Board members said every member received their first-choice committee, and the board read final rosters aloud. The board assigned initial staggered terms so not all seats expire at the same time: some members will serve two-year initial terms and others four-year terms, with four-year terms standard thereafter.
During the meeting the board unanimously approved a motion to add two members to the Human Services subcommittee. Lynn moved to add the two members and a member seconded; the motion passed by voice vote. The board also accepted a proposal to use the order in which names appear on the slides to determine seat numbers and initial term length for most positions, rather than drawing names from a hat.
City staff and board members identified several open seats the CAB will recruit for: a business-owner seat, a marina-tenant seat, a representative from the North Central neighborhood and a representative from Pack Ridge. Tara Hahn said she will post recruitment notices and confirmed staff will provide subcommittee email lists for ongoing coordination.
The board instructed subcommittees to meet before the Sept. 24 CAB meeting, elect chairs and prepare one-year work plans to report back at that September meeting. Colleen, who offered to assist with public engagement, said she hopes to “assist... with the strategic planning process” and staff said the consultant working on the city strategic plan may present at the Sept. 24 meeting. The CAB set no meeting in August; future full-board dates announced were Sept. 24, Oct. 29 and Dec. 10.
Why this matters: the appointments and staggered terms set the advisory board’s membership and leadership cadence for the next two to four years; subcommittee work plans will guide the board’s priorities into 2026.
The board completed its business and adjourned after approving the schedule and initial organizational steps.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Citizen Advisory Board Meeting July 30th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its July 30 meeting the Citizens Advisory Board finalized subcommittee rosters, assigned initial staggered two- and four-year terms, and directed subcommittees to meet and develop work plans for the Sept. 24 board meeting.","taxTitle","Des Moines City, King County, Washington","taxId",51807,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6149804,"Citizens Advisory Board asks council to clarify subcommittee term limits in draft ordinance",474,266000,740000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5510550-e427b9dd10a174c034aa1916893e3ea8&start=266&end=740","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5510550-e427b9dd10a174c034aa1916893e3ea8/thumbnail_266000.jpg","/articles/6149804/Des-Moines-City/King-County/Washington/Citizens-Advisory-Board-asks-council-to-clarify-subcommittee-term-limits-in-draft-ordinance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6149804-813b090d4c8037241d546cdfc8a2cd6d/orig.mp4?Expires=1776072286&Signature=Z7~byfoupHjrw8T9DQYSCVrOSCoKHUcii223t01OhFgxZT4TOfScQ2ROgtqITEZwy-B7FPk5qx1SPs030OMdxt-u~46CGqCVTPoCTV76lAV58eWcAJ4nmrYuCYYmsAzSW6nvi7yV7thwVPLHzN-5nL3pZAwTtKyiclQXvQuB1ChhWxlDZAy1Ycu0i8xQRdsOMhC982zcoK1I-lL2DDFmu-GSGoAONIkOMORkW~A~DSdZMkhnYdzkWt~~sFP4F6nDOUaPQ6kNVUYNGZ~8Lhdtr4ecZtn5dbt5BCCexzOfPL5pN2x5ll5VWOtlQ0fW35-O3nc-QLdc-L3JzT1ycQUqjQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a July 30 meeting, the Citizens Advisory Board voted unanimously to ask the City Council to clarify language in a draft ordinance so that subcommittee term limits mirror those of the Citizens Advisory Board.
The board’s recommendation came after members said a PowerPoint slide accompanying the ordinance appeared to state that subcommittees had “no term limit,” which board members said created confusion about whether community members who were not CAB members could serve indefinitely on subcommittees.
Tara Hahn, who presented the PowerPoint overview of the draft ordinance, said, “The new organization looks more like this,” as she described a structure in which three subcommittees (Senior Services, Human Services and the Arts) would sit under a single Citizens Advisory Board that reports to City Council. She told members the proposed CAB would include 12 neighborhood seats and 11 at-large seats and that subcommittees had been proposed with a minimum of three and a maximum of nine members.
Board members raised questions about term language. Eddie asked, “So you’re saying... they can serve 4 years and 8 years and 16 years?” referring to the PowerPoint line that read “no term limit for subcommittees.” Several members said the slide was nebulous and asked for clearer wording.
Tracy moved that the board recommend amending the PowerPoint language so “term limits for subcommittees will be the same as the CAB.” Victoria seconded the motion; the board voted unanimously in favor. Tracy said the amendment was to clarify the slide; Sarah (city staff) emphasized that “this is not the ordinance itself, and the ordinance is already in there,” and that the draft ordinance, as written, includes term-limit provisions tied to CAB membership.
Sarah also told the board that the ordinance had passed a first reading and that the second reading was scheduled for Sept. 11; she said there would be an opportunity for public comment at that City Council meeting. The board’s action was a recommendation to council to clarify the presentation language and did not itself change the ordinance text.
Why this matters: board members said clearer language is needed so applicants and the public understand whether service on subcommittees is limited by CAB membership terms and how staggered two- and four-year initial terms will operate.
The board’s recommendation will be transmitted to City Council for consideration at the ordinance’s second reading on Sept. 11.","At its July 30 meeting the Citizens Advisory Board unanimously recommended that the City Council clarify language in a draft ordinance so subcommittee term limits match the board's staggered terms, after members raised confusion over wording that read \"no term limit for subcommittees.\"","actionData","errors"]
