City Council agenda item regarding Carnegie: The Clallam County Historical Society provided the City of Port Angeles with a letter on December 24, 2015 requesting that their lease agreement for the Carnegie Library (205 South Lincoln) be assumed by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe.

Lower Elwha Klallam tribe to take over lease of Museum at Carnegie in Port Angeles---PDN
Quoting from the article posted:" Councilman Lee Whetham, who voted against the transfer, said the change should be discussed in a public hearing. He said other organizations should have a chance to rent the building and continue to keep the museum open as the tribe has pledged to do in taking on the remaining years of the 20-year agreement."
Editorial Note: During the discussion regarding the Carnegie library, which the report didn't mention was the exchange between Council members Whetham, and Gase. What was mostly about some legal issues, and regarding real estate. I was hoping that exchange was recorded on the city council minutes, but wasn't. So I am waiting to see if Clallam Public eye got it, so I can share it with you. In the meantime. Councilman Merideth wanted to interject something regarding the Carnegie library decision, but he didn't get a chance to say anything because of the exchange between Gase, and Whetham. Apparently, the mayor didn't see Merideth's hand go up requesting to speak, the mayor called for the vote. I wrote to all three council member's letting them have their chance on what transpired during that discussion, none as of yet answered my email I sent out. As soon as I get more information I'll share it with you.
