Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Richard McIver served 13 years on the Seattle City Council. He was appointed on January 27, 1997, by a vote of the City Council, to fill the seat vacated by John Manning who resigned after pleading guilty to domestic violence charges. McIver was to serve until the next scheduled election when candidates would run to fill out the final two years of Manning’s term. However, McIver chose to run for the seat being vacated by Cheryl Chow who was stepping down after serving two terms on Council.

McIver was elected to a full term at the November 1997 election and subsequently was reelected for two more terms. Although his 1997 election was a landslide victory, he faced stiff opposition in 2001 and 2005. In the former election he faced Grant Cogswell, the mercurial Monorail advocate. McIver won with just under 55 percent of the vote, an unusually narrow margin for a sitting Council member. In 2005, his opponent was State Democratic Party leader Dwight Pelz; this time McIver received 53.5 percent of the vote.

McIver, born in 1941, was a native of Seattle. He graduated from Garfield High School and attended Fairhaven College at Western Washington University where he received an interdisciplinary Bachelor’s degree in Community Development, including majors in Urban Planning and Finance. After college McIver served 16 years with the City of Seattle in the Office of Urban Renewal and the Department of Community Development. Following his tenure with the City, he worked in a variety of planning and community development organizations. Among those was the Washington DC consulting firm A.L. Nellum and Associates where he administered HUD-funded efforts related to economic development in 21 communities around the country. He also served a stint as development director for the Tacoma Housing Authority, and just before his appointment to City Council, McIver was the Executive Director of the Washington Association for Community Economic Development, a state-wide association committed to the revitalization of disadvantaged communities.

While serving on City Council, McIver chaired four committees, all of which covered areas of expertise that he had developed over a long career of public service. He chaired the Transportation Committee (1997-2001); Housing, Human Services and Community Development (2002-2003); Finance and Budget (2004-2007); and Housing and Community Development (2008-2009).

McIver was a powerful advocate for disadvantaged communities and underdeveloped neighborhoods. He was also an outspoken advocate for the City’s Race and Social Justice Initiative, which was created to combat institutional racism. He was fiscally conservative when it came to the City’s budget. As chair of the Budget Committee, he asked critical and sometimes acerbic questions about agency budget items.

McIver’s final term in office was beset with some personal problems and health issues that undoubtedly played a role in his decision not to run for another term.

After McIver left City Council, he became the executive director of the Rainier Valley Community Development Fund, an organization he helped establish in 2006. The Fund provides loans to small businesses and real estate developers in the Rainier Valley.

McIver’s health deteriorated in 2012 following a stroke and he died on March 9, 2013.

Duplicate files and non-record material were deleted. Spider2008 PII Scan and DtSearch were used to screen for personal and sensitive information. DROID was used to identify file formats, extract metadata, and facilitate processing decisions. ReNamer was used to remove and log problematic characters from file names.

12.0 cubic feet

3,430 digital files, (244 mb)

Correspondence, memoranda, reports, studies, and other materials reflecting McIver’s interests and work on City Council, especially issues that came before the committees he chaired and those on which he served. Although the records touch on all issues that came before the Council during his tenure, the largest grouping of records relate to transportation issues, housing and neighborhood development, fair extension of social services, police accountability, and race and social justice concerns.

Among the major transportation and traffic issues addressed during McIver’s years on Council were the development and construction of light rail, revitalization of the Magnolia Bridge, discussion of the Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement, implementation of pedestrian safety strategies, building a new SR 520 bridge, and the approval, planning, and ultimate rejection of the Monorail alternative to light rail.

Much of the neighborhood development material relates to south Seattle, especially Duwamish, Rainier Valley, southeast Seattle, and the Central District. The records reflect the City’s concerns over gentrification, affordable housing, gang and youth violence, and economic development. Education and social service issues in the records affect those neighborhoods, but are also City-wide. These include the Families and Education Levy, homelessness, the need for affordable child care, and domestic violence prevention. There are also materials related to equity for women and minorities in contracting and doing business with the City.

Beyond the public safety concerns already noted, McIver’s records illustrate his strong views on police accountability. Subjects covered include the Police Firearms Review Board, Office of Professional Accountability, the OPA Review Board, and issues around racial profiling.

Several files deal with the appointment and confirmation process for department heads, including the failed reappointment of Gary Zarker as superintendent of City Light. Also included are files related to a 2008 ethics investigation of McIver.
