The Renton Municipal Arts Commission currently has two positions open,vacated at the
end of 2016,for terms of office that will expire December of 2020.Two applications that
were submitted to your office and forwarded to the Commission, proved to be from
highly qualified candidates, David Samek and Su Gow.
A graduate of Renton High School and Renton resident, David Samek, participated in a
RMAC project in 2016, subsequently attended a monthly RMAC meeting, and then
submitted an application (attached herewith)to become a Commissioner.

Commissioners were able to discuss with him his ideas for strengthening the music
scene in the community.Also of interest to the Commissioners is his considerable
experience in accounting and financial operations as an Accounting Manager for The
Boeing Company.These skills are a particular need of the RMAC at the present time.
Su Gow, another Renton resident, also has a business background and related skills
. (public speaking, learning and development consultant). Su is a self-employed artist
(sculpture).A committee of the RMAC met with Su to discuss her interest in serving on
the Commission.
The RMAC committee recommended to the full Commission that the names of the two
applicants be forwarded to you for your consideration.The eommission approved the
recommendation at its meeting of April 4, 2017.
In concurrence with the Renton Municipal Arts Commission, I request that you forward
the names of David Samek and Su Gow to the Renton City Council with your
recommendation for their appointment to the Renton Municipal Arts Commission.
