Renteria boards Capital Metro board
Tuesday, May 24, 2016 by Caleb Pritchard
City Council will soon have three of its members sitting on the Capital Metro Board of Directors. With little fanfare last week, Council voted to appoint Council Member Pio Renteria to fill the seat being vacated by Ann Stafford. Stafford is stepping down after serving two consecutive three-year terms. She attended her last board meeting on Monday. Renteria will likely be made official at the next board meeting on June 15. He’ll join the city’s other appointee, Council Member Delia Garza, as well as Council Member Ann Kitchen, who is serving at the behest of the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization.
