Issue Brief
What this covers
- Status: open - First raised: 2026-05-10 (Karin Offield in WLHS Banter) - Last raised: 2026-05-13 (DDA/PSD Board meeting — packet not posted on city website) - Recurrence count: 1
Why it matters
If a public-body packet is distributed to local media (Harbor Light) but is not posted to the city's website or community calendar ahead of the meeting, residents cannot access the same materials through normal public channels. This is a process/transparency issue rather than a substantive policy dispute. The May 13, 2026 DDA/PSD packet was obtained via WhatsApp (shared by Allison Larson) rather than through the city website. This raises questions about whether DDA agendas, packets, and supporting materials are systematically available to residents before meetings.
What resolution means
- Resolved when DDA/PSD meeting packets are reliably posted on the city website ahead of each regular meeting, with a notification channel or calendar link visible to residents - Open until city publicly confirms and consistently practices posting packets on the website
