Other Council Members Present: Absent: Tom Burton Emily Jackson Corky Johnson Will Roehl Dan Warner Mary Vanderpol READING AND APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the September 7 and September 21 regular Council meetings and the September 28 Committee of the Whole were approved as presented. EXECUTIVE ITEMS 1. BID AWARD RECOMMENDATION FOR A FOUR -WHEEL DRIVE SINGLE -AXLE DUMP TRUCK TO THE ONLY BIDDER, MOTOR / TRUCKS, INC., FOR A 1990 INTERNATIONAL MODEL 4800 4 X 4 DUMP TRUCK AT A COST OF $60,170.97, INCLUDING SALES TAX Warner reported that Finance recommended approval of this item. i WARNER MOVED THAT THE ITEM BE APPROVED. % Motion carried. 1A. REPAIRS FOR SALLY PORT OF THE JAIL This item was submitted at the meeting; it was not on the addendum. Executive Shirley Van Zanten said the sally port of the jail leaks into the new Sheriffs Office. Total Concrete Services bid on the project. Warner reported that Finance had discussed this item October 2 and recommended approval. WARNER MOVED THAT THE ITEM BE APPROVED. 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 Johnson reported that Public Services recommended approval of the item. JOHNSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE ITEM. Motion carried. 5. EXECUTIVE'S REPORT Monthly Construction Report: Van Zanten distributed this (on file: CAPITAL PROJECTS). Solid Waste Activity Report: Van Zanten distributed this (on file: SOLID WASTE). 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 Minutes, 10/5/89, Page 6 CUTTING UNTIL THE VISITATION TEAM HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO UP THERE [TO POINT ROBERTS] AND MAKE A REPORT.

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). above. There was some discussion and refinement of Jackson's motion, so that it read as Motion to amend carried, with Warner opposed. Main motion carried. 3.

Motion carried. 4. DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZING THE ADMINISTRATION TO PROCEED WITH THE NECESSARY STEPS FOR ESTABLISHING A MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE FOR THE LAKE WHATCOM WATERSHED COMMITTEE Warner reported that this had been discussed at the September 28 Committee of 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 BY DON HANSEY) Haney said the Council needs to receive the permits and set them for hearing before the Heath Department Advisory Committee.
