Our guest speakers for the Annual Meeting will be Mayor Joan McBride and City Manager Kurt Triplett of the City of Kirkland. They will each talk about the annexation of Kingsgate, North Juanita, and Finn Hill into the city, effective on June1st this year.

The Annual Meeting of Members for Kingsgate 3 & 4 will be Monday, February 28th, at 7PM, at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, at the corner of NE 140th St and 116th Ave NE just west of Robert Frost Elementary school.

The most important item of business at the Annual Meeting is the election of board members. There are nine positions on the board. Board members serve three-year terms. This year, board members whose three-year terms are expiring are Gerri Kirchner, Brad Poulin, and Pat Ryan. Also, a special election will be held to fill the remaining year of the unexpired term to which Michael Patterson was appointed during 2010.

Gerri Kirchner, Pat Ryan, and Michael Patterson have indicated that they would like to seek new terms on the board. Brad Poulin has announced that he will not seek re-election.
