Q A Snoqualmie City Council Candidate Dan Murphy Talks Spring Plaza Builders Remedy and Pool Confusion

Candidate Dan Murphy, vying for Snoqualmie City Council Position #1, argues for substantial improvements in community engagement to rebuild trust with residents. He points to ineffective communication as a major barrier, proposing that the city adjust meeting times for better accessibility and allow virtual participation for residents. Murphy suggests amending the city’s social media policy to facilitate public comments, a practice already in place in surrounding municipalities. He envisions increased outreach at local events and regular town hall meetings to create informal avenues for resident interaction with council members. Furthermore, Murphy emphasizes the importance of citizen commissions in ensuring community voices are integral to decision-making.

He acknowledges the confusion around the council's decision to approve a swimming pool despite previous opposition, underscoring the need for clear communication regarding such contentious issues. As the election approaches on November 4, Murphy aims to engage more residents in shaping the city’s future. His campaign focuses on transparency and active participation in local governance.
