Mayor Nancy Backus was elected vice chair of the King County Regional Policy Committee (RPC) during the committee's Jan. 8 meeting.
The nomination was made from the Sound Cities Association membership and seconded on the floor; the committee then voted to confirm Backus. The clerk announced the vote as 12 ayes, no nos and no excused votes.
The committee's chair, Ron Von Reichbauer, thanked outgoing vice chair Mayor Birney for her service and welcomed Backus to the leadership role. Backus briefly acknowledged Birney's work and expressed appreciation for the committee's regional role.
The election was procedural and occurred at the start of the meeting before the committee moved into other agenda items.
