Supplemental Questions
Please respond to the following questions regarding your interest in the position of appointed Councilmember for the
City of Tukwila.
Why are you interested in serving as a Tukwila City Councilmember?
I have always dreamed of serving of my community. I am interested in serving as a Tukwila City
Councilmember because I believe that the City Councilmembers matters to our city's quality of life and its
fixture. I wanted to be part of this City Councilmember because I believe that with my skills, knowledge, and
experience I can support the City of Tukwila's quality of life, and I can help the Council become more
effective in doing its job, to the benefit of all Tukwila. My experience as a Health Information Management
staff at Swedish Medical Center made it necessary for me to focus on providing quality customer service,
and also enabled me to work with all types of people. I believe that my interpretation experience with Admin
skills, partnered with my unique knowledge, would make me an asset to City of Tukwila.
Describe your background in community service, including any volunteer work you have done in or around Tukwila.
I moved to Tukwila two and half years ago. So, I am new to the city. However, I have done so much to the community
(specially the Somali Community) of Tukwila. For instance, I have worked with Evelyn Boykan and Joyce Trantina to get all
resources to educate this people. When I moved to Tukwila, I have noticed that a lot of Somali people don't even know their
own Mayer's name and also there isn't enough connection between them and the city of Tukwila. So, what I did was I took a
lot of posters from Evie and Joyce and put them the Somali restaurants, malls, grocery stores, etc. The reason why I did was
because I want this people to see what City of Tukwila can do for them and where to get the answers if they any questions. I
have also attend couple of meeting where we talked "Tukwila Community Transit needs ". This was actually kind of project
and the project was about to do survey that shows how people in Tukwila actually ride the Light rail or the bus. For this project,
I talked to the Somali Community and convince them how beneficial for them to take the light rail or the bus instead of taking
their car. I showed the important things such as how they can save time, money and how the environmental benefits of riding
the public transit. I have also worked with group named "Global to Local ". This group methods to improve individual and
community health outcomes, lower health care costs and empower economic development in two of the most diverse and
underserved communities in King County — SeaTae and Tukwila, Wash. The apartment I live now, there many elders women
live there. These women are from different countries and they were having hard time to eat healthy. So, I invited to my
apartment someone from Global to Local so that this person can educate these women how eat healthy.
im
The position of Councilmember #3 will be up for election in 2017. Are you interested in running
for this elected position? Describe why or why not.
Yes, I am interested in running for this elected position. First of all, I love city of Tukwila and I have a good
relationship to the community. Through all my careers, I have worked with healthcare industry, but now it's
time for me to serve my community and making sure that they are getting the services they're deserve to
get.
What do you think are the most important issues facing Tukwila in the next two -four years?
I can't say much about this question because I have lived in Tukwila for less than three years. However, one issue I
have noticed is that the immigrant's population is growing. I feel like the majority of these people need to be educate
many things. They need to be educate how to prevent violence within the community. We need to prevent things that
happened like in San Bernardino, CA. We need to educate these immigrants and tell them that if they see
something... they must speak up.
Please describe your understanding of the importance of regional collaboration and partnership
in city government.
According to the great supportive and helpful messages that I have in my city of Tukwila, the probability of my understanding
the importance of regional collaboration and partnership in city government will be easy and manageable for me.
As I briefly indicated in my above mentioned responses, I have well experience, skills and enough knowledge that enable me
to follow with the rules, regulations, policies, and Obviously the combination of those chances can maximize the possibility of
my understanding the importance of regional collaboration and partnership in city government. Meanwhile, there is a very
sustainable friendship, which by attaching with my fast learning ability will be also a powerful support for me.
However, basing on my solid ability of experience, skills, knowledge and the informative sources about city of Tukwila, I have
a positive confidence with having a capable qualification of my understanding the importance of regional collaboration and
partnership in city Government.

Letter of Interest
CITY Of TLJKWILA
CITY CLERK
Hello Council members. As most of you know, one of
my goals in life, has been to serve on the Tukwila City
Council. I have run three times.
I graduated from Central Washington University
1976, moved to Seattle for two years, then purchased my
house in Tukwila in 1978. It was a big renovation. As a
jewelry designer and gold caster, I commuted to
downtown Seattle five days a week. Finally, I was hired at
Associated Grocers where I ended up working in Tukwila
until retirement.
I ate at the " Tuk Inn ", shopped at " Bernie and the
Boys" and bought tomatoe plants from Teresa
Carrossino's Farm. I loved to dance at King's Restaurant,
The White Shutters, The Place ( Montana's ) and the
Riverside. I golfed at Foster Golf Course. I served on the
Tukwila Sister City Committee for about ten years and
have served on the Tukwila Arts Commission for twenty
years, helping students earn the opportunity to travel
Japan. This has really been my town. My wife has worked
at the Tukwila Community Center with local children on

�l
the "After School Program ".
Having lived two blocks below Highway 99. 1 have
witnessed prostitution. My house has been robbed and
my roomate's car broken into and trashed in front of my
house.
I am happy to see, that now, things are getting better.
The closing down of the shady hotels on TIB is an
excellent example of what can be accomplished.
My interest has always been to be a part of the
positive growth and safety of our city. I am an easy going
person, have a good attitude. I am well schooled and have
dealt with many intense situations as Shop Steward. I am
very hard working and like to get projects completed
correctly and timely as possible.
To conclude, I hope you can see my keeness and true
desire to work for our city.
Thank you,

Supplemental Questions
Please respond to the following questions regarding your interest in the position of appointed Councilmember for the
City of Tukwila.
Why are you interested in serving as a Tukwila City Councilmember?
The city will be challenged in the years to come with replacing infrastructure and trying to find common ground for
the taxes and levies to accommodate the aging tax base, while maintaining the level of services to our community and
local businesses. I feel that as a resident I can assist in the challenges ahead to add different prospective and utilize
my experience in the labor negations, labor/ management and construction management, estimating fields.
Describe your background in community service, including any volunteer work you have done in or around
Tukwila.
Volunteer at Saint Thomas Catholic Church
Volunteered Highline softball
Volunteered Foster Girls Fast Pitch
Volunteered for Habitat for Humanity
Volunteered for the Hand Up Foundation ( non- profit Organization ran by Anne Keefe wife of former Fire Chief Tom
Keefe)

Helmets to Hard Hats Program- Help ex servicemen transition into living wage jobs in trade unions primarily United
Association of Plumber and Pipefitters.

with elected officials.
Political Action Committee Local Union 32 Seattle area Plumbers and Pipefitters, promote labor friendly candidates
running for national, state, and local elections.
Volunteer at local trade shows to promote women /minorities for living wage trade jobs.
.M
The position of Councilmember #3 will be up for election in 2017. Are you interested in running for this
elected position? Describe why or why not.
I will commit to running for the council position #3 in 2017 if appointment to serve out the current term. My personal
belief is when you commit to any position that has responsibly dealing with critical discussions regarding people's lives
and standard of living you must be in for the long haul. I served as a union official for 12 years and felt that when I
left office the union was in a better position.
I applied for a position on the Regional Fire Authority Advisory Committee in February 2015 and was not chosen to be
part of the 19 member committee. Later to found out that only 3 residence had been selected, I was willing to offer
my time and experience to help provide a open and transparent recommendation.
I believe when you seek a public office you must be willing to dedicate as many hours as necessary to get the tasking
done. This is no different in organized labor politics you must always be available to your constituents.
What do you think are the most important issues facing Tukwila in the next two -four years?
Maintaining our level of service for the residence and the business community and determining what projects must be
prioritized that have been presented to the current council for either replacement and or recondition. Facilitates
Funding Plan for the aging infrastructures of buildings such as the fire stations and maintenance shops that are vital
during disasters must be a top priority. Comprehensive plan for TIB district, Regional Fire Authority Annexation must
be decided. BNSF Access Plan must be ironed out as well, Comprehensive plan policies for single family lot size and
housing types is also an issue that must be decided. The city staff must provide the council with all information related
to cost and budgets in a complete package so the council can make these difficult discussions. Budgets must be a
priority as well for all departments within the city must be reviewed with all information provided to the council at
once. Each department head must work to complete current and future budgets projections. The council has several
projects that they are currently reviewing and all have heavy cost impacts to the tax base. Some of these project and
or proposals might have to be tabled for consideration in the future.
'Tukwila the Crossroad Community to your future"
Please describe your understanding of the importance of regional collaboration and partnership in city
government.
Like all Cities Tukwila must be in partnership with our school district in areas that have impacts on our youth
Must be in partnership with our neighboring cities example Renton with the Stander Pump Station
Tukwila must maintain the inter agency fire agreement that has been in place for several years, continue to work with
FEMA and other agencies.
Continue to have a voice within Sound Transit and WSDOT as our city is bordered by several access freeways and
light rail system that is expanding.
Continue to work with all local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to help assist our community to rid the
crime in our area.
Continue to be active in Sound Cities Association for Public Issues Committee.
Continue our partnership with Valley View Sewer District.
Continue to participate in King County Metro Long Range Plan for Public Transportation
City government relies on all local, state and federal assistance, it could be by way of federal relief monies for

As stated in past council meetings I believe that the residence of Tukwila should have a broad opportunity to
bid /apply for positions within the city. Living wages jobs that have the income stay in the city and would help our
community with home sales and education for the children with new tax base.
When my wife was hired in her position permanent in 1991 we moved from Sea -Tac to Tukwila and raised our
daughter here. We bought our home in Tukwila and our daughter and her husband bought their home here and are
raising their family here. Our grandsons are going to Thorndyke Elementary. My interest is long term to ensure they
have a sound base communitv to live in as thev become adults.
Thank you for your interest in serving the Tukwila community as a member of the Tukwila City Council.
