My Questions to Mayor Nelson - No Response.


2/11/2020 City Contracts and Agreements


Whose responsibility is it to ensure all city contracts and agreements are followed and current?


Is it the City Clerk or the City Attorney or is it the Mayor that tracks the expiration dates of city contracts and agreements?


2/14/2020 Open Public Meeting Act Training Ord. 4172


Please provide me the City or State law that allows you to sign Ordinance No. 4172 as approved rather than former Mayor Earling.  


Can somebody other than the Mayor on the date the City Council voted approve an Ordinance, especially a Councilmember such as yourself who voted on the Ordinance? 


 If so, could you have also vetoed the very Ordinance which you voted for on November 19, 2019?  

Can a member of the legislative branch of government both vote for and sign an ordinance? 


 Is that proper separation of authority between the legislative body and the Mayor's office?


Assuming you were provided individual notice, did it indicate the expected date of publication would be late January, 2020?

  If so, did you ask the City Attorney which Mayor was going to sign Ordinance No. 4172? 
Who scratched out David O. Earling's name on Ordinance No. 4172 and typed in your name? 
  

Did the Office of the City Attorney approve this as to form before or after David O. Earling's name was scratched out? 
Has the City Clerk violated ECC 1.03 and therefore subject to prosecution and penalties?

2/15/20 Open Public Meeting Act Training Ord. 4172
When the ministerial mistakes were discovered did you and the City Clerk consult with City Attorney? 


Did you and the City Clerk reference the Edmonds City Code 1.03? 


4/30/20 Edmonds Food Bank Truck


Please explain why your staff didn’t provide me a copy of the check and warrant for the following on 4/27/20. 


Is there really a Mayor Nelson or is it a figment of my imagination?

EMAIL TO COUNCIL PRESIDENT

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
