No. 37557 Dear Dave: This will acknowledge receipt by this Office of your letter of September 10, 1973, regarding the above -captioned examination report. I'm delighted to D hear that Judge Boldt gave the parties a day of respite from that horrendous trial in Tacoma. I'm sure that the "break" was well appreciated by the parties, and just as much deserved. Your letter advises that immediately upon the release of the examination report in September, 1972, the Commissioners closed out the three bank accounts which the district had been maintaining, and that since that time all district funds have been deposited with the County Treasurer. Accordingly, we shall close our files on this matter. In view of the fact that the relations be- tween the district and Sudden Valley, Inc. had been closed out by my letter to you of September 6, 1973, we now consider the file to be completely closed. I an taking the liberty of directing a copy of this letter to Bill Gardiner, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, for whatever use it may be to him in the context- of --advising the County Auditor and ex officio elections super- visor vis-a-vis the pending recall action against two of the district com- missioners. We appreciate your cooperation, and that of the district and County officials involved, in the resolution of these matters. Very truly yours, FOR TH$ ATTORNEY GENERAL DONALD FOSS, JR.

We demand the recall and removal from office of Chester Young, Com- missioner for Water District No. 10, for committing the following acts of misfeasance, malfeasance and violation of his oath of office: 1.

That acting as a Commissioner for the loth 'Hater District, he disregarded recommendations of the R. W. Beck engineering firm, the CH2M engineering firm, and the Bellingham City Enr7ineer, and voted to build a sewer system that was partial to the -interests of Sudden Valley, Inc. and detrimental to the loth Water District. 3. That acting as a Commissioner for Water District No. 10, he failed to establish procedures and. adopt rules governing the transaction of Water District business in contravention of R.C.W. 57.12.010. 4. That acting as a Commissioner for Water District No. 10, he permitted maintenance of three checking accounts outside the custody of the County Treasurer for which no receipts or remittance advises were made available for inspection, nor claim vouchers for vendors' invoices available to substantiate expenditures, in con- travention of R.C.W. 57.20.140.

In the interests of accuracy, I believe the synopsis should be revised, and I am requesting that your office make a few changes on the synopsis. First, I wish to withdraw the last charge regarding the compre- hensive plan. After reviewing the matter, I have discovered I was in error regarding the comprehensive plan and wish to with- draw this charge. Secondly, you will note in the demand for recall that I did not allege that Faye Dixon signed the contract with Sudden Valley, but rather he voted in support of this contract. Accordingly, I request that you change the phrase "signed and voted for" to read he "voted in support of". Thirdly, in the ballot synopsis for Chester Young, you apparently inadvertently omitted the clause "which violated law as to method of raising district revenue". This clause is in the synopsis for Faye Dixon and is a charge in the demand for recall for Chester Young, which I submitted to the County Auditor. Accordingly, I request that this clause be inserted. Except for these relatively minor changes, I am satisfied with the ballot synopsis. If you require that I submit a formal letter to the County Audi- tor requesting these changes, please so advise me.

Honorable Wella Hansen, Auditor, County Court House, Bellingham, Wash. Dear Yrs. Hansen: We are preparing the affidavits you asked about in your letter of Sept. 28th and expect to get them to you after they have been looked over by our attorney who will be in Bellingham on Oct. 12, 1973. At his suggestion, we are again circulating our recall petitions and expect to turn in more names at that time. If you wish, we will return the receipt you gave us, dated Sept. 27, 1973#. Then you may issue us a new one as though we had submitted all of the petitions on that date. If this does not meet with your approval and you would rather we took some other action, will you write back promptly so we can do so before the 12th? Very sincerely yours, T. M.

Sisson Courthouse - 311 Grand Avenue BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON 98225 September 14, 1973 Mr. T. M. Edwards Chairman of Recall Committee 4126 Park Lane Bellingham, WA 98225 Dear Mr. Edwards: Telephone (206) 676 - 6784 Assistant Attorney General, Donald Foss, Jr., has called my attention to the fact that the office of the Attorney General has the exclusive perog&ive regarding institution of legal action concerning alleged malfeasance, misfeas- ance or nonfeasance of a public office predicated upon findings of the state auditor's examination into the financial affairs of public officers. By letter dated September 6, 1973, (a copy of which appears to have been mailed to you) Mr. Foss, advised that the Attorney General has closed his file on question of possible excessive reimbursement arising out of inter- pretation of a contract between the Water District Board and Sudden Valley, Inc. The Water District's attorney has sent a letter to the Assistant Attorney General of September 10, 1973, confirming the deposit of all district funds with the County Treasurer shortly after receipt of the examiner's report. Accordingly, I assume the Attorney General's office finds no malfeasance, misfeasance or nonfeasance by Water District #10 Commissioners on the matters questioned in the Auditor's report. This requires me to advise you that your charges Nos. 1, the first section of No. 2 and No. 4 are not, there - fore, legally sufficient to support recall. You have already determined to delete charge No. 5. Standing alone, I doubt that charges No. 2 and 3 are sufficient to meet the constitutional requirements for recall. The ballot synopsis previously given you must,, therefore, be withdrawn and is not to be used in any nianrer. k Mr. T. M. Edwards September 14, 1973 Page two Unless new charges which are constitutionally sufficient are filed, you are to refrain from circulation of petitions for recall using the ballot synopsis heretofore prepared by this office.

It would seem that Mr. Edwards intends to initiate recall proceedings against the two named Water District Commissioners. Unless the original is verified, it would appear that the verification required by statute is lacking. The statute states that the legal voter or committee desiring recall prepare a typewritten charge reciting the acts of malfeasance or misfeasance while in office or violations of his oath of office or that he has been guilty of two or more of the acts_ specifiedin the consti- tution as grounds for recall. This charge_ shall be signed y the person making same, give his post office address and be verified under oath that he believes the charge or charges to be true.
