Your ballot is coming!

BOO!
With Halloween fast approaching, the word spooky comes to mind. These are genuinely spooky times.

Two frightening proposals are before the City of Edmonds, the sale of our Fire Department to Fire District 1 and a Contract Rezone to allow for 75 ft tall buildings on our waterfront. Prior to completing the public hearing process, Edmonds City Councilman Strom Peterson has publicly endorsed the sale of our fire department and the give away of $700,000 to $1.4 Million taxpayer dollars yearly to Fire District without contract credit. Despite his claims to the contrary, Strom Peterson favors taller buildings in the downtown, a well-documented fact in City Council and Planning Board Meeting Minutes.

Come November the citizens of Edmonds can put these scary thoughts behind us by electing Diane Buckshnis to the Edmonds City Council. Diane will bring financial experience to the Council. Unlike her opponent, Diane will not only listen to, but will welcome citizen comment and participation.

Please join her many supporters and me by voting for Diane Buckshnis - Edmonds City Council. Let us make this Primary winner the General Election winner!

Dear D.J., If you get a chance, I would appreciate your sharing the attached PowerPoint with the Citizens Committee. This information provides evidence, beyond any reasonable doubt, that the City of Edmonds has been providing Fire and Emergency Medical Services for less than the cost of service to the unincorporated Esperance and Fire District No. 1. I'm hoping the group will truly look to Budget before focusing on just the taxpayer's pocketbook. The question I ask you; Is the newly created EMS Transport fee required for the subsidization of the two interlocal agreements with Esperance and Woodway ? The council, mayor and staff have not done proper due diligence of the current and passed city financial decisions to start requesting more and new taxes from the citizens. Fire District No. 1 collects tax revenue 1 million City of Edmonds charges 300,000 for service. City of Edmonds makes annual payment for Station No. 10 to Fire District No. 1 65,000. City of Ed

Lighthouse Law Group's inferior legal representation

 Email to Jeff Taraday  PROVIDED FOR THE RECORD:   In Washington State there can be only one open public hearing.   The Hearing Examiner had 10 working days to make a decision. Any extension of that time requirement requires agreement from the applicant and the parties. Uniquely, the Edmonds City Code requires agreement from all parties. I testified at the hearing and was not asked to participate in this extension or provide any further testimony. In fact, my participation has been excluded because of the one open meeting. If there have been communications between the Hearing Examiner and the Applicant those communication would  be ex parte and needed to be provided to me.    Mr. Clugston testified that traditionally the Planning Staff posts the Agenda and Staff report at the Civic Center and Library. Then he stated that ECC 1.03.09 didn’t apply that was for City Council hearings. He stated the Agenda was posted on the City’s website 7 or 6 days prior to hearing. The City C
