Port Special Meeting Tuesday 6/14, 2:00 PM


COME, WATCH & WONDER

Submitted to Shelton Blog by Tom Davis

The Port of Shelton is holding another one of their now infamous special meetings on Tuesday, June 14th, at 2:00 PM.


The purpose of this meeting is to discuss and evaluate an employee complaint, under RCW 42.30.110 (f). This is just a new twist in the Port’s ongoing efforts to keep public comments from getting into the official record until after action has been taken on an agenda item.

The Port has long embarked on such shenanigans to circumvent public input, starting with discontinuing the workshops, cryptic announcements of agenda items, and now special meetings, which allow no period for public comment. Any reasonable person who has taken the time to observe Port behavior can come to only one conclusion: the Port desires to operate in an atmosphere of secrecy, with as little transparency as is legally possible.

In my opinion, two Port of Shelton Commissioners and the Executive Director have abused their authority as stewards of the Port responsible to the people of this community. Come, watch and wonder how it is this governing body has been allowed to operate in such a contemptuous manner.
