Council authorizes mayor to send letter supporting Pucker Huddle Coalition SR‑141 speed request
Summary
Council reached consensus to authorize Mayor Marla Keethler to prepare and send a non‑binding letter of support for the Pucker Huddle Coalition’s request to reduce speeds on State Route 141; staff noted the letter is non‑binding and warned about OPMA issues if a quorum edits the letter post‑meeting.
The council agreed by consensus on May 20 to authorize Mayor Marla Keethler to prepare and send a City letter of support for the Pucker Huddle Coalition’s request to reduce speed limits on State Route 141 ahead of the coalition’s June 1 presentation to WSDOT. Staff advised the group that the letter would be non‑binding, that the council commonly uses resolutions to formalize positions, and that post‑meeting edits by a quorum could raise Open Public Meetings Act concerns.
Councilmember Morella Mora offered to provide delivery information so the letter could be sent before the June 1 deadline. No formal motion was made; Council instead reached consensus and gave the mayor editorial discretion to finalize the letter.
