Mayor Hickenlooper plans to appoint two Denver Water Department board members this month, according to an interview in today's Rocky Mountain News [January 1, 2004, "Hickenlooper to fill 2 posts on water board this month"]. From the article, "The appointees will replace close associates of former Mayor Wellington Webb: Webb policy adviser Andrew Wallach and former Denver City Attorney Dan Muse. Whoever fills the seats will help decide critical issues in the next decade, including how much water conservation the metro area needs, which new water projects should be built, how much the Western Slope should be paid as more water is diverted, and whether the fast-growing, water-short South Metro area should be able to tap Denver Water's system to capture excess water in years when there are surpluses." Asked about the qualities he desires in the appointees, the Mayor responded "I want someone who is knowledgeable about water, someone who is open-minded and recognizes the importance of conservation. I want someone who can help build a collaborative environment . . . and someone with the wisdom of Solomon."
