With regard to PAA # 041/99, Sheriff Hawley requested waiver of delayed hiring policy [based on 50% leave buy-out] and authorization to hire May 1, 1999 rather than having to wait until May 17^th, equating to $1250. The case the Sheriff made was that with a position already unfilled and the need to cover the Jail, should this position not be filled when incumbent vacates the position May 1^st, overtime would be required to provide sufficient coverage in the Jail. The Sheriff can cover the funds required now from his budget, but he thought it was too early in the year for him to be able to commit that he would not end up short at the end of the year. Commissioner McDowell thought if the Sheriff’s Budget was $1250 over at the end of the year, that would not be a problem.

By unanimous motion, the Board approved the following PAA’s:

Mr. Kwarsick presented for approval, Washington State Department of Transportation Agreement GCA 1469 representing the County’s financial participation in construction of intersection improvements at SR 20/Banta Road/Northgate Drive, a project total estimated cost of $1,192,526 and the County’s financial participation not to exceed $597,000. Lew Legat, County Engineer, explained that this was one of the intersections within the high accident corridor on Highway 20 going north and is recognized by the State in need of improvements. From the County intersection with Highway 20 this intersection does have some problems. Mr. Kwarsick pointed out that based upon the Transportation Plan, this stretch of highway is one of the more troublesome areas in terms of maintaining level of service standards, in addition to safety improvements.

By unanimous motion the Board approved Washington State Department of Transportation Agreement GCA 1469 representing the County’s financial participation in construction of intersection improvements at SR 20/Banta Road/Northgate Drive, as presented.

As presented and recommended for approval by Mr. Kwarsick, the Board approved Supplemental Agreement #1, amending Agreement #PW-972033, Central Whidbey Trails Council providing property management in the Kettles area extending the term of agreement to 3/9/2001. The Board

acknowledged the services and expressed sincere appreciation for the Central Whidbey Trails Council, all volunteer work.

The Board, on unanimous motion, accepted on behalf of Island County, a Quitclaim Deed from Daniel J. and Carolyn L. Tores, and authorized payment for same in the amount of $4,154.00, for right-of-way associated with Woodland Beach Road repair, Parcel #190.335, Sec. 3-31-2E.

The Board, on unanimous motion, approved three drainage easements and three construction easements from Ruth M. and Roy E. Lambert, Camano Island, Lots 21, 22 and 23, Plat of Woodland Beach, under Work Order #184.

Phil Bakke, Comprehensive Plan Manager, Island County Planning Department, presented Resolution #C-43-99, which if approved, would extend the service area for the North Whidbey Water District and update the Coordinated Water System Plan to reflect the service area expansion to include Parcel #R13435-249-2730 by Chris Kelly, owner. The property is approximately .94 acres in area and is a triangular parcel historically used in conjunction with light tourism and service retail business activity, in the area of Deception Pass, where Bob’s Produce Stand previously was located. The property is classified Rural Village in the Island county Zoning Atlas. The owner of the parcel worked with the District to expand to serve that vacant parcel, and the District submitted an application accepted by the County March 2, 1999, proposing to extend the water service area to the one additional lot abutting the west side of State Highway 20 on Assessor’s Parcel #R13435-249-2730.

Mr. Bakke confirmed that the request did not include any proposed expansion of service area. The Washington State Department of Health in a March 12, 1999 letter reported no objection to the proposed extension. The Island County Public Works Department in an April 2^nd memo advised of no objections to approval of the expansion, subject to a number of conditions listed in that memo, attached to the Resolution as Attachment "A". With that, the Planning Department recommended approval. Reviewing with the Board the Water Service Area Map in the application, Mr. Bakke showed that the map detailed the whole service area and proposed service area.

By unanimous motion, the Board adopted Resolution #C-43-99 [PLG-008-99] extending the service area for the North Whidbey Water District and updating the Coordinated Water System Plan to reflect the service area expansion to include Parcel #R13435-249-2730.

WHEREAS, the North Whidbey Water District has prepared and an application for a service area expansion per the Island County Coordinated Water System Plan, RCW 70.116, and WAC 248-56; and

WHEREAS, the water system plan and existing service area of the North Whidbey Water District has been reviewed for consistency with the Island County Comprehensive Plan, the Island County Coordinated Water System Plan, and other applicable State and local codes and regulations.

WHEREAS, the Island County Public Works Department recommends conditional approval of the North Whidbey Water District service area expansion (conditions listed in Attachment "A").

WHEREAS, the Washington State Department of Health does not object to approval of the North Whidbey Water District service area expansion.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Board of Island County Commis-sioners that the proposed service area expansion for the North Whidbey Water District be incorporated into the Island County Coordinated Water System Plan subject to the conditions from the Island County Public Works Department listed in Attachment "A".

ADOPTED this 12^th day of April, 1999.
