PACIFIC, Wash. -- To the cheers and boos of a huge crowd, the Pacific city council members postponed a vote to disband their city and become part of Auburn.
Council members say they want more information, but many people at the meeting Monday night hold mayor Cy Sun directly responsible for getting to this point.
Sun said he does not agree to dissolve his city. But when it came time for Pacific residents to talk, Sun walked out, much to the chagrin of the crowd.
"You have to stay and listen, you're the mayor, you're supposed to listen," one in the crown shouted.
"Resign, retire! Get out!" another said.
Sun has fired city employees, locked out others. Sun's own police force arrested him for destroying city documents.
"Until Cy Sun is outta this town, you're gonna have nothing, absolutely nothing. Probably your best bet would be to annex to Auburn," one in the crowd said, to some boos.
Pacific may be absorbed by Auburn after after Pacific's insurance carrier deemed Pacific too risky and threatened to drop coverage.
Auburn said Monday at its own council meeting that it wants to help, their city council expressed concern about taking on extra liability.
"It just breaks my heart," said Pacific Council President Leanne Guier.
Ultimately, no binding decisions were made Monday night in either Pacific or Auburn.

I hope all Councilmembers are happy now. Way to prove that Mayor Sun was incompetent. For that one finger you pointed at Mayor Sun, there are 4 more pointing back at the entire Council.  I don't blame Mayor Sun for leaving.  Who wants to stick around and be yelled at by a mob with mob mentality? Â
@ScaredinPacific LMAO is he such a coward he can't stand there and listen to his constituents? I'm sorry, if you volunteer to be elected into a position you shouldn't be running away every time someone dissents with you.
In America, you get the government you deserve. Â If you vote in Teabagging derptards, this is what you should expect. Â Pacific now reaps what it has sown.
@Jerome O'Neil You sir, are an idiot.

Â
No, I'm a card carrying member of the VFW, so you should show me some respect.
Â
Young was clown before he got elected, he was a clown when he got elected, and now everyone is shocked, SHOCKED I SAY! that he's a clown now.
Â
If you don't like clown shoes, quit electing them.
Just because someone is in VFW does not mean he is not an idiot. But I don't think it was nice of Mr. Carlo to say that.
Â
On the other hand, you believe Cy Young is the mayor of Pacific. *snicker*
my guess is the mayor is a Progressive democrat union thug.Â
@Maynard G Krebbs By the way, he is not that at all.Â
@Maynard G Krebbs And also a hero of the Korean War. You people need to have some more respect.
Disband this joke of a 'city'. It's been a loathesome nest of corruption for decades now, probably ever since the current mayor was a soldier in the Korean War, if not before. Please, end this pathetic soap opera now.
Obviously Cy Sun is suffering from advanced dementia, at the very least. He's forgotten all rules of courtesy and how to treat people. Guess what - your point of view isn't the only one! And last I saw, Pacific isn't a communist city. Want to behave that way, then move to North Korea!
@Traveler Very poor choice of words - Mayor Sun still carries a North Korean bullet in his body from his combat service in that war. It's fine to disagree with him and say he is a poor mayor if you that's how you see it, but to say he should move to North Korea is disrespectful of a man who likely has done far more than most of us to serve his country. You owe him an apology.
 @70MonteCarlo  @Traveler Although a vet, a bit of decency goes a long way.  Being a vet can only take a person so far, at some point the vet needs to take responsibility for their own actions and realize that respect should be earned and not expected.
@70MonteCarlo I was at this meeting , & i somewhat agree we should show a little more respect but he refuses to listen to the residents, he tried giveing a speach & told people to shut up when when it was technically our turn to talk and just walked out. as far as im concerned he dosent deserve this metal he supposedly earned because most people especially soldiers past,present, and future would listen, and attempt to fix this mess the got them selfs into
Without out crazy life would be so boring and normal..
Not like there is any waste or corruption in our current govt.
This Cy Sun character has become South King County's very own Dale Washam. Speaking as a Tacoma resident, good luck with that, folks.
Â
And really, folks, Pacific needs to be annexed by Algona, thereby creating the city Alpaca! Come on, you KNOW you want to see that happen!
Â
@svensson Good one. A little humor is a good thing right about now.
Â
@70MonteCarlo I just wish somebody could tell me WTF SandyBeach was talking about... Commentary without context is babbling, and I think that's what we have here.
The Man and His Machine don't like to be bogged down. Glad you've reserved your spot on the ship of fools.

Just want the City of Auburn needs more gangstas and trash!
 @Too funny! Love how you believe people from Pacific are gangstas and trash. Last time I checked Auburn has way more crime and "gangstas and trash" running around.Â
@kbjohnson2008 That's what s/he is saying: that Auburn already has enough of both, and doesn't need more from Pacific.
