SUBJECT: Recommendation to Reappoint Human Services Advisory
Committee Members
There are two members of the Human Services Advisory Committee (HSAC) whose terms
expire December 31, 2021. The members are considered members of good standing and
wish to continue their service on the Committee. The Equity, Housing, and Human Services
Committee recommends reappointment of Amy Koehl and Krista Townsend. Their next
terms will expire December 31, 2024.
Amy Koehl is long-time member and has played an important role as chairperson during her
time on the committee. Amy brings a wealth of knowledge and institutional understanding
to the Human Services Committee. She remains an important member in excellent standing
and is committed to the community. Ms. Koehl is an asset to the HSAC, staff, and residents
of Renton.
Krista Townsend is an active member and currently the vice-chair of the Human Services
Committee. Ms. Townsend is a long-time member who adds insight and thoughtful
commentary on matters related to resources and services for Renton’s most vulnerable
populations. She is aware of the needs and uses an equity lens when looking and reviewing
applications.
The HSAC is very fortunate that Ms. Koehl and Ms. Townsend are willing to volunteer their
time in this capacity and continue their service to the Committee. They will continue to be
valuable advisory proponents for the city’s Human Services programming efforts. The
Human Services Committee currently has 7 out of 11 positions filled. Interviews to fill some
of the vacancies are scheduled for later this month with pending appointment planned for
January 2022.
