Unidentified caller at La Center meeting objects to growth and raises meeting-notice and wildlife concerns
Summary
An unnamed caller during public comment at the June 10 La Center Planning Commission meeting said the meeting was not properly advertised, objected to development and said eagles had been removed from city documents; the caller asked that growth stop and criticized meeting notice procedures.
An unidentified caller who participated by phone during the La Center Planning Commission meeting on June 10 used the public-comment period to object to further growth in the area and to criticize how the meeting had been publicized.
The caller said they had received the phone access number shortly before the meeting and that the meeting was not posted on the city reader board. "This meeting was not advertised. It wasn't on the reader board," the caller said, adding they had learned the phone number at about 2:03 p.m. the day of the meeting. The caller also expressed concern about traffic and development near a local bridge and asserted that eagles had been removed from local protections "in small print" though no ordinance or policy citation was provided during the comment.
The caller identified themselves as opposed to any additional development, saying, "We stop. Clark County, make history. Short and sweet, you guys. We're not gonna look go across this bridal. It's gonna be trafficked to death and look up and see condos." The caller spoke near the end of the public-comment period and said the meeting's short-notice posting limited community participation.
No city staff or commission response to the caller's assertions is recorded in the transcript, and no formal action was taken in response to the remarks during the meeting.
