Council readies to back CAO

Tangled up over tax breaks

Legal challenge to newly revised landuse rules could follow

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

Another chapter in the seemingly unending Critical Areas Ordinance update process is reaching a conclusion. The County Council was scheduled to complete the current installment at a March 5 special meeting. But this chapter is far from the end of the story. At a Feb. 25 public hearing, the Council considered 26 amendments to three of four critical areas ordinances originally passed in late 2012, which were intended to bring the environmental and construction permitting regulations into compliance with the state Growth Management Act. “All of us have reservations about the CAO, but we have worked together and we have been able to approve options provided by the planning commission that will put the county in compliance,” Council Chairman Rick Hughes said. An “update” of four critical areas regulations was originally required by the GMA to be completed by 2006, but procedural and substantive impediments delayed completion until 2012. The council’s 2012 enactments were then appealed to the Growth See CAO, Page 3

A newly contoured curb at the corner of Blair Avenue and Spring Street helps San Juan Island’s Aaron D’Errico navigate the streets of Friday Harbor.

Safe passage through town Clunky curbs prove no match for Friday Harbor artist By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

Sometimes you don’t have to fight city hall to get things done. All Aaron D’Errico had to do was ask. At D’Errico’s urging, Town of Friday Harbor Administrator Duncan Wilson agreed to build a couple of ramps on downtown sidewalks to help himself and others with mobility challenges—like mothers pushing strollers, seniors and bicyclists— get across Spring Street. D’Errico has been maneuvering his motorized wheelchair around Friday Harbor since he was a kid, and he hasn’t let cerebral palsy or even getting run over by a truck in front of the Palace theater in 2011 stop him from getting things done for himself and others. Several years ago, he was instrumental in getting stop signs put in at Second and Guard streets after almost getting hit while crossing the street in

front of the community theatre. “People here and across the country have helped me,” D’Errico said, noting it took little effort to convince Wilson and Mayor Carrie Lacher to cut four curbs and install ramps at two Spring Street intersections in downtown Friday Harbor. “I’m very grateful for that help and it makes me want to help others however I can.” D’Errico knows how those ramps will help a lot of people in addition to himself. While visiting the ramp location recently for photos, Aaron was pleased when a senior with a walker and a family with a stroller used the ramps within five minutes. “All I had to do was call Mr. Wilson and explain the situation,” he said. “Before I knew it, it was done.” Wilson said he knew immediately the location D’Errico was talking about when he called a couple of weeks ago. “I love it when things happen the way they’re supposed to,” he said. “Those curbs at the Spring Street, Argyle Street “Y” and a block west at Caines Street, near the Presbyterian Church, are difficult for a lot of mobility-impaired people.

Four property tax breaks for agricultural, timber and “open open space” have recently become an issue for voters, the County Council, San Juan County Assessor Charles Zalmanek and the Washington State legislature. The tax breaks are important to the property owners, especially the growing number of small farmers in the county trying to make a living from agriculture or forestry. Both the assessor and the county council are clear that they See BREAKS, Page 5

News briefs Chief appraiser makes bid for assessor post

John Kulseth, chief appraiser for the Assessor’s office, will run this year to succeed Charles Zalmanek as San Juan County Assessor. Zalmanek is not seeking a third term. Zalmanek has endorsed Kulseth, as has the prior assessor, Paul Dossett. Kulseth, an attorney by training, has worked in the assessor's office for 10 years. "I have participated in every function of the assessor's office," he said in a press release announcing his candidacy. The assessor's office fixes the value of property in the county for the calculation of property taxes and administers the property tax and the vari-

ous tax exemption programs for agricultural, timber and open space land. The assessor manages a ten-person office and administers a budget of about $917,000. The salary is just under John Kulseth $75,000 annually. “The property tax system is fundamental to government budgeting and taxpayer trust and I will dedicate my time and effort to resolving those challenges and providing the services we all want and expect as taxpayers, and I look forward to talking with the community about the issues affecting our property taxes and asking for your vote in November, Kulseth said.

he’s prepared to revisit the ordinances if the board or the courts require further changes. Councilman Jamie Stephens said, “it was not an easy task to keep the focus” on complying with the hearings board, but he agrees with Hughes that “when it’s implemented, we’ll find out what works and doesn’t work, and make necessary changes.” Councilman Bob Jarman, just back from a hospital stay with a difficult staph infection, joined his colleagues in asking for future changes.

“I still feel the CAO is anti-development and needs further work,” Jarman said. “As Tom Starr said, what is the problem we’re trying to fix? We need to finish these amendments for the hearings review board now, but someday we need to come back to these ordinances and take one item at a time and correct it.” The board will convene another hearing, set for April 24, to determine whether the amendments comply with the September 2013 order. Further action by the county can be required.

The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

Neil A. Tarte: 1927—2014 Neil A. Tarte, of Roche Harbor, joined his beloved wife Margaret on Monday, Feb. 24, at the age of 86 years. Neil’s love of life, family, and friends was boundless. Neil’s good nature and gracious Northwest hospitality is intertwined with the lives of the many who visited, lived, and worked at Roche Harbor since its inception as a resort. His home was always open, welcoming all who walked through the door with a smile and… yes, if cocktail hour, a martini. Neil was born, May 28, 1927, in Seattle to Clara and Reuben Tarte. His love of yachting started at an early age, taking a boat with his sisters Mary Lou and Teresa across Lake Washington from his childhood home on Yarrow Point to the Madison Dock to attend Seattle Prep, and later Seattle University, where he met his late wife of 56 years, Margaret Spane. At 16, Neil started driving for his father’s business, Transport Storage. This was the beginning of his life-long love of the automobile and of his passion for classic cars. Neil was a member of the Classic Car Club of America, and loved tinkering with his cars and sharing his enjoyment of them with others. Whether it was representing the Lion’s Club in the Fourth of July Parade in Friday Harbor, taking a grandchild out for ice cream, escorting a bride to church, or taking Margaret out on the town to join friends

at the San Juan Yacht Club, he always enjoyed being behind the wheel. City life was not for Neil. He moved his family to Roche Harbor in 1956 together with his visionary Contributed photo parents, sisters, Neil Tarte and brothersin-law following the purchase of Roche Harbor Lime and Cement Co. In those formative years of what is now known as Roche Harbor Resort, the Tarte family rolled up its collective sleeves with Neil managing the efforts to transform the company mining town into the most popular yachting destination on the West Coast. The strong family ties to the Seattle and Columbia River Yacht Clubs soon brought the boats cruising north to stop for provisions, a warm meal, cold beverages, and a gracious welcome. It didn’t take long for Neil’s Seattle friends, looking for a summer weekend retreat, to understand what Neil loved in Roche Harbor, the islands and the beautiful cruising waters that surround it. Before long, many of these guests became part of the extended Tarte family of Roche Harbor, with many of their children on the payroll. As general manager of the resort, Neil guided the building of the moorage docks, airport, roads, pool, condominiums, guest facilities, and with his brother, Dr. Larry Tarte, the tennis courts. Together with his mother, Our Lady of Good Voyage Chapel was consecrated, welcoming all guests. Neil established the enduring culture of guest service and hospitality at Roche Harbor. His real joy was being host to all who visited the Resort. To Neil, the resort and guests were extensions of his home and family. Neil was most comfortable PROFESSIONAL • ACCOUNTABLE walking the docks, greeting INNOVATIVE each guest by name, telling one of his many stories, and Available evenings & weekends enjoying the sunset to the

Breaks: Cont. from page 1 don’t want to make things more difficult for small farmers. The four tax programs reduce the property tax assessment on land from the usual fair market value of the property to the current use value for agricultural, forestry or simple “open open space.” These tax preferences were enacted by the people in 1968, when a whopping 68 percent of the voters approved the Open Space Taxation Amendment to Article VII of the Washington Constitution.

The tax benefits from the programs are generous. The “current use” value of agriculture land in the county is only 4.6 percent of fair market value of that land. The property taxes on land in the timber programs are calculated on an even lower average, six-tenths of one percent of fair market value. Of the 110,142 acres of properties in San Juan County, only some 56,000 acres, or under 51 percent, are assessed and taxed at the “highest and best use,” which is the fair market value of land and improvements. Current use agriculture, open space and forestland acres comprise 27.8

OPINION Letters to the Editor

Road trip in town? Bicyclists beware

I have written before about the unsafe road projects going on. The narrowing of roads is making it extremely dangerous for bike riders. The most worrisome is Guard Street, where the narrowing is so extreme that if you have pickups parked on both sides, two school buses cannot pass. This puts any middle and high school student commuting by bike at extreme risk, not to mention the rest of us. I enjoy bike riding and have commuted during elementary school, middle school, high school, college, medical school, residency, and finally here in Friday Harbor. I have commuted in Los Angeles, Denver, Portland, and Washington DC. and other cities. Nowhere have I felt it more dangerous than in the town of Friday Harbor. When I drive down Guard (apologies to Tennyson) I always think “cars to the right of me, cars to the left of me, cars in front of me, into the jaws of death rides the intrepid bike rider.” In addition to these dangers the new bump-outs are so extreme that emergency vehicles have a hard time making the turns. They are not alone. All you need to do is look at all the black tire marks on the new construction to immediately know that many cars are scraping the curb and there is absolutely no room for a bicyclist, again creating

a very dangerous situation. I would encourage the residents of the island to deny more tax dollars for road projects until a safer design is approved. If we have higher taxes, I would encourage them to first be spent modifying the recent “improvements”. I have taken care of too many injured people through the years and know when cars and bikes collide, the biker always loses. It is only a matter of time before we see a fatality and it may well be one of our school children. BURK GOSSOM, MD San Juan Island

The long shadow of Exxon Valdez

This coming March 24th marks the 25th anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Obviously not a day to celebrate, but it is an opportunity to ask questions and take action. Could it happen here? With the proposed increase in fossil fuel exports from our region, thousands more tankers will be annually transiting our county waters, so yes— it could happen here. Twenty-five years ago, the small communities of Prince William Sound, dependent (as are we) upon a healthy environment for their economic survival, suffered a devastating loss that is still being felt today. I can’t even imagine how horrible it would be to see your favorite beach, your waterfront property, your livelihood all being drowned in oil. So what do we do to make sure it doesn’t happen here? It’s going to take more than

denial, or hope. We need action. One action to take is to train to be a volunteer with Islands’ Oil Spill Association (IOSA)—we are fortunate to have them here in the islands. But should we have a major oil spill, we will need far more response resources than we have. So, the other action to take: ask our governor, Coast Guard commander, and federal and state representatives the tough questions. Are we prepared for a major oil spill? What happens to our economy and environment if there is a spill? Do we have the resources to respond, contain, and clean up? Who pays for all this? Don’t stop bugging them until they have answers and take action, too. We need equipment, training and personnel to clean up an oil spill. We need regulations that ensure safe shipping and those that hold the responsible party responsible for full payment of the clean-up. It makes me shudder just to say “clean-up”, but we have to get real. Local events are being planned—on or before March 24—to inform our community about the projects that would bring more deep-draft vessel traffic in our straits and what would happen to our islands in the event of a spill. Watch your calendars, become informed, take action, and maybe we can turn this tragic anniversary into a proactive one for our community. Thank you.

As I See It

Three-step fix for ferry system By Kevin Ranker

Special to the Journal

he level of unpredictability and lack of ferry service in recent months is unacceptable. As a frequent ferry commuter myself, I share the frustration other riders have with the inconsistent and uneven service. I also agree that the responsibility for this lies not as much with Washington State Ferries, but right here in Olympia. The problem is that Olympia treats our ferry system differently than the rest of our state’s transportation system. That mentality is the first thing that must change. In addition to that, there are three steps that Olympia must take to make a noticeable difference in our ferry system. First, we must pass Rep. Jeff Morris’ bill to build a third new 144-car ferry. I am championing this effort in the Senate. There have been efforts to divert the money in the bill from construction of a third vessel to operations, but we have been successful so far in keeping the bill focused on construction of the third 144-car vessel.

Make the most New revenue needed for road repairs list for repairs tops $10M, boost in with your meal Price town sales tax would help cover that cost

hat are you doing for lunch? More specifically, what are you doing next Wednesday— March 12—for lunch? Well, consider this; it’s the best choice one could make for a mid-day meal on that date. From noon to 1:30 p.m., the Mullis Community Senior Center and the dedicated folks of Whatcom-San Juan Senior Nutrition Program will present a special luncheon program, with proceeds benefitting the local senior nutrition program. The menu in and of itself is appetizing, featuring gourmet Asian chicken, spring rolls and dessert, all for only $10 per person. Can’t beat that. But that’s not all. The luncheon includes a raffle drawing with prizes and live entertainment, with Jim Moe dressed to impress and doing it “his way” with a lively impersonation of Frank Sinatra and musical tribute to “‘ol blue eyes” himself. The benefit will be held at the Mullis Center for the second consecutive year in conjunction with “March for Meals,” a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about hunger among seniors and the needs and successes of senior nutrition program. If you’re not familiar with the program, well, the numbers are eye-opening. In 2013, a total of 2,260 meals were delivered to local homebound seniors and 9,110 community meals were served in Friday Harbor through San Juan’s senior nutrition program. At 26.3 percent, San Juan County is home to twice the number of people 65 years and older than the statewide average (13.2 percent). We’re lucky in that way. But despite perceptions of the outside world, not all the seniors in the San Juans are wealthy retirees living in the lap of luxury, or well-fed, for that matter. So, mark March 12 on your calendar, noon to 1:30 p.m. The luncheon promises to be a delectable and entertaining opportunity to contribute to a program that plays a crucial role in helping out many of our seniors.

By Duncan Wilson, administrator, Town of Friday Harbor Special to the Journal

et’s face it, nobody likes paying taxes. However, as noted (at right, by A. Vanderbilt), they are the lifeblood of government. Acceptance of taxes appears tied to keeping them fair, keeping them low, and spending them on only the most important plans and projects. The Town of Friday Harbor enjoys one of the lowest property tax rates of all cities and towns in the state of Washington. In addition, we have no local business and occupation tax and are one of the few municipalities in the state without a utility tax. How can we do it? One answer is that we run a pretty tight ship, and the other is that Friday Harbor is blessed with robust sales tax revenue, a product of a healthy tourist/visitor economy. A significant portion of our general fund operations are paid with these revenues. Sales tax revenue has a silver lining as well: it is “O.P.M.”... or Other People’s Money. While town residents do pay sales tax, a large portion of our sales-tax revenue is paid by people living in the county or from visitors off-island. This is only fair as Friday Harbor has to build and maintain the streets, parks and facilities that they all use while they are here. Why are we talking about taxes? As the Duncan Wilson town administrator, I have been meeting with the mayor, council and Public Works Director Wayne Haefele, to discuss the horrible condition of many of our streets. All of you have your favorite street or avenue to despise—pot holes, cracks, bumps and erosion make some of them a nightmare. Public Works has undertaken a study to determine how much money we need to bring our streets back into repair and to complete the construction of sidewalks to improve our walkability. The cost is estimated at over $10 million, and we are just finishing a complete survey that will give us a much more accurate figure. This is a staggering sum for a town of our size. In order to address the obvious deficiencies, I am proposing to the council that we adopt a “Transportation Initiative”; a plan to fund our transportation needs and return our streets to an acceptable condition over the next 15 years. Two more questions arise at this point: Why have our streets become so bad? and are we the only ones facing this problem? Let’s start with the easy question... we are not alone. The Association of Washington Cities, an organization that represents all 281 municipalities in our state, has done several studies and found the deterioration of infrastructure within cities and towns to be at epidemic proportions. In a recent publication, AWC went so far as to declare our state’s infrastructure to be “in crisis”. Seattle alone, for instance, has 480 miles of street with no sidewalks. In a companion piece entitled “DANGER: Rough Road Ahead”, AWC identified the problems of growing costs and shrinking revenues. Every city and town is falling behind. The harder question to answer is why the roads became so bad in the first place. AWC identifies several reasons in its publications. These include: drastic transportation funding cuts from statewide initiatives ($1.2 billion); discontinuation of small-city paving program (impacting 157

“Taxes are the lifeblood of government and no taxpayer should be permitted to escape the payment of his just share of the burden of contributing thereto.”— Arthur T. Vanderbilt cities and towns); a 40 percent decrease in per capita state gas tax distributions. As revenue was lost following state initiatives, cities began to look for ways in which to balance their general fund budgets. Police and fire are a significant portion of all budgets, but citizens are not happy with any loss to these essential public services. The natural place to balance the budget was to defer maintenance and construction of transportation improvements and repairs. The “Great Recession” further impacted revenues and compounded the problem. We are currently paying the price for these long-term maintenance deferrals, but we can reverse the trend and begin the long “road” to restore our infrastructure. Our proposed first step in this new transportation initiative is to ask the town council to create a Transportation Benefit District (TBD). Once formed, the TBD can call for the vote of the citizens of the Town of Friday Harbor on whether to increase the sales tax by .2 of one percent (which would raise our in-town sales tax from 8.1 to 8.3 percent). This new sales tax would result in approximately $220,000 of new revenue annually to the town and is exclusively dedicated, by law, to paying for transportation infrastructure; streets, sidewalks and trails. This sales tax will not be enough, by itself, to fund the entire transportation initiative but it is a great first step. The benefit of a sales tax increase is that it is paid by everyone who purchases in town, including tourists and county residents. In this way, it removes a significant portion of the burden off the Friday Harbor resident taxpayer. If you buy $5,000 worth of taxable goods in town each year, you will pay an additional $10 annually (no sales taxes on food, prescriptions or gasoline). However, with everyone paying the new sales tax the burden will be shared by all of those that take advantage of our transportation system. In the Journal of the San Juan Islands editorial on Feb. 19, the paper asked for public discourse over the purpose of taxes and their justification. The town, as a governmental entity, is often painted with the broad brush of dissatisfaction reserved for the federal government. We are, like most local jurisdictions, completely different. We must balance our budget, we cannot print money, and if we borrow we have to identify the revenues to pay it back. The Town of Friday Harbor has been a good steward of the public’s money. We are seeking new revenues to repair the basic needs of the community. It is time to remove the stigma that all taxes are bad. How you spend them dictates their worth. you so much to Shelley Alan, Minola Motha de Silva, Carol Hooper, Clare Kelm, and Bill Pike for volunteering their time. They are super docents. Not everyone who wanted to visit had the opportunity to do so that weekend.

Don’t worry, we are open every day from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., and are still “Free for Locals” every Thursday. Thank you on behalf of The Whale Museum Board and staff members, JENNY L. ATKINSON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

sure that boat remains in service to the San Juans yearround by the end of 2015. This is critical if we are to have more reliable service. Securing the third new 144-car vessel will help make this a reality as that boat can support needs elsewhere in the system in the winter. The third issue we must tackle is a transportation revenue package. We can build all the new boats we want, but if we don’t have the money to operate them, we will still have poor service and increasing fares. Currently, transportation is one of several political footballs being kicked around the capital. It’s cliché to say it, but there are no Republican roads and there are no Democratic bridges. We all depend on our transportation system and any solution for an issue of this magnitude will have to be of the bipartisan variety. Unfortunately, a transportation revenue package cannot happen without revenue and there are some that argue that we cannot raise taxes, no matter what the cost. I would argue that ferries will continue to break and bridges will continue to fall until we have a bold and thoughtful discussion that creates a new revenue package to support our state’s transportation infrastructure. David Moseley, Assistant Transportation Secretary and the man in charge of ferries, pointed out correctly in the Journal recently that the funds allocated by the legislature

since 2000 are not enough to adequately operate our state’s ferry system. I would go further and say that our entire state’s transportation infrastructure is woefully lacking and upgrading it is not only a matter of commerce and transportation, it is a matter of public safety. If we were to pass a transportation revenue package, we could not only have a third ferry, but we would be able to backfill ferry operations and capital accounts so that we have a sustainable and reliable ferry system. I cannot stress enough the good this would do for our state. As politicians, we should not be afraid of thoughtfully discussing revenues and taxes in an election year, we should be afraid of what will happen if we don’t. It’s time to put politics aside and get this job done. — Editor’s note: State Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, represents the 40th District, which, in addition to San Juan and portions of Skagit and Whatcom counties, includes the cities of Anacortes, Bellingham, Burlington and Mount Vernon.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’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 seller’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.
