Yelm Community Blog Finds City of Yelm Negligence
Posted Under: Thuston County, Yelm Activities, Yelm Government, Yelm Growth, Yelm Issues
The below is from a press release sent today, May 7th, 2009.
As a result of over a thorough 2-month investigation, I have published today
a detailed report outlining what I assert is the negligence of City of Yelm officials
in handling the official business of the city and in keeping this knowledge from public view.“THURSTON HIGHLANDS IN DEFAULT -
AN OPPORTUNITY TO REMAKE OUR COMMUNITY IN OUR MIDST”
http://yelm.com/2009/05/thurston-highlands-in-default.htmlMy report includes public documents that support every facet of my investigation
and allows the reader to draw their own conclusions. I will be publishing a follow-up
part of this report with more details in a future entry.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you for your interest.
Most sincerely.

Welcome To Yelm
Klein provides links to PDFs of public documents supporting his claims and assertions.
He outlines four key questions.
1. Why is the City of Yelm proceeding with the Water System Plan when the whole premise of the Plan is no longer valid, since the city’s water system expansion is based on serving Master Planned Communities (MPC), the largest one being in default?
2. Why did the City of Yelm, who knew this firm was in default, not tell the public?
3. Why did the City of Yelm not tell their constituents the status of this default or the amount the city was owed by Thurston Highlands, LLC?
4. Why has the City of Yelm done little or nothing to get taxpayer dollars reimbursed?
It will be interesting to see if any large media outlets (Olympian? King 5?) pick this up as a story of city officials mishandling taxpayer’s money should be a hot topic in the current economy.
