TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME! CITY APPROVES BASEBALL FRANCHISE by 6-1.

 "The city needed a break from the negative press as of late"

THE SPOTTED OWLS
On of the names I picked for new
ball club.
Picture from google search

The big ticket story wasn't so much about the pending petition of changing the city government, nor the continuing saga of ethic violations. During this week's City Council meeting it was actually on a lighter note! That was the approval of the contract between the city and, Mack Athletics, who will bring in a Pacific Coast minor league team here in Port Angeles.

GO SPOTTED OWLS! that is one of the names I thought of for the incoming team. Council member, Lee Wetham voted against the contract, citing it was too soon to approve of the contract because it hadn't been discussed before hand, and only came to the council recently out of the blue.

 Was Wetham correct in opposing the contract? Good question!
Despite the fact that this quick decision of approving the contract, before being fully feted, was probably due to the city's desperate act to put a good foot forward by this current council. I have to agree with Whetham again, that these contracts should be fully vetted before a rush job approach just to save face with a doubting public.

During the public hearing the MACK representatives said that the council shouldn't make quick decisions on a count of them wanting to get the ball rolling in marketing the new team. If an urgent decision had to be made the city could have done a special meeting the following day, and go through Whetham, and Bruch's concerns, and then make the final decision, not just ignore Whetham or Bruch's concerns. They could have done it that way. But, I don't think they were thinking on those terms, they seemed eager to push through with the contract with blinders on. I'm surprised no one has filed any ethic complaints on that one as of yet. That seems to be the trend these days in regards to anything this current council does these days.

 I myself, caught up in the prospect of having a baseball team here in Port Angeles, came up with some names for the team such as: The Gooey Ducks, Razor Clams, The Orcas, The Spotted owls, and lastly the Whalers. Just to annoy those environmentalist to no end of course.

Needless to say, Whetham had a point that the city should not enter into a contract with blinders on. Same thing could have been said about those "smart" meters they were pushing a couple of years ago. I don't have an issue with them selling booze at Civic Field, look at Safeco in Seattle, they don't seem to have problems there. Why should it be an issue here? As I said, having this team here will give a greater cause to fix up Civic Field, plus the team will be in charge of the upkeep of the place. So how can you go wrong with that? So, let's play ball!

However other actionable items on the agenda were approve (see summary agenda)

CHARGES OF COVER UPS, MALFEASANCE, OVER LAWSUIT DEAL

How a botched up public record keeping ended up costing taxpayers $550K

Peter Ripley, Publisher.

The County approve the controversial settlement for yet another park for a cool $550,000! Though the decision wasn't what everyone wanted, questions and allegations of cover ups made the headlines locally. See related articles from both the Peninsula Daily News, and the Port O Call. The Port O Call's Dale Wilson has been leading the charge in making those allegations. In my opinion if you are going to make allegations of criminal conduct of the Prosecuting Attorney, you better have clear evidence to back it up. This "web" of conspiracy which, Wilson says going on, has so many parts in it, it's hard to keep up. Is it about a land deal? Is it about public records being misplaced? Is it about the Treasurer being sued by the Prosecuting Attorney? Or is it the County Prosecutor on the take Dale? Which is it? Granted this publication interest in this,  isn't  as much as the other local media outlets.

But, you can't just over look the fact because of some public records being misplaced is now costing the tax payers a cool $550k! As I see this, even though I don't really have a grasp on the whole issue, Because of so many elements in this big spider web, that's if there is a spider web of corruption exist,  as suggested in published reports, I just think this belongs in the courts, not the court of public opinion. Let those who are making the charges of cover up, and malfeasance by the county Prosecutor, then make the charge openly in the court of law. Not on the pages of local news rags. I had someone come up to me during a meeting I was attending hearing this very issue of the Lange lawsuit, and asked me what is this whole thing about? I had no answers to give. Hard to find a place where you can hang your hat on and say: "this is what this is all about" because it's so convoluted with so many parts it's difficult to tell what is this really all about.

However on their agenda the County did approve other items on their agenda that didn't make the headlines with much fan fare locally such as:
CONSENT AGENDA – Any Commissioner may remove items for discussion
1a Approval of vouchers for the week of June 27
1b Approval of payroll for the period ending June 24
1c Approval of Workers’ Compensation expenditures for the months of April and May

CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS
2a Interagency agreement with State of Washington Administrative Office of the Courts for
support of Family and Juvenile Court Improvement Plan
2b Modification of agreement with United States Forest Service to increase funding and extend
performance period to October 31, 2017
2c Agreement with Kathy J. Rowe to purchase easement for the Olympic Discovery Trail Project
2d Amendment 1 with Department of Ecology to allocate existing grant funds to the Education and Outreach task and revise deliverable due dates
2e Modification 5 to the participating agreement with USDA, Forest Service, Olympic National
Forest to extend the performance period to December 31, 2016 in order to expend remaining
funding in the amount of $15,000
BIDS AND AWARDS
3a Notice of call for bids to be received no later than 10 a.m., July 26, 2016 for the Courthouse
Boiler Replacement Project
3b Bid opening – Mental Health/Substance Abuse Intervention Services in the Public Schools
All items on the agenda were approved.
As for the hot topic item: H1 Consideration of resolution adopting the following Debatable Emergencies: General Fund Reserves – Transfers settlement funds to risk management/$550,000 (step 1 of 3)
Human Resources, Risk Management – Moves money to ending fund balance/$550,000 (step 2 of 3) Human Resources, Risk Management – Moves money from ending fund balance to claims
settlements/$550,000 (step 3 of 3)
* Mike Chapman voted against the settlement agreement, he didn't agree with the rush to a settlement.

WILL A COUNCIL MEMBER MOVE TO PLACE THIS ON THE NOV. 8TH BALLOT?

First of all readers, I want to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day!

Peter Ripley, Publisher.

I imagine our founding fathers would never imagine that their nation that they founded in good faith, and belief in God that it would one day face it's founding principles such as free speech, freedom from religious persecution, and our basic liberties would put in jeopardy by a sitting president by allowing those who hate and despise this nation and peoples in this country. Time will tell if the policy of allowing 10,000 refugees in this nation was a good move or not.
I'm not saying all 10,000 Syrian refugees are bad people, but, as you know there are bad apples in every group.
However, even though that has nothing to do with the title of this week's commentary. It does go to show  what happens with bad policy making.

In our case the continuation of adding fluoride in our water system, only to appease overly zealous local dentist. Which many in our community feel is putting our general health in jeopardy, along with our "liberty" in being able to drink, and bath in toxic free water.

There was a petition going around with a citizen action to completely replace the current city council and revert back to the style of city council circa the 1970's. As the following Peninsula News article posted June 18th states....
Second-class city vote timing in doubt in Port Angeles---PDN
Quote from the article posted on June 18th: "But the City Council could vote to have it on the Nov. 8 ballot, Bloor said. The deadline for filing resolutions for the fall general election ballot is Aug. 2."


Editorial Note: I realize the deadline for posting a ballot measure of changing the "class" of our city council isn't until August, thus forcing all current council members to vacate their seats. We haven't heard anything from the current council on the possibility of forwarding the question on the ballot to change city government. You would think there would have been some mention of this during the last city council. There was none from what I heard on the matter.

• Board of Ethics (2) Findings, Conclusion and Recommendation
• Letters of Support Recommended by Fluoride Alternatives Ad Hoc Committee

Editorial Note: I took a look at the city agenda coming this week, and there isn't even a whisper of bringing the issue up for consideration of forwarding the petition to a ballot measure come this November 8th ballot on the agenda this coming Tuesday. The lead item on the agenda is about the possibility of a west coast baseball franchise coming to Port Angeles, along with some other items of interest, which touches on the reasons for the anger from the public on the issue of fluoridation, and the cause and effects of some actions surrounding the decision of continuing adding fluoride to our water system.
Now I think it would be great that a minor league team would call Port Angeles their home. That would at least give a good enough reason to fix up Civic Field. But, that's besides the point of issue at hand to go with a change of city government or not. The question is will a current council member be willing to stand up and make a motion to send the question of changing the form of city council to the November 8th ballot? Like in baseball it's the ninth inning and your one call from being struck out, and your team is on the losing side. It will be a test of wills for sure, seeing which of these council members really mean what they say with their oaths of office to defend and protect the US, and State Constitutions or not. That in itself would be something to watch.

THE COUNTY TREASURE'S MELODRAMA CONTINUES

In this episode...

 County Treasurer,
Selinda Barkius

The following headlines from the local media pretty much plays out the story line at least in the case of County Treasure Selinda Barkius ongoing allegations against other county officials. The thing that strikes me as odd, are  claims that her freedom of speech is being denied.  We all seen countless news stories from the local media that quotes her statements she makes, then, she denies interviews from other media types that might let her have her say. Does that make any sense at all? She seems to favor one local media outlet above anyone else that may give her a fair hearing. Could it be because that media outlet is giving her a platform for her agenda at the time? What is really odd in my view, while she snubs interviews from other media outlets, she often is quoted in saying that her voice is being suppressed, and not heard, and no one cares about her concerns. I approached Barkhuis once to conduct an interview, she gave me the old line: "I'll think about it" , to me that was tell me to shove off. I hadn't asked since, nor do I plan to again. Readers, I only ask once. It don't matter to me really whether she wants to talk with this publication or not, I do manage to record her statements she gives during public meetings. It struck me as odd her insistence of making claims that her speech is being denied. Isn’t the county treasure supposed to be accessible to all citizens, not just those who champion her causes?
In case you missed it my interview with County Prosecutor, Mark Nichols on Monday.

Quote from the article posted: " The redacted emails were from then-senior planner Selinda Barkhuis, who is now the county treasurer. By recommending the proposed settlement, Barkhuis alleged that Nichols was admitting that he “knowingly, repeatedly and wrongfully redacted my email, my opinion, from the public record.”
“I think it's an unconscionable conflict of interest for him or his deputy to be advising you as to the merits of this case,” Barkhuis added in public comments to the board. Nichols did not respond to Barkhuis' statements Tuesday."

PORT'S LEAD HEADLINE...HIRING OF NEW DIRECTOR

The lead highlight item on the Port Commission agenda on Monday was the hiring of Karen Goschen, who had been the interim director until a new one was found, got the job officially. The following is the press release issued by the Port Commission.

Port Hires Goschen as Executive Director
Via press release issued on June 28, 2016
On Monday, June 27, the Port of Port Angeles Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to appoint Karen Goschen as their new Executive Director. Ms. Goschen has served as the Interim Executive Director since January 2016 and will now officially take the helm at the Port of Port Angeles.
Karen’s organizational strengths have been a key factor in meeting the challenges of change that have affected the Port in the last two years. Her management style is in the tradition of “servant leadership,” a participative philosophy that emphasizes service as an aspect of decision-making and recognizes the strengths within each person.
"Karen Goschen's commitment to this Port and our community is unparalleled,” said Port Commission President Colleen McAleer. “The Commission fully believes Karen's strategic vision for partnership and her servant leadership approach will improve Clallam County's environment so businesses can prosper. We are thrilled to have Karen at the helm and expect to see great advances under her leadership."
Karen was hired as the Port’s Director of Finance in August 2012 and was promoted to the Deputy Executive Director in 2014. Karen has previously held executive-level management positions in Finance and operations since 1998 and has been responsible for presenting financial and operational results to governing boards for nonprofit, government and for profit entities. She has also held positions in management consulting, focusing on process improvement, strategic planning and financial systems, and has taught college level business and finance courses.
Karen earned her Bachelors of Science degree in Accounting and Finance from California State University graduating Summa Cum Laude, and a Masters of Business Administration, with a concentration in Finance from the University of Colorado. She also studied law at the University of Colorado.
Jones Strategic was hired by the Port Commission in December of 2015 to conduct the Executive Director search. Four Executive Director candidates were interviewed on June 16th in an open public meeting and then in executive session on June 17th.
