Sally Clark will be at the February 1st meeting of the East District Council, to be held at the Capitol Hill library, from 6:30 to 8 PM. Sally’s Council responsibilities include:
- Chair of the Built Environment; and Waterfront Planning Committee
- Vice-Chair of the Housing, Human Services, Health, & Culture Committee
- Member of the Public Safety & Education; and Labor Policy Committee,
so there’s lots you can quiz her about.
The meeting will also include election of District Council Officers, and information on the hiring of a replacement for longtime Neighborhood Service Center Coordinator José Cervantes, who is retiring.
District Councils are part of the City Neighborhood Council system, Seattle’s desired way of exchanging information with its citizens. The City Neighborhood Council has (IMHO) stagnated somewhat of late, but is showing signs of renewed vigor. Given all the changes coming to Capitol Hill, I would urge you to support our District Council and to help it present our needs strongly and clearly to the City. Running for office would be a great way to do that: contact José to get on the ballot: (206) 684-4574 or [email protected]
(Yes, I was sort of resigned to running for the District Council chair but, as you may know, family commitments preclude that. Andrew)
Very sweet pic, but, where are the younger people?
OUTREACH needed.
Glad to hear you are not retiring Andrew, and that you are still around on the Hill.
You mean younger people need to step up and proactively get involved. Younger people shouldn’t wait to be engaged.
I contacted the Chair of the Capitol Hill Community Council and invited them to participate. Ann Donovan, the former chair of the Community Council was very active in the District Council and still has the gorgeous black hair that she did then.
I’ve advertised District Council meetings on this blog in the past:

Not OUTREACHy enough for you? I’m all in favor of making people aware of meetings but not of dragging them kicking and screaming to a meeting. (This philosophy has garnered complaints of racism in the past).

Now this is the same Sally Clark that supported one notorious woman who called the police 100 times to complain about Neighbours Nightclub?
