SPECIAL PRESENTATION
SPECIAL PRESENTATION BY THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS (COG) ON
COMMUTE TRIP REDUCTION PROGRAMS (CTR) (AB96 -398)
Gordon Rogers, Council of Governments, gave the presentation. The Commute Trip
Reduction Law was enacted in 1991, which requires major employers to discover ways to reduce
the number of commute trips to work sites. A major employer is classified as one who employs
100 or more employees arriving at a single work site between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. for 12
consecutive months. The goals of this legislation are to improve air quality, reduce traffic
congestion, and reduce fuel consumption. The law affects only those counties with a population
of 150,000 or more. COG was requested by the County Executive to act as lead agency for this
law. In January, COG will return to the Council to adopt an ordinance associated with this law.
There are no penalties in the law; individual counties are expected to enact their own penalties for
employers who do not comply. Implementation of this program is not expected until February or
early March (handout on file).
Regular Council Minutes, 11/26/96, Page 1
Discussion followed. Topics discussed included: CTR budget; coordination with WTA;
measurement of trip reduction; and this project seen as "another regulation ".
Susan Horst, who will be working with COG on this project, gave a brief resume.

21 PUBLIC HEARING
22
23 1. ORDINANCE IN THE MATTER OF ADOPTION OF THE FINAL
.4 WHATCOM COUNTY BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1997 (AB96 -367)
25
26 Imhof gave a background of the Finance and Administrative Services Committee meetings
27 that have been held, as well as a brief overview of the budget. There is an approximate $86
28 million dollar budget with Current Expense running just above $4.1 million. There is a $100,000
29 supplemental reserve for the Executive's Office. This budget contains one additional FTE in
30 Planning and Development Services for a Permit Coordinator, which will be paid by the Unified
31 Fee Schedule fees generated by the position. The Superior Court Commissioners' salaries are tied
32 to Superior Court Judges' salaries. Combined Treatment and Developmental Disabilities are
33 combined into the Health Department. The recommendation of the Flood Control Zone District
34 is to keep fees the same as last year. The recommendation is to give $50,000 to Bellingham and
35 $5,000 to Blaine for flooding or surface water problems. An additional $800,000 is budgeted for
36 criminal justice funding. Five hundred dollars was added to each Council member's travel budget
37 in order for them to represent the County.
38
39 Dave Wareing gave an overview of the budget. Topics discussed included: one -time
40 expenditures; cash flow reserves; changes in revenue; changes in expenditures; and changes to the
41 budget ordinance (handout on file).
42
43 Nelson opened the public hearing, and the following people spoke:
Regular Council Minutes, 11/26/96, Page 4
I Marvin Wolf, 5413 Barr Road: The $210,000 proposed to switch from Parks to Criminal
2 Justice should be held in reserve until the Executive Select Blue Ribbon Panel on Criminal Justice
3 and Public Safety completes its studies and makes its recommendations.
4
5 Jim Graeser, 1100 Roland Street, speaking for Mr. Janey and Mr. Davis: He supported
6 the Parks Department budget as submitted. WAKE'S (Washington Association of Kayak
7 Enthusiasts) safety record has been impeccable due to Whatcom County programs.
9 Steve Hindman, 1200 -32nd Street: He supported funding of the Parks Department as
10 submitted. The proposed change in funding is short by about $100,000, since the programs
11 targeted also bring in fees. Many people come to the County because of the Parks program. The
12 Outdoor Program brings a similar benefit, such as the proposed Skate Park.
13
14 Rob Lopresti, 1225 Undine St.: He stated he would rather spend his tax money on
15 programs to prevent criminal activity, such as the Parks Department provide.
16
17 Ray Wilkett, 780 Adelia St., Blaine: He spoke against giving flood control money to
18 Blaine and questioned if the study done by the Shellfish Protection Committee includes water
19 coming from White Rock, B.C. and animal waste. There are no dairy farms in the Blaine area.
20
21 Egbert Maas, 401 B.C. Avenue, Lynden: He represents a Blue Ribbon Panel on criminal
22 justice issues and requested Council wait to make their decisions on criminal justice until the
23 Committee puts forward its recommendations. He requested Council approve the budget as it is
24 presented.
25
26 Kristi Warren, 411 York St., representing the RSVP and Whatcom Volunteer Center:
27 She noted that 24% of the hours volunteered are put into Whatcom County departments and that
28 volunteers are available to help.
29
30 Kay Sardo, 490 S. State Street: She yielded her time to Rebecca Johnson.
31
32 Rebecca Johnson, 2804 Iowa Dr.: She requested Council help fund the building gap to
33 house women and children who are victims of domestic violence. The operating costs have been
34 covered by HUD. The City of Bellingham, State Housing and Finance Commission, and Federal
35 Home Loan Program have all contributed to the capital facility costs. If the County provided
36 $50,000, savings would occur in criminal justice costs from potential cases that could be avoided.
37
38 Kay Sardo, 490 S. State Street: She stated that an assurance would be welcome if the
39 funding could be brought forward in 1998.
40
41 Leslie Clark, 1364 Chuckanut Dr., representing People for Parks Recreation and
42 Senior /Community Centers: There is a diverse cross section of the County that support the Parks
43 Department. The recent vote to approve the Conservation Futures Fund shows public support to
Regular Council Minutes, 11/26/96, Page 5
I park issues. She gave background on the Roeder Home and its cultural arts program, along with
2 the Outdoor Program. She urged Council adopt the Executive's recommended budget.
4 Dan Taylor, 717 -15th Street: He supported the Executive's budget in Parks.
5
6 (Clerk's Note: A five- minute break was taken.)
7
8 Bass Scholten, 3105 E. Badger Road, Everson, representing the Whatcom Conservation
9 District Board: He gave background information on his organization. He is actively working to
10 improve several creeks in the area and asked the Council for stable funding in the future.
11
12 Veronica Wisniewski, 6361 Hannegan Road, Lynden: She gave background information
13 on the Whatcom Conservation District. Some issues to be dealt with in the future include dairy
14 waste, drainage, and starling control. She requested a stable funding base from the County in the
15 future.
16
17 Joan Tezak, 1380 Roy Road: She spoke regarding Brown's proposed amendments. The
18 public has proven that funding Parks is not a lesser priority. She encouraged support of the Parks
19 Department.
20
21 Ron Riggens, 1470 Lottie Drive: He stated that there is an unrecognized, immense
22 economic benefit to the Parks opportunities. Public support is evidenced by the passage of the
23 Lynden Park District, passage of the Conservation Futures funding, and the write -in campaign.
Parks, recreation, and open space are essential to the County. He urged Council adopt the
z5 proposed budget.
26
27 Leslie Clark read a letter into the record for Dave Schmalz regarding support of the Parks
28 Department budget (on file).
29
30 Hearing no one else, Nelson closed the public hearing.
31
32 Pete Kremen, Executive, thanked Council for helping him put forth the best possible
33 budget. Kremen also thanked elected officials and department heads for their assistance. He
34 noted the criminal justice system needs to be addressed from a wider scope. Parks operations are
35 also important. Investment to Parks & Recreation programs provides opportunity not only to
36 families in the community but also creates an attraction for desirable businesses and companies to
37 locate to Whatcom County, which builds and makes the local economy stronger. He stated the
38 proposed budget is sound and urged Council to approve the budget.
39
40 Imhof moved approval of the ordinance.
41
42 Brenner moved to amend by eliminating the $100,000 reserve for supplementals from the
43 Executive's budget. She moved $50,000 go to the one -time funding for capital program for
Regular Council Minutes, 11/26/96, Page 6
domestic violence; $25,000 of that should go to the Conservation District; and $25,000 to the
Rainy Day Fund.
Imhof spoke against the amendment and stated that the County should look for block
grant money to supplement funding to the domestic violence group. The Conservation District
should come forward with specific programs it will work on.
Kremen clarified for Council that the Opportunity Council did not put forth their request
for funding until November 1. The Executive's Office has committed to the Opportunity Council
to recommend $50,000 to the domestic violence shelter. There was brief discussion.
Brenner changed her amendment to $25,000 for this year and $25,000 for next year to the
domestic violence project. There was discussion. Brown stated that if we have the funds now,
they should be committed at this time. Nelson stated that he would like more time to look at this
proposal. Dan Gibson, Prosecuting Attorney, stated that government cannot make gifts of public
funds. Typically, there should be a contract for services when working with agencies.
Motion failed 2 -5 with Dawson and Brenner in favor.
Starkenburg asked for clarification for property tax revenue and if this revenue falls short,
where the cuts will be made. Wareing stated that if shortfalls occur, then Administration would
look to unexpended appropriations. Spending would be curtailed and the reserve would be a
buffer.
Brenner moved to amend by removing the $100,000 reserve from the Executive's budget.
Motion to amend failed 2 -5 with Brenner and Brown in favor.
Brenner moved to amend by eliminating the extra $3,500 from the Council travel budget.
Imhof, Brown, Dawson and Nelson spoke in favor of the funding to the budget.
Motion to amend failed 1- 6 with Brenner in favor.
Brenner moved to amend by eliminating the extra FTE's in the Prosecutor's Office and
transfer the amount to add two clerk positions to the Superior Court.
Imhof stated that there is a group of people looking to what should be done in the courts.
Council should wait for an overall report and recommendations on how to deal with the criminal
justice problems.
Motion to amend failed 2 -5 with Brenner and Brown in favor.
Regular Council Minutes, 11/26/96, Page 7
I Brenner moved to amend by increasing the position in the Auditor's Office to one FTE.
2
3 Motion to amend failed 2 -5 with Brown and Brenner in favor.
4
5 Imhof moved to amend by eliminating the 0.5 FTE in the Auditor's Office.
6
7 Wareing clarified that initially the position was not recommended. However, the
8 Administration learned that 1.5 positions - -not 2 - -were dedicated to District Auditing Services,
9 which are to be moved to ADS.
10
11 Motion to amend failed 1 -6 with Imhof in favor.
12
13 Brown moved to amend by combining all the emergency reserves to a total of $2.25
14 million dollars. He proposed moving the cash flow into the Emergency Reserve Account and
15 moving $250,000 from the Contingency Reserve into the Emergency Reserve.
16
17 Starkenburg stated that there needs to be at least $1 million in cash flow to carry over for
18 the tax periods. Emergency reserve, contingency reserve, and cash flow reserve terms mean
19 different things. Nelson stated an ordinance was passed restricting the use of emergency reserve
20 funds. Brown stated that $250,000 would be left in the Contingency Fund.
21
22 Motion to amend failed 2 -5 with Brown and Brenner in favor.
23
,4 Brown moved to amend by moving $50,000 from the Executive budget and $50,000 into
25 the Emergency Reserve Account.
26
27 Motion failed 3 -4 with Dawson, Brown and Brenner in favor.
28
29 Brown moved to amend by funding the Auditor's Office for $20,000 to prepare a voters
30 pamphlet for the general election in 1997, which would be a supplement to the state voters
31 pamphlet. The $20,000 would be appropriated from the Unreserved Fund Balance.
32
33 . Discussion followed. Starkenburg stated he would rather have the Administration bring it
34 forward in a package at a later date. Shirley Forslof, Auditor, stated that an ordinance would
35 have to be passed authorizing the pamphlet. Costs are shared with other jurisdictions which may
36 be holding an election. The Auditor does not have sufficient staff to produce the pamphlet in-
37 house and would have to contract out for the development of a pamphlet.
38
39 Nelson asked Brown as a friendly amendment to move this as a supplemental request to
40 the Administration, which Brown accepted.
41
42 Motion to approve carried 6 -1 with Brenner opposed.
43
Regular Council Minutes, 11/26/96, Page 8
Brown stated that the County needs to step in now in to support the criminal justice issue;
2 otherwise the result will be a need to increase taxes.
4 Brown moved to amend by moving $92,816 from Parks Fund 6001 and $109,828 from
5 Parks Fund 6015 to increase Superior Court for a total of $202,644. Funding for preparation of
6 the courtroom should be appropriated from the Unreserved Fund Balance.
7
8 There was discussion. Brenner stated that the park service provides preventative medicine
9 and should not be changed. Nelson stated that there is a need for the study being done by the
10 Blue Ribbon Panel on Criminal Justice. There needs to be an overall examination of the entire
11 problem. Starkenburg stated that the County needs to look at the larger picture. Currently, the
12 County is best to leave it as it is and then look at the Blue Ribbon Panel.
13
14 Motion to amend failed 1 -6 with Brown in favor.
15
16 Brown moved to amend that an additional $4,500 be appropriated to the Council Office
17 budget to hold additional Council meetings in the outlying areas of the County. The cost would
18 cover renting space, improved advertising of the meetings, and purchase of a portable sound
19 system for the office.
20
21 Discussion followed. Brenner stated that this is a good use of money and supported the
22 amendment. Dawson stated that she is opposed. Imhof and Nelson stated that this needs to be
23 dealt with in a supplemental budget later in the year. Brenner stated that many successful
meetings in the County have been held in the past.
25
26 Motion to amend carried 5 -2 with Imhof and Dawson opposed.
27
28 Brown moved to amend by reducing funding to the Convention Center Fund by $75,000
29 and moved these funds be set aside for the purchase and development of a softball little league
30 sports complex with the possible inclusion of in -line skating and skateboard park.
31
32 There was discussion on the motion. Brenner spoke about the proposed skateboard park.
33 Imhof noted the earlier caution of the giveaway of public funds.
34
35 Motion failed 2 -5 with Brown and Brenner in favor.
36
37 Brown moved to amend by deleting the proposed Permit Coordinator position. He is
38 opposed to a new permit fee.
39
40 There was discussion. Brenner spoke in favor of the amendment. Michael Knapp,
41 Planning and Development Services, stated that this permit will actually lower the cost by
42 reducing the bottlenecks and timeframe, which reduces the interest charged to homeowners costs.
43 This will be monitored for one year. Whatcom County has the lowest fee schedule in any other
Regular Council Minutes, 11/26/96, Page 9
Motion to amend failed 2 -5 with Brown and Brenner opposed.
Brown moved to amend by reducing the transfer of Road Funds to Sheriffs Office by
$35,000 and supplement those funds with $35,000 from the solid waste surcharge revenues. The
$35,000 which would now remain in the Road Fund should be used to bid for an updated County
road map.
Discussion followed. Sutter stated that the Sheriffs Office doesn't have the staff to pull
someone off other duties to enforce secured load law.
Motion to amend failed 1- 6 with Brown in favor:
Brenner moved to amend by taking $35,000 out of the Unreserved Fund to go out to bid
to get an updated County road map.
