COMMUNITY KIOSKS TASK FORCE CREATED

       Legislation creating a Community Kiosks Task Force , co-sponsored by
Richard Conlin and me, passed unanimously by the Council last week. The task
force will advise the Mayor and Council on policy and funding options for
providing public kiosks in Seattle neighborhoods.

        The Task Force will be comprised of fifteen people who represent
neighborhood groups, art and music groups, small businesses Chambers of
Commerce, City Departments, Metro, the design profession, and kiosk
consultants.

        Task force will provide the City with recommendations, including
possible funding strategies and/or pilot projects, and public/private
models.  To meet this goal, the task force is being asked to review the
legal issues involved, coordinate community input, analyze costs and
potential revenue sources, and develop policy options and implementation
strategies.  Members of the task force will attend monthly meetings for
six months.

        Those interested in being considered for the Community Kiosks Task
Force wanting to serve on the task force to the Seattle City Council,
11th Floor Municipal Building, 600 Fourth Ave, Seattle, 98104-1876,
Attention: Sheila Capestany by August 3rd.  Applications may also be
submitted via email to: sheila.capestany at ci.seattle.wa.us.
