TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
FROM: TIKAN SINGH, GENERAL MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 2023
SUBJECT: ELECTION OF UTILITY BOARD OFFICERS
BACKGROUND:
Following the selection of the Mayor Pro-Tem of the City Council, the Utility Board must elect a
Chairperson, a Vice Chairperson, and a Secretary to serve a term of one year.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Utility Board take the following action:
1)Elect by majority vote Dennis Beckwith as Chairperson and Edward J. Alvarez as Vice
Chairperson to serve as officers of the Utility Board; and
2)Affirm that the City Clerk will serve as Secretary.
ANALYSIS:
The Utility Board was formed in May 2001 pursuant to Ordinance 01-03, which was later amended by
Ordinance 01-07. The Utility Board is appointed by and is presently composed of City Council Members
acting as Utility Board Members. The General Manager serves as executive advisor to the Board. The
Utility Board meets monthly on the fourth Monday of each month at the Azusa Light & Water conference
room to conduct business related to the City’s electric and water utilities.
Section 2-415 of the Azusa Municipal Code requires the Utility Board to elect a Chairperson, Vice
Chairperson, and a Secretary annually by the second meeting following the appointment of the Mayor
Pro-Tem by the City Council. Since a new Mayor Pro-Tem was selected on February 6, 2023, the Utility
Board must elect a new Chairperson and Vice Chairperson by majority vote. The functions of the
Secretary are historically delegated to the City Clerk.
