Ronald Wastewater Sues City of Shoreline

On June 27, 2013 Ronald Wastewater and Art Wadekamper filed a "Complaint for Declaratory Judgment" in King County Superior Court against the City of Shoreline. 

On May 22, 2013 the Shoreline City Council held a special meeting regarding the possiblity of suing the Ronald Sewer District as they had entered into discussions with the Town of Woodway regarding possible sale of the Point Wells/Snohomish County portion of the Ronald Wastewater infrastructure in apparent violation of the Interlocal Agreement from October 2002.  At this meeting (available in audio-only on the City of Shoreline web site) several citizens voiced their dismay at the prospect of a legal action before negotiations had been exhausted.  The citizens who voiced their concerns are also ratepayers of the Ronald Wastewater District.

It would seem that the Ronald Wastewater District feels that ratepayer dollars should be spent on this lawsuit rather than any attempt at further discussion.

The Complaint filed runs twelve pages and covers many issues, not only those cited above. 

Everyone interested in this issue should take the time to read those twelve pages, familiarize themselves with the Interlocal Agreement in question, and come to their own conclusions on this issue pitting Ronald Wastewater against the City of Shoreline - a battle waged with money from the pockets of Shoreline residents.

The Council will be considering this issue at their next regular meeting on Monday the 22nd in Executive Session.  Please make your voices heard.
