We've heard from community members that they think the showing of public support for SuperTrack in the May 8 meeting, our article, and the All Point Bulletin article are enough to ensure SuperTrack's contract will continue. They also assume and expect Stephen Falk to resign his position. Neither is true.

SuperTrack's contract is at risk as long as he and Sara Oggel are on the board. They have until the end of June to decide whether to renew SuperTrack's contract or let it lapse. If they let it lapse, they will issue an RFP for appearance's sake and then award the contract to Anwar and Shields.

Falk is not likely to resign. While an honorable person would do so, Falk's own communications prove that he's not honorable or ethical. He has maintained that he's done nothing wrong even though he has violated his oath of office and is using his position to benefit Shields. Based on what he did in 2020, he is now likely to stick it out, wait for this to blow over, and forge ahead with the process of replacing SuperTrack.

A vote to let SuperTrack's contract lapse can occur at the June 12 regular meeting, or Falk, as the presiding officer of the district, can call a special meeting for that purpose a special meeting could be called for that purpose. He could do this This could happen up to the last week of June when Falk expects people to be complacent and have stopped paying attention.*

At the May meeting, Falk tried to deflect and deny the story and evidence we published last week, even though he himself submitted that evidence in response to our records request. If he can ignore all that, he can ignore you too.

Update May 14: The RCW refers to the "presiding officer" as the one who can call a special meeting, but there's no specific definition of that term we can find. As far as we can tell, the superintendent is actually the "presiding officer". It should be noted, though, that Falk can introduce a motion at the next regular meeting that isn't on the meeting agenda.
