Renton Seeks Candidate to Fill Park Commission Vacancy

The City invites Renton residents, who have an interest in parks and government, to apply for a vacant seat on the Park Commission.

The current Commission will review the applications and recommend a candidate to the Mayor. The City Council will confirm the appointment later this year.

Each full-term is a four-year commitment; however, this position will expire in 2013 because it will fill a vacancy.

The seven-members serve on a volunteer basis, must live inside Renton city limits, and must be available for meetings on the second Tuesday of each month at 4:30 p.m. 

The Park Commission acts as an advisory board to the Mayor and City Council regarding the operation of parks and recreational programs and activities. 

To apply for membership, download an application from the Boards and Commissions webpage at rentonwa.gov, or call 425-430-6604 for a hardcopy application. The applications may be mailed to The City of Renton, Mayor’s Office, 1055 S. Grady Way, Renton, WA  98057. 

The City will conduct interviews in March. All remaining applications will be kept on file for one year. For more information, contact Sandy Pilat at 425-430-6604, or spilat@rentonwa.gov.
