David Irons – Update on the proposed Critical Areas Ordinance Update

§

David Irons presented a slate of questions that he, Ms. Lambert and Mr. Hammond drafted and submitted to DDES and DNR. Amendments related to these specific questions are being drafted and will be submitted for consideration to the County Council. Some of the highlights from these efforts include:

- Based largely on the recent presentation by the State Dept. of Ecology, proposes site specific regulation based on local characteristics and impacts
- Proposes a checklist by which to categorize site characteristics to determine which level of regulation is appropriate for a specific property
- There is still a lot of work to be done when the proposed ordinance is passed out of committee and is then formally under the consideration of the full County Council. Mr. Irons expects several substantive amendments to be considering throughout that last phase.

Elections Committee

§

It was discussed and decided that a final reminder email should be sent by the secretary to make sure people on the FCUAC email list know that the deadline for declaring candidacy is the 18th.

Ballots are nominally complete. Changes will only be required in the case of a last minute candidate declaration.

Ballots will be mailed on October 19, and a printable version will be posted on the website at that time as well.

Executive Committee

§

The FCUAC received a request for information from the IRS. Edie J. will investigate.

The PO Box rent is due before the last day of the month. Payment of this kind of expense is within the authority of the Treasurer, and the WaMu account has sufficient funds to cover it. It is expected that this payment deadline will be met.

We are now receiving correspondence from WaMu at the FCUAC PO Box, so we know that Heather C.’s efforts at sorting that out have been successful.
