Mercer Island Council confirms three volunteer appointments to arts, utility and open‑space boards
Summary
The council confirmed Smriti R. Gowal to the Arts Council, Joy Leitchi to the Utility Board and Andrew Rosenthal to the Open Space Conservancy Trust by roll‑call votes; terms and procedure were read into the record.
Mercer Island’s City Council voted March 17 to appoint three residents to local volunteer bodies. After distributing and tallying written ballots, the clerk read the results into the record: Smriti R. Gowal was appointed to Arts Council position 7 (term through May 31, 2029); Joy Leitchi was selected for Utility Board position 2 (term through May 2028); and Mayor Rosenbaum’s appointee Andrew Rosenthal was confirmed to the Open Space Conservancy Trust position 6 (term through May 31, 2028).
The council adopted resolutions (16‑90 and 16‑91) to formalize the appointments by roll‑call vote; the clerk read appointment language and the mayor offered congratulations. The council thanked all applicants for their willingness to serve. No objections or abstentions were recorded during the votes.
Next steps: the clerk will notify the appointees and complete administrative onboarding per standard city practice.
