SEQUIM — Members of the public hoping to show up to Monday’s City Council meeting and be heard on the city’s plans to allow Wal-Mart to build a store will have to find another way to express their views.
The meeting — advertised as a public hearing in newspapers and on the city’s Web site — is actually an administrative appeals hearing.
Instead of being a community forum on the controversial “big box” department store planned for west of downtown, the session will be limited to comments from four parties who filed formal appeals against the project in May.
“We’re sorry that the notice wasn’t clearly written,” City Attorney Craig Ritchie said Thursday.
