Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to offer public testimony today? Anyone else? See, no one will close the public hearing. And that takes us to our first item on business item in today's agenda. We have a motion confirming the executive's appointment of A.S. Peterson to the Council District six seat for the For Culture Board , actually, who resides in Council District six to the full culture board as an executive At-Large member for the remaining remaining three years of a unexpired term that would end at the end of 2022.

As the chair stated, this motion would confirm the appointment of A.C. Peterson to the board culture board of directors. And just a quick briefing, a quick recap of the board culture board. It's board culture is King County's Cultural Public Development Authority. It was created in 2002 to administer King County's arts and heritage programs, and it's governed by a 15 member board of directors. Directors are to have a demonstrated commitment to and knowledge of cultural resources, the active and experienced community and civic and in community and civic issues and concerns, and have an ability to evaluate the needs of cultural constituencies in the region as a whole. And directors are to represent a range of talents, experience, backgrounds and viewpoints. Directors must be residents of King County and are chosen to reflect the geographic and cultural diversity of the county. And directors are appointed by either King County Council members or the executive and confirmed by the King County Council. So Miss Peterson, who sits beside me, lives in Kirkland, and she's a resident of Council District Six. She was appointed to fill a vacancy for the remainder of this term for Position 13, and she was appointed by executive Dow Constantine. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in architecture and recently recently retired as the communications officers for UW Libraries. She's produced numerous works of dance and choreographed both locally and nationally, and the proposed motion would confirm her appointment to the board culture board for the remainder of this three year term, expiring December 31st, 2022. And her appointment is consistent with the criteria established in the Fort Culture Charter or called for park board members. That concludes my Stack Report. Thank you. Senior Questions. Leia, Welcome. And on. There you go. Hello. Hello. Good afternoon. Thank you. Just to piggyback onto my introduction. Numerous day jobs have been in arts administration at Northwest Asian-American Theater and on the boards contemporary performance presenter Before I most recently went to UTEP Libraries as a communications officer. My volunteer work also includes narrating at the talking book and Braille library, where I specialize in pronouncing Japanese words and names. So they select books for me for that. I guess I welcome any questions. Are you already participating in the Forum Culture Board? What interests and passions have you found before the board already? I've served on the Arts Advisory Committee for six years and what I'm really most passionate about is inclusion for people and artists and administrators of differing abilities. And that is already part of the mission and has evolved as part of the mission most recently and representing geographic diversity as well. I grew up in Seattle, but I've been living in Kirkland since 2003, so I'm getting a different view of the county. Also, as an arts, a reviewer for sustained support, I've traveled really all over from federal way to to Duvall to Snoqualmie, to review, to observe arts performances and review them.
