City Council confirmed the newest member of LADWP's board of commissioners without discussion. She’s an executive at a company that markets water and power, raising the potential for conflicts of interest.
Mayor Eric Garcetti’s latest appointee to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s board of commissioners is a top executive at a company that markets water and power and has a history of trying to make deals with government agencies in Southern California, including LADWP.
Nicole Neeman Brady serves as principal and chief operating officer at L.A.-based Renewable Resources Group, which develops solar energy facilities and has bought and sold lands with valuable water rights.The five-member board of commissioners oversees the country’s largest municipal utility, helping guide purchases of energy and water for the 4 million people who live in Los Angeles.
Neeman Brady said in an email that she’s “not aware of any conflicts of interest.” But she’ll recuse herself if a potential conflict arises, she said. “I love this city, and I believe my professional experience in energy and water makes me well-suited to provide oversight beneficial to LADWP’s customers,” she said. “I have always followed all applicable disclosure, ethics and conflict-of-interest requirements, and I will continue to do so.
The good news about Neeman Brady’s appointment is that she knows the energy business, Pickel said. The challenge, he said, will be figuring out when she has to recuse herself from votes or policy discussions that could affect projects Renewable Resources Group is developing.
