Port Ludlow Residents (Approximately 50 people) re: Unfair Assessments and Increased Taxes: Stan Kadesh, Port Ludlow resident, acted as a spokesperson for residents in Port Ludlow who came to protest the real property assessments in their area. He reported that some assessments increased more than 60%, which they feel is extremely high. There has to be fiscal responsibility in County government. Copies of a petition to put Initiative # 178 on the ballot which proponents say will provide property tax relief by freezing assessed values, limiting tax increases, and reducing the levy lid, were given to the Board. The discussion continued regarding tax assessments, taxes, the County's budget, affordable housing, and an explanation from the County Assessor, Jack Westerman, on how tax assess- ments are done, what tax levies are composed of, and how property owners can seek relief if they feel their assessment is not correct. PUBLIC SERVICES BRIEFING: Public Services Director Gary Rowe reported that a plan is being put together on the impact if Referendum 48 fails. They are researching and compiling the costs related to Growth Management for Jefferson County. We have received a survey from the Washington State Association of Counties on this question. The E911 Fund and what the impact will be when State funding runs out is also being researched for a report. The Prosecuting Attorney has reviewed the Subdivision Ordinance and SEP A Ordinance and language to address regulatory reform needs to be added to both these ordinances. Various portions of the Comprehensive Plan are being prepared to go to the printer. An urban growth area was designated for Port Ludlow and the Tri Area and all of the information that is being sent out will reflect that. He asked if they should adjust the Comprehensive Plan to reflect the changes to these two IUGA's since the Hearings Board determination says that the County can't have any UGA's if the City says it can handle all the growth. The City hasn't given a firm commitment on how much population they can handle. The Board members indicated that they want to discuss this with the Prosecuting Attorney before they send anything out, and with the City to set what population figure they will commit to. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following issues were discussed: The petition for incorporation of the City of Irondale; the designation of the Tri Area as an IUGA and how that impacts the submission of the petition for the incorporation of Irondale; the need for community support in the Irondale/Hadlock area for the incorporation; and the need for a meeting with the Prosecuting Attorney to discuss the Irondale incorporation petition.
