Board of Directors of the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission Brad Belzak Confirmation Resolution of 2025

It formally confirms Mayor Bowser's appointment of Brad Belzak as an alternate member of the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission Board, filling a vacancy left by Victoria Wassmer. The resolution specifies Belzak will serve until February 9, 2029, and requires the Council to adopt it for the appointment to take effect. No policy changes or mechanisms are involved - this is solely a personnel confirmation.
