City council may dump Rosemere
Neighborhood Association tonight
The Vancouver
City Council tonight will consider a resolution
withdrawing city recognition of the Rosemere
Neighborhood Association during its 6 p.m. session
tonight in City Hall.
Expelling the
association would be a first for the city. According
to city attorney Ted
Gathe, the association has not responded to
corrective measures ordered by city manager
Pat McDonnell.
Disagreements
between the city and the association’s board
accelerated last year when the association board
tried to calm association meetings by restricting
voting membership.
The city has
asked the association board for information and
records, which the association says the city does
not have the right to see.
On Dec. 31,
2003, the association filed a complaint with the
Internal Revenue Service that requests for
information by the city and by private citizens are
part of a harassment campaign by buth the city and
private individuals.
The Rosemere
Neighborhood Association has an elaborate website,
to which those interested in further details may go:
