Our newly elected District 5 (that’s the district Pinehurst is in) City Council representative, Debora Juarez, will chair the Council’s Parks, Seattle Center, Libraries and Waterfront Committee. As chair, Councilmember Juarez will focus on issues relating to City parks, community centers, and public grounds, including the Seattle Center. Her committee will also manage legislation relating to the Seattle Public Library system. Councilmember Juarez will also chair the Central Waterfront committee.
She is also vice-chair of the Energy & Environment committee, a member of the Education, Equity & Governance committee, and the alternate on the Gender Equity, Safe Communities & New Americans committee.
It seems great that we have this voice on this committee. It will be interesting to see how this new District system will work out.
