COMMISSIONER POS. NO. 01, 4 YR TERM /Exp.:06

Scott J. Lumsden /NP /

Resident of the metropolitan Seattle area for 36 years and the Denny Park neighborhood for 17 years. My family and I take regular walks through and enjoy the park and nearby trails. During this time, I have become involved in several local activities promoting the general welfare of our neighbors and ourselves, including planting/restoration events in the park, the salmon recovery project in Denny Creek as well as promotion and participation in Community Pride Day summer celebration. My professional background is in finance and economics.

Richard D. Smith /NP /

Personal: Married, with teen-age daughter. Sixteen year resident, Finn Hill/Holmes Pt. Dr. area.

Recently retired after 20+ year career in aerospace engineering and program management. Member, initiative steering committee. Recently King County budget constraints have prevented maintenance of O.O. Denny Park to the minimum standard I believe is required for a heavily used suburban park. Creation of the park and recreation district will provide funding for a maintenance level consistent with past years, and with the standard I believe this jewel of a park deserves. As commissioner, I will put a priority on efficient use of tax funds to ensure adequate park maintenance within the budget constraints of the levy. I will welcome input from district residents and park users, and strive to keep commission decisions and actions open and fair.
