The Water and Wastewater Commission elected its first set of officers, committee members and appointees Wednesday at its first meeting since transitioning to the new 10-1 system of City Council representation. Commissioner William Moriarty has taken over as chair, and Commissioner Chien Lee is now vice chair. Moriarty appointed Commissioner Mickey Fishbeck Maia as chair of the commission’s Budget Committee, which also consists of commissioners Travis Michel, Susan Turrieta and Christianne Castleberry. In addition, Moriarty named Commissioner Annie Kellough as the commission’s appointee to the Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Plan Citizen Advisory Committee, which makes recommendations to the BCCP Coordinating Committee and meets quarterly.
