District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority Board of Directors Jimmy Ortiz Confirmation Resolution of 2025
This resolution confirms Mayor Bowser's nomination of Dr. Jimmy Ortiz for reappointment to the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) Board of Directors. It formally approves his role as an alternate District resident member for a term ending September 12, 2030, under existing DC law (D.C. Law 11-111). The bill directly affects Dr. Ortiz’s official position on DC Water’s governing board, which oversees the District’s water and sewer services. As a procedural confirmation resolution (not a policy bill), it does not alter services or regulations but finalizes an appointment process.
