Rachel Rosen reports from the Oak Harbor City Council meeting of May 17, 2022.
Eleven people came in person to the May 17 Oak Harbor City Council meeting to support the installation of the 37-foot, metal Angel de la Creatividad sculpture at Windjammer Park.
They Said It
Councilmember Shane Hoffmire said he was very happy to see that many people giving public comments. He said he knocked on over 7,000 doors during his campaign and at almost every house he was told “do not let the sculpture go at City Beach.”
While he couldn’t support the angel going up at Windjammer Park, he insisted there should be compromise and it could be installed at another location. He said that installing it at Windjammer Park despite the opposition from the community was a “violation of public trust.”
Hoffmire ended his comment with saying: “Let’s please figure out a way to get to yes.”
