ISLAND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS -  MINUTES OF MEETING

 REGULAR AND SPECIAL SESSIONS  -   JULY 23 2001

 

SPECIAL  SESSION

 

The Board of Island County Commissioners  met  in Special Session on Monday, July 23, 2001 beginning at  9:00 a.m., prior to the regular session scheduled for 11:30 a.m.  The purpose of the special session was to meet in   Executive Session  pursuant to RCW 42.30.110 (1) (g) to evaluate  qualifications of applicants for public employment. Commissioners  Thorn, Shelton and McDowell were present. The Chairman  anticipated  that the  session would  last  until approximately 11:00 a.m.

 

REGULAR SESSION

 

The  Regular Meeting of the Board of Island County Commissioners was held on July 23,   beginning at 11:30 a.m.  for a  Roundtable  with Elected Officials,  followed by other  topics at 1:30 p.m. as  outlined on the agenda,  including Diking Improvement District #4.     The meeting  was held in the  Island County Courthouse Annex, Hearing Room, Coupeville, Wa., with  William F. Thorn, Chairman, and Mike Shelton, Member, and   Wm. L. McDowell,  Member, present.

 

Roundtable Meeting with Island County Elected Officials

 

Attendance:

            Elected Officials:           Tom Baenen; Greg Banks; Marilee Black; Mike Hawley; Maxine Sauter;                                                Peter Strow

            Others:                         Elaine Marlow

 

Elected Officials’ Request for Salary Adjustment

 

In follow-up from the  June 25, 2001 Roundtable,  the Commissioners confirmed their commitment to a salary increase for Elected Officials.  A  resolution will need to be drafted, and public hearing held, inasmuch as Elected Officials salaries were established by resolution. The majority Board opinion was that the effective date  would be 1 August. The Commissioners at this point had differing  opinions on using a  specific  dollar  amount or  percentage, but agreed it would  roughly equal 5% now, and another like amount  considered during upcoming budget sessions to be effective 1 July 2002 [or if budget allows 1 January 2002].   The  Prosecutor was asked to follow through in drafting a resolution for consideration on the Board’s agenda 6 August if possible.

 

Budget Process

 

To respond to questions on the  process for the 2002 budget, the Chair mentioned it was a   bit too late in the cycle to get any innovations in to the system, such as a two year budget cycle, but that was where he wanted to be heading.  Shortly, he would  provide to  Elected Officials and Appointed Department Heads a memorandum outlining  the budget process and guidelines to follow.  The State Legislature gave counties the authority to adopt a biennial budget.  He really would like to see the County headed towards a  six year financial plan.

 

Commissioner Shelton  pointed out that it would  be difficult in this financial setting dealing with State Legislature  for the County to adopt a biennial  budget.    He did think it was important for departments to be thinking along the line of a two year budget, this year’s budget and planning for the next.

 

Commissioner McDowell had a few concerns about a two year budget cycle, but agreed with a two year plan.    Looking at the history, many funds are very irregular year to year.  His concerns focused mainly around unpredictability  of revenues year to year, because revenues do not necessarily go up every year enough to cover everyone’s needs and would hate to see the Board approve a request for the second year funding only to get into the second year budget and not be able to fund it.  Also, demands change as rapidly as revenues, and a good example would be unfunded mandates passed down to counties.

 

Chairman Thorn was not  adverse to make a  two year commitment but it would have to be made  with the understanding  that anything can change.  The prudent management judgment would be make a second year plan and create an experience and build on that experience.   The  goal in all of this he thought was so that the Elected Officials would feel they are  partners in this process with the Board. 

 

Roundtable adjourned 12:10 p.m.  Next Roundtable will be August 27th @ 11:30 a.m.

Lehman Road Closure Appeal

 

Lisa Yost, 1171 Orcas Drive, Camano Island, an attorney with  Merrick, Hofstedt & Lindsey, Seattle, appearing on behalf of the residents of   Cavalero Estates   and the residents of the Country Club area on Camano Island.  Over 300 petitioners  and an additional 59 petition signatures turned in today, request that the Board reconsider its decision to close Lehman Road to residents that live south of the East Camano Drive construction project.  She received copies of the resolution and meeting minutes used to substantiate the decision to close the road and after review of those, determined there was no objective basis to close the public road and therefore believe the road was closed in violation of state law.   RCW 47.48.010 requires establishing that  the road could either be greatly damaged  or a danger to traffic.  She contended that nothing in the meeting minutes June 25 or the resolution which indicates that road is either going to be greatly damaged or that it is a dangerous condition.  The road was used before as a detour  route for the first phase of the project.    Because of the way the decision was made, they do not believe the road to be legally closed.  State statute 47.48.020  also requires publication of at least three days prior to the closure of the road.  While  the  detour route itself was published, the closure of Lehman Road was not published in the local newspaper.  The closure of Lehman Road to residents south asks residents to bear tremendous cost; the four miles each way for every trip equals eight mile round trip  at .32-1/2 cents a mile using current IRS code through the life of the 91 day project will  cost $270 each resident plus 30 minutes extra, asks the residents to drive an additional 45 hours during the life of the project.

 

Numerous less restrictive alternatives available which appear not to have been considered.  The statute allows restriction of the road to passenger vehicles, restrict the weight, and the request today is that the County do that if there is truly a concern about the road condition, re-define the term local traffic to include those residents who live  immediately south of the project between that and  Monticello.   Country Club residents agrees with that too; the Country Club is actually north of Monticello, and trying to reach a reasonable compromise. 

 

Chairman Thorn advised that the Board would take the matter under advisement, and review the materials submitted and State Statutes cited.

 

Resolution #C-101-01/R-45-01 In the Matter of Responding to

Island County Board of Law Library Trustees

 

Larry Kwarsick, Public Works Director, introduced  proposed Resolution #C-101-01/R-45-01 In the Matter of Responding to Island County Board of Law Library Trustees.  At the Board’s request, Mr. Kwarsick prepared a report and recommendation, along with proposed resolution,

available today as a hand-out.    The report reviewed and analyzed  standards for county law libraries; recapped  the history of the county law library design  and  activities associated with the design and construction of the Law and Justice Center.  

 

Chairman Thorn clarified that contrary to a circular that was being distributed, this was not public hearing, rather the Board convening to  consider  the resolution that has been prepared and proposed.  As a matter of routine, and on advice of counsel, the Board would not  take public testimony on this subject.

 

By unanimous motion, the Board adopted Resolution #C-101-01/R-45-01 In the Matter of Responding to Island County Board of Law Library Trustees.

Subsequently Mr. Kwarsick received a message from the Sheriff  with regard to continuing activity on the South Whidbey Sheriff Precinct, and Mr. Kwarsick notified the Board and Sheriff that place-holder is still maintained for that project in the year 2002.  There was some concern regarding REET revenue projections and the figure of 2% is conservative, lower than historical.
