The remaining three members (Dylan Carlson, Erin Klika, and Quint Newell) agreed to serve a new two-year term in accordance with Olympia Municipal Code Chapter 2.05.
To fill the remaining vacancies on the Salary Commission, the Mayor appointed, and the Olympia City Council approved two new members to serve respective two-year terms; new Commission members are Karen Messmer and Parfait Bassalé.
