Residents thank council for Egg painting funding, raise Community Building and Farm Board concerns
Summary
During public comment, residents thanked the council for funding the Egg painting, raised concerns about Community Building basement showers and a vacant apartment, inquired about Farm Board Ordinance 1185, and reminded the council that aerial fireworks sales are prohibited under Washington State law.
Several residents used the public comment period to address the council. K. Chastain "thanked city council for approving funding to support the painting of the Egg in recognition of America's 250th Anniversary" and urged attention to condition issues at the Community Building, including basement showers and a vacant apartment that may need improvements.
D. Dwelly asked about the status of Ordinance 1185 establishing a Farm Board and was told the ordinance had been advertised but there was no interest following passage. Dwelly also noted that "the sale of aerial fireworks is prohibited under Washington State Law." M. Lowry praised Water/Sewer Superintendent Rodney Cecil for prior remarks supporting a new hire; S. Vogel registered to speak but declined to do so.
Council did not take immediate action on the public requests; Public Works was asked to evaluate the blackberry vine encroachment behind WMES raised by Councilwoman Curtis earlier in the meeting.
