Public Comments on Elementary School Rejuvenation Project

The City Council meeting began with a public comment session, where several community members expressed their opinions on the Cannon Beach Elementary School Rejuvenation Project. Carrie Ramey, a former advisory council member, urged the council not to put the project to a public vote, emphasizing the extensive time and effort already invested by both the council and advisory committee. She contended that reversing the decision would be a disservice to the community and a concession to a small, litigious group.

Another resident echoed Ramey's sentiments, highlighting the council's deep understanding of the project's financial intricacies, which the average voter might not grasp. This speaker expressed concern that putting the project to a vote would undermine the council's expertise and hard work.

Deb Atiyah also supported moving forward without a public vote, pointing out the increasing hostility and disrespect towards the council. She emphasized the importance of maintaining progress and improving infrastructure, urging the council to continue with the projects as planned.
