The Farmington City Council approved reappointments to the Lodgers Tax Advisory Board and confirmed the city's representative to the Farmers Mutual Ditch board during its meeting.

Mayor Mary Duckett recommended reappointments of Judy Contreras and Amy Henkenes to two-year terms on the Lodgers Tax Advisory Board. Councilor Rogers moved to approve the reappointments; the motion was seconded and passed by unanimous voice vote.

The council also appointed Rochelle Brown, a member of the city engineering staff and the city's water-rights specialist, as the city's representative to the Farmers Mutual Ditch. Mr. Mayes (city staff) said the city is a customer of the Farmers Mutual District and that customer representation on the district board is required. Mr. Seifer (staff) noted Brown's engineering and water-science credentials and the importance of having a voting city representative when the city holds shares in a ditch.

Councilor Rogers moved to approve Brown's appointment; the council seconded the motion and approved it unanimously. Staff said the appointee will represent the city when ditch issues come before the Farmers Mutual District.
