Roberts Shirley & Rich, Yes, that's still good law. Go with that provision in calculating the number for our petition purposes. >>> Shirley Forslof 08/22/02 10:07AM >>> Dave, Randy & Rich, just talked to Dean Logan, Director of Elections with the Secretary of State's office and their interpretation of RCW 29.10.081 (2) Election officials shall not include inactive voters in the count of registered voters for the purpose of dividing precincts, determining voter turnout, or other purposes in law for which the determining factor is the number of registered voters. Their opinion is that only the number of active registered voters be counted when determining the 10% validation number on the petition for the formation of a Special Recreation Service Area. I agree with the interpretation of the Secretary of State's office. Let me know if you can support the Secretary of State's position under RCW 29.10.081 (2). Thanks, Shirley >>> David Grant 08/21/02 11:36AM >>> Shirley & Rich: The petition is not subject to a "terminal date" per se. Instead RCW 36.68.430 states as follows: "Petitions shall be submitted to the county auditor who shall verify the signatures thereon to determine that the petition has been signed by the requisite number of persons who are registered voters within the proposed service area. If the petition is found not to have the requisite number of signatures, it shall be returned to the petitioners. If the petition is found to be sufficient, the auditor shall so certify and transmit the same to the board of county commissioners." So, while there is not a specific terminal date, if you determine that the "requisite number of signatures" has not been achieved, you are told to return the petition to the petitioners. You would not certify it as being sufficient. It would not be transmitted to the Council. Now, as to the question of how many signatures are required, RCW 36.68.410 says the threshold for certification and transmittal to the County Council is "ten percent of the registered voters within the proposed park and recreation service area." This threshold does not seem to distinguish between active or inactive voters. Under Title 29, Elections, a "registered voter" is defined as "any elector who possesses all of the statutory qualifications to vote under chapters 29.07 and 29.10 RCW." See, RCW 29.01.137. So, unless you can rely upon some ruling (administrative code provision) of the Secretary of State which implements the distinction you wish to draw between active and inactive voters, the threshold percentage for this petition ought to be based on your records showing the absolute number of "registered voters" within the proposed district as RCW 36.68.410 does not draw any distinction between "active" versus "inactive" registered voters. >>> Shirley Forslof 08/20/02 05:05PM >>> AUG 2 6 2002 The Point Robertf.C.

I have enclosed additional sheets and taken the liberty of writing on the left side with pencil those that are new to sig,►n the petition. OL means original List and X means, can't find their name on the list. I find it unusual in the case of Lori Bernd, as she personally showed me her voters card I have verified the original petition with the Voters list that Ethel forwarded, but unfortunately it could not be opened, and your co worker Mr. Pete Griffiths (who I must say, went beyond the call of duty to be helpful, Thankyou!) forwarded the files required Having checked the original list came up with 62, that were on that original list and would be happy to forward as that would have brought us to the correct amount required On the new sheets I have confirmed that there are 38 more voters that are on your list. I am so hoping that this will allow us to move forward and have this on the ballot. Looking forward to your confirmation of same, and once again, thank you office for their continued su ort in helping us to accomplish this mission.

(RCW 36.68.400 ) I, a registered Whatcom County voter, petition the Whatcom County Council to place on the November 5, 2002 General Election Ballot for the creation of a Special Recreation Service Area. The Recreation Service Area would include the entire unincorporated 4.9 square miles of Point Roberts. The creation of the Recreation Service Area is in support of the Point Roberts Pier Restoration project maintenance costs. The site location for the Pier Project will be at the end of Gulf Road. Construction funds will be derived from others sources and would not part of the Special Recreation Service Area funds. The estimated the annual maintenance and operational costs will be $45,000. These costs would be derived from property taxes within the entire unincorporated Point Roberts Community.

OL means original List and X means, can't find their name on the list. I find it unusual in the case of Lori Bernd, as she personally showed me her voters card I have verified the original petition with the Voters list that Ethel forwarded, but unfortunately it could not be opened, and your co worker Mr. Pete Griffiths (who I must say, went beyond the call of duty to be helpful, Thankyou!) forwarded the files required Having checked the original list came up with 62, that were on that original list and would be happy to forward as that would have brought us to the correct amount required On the new sheets I have confirmed that there are 38 more voters that are on your list. I am so hoping that this will allow us to move forward and have this on the ballot. Looking forward to your confirmation of same, and once again, thank you office for their continued su ort in helping us to accomplish this mission.
