Look who got nominated to the PUC board

Sault Ste. Marie Mayor Christian Provenzano is a step closer to becoming a member of the Sault PUC board of directors.

Sault Ste. Marie Mayor Christian Provenzano is a step closer to becoming a member of the Sault PUC board of directors.

Provenzano told SooToday in September if he was elected mayor October 27, he would seek a seat on the PUC board to monitor the utility's water quality improvement strategy.

After the new council's first official business meeting December 15, Provenzano was chosen to sit on the PUC board in 2015-2016 along with city councillors Marchy Bruni and Frank Fata, according to a list of council committee nominations provided by the city clerk.

Provenzano and each of the city's 12 councillors were named to several boards and committees during the closed portion of Monday night's council meeting.

Many city boards and committees also consist of nominated citizens. Those appointments have not yet been released.

Appointments to boards and committees made by council after the December 15 meeting must still be officially approved by council at its January 15 meeting.

Provenzano's appointment to the PUC board will be put before councillors January 15 as members of the Corporation of the City of Sault Ste. Marie, which is the PUC's sole shareholder.  

The following information was provided to SooToday by Malcolm White, city clerk:
