At the October 16, 2024, Cultural Affairs Committee meeting, the Cultural Affairs Committee considered the application of Susie Saxe. Having met the requirements to join the board, the committee unanimously voted to recommend her appointment as second alternate to the City Council.
Susie Saxe is actively involved in the New Port Richey Theatre Scene, takes pride in advocating for the arts, and has previous community service experience as part of the Krewe of the Nautilus. She has attended three Cultural Affairs Committee meetings, and although not a resident in the City of New Port Richey, Susie Saxe works as the Richey Suncoast Theatre's Box Office Manager, which fulfills the requirement of residing or working in the City of New Port Richey.
If approved, the addition of Ms. Saxe to the Cultural Affairs Committee would fill all positions on this official City board, and her term as a second alternate position would be up for renewal on November 6, 2026.
