Background and Analysis:
The General Government Committee interviewed Katherine Williams at its March 6, 2017, meeting and was impressed with her candidacy. However, the Committee chose to recommend that another candidate be appointed to fill the vacancy on the Arts Commission, and Council approved.
On March 31, 2017, the recently appointed candidate notified City Staff of her resignation of her seat on the Commission. The Committee is recommending Ms. Williams be appointed to fill the newly vacated seat on the Arts Commission with a term ending March 31, 2018.
The Arts Commission chair joined the General Government Committee for Ms. Williams the March 6 interview and supports the Committee’s recommendation. The applicant’s application and resume are attached.
