Kent City Council Meeting
July 8, 2008
A special meeting of the Kent City Council was called to order at 5:30 p.m.
by Council President Raplee. Councilmembers present: Albertson, Clark,
Harmon, Ranniger and Thomas.
Council President Raplee explained that the purpose of this meeting is to fill
the Council position left vacant by the passing of Bob O'Brien. She noted
that each of the candidates will have an opportunity to tell the Council a bit
about themselves and why they would like to be a Council member, and will
then be asked the same three questions: 1) what do you believe is the
fundamental role of government in relation to the citizens, 2) what do you
see as the most significant needs of the city, and 3) what do you believe is
your most significant contribution to Council and the citizens of Kent.
The following candidates were then interviewed: Dana Ralph, Jamie
Danielson, Nicole Byzinker, Jon Johnson, Dennis Higgins, Michael Sealfon,
and Rashmee Sharma.
The Council recessed to Executive Session to deliberate at 7:20 p.m. and
reconvened at 8:20 p.m.
Raplee then moved to appoint Jamie Danielson to fill vacant Council Position
No. 2, effective upon taking the Oath of Office scheduled for July 15, 2008.
Harmon seconded. After comments from various Councilmembers on the
excellent applicant pool, the motion carried.
The meeting adjourned at 8:22 p.m.

City Clerk
