The proposed resolution, introduced by Councilmember Charles Allen, declares an emergency regarding the need to confirm the appointment of Vince Micone to the Board of Directors of the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water). The Board consists of 11 principal and 11 alternate members, with six members required to be District residents, appointed by the Mayor with the Council's consent. The resolution highlights that the confirmation resolution for Micone was introduced on December 15, 2025, but has not yet been voted on by the Committee on Transportation and the Environment, and without action, it will be deemed disapproved by April 7, 2026.

The Council identifies the circumstances surrounding Micone's confirmation as an emergency, necessitating immediate action to prevent a vacancy on the Board reserved for District residents. The resolution aims to ensure that the confirmation process is expedited, allowing for the adoption of the emergency approval resolution without delay. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon adoption.
