BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF WHATCOM COUNTY, WASHINGTON By HARRY GONSER Chairman (SEAL OF THE BOARD) E. R. HAXTON Commissioner ARCHIE N. TRUAX Commissioner RESOLUTION LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY WHEREAS a proposed plan of access control has been prepared in accordance with the in- structions of the Washington State Highway Commission for a portion of Primary State Highway No. 1, Ferndale to Blaine, and WHEREAS, a portion or all of the proposed highway improvement lies within the County of Whatcom, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, in accordance with the provisions of RCW 47-52.020, that the County of Whatcom, acting by and through its Board of County Commissioners, does hereby consent to the establishment of limited access on the following described portion of Primary State Highway No. 1, in Whatcom County: From approximate Highway Engineers' Station 10/40 on the corporate limits of City of Ferndale on the north edge of Nooksack River in Government Lot 5, Section 20, Township 39 North, Range 2 E., W.M., thence northerly to approximate Highway Engineers' Station 9/80 on the government meander line on the north edge of Dakota Creek in government Lot 2, Section 8, Township 40 North, Range 1 E., W. M, in accordance with the plan entitled "Primary State Highway No. 1, Ferndale to Blaine Plan Showing Access," Sheets 1 through 5 of 5 sheets, approved by the Director of Highways on November 12, 1958, a print of which plan is hereto attached and made a part of this resolution and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution shall be transmitted to the Wash- ington State Highway Commission at Olympia, Washington. ADOPTED this loth day of March, 1959, at a regular meeting of the County Commissioners of Whatcom County, Washington HARRY GONSER Chairman (SEAL OF THE BOARD) E. R. HAXTON Commissioner ARCHIE N. TRUAX Attest: WELLA HANSEN Commissioner County Auditor Constituting the Board of County By ELSIE LEWIS Commissioners of Whatcom County, Deputy Washington The following communication was sent to the Washington State Highway Department, along with the signed copies of the above Resolution: P. J. McKay, District Engineer Washington State Highway Department 6431 Corson Avenue Seattle 8, Washington C.S. 3703 PSH No. 1 Dear Sir: Ferndale to Blaine, Access Plan Attached herewith are the signed resolutions of the above -referenced highway. The Whatcom Board of County Commissioners have given the matter of an over crossing on the Aldergrove Road very careful study and consider- ation and believe that over a long period of time the extra cost,would be justified, particularly from the safety angle. However, in order to expedite the construction of this piece of road and not cause a long delay, the Commissioners have signed the resolution. The blocking of the Aldergrove Road and routing the traffic over the Brown Road will create a traffic hazard at the railroad crossing which should be given more study. We believe the State Highway Department and 117 RECORD OF COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS JANUARY TETUESDAY THE loth DAY OF MARCH 19-5-9_ the Bureau of Public Roads should consider the installation of railroad crossing signals at the Brown Road to compensate somewhat for the more dangerous crossing due to being on a railroad curve with restricted sight distances. i Should there be anything further, please advise us.

TRUAX Commissioner August 5, 1958 In the matter of constructing a new bridge over the Nooksack River on the Hannegan Road near Lynden, I hereby submit the following proposal: I agree to perform professional engineering services for same as follows: a. Prepare the detailed engineering design for a steel and reinforced concrete bridge for this site from the data and information furnished by,your engineer. This design is to be in accordance with the 1957 edition, Standard Specifi- cations of the American Association of State Highway Officials for H2O S16 loading and to the approval of the State Highway Department and the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads. b. Prepare the engineering design drawings necessary for the construction of this bridge. c. Prepare the engineering specifications covering the eonitruction of this bridge. d. Furnish estimate of quantities. e. Furnish estimate of cost. f. Advise with yourselves and your engineer on award of contract, if desired. g. Advise with and give general consultation to your engineer during course of construction as he may request but will not directly supervise the work. It is understood that the corEtruction of this bridge probably will not be commenced before the winter of 1960-61, but that an approved preliminary design and estimate of cost are desired at this time. The work then divides into two parts: (1) the present development of the general layout, arrangement of spans and main features together with obtaining necessary official approval of same - general, not specific - and also preparation of cost estimate; (2) the future development of detailed plans and specifications in accordance with the presently approved layout. It is also understodd that financing of this preliminary work at the present time is contingent on the project's receiving a Housing and Home Finance Agency planning loan. With- out that loan, work on the project will be postponed to a later date. F, . RECORD OF COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS APRIL TERM FRTDAY THE 17th DAY OF APRIL 19-54- My fee for the total above described work on this bridge is six (6) percent of the contract price of the bridge. It would divide one-third (1/3) for the present portion of the work, two-thirds (2/3) for the future portion of the work. Payment on completion of the respective portions of the work prior to actual award of contract shall be ninety (90) percent of the total amount due and that amount shall be computed on an assumed contract price of one hundred eighty thousand dollars ($180,000). Your passage of the necessary resolution of engagement and signature of the accompanying copy of this proposal will signify your acceptance of it. Please return a signed copy to me and also a copy of this resolution. Accepted: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF WHATCOM COUNTY, WASHINGTON HARRY GONSER E. R. HAXTON ARCHIE N.

That from the affidavits aforesaid and from all of the records and filed and other proofs in this proceeding, it is expressly found by this Board that due, legal, sufficient and timely notice has been given by the County Auditor in all respects as provided by law and the Order of this Board, so as to fully authorize this Board to hear and grant said application.

That this Board of County Commissioners expressly finds that the use of said roads and parts of roads described in said application and in this order for the purposes enumerated on said application and this order is a public use and that public necessity required and this Board deems it to be for the public interest to grant to the applicant, Puget Sound Power and Light Company, its successors and aaigns, the authority, right, privilege and franchise so applied for and as hereinafter more fully set forth.

The privilege is granted to the grantee, its successors and assigns, to place any portion of the pole line herein provided for upon private right-of-way outside of the roads and parts of roads above described, for such distance and at such places as the grantee, its successors and assigns may desire; but the placing of any of such poles outside of any of the roads and par of roads above described shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to locate such poles along so many or all of the roads and parts of roads above described as the grantee, its successors and assigns may from time to time desire to so occupy.

The said grantee, for itself, its successors and assigns, by accepting the authority, right, privilege and franchise hereby granted, covenants to indemnify the County of Whatcom from any injury arising from any casualty or accident to person or property by reason of any negligence on the part of said grantee, its successors ar assigns, or omission on the part of said grantee, its successors or assigns, to keep such poles and wires in a safe condition, and to pay all valid claims against said County for damages caused by said poles or wires or faulty location of the same, or by any electric current conducted therebyi provided seasonable notice is given such grantee, its successors or assigns, by said County of Whatcom of any suit or action begun against said County on account of any alleged claim for any said cause.
