Two Public Hearings at Sumner Council Meeting Monday

The Sumner City Council is holding to public hearings during its meeting Monday, July 1.

The first hearing pertains to the transfer of certain real property, the Sumner Meadows Golf Course, from the Sewer Utility to the General Fund. 

City spokesperson Carmen Palmer clarified this hearing is more of a procedural step as required by state law that applies for anything owned by an enterprise fund including the golf course. "While we’re still in the process of selling the course, this is not the sale yet," she said in an email.

The second hearing is on the declaration of 22 acres of unused Sewer Utility property south of Cascade’s tailrace as surplus to the City’s needs.

All persons who may desire to provide testimony are hereby notified to appear and present such testimony at such hearing. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, Council will consider a resolution to transfer the property from the Sewer Utility to the General fund.

Written comments concerning these items may be submitted to the City of Sumner, Attn: Terri Berry, City Clerk, 1104 Maple Street, Suite 200, Sumner, WA 98390. Written comments may be submitted prior to 5:00 p.m., the day of the hearing or at the public hearing. Please contact City Attorney Brett Vinson at 253-299-5611 with any questions.

The meeting takes place at 7 p.m. Monday evening in Council Chambers.
