Pro Tem Chair Robertson called the meeting to order at 1:10 p.m. Welcome and Introductions – Pro Tem Robertson asked for everyone to give a quick introduction. He also noted that the committee was currently lacking a quorum and that we were hoping to get one more member to attend, thus action items would be delayed until later in the meeting. Branding Update and 2018 City Branding and Marketing Work – Mr. Miles went through the adopted brand that was completed in 2017 and thank the committee members for their time and effort on it. He reviewed the final mark and also the Tukwila Brand Story. Afterwards he walked through some ideas for 2018 that staff was hoping to work, such as on several events and to start looking at wayfinding and signage in the City. There was discussion on the cost of the wayfinding signage. Mr. Miles stated that the first step would be to do a basic assessment of the needs and acknowledged that signage could be expensive. However, a final plan would allow us to do this piecemeal and looking for other funding. 1:30 p.m. Miesa Berry arrived, thus the committee now had quorum.
