OPEN SESSION
William James Corbett, citizen, stated he is homeless and unable to get public
housing, due to felonies from ten years ago. He is living in a motor home. He has not been
able to work because of back surgeries. He is not getting any support. He asked if there is
something the Council can do to get someone into housing. Has been denied for the
housing list, because he only has $300 per month from the State Department of Social and
Health Services (DSHS). He's worked and lived in this community all his life. He's having a
hard time from his felonies in 1999. Nobody wants to see how he is growing to better
himself. He is trying to make it in his own community. He keeps getting knocked down
because of his past. He doesn't know what to do. He can't get housing unless he has $800
per month. Being homeless is devastating to him and others in the same situation.
Someone should help them move on with their lives.
Caskey- Schreiber asked if Mr. Corbett has contacted the Opportunity Council for
their Homeless Service Center. Corbett stated he has been to the Opportunity Council,
Homeless Connect, the Hope House, and the churches. He is on a list for housing through
the Bellingham Housing Authority, but only if he makes $800 per month.
Brenner asked if he's applied for supplemental security income (SSI). Corbett stated
he has. Someone is helping him with the SSI application. Homeless Connect is helping as
much as it can, but the felony thing was ten years ago. It's holding him back from growing
better.
Brenner asked if there is anything that someone with an old felony can do.
Fleetwood stated there is a process to get the record expunged.
Karen Frakes, Prosecutor's Office, stated the person has to meet certain criteria.

Andy Accimus, 3110 Racine Street, Apartment 111, stated he is on the Whatcom
Housing Advisory committee, he was homeless for eight years. Many people out there are
trying, like the previous speaker, but are stuck with a felony conviction or other
circumstances. It's something the Council may not be aware of. The system is very
complicated and difficult for people to get through. The extent of the problem is not known
to the elected officials. The Point in Time Count indicates there are 1,500 homeless people.
This problem has to be addressed. Everyone in the country has a right to housing. It's up
to every elected official to do the best they can to help people get back on their feet,
regardless of past circumstances.
Laura McBeath, 6319 Everson Goshen Road, stated she wants to talk about her story
regarding the building permit process but is concerned about retribution. She went through
the building process in 2001 as planned. She started the permit process for a horse barn in
2008. Things proceeded normally through the permit process, until one individual seemed
to target her. The employee tried to dictate the entire use of her property, not just the
building site. The employee required that she hire a biologist to map the entire property,
not just the building site. She hired someone on the department's list and paid $1,100 for
the report. The employee said she didn't believe the report. She invited the employee to
her property to discuss the employees requirements for a permit. The first thing the
employee said to her that day was that the driveway must be wetlands because of standing
water. That day was a day of severe flooding in November 2008. The employee made
several inappropriate comments, including that it is unhealthy to allow horses outside. The
employee tried to insist that she keep the horses in their 12 x 12 stalls at all times, unless
she's riding them. That's not a good thing for horses. Then the employee insisted on the
farm plan. Later that month, the employee came to her property and walked with others
around her property. She worries about these people injuring her horses if the gates aren't
shut properly. This type of stuff goes on. She did get her permit, but the employee is
dictating where the horses are allowed to go on her property, and trying to keep them
corralled.
Doug Robertson, 900 Dupont Street, Whatcom County State and Federal Bar
Association Member, stated he is a member of a Bar Association subcommittee regarding
the funding for the court system. The government does not have enough money to pay for
all the services the community wishes it could fund. Everything the County does is
important. There isn't rampant waste. However, the legislatures have to define the
community's priorities by looking back at the Constitutional base of government. The single
most important purpose is common defense, and then domestic tranquility. Domestic
tranquility is based on enforcement of the rule of law. Their entire rule of law is based on a
functioning judiciary and an effective police force. Now, the court system is crumbling
under the lack of resources. Priority civil cases are being bumped. Family calendars are
being cancelled. They can't get a court date. The Council needs to define priorities. The
rule of law is the first priority. Fully fund the court system. Rule of law needs to be
enforced effectively. The highest priority of the 2010 budget should be the court system.
(Clerk's Note: The speaker following Mr. Robertson requested that his /her testimony
not be included in the minutes.)
Wes Withrow, 1463 Country Lane, stated he would talk about the proposed sites for
a new County jail. He is a member of the Rural Avenue Neighborhood Association. County
citizens should have public input. The association has concerns about the transparency of
this process, environmental impacts, and the impact to the rural neighborhood and
surrounding areas. County citizens should be more involved in these discussions. The jail

selection process was supposed to involve the public. This hasn't happened. Even
neighbors living adjacent to the sites have not been notified. Over $700,000 has been
spent to narrow the selection to two sites that would impact the same rural neighborhood,
have wetland issues, are home to numerous species, and don't meet the County's own
guidelines outlined in the essential public facilities site selection criteria. The sites don't
have access to utilities and infrastructure to accommodate a facility of that nature. They've
been told that the public would have a chance to provide input after a draft environmental
impact statement (EIS) has been issued. This is too late. He would like to speak sooner.
He asked who is conducting the environmental impact study, and if it is the same consultant
who conducted the site survey study.
Dewey Desler, Deputy Administrator, stated the County is using its Facilities Division
staff and a consulting team, developed by a firm called HDR. They are well away from
completing the environmental impact statement. The administration will discuss the
information and process with the County Council. They haven't purchased or committed to
a property, other than identified sites on which the EIS is written.
Dennis Jones, 1487 Sudden Valley, stated he would talk about funding for the Lake
Whatcom Management Plan. The City of Bellingham and Water District 10 have a land
acquisition fund they developed in the late 1990s. Bellingham has spent $11.7 million. The
Water District fund collects only $16.80 per year, per property. Sudden Valley has a density
reduction fund that is about $1.8 million. He described the history of that fund. This fund
has been absconded by the Board for purposes that were not agreed to by the County
Council, Water District, or City of Bellingham. He hopes that they will work the community
of Sudden Valley, including the Board, to fund the Lake Whatcom Management Plan. If not,
hold them responsible. He expects the money to be used for density reduction, stormwater
improvements, best management practices for whatever is built, and outreach.
Bob Wiesen, 3314 Douglas Road, stated he thanked the Council for providing time
for the small cities to state their cases about their urban growth areas (UGA's). The small
cities are doing a better job of planning than the County. The County should consider their
concerns. The County needs to get real and have a new attitude to help people.
Donald Littrell, 8359 Delta Line Road, stated he bought a 40 -acre farm. He also
bought a 20 -acre tract and 25 -acre tract. At the time of purchase, they were zoned as one -
acre parcels. Since, they have been downzoned to five -acre parcels. Now, they are trying
to change the zone to ten -acre parcels. He has 30 grandchildren and 16 great
grandchildren, some of whom live on his parcels. He is trying to subdivide to five -acre
tracts before the zoning is changed. The 20 -acre tract is listed as less than 20 acres on the
tax statement. If it is downzoned, he can get only one residence on the tract, which
destroys the plans he had when he purchased those properties. He bought the property to
provide an opportunity for his children to live in the area. He cannot leave any heritage to
his children.
Caskey- Schreiber stated she thought the recommendation was for five -acre parcels,
not ten -acre parcels.
David Stalheim, Planning and Development Services Director, stated the Planning
Commission recommends a density of one unit per ten acres in the areas being reviewed as
part of the rural element, the limited areas of more intense rural development (LAMIRD)
areas. The Council will address that recommendation.

3. RESOLUTION TO SELL COUNTY TAX TITLE PROPERTY BY PUBLIC AUCTION —
REQUEST #TR2009 -05 (AB2009 -391A)
Fleetwood opened the public hearing and the following person spoke:
Steve Oliver, Treasurer, stated this is an old piece of railroad right -of -way acquired
by foreclosure in 1950. There are four homes using this property to access their homes.
The applicant is not one of those adjacent property owners.
Brenner asked if the right -of -way is the only ingress and egress to those four
properties. Oliver stated he can't say for certain.
Brenner stated table the issue until they have more information.
Caskey- Schreiber asked if the four adjacent property owners were notified of this
transaction. Oliver stated they have been notified.
Brenner asked if they can negotiate with the adjacent property owners. Oliver stated
the issue with this parcel is their right to sell property by negotiation to an adjacent
property owner. It is only allowed for parcels valued less than $500. This piece of right -of-
way has been assessed for more than $500. It's not eligible for negotiation with an
adjacent property owner. The Property Management Committee recommends going forward
for public auction. He agrees with the recommendation.
Crawford stated the adjacent property owners are notified that the property will be
up for auction. Let those owners decide whether or not if they want it.

Brenner stated it may be the only access to those four properties. She asked if the
County is required to insure that people have access to and from their property. They can't
be landlocked.
Crawford stated that if the property owners have an issue with that, they can
purchase an easement from other properties.
Brenner asked if the County requires ingress and egress when it allows someone to
build a house.
Crawford stated it may predate the rules.
Hearing no one else, Fleetwood closed the public hearing.
Nelson moved to approve the resolution.
Brenner stated she's not comfortable until she gets answers about when the houses
were built and whether there was ingress and egress.
The motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Crawford, Fleetwood, Kelly, Nelson and Weimer (5)
Nays: Brenner and Caskey- Schreiber (2)
4. RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE WHATCOM COUNTY 2010 ANNUAL
CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM (AB2009 -393)

on a levy shift option on which they haven't decided. Once they vote on this, it takes a
unanimous vote of the Council to change it. This doesn't have to pass this evening.
Crawford stated he is going to support the program, regardless of what they decide
about the tax shift. The tax shift will not effect these properties.

OF $59,140 (AB2009 -420) (Council acting as the Whatcom County
Flood Control District Board of Supervisors)
OTHER BUSINESS
Pete Kremen, County Executive, stated there is an informational meeting on Lummi
Island to discuss the Ferry System beginning at 6 p.m. or 7 p.m. on November 9 at the
Grange. Staff attending the meeting will include Public Works Department Director Frank
Abart and hopefully a representative from the Prosecutor's Office. All the councilmembers
are welcome to attend.
Brenner reported for the Public Works and Safety Committee and stated the
committee discussed the proposed South Fork Park. The residents of the area want the
main entrance at the south end of the park, which would be easy to develop. The Acme
residents are having a meeting about the park at 7 p.m. at the Acme Elementary School.
Kelly asked if there is an alternative staff proposal that includes a southern park
entrance.
Brenner stated the Parks Director said they are considering north and south
entrances. She hasn't heard anyone from the Acme area who wants a northern entrance.
Many have said they don't want a northern entrance. Staff said they made a request to the
State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) regarding easements to the south. There is
one more week of public comment, and then it goes to State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA). The staff are talking about a southern entrance only as an addition to the northern
entrance. The community doesn't want the northern entrance because it will affect the Elk
herds, in addition to other problems.
Nelson stated the County cannot consider a southern easement because it does not
own the land to the south. The staff requested the environmental impact statement (EIS)
to look at both areas. In light of that, the committee recommended sending a letter to DNR
again, asking for an easement through DNR land to the south end. He moved request that
the administration send a letter to DNR asking DNR to allow County access through the
southern area.
The motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Brenner, Caskey- Schreiber, Crawford, Fleetwood, Kelly, Nelson and
Weimer (7)
Nays: None (0)
Kremen asked for more specific information.
Nelson stated Parks and Recreation Department Director McFarland has more
information.
Kremen stated he will work cooperatively and collaboratively with the Council.
Caskey- Schreiber stated a special Committee of the Whole meeting is scheduled
from 9 a.m. to noon and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on November 3. The meeting is to develop
the Council's proposal for how cities and small towns should grow.
