Redmond Seeks Volunteer Salary Commissioners

The City of Redmond, Washington, is actively seeking applicants for seven volunteer positions on its Salary Commission, which is tasked with establishing the salaries for City Council members. This commission does not impose duties or obligations on the council positions, allowing for a focused role in determining compensation. Applicants must be residents of Redmond and must comply with applicable state and local laws governing commission activities, including adherence to City Ordinance 3166. The expected time commitment includes about two meetings each month over a three-month span, from August 1 to October 31, 2024. Candidates are strongly encouraged to undergo training related to the Open Public Meetings Act before the commission's first meeting.

While there is no formal deadline for applications, initial screenings will commence on June 11, 2024, and the final selection of commissioners will be confirmed by July 16, 2024. For further details and application instructions, residents can visit the official Redmond website. This initiative demonstrates the city’s commitment to transparency and community involvement in local governance.
