Services Committee
Ann Beck, Health Department, answered whether the Opportunity Council
will be providing staff to work full time with homeless veterans and case
management, whether this is a new program, whether the Opportunity
Council is doing this program for any other jurisdiction, and whether this
program existed before this contract.
Byrd spoke about looking for other organizations to contract with since this
is a new program and experience is not as much of an issue.
Beck stated the Opportunity Council is really well -versed in working with
veteran's programming but she would whole-heartedly welcome building
more capacity in this community. She stated they struggle with veterans
programming in our community. There is a veteran's service officer they
have been trying to contract with through a Request for Proposal (RFP)
process but have not found anybody, so it has been challenging to find that
capacity.

Council "Consent Agenda" Items Discussed Separately
30. AB2022- 7_l 8 Request authorization for the County Executive to enter into an agreement between
Whatcom County and Habitat for Humanity for their purchase of a property in
Everson for construction of 30 homes in the amount of $449,256

AUTHORIZATION BY CONSENT.
Councilmembers discussed the item with the following people:
• Tyler Schroeder, Director of Administrative Services
• Chris Van Staalduinen, Habitat for Humanity
• Elizabeth Kosa, Public Works Department Acting Director
• Ann Beck, Health Department
They discussed whether they are going to continue building in these areas
that are flooding and part of which is in the 100-year flood zone, whether
this particular property is in the floodplain, whether it is something they
should consider wisely whether or not they are building homes there, the
plan to build two feet above the base flood elevation, whether they feel
comfortable putting low-income housing there based on that and on analysis
of current and proposed flood maps, whether the Public Works Department
is Okay with it as well, what notification and disclosure they are providing
potential home buyers or renters about past and potential flooding, what we
can do to add additional disclosure so residents are prepared and can make a
decision, whether this project would be a land trust model where the
nonprofit would retain ownership of the land, having more conversations so
Council can have a good understanding of how they are selecting projects
and how they are appropriating American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds,
what the process was for applying for these funds, the effort by the Health
Department to hire an affordable housing specialist, whether this property
is located in the city limits of Everson, and whether the Everson City Mayor
has weighed in on this.
Dana Brown -Davis, Clerk of the Council, stated for the record that this is a
substitute contract and that there is another item on the Consent Agenda that
they will need to circle back to after this item.
Frazey stated she has a difficult time putting homes on this land since it was
under water a year ago.
