New Business:

 

1.      Public Hearing:  Health Services Director Tim McDonald read the Ordinance C-61-04 into the record. (see attachment)  Commissioner Mac McDowell moved that the Ordinance c-61-04 “In the Matter of Amendment to the effective date of Ordinance C-28-04, Solid Waste Handling Rules and Regulations of the Island County Board of Health” be approved. Mayor Patti Cohen seconded.  The motion passed unanimously for the chair to sign on behalf of the Board.

2.      Default Judgment for Injunctive Relief and Warrant of abatement-Richard and Sparrow Harris  (see attachment)  Tim McDonald stated that the Harrises did not appear at court. This judgment for injunctive relief and warrant of abatement will give the department the capability of placing a lien on the property.  Our department has been in contact with the mortgage company.  By July 7, 2004 the six cars will be removed at a cost of $450.00.  We are starting the bidding process for cleanup of the junk.  The present lien-holder is anxious to aid in cleanup to avoid additional costs that the county’s clean-up process would entail. Clean-up is expected to be completed by the end of July.  There does not appear to be any contamination.
