At its July 27, 2011 meeting, the Detroit Board of Water Commissioners approved a resolution authorizing efforts to hire an interim technical advisor and/or a financial advisor.
Advisors will assist the Board in its efforts over the next 3 to 6 months. The main tasks will include reviewing rate setting, capital projects and financial implications. Advisors will work directly for the Board of Water Commissioners, not DWSD senior management.
The Board is soliciting names and resumes until August 17th and plans on making a decision at its August 24, 2011 meeting. The interim advisors could be loaned or detailed from a municipal entity or private industry.
