Two commissioners to leave; recruitment under way for Human Services Commission
Summary
The commission recognized departing members Julie and Rich, and staff urged residents to apply to fill two open commissioner positions with a 5 p.m. application deadline (date not specified).
The Sammamish City Human Services Commission said two commissioners, Julie and Rich, are concluding their service and the commission is accepting applications to fill two open seats.
A presenter thanked the departing commissioners for their service, noting both served as chairs at times and helped direct COVID-related discretionary funding. "You've both been through 2 grant cycles, 1 of which was over COVID," the presenter said, and described the commissioners as having helped connect the commission to community groups and senior programming that "positively impacted hundreds of residents."
Staff asked commissioners to spread the word about recruitment; the presenter said there had been only one applicant so far and encouraged members to push outreach into their networks. The presenter confirmed that appointments will be forwarded to the City Council and said applicants should apply quickly. The transcript records a deadline time of 5 p.m. but does not specify a calendar date.
Why it matters: filling commission vacancies affects the membership that reviews grant applications and recommends allocations to the City Council. The commission said incoming members will be seated next month and a chair and vice chair will be elected after they join.
No formal vote was taken on appointments during the meeting; the items will go to Council for final action.
