A MOTION confirming the executive's appointment of Dominica Myers to the King County 4Culture task force, as the district one representative.
I see 33, 34, 33, 60. We're going to have one consolidated motion on this if we get there. Yes, sir. All right. Go, Mary. So again, Mary Bergen on. For the record, the materials begin on page 73 of your packet. There are 27 motions earlier this year when the council approved Ordinance 1868 for restructuring for culture, the Council requested the executive to help establish a task force to study four cultures practices with a particular focus on equity and social justice. The ordinance required that the task force be made up of at least 14 members, and you can see the makeup of the required membership. On page 73, the executive has responded with a proposal for 27 members. There are members who represent the executive, members representing for culture the council in Carolyn Bush, your chief of Staff, Arts, Cultural Access, Washington Sound City is a member and an alternate and then a number of representatives of cultural organizations from around the county, including at least one from each council district. You can see the list of appointed members beginning on page 75 of the packet. And Mr. Chair, if you'd like to have people come up maybe in groups of three, since we have three chairs, they can introduce themselves and then you can take a motion on the motions. And we do have a couple of amendments. Sure. That would work for me. Does that work for all I'm saying? Nods. So will you help us facilitate? I am. Not sure. Exactly. Here is here. So I'm going to call out names of people I believe are in the audience by threes. And then if we get beyond that, there are more people here, we'll bring them. That's a lot of names because twice. So the one folks just come on, come on, come on up and we'll take the first three to fill the chairs while you introduce yourselves. Yeah. And then good idea. Then we'll have you sit back down there. We'll just do it real quick. Let me say that. Go on up there. Thank you for being here and for sitting sticking with us through those first two items. And we'll start with you. Just give us a brief introduction, your name and what you do and why you're interested in serving on the panel. Well, good afternoon. Thank you for the Opportunity County Council.

And our council member Claudia Bellotti knows very much about my involvement with arts, culture, heritage and traditions of this place.

And I am a born and raised Seattle Light from King County. I've lived and I've lived in Woodinville. Obviously, I'm currently living in Shoreline. I've lived in Woodinville. I've spent my adolescent years in Councilmember Upper Grove's district. And in addition, I've also served on one of the individual artists grants, funding panels for for culture. So have a little bit of insight on, on how that works. And I also work for Seattle Opera. So I'm, you know, in terms of my my own. My grand slam home run right. Here. So, you know, I have, you know, kind of the outlook of the larger organizations, the smaller community based organizations, and also just being a longtime resident of King County. And so looking forward to the process. Thank you so much. Going. Good afternoon. My name is Manny Cowling. I am the executive director for Youth Theater Northwest on Mercer Island. I also have called King County home for many, many years. My family has. Lived in Larry Garcia's district for. 80 years. I am the central area. Long. A year ago. My father was born over there. Yes. So my passion, of course. Is theater heritage. Performance. And community organizing around the arts. I have a rich experience in theater education. I certainly. Understand the role that small to. Midsize arts organizations play in communities throughout King County to provide valuable education and opportunities to develop 21st century skills. I also have a background in Heritage, having worked at the Wing Luke Asian Museum as their exhibit developer and manager, as well as participating in a variety of different heritage program that specifically work with communities with a special emphasis on immigrant and refugee communities. I am also a board member of Cultural Access Washington because I. Believe. That individuals and communities across King County deserve much more equitable service in arts and cultural activities. So I'm very excited to be on this task force. I've also served as a commissioner for the Seattle Center, as well as served on a variety of panels for a for Culture and Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs. And I thank you for this opportunity. You all are busy. Julianna, how are you? Hi. Good, thank you. I'm Julianna Ross. I'm a huge fan of the work of for culture, both as a regular citizen and an arts administrator. My day job is with Seattle City Light working on restoration and activation of the Georgetown Steam Plant and national historic landmark built in 1906. My other day job is an executive Taser's executive director of Sandpoint Arts and Cultural Exchange Space in Magnuson Park. There we operate the Magnuson Park Gallery and a new low power FM radio station. Space 1 to 1.1 FM space has a long history of working in partnership with the Parks Department to preserve buildings and provide arts programing in the park. This is important because not only is Northeast Seattle a cultural desert compared to the rest of Seattle, but we will also have approximately 1000 people living in Magnuson Park by the end of next year, many of them low income and immigrant families. All our services are free and open to the public. Thank you for the chance to serve on this task force. I look forward to working with people from all over the county and my fellow colleagues in District one. Thank you. All right. Are there other folks who want to introduce themselves on this item? I think we did that real expeditiously. Impressive sampling, very impressive group. Mary, lead us forward. Okay, sir, there are 27 motions. I don't know if you want to get a motion to put all of them on the floor. And then we have core amendments that maybe could be done with one vote. Let's see who would help us out with that motion. Councilmember Lambert, would you like to move motions? 334 to 360. Sure. Okay. I'm going to call them all out. So on the record is all right. I think you can just move them. 2018 334 through 360 consecutively. All right, that's what I'll do. I'd like to move. Proposed motions number 2018 033, four, two, three and 60 consecutively as listed items. Number ten, two items number 20, 36, 37. Thank you for the motion. Now, I believe Mary has identified a few spellings. So there were a couple of typographical errors in the motions as transmitted you'll have on your places of the dice. A little packet that says Amendment one. There is an amendment and a title amendment for three, three, four and three, three, six, just to correct the spelling in the appointees name. So if you want to just do one vote, I think you could do one vote on that amendment package. Thank you. All right. Would you put the amendment package before us? Councilmember Lambert, Amendment one? Yes. Thank you very much. I'd like to put amendment number one before us and it correct the names as a spoken. And also there's a title amendment later. To there's actually two amendment ones. To amendment ones to title amendment ones, therefore. All right. Three, three, four and three, three, six. All right. I have understood the motion to be to move Amendment one, two, three, three for Amendment one, two, three, three, six and the corresponding title amendment. All in favor. Say I I any oppose those carry. Now turning to the underlying motions as amended. Any comments on this. And top quality? We really appreciate your service. I'll just I'll just make a couple of remarks. Our earlier this year, there was legislation for the council to make some change. Is it for culture or cultural development authority, which has been a wonderful institution, and a number of our colleagues serve on the board there in an ex-officio capacity, I believe. And that process, which I would say was shown, showed that there was a number of interesting issues that folks thought could be explored. But we needed some help. We needed some expertize from the community to take a look at issues surrounding for culture and the county's partnership with it, and how we might be better responsive as we go forward or more responsive and not saying we're not responsive, but more responsive to needs and interests countywide. We're looking for this task force to help us address some of those issues and give us some recommendations in partnership with for culture. For culture is currently out in the community and engaged in a listening session. I know in the next week or so they've got one up in Shoreline, for example, and we are hoping that this can be a partnership with that work to come back late this year or early next year to see whether, whether and how we can continue to strengthen our tremendous cultural development authority. So and call the role on these items unless there are other comments. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Councilmember Bell, Duty Icon. Councilmember Dunn, Councilmember Gossett. I. Council member. Calls I. Council member. Member. Councilmember McDermott, councilmember of the Grove. Councilmember one right there. Mr. Chair. Hi, Mr. Chair. The vote is ADA is no nos when excused. All right, we'll expedite those items to Monday's agenda and we'll put them on consent. Council member of the Grove Tribe. If we're able to hold off consent, may just have a minor technical correction to one item. Sure. Let's begin with desert specific. Well, okay. Can we can we put them on consent and then pull it. Or not. Pull it off because it's like. Well. 36 motion. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, we've put it our consent, and if we don't figure it out by Monday. We can pull out. Okay. All right. So we'll do that. And it's a lot of signing to go on here. Thank you. Cosmo wrote The Grove for your help on that. All right, Mary. Now take us to our appointment.
