There has not been a single public meeting on Orcas Island to address the East Orcas Water Supply issues since the committees was formed.


Jan. 30 Water Resource mtg. on Orcas

The first column of the table below shows the date email was sent out announcing a meeting (click on it for details)
The second column shows the publication deadline with the local paper.
After the committee was formed, not a single meeting announcement was made public in time.

Preliminary versions of the report have been available since last summer. It has only been on the county
web site since Feb 1, 2006.

I brought this up at several meetings, although some people do not remember.

The record speaks for itself.


I tried to announce public meetings for last week. My caolumn was printed, but the first paragraph
announcing the meetings was removed.
