Letter: Q&A on Camp Murray Gate

October 4, 2010 By Ben Sclair

A question and answer with Lakewood City Manager Andrew Neiditz, concerning the controversial Camp Murray gate relocation issue, will be the featured presentation at the meeting of the Tillicum Woodbrook Neighborhood Association (TWNA) Thursday, October 7, 2010, 6:30 p.m. at the Tillicum Community Center, 14916 Washington Ave. SW. Following are some links to recent developments.

TNT Editorial, October 1, 2010

“City officials aren’t averse to a new gate. They’re just not convinced that the location Camp Murray officials wanted was the best one or that the mitigations they proposed to alleviate impacts on Tillicum residents were sufficient.

“Right now, tempers are frayed on the subject. After everyone cools off, the subject should be resurrected – this time with plenty of input up front from the people who would be most affected: the residents of Tillicum.”

The above is an excerpt – the bottom-line – in the editorial in today’s TNT.

General says plans for Camp Murray gate move are dead
The top general of the Washington National Guard said today that its plans to move the congested gate at Camp Murray away from Interstate 5 are dead, or at least on hold, and he blamed the City of Lakewood for causing a key federal deadline to be missed.

Also at our meeting October 7:

Opportunities and applications for home remodeling will be presented by Drew Carrigan, Community Outreach Coordinator and AmeriCorps Member for “Rebuilding Together South Sound“.

Senior code enforcement officer, Doug Price, will update the community on various abatements as well as provide crime statistics for code cases in the city in general and Tillicum in particular. If there are any particular properties that you want addressed, or a complaint or question about a code issue, please contact Sandi Stauffer.

To be honored at our Oct.7th TWNA will be the volunteers who recently helped “save a life” by assisting with the removal of a significant accumulation of no-longer needed household items from the home of a single woman in our community.
