DJ Wilson's WIPE OUT



Will Yost Pool open this summer?

NO, the Pool will not open according to Council President D.J. Wilson.








1. Council President Wilson told the Levy Committee the Mayor's Program Budget Cuts will not be considered or changed by the group of citizens.

2. At the March 24th, Council Meeting Council President Wilson introduced the Mayor and the Agenda Item on the Budget Cuts. In his introduction, Wilson clearly stated the decision was made and Yost Pool would not be opened this year.

3. Now on the King 5 Evening News, Council President Wilson has raised the bar for a citizens group made up of Pool users in their Herculean effort to raise private donations. The Mayor advised the pool group, the city would need $30,000. Wilson has notified a new extraordinary figure of $120,000 needed to open Yost Pool.


Council President Wilson is talking out of both sides of this mouth and at the same time thwarting the public initiative to keep Yost Pool open for our citizens. As citizens, we can be appreciative of the rest of the Edmonds City Council for not seconding Council President Wilson's motion of his Council Resolution supporting the Mayor's Program Cuts that forget the past and give up on the future of our fine community.

The Edmonds City Council Again Violates the Open Public Meetings Act.

Edmonds City Council First Executive Session of May 26th 2020 The City Council may meet in executive (closed) session but only for one of the reasons specified in and in accordance with procedures identified in RCW 42.30.110. A personnel matter including a separation agreement is not specifically identified in RCW 42.30.110(1) and therefore is not a legally sufficient reason to meet in closed executive session. The Council discussed the Finance Director Scott James, Separation Agreement in the closed executive session under the guise of potential litigation. When in fact, any potential litigation ceased to exist on May 25 th , 2020, and the seven days from the date Mr. James signed the Separation Agreement, May 18 th , 2020, thus waiving all of his rights to pursue any civil action against the City of Edmonds. On May 26 th , 2020 during agenda item (4) Council President Adrienne Fraley-Monillas moved to add an Executive Session regarding “potential litigation” per RCW 42.30.1

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.
