Gary Frisch and Stephen Lundgren have been named to The Seattle Public Library’s Citizen Implementation Review Panel (CIRP), which provides citizen oversight of the “Libraries for All” building program.
Frisch is a software development manager with The Boeing Co. He has a bachelor of science degree in engineering, with an emphasis in computer science, from the University of Washington. Frisch, who is a member of the Friends of The Seattle Public Library board of trustees, lives in Queen Anne.
Lundgren provides staff support for the patient education and information center at Harborview Medical Center and is a self-employed researcher and writer. His civic and volunteer activities include work with: Ballard District Council; Ballard Civic Center Steering Committee; Friends of the Ballard Branch; Friends of Ballard Commons Park; Seattle City Neighborhoods Council; Seattle Community Council Federation; Crown Hill Ballard Neighborhood Planning Association; Sunset Hill Community Association; Alaskan Way Viaduct Seawall Washington State/Seattle Leadership Advisory Group. He lives in Ballard.
The Seattle City Council and The Seattle Public Library board of trustees established CIRP after voters passed the $196.4 million Libraries for All bond measure in 1998. The 15 CIRP members – Seattle residents from neighborhoods throughout the city – meet monthly to monitor and provide feedback on implementation of the building program. The bond money, which can be used only for construction of libraries, is funding new and improved branches and the new Central Library. Each library has a designated CIRP steward.
CIRP volunteers are appointed to staggered three-year terms by the Library Board and the City Neighborhood Council (CNC) and are confirmed by the City Council.
