Remember to Vote – Now.

Vote2If you are still procrastinating there is still time to vote in the November 2013 election. Time is running short however.

Another good option is to deposit your ballot — no stamp required —in the Ballot Drop Box located at McCollum Park —  600 128th ST SE — open 24/7 up until 8PM on Tuesday the 5th.

If you are still undecided about the Mill Creek City Council Postitions, Do Tell Mill Creek recommends retaining

  • Lynn Sordel for Position 1
  • Donna Michelson Position 2

All of these candidates have the experience & a passion for the future of the Mill Creek. Donna & Kathy have lived in Mill Creek for 34+ years, Bart for 14 years &  Lynn for 7 years.

Two More Seek Re-Election to MC Council

First off, Bart (Tim) Masterson, The Pointe, has filed for re-election to the Mill Creek City Council.  During the economic turmoil of the last four years, he has concentrated on the City’s fiscal soundness by advocating for tactical expense trimming & Masterson,Bart2careful spending rather than drastic service cutting measures.  As a result, our financial reserves have remained strong and service levels high. Working on and supporting the MC Police Department’s strategic plan for enhancing staffing levels and command structure has helped make an even stronger police force. Masterson’s two year intensive evaluation of a proposed costly Regional Fire Authority resulted in the City’s choosing instead to strengthen our contractual relationship for emergency services with Fire District 7. A priority for Masterson is the development of our last suitable commercial area known as the East Gateway Urban Village. Says Masterson; “Our fiscal sustainability depends on it. Moreover, I am an advocate for the adopted Strategic Plan for the city; a plan that presents a longer term pathway for maintaining the integrity, livability and sustainability of Mill Creek in the future. It has been an exciting four years and I would like to participate in the next four.”

Lynn Sordel is fourth current Mill Creek Council member to announce plans to seek re-election.  Sordel was appointed by vote of the Council in November 2012 to fill Position 1 which had been vacated by Terry Ryan. This appointment will end in November 2014. Thus, Mr. Sordel will seek a full four-year term by vote of the people this coming election season. Do tell.
