SUBJECT:Park Board Vacancy
Long-time park board member Michael O’Donin resigned from his term on the Board of
Commissioners in October 2016.This board position term officially expires October
2018.Staff made note on the City’s website that there currently was a vacancy to fill.
We received a total of six applications,one of which was ineligible by his non-Renton
resident status.
All six current board members reviewed the applications and forwarded three to be
interviewed.Five of our current Parks Commission board members,as well as one staff
person,participated in the interview process and met with three of the applicants in
March.We felt very fortunate to have such high quality of candidates to choose from.
After deliberation the Park Commissioners and I concur that our recommendation is
Shun Takano to fill the board position vacancy,with the term expiring October 2018.
During his career at Boeing,Shun was loaned to King County United Way,in an
executive role,to help run the King County Charitable Campaign;while now in
retirement,he mostly volunteers with his church on various boards and committees.He
stated in his application,“Since retirement,I have done my daily morning walks down at
Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park,and have very much appreciated the park and the
way it is run and maintained.”As a note of interest,the Seattle Times has published two
of his many submitted nature photographs in their publications.Personally,he is now
looking for ways to engage and serve the community and find this opportunity to learn
and contribute to be most worthwhile.The Parks Commission and Community Services
liaisons agree he would be a welcomed addition to the Board.
Should you have any questions or concerns I can answer,please call me.
Thank you
