Sammamish resident Bassem Bejjani will fill one of the two vacant spots on the Beaver Lake Management Board without going through the normal interview process. The Sammamish City Council approved the appointment during its Tuesday regular meeting.
Bejjani lives within the Beaver Lake Management District.
It has been an on-going process to recruit the remaining positions for the five-person board.
City staff recommended skipping the normal proceedings for filling the empty spot because the board has been operating half-staffed for several months. Board terms expire in 2017.
The council created the Beaver Lake district in 2006.
The unpaid board members, who represent diverse Beaver Lake watershed property owners, are charged with assisting the city in implementing the Lake Management District program.
