Discipline applied; details unreleased Cameras for patrol cars follow traffic stop dispute By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

Sidewalk serenade: workers with Lawson Construction put finishing touches on a new sidewalk near the intersection of Spring and Mullis streets in early autumn. The street improvement was funded by the Town of Friday Harbor.

Sales tax hike for roads?

Bump in sales tax would net $220K a year for road projects By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

Big plans loom for Friday Harbor, if the town council response to Administrator Duncan Wilson at the all-day council retreat is any indication. On Saturday, Wilson made what amounted to a “state of the town” presentation to Mayor Carrie Lacher and the council, complete with a long list of current projects and a plan for the future repair and renovation of many city streets. The highlight is a proposal in which the council would create a Transportation Benefit District for the Town of Friday Harbor,

which could include a two-tenths of one percent sales tax hike to partially fund up to $15 million in street projects. The “major projects list” for completion this year includes fourteen construction projects and three design and planning projects, costing over $3.5 million. “The current revenue will maintain town services,” Wilson said, “but there’s not enough income to maintain the streets.” The sales tax increase will provide $220,000 per year to start, increasing gradually over 10 years, when the tax will either expire or be renewed by voters to fund more projects. The most expensive: Blair Street Reconstruction and Sidewalks, $1.5 million (90 percent paid by a Transportation Improvement Board grant); water and sewer line replacement on Spring Street, between

First and Front, $210,000; water and sewer line replacement on Spring Street between Second and Argyle, $140,000; Street and Park Department buildings, $600,000; and the Linder/Nelson/Franck/ Nichols streets stormwater project, $450,000. These projects are in the current budget and underway, but the long list of deteriorated or substandard streets that need repair or reconstruction will need funds from several sources including money squirreled away in the town coffers and some form of tax increase to provide seed money and matching funds necessary to attract state and federal grants, according to Wilson. Wilson helped North Bend, Wash., create a TBD in 2011, funded by the statutory sales tax of 20 cents per $100 of spendSee ROADS?, Page 4

Deputies involved in the now infamous Christmas Eve hayride in Friday Harbor have been disciplined in a manner appropriate to policy and rule violations that occurred during and in the wake of that controversial traffic stop, according to San Juan County Sheriff Rob Nou. A small body- Sheriff Rob Nou worn camera used for sometime last year by one of the deputies involved in the traffic stop has been turned over to the sheriff and is undergoing a forensic examination. In a Feb. 3 press release, Nou did not describe the disciplinary action but said it is consistent with county personnel rules and the collective bargaining agreement that applies to labor-and-management relations. He said conclusions were reached and action taken to address community concerns about the traffic stop after a review of information available, interviews of several witnesses and with those involved, and discussions with other law enforcement agency executives. Nou said the department would begin equipping patrol cars with cameras, as funding allows (reportedly $5,000 each), and also defended the traffic stop as a necessary precaution. “Deputy Menjivar was right to stop the pickup and trailer,” he said. “The inherent safety concerns of having up to 30 people

riding on the trailer, even at low speed, without taillights, signals or brake lights are obvious. Undersheriff Bruce Distler last week said he is uncertain about what disciplinary steps have been taken. He did say, however, based on prior discussions with the sheriff, violations of department policy would involve rules of conduct with the public, use of the radio, and media relations, such as submitting a letter to the editor for publication. (Nou was attending an off-island conference last week and did not return messages prior to the Journal Monday deadline). Distler said department policy calls for a courteous, professional, patient manner in dealing with See UNRELEASED, Page 4

Councilman recuperating from bacterial virus San Juan County Councilman Bob Jarman continues his recuperation in a Bellingham hospital on Monday, Feb. 10. San Juan County Clerk Ingrid Gabriel reports that no expected date of discharge has been announced. Jarman is being treated for “Strep A,” an aggressive bacterial infection sometimes known as a ”flesh eating bacteria.” Jarman was taken to St. Joseph Hospital Bob Jarman by ambulance Monday, Jan. 27. At that time, county officials said that the San Juan Island councilman was suffering from flu-like symptoms. Jarman credits Dr. Burk Gossom of San Juan Health Care Associates, staff at Friday Harbor’s Peace Island Medical Center, and San Juan EMS flight crew for getting him to the Bellingham hospital in time to receive lifesaving treatment. “I will be in the hospital most of this week while I continue on a program of intensive anti-bacterial treatment

to help balance out all systems,” Jarman said in a press release. “Talking on the phone has not been possible, but I have been keeping up with emails and texts through family members. I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and good wishes through this ordeal.” A former manager with Century Tel (now CenturyLink), a local telephone and cell-phone service provider, and former San Juan Island Fire Department commissioner, Jarman was first elected to the District 1 council position in the fall of 2012, defeating then-incumbent Lovel Pratt. He was re-elected to the District 1 council post in spring of 2013, besting Pratt a second time, in an election for the reconfigured three-person county council approved by voters in fall of 2012. Jarman intends to keep pace with local issues while recuperating. “I am on the road to recovery,” he said. “I will keep up with county issues and continue working closely with my fellow council members.” — Scott Rasmussen

who’s counting?” Sears and her husband, Bud, former facilities manager for the county Department of Public Works, moved to San Juan Island in 1974. A 22-year county employee, Sears was first elected to the treasurer position in 2006 and ran opposed in the 2010 election. She was chief deputy in the treasurer’s office for 12 years before taking over management of the department following the retirement of former treasurer Kathy Turnbull. San Juan Island’s Rhonda Pederson, chief accountant of the auditor’s office, announced last week her candidacy for county treasurer. It’s Pederson’s firstever bid for public office. A non-partisan elected position, the treasurer is custodian of all monies collected by and received on behalf of the county, and the junior taxing districts and public school districts. Duties of the treasurer include tracking and oversight of county financial investments, preparation of excise tax affidavits in property sales and transfers, and

preparing and sending out annual property tax statements. The treasurer supervises 2 1/2 full-time employees and receives an annual salary of $75,000, benefits included. — Scott Rasmussen

Assessor opts out of reelection run

San Juan County Assessor Charles Zalmanek decided after his unopposed 2010 election to retire after completing his second term in office. He recently reiterated that decision as part of a wide-ranging interview with the Journal about current issues and future plans at the assessor’s office. Zalmanek’s proud to have moved the county to annual valuations and pleased that the new $300,000 software system he installed to replace the 20-year-old anti-

quated system works. He points out that reductions in assessed values caused by the recession have resulted in a decrease of the ass ess e d value of the county from $8.13 billion in 2010 to $6.24 bil- Charles Zalmanek lion in 2013. “I made fairness, uniformity and equity my goal when first elected assessor, and I’ve achieved those goals and embedded them in the entire staff,” he said. “The best thing about my job has been that I’ve had a competent, supportive staff.

Roads?: Continued from page 1 ing. Before the meeting, Wilson said the council had discussed the idea informally more than once, with Councilman Steve Hushebeck an early proponent. Transportation Benefit Districts are separate taxing districts for defined local jurisdictions, usually municipalities but sometimes counties. Under state law, any tax increase proposed by a TBD must be approved by local voters and can be used only for transportation improvements. Friday Harbor has almost the lowest sales tax rate in the state, Wilson said. “The small increase the council will ask the voters to approve will be paid for by people who use the town’s streets, in part by tourists and county residents who shop in Friday Harbor. This tax will directly benefit Friday Harbor voters in many ways.” To illustrate the need, town Director of Public Works Wayne Haefele talked about street construction and maintenance, and reviewed findings of street inspections with dozens of photographs illustrating problems streets and neighborhoods. “Together with the monies we allocate annually in the

1. Understand the timetable you’re dealing with. You will be moving your family, and you will be trying to put the move to a plan. This can be very emotionally draining. Demand from your agent an appreciation for the timetables you are setting.

3. Get the house SOLD! There is a reason you are putting your family through the process of moving. The reason is important or you wouldn’t be dealing with the headaches and challenges that come along with selling. Do not allow your agent to forget these motivations. Constantly remind them that selling the house is why you hired them. If they discover something needs to be done to attain your goal (i.e. price correction, repair, removing clutter), insist they have the courage to inform you. Make sure you let your agent know what you and your family expect from them. 50 Spring Street, (360)378-3600 or (800)262-3596 www.windermeresji.com

budget, the TBD would be the start of funding the needed repairs,” Wilson said. Saying the initial estimate of repair and maintenance costs was in the $8 to $10 million range, Wilson noted that more detailed inspections and engineering showed that up to $15 million would be needed to rehabilitate the entire town street grid. “We’ve got to be honest with the people when we tell them what future costs will be,” he said. Council reactions were positive. Councilman Hushebeck said, “We should absolutely be for it. I’m really impressed with improvements we’ve already made and this project is the capstone to everything going on.” Councilman Neil Monin said street maintenance problems “have been accelerating in Friday Harbor and won’t just go away, we need something like this.” Councilwoman Barbara Starr wants to make sure that neighborhoods would understand the benefits they would receive. “We’ve got to focus our outreach to residents,” she said. Newly elected Councilman Farhad Ghatan summed up the discussion: “Let’s move forward on this.” Creation of the transportation district will be on an early Town Council meeting agenda, Lacher said, to be followed within weeks by the necessary approval to put the sales tax increase on the November ballot.

After leaving the scene of the traffic stop, Menjivar reportedly said in a radio dispatch that the sheriff would soon be receiving numerous and distorted complaints about the incident. He also defended his actions in a letter to the editor published in the Jan. 8 edition of the Journal.

individual. Punishments can range from a verbal warning to a letter of reprimand, to termination of employment if an offense, such as theft, is severe. Meanwhile, Distler said that he authorized Menjivar to use the body-worn camera, at the deputy’s request, following a town hall forum in March, 2013, in which the sheriff fielded numerous complaints regarding the deputy’s conduct during a series of prior traffic stops. He said that he understood that it quit functioning sometime later that summer. “I don’t know if he had it on or not on Christmas Eve,” Distler said. “I know we never got a complaint when he was wearing a camera.” He said several attorneys have asked for footage from that camera on behalf of their clients. It is at a laboratory undergoing a forensic examination to determine what footage it contains and the dates when video was taken. “It’s my understanding that even if something has been erased that it’ll show some kind of date or timestamp,” he said. “It leaves a footprint.”

New CAO on the books March 31 The long and winding road for the county critical areas ordinances is approaching a milestone, but the end is far from sight. If the County Council follows the plan it announced at the Feb. 4 council meeting, the date that the ordinances will go into effect will be moved from March 1 to March 31. If the CAO takes effect March 31, plans and permit applications filed before March 31 will be considered under the laws and regulations in effect before the CAO updates were passed in 2012. After March 31, plans and applications will be considered under the new law, including the new amendments presently being considered and which are expected to be approved March 5. The amendments address the order issued

in September by the state Growth Management Hearings Board, which ruled that portions of the CAO did not comply with state law. That order followed petitions for review of the CAO by the Common Sense Alliance, Friends of the San Juans and others. That GMHB order was itself appealed to the San Juan County Superior Court. The public hearing on the amendments that started on Feb. 4 will continue on Feb. 11, when the council will accept further public testimony and begin consideration of the amendments. Final council action is scheduled for March 5. The original update was enacted by the six-person council in late 2012, but the three-member council elected in November 2012 extended the effective date

until March 1, 2014 to allow the appeals to go forward. The present schedule calls for the council to file its amendments with the growth board on March 19. The growth board can reject the council’s amendments and send the CAO back to the county for further action. Meanwhile, the first appeal of the GMHB to the San Juan County Superior Court is scheduled for a hearing on the merits on March 19, which will be followed within weeks by a decision by Judge Don Eaton. After that decision, any party can appeal to the state Court of Appeals and then to the state Supreme Court. Final resolution may be two or three years away.

open space is an important and troubling issue, he concedes. With both the state Attorney General and the Legislature getting involved with the issue, Open Space Act tax exemptions will

Kulseth confirmed that he intends to file for the position when candidate filing begins in early May. Zalmanek said the current spat with the county council over farming and open space current use assessment reductions did not affect his decision (See pg. 7, “As I See It”) “I decided not to run at the time of my 2010 election,”Zalmanek said.

Of survey results & self-promotion

This is a commentary regarding the recent publication of a list recently supplied by PIMC to the public. It is not in any way a comment on care and should be understood that the scope of the commentary is intentionally narrow. It is a reminder to all that data and numbers are not information: they need context and analysis. The list needs careful drill down to be understood: n Were the visits, tests, and procedures appropriate

or not? Were the costs of those tests within accepted norms? n Was the quality of care analyzed or evaluated by disinterested reviewers? Was customer-service review sought and examined objectively? Were anecdotal reports (good or bad) examined for trends? n Was the locus of care (clinic vs. ER) appropriate or was there channeling? n Was the pattern clinic encounters commensurate with accepted standards for both access and commensurate with the cost of providing those services? Were the charges for services appropriate and competitive? Was communication with nonPIMC physicians timely and professional? Until there are answers for my little questions (which always will lead to more little questions), there is no way—positively or negatively—to assess the community’s investment and the numbers will remain little more than advertising and self-promotion.

The future looks startling to those of us who comprise the “silver tsunami,” and is downright alarming for thousands of Washingtonians who rely on the state’s Medicaid system to pay for long-term care services in nursing homes and assisted living centers. Assisted living Medicaid rates haven’t been updated in nearly a decade—and were cut by six percent from 2010 to 2012. Nursing home rates were last updated in 2007. Rates fell short by over $100 million in 2012 —and over half the state’s nursing homes lost money. Failure to update rates creates problems at the bedside, where care quality is truly defined. Seventy percent of the cost of longterm care is wage and labor-related, thus financial losses equal lost jobs and that translates to lost quality. This is simply not sustainable. Washington Health Care Association has represented skilled and assisted living providers in Washington for over 40 years. Our 400plus members tell us that the issue of appropriate funding does not change because of shifting demographics. Washington’s system of facility-based long-term care is threatened as never before. Now, as in the future, when a loved one’s care needs can’t be met at home, it’s critical that trained and certified staff are available to provide quality care in a costeffective, safe and highlyregulated care setting.

he 1889 state constitution recognized that to be effective, uniformity must apply to both assessments and tax rates. Fairness, uniformity and equity are the hallmarks of Washington’s property tax system and assessors and their staff continually endeavor to maintain that goal. When different portions of the property tax system are not appropriately maintained, fairness, uniformity and equity are compromised. This article focuses on the three top ways to improve the fairness of San Juan County's property tax system. Each would impact some taxpayers negatively, but each would promote the fairness all taxpayers expect and deserve. First, the assessor’s office should continue to monitor all lands enrolled in special tax programs and remove noncompliant lands as required under the law. An appeal process is available for landowners who disagree with the assessor regarding the removal of their lands from classification. Second, the County Council should immediately re-rate all properties with outdated Public Benefit Ratings allowing the assessor's office to revalue these lands under the current rating system. Third, the County Council should provide the necessary funding for the assessor's office to list and appraise all new construction, not just new construction on ferry-served islands with a value over a certain threshold, each and every year. The additional funding would likely be more than offset by the additional revenues generated. Most islanders are aware of lands that are enrolled in the Current Use Farm & Agricultural Program where little or no farming is taking place. Most are also aware of lands enrolled in the Current Use Timber or Designated Forest Land Programs where there has been no apparent manage-

ment of the lands for growth and harvest of trees. When lands were enrolled into any of these programs, agreements were signed, allowing the assessor to value the lands at their “current use” rather than at their “highest and best use” in exchange for managing the lands appropriately. As a result, the tax burden is Contributed photo shifted away from owners of these Charles Zalmanek lands and onto all other taxpayers. When lands are not managed appropriately, the law requires that the assessor remove them from program enrollment and issue compensating taxes. In 1990, San Juan County implemented the state's Open Space Act and developed a Public Benefit Rating System for parcels of land to be enrolled in the Open Space Program, which rewards voluntary resource preservation. The number of PBRS points awarded converts directly into a percentage of reduction in assessed value of the subject land. When the County Council amends a PBRS, all existing open space parcels must be rated under the amended PBRS (RCW 84.34.055(3) and WAC 458-30-330(6)). The Department of Revenue recently performed a review of the current use program in San Juan County. The report stated, “We found that there were existing open space land parcels that were rated under the original PBRS, and had not been rated under the amended PBRS.” The original PBRS allowed for as many as 90 points, which equates to a 90-percent discount in land valuation for tax purposes. The maximum number of points available under the current PBRS is 70. The DOR estimated that approximately 150 parcels are still rated under a prior PBRS. By not re-rating open-space lands using the amended PBRS guidelines, a significant tax shift continues to exist in favor of owners of lands classified under the old PBRS and away from all other taxpayers. Fairness, uniformity and equity will continue to be comproSee FAIRNESS, Page 8

n Friday, Jan. 24, Fish for Teeth kicked off its third year of providing dental care for those who cannot afford it, and cooked up over 300 fish tacos to help support the effort. Dental care is provided by local volunteer dental professionals on the Medical Teams International mobile dental van, a 40-foot two-chair toothfixing behemoth, which comes to San Juan Island every January, May, and October. The January 24-25 clinic helped 32 people for more than $14,600 in dental services. There are no income requirements limiting those who receive services, but prospective patients must assure they have no discretionary income, and no other means of paying for dental care. Thus far, the Fish for Teeth screening team is confident they are servicing only those who truly need assistance. Fish for Teeth operates from a 100 percent volunteer effort; teeth wouldn’t be fixed without support from the dental community, and every dental office on San Juan Island has either

A big thanks also goes to those who schedule and coordinate the clinics: Margaret Johnson, Liz Pillow, Joanne Runyan, Nancy Best, and Michal Horn; and to the Mullis Community Senior Center for providing the site for the van and a space for patients to check in and wait for their appointments. Thank you also to Ellen Broyles, the “Tooth-Fairy,” who drives the van to our island and facilitates the whole undertaking, and to the U.W. Labs for providing a room at a great rate for

Ellen to stay in while she was here. Fish for Teeth’s primary fundraising effort is selling fish tacos.

Sophia Marinkovich and Samantha Hopkins carried signs to advertise the tacos.

Lytton honored by US Humane Society

FEBRUARY 15, 16, 17

Washington state Rep. Kristine Lytton, D-Anacortes, played a key role in settling years of conflict by helping to craft a resolution ensuring ranchers will be reimbursed for livestock losses and that avoids pushing the state's grey wolf population back toward extinction. Her efforts did not go by unnoticed. The 40th District legislator, whose represents all of San Juan and portions of Skagit and Whatcom counties, was named “Legislator of the Year” by the U.S. Humane Society for brokering that resolution. She shares the award with state Sen. Christine Rolfes of Bainbridge Island. “This was quite a challenge,” said Lytton, vice-chairwoman of the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee. “Time will tell, but it looks like we’re on the right track, and I’m honored that the U.S. Humane Society

This office has omitted new construction appraisals on non-ferry served islands and also routinely omits appraisal of new construction with lower values, due to inadequate staffing. Without adequate resources to appraisal all new construction, all taxing districts, including the county, are not receiving revenues that could help alleviate funding issues. In the 2011 assessor’s budget presentation to the county council, the assessor provided an illustration of the compounding effect of capturing new construction value, but the necessary funding was not granted. As a result, newly constructed buildings are sometimes not placed on the

tax rolls for several years. Again, fairness, uniformity and equity of taxation are compromised. The overall effect of the above deficiencies causes some taxpayers to pay more, while the county and all other taxing districts receive less, creating a serious breach in the notion of fairness, uniformity and equity in taxation. With assistance and support from the county council, the assessor could accomplish the goals outlined above and create a more fair uniform and equitable system of property taxation for all taxpayers in San Juan County. — Editor’s note: Charles Zalmanek is in the final year of a second four-year term as county assessor, an elected position. He is not running for reelection.

‘Team Holman’ lands Classic grand prize Andy Holman nets 20-pounder; bags Salmon Classic ‘s 1st place, $10K, purse San Juan Island’s Andy Holman braved the cold and the wind, and bested a field of 343 other anglers to snare the grand prize — $10,000 — in the 11th annual Salmon Classic hosted Feb. 7-8 by Roche Harbor Resort. Holman, a seven-year classic veteran, credits the use of electronic equipment for helping him to locate the 20.2 pound fish, in the north end of Lopez Sound, and credits his teammates even more so for helping him to land the winner. “It was quite an epic battle to say the least,” he said. Once hooked, the fish began taking line and taking line, and taking more line until Holman had only about half his line left. His wife, Carol, took over at the helm and teammate Kevin Klein readied the net as they circled the boat around, intent on hoisting and landing what they believed would prove to be a sizable catch. “I knew it was a big fish, but we never saw it until it was just at the surface,” Holman said. “It was a total team effort. I may not have caught it if it hadn’t been for the rest of the team.” In addition, Holman, whose 20.2-pounder earned him the classic’s first-place prize, snagged another Contributed photo Frank Finch with his 3rd place- $1,000 for landing the largest fish weighed in on Friday, winning 15.12 pound fish. the first day of the two-day Yankee Doodle went to town, fishing derby, a new category introduced as part of this Riding on a pony, year’s classic.

sibly a book, might do the trick. Below is a list of Top Five candidates in each category. However, since we were way underwhelmed by the lists of “Most Romantic Films of All Time” that we came across (“Annie Hall”, really?), we picked five of our own. We’re also tossing out a few “love quotes” as well, which may come in handy. Feel free to use ‘em, but don’t abuse ‘em.

Musical & medical joined in harmony Island Sinfonia featured in ‘Concert for the Community, Saturday, 1 p.m., at PIMC Those clamps, sutures, stethoscopes and sonagrams? They’ll probably take a backseat for an hour or so.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the sellerâ€™s and buyerâ€™s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the sellerâ€™s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To make a firewood complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the San Juan County Board of Health will conduct a public hearing for the purpose of receiving testimony on an Ordinance Regarding Accounting for On-Site Sewage Operation and Maintenance Program Charges. The public hearing will be held at the Legislative Hearing Room, 55 Second Street, Friday Harbor, WA, on Wednesday, February 19, 2014, beginning at 11:45 AM. The hearing may be continued from time to time and place to place as may be desired by the Board of Health without additional written notice. At the hearing, members of the public will be invited to speak and/or provide written statements regarding the proposed Ordinance. After the public testimony portion of the hearing has ended, the Board of Health will deliberate and consider modifications to the Ordinance that are proposed by members of the public, county employees or the Board. The proposed Ordinance may then be adopted with or without modifications. All persons wishing to be heard on this matter are encouraged to attend. Written comments may be submitted in advance of the hearing by mail or at the hearing by delivery in person. Please deliver 9 copies of all written comments to the San Juan County Board of Health at 145 Rhone Street, Friday Harbor or mail to P.O. Box 607 Friday Harbor, WA, 98250. The ordinance is on file at the office of the Health & Community Services, 145 Rhone Street, Friday Harbor, WA, and may be inspected and copies obtained at the Health & Community Services office on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Summary: The proposed Ordinance

amends Ordinance No. 23-2013 § 8 (uncodified) and would eliminate the need for a separate On-site Sewage Operation and Maintenance fund. The proposed Ordinance will simplify accounting processes while still maintaining revenues separately. The Auditor would use project coding to ensure that revenues from the Onsite Sewage Operation and Maintenance Program Charge are used solely for their intended purpose. The Ordinance may also be viewed 24 hours a day at the County website at http://www.sanjuanco.com/Council/PendingOrdinances.aspx. A copy of the proposed Ordinance will be mailed without charge upon request. For more information please contact the San Juan County Auditor at 360-370-7558 or Mark Tompkins at 360-370-7517.

The public hearing will be held at the Legislative Hearing Room, 55 Second Street, Friday Harbor, WA on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 beginning at 9:15 AM. The hearing may be continued from time to time and place to place as may be desired by the Council without additional written notice. At the hearing, members of the pub-

lic will be invited to speak and/or provide written statements regarding the proposed Emergency Ordinance. After the public testimony portion of the hearing has ended, the Council will deliberate and consider modifications to the Ordinance that are proposed by members of the public, county employees or the Council.

Please deliver 5 copies of all written comments to the Clerk of the San Juan County Council at 55 Second Street, Friday Harbor or mail to 350 Court Street #1, Friday Harbor, WA 98250. The Ordinance is filed at the Office of the County Council, 55 Second Street, Friday Harbor, WA and may be inspected and copies obtained at the Council offices during each business day between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Summary: The proposed emergency ordinance affects the effective date of Ordinance 26-2012 regarding general regulations for critical areas, Ordinance 27-2012 regarding critical area regulations for geologically hazardous areas and frequently flooded areas, Ordinance 28-2012 regarding critical area regulations for wetlands, and Ordinance 29-2012 regarding critical area regulations for fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas. The purpose for the delay is to (1) Allow Council adequate time to consider public comments and deliberate on proposed amendments to the regulations that must be adopted by March 5, 2014 to comply with a Growth Management Hearings Board decision and order and (2) Allow all of the critical area regulations to become effective at the same

time. This emergency ordinance is necessary for the support of the County government and its existing institutions due to the unexpected unavailability of a Council member whose presence may be required to complete adoption of the proposed amendments and to immediately change the effective dates of the existing ordinances. The Ordinance may also be viewed 24 hours a day at the County website at http://www.sanjuanco.com/Council/PendingOrdinances.aspx. A copy of the proposed Ordinance will be mailed without charge upon request. For more information please contact the Clerk of the County Council at 360-370-7470 or Linda Kuller at 370-7572. LEGAL NO.
