Announcements
Committee Discussion and Recommendation to Council
1. AB2021-617 Resolution certifying amounts to be levied by Whatcom County taxing districts to the
County Assessor
Rebecca Xczar, County Assessor, briefed the Councilmembers on Exhibit
A of the resolution and stated the Ferndale School District numbers were
missing on their exhibit as of this morning so that had not yet been
reviewed.
Donovan moved and Browne seconded that the RESOLUTION be
APPROVED.
Xczar answered whether it would be a problem if they approve the
resolution before the Ferndale numbers are reviewed and why the Assessor
is limited to only significant changes as stated in the last paragraph of the
resolution.
Browne moved to amend the resolution to strike the word "significantly" (in
the last paragraph). The motion was seconded by Donovan.
Councilmembers discussed the motion.
The motion to amend carried by the following vote:
Aye: 6 - Browne, Buchanan, Byrd, Donovan, Frazey, and Kershner
Nay: 1 - Elenbaas
Councilmembers voted on the resolution as amended (see motion and vote
