She has proven to be a great advocate for the City and brings a lot to the overall operations of the group. I appreciate her dedication and her willingness to learn more about what we can offer and provide for not only people living in Renton today but future generations who will benefit from parks,trails and recreational opportunities. Let me know if you need anything else. From: Marlene Winter[mailto:marleneCa�marlenewinter.com) Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2013 12:19 PM To: Terry Higashiyama Subject: Re: Park Board term Hi Terry-- I have so enjoyed my time on the Park Board-- getting to know such dedicated people and learning more about the city I love and our unmatched parks and nature trails. So thank you for selecting me. I would be glad to continue on the board, however, I feel a little out of my element-- having served in Human Resource Management for 40 years and being somewhat isolated in Kennydale. Looking at someone like Larry who adds so much expertise, Cynthia who is an important voice for People of Color, Alan Dieckman who is deep in knowledge of every Renton park, I question if you could find someone who adds more value than I. I had mentioned Rudy Case-- but understand the woman issue. I was thinking of joining Renton Trails and I could go to a meeting a scope folks out to see if there is a woman with a good perspective in their mix. So far all I have met are male members. I am a good voice for dog issues and trying to take a balanced approach and hold back my passions. I do visit the Cedar River trail often either on foot or bike and do my � . � i • best to pick up dog waste and human litter, sadly, found there. So in summary, if you would like me to continue I would be honored to do so. If you have a candidate with broader view I would be fine with that and no offense taken. This , , is the recruiter in me-- always trying to find the strongest contributors. Lastly I have to say you are such a treasure to Renton. Ter for Ma or?? I could get behind that! � rY Y Marlene Murlene Winter HR Consulting cell 425 417-4722 Land Line 425 Z55-8906 marlene@marlenewinter.com From:Terry Higashiyama<THipashivamaCa�Rentonwa.qov> To:"Marlene Winter(marlene@marlenewinter.com)"<marlene@marlenewinter.com> Cc: Sandra J Pilat<SpilatCa�Rentonwa.Qov> Sent:Tuesday, May 7,2013 8:56 AM Subject: Park Board term It is hard to believe that your term as Park Commissioner ends on June ls`.
