Motion carried.
2. REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO AN
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING A MENTAL HEALTH
REGIONAL SUPPORT NETWORK FOR ISLAND, SAN JUAN, SKAGIT,
SNOHOMISH AND WHATCOM COUNTIES
Minutes, 10/5/89, Page 2
Van Zanten said this five - county interlocal agreement would establish a regional
mental health network, known as the North Sound Regional Support Network. Several
boards and committees, containing representatives from all five counties, would be set
up to make sure no one county had more control than another. Federal and state funds,
instead of going to each individual county, would go to the Regional Support Network.
Van Zanten suggested that the agreement be authorized, subject to final language for
section six drafted to the satisfaction of Randy Watts.
WARNER MOVED TO RECOMMEND AUTHORIZATION.
There was discussion. Warner said a Mrs. Winslow, who wrote to the Council,
commented about the inadequate treatment for people with dimentia. He asked Peggy
Ball, Combined Treatment Services Director, to comment on this, and also to explain if
the county would lose local control as a result of this agreement.
Ball said people affected by dimentia are not adequately served by the mental
health system today. People in related support groups say they are afraid they will lose
input into the system if there is regionalization, but actually they still will have input.
The new regional system will actually help in the area of acute care more than anything
else, she said. Eventually, she said, the mental health department locally would "wither
away." She said the Mount Baker Highway center for psychiatric care still would exist,
in addition to local half -way houses.
Johnson said he would vote against the motion. He said the Northwest Regional
Council, a four - county organization (Snohomish County doesn't belong), should take on
the new responsibilities. He said Snohomish County should not be included.
ROEHL MOVED THAT THE COUNCIL SET THE MATTER OVER TO A
SPECIAL MEETING NEXT WEEK WHERE THE COUNCIL COULD TAKE
ACTION.
Roehl said he thought further analysis is needed. There was discussion. Hansey
pointed out that next week, the Executive and two Council members would not be able
to attend a special meeting. There was more discussion.
Vanderpol pointed out that several months ago the Council voted to have a five -
county system, so that issue is dead. He said time is of the essence and that he would
vote against Roehl's motion. Roehl said he had not been as closely involved with the
process as had Vanderpol, then he asked Vanderpol if he were comfortable with the
process. Vanderpol said yes. Roehl asked Vanderpol if he had talked with Mrs.
Winslow or read her letter. Vanderpol said no, but that he thought her points were
not relevant to the formation of the regional system. Vanderpol said the Council could
not take a vote at the Committee of the Whole next week, and it would be too much
of a last- minute vote if Council waited until October 19. Haney said it could be
advertised as a special meeting. There was more discussion.
Roehl withdrew his motion.
Minutes, 10/5/89, Page 3
WARNER MOVED TO AMEND HIS MOTION TO ADD THE WORDS,
"SUBJECT TO FINAL LANGUAGE FOR SECTION SIX DRAFTED TO THE
SATISFACTION OF RANDY WATTS."
Hansey said those words would be considered a part of the main motion. There
was more discussion about the Northwest Regional Council and the new system. Hansey
restated the full motion.
Motion carried, with Johnson and Jackson opposed.
4. APPOINTMENTS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE
NORTH SOUND REGIONAL SUPPORT NETWORK PER
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
Van Zanten said if the board members are appointed, meetings can begin in
November. She suggested that herself and one Council member, or two Council
members, or herself, one Council member and one Council member - alternate be
appointed.
WARNER MOVED TO APPOINT THE EXECUTIVE AND VANDERPOL,
WITH WARNER AS AN ALTERNATE.
There was minor discussion. Van Zanten said this will be an annual appointment.
Motion carried.
3. NEW APPOINTMENT OF PAUL AASE TO AN EXISTING VACANCY
ON THE WHATCOM COUNTY T. V. RECEPTION IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT I BOARD. THE APPOINTMENT WOULD BE EFFECTIVE
IMMEDIATELY AND RUN TO 8/31/91

PROJECTS).

Assessor Honored: Keith Willnauer was elected president of the Puget Sound
Minutes, 10/5/89, Page 4
segment of the State Assessor's Association.
Employee Honored: Jan Dahl of the Health Department was elected president
of the state Public Health Association.
Stewart Mountain Landfill Siting: Johnson asked if a specific site and size of the
proposed landfill on Stewart Mountain is ready. Van Zanten said she asked Harper -
Owes to identify a maximum of 200 acres and put it on a map. She said she would give
a copy to the Council when it is available. Jackson asked questions about the size and
the option to buy the land.
Health Surveys - Cedarville: Warner said he heard on the radio that the state
Department of Social and Health Services is surveying the Cedarville area again. He
said he thought the Council had been told two months ago that DSHS had studied the
area and found nothing wrong. Van Zanten said the report raised questions about the
quality of water in the area, so on their own DSHS is studying the matter father. She
said she would report to the Council as soon as she learned anything about the study.
Water Testing Questions: Jackson said she read in the Bellingham Herald about
disputes over how the County tests its water samples. Van Zanten said all water tests
are filtered when taken by the County. John Liebrant's samples were not filtered prior
to testing. She said the Health Department is looking at Mr. Liebrant's test results and
trying to figure out what the differences are from the County's reports.
*SPECIAL DEPARTMENT REPORT*
PRESENTATION BY THE WHATCOM COUNTY NOXIOUS WEED BOARD
Laurel Baldwin of the Weed Board presented an educational slide show about
Tansy Ragwort and Knapweed, among other weeds that cause problems for the county.
OPEN SESSION
Fred Corrick
4704 Sand Road
Said the option for the Stewart Mountain proposed landfill site is for 1,000 acres.
He thought the Council should get a legal opinion as to whether this means the County
can buy a portion of that acreage or if it must buy the whole thing.
Jim Maricle
3326 Cedarville Rd.
The other report being prepared by DSHS is at the request of the Concerned
Cedarville Citizens. The first report said there was not a problem, so the group wants
DSHS to anaylze water and find if Cedarville is causing troubles or if something else is.
Minutes, 10/5/89, Page 5
(Unclear) Fairchild
1414 Oriental
Worried about possible destruction of the Point Roberts heron rookery. Urged
the Council to reject logging permits in that area.
Brad Salter
429 Marine Drive, Point Roberts
Urged Council to specifically do something about the logging permit granted for
35 acres in Point Roberts. The permit was acted on too quickly, he said. Salter's
comments were lengthy; Hansey reminded him several times that other citizens wanted
to speak, and that the 15 minutes set aside for open session was passing. After more
comments, Salter presented the Council with a petition bearing 100 signatures asking the
County to request the Department of Natural Resources to issue a stop work order.
Dusty Anderson
2929 Goshen Road
Wanted to know if the County had a plan in the event tests taken by Harper and
Owes showed contamination of water in the Cedarville area. Roehl said there is not a
plan of that sort. Anderson asked if the County plans to wait until an emergency exists
before doing anything about such a possibility. Warner said she had a good point and
that a plan should be worked on.
Marie Burns
No address given
Agreed with Salter. Impact of logging in Point Roberts may need to be
considered in an environmental impact statement.
Martin Keeley
Point Roberts
Agreed with Salter. He wanted the Regency permit revoked and all other permits
rejected. He requested that an EIS be done.
Dan Taylor
Planning Director
Said Planning approved the Regency permit in August, although Planning would
have held it with other permits if it had known how many would be filed. Planning
would stick by its decision, however. A team of investigators, including someone from
Planning, Building and Code, Dept. of Wildlife and others, will visit the site next week,
he said. If the team determines that the environmental impact is larger than was
anticipated, it will request that the permit be revoked.
There was extensive discussion of the logging issue. Taylor said if the Council
directed him to do so, he would ask the Department of Natural Resources to issue a
stop work order. There was more discussion.
JACKSON MOVED TO REQUEST THE ADMINISTRATION TO PERMIT
THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO REQUEST A DELAY OF FURTHER

OTHER BUSINESS
1. REQUEST FOR COUNCIL APPOINTMENT OF JACK WEISS TO
Minutes, 10/5/89, Page 10
COMPLETE THE UNEXPIRED TERM OF BARBARA FORD ON THE
COUNTY NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL BOARD
Hansey explained the process for appointing someone to fill a vacancy on the
Weed Board. Johnson said Public Services recommended appointment.
JACKSON MOVED THAT WEISS BE APPOINTED.
Haney asked if there was consensus to suspend the rules so that the appointment
could be voted on tonight; there was no objection.
Motion carried.
2. RECEIPT OF HEARING EXAMINER'S RECOMMENDATION ON A
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FILED BY GULF VIEW
PROPERTIES (DECISION ON NEXT STEP MUST BE MADE THIS
EVENING; CHOICES ARE DETAILED IN THE PACKET)
Haney suggested that this item be discussed by the Committee of the Whole.
Haney said this would allow for a more informal setting.
ROEHL MOVED THAT THE DISCUSSION OF THIS ITEM TAKE PLACE
IN A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE SEGMENT OF THE MEETING.
Warner asked why the motion was necessary, and why the Council could not
merely discuss the matter informally. He said it seemed odd to go into a Committee of
the Whole meeting in this manner. Johnson asked if the Council could ask more
question as a Committee of the Whole. The response was no.
Motion carried, with Warner opposed.
Hansey asked Chuck Snyder, Hearing Examiner, to address the Council. Jackson
asked if there would be an opportunity for members of the audience to address the
Committee of the Whole; Haney said if Council members wished to ask questions of
people in the audience, they could.
Burton questioned Snyder about condition numbers 14 and 23. Snyder said
condition 14 would make the developer share in a portion of the costs for improvements
to roads leading into Point Roberts, since he felt the development would have an impact
on traffic. There was discussion by Roehl and Jackson. Snyder suggested that one
solution would be to put a time limit on the duty to pay for part of the improvements,
an expiration date to that condition.
Condition 23 established a deadline for the developer to work against. Eighteen
months was a figure provided by the developer; they could apply for an extension, if they
show good cause. Haney asked about the penalty clause in the decision. Snyder said
Minutes, 10/5/89, Page 11
it was standard to include the clause in his decisions. Burton asked questions about
condition 12; there was discussion.
Chief Civil Deputy Prosecutor Randy Watts said the applicant could waive the 10-
day limitation on the Council for taking action on this matter.
Roehl asked about the buffer for the heron rookery. In a letter from the
applicant's attorney, the applicant said the buffer was excessive. Snyder said he asked
at the hearing if the developer could get by with a larger buffer between the
development and the heron rookery. The developer had responded that it would mean
the loss of a few condominiums. There was more discussion.
Warner noted that this may be the Council's last opportunity to commend Snyder
for a job well done; Snyder will become a Superior Court Commissioner on November
1.
BURTON MOVED THAT THE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT BE GRANTED.
BURTON MOVED TO AMEND THE HEARING EXAMINER'S
RECOMMENDATIONS BY CHANGING THE 18 -MONTH DEADLINE TO 30
MONTHS, IN CONDITION 23.
Motion to amend carried.
BURTON MOVED TO AMEND THE HEARING EXAMINER'S
RECOMMENDATIONS BY STRIKING CONDITION 14.
Burton said he thought compelling the developers to help pay for road
improvements was breaking new territory and should not be done.
Roehl spoke against the motion to amend. He said it would be more reasonable
to exclude right -of -way acquisition and put an expiration date on the condition. He said
the developer will contribute to, and profit from, increased traffic at the Point Roberts
border crossing.
Motion to amend failed, with Burton the only favorable vote.
JACKSON MOVED TO AMEND CONDITION 14 SO THAT THE
CONTRIBUTION WOULD BE HALF OF THAT FRACTION RECOMMENDED BY
THE HEARING EXAMINER (LINE 3, PAGE 24).

There was some discussion and refinement of Jackson's motion, so that it read as
Motion to amend carried, with Warner opposed.

the Whole meeting, as well.
WARNER MOVED TO ADOPT THE ADMINISTRATION'S
RECOMMENDATIONS [REGARDING THE LAKE WHATCOM WATERSHED
MANAGEMENT], ASSIGNING THE TASK OF WATERSHED MANAGEMENT TO
THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AND THAT THE MATTER BE CONSIDERED A
COUNTY -WIDE WATER RESOURCE ISSUE; THE INITIAL FOCUS SHALL BE
THE LAKE WHATCOM WATERSHED.
There was some discussion.
Motion carried.
ADD: 5. WATER DISTRICT 11 - NEED TO SEEK COMMISSIONERS FOR
(REQUESTED BY RANDY WATTS)
This district exists at Sandy Point but it doesn't distribute any water. As a result
of an effort to form a water district year ago, the Lummi Tribe filed suit and was
successful in stopping the district from becoming a water purveyor. In the years since,
district residents have been taxed in order to pay off the lawsuit settlement. The three
commissioners have left the area; so now we have a water district without water and
without commissioners. Watts asked the Council to publish the vacancies, then make
appointments to the positions.
ROEHL MOVED TO HAVE NOTICES POSTED TO ATTRACT
VOLUNTEERS FOR THE COMMISSIONERS' POSITIONS.
Hansey directed the clerk to publish this matter as appropriate.
Minutes, 10/5/89, Page 13
ADD: 6. RECEIPT OF SOLID WASTE PERMIT APPLICATIONS
FROM HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AND SETTING THE
RELATED PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE HEALTH
DEPARTMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE (REQUESTED

before the Heath Department Advisory Committee.
WARNER MOVED TO ACCEPT THE PERMITS AND SET THEM FOR
HEARING AT 8 A.M. OCTOBER 23 BEFORE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
There was some discussion. Jackson raised concerns about the time limitations
imposed by the state Department of Ecology for review.
ROEHL MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO REQUEST THAT THE
APPLICATIONS BE IMMEDIATELY FORWARDED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
ECOLOGY.
Haney said that would be included in the main motion.
Motion carried.
