Interview of Diversity Commission Appointee Anabel Hovig (15 min.)
Staff Lead: Patrick Doherty
Department: Community Services
Preparer: Patrick Doherty
Background/History
The nine Edmonds Diversity Commission members were originally appointed on October 27, 2015 for
staggered 1-, 2- and 3-year terms. As of 6/7/17 Position 6 became available for the remainder of a term
that runs until December 31, 2017 upon the resignation of Commissioner Mario Brown. The recent,
previous opening of Position 7 was advertised via local media, and previous applicants were also
notified. Six new applications were received and two applicants from previous recruitments wished to
continue to be considered. Three applicants were interviewed by the Commission at a special meeting
on May 31, 2017. One applicant, Sarah Mixson, was appointed to Position 7 and confirmed by City
Council on 6/13/17. Pursuant to ECC 10.65.020(B), new appointments to the Diversity Commission shall
be made by the seated Commissioners, subject to confirmation by the City Council. In addition, pursuant
to recently approved amendments to Chapter 10.65, the Diversity Commission is allowed to appoint
from a pool of applicants/interviewees within the previous three months to fill a new position opening.

Interview Diversity Commission appointee Anabel Hovig to Position 6 of the Edmonds Diversity
Commission for the remainder of a term scheduled to expire 12/31/17 and forward to the 6/27/17
Regular Council Meeting Consent Agenda for approval.
Narrative
Of the applications received by the City for consideration in the past three months, three applicants
were interviewed by the Diversity Commissioners on 5/31/17: Sarah Mixson, Anabel Hovig, and Kelsey
