The City encouraged qualified individuals to apply to serve as the newest member of the Issaquah City Council. Five residents answered the invitation. Meet the applicants for the vacant position:
Mary Harris
Katherine Hurt
Lindsey Walsh
Rachael Cox
Michele Kemper
Qualified applicants had to be at least 18 years old, a registered voter and a resident of the City of Issaquah for at least one year prior to the appointment.
The seat became vacant Jan. 1, 2019, due to the resignation of Bill Ramos who has been elected to serve as state representative.
Applicants had the opportunity to provide a 10-minute verbal presentation to the Council at a special meeting on Jan. 14.
That meeting can be viewed on the City’s YouTube channel.
The purpose of this special meeting is to allow Councilmembers to attend an informal meet-and-greet for applicants to the vacant Council position. Council invites the community to provide feedback regarding criteria, desired qualities or qualifications they should consider when filling the vacant seat.
