The City of Cosmopolis did not provide a link in the agenda that was published to the public earlier today. It makes it difficult for non computer savy citizens.

They posted the Meeting ID and Passcode. You will need to go to zoom.us/join and then type in the following

Meeting ID: 871 8152 2203

Passcode: 645643

I hope this helps, after typing in the Meeting ID you will click “Join Meeting” most computers will then bring a pop up window, if this pop up window comes up click “Open Zoom Meetings” after this it will ask you to enter the passcode, enter the number provided above. See you at 7pm at the Cosmopolis City Council Meeting.

Zoom's secure, reliable video platform powers all of your communication needs, including meetings, chat, phone, webinars, and online events.

Recall Mayor Pauley and restore Cosmopolis with their fire department

01/11/2022

Attention Attention. Due to no actions again from Mayor Pauley regarding fire/ems protection to the citizens of Cosmopolis, we write you this letter. Aberdeen Fire has made the City of Cosmopolis aware that they are not currently able to provide Cosmopolis full protection past a 2 week time frame. That two weeks is set to expire this week. Mayor Pauley’s actions have led the city to no longer have fire protection and have absolutely no plan in place to provide coverage.

An update on just one of the items that Mayor Pauley has continued to defend. Mayor Pauley states in multiple news interviews and statements given this past week that the disability insurance and retirement is taken care of, he states that all of the issues we listed he has addressed and corrected. Mayor Pauley is again lying to you the citizens.

We again today got confirmation from the State of Washington Board for Volunteers and Reserve Officers that the Disability and Retirement benefits paperwork is still not completed. The extremely frustrating part in this is that Chief Bridges himself completed the paperwork in full and turned in into Finance Director Pope (which is the job of City Hall not the Volunteers) at city hall when he was still Chief, Mrs. Pope was to turn it in to the state. This obviously was not done. Proving further that Mayor Pauley and City Hall is not truthful to their citizens. Below is the email received from the state today 01/03/2022.

Good Morning Cosmopolis. And happy New Year to you all.

Mayor Pauley has released a 3 page document on social media in regards to the resignation of your Cosmopolis Fire Department.

Let it be known that his document printed with the City Letterhead that you the taxpayer funds, is inaccurate, untruthful, and unethical.

Mayor Pauley states numerous responses in his letter to the statements previously released in our statement are only written to defend himself personally and not represent the actual events.

As of 12:01AM January 1, 2022 your firefighters ended the 127 year stretch of Service to the Citizens of Cosmopolis. It is now in your hands to hold Kyle Pauley responsible and demand accurate information. We wish you all well and it has been an absolute pleasure serving you.
