The Edmonds City Council debates the reimbursement during its March 9, 2021 meeting.
$337 is not a lot of money. But $337 is the flashpoint that ignited an inflammatory and seemingly endless debate in Edmonds City Council.
“I think this was a witch hunt.” Councilmember Adrienne Fraley-Monillas
–Councilmember Laura Johnson
“I’ve been slandered tonight, and I’ve been accused of bias and I just want that to be on the record.”
–Councilmember Vivian Olson
The $337 is not the real story. The story is the internal council battle that, for the last several months, has pitted members against one another; much of it focused on the debate over a new police chief.

Dear editor,
How long do we expect the city council to table the reimbursement request from Councilmember Olson? Is this the council’s way to “pay back’ one of their members for revealing the totally botched selection process for our police chief?
It is imperative that our councilmembers get the information they need and that they provide oversight of the administrative branch of our local government especially when evaluating qualifications for a director level candidate. But four councilmembers Adrienne Fraley-Monillas, Susan Paine, Luke Distelhorst and Laura Johnson continue to drag Councilmember Olson through the mud for being thorough and doing her job. They continue to deny Councilmember Olson her reimbursement.

Human Resources Director Jessica Neill Hoyson, bottom right, discusses with councilmembers the matrix of considerations for a contractor vs. an in-house social worker.
Story updated to clarify the amount requested for reimbursement was $337 rather than $307.
The Edmonds City Council Tuesday night agreed with a city staff recommendation to contract with a human services agency to provide a social worker rather than hire an employee to do the work.
Councilmembers also began going through amendments to the city’s just-passed tree code, although ran out of time and agreed to continue the effort at a later date. And they engaged in a sometimes heated discussion also continued to a later, yet-to-be-determined meeting about whether Councilmember Vivian Olson should be reimbursed for the $337 she spent to obtain a 67-page court document as part of her research into the background of former police chief candidate Sherman Pruitt.
