COMMITTEE DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
1. ORDINANCE AMENDING WHATCOM COUNTY CODE 1.08.060,
INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM, AND RECALL — FORM OF PETITION
(AB2004 -145)
Shirley Forslof, County Auditor, stated the County code allows a petition that
is small, crowds the signatures, and has small lettering. This change to the code
allows a larger petition that will result in less confusion for the public, is easier for
staff to read, and is consistent with what the State allows.
Roy moved to recommend approval to the full Council.
Motion carried unanimous /y.

S. REQUEST AUTHORIZATION FOR THE EXECUTIVE TO APPROVE A
DECLARATION OF COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR WETLAND
MITIGATION AREAS — HOVANDER COUNTY PARK (AB2004 -155)
Roy moved to recommend approval to the full Council because the Parks
Director recommends the item.
Mike McFarlane, Parks and Recreation Department Director, stated he's not
sure how this got there. The work was done. There was initial approval that didn't
go through the entire process. It was forgotten. The Corps contacted the Credit
Union and said it wouldn't sign off until the work was done. The Credit Union
consultant told the Parks Department that it wasn't in the right place, and there
wasn't an agreement for the place it was done. It has little or no impact to his
operations, because both are wetland areas where they are limited to doing
anything with.
Roy asked if the mitigation benefits Hovander Park. McFarlane stated it does.
The initial intent was to re- vegetate a wetland area and retention pond. Instead of
doing that on one side of the pond, they did it on the other side. Instead of
restoring a ditch, they enhanced a natural swale.
Motion carried unanimously.
OTHER BUSINESS
There was no other business.
ADJOURN
The meeting adjourned at 11:12 a.m.
