"Washougal
council may vote on mayor's resignation
Councilman Jon Russell mentions impeachment as an alternative

Molly Coston could end up serving as the city's next mayor -- at least through
Dec. 31.
Councilman Jon Russell
plans to introduce a resolution asking for Stacee Sellers to resign during the
next council meeting Monday, at 7 p.m. He mentioned the possibility of
impeachment, if Sellers does not willingly agree to a resignation.
"This is a crucial
budget period, and we need stability," Russell said during the council
workshop Monday.
Councilman Michael
Delavar added his call for Sellers's resignation. Coston read a letter written
by Delavar, since he did not attend the workshop.
"If the city has
difficulty functioning or maintaining a high level of respect from the public,
then it is in the best interest of the city that the mayor resign,"
Delavar said.
"I lack faith in the
current mayor to fulfill her duties properly," he added.
Sellers said Thursday she
would be on vacation during the council workshop but would attend the council
meeting Monday. She made the comments while moving from a townhouse she has
lived in since the summer to an undisclosed location, reportedly within
Washougal.
The move began Wednesday
morning - the day after Sellers lost her re-election bid to Sean Guard - by a
margin of 2,277 votes (72.45 percent) to 831 votes (26.44 percent). That
involved 46.65 percent of the registered voters in Washougal.
Guard called the results
a "mandate."
"There were just a
lot of people who were not satisfied with where the city was or where it was
headed in the future," he said Monday. "I don't believe there is much
confidence in Stacee and her ability to work with staff and the council at this
point. There is a massive distrust and lack of honesty and cohesiveness. I
don't know if it's in anyone's best interest for Stacee to stay in
office."
