Belkot, C-TRAN, and a Question of Authority

About this episode

The Clark County Council's amended Rules of Procedure now explicitly allow a majority to direct appointed members' votes and remove them for any reason.

Clark County Today is polling readers on whether the new rules suggest her removal was handled improperly. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/poll-do-the-clark-county-councils-new-rules-of-procedure-suggest-michelle-belkots-2025-removal-from-the-c-tran-board-was-handled-improperly/ #ClarkCounty #ClarkCountyCouncil #CTRAN #MichelleBelkot #LocalGovernment #WashingtonState #Politics

The Clark County Council has amended its rules of procedure to allow a majority of counselors to direct how an appointed member votes on a board or commission and to remove that member for any reason. Counselor Michelle Bellcott says the changes reinforce her argument that the council lacked clear authority when it removed her from the C-Tran board of directors in 2025. This week, Clark County today is asking readers whether the new rules suggest Bellcott's removal was handled improperly. Do the Clark County Council's new rules of procedure suggest Michelle Bellcott's 2025 removal from the C-Tran board was handled improperly? Yes, the new rules show the authority was not previously clear. Possibly, but the circumstances still matter. No, the council was justified in removing her. Not sure.
