Washington Convention and Sports Authority Board of Directors Julio Jay Haddock Ortiz Confirmation Resolution of 2025

It formally requests the Council of the District of Columbia to confirm Mayor Bowser's reappointment of Julio Jay Haddock Ortiz to the Washington Convention and Sports Authority Board of Directors. Ortiz, a long-time hospitality industry professional and community leader from Ward 6, is being confirmed for a term ending May 16, 2030.

MODERATE

This is a procedural transition from the introduction stage to enrollment of a confirmation resolution for Julio Jay Haddock Ortiz's reappointment to the Washington Convention and Sports Authority Board of Directors. The mayor's nomination letter, biographical narrative, and legal sufficiency memo were removed, leaving only the final enrolled resolution. The citation year was updated from 2025 to 2026 and minor language was cleaned up.

TECHNICAL

The resolution citation year changed from 'Confirmation Resolution of 2025' to 'Confirmation Resolution of 2026' and the date is now March 3, 2026, reflecting when the Council actually acted on it.

The description of the nominee was reworded from 'an individual with proven expertise in tourism public member' to 'a public member with proven expertise in tourism,' fixing a grammatical issue.

The mayor's formal nomination letter, detailed biographical narrative, and the Office of the General Counsel legal sufficiency memo were all removed as part of the transition from introduction to enrollment format.

Section 3 was shortened from 'The Council of the District of Columbia shall transmit...to the Office of the Mayor' to 'The Council shall transmit...to the Mayor.'
