BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Established by the City Council on June 13, 2002, the purpose of the RWCIAB is to advise the City Council on spending priorities from the RiverWalk Special Revenue Fund dedicated to capital infrastructure improvements of the RiverWalk.

A total of three (3) applications were received from qualified applicants for three (3) of the available seats for the categories of River Bend Lessee and Downtown Resident who is not a Lessee. Therefore, the Office of the City Clerk recommends that the EWDC Committee recommend the applicants for appointment.
