IN THE AFTERGLOW OF ADAGE'S EXIT

Chambers for the 1st meeting since the demise of ADAGE.
Public comments pertaining to Agenda items did not take
place as there were no items on the Agenda. (The open public
comment period occurred as usual at the end of the session.)

In lieu of no Agenda items, Commissioner Jack Miles suggested that
the Portside newsletter be discussed: "Why didn't it come to me for
input; where was it printed; & why was it mailed out of Albany, Oregon?"
(No answers forthcoming from Hupp, Wallitner or Dobson)

talked about being in the Narita Airport for 72 hours during
the Japanese earthquake, & mentioned the "common bonding"
that took place between everyone there. He then went on
to explain the Port's emergency response planning.

If one of them is deliberately kept out of the process of governing
the Port, then it is also the will of the voters that is being disregarded.
How do you justify that?" (No answers forthcoming)

mission of the Port changed? If so, when did that happen?
The port is a municipality, not a business like the EDC."
(It would be looked into)

ADAGE is trying to find another business to assume their role.
Would this business be able to buy into the lease agreement?"

(ADAGE & the Port of Shelton)

to terminate the lease option is up to ADAGE....As of now,
the Option to Lease Agreement is legally binding & in place."

to stop ADAGE (saying he was not convinced it was just about the
economy), the meeting was recessed at 3:00 pm for Executive Session.
Thank you, Christine, for this very Interesting article! The Port still has a lot to answer for and a number of areas that need to be closely monitored. It is also interesting how the citizens were "stonewalled" on their questions!!
ReplyDeleteYour skills as a photographer capture the essence of your subjects. It should come as no surprise then that the air-breathers are pleasing in appearance, but Al?
ReplyDeleteAl's recent experience has softened his essence. He appears to have crossed over from the dark-side to join the air-breathers.
All are welcome in the light, Al; welcome home.
Welcome home to that place where you are certain that what happens to your brother does matter to you; that place where there are no longer "them"; only "us."
