Vashon residents will hold a second community dialogue to discuss the future of governance on the Island.

The gathering, to be held at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 19, at Open Space for Arts & Community, follows on the heels of a discussion that was held last weekend and that 65 to 70 people attended.

The two discussions come in advance of a Vashon-Maury Island Community Council (VMICC) meeting — to be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 20 — to try to determine the future of the council in the wake of last month’s mass resignation of the board.

Several Islanders have come together in the last few weeks to explore ways to re-invent the council or create a different kind of governance structure.

Last week, the group explored a range of options, from incorporating Vashon as a city to creating what some call an “enhanced” community council.

Sunday’s dialogue will continue the discussion, vetting issues so as to prepare Islanders for the Sept. 20 VMICC meeting.

The dialogue is being convened by Islanders Gay Rosser, Bill Moyer, Norine Grace, Dan Schueler, Carl Sells and Kyle Britz and will be facilitated by John Runyon.
