Olympia Municipal Code 3.62.130 reads:
“The Board shall consist of an odd number totaling at least 15 member representatives of Ratepayers representing a diversity of business classifications, interests, and viewpoints within the PBIA”
Currently there are seven active board members. Of the eight remaining open seats there are four which expire at the end of 2020, two which expire at the end of 2021, and two which expire at the end of 2022. To recruit new membership, staff will solicit applications via email to the ratepayer list. Applications will be reviewed at the board’s September meeting, and any appointees will begin their appointed term in October.
The Board will discuss which of the open positions ought to be filled with appointees.
