accomplishment to 7 year old Deidra

WRIA 17 POLICY STATEMENT: A draft
policy statement was reviewed at the
Board’s October 17 meeting which is
intended to provide a clear expression of
the County’s position on the implementation
of the Watershed Plan for County staff,
watershed planning partners, and the
public. The Board continued review of the
draft policy document and concurred with
suggested revisions and then unanimously
approved the policy statement as revised.
The statement will be an attachment to a
resolution that is scheduled for discussion
and adoption on the Board’s agenda on
November 7, 2005.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The
following comments were made: the
Planning Commission submitted a letter
requesting that the Board appoint a
Planning Commission member to
participate in the remaining WRIA 17
process because the State has indicated
that the integration of watershed planning
with landuse management is being done in
other counties and it is an important issue
to be addressed in future planning; an
overview of the history of watershed
management in the County was read with
comments that DCD and the Planning
Commission need to be involved in the
WRIA process because of the landuse
issues; public outreach and working with
adjacent counties is critical in order to be
prepared to challenge DOE’s draft
regulations on instream flows; the Solid
Waste Ordinance that was passed by the
Board of Health includes enforcement
regulations to have people remove junk
cars from their property; and a suggestion
was made to reduce the number of
managers in several departments in order to
get the County budget in line.
