LETTER TO WILL CHEN

  Mr. Chen you are a Certified Public Accountant. Every few years you must take Continuing Education Courses. Some of those Courses include ethics training. Simple question, would you ever violate those ethical principles and jeopardize your license?   Let me answer that question for you, of course not. If you are elected to Edmonds City Council, who will you represent?   Will you represent the citizens of Edmonds or instead represent the interests of the Mayor, City Employees and their consultants. The following is an one example; The Lighthouse Law Group, PLLC contract provides the following: Payment for Services . a. The Except as provided in Section 3.b, below, the City will pay LIGHTHOUSE for the services specified in the sum of $47,96449,883 a month (the flat fee). This amount may be adjusted in future years with the mutual consent of the parties. Any request for increase in the flat fee shall be submitted by September 1 of any year for consideration in the bu...

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.

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...

Edmonds City Attorney Edmonds Code 2.05

Somebody other than City Attorney Taraday should review the proposed Council Rules of Procedures and update to the Council Code of Conduct: Chapter 2.05 of the Edmonds City Code can be printed out on  1 piece of paper using a normal sized font .   I would expect all City Attorney candidates to read and comply with Chapter 2.05.  I would hope City Attorney candidates would make sure their proposals are consistent with the City’s laws and ordinances. I would hope all elected officials would require such. If City Attorneys don’t comply with the Code Section that specifically deals with them, why have confidence that they will comply with any part of the ECC or ECDC? I would expect City Attorney candidates to ask for clarity regarding ECC 2.05.020.B.3 which incredibly states the following: Attend all regular and work meetings of the planning advisory board of the city of Edmonds as requested. Obviously either the word “all” needs to be removed or the word...
