The Regular
Meeting of the Board of Island County Commissioners convened at 11:30 a.m.
on February 24, 2003 for
a Roundtable with Elected Officials, Conference Room #116, Courthouse
Administration Building. Other agenda
topics for the Regular Session followed
at 1:30 p.m. as outlined on the agenda, including
Diking Improvement District #4, held in the
Law & Justice Facility, Department III (Courtroom 3), 101 NE 6th
Street, Coupeville, Wa. Wm. L.

Roundtable Meeting with Island County Elected
Officials
In addition to all three members of the Board of

2004
Budget Process
Discussed in roundtable fashion the budget for 2004
and what the procedure should be.
Generally, it was agreed:
§
The
Chairman and Budget Director 30 days’ from now will come up with 3 year projection for Current Expanse based
on some assumptions: history;
hold-the-line-budget; no new employees; and factor in some percentage for
inflation;
§
Begin
budget process late May or summer;
§
No
need to repeat the earlier process of last year where each department presented
detailed explanation of what each department does.
Legislative
Issues
Roundtable discussion of issues relative to each
department’s spheres of influence to
keep the Board breast of what potential
legislation that could affect the County as a whole. Elected Officials commented on any proposed
legislation that could have an effect on their department as far as increased workload or the County
as a whole that would end up costing added dollars.
There is proposed state legislation to take to the
voters a .25 cent property tax
increase for public health. What that would do for the county is that Current Expense allocation made now to Public Health Pooling could be used for
other necessary County services.
Next month the Board and Elected Officials will
bring forward comments on status of bills, since it will be known by that time
hopefully, what comes out of committee.
Roundtable adjourned at
12:15 p.m. Next meeting scheduled for
March 24, 2003 at 11:30 a.m.

Public Input or Comments
The majority of people in the audience at the time
the Chairman called for public input or comments at 2:00 p.m. expressed a
desire to speak on one of the items included on today’s Chairman’s Agenda, regarding consideration of scheduling a public hearing on a proposal to
establish a Whidbey-Camano Mosquito Control District. Chairman McDowell indicated that comments would be taken now, and
the Board would consider a
proposed resolution afterwards
scheduling a public hearing for a time on the March 24, 2003 agenda.
Lori Oneal, resident of Clinton and an environmental health advocate, read from a
letter dated today [submittal on
file for the record] “No Mosquito
Control District “, with attachments including:
Copy of a Whidbey News Times

Tayabali and Verner L. Seligy)
Brochure: “How Chemicals in your Environment can
affect Your Health” , Northwest Center
for Environmental Medicine, Bellevue, Wa.; Human Ecology Action League
Summarized, main points of her letter
were:
To date, 3,989 cases total of the West Nile Virus have been reported in the
U.S., including 259 deaths.
Opposition
to use of toxic poisons in the community.
Opportunity must be provided for
public education
and alternate methods found rather than
use of toxic sprays, such as introduction of new fish species into waters to
eat mosquito larva (Gambusa fish); the use of
bacteria “Bacillus thuringiensis isrealensis” (bti).
Concern that the education that is absolutely
necessary for an individual’s medical situation resulting from exposures to
these chemicals has not been adequately
provided to medical personnel.
Material Safety Data Sheets for chemical sprays such as Crossbow, Direx 4L
and Round-up Pro document various
hazardous health effects. Data has
been provided previously to show how herbicides bio-accuuulate in bodies and
the environment, resulting in disease.
Giving
the Health Department jurisdiction
without accountability to the public of
an even higher class of deadly chemical spray is unacceptable. Previous U. S. public mosquito abatement
programs mislead the public to believe chemicals like DDT, Malathion, Dursban,
Diazonin and Anvil were safe when use
resulted in ravaging effects on immune systems.
Important
that the community have the opportunity to work together to find healthier
alternatives in combating the mosquito
problem, and there needs to be full
disclosure of the health risks, treatments and active input regarding chemical
applications.
Cheryl Bradkin, resident of Coupeville, identified as
loosely representing Whidbey Audubon Society, asked that the Commissioners keep
in mind educational possibilities before the West Nile virus arrives in the
County and before insecticides are used.
These include: eliminating
materials that hold stagnate water; changing water in bird baths weekly; providing
nest boxes for violet
green swallows; provide bat boxes for those who want them in their
yards; larvae eating fish for ponds; and restoring the historic saline tidal flow to Crockett Lake.
Laurie Keith, President, Whidbey
Island No Spray Coalition (WINS), submitted and read from a written statement [submittal on file for the record],
comments summarized:
Proposed response to form a mosquito control
district is out of line with the actual threat
and the remote chance of human illness and death.
In
order for it to have any success the
Health Department would have to launch a fear campaign and convince everyone how big a threat the
problem is and why people should be
afraid enough to pay more taxes. WINS does not support it. Estimated
cost of holding an election
county-wide is $75,000 on whether or not to form a mosquito control district will be
wasted inasmuch as it will not receive the required 60% voter approval.
County
should use that $75,000 instead for public education on how to eliminate
breeding sites, and other methods of control such as feeder fish/goldfish
which eat mosquito larvae; cleaning gutters; getting rid of old tires and other breeding sites; use B.t.i mosquito dunks to kill larvae in those
ponds along the state highway which are too toxic because of sprays the State
continues to use along roadsides.
If the
hearing is held on March 24th, WINS will provide detailed
information on the lethal effects of
using adulticides. A mosquito control
board apparently would have independent autonomy to choose to use adulticides.
There
is no need or a mosquito district in the County. The Health Department should
do
what is needed to educate the public and eliminate standing water breeding
sites.
Margaret Moore, Clinton, referring to
February 19, 2003, South Whidbey
Record Editorial and quoted from
several paragraphs:
We tried this once before (remember DDT?), and
yet the mosquito, one of Mother Nature’s most adaptable survivors, is still
here. Undeterred by generations of repellents, unhindered by a massive
pesticide spraying campaign in this nation in the 1950’s and 1960’s, the
mosquito is something we’ve learned to live with.
Other nations still work hard at killing off
mosquitoes in hopes of wiping out malaria, another potentially fatal disease
carried by the tiny, blood-sucking insect. Many use the DDT we
banned decades ago, but the effort hasn’t worked. About 300 million
people a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control, come down with
malaria despite the kill off.
To become involved in spraying she thought
might put the County in some kind of nasty struggle against an insect
that seems to have a great deal of resiliency, and only end up spending
a lot of money and energy. There are
lots of other creative ways to deal with the problem.
Rufus Rose, South Whidbey, referred to
an Editorial in the South Whidbey Record noting
some
significant errors he thought increased
fear, and he was aware that Dr. Roger
Case, Island County Health Officer, had
written a letter to the Editor trying to clarify those. He expressed concern about the authority contained in the RCW with regard to mosquito control districts,
noting it as overwhelming and
significant. Authority for a district
to be created by appointment to him means that the public does not have any access except through the Commissioners
and Mayors, which is not good enough.
The public should have direct
access to people who levy taxes, go on private
property and without permission of the owner, and have the ability to
lien properties. Given the
likelihood West Nile virus is not a serious human threat, he thought that
the recommendation to put the
establishment of a district to a vote
was premature. The evidence has not all been presented in a
public forum. Dr. Case has pointed out
that it is very unlikely there would be
any fatality in Island County due to the West Nile virus. If it is decided to put the measure on the
ballot, it would seem appropriate for general election and not a special
election, when more voters would come
out to vote. Given the probability of infection, expenditure of $75,000
election cost is not justified. He
made the point that there is not much standing water in the woods where he
lives yet there are “jillions” of
mosquitoes, so it is not just a standing water issue. A question he posed was
if a district were formed and has the authority to drain wetlands, would
seem to be in conflict with requirements to preserve/protect wetlands.
Resolution #C-15 -03 Public Hearing on Intention to Establish Whidbey- Camano Mosquito Control
District Pursuant to Chapter 17.28 RCW
Commissioner Shelton commented
that if the issue is put to the vote of
the people and passes, the Mosquito
Control District (MCD) is established in accordance with the RCW.
In Clark County and Skamania County when the issue was placed on the
ballot, creation of the district passed but funding failed. He has learned that once a MCD is formed it
has the ability to go on private property with a significant wetland and charge
the owner to treat mosquitoes for the benefit of all surrounding areas at the
owner’s expense. He has come to
realize that the amount of money placed on the ballot is not that important because after the first year the MCD can make an assessment, which is what
happened in Clark and Skamania counties, and can assess people’s property on an
on-going basis, and has the ability to levy 50 cents per $1,000 assessed value
without the vote of the people the second year of existence. There has been
much talk about some of the methodologies of control, and public health officials have
stressed over and over that if mosquitoes achieve adult status the
ability to control them is very
difficult. He supported holding a public hearing on this issue so that many of
these things can be brought out and at that point, based upon public input, the
Board make the decision whether or not to place the issue on the ballot.
Commissioner Byrd mentioned that not all mosquitoes are vectors for this particular virus, in fact,
few that are. The Board has looked into
the matter quite a bit, and was aware that many citizens had as well, but
believed the best way to inform the general public would be through a public hearing.
Chairman McDowell recognized
that Commissioners are elected to make decisions and he
believed there was enough information
on which to base a decision at this time, and look next year at the issue if
the threat materializes. He is
concerned that once as is created it has almost unlimited authority; can come
onto private property uninvited and assess a levy against that property and
lien that property, and the MCD seems to be accountable to no one once
appointed. If the measure is placed on
the ballot, there are two issues: (1)
creation of the MCD; and (2) amount of assessment. If the MCD is approved which takes 60%
voter approval but the assessment
fails, the very following year the MCD
can impose without election a 50 cent
per $1,000 assessment. It is important
to compare that to the fact that Island
County’s total Current Expense budget
runs on 79 cents per $1,000. This seems to be a lot of power given to a
MCD board for which he does not see a case having been made for the need at
this point in time. The numbers today
would indicate probability of dying from this is close to 1 out of
985,000; the probability of dying in
car wreck in Island County is between 1 out of 9,000. and 1 out of 7500. This is a decision that does not need to be made this year and
did not support it this year; education,
however, would be useful.
Concerns
expressed about spraying are very valid although he did not necessarily agree
with the comments as far as deadliness of spraying. He mentioned that the State
has a draft of a plan for mosquito abatement and right now the threat
would be at a level 1-B [out of 1 – 5 levels] which indicates putting down
larvacide By Spring when mosquitoes are
here would be level 2, the first time when the State would start to think about
the possibility of adult control. For all those reasons he did not think
this year is the time to put the issue on the ballot.
Commissioner Shelton moved
to schedule Resolution #C-15-03 on
intention to establish Whidbey-Camano Mosquito Control District Pursuant to Chapter 17.28 RCW for public
hearing on March 24, 2003 at 3:15
p.m. Motion, seconded by Commissioner Byrd, carried by majority
vote, Commissioner McDowell opposed
for reasons so stated.
