Debated

Matthew Mattila of 1940 Beach Avenue (District 1307) applied January 16, 2026; he works in Commercial Strategy and Sustainability at Rio Tinto and previously consulted with the Rocky Mountain Institute supporting cities on sustainable infrastructure. Committee rules require at least one member from each district (1306, 1307, 1308, 1312); the District 1307 seat is currently open with a term running through December 31, 2028. At March 25, Chair Palmer noted there was one strong candidate for District 1307 and expressed confidence the candidate could join ESC if approved by MBRC.
