TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPOINTING TERRY R. BOOK TO THE ARKANSAS RIVER BASIN
ROUNDTABLE REPRESENTING PUEBLO COUNTY MUNICIPALITIES
ISSUE
Should the City Council appoint Terry R. Book to the Arkansas River Basin Roundtable
representing the Pueblo County municipalities?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
On December 14, 2009, City Council approved Resolution No. 11763 appointing Scott
W. Hobson to the Arkansas River Basin Roundtable representing Pueblo County
municipalities. Mr. Hobson served as the City’s representative in this position until
November 2013 when he submitted his resignation. Mr. Hobson has provided
professional representation as the municipal representative on the Arkansas Water
Basin that has been valuable to the City and the residents of Pueblo. Based on the
importance of the City’s ongoing involvement with regional and statewide water issues it
is important that a knowledgeable person be appointed to fill that vacancy. I would
recommend that the Executive Director of the Board of Waterworks of Pueblo,
Colorado, Terry R. Book, be appointed to the Arkansas River Basin Roundtable. Mr.
Book has knowledge of environmental, agricultural, recreation, and industrial water
issues within the Arkansas River Basin.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
