Did YOU find it?

Congratulations to Mayor Guernsey with her puzzling letter in the January 20th Gateway.
  It is comforting to know the Mayor and City Council are trying for open communication.

EXCEPT…..OOPSY!

Search as I might it was not possible to find the part in her letter about “secret meetings”.

Nope, I couldn’t find it,
 Did you find it? 
 Did anyone find it?


     The Mayor did not mention these “secret meetings” are taking place.  The mayor did not deny the “secret meetings” or state their purpose.
     Citizens for the Preservation of Gig Harbor will make sure you hear about the purpose of these “secret meetings” this weekend.

 

With all this so called open communication from the city, surely you know about
the Public Hearing?

In case you didn’t know, there is a Public Hearing being held
 Monday, January 25^th, 5:30 pm at the City Council meeting.

            This Public Hearing will address the possibility of rezoning 2 areas.  Rezoning 112^th street and rezoning Canterwood Blvd.  If this rezoning happens there is the likelihood for higher density, multi-family housing, bringing more traffic to these streets, intersections and roundabouts.

We drive on these streets. We must to be heard.
  It is our tax money that fixes the street problems. We must to be heard.
   Families are a wonderful addition to our community. All kids must have a school to attend.
Citizens must to be heard! 

 Notice of this Public Hearing might be of special interest to folks living in the Henderson Bay Estate area and McCormick Ridge. Be a good neighbor and spread the word.          

Were you able to find any information about these proposed zoning changes?  Maybe not.

The Mayor and Council wants citizens to visit the city website
to find out everything they need to know.

 

  

 When should a citizen visit the city website?  It is unclear when to look, were to look and what you are looking for?  Not user friendly!  Our citizens should not have to look that hard.

   

As Council member Malich wrote, “Too often decisions are made before the public becomes aware of the implications”.  Of course, he is right.
            Council member Malich was re-elected by an overwhelming majority of Gig Harbor voters.  His campaign was to limit housing starts, limit density, and solve the traffic gridlock before allowing more out of control chaotic development.  Ken was re-elected by a landslide. These issues are what we voted for and the mayor and council need to be reminded of we the voters and what we want.

See you Monday at the Public Hearing
