2 locals join Tacoma Area Commission on Disabilities, Tacoma Arts Commission Two local residents recently joined two City of Tacoma commissions. First, one local resident was appointed to the Tacoma Area Commission on Disabilities. The 11-member panel consists of volunteers from Tacoma and Pierce County with a variety of experiences and expertise that advises Tacoma City Council in policy making, and partners with the community to bring awareness of issues that affect individuals with disabilities. In addition, commission members participate on committees, help educate the public about disability issues, and serve as a resource for City staff. During a public meeting on Tues., April 14, at Tacoma City Hall, Tacoma City Council approved a resolution appointing Sheryl Ellis to the Tacoma Area Commission on Disabilities to serve a term that will expire on Aug. 31, 2017. Second, one local resident was appointed to the Tacoma Arts Commission. The 15-member panel is appointed by Tacoma City Council's Economic Development Committee and confirmed by Tacoma City Council to serve three-year terms. Members are Tacoma residents who are arts advocates and artists. Providing leadership in supporting and enhancing the arts for the benefit of Tacoma and its residents, the primary responsibility of the Tacoma Arts Commission is to create policies supporting the ongoing development of arts programs and projects in Tacoma. Its primary programs include the funding of artists and arts organizations to provide services for the residents of Tacoma, Tacoma Arts Month, and oversight of public art as part of the Municipal Art Program. The City of Tacoma issued a call for applicants earlier this year (see "City seeks applicants for Tacoma Arts Commission," Tacoma Daily Index, Feb. 23, 2015). Tacoma City Council's Economic Development Committee interviewed candidates during a public meeting in March, and forwarded its recommendation for appointment to the full council. During a public meeting on Tues., April 14, at Tacoma City Hall, Tacoma City Council approved a resolution appointing Halley Knigge to the Tacoma Arts Commission to serve a term that will expire on Dec. 31, 2015, followed by a three-year term to expire on Dec. 31, 2018.

Construction continues on Bates Tech's $23M Advanced Technology Center

Posted online Thurs., April 23 Photo (ABOVE) By Todd Matthews, Editor / Design Illustration (BELOW) Courtesy Bates Technical College Construction continues on the new $23 million Advanced Technology Center at Bates Technical College in Tacoma. Officials broke ground on the two-story, 53,000-square-foot building, located at 2320 S. 19th St., a year ago in March (see "Bates Technical College breaks ground on $23M Advanced Technology Center," Tacoma Daily Index, March 27, 2014; and "Bates Technical College to break ground on Advanced Technology Center," Tacoma Daily Index, March 14, 2014). When completed later this year, the facility will

include meeting spaces for events, trade shows, and conferences, as well as a large studio lab that officials say will serve as an iconic element the public will be able to view from South 19th Street. The building was designed by McGranahan Architects to meet silver certification standards from the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. The Advanced Technology Center is being built on the college's Central/Mohler Campus, which is also home to KBTC Public Television and Pierce County Television.
