SUMMARY STATEMENT OR LEGAL NOTICE LANGUAGE:
Ordinance to correct a scrivener's error in Whatcom County Ordinance 1987-009 An Ordinance

During preparations for the E. Smith Road Pavement Rehabilitation Project it was discovered that a

page listed a stop sign as located at Everson Goshen Road southbound at E. Hemmi Road where it
should have been listed as located at Everson Goshen Road southbound at E. Smith Road. This
ordinance will correct that error and allow for the installation to reestablish all -way stop control at
Everson Goshen Road and E. Smith Road intersection
