To: The Medina City Council
Re: City Hall Options; My Two Cents
The Recommendations being presented to the Council this evening seem
to me ill advised, because
1. They are, I believe, inconsistent with our present Comprehensive
Plan, damaging our Beach Park, damaging an historic building,
preventing future use of the City Hall as an adjunct of the Park,
and failing to use existing facilities (Schools, Overlake Golf &
Country Club and the Medina Store) for City purposes, with a
resulting waste of City land;
2. By assuming that our police should have their headquarters in the
City Hall, they are being presented without adequate
consideration of combining our police with Clyde Hill's within the
foreseeable future; the police in City Hall would then be an
outpost, like the one planned for Hunts Point, and marine contact.
If the police downsize, the space problem in City Hall is solved.
3. They are a waste of money which can be avoided with a careful
consideration and use of the existing facilities mentioned above;
4. They are an imprudent application of funds in view of the current
indications that tax revenues to the City (based on sales taxes) will
decrease in the near future;
5. They invite an undesireable expansion of government in Medina,
which will be wasteful and inconsistent with our rural character. .
The Medina Store remains a problem for its neighbors and, as presently
operated, may not succeed. Expert opinion is pessimistic. Competition
from Bellevue (QFC, Whole Foods, Safeway, Amazon Fresh) is
increasing. Mrs. Lee has been encouraged by the City to rebuild (an
enlargement), open and operate, and should be fully compensated (a
moral obligation only); but the rest of the Store can and should be used
for City purposes. In the process, the City can protect the neighbors,
solving their problem.
