Background information:
Prior Arts Task Force members who met eligibility requirements were recommended for commission
appointments without interview. Candidates for the Arts & Culture Commission were interviewed
February 8, 2023 by an interview panel which included Councilmember Tina Folch, former Arts
Task Force Chair Barb Hollenbeck, City Administrator Dan Wietecha, and Assistant City
Administrator Kelly Murtaugh.
Since the Commission is new, initial commissioner appointments are to be set at either one- or two-
year terms. The interview panel recommended Hollenbeck, Read, Skeba, and McGinn for one-year
terms. Becker, Tribe, Humphrey, and McCoy were recommended for two-year terms. The
recommendations from the interview panel provide experience with and understanding of the broad
spectrum of arts and culture to help carry out the goals of the Commission.
