He starts the conversation with a list of committees.

Human services. Technology. Finance. And Valley Regional Fire Authority.

Those were among the boards on which Pacific Councilmember Tren Walker, who concluded his tenure on Tuesday, served.

It also is why mayor Leanne Guier said Walker, who was elected to Position 7 in 2005, will be difficult to replace.

“He’s going to be truly missed,” she said. “He’s been truly engaged with council. He’s sat in on just about every committee in the city. He’s done a lot of great things for the city.”

Guier said Pacific’s City Council interviewed six candidates to succeed Walker during Tuesday’s meeting. She expects the council to select a candidate when the council meets again Monday.

Walker, 40 said he would have liked to continue to serve, but he is in the process of purchasing his parents’ house in Lake Tapps, and it needs to be finished “sooner rather than later.”

“I’m really bummed that I’m moving outside town,” Walker said. “When there’s an opening on the park board, I would like to apply.”

He said his proudest accomplishments on the council include the formation of the VRFA, which he served on from its formation on Jan. 1, 2007, after the Algona, Auburn and Pacific fire departments combined, and “getting the city back onto its feet.” Walker was referring to former mayor Cy Sun’s tenure, which ended when he was recalled in June 2013.

Walker also is excited about the development of the City’s new website, which he said he believes will feature video from council meetings, among other items. He is hopeful that development will result in more community engagement.

“Once the system is in, I probably will watch them online,” Walker said.

He plans to participate in the process to select his successor and attend the meeting when that person is sworn in. Walker outlined some attributes he would like to see in that person.

“I would really like somebody who is kind of open to change,” he said. “I don’t want an argument, but I want someone who is open to debate. I would like someone to shake things up a little bit.”
