IV. ADMINISTRATION PART I

A. Chair's Report

Chair Felt provided a recap of the many accomplishments of the Board in 2022.  Highlights of that summary included: Lenora Blauman’s retirement and retirement celebration, the hiring and onboarding of Shelby Miklethun, the sad passing of Van Anderson, informative guest speakers at meetings, eight NOIs, multiple meetings and large projects for several committees, the WSABRB Conference and Cheryl Scheuerman joining the Board.

Chair Felt also reported that the State Legislature will have hybrid committee meetings in the upcoming session.

V. NEW MEMBER

Acting Nominating Committee Chair Jay Hamlin introduced Cheryl Scheuerman and led the Board in welcoming her.  Ms. Scheuerman shared her excitement in joining the Board and recapped some of her professional experience working with the Board in her prior roles before her retirement.  Ms. Scheuerman then recited the Board’s Oath of Office.* 

VI. 2023 MEETING STRUCTURE DISCUSSION 

Ms. Miklethun shared written information regarding meeting structure options that the members could consider for when the King County Executive rescinds his COVID-19 emergency order.  She then reported that it was her understanding that such an action would likely not happen until after the winter respiratory illness season was over.  The members discussed several options such as meetings at rotating fire stations.

VII. 2023 COMMITTEE MEMBER DISCUSSION
