The Clallam County Parks Advisory Board voted to forward a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners to fill a vacancy and reappoint two incumbents.

A board member moved to accept the cut committee’s recommendation to forward Troy Jarmuth (sequenced in transcript as Troy Jarmuth, Sequim) as the new appointee and to recommend reappointment of incumbents Diane Chung and Peter Craig. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the board reported four ayes when the motion passed.

Board members discussed the desire for more diversity on the advisory board, including broader recruitment from the county’s west end and younger candidates. One member suggested establishing a student advisory position to involve high school or college students; the board agreed the bylaws and legal questions would need review before implementing such a position.

Staff said the commissioners will take final action in two weeks: a work session followed by a decision on Tuesday the 14th. The advisory board will notify candidates after the Board of County Commissioners acts.
