September 1, 2016 <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />205 W 5th, Room 108 <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />Dear Commissioners, <br />SEP -B ?!i 1G <br />.,,~ 1/-;/ <br />\\U.<h '6 Prv HI · <br />I am writing to request consideration for appointment to the Kittitas County Housing Authority. <br />My application is attached and details my experience and qualifications. Since moving to Kittitas <br />County I have invested my personal time and efforts in the work of improving affordable <br />housing in the County, and I want to bring my passion and experience to the Housing Authority. <br />Prior to moving to Kittitas County I served for 8 years on the Seattle Housing Authority, 2 years <br />as chair. During that time I approved budgets and developments plans, and chaired the Audit <br />Committee. During my tenure as Board Chair I lead a comprehensive effort to create the Yesler <br />Terrace Redevelopment Plan, a multi-phased program to redevelop 560 units of aging low- <br />income public housing. My work included the zoning, entitlement, and regulatory policy <br />engagement with the Seattle City Council. Ultimately the plan spans over a decade, <br />redeveloping a 30 acre site into several thousand mixed income housing units and over a <br />million square feet of commercial space. <br />I have-enjoyed my work with you individually in our efforts here, and I hope my demonstrated <br />commitment to our County's affordable housing needs and my prior experience gives you the <br />confidence to appoint me to an available opening on the Housing Authority's Board of <br />Commissioners. Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />2409 Quartz Mountain <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />509-480-2590 <br />jlittel@hotmail.com
