Deputy Mayor Moore elected vice chair of King County Regional Water Quality Committee
Summary
The committee selected Deputy Mayor Moore as vice chair in a unanimous voice vote after nominations and discussion about rotation among city and utility representatives.
Deputy Mayor Moore was appointed vice chair of the King County Regional Water Quality Committee by unanimous voice vote on Jan. 16.
Claudia Balducci, Chair of the committee, opened the appointment item by noting the vice chair is selected each year under the RWQC charter “by a majority vote of members who are not county council members.” Several members discussed the customary rotation among city and utility representatives before Council Member Sweet formally nominated Deputy Mayor Moore.
Council members and commissioners praised existing participation by Seattle representatives and thanked outgoing leadership. Moore, who was nominated and did not decline, said, “I'm very, very honored, and I hope I can perform adequately,” in brief remarks after the vote.
Chair Balducci called for an aye/nay voice vote. Members present signified “aye,” and Balducci said the motion was “unanimously approved.” The committee’s minutes record the selection as the formal vice chair appointment for 2025.
The vote was procedural and specific to committee leadership; no policy or budgetary actions were taken with the appointment.
