SUBIECT: Renton Library Advisory Board Vacancy
Renton Library Advisory Board Member, Cathe�ine Ploue-Smith resigned from the board
effective September 1, 2016. This board position term officially expired September 1,
2016. Staff made note on the City's website that there was a vacancy to fill. We
received a total of 10 applications,two of which were ineligible by non-Renton resident
status.
The current board members (4 total) reviewed the eight eligible applications and
forwarded four to be interviewed. Two of the current Library Advisory Board members,
one KCLS staff person, as well as one city staff person, participated in the interview
process. Interviews were held on March 30, 2017. Two applicants did not make the
scheduled interview, one due to illness and the other declined for personal reasons.
The interview panel felt the two candidates interviewed both were very qualified for the
vacant position. After deliberation,the Renton Library Advisory board members wish to
recommend Jaime Greene to fill the board position vacancy, with a five-year term
expiring September 2021.
laime Greene is the current Executive Director for Renton Communities In Schools. Due
to her educational background, community engagement, and previous board experience
the Renton Library Advisory Board members and Community Services staff feel
Ms. Greene would be a valuable addition to this board.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please call me.
Thank you.
