County meets with Port talks about composites, and County stops four story B&B.
Summary of this weeks meetings:
Monday: Port and County held a joint meeting, one of many of the topics besides the report on Composite Recycling Center was creating regional ecomomic and community priorites.
See agenda for details: http://wa-portofportangeles.civicplus.com/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/07252016-170
On May 13, 2016, Howard Behar, founding president of Starbucks lnternational and cofounder
of the Washington Business Alliance, spoke to the community at a public event
and also spoke to community leaders at a special luncheon event. The conversation with
Mr. Behar was about strategy, values, and leadership. lt became apparent that our
community could benefit from more cross-jurisdictional conversations and support of
community wide goals. While each organization has its strategic plan and goals, it was
difficult to answer the question "What are the top three goals of the community?" We can
also expand on this by asking "How can we support each other goals?"
The county's concerns were: Planning for a joint request to EDC on 2017 goals and metrics prior to the end of 2016.

Also, an added item, the Commission reconsidered the disputed Bed and Breakfast which was to be built in Clallam Bay. As you recall it was on the agenda last week: Emergency ordinance to establish Interim Official Controls under RCW 36.70A.390 and Home Rule Charter for certain rural zoning districts to limit size of structures.
This week, the DCD Director, Mary Ellen Winborn, came with an emergency ordinance to stop the four story structure being built.

Editorial Note: I imagine it will be a rude awakening when half if not most who sign that petition will end up voting against it, since it will be meaningless because the citizens will vote in new council members anyway in 2017. Pointless now.

Editorial note: Sounds to me like brooding over lost advertising opportunities. He fails to mention local news blogs owned by local folks. They are not getting any revenue in advertising dollars, and they are not complaining about the EDC much about selling ad spaces. (There other publications folks)
