Board of Directors of the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission Brad Belzak Appointment Resolution of 2026
This resolution appoints Brad Belzak to the Board of Directors of the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission for a four-year term ending in February 2030, replacing Christopher A. Hart. The appointment is based on existing laws governing the commission and requires the Council to send a copy of the resolution to the appointee, the Commission, and the Mayor. Belzak, a Ward 2 resident with extensive experience in government operations and risk management, will serve on the regulatory body that oversees safety incidents and enterprise risk for the multi-jurisdictional transit authority. The measure takes effect immediately upon adoption and does not alter the commission's structure or authority, only the membership composition.
