The 67-year-old Janson said he would bring experience and willingness to serve to the Planning Commission.

A financial accountant, Terry DePolo says he's team-oriented, having worked on quality improvement groups at Boeing. During interviews, DePolo said he envisioned Woodinville becoming like an Edmonds, citing the soundward city's "well-thought-out streets," trees, and managed growth. DePolo said among the key issues for Woodinville would be managing growth.
Originally from Richmond Beach, DePolo said he became interested in serving on the commission after seeing the post advertised in the Woodinville Weekly. He and his wife and three children live in the Wellington Hillsarea.
"The two people we picked will give us a good balance," said Mayor Bob Miller. "They will give us a different perspective and it will really help Woodinville."
Janson and DePolo will be formally introduced to the City Council at the June 23 meeting.
Planning Director Ray Sturtz said he has asked Tom Reko and James Pierce, who also applied to the commission, to serve on the Citizens Advisory Panel looking at the downtown master plan and economic strategy plan.
