City Council Meeting Tomorrow on Save The Pool
At 6 p.m. tomorrow in the Council Chambers, 321 East 5th Street, the Port Angeles City Council will make a decision on the William Shore Memorial Pool.
Save the Pool PA will try to show the City Council that they’re raising enough money to keep the pool open from April through June. Based on the information they get, the Council will decide whether to complete the process of funding a special election to create a park district. This district — if the voters approve — will provide revenue for the pool through a property tax levy.
The levy would be about 12 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation. The owner of a $200,000 home would pay an additional $24 a year. Save the Pool PA wants the City Council and the Clallam County Commission to place a cap on how much money the park district could levy. Without this cap, the district could levy up to 75 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation, under state law.
If you ever want to see your pool again — be there tomorrow night.

Bwa ha ha ha ha!
Using my power of mental manipulation, hordes of Port Angeles citizens will be attending a "Save the Fool" meeting in the basement of the former McLean's shoe store.
Meanwhile, at the City Council meeting, my dupes and minions on the Council will give me and my friends at Dow Chemicals the go ahead to turn the William Shore pool into a holding tank for a variety of toxic chemicals. I don't care what the EPA and other lilly-livered organizations say. Toxic chemicals never hurt anyone!

Pool schmool, the $14 million homeless shelter and Rayonier are much higher priorities.
something is fishy about the pool lack of funds....and now this...more money on our already over inflated property taxes....and the money goes right into the general fund of the corrupt city? NO WAY....
Hate to change the subject but...I am angry & disgusted...I thought this was supposed to be a "green" inauguration???

The worst part is all the American flags thrown on the ground!!
gee, Jiz..mayb next time YOU can plan it....
a little off the topic, isn't it?
Nice hissy fit, though....congrats.
NO NEW TAXES!!!!!!!!!
We cannot afford it!! Use the SARC!!
We don't NEED the pool. The already strapped PA taxpayer doesn't need to pay more taxes. They can use the SARC in Sequim.
Lizzy and Billy should work the clean-up detail. They're both major purveyors of garbage.
(As if there would have been any less garbage if McCrankypants had been sworn in. Republicans are so fastidious and clean after all.)
Many folks my age learned to swim in lakes and ponds as there wasn't a lot of pools around to learn in.
Learning how to swim after our parents tossed us in the lake wasn't all that hard, getting out of the bag was a bitch though.
Anyway, good luck, I'm for it staying if it can be done.
Liz, glad you're green. On the way back from camping today I stopped at Sunrise meats for a steak, will see if it is worth a crap.
liz, some do need the pool. What we don't NEED are new city cars, and cars that city workers can take home and use as their own.
We need to tighten the budget, and cut the pay of our city worksrs (they get what...6% cost of living increases, and have every year....while the rest of us are getting pay CUTS)
Get off it Liz, go watch Idol.
Sunrise Meats only sell tenderloin in larger packages and it's over ten bucks a pound. The one they had on hand was over eighty bucks.
So I bought a single top sirloin, under four bucks. Seared it on both sides and turned the heat down and slowly cooked it to a medium rare.
Tasted good, but still a bit tough, but too tough though, I'd buy another one, they're better than any I've gotten in a cafe.
I'd still like a good tenderloin.
