6 7. EXECUTIVE'S REPORT
7 Courthouse addition: The bond sale recommendation will probably be brought back
8 to Council at the second meeting in July.
9 Ferry rates: Sutberry said the 1989 ferry rates were to remain in effect with no
10 increase at this time.
11 Handouts: Monthly road report from the Public Works Department.
12 OPEN SESSION
13 Jean Westgate, Cabrant Road, Everson: She stated she is representing twenty
14 families who are concerned about the recent sale of land above them to the Trillium
15 Corporation. She distributed a handout of her talk. She has been advised by a geologist
16 at Western Washington University that this land should not be logged nor developed. There
17 are six streams that come from this mountain into the Sumas River., The water is used as
18 a backup water supply during the summer months. She requests the Council to contact
19 Trillium on their behalf regarding these concerns,.
20 Warner said he would write Trillium stating that the group's concerns. Jackson
21 suggested this group attend to the Timber Forum meetings.
22 Bud Jewell, President of the Lummi Island Ferry group and Community Club: He
23 stated the group concurs that ferry rates can remain as the present level. They had hoped
24 to have a reduction in the rates, but with the need now to have a third man, the surplus will
25 be needed.
26 Cynthia Poppe, 1865 Seacrest Drive: She said there is no law enforcement on the
27 Island and there have been numerous harassment of women situations on the Island mostly
28 between the last ferry at night and the first one in the morning. She would like to have the
29 Council come to a meeting of the Lummi Island Community Club next Wednesday on the
30 Island. The meeting is June 26 with a potluck at 6:30; the meeting is at 7:30. She will
31 arrange to pick up anyone wishing to attend and to provide food for them.
32 Gail Smith: Does not want the Grand Boulevard vacated as they will need the road
33 and would like this discussion delayed until two other interested parties can attend.
34 Carl Jackson, Pt. Roberts: Petitioner for Hearing Examiner appeal and would like
Minutes, 6/11/91, Page 3
1 to let the Council know of the support of the community for the petition. He asked the
2 residents from Point Roberts to stand in support.
3 Dorothy Clement: She spoke in support of the road vacation of Grand Blvd. Water
4 District 10 has already encroached on her property; she has no problem as long as they
5 don't build a pumping station. Mrs. Clement said her vacation will not block Mr. Anderson
6 from his current access.
7 Ben Henkle, 2582 North Shore Road: He said the County has access to interest free
8 money from the United States Treasury. Says the Constitution gives the Congress the power
9 to issue interest free money to local governmental bodies. Lincoln financed the civil war
10 with interest free greenbacks. There is no reason why Whatcom County can't avail itself of
11 these funds.
12 Rita Foley, Blue Canyon Road: She said she sees nothing accomplished by the
13 multitude of studies that have been done. Nielsen Brothers want to log behind Blue Canyon
14 Road. There was a slide nearby that almost took away her house. There have been seven
15 slides since November. It is a very unstable area and steep; soil and rocks crumble and let
16 go everywhere. She spoke to the Forestry Forum this morning. If God takes her, that's one
17 thing but if the Nielsen Brothers do, that is murder because they are aware of the instability
18 of the area. She urged the Council investigate this situation.
19 Al Magnussen, Mt. Baker Foothill Chamber of Commerce: He asked the Council
20 to ban Big Foot hunting. There is a concern as people will be dressed as Big Foot and the
21 Chamber fears for their safety. He gave the Council a petition and a copy of a resolution
22 from another County.
23 ACTION ITEMS -- HEARINGS
24 1. RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE CRITICAL WATER SUPPLY
25 AREA BOUNDARIES FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING A
26 COORDINATED WATER SYSTEM PLAN (AB91 -197) (FIRST OF TWO
27 HEARINGS)
28 Hansey said as the representative of the committee, he would bring this forward. On
29 March 27, the Whatcom Utilities Coordinating Committee (WUCC) took action to adopt
30 the boundaries as a recommendation to the County Council. The motion states that all
31 lands in western Whatcom County would be the boundaries excluding the Lummi
32 Reservation with the exception of the three water associations within the boundaries of the
33 reservation that provide water to fee land owners. This is an unusual situation in that a
34 committee brings this forward, and it will need two public hearings. The Council must
35 determine the boundaries to develop this supply area.
36 Ed Hart, 2809 Haxton Way: Representing a community called Georgia Manor, which
37 is within the boundaries of the Lummi Reservation. They and the Indians have the privilege
38 of voting on County and State issues but have no right to vote on things within the Lummi
Minutes, 6/11/91, Page 4
I Reservation. He has paid taxes for over 30 years and wants to know why the fee land
2 owners are being eliminated from this process.
3 Jeff McKay, 4693 Sucia Drive: He said Hansey suggested the inclusion of the fee
4 lands, but this is not in the Resolution. The fee land owners do not want to be excluded
5 from the critical supply boundaries. He said the residents have no dispute with the tribes.
6 They do need to coordinate with the other water associations within the external boundaries
7 of the reservations. He suggested the Council not be taken in by hidden agendas in the
8 Planning staff.
9 C.R. Frieze, 4038 Mayne Lane: The making by Whatcom County of any agreement
10 with the Lummi Indian Tribe giving the tribe any degree of jurisdiction over the fee simple
11 properties is abdication by the County of its responsibility to a sizeable body of taxpayers
12 and for a portion of the County itself. The resolution ignores the recommendation of the
13 Whatcom Utility Coordinating Committee (WUUC), and that is an abdication of
14 responsibility by the Planning staff. Fifty seven percent of the population of voting age
15 living in the reservation boundaries are non - Indians. When properties are alienated from
16 the reservation by fee simple deed or allocation they, according to the Bureau of Indian
17 Affairs, are no longer part of the reservation but are part of the County. The fee land
18 owners pay taxes to the County and expect to receive representation as well. Fee land
19 owners have no voice in tribal issues and the tribe has no jurisdiction over them. We
20 deserve equal representation from the County.
21 Debbie Kingsley, Program Manager for WUCC: There is no 'conspiracy within the
22 Planning department. The recommendation is that fee simple lands are included within the
23 watershed boundaries. The PUD, Whatcom County Planning, Whatcom County Health and
24 the State Department of Health have submitted letters to the Council asking that anything
25 in the boundaries of the Indian Reservation be excluded. This is done for expediency and
26 using the tax dollars wisely. This becomes an emotional issue. The State Law recommends
27 that voting members of WUCC must be water purveyors who have over 50 hook -ups. Only
28 66 of the 266 purveyors service over 50 hookups, so the greater body is being excluded from
29 voting. Everyone, however, is free to participate in all the discussions. The purveyors must
30 have signed an agreement with adjacent purveyors. The chance of getting signed
31 agreements with the Lummis is relatively low. If they get into lengthy negotiation with the
32 tribe, it will hold up the entire project.
33 Warner, Jackson and Vanderpol discussed this issue with Ms. Kingsley.
34 Hugh Pottle, fee land owner, 5835 Northwest Drive, Ferndale: Wants to clarify one
35 thing; we are not serving capacity on our water system. We are one of the largest water
36 purveyors in the County and want to have a vote with WUCC. Staff does not want to get
37 involved with a jurisdictional dispute.
38 Tom Gallagher, 2813 Haxton Way: He is on the Georgia Manor Water Association
39 with 38 members. We have a right to be represented even if the tribe says leave out the
40 Reservation. Sooner or later you will have to address this issue.
Minutes, 6/11/91, Page 5
1 Jay Leonard Scott, 4477 Sucia Drive: Member of Sandy Point Improvement
2 Company and a fee simple land owner within the external boundaries of the Lummi
3 Reservation. He has felt comfortable with Hugh Pottle's representation of their area. They
4 are very much against the staff leaving out certain areas. This resolution should not be
5 adopted. This is being done to lighten the load of the staff. He has watched this process
6 deteriorate for over two decades and hopes the County and State will accept their
7 responsibility. The boundaries must include representation of all taxpayers in the County
8 on an equal basis.
9 Dan Taylor, Planning Director: Taking the same position as the PUD because a
10 dispute with the Lummis will hold up the plan in the whole area. He suggested excluding
11 Point Roberts as well as they get their water from Canada. Imhof asked how the Lummi
12 land could be opted out when the Indians get much of their water from Bellingham. Taylor
13 said in terms of service that is true, but this will help solve problems that can't be solved
14 now.
15 There was discussion among Warner, Vanderpol, Jackson, Kingsley and Taylor.
16 Hansey said the State established the threshold at 50; all purveyors with over 50
17 hook -ups should have the same entitlement regardless of where their property is located.
18
19 Jackson suggested Planning be at the same hearing to answer any questions.

Imhof reported Public Services recommended this vacation be approved.
HE SO MOVED.
Warner made a friendly amendment, accepted by Imhof, to add "subject to any
private easement rights and to Water District #10's right to maintain its water line" after
"approved."
Watts said this a real touchy area in the law. In 1909 the statute was amended so
anything before 1904 was vacated automatically. What is vacated is the public's ability to
open the road. He stated the last part of the motion was not within the Council's power to
grant.

COUNCIL CONVENES INTO A HEALTH BOARD MEETING THE COUNCIL
CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS INITS CAPACTTYAS THE HEALTHBOARD,
PURSUANT TO WCC 24.01.060.
1. RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY PROCEDURE TO IMPLE-
MENT SECTION 63 OF THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT (AB91 -127)
Hansey reported Water Resources Committee recommended this be approved.
HE SO MOVED.
Minutes, 6/11/91, Page 9
1 Hansey explained the issues saying applicants must have a system to treat the water
2 installed by a Certified Professional Engineer and the water would meet State Standards.
3 He mentioned Dr. James did not attend the meeting.
4 Jackson said if the Health Officer would like to add comments she would recommend
5 offering him some time.
6 Dr. James said you cannot guard against certain things in water unless you treat
7 specifically for them. He said having a licensed engineer design the system is not enough;
8 it would need to be reviewed once installed.
9 There was discussion among Imhof, Blake and James on methods of attaining a safe
10 water supply.
11 WARNER MOVED TO REFER THIS BACK TO THE COMMITTEE TO GET
12 MORE INFORMATION ON THE EFFICACY AND ADMINISTRABILITY FROM AN
13 INDEPENDENT HEALTH AUTHORITY.
14 Jackson said she does not think the committee can come to an agreement with the
15 Health Officer.
16 Dr. James said he thinks it needs a permanent ordinance. He said they would
17 prepare a draft ordinance by July 27th. Haney said we have a philosophical disagreement
18 with Dr. James on this issue. He said people are being punished unnecessarily as they
19 cannot get building permits. Haney said he thinks the motion to refer should be voted
20 down and Council should vote on the resolution.
/' 1 There was further discussion among Blake, Vanderpol and James on the safety of
22 surface water.
23 Vanderpol said it could be pointed out that applicants may have to join a water
24 system. Imhof said, however, they should be permitted to use lake water for non - potable
25 uses and buy bottled water for drinking.
26 Jackson asked Watts about the powers of the Health Board; Watts said whenever
27 the Council acts as the Health board, it acts on resolution. Only as the Council can it adopt
28 ordinances. There has to be an appeals process to protect the rights of the applicant.
29 Lonnie Barratt, 1400 Moore Street: The issue here seems to be we are looking at
30 two different things. The treatment of contaminated water which can be treated and
31 corrected. The other thing they have brought up repeatedly is long -term problems brought
32 on by long -term chemical contaminants. The Bellingham treatment plant does not have the
33 facilities to correct this. No one is addressing long -term problems from pesticides.
34 The motion to refer failed 6 -1 with Warner voting for it.
35 Warner said the Sewage Control Board of Appeals would be an appropriate group
36 to have this reviewed by.
Minutes, 6/11/91, Page 10
1 HE SO MOVED.
2 The motion failed 2 -5 with Jackson and Warner voting for it.
3 Laidlaw proposed we issue conditional permits if water meets state and county water
4 quality. Vander Yacht said it would not work as this applies to people with shallow wells.
5 There was discussion about water quality and the potential liabilities.
6 JACKSON MOVED AN AMENDMENT TO PAGE 146: THE APPLICANT
7 SHALL POST A BOND OF $500 WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO COVER
8 WATER TREATMENT, AND IF THE WATER TESTS FAIL THREE CONSECUTIVE
9 TRAES, THE APPLICANT SHALL SHOW PROOF OF ALTERNATE DOMESTIC
10 WATER SUPPLY UNTIL EVIDENCE OF A PASSING WATER TEST CAN BE
11 PRODUCED.
12 After discussion, Jackson withdrew the motion to amend.
13 Dr. James pointed out the need to address water rights, to deal with water borne
14 gastro- intestinal problems, to resolve the issue of installations with review requirements, etc.
15 All Council Members, Dr. James, and Blake discussed the issues of bottled water,
16 building permits, and water rights.
17 There was a brief discussion of the Sasquatch issue but it was decided it could not
18 be discussed as the Health Board.
19 JACKSON MOVED FOR IMMEDIATE VOTE ON THE RESOLUTION.
20 The motion failed 4 -3 with Vander Yacht, Hansey and Jackson voting for it.
21 VANDERPOL MOVED A SUBSTITUTE POLICY TO ALLOW THAT
22 BUILDING PERMITS BE ISSUED IF APPLICANTS USE SURFACE WATER FOR
23 NON - POTABLE USE AND BOTTLED WATER FOR DRINKING WATER.
24 Vanderpol said it would be stated the applicant would need to comply when an
25 ordinance comes into place.
26 Jan Omey said there are 200 people who have applications in the Lake Samish area;
27 there are 450 homes on Lake Samish with only 100 water rights.
28 There was discussion among Dr. James, Hansey, Warner, Blake, Vander Yacht about
29 installation, review and monitoring to comply with Group B water standards, surface water,
30 etc.
1 Fenton Norman, P.E., said the installers always put a stamp on their drawings, and
Minutes, 6/11/91, Page 11
1 always review the work; he said their license is at stake.
2 There was further discussion among Imhof, Laidlaw, Hansey, Warner and Jackson
3 regarding a "no- protest" clause, enforcement, etc.
4 The motion failed 3-4 with Imhof, Vanderpol and Laidlaw voting for it.
5 The main motion failed 3-4 with Hansey, Vander Yacht and Jackson voting for it.
6 LAIDLAW MOVED THE HEALTH BOARD OVERTURN THE POLICY OF
7 THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT REGARDING THE INTERIM WATER
8 AVAILABILITY POLICY AND PROCEDURES FOR BUILDING PERMITS IN
9 SECTION 63.
10 Jackson and Warner said they feared this is voting to not uphold the law. Watts said
11 this is going back to a way that is no longer allowed.
12 The motion carried 4 -3 with Jackson, Vanderpol and Warner against it.
13 HANSEY MOVED THE CHAIRMAN ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY
14 COUNCIL WRITE A LETTER TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT ASKING FOR AN
15 INTERIM POLICY FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF SECTION 63.
6 Hansey withdrew his motion.
17 Jackson asked Watts if the decision just reached by Council to overturn the interim
18 water availability policy and procedures for building permits was legal; Watts said it was not
19 legal.
20 RECONVENED AS COUNCIL.
