From Market Watch:

Timothy F. Brick, whose leadership has helped guide one of the nation’s largest regional water agency’s response to unprecedented supply and financial challenges, was unanimously re-elected today as chairman of the board of directors of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

Brick–the city of Pasadena’s representative on the Metropolitan board since June 1985 and the longest tenured MWD board member–will begin a second two-year term as chairman Jan. 1.

“As we scan the horizon for what the water future holds, Metropolitan is facing unparalleled challenges to the reliability and availability of our imported water supplies because of drought, along with the unpredictability of financial markets throughout the nation and worldwide,” Brick said. “I believe a time of great challenges, however, is a time of great opportunity. Through the vision and equanimity our board has displayed in overcoming past adversities, I am confident we will rise to meet the district’s mission of providing a reliable, high-quality and affordable water supply for the 19 million Southern Californians we serve,” he said.

With his re-election, Brick continues as Metropolitan’s 16th chairman in the district’s 80-year history. As the head of Metropolitan’s 37-member board, Brick represents district policies and programs at national, state and local levels. He also presides over monthly meetings of the board and its executive committee. In addition, he appoints members of the district’s seven standing committees, as well as the leaders of any special committee or task forces.
