Dear Ms. Montgomery and Ms. Monrad: 
According to the Short Fill Redevelopment Agreement as amended 1998, which established the
Neighbors' Advisory Committee, the Port of Seattle is required to provide a Chairperson who is
neither a resident of Magnolia or Queen Anne nor an employee of the Port of Seattle. This is
managed through a service contract with 501 Commons who seeks out highly qualified
individuals to fill this role. 
In April of this year, John Kriese, the current Chair, stepped down from the position after five
years of service. We would like to offer Mr. Bill Winkelman as a candidate to serve next in the
role. NAC members have had an opportunity to meet him and consider his qualifications for the
position. The Committee was in agreement and satisfied that he could perform the Chair's duties. 
Please accept this letter as the Port of Seattle Commission's action to nominate Mr. Bill
Winkelman as Chair for the Neighbors Advisory Committee. A copy of Mr. Winkelman's resume
is attached. 
Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely, 

Tom Albro 
President 
Port of Seattle Commission
