Wayne's super double top secret presentation was the lawyer for Jim Reinhold's suit against the town. The mayor and town attorney both pointed out that having her speak was a violation of their buttoned lip policy and further that she shouldn't be presenting this to the council in a public meeting. She left.

Ordinance 1250, the SWAT payment has been amended and continued until the next meeting so that public can comment. Bradley is apparently terrified of the guy that was involved and also wants to explore a way to charge him for the SWAT response. The mayor and town attorney both viewed that as pretty difficult to deal with in such a manner. Bradley is concerned that since the guy has PTSD, and it has happened before, it will again. Maybe so, maybe not, here's hoping he stays on his meds. Why can't Ruston hammer out a reduction in the price since the TPD guys could use the training anyway. Next time maybe TPD could call out the potty trailers from TFD instead of pissing in everyone's shrubbery.

Court street to Baltimore one way reversal, apparently it switches regularly over time.

Res 412, Declaration of intent to enter into an interlocal agreement with TacoMa to administer an LID with Cohen's Point Ruston development. Dan the man did point out that Ruston has a lot to lose in the event of a default what with our very small tax payer base. However he was getting into his interrogation "gotcha" mode again even if he was making valid points.

There has been a proposal to re-review 1002 as it appears to be stopping development.

The ouster of Huitt-Zollar is on hold but there is movement on the part of the council to investigate an interlocal agreement with a neighboring town for planning and building permitting as well as the engineering aspects of same. That would put Mr Stixrood on the street out of town.

Re: Huitt-Zollar contract. The unsigned copy included in the packet was tendered in 1994 and Phil Parker's name is on there as Mayor. Phil took his own life in 1995 or we could ask him if he ever signed. The contract for consultant services is for Richard Carothers Associates Ltd. of 705 S. 9th Tacoma. Did Huitt-Zollars inherit the contract? I did see that Richard Carothers has an office in Seattle at 814 E. Pike which is also the address of Huitt-Zollars.

Who's on first!
