I, along with staff, would like to request your consideration to recommend the following
reappointments to the City Council for the following Park Board Commissioners.
Cynthia Burns'term expired 10/1/2018 and continues to be a vital, active participant on
the Parks Commission. She also attends numerous city events each year representing
the Board.She has been an active contributor on sub-committees, including revising
Parks Rules and Regulations, and a relentless supporter and advocate for the city and
the Benson Neighborhood Community Plan. Cynthia realizes the importance of parks
and recreational opportunities in the community and serves the city by promoting these
efforts at every opportunity.
Shun Takano's term expired 10/1/2018 after serving the remaining year of Michael
O'Donin's term.Shun continues to be a strong supporter and advocate for parks,
contributing valuable insight and public perspective to the programs and plans the
commission reviews. He values the importance of neighborhood and regional parks,
recreational opportunities in the community, and serves the city by promoting these
efforts at every opportunity.
Their individual commitments to the community are assets to the Commission, staff,
and citizens of Renton.
Seeing as Cynthia Burns and Shun Takano have faithfully and willingly continued
performing as Park Commissioners since 10/1/2018, and committed to do so for
another term, I request your consideration to recommend their Park Commission
reappointments be effective retroactive to 10/1/2018,with regular terms expiring
10/1/2022.
