11 candidates apply to serve on Tacoma Arts Commission
By Todd Matthews, Editor Eleven candidates have applied to fill four positions on the City of Tacoma Arts Commission. The commission consists of fifteen Tacoma residents who volunteer to serve as arts advocates and provide leadership in supporting and enhancing the arts for the benefit of Tacoma and its residents. The commission's primary responsibility is to create policies to support the ongoing development of arts programs and projects in Tacoma, such as the funding of artists and arts organizations to provide services for the Tacoma residents, Tacoma Arts Month, and oversight of public art as part of the City of Tacoma's Municipal Art Program. Commission members are appointed by Tacoma City Council's Economic Development Committee and confirmed by Tacoma City Council. In September, the City of Tacoma issued a call for applicants to fill three at-large positions, and one position representing Tacoma public education (see "City of Tacoma: Applicants needed to fill 6 positions on 3 citizen panels," Tacoma Daily Index, Sept. 15, 2014). The deadline for applications expired on Fri., Oct. 10. Individuals who applied to serve on the Tacoma Arts Commission include Kathy Anderson, Heather Conklin, Kareem Kandi, Laura Marshall, Kathryn Pascall, Maria Pascualy, Ellen Peters, Hillary Ryan, Wanda Thompson (seeking re-appointment), LaQuita Thurman, and Lynn Wilmot-Stenehjem. Tacoma City Council's Economic Development Committee is scheduled to interview the candidates during a public meeting on Tues., Oct. 28, at 9:30 a.m., at the Tacoma Municipal Building, 747 Market Street, Room 248, in downtown Tacoma. A copy of the agenda is available online at tacomadailyindex.com. The committee is expected to forward its recommendations for appointments to the full city council for final confirmation later this year.

Broken water main impacts 12 Tacoma tide flats businesses
Posted online Weds., Oct. 22 Photos Courtesy Tacoma Public Utilities A dozen businesses near the Port of Tacoma tide flats area were without water this week after a water main broke, according to Tacoma Public Utilities (TPU) officials. The incident occurred at approximately 8:45 p.m. on Tuesday when a plug connecting one pipe to the water main failed, allowing water to pour from the pipe at very high pressure. Service was restored just past midnight on Thursday. Tacoma Water customers who were without service and also received a notice on their door
were instructed to boil their water, according to TPU officials. TPU anticipates the boil water notice will remain in place for approximately 18 to 24 hours after service is restored. If other customers have dirty water, they should run it until it's clear. There are no health concerns with the water outside of the boil water notice area, according to TPU officials, and sediment in the pipes sometimes gets stirred up when events like this take place. TPU customers should call (253) 502-8384 to report dirty water. More information is available online at mytpu.org.
