Hart, AICP Director Roland Middleton, AICP Division Manager RECEIvEII) MAY 2 0 20n2 PETE KREMEN COUNTY EXECUTItrE The purpose of the submitted Supplemental Budget Request is for a needed security feature for the Tidemark Permit Tracking System which has the following abilities: • The feature enables on -going maintenance of the database. • The new feature allows for evaluation of problem areas within the system and the ability to modify the current database for changing needs. • Without this feature we can not assure the system is running properly nor can needed changes be made. • Without this feature reports produced by the system will not contain the current or needed information. Included in the PDS request are additional funds for extra help due to two reasons this year. First, permits are up over 2001 by 19% for single family residences and over 10% for commercial developments. Extra help for the Land Use Division is performed primarily by interns through the internship program. Interns volunteer for three months with the remaining six months of service paid. Secondly, the budgeted funds for extra help were needed for the largely one -time expense for the preparation of files for storage and microfilming. • The interns in Land Use perform several needed tasks that provide additional time to staff for higher level duties. • Without the needed funds staff would have to perform the additional tasks currently handled by interns. • The reduction of staff availability would seriously hamper our ability to perform adequate customer service within the timeframes we would typically provide these services within.

Columbia Valley outside of the Urban Growth Area (UGA). C. Specific geological units found in bedrock on Sumas Mountain, Vedder Mountain, Red Mountain and Lummi Island as follows: Pzc, Cc, Pails, Pls, Dls, Kjs, and pDt.
