A petition signed by a property owner has successfully completed the petition method under Ch. 52.04 RCW to be annexed into the nearest FPD which is Jefferson County Fire Protection District No. 1 (dba East Jefferson Fire and Rescue). The petitioner has met the numerical requirements for annexation by petition and the Board of Commissioners for the Jefferson County FPD No. has agreed, via their Resolution No. 16-04, to accept the annexed territory. All that remains to be done, per RCW 52.04.011(3), is for the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners in their legislative capacity to "order" the incorporation of the territory subject to the petition "into the existing fire protection district." The attached Resolution formalizes the incorporation of the territory subject to the petition into the jurisdiction of the existing Jefferson County FPD No. 1 (dba East Jefferson Fire and Rescue). ANALYSIS: Given the concurrence of the affected citizens and the Commission of Jefferson County FPD No. 1 that such an annexation should occur, the County Commission should implement this final step to annexation. FISCAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached Resolution.

The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. Instructions for Applicants: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most, cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: For nonproject proposals complete this checklist and the supplemental sheet for nonproject actions (Part D). The lead agency may exclude any question for the environmental elements (Part B) which they determine do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.For nonproject actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area A.
