5. ROEDERLAND DISCUSSION
Jan Sperry said she had discussed this with the other
residents in Roederland, and they are generally happy with the
proposal other than the quote from Wilder. They cannot understand
why their price has gone up $9,000 from $11,000 to $20,000. She
had checked with Hansen from Wilder Construction and he had said
it shouldn't have gone up more than $1,000. Tyler from Buildings
and Codes had stated that they had asked for the estimate based on
three quarters of a mile. Sperry said they measured it and the
road measures less than four tenths of a mile. Tyler had told her
that the $5,025 is the figure that the County will pay for sure to
have Roederland chip sealed and that Sperry wanted that reflected
in the minutes.
6. ROY VON SCHOTTENSTEIN AND GLEN JOHNSON REPRESENTING THE
LAKE WHATCOM SAFETY AND PRESERVATION ASSOCIATION
It seemed appropriate to come after the fatal accident that
occurred on Lake Whatcom Boulevard. This accident was not amazing
when we watch the speed people drive on this road. If a deputy is
in the area the traffic slows but of course it isn't practical to
have an officer there constantly. He believes the only viable
solution is an alternate route. They do not want to close Lake
Whatcom Boulevard but it was built in 1913 and just cannot be used
as a speedway- throughway to Sudden Valley. It is imperative than
an alternate route be used as a connector. They have the
endorsement of the Board of the Firs and the local School
Administration. It is not the volume of traffic but the speed of
traffic that concerns them.
7. JOHN LEIBRANT REGARDING CEDARVILLE LANDFILL
Leibrant asked when the meeting would be held to discuss the
results of the Health assessment of Cedarville. No -one was aware
of the date.
Meeting was adjourned at 6:50 p.m.
