Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe

Sequim, WA 98382
Dear Casey,
Please accept my deepest apologies for missing my meeting with you, Linda and Rachel yesterday. I
realize what a large commitment of time and resource that were spent getting here and I am truly
sorry that they were wasted by us. Hearing input from the Jamestown Tribe is important to me and I
am sincerely sadden that our error prevented me from speaking with you and your staff.
My intent for meeting with you was to see if we could find some synergies between all the
organizations and members of the Housing Taskforce to help address the housing shortages here in
Port Angeles. I understand that Jamestown has some housing here in Port Angeles and I wanted to see
how the City could be of service to the Tribe in furthering your needs, and maybe how the various
partners of the Housing Taskforce could be of service to the Tribe to increase housing or assist in
housing programs. I realize that with the current significant projects being undertaken by the
Jamestown Tribe,this may be the wrong time, but I wanted to reach out to you and let you know that
if you see an opportunity where any organization from the Housing Taskforce may be of service to you,
please don't hesitate to ask and we will help to connect you with them.
I sincerely hope that I do get a chance to meet with you at our next Housing Taskforce meeting to be
able to talk about this and to personally extend my apologies for missing yesterday's meeting.
Sincerely,
Sissi P. Bruch, Ph.D.
Mayor
