PUBLIC HEARING
ORDINANCE AMENDING WHATCOM COUNTY CODE 8. 10, SOLID
WASTE AND RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING COLLECTION (AB97 -382)
Jeff Monsen, Public Works Director, gave a staff report. He confirmed Council received
proposed amendments in a December 8 memo (on file). He read the amendments into the
record:
1. Ordinance, Exhibit A, p. 6, 8.10.050 (K), third line, amend the year
of expiration from 1999 to 2002; and
2. Ordinance, Exhibit A, p.4, 8.10.050(C)(1), insert a new item (g), as
follows:
(g). Yard waste - collection of this material is deferred pending further
amendments to this chapter, no later than December 31, 1999.
Dan Gibson, Prosecuting Attorney =s Office, spoke to the issue of a five -year sunset. The
County can modify an ordinance at any time. A five -year sunset sets the maximum effect of
term of that ordinance, not the minimum.
Nelson opened the public hearing, and the following person spoke:
Polly McNeill, representing Sanitary Service, 1001 Roeder
Regular Council Minutes, 12/9/97, Page 2
Hearing no one else, Nelson closed the public hearing.
Nelson moved to adopt the ordinance.
Brenner moved to amend the ordinance with a hold harmless.
8.10.101 Hold Harmless: Nothing in this ordinance shall be construed to prevent
Whatcom County from going out for a bid, an RFP, or any other type of contract
before the sunset of this ordinance. The County shall incur no liability by doing
SO.
Dan Gibson, Prosecuting Attorney =s Office, stated contract and ordinance language are
being combined here. For Council to state by ordinance that there will be no liability is
meaningless. County government cannot legislate immunity.

ordinance.

Council during discussion of this item.
Michael Knapp, Planning and Development Services Director, spoke to Nelson =s
concern regarding enforcement. Other topics discussed included spot checks; after hour checks;
the follow up process; and the number of enforcements. Dave Wareing, Executive =s Office,
stated the issue of enforcement can be fairly well defined for the Sheriff =s Office so that
Administration would be able to work with them as well as the Planning and Prosecuting
Attorney Offices to define the limits of these regulations and enable the Sheriff =s Office to have
the definition necessary to respond to citizen complaints as they are occurring and take
enforcement action, whether it be a cease and desist order or a citation.

5. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BELLINGHAM
AND WHATCOM COUNTY CONCERNING ANNEXATION AND
DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY OF BELLINGHAM URBAN GROWTH
AREA (AB97 -400)
Starkenburg reported for Planning and Development Committee. He stated this was a
difficult agreement to reach as an annexation is currently before the Boundary Review Board
(BRB). He summarized by stating that committee felt good about the work done except that in
the committee =s point of view, the County comes out of it on the short end financially. Further,
committee recommended approval with the desire to send a letter with the agreement discussing
the items of concern. Committee would like Administration to find some way to work those
concerns in at the next interval of discussions with another annexation. The current annexation
is one in which the County has little to say. The BRB has the record open. He then read the
committee recommendations:
1. Motion to approve the Interlocal Agreement between the city of Bellingham and
Whatcom County concerning annexation and development in the UGA;
2. Authorize the Executive to attach exhibits relating to the description and
reimbursements for the Capital Facilities within the Bakerview/Hannegan
annexation area (Section 1, page 3, contains seven items; #5, the compensation
Regular Council Minutes, 12/9/97, Page 11
for the signal light, should move forward with this and any other Capital Facilities
that need to be cared for in that section);
3. Motion to direct the Executive to send a letter to the city of Bellingham
expressing concerns about:
- adequacy of the revenue - sharing formula to provide adequate funding to
cover the County expenses related to annexation areas as set forth in this
Interlocal;
- Section 2, packet page 64, regarding what the Treasurer would need to
do regarding the LID, ULID, etc. The Treasurer =s concern is the cost that
will be incurred;
- Section 6.1), packet page 67, regarding action that Council must take
next year. There is no legislative authority, and a public hearing must be
held regarding this section; and
- Section 9.C, packet page 68, regarding fire and emergency medical
services.
Starkenburg continued committee elected not to alter the document.
(Clerks Note: Tape 4, Side A)
Starkenburg moved approval of the Agreement.
Motion carried unanimously.
Starkenburg moved to authorize the Executive to include as exhibits the items on packet
page 62, Section 1.5, regarding the signal light, etc.
Motion carried unanimously.
Starkenburg moved to direct the Executive to send a letter to the city of Bellingham
expressing concern about the adequacy of the revenue - sharing formula, which is intended to
provide adequate funding to cover the County =s expenses relating to annexation areas. Nelson
pointed out these relate to the Interlocal Agreement which contains some additional service
requirements or requests Council feels is an inadequate funding source to that which should be
addressed. Starkenburg stated the letter will list those items which were of concern: Section 2.H,
the Treasurer; Section 6.1), the need for some hearing to be held and legislative authority to do
so on the PUD; and Section 9.C, fire and emergency medical.
Motion carried unanimously.
Regular Council Minutes, 12/9/97, Page 12
Starkenburg pointed out the hard work was appreciated, but the problem as Council sees
it is that it is over a three -year period of time only regarding the sales tax, which may look good
on paper. In reality for all the County =s ongoing needed work to help the city move forward,
that additional cost will be fairly great. If the County only obtains sales tax for the first three
years, this would be a little on the light side. As long as there is an understanding, the city needs
to help the County regarding its concerns.
6. ORDINANCE AMENDING THE OFFICIAL WHATCOM COUNTY ZONING
