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!

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. 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
