COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS
Becky Crocker – 500 Ridge Rd, spoke regarding the sewer extension on Ridge Road and the
financial burden she feels it will cause residents that could be forced to connect. She is also
opposed to having to pay the monthly fee when their septic system is still operational and permitted
through Pierce County.
Howard Davis – 115 Rainier Ave S #B, stated that he moved here 7 years ago, really enjoyed the
budget conversation and feels that AI can help in these types of conversations.
Alex Roggenkamp – is a local business owner and is glad the Town removed the flock cameras.
He stated that he was given a ticket for expired tabs and he wanted to speak about the $30 car tab
bill that he voted on. He feels that there should be actual $30 car tabs if his vote counted.
