SUBJECT: Reappointments to Renton Munictpal Arts Commission
Background
The following individuals had their terms on the Renton Municipal Arts Commission
expire on December 31, 2016:
• Biil Huls
• Marsha Rollinger
Bill Huls is the Manage�and heart of the Renton Civic Theatre, an incredibly rich live-
performance venue in Downtown Renton. His work with the annual summer"Teen
Musical"nurtures our community's aspiring artists and others when they attend the
lively pe�formances. Bili's sharp insights at monthly RMAC meetings add value to the
issues at hand.
Bill has served as a Commissioner since 2011. He has become even more invoived with
the RMAC since his last reappointment.Currently,he is on a committee working to
formulate budget policy fo�the Commission.
Marsha Rollinger is an artist and graphic designer with her own firm and, although this
requires much of her time,she committed to serving as the RMAC Vice-Chair in 2014,
Co-Chair in 2015,and Chair in 2016.
Her aesthetic sense and leadership skilis have been the primary reasons the RMAC has
become active in not oniy advising about art, but making it happen,particularly in
Downtown Renton.
Currently,the Renton Municipal Arts Commission has two open positions, but sufficient
application5 have been submitted to make recommendations within the next few
weeks.
Recommendatton
I recommend the reappointment of Bill Huis and Marsha Rollinger to the Renton
Municipal Arts Commission.
