Exhibit A
4. Why are you interested in serving on the Public Facilities District Board?
The Town Toyota Center (TTC) is an important asset to the Wenatchee Valley and has a
significant economic impact on our region. As a mayor of one of the nine jurisdictions that
benefit from the TTC success, I understand the importance of serving on the Public Facility
District (PFD) Board and representing the citizens of East Wenatchee.
I am motivated for the PFD to meet its financial obligation and successfully pay off the issued
bonds and reduce the sales tax to our citizens. I have been a PFD Board member since 2020 and
in that time, the Board has made significant strides in accomplishing that goal. In 2021, the PFD
Board issued bonds to reduce the total debt service payments over the next 20 years by $13 M.
The Board is committed to continuous evaluation of the opportunity for early payment on the
bonds and will soon be meeting with financial advisors and attorneys on the progress of the
PFD's ability to meet our goal.
As a member on the PFD Board, we've made investments to keep the TTC relevant and
competitive. This can be a difficult task as we evaluate the return on investments and prioritize
facility needs. A deep understanding of community interests and financial capacity is important
for making critical decisions for the TTC. As a very active and engaged community member on
various boards, I have a unique understanding of community needs and data that can help drive
important decisions on investments at the TTC.
Beyond the commitment to pay off the bonds, the Board is tasked with making sure the TTC
operates a quality and profitable multi-purpose arena. The economic impact the TTC has on the
community is impressive, bringing in over $3.8M from outside our community annually.
The TTC also strives to be a facility that serves our region through cultural programs and
meaningful events that give back to our citizens such as graduation programs, corporate events,
youth programs, and public meeting space for local organizations. I have shown over the course
of my career at the Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce and through civic service that a
core value of mine is for community members to feel connected and have a strong sense of
belonging. The TTC is just one area that those opportunities exist.
My skills and experience in other government and non-profit board positions as well as previous
work experience makes me a great representative to continue on the PFD board and evaluate
critical services, programs, and management to make the facility successful and relevant to
visitors and our community members.
