The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners enter the following findings:
I) A notice of the proposed incorporation of a new city entitled "Tri-Area" was filed with
the Board of County Commissioners on Septemb~r 5, 1998.
2) A Boundary Review Board for Jefferson County does not exist.
3) Pursuant to Ch. 35.02.015 RCW, the Board of Jefferson County Commissioners held a
public meeting on October 15, 1998.
4) Petitions for incorporation were submitted to the Jefferson County Auditor and
certified as sufficient on May 10, 1999.
5) The Board of Jefferson County Commissioners conducted a pubic hearing on July 8,
1999 and continued the hearing until August 26, 1999 at which time the hearing was
closed.
6) Jefferson County has adopted a Comprehensive Land Use Plan that calls for the
continued study of land use options for the Tri-Area and Glen Cove sub-areas. This
study includes options for establishing an Urban Growth Area for Tri-Area. This study
is not yet complete and no Urban Growth Area has yet been established.
7) Pursuant to Ch. 35.02.070, the Board of County Commissioners shall establish and
define the boundaries ofthe proposed city or town, being authorized to decrease or
increase the area proposed in the petition under the same restrictions that a Boundary
Review Board may modify the proposed boundaries.
8) Pursuant to Ch. 36.93 RCW, a Boundary Review Board may adjust boundaries to add
or delete territory; however, a Boundary Review Board shall remove territory in the
proposed incorporation that is located outside of an urban growth area or is annexed by
a city or town.
9) Pursuant to Ch. 35.02.010 RCW, areas proposed for incorporation must contain not
less than one thousand five hundred inhabitants. By removing all areas outside of an
Urban Growth Area, no area remains, therefore no inhabitants are contained within the
proposed area for incorporation.

Petition for the City ofTri-Area
Based on the findings entered above the Board of County Commissioners makes the
following determination:
Whereas, a petition for the incorporation of the City of Tri-Area has been properly
petitioned for and certified by the County Auditor to be adequate; and,
Whereas, the Washington State Supreme Court has ruled that legislative bodies in
county without Boundary Review Boards must follow the same procedures those with
Boundary Review Boards; and,
Whereas, the Washington State Supreme Court has ruled that areas outside of Urban
Growth Areas cannot, under current law, be incorporated; and,
Whereas, the process to adjust boundaries as outlined in the statute would result in no
ar be incorporated containing no inhabitants; and,
Whereas, the resulting area for the proposed incorporation of Tri-Area does not meet
the legal requirements to become incorporated as outlined in Ch. 35.02 RCW; and,
Now Therefore Be It Resolved, that the Board of Jefferson County Commissioners
does hereby disapprove the proposed incorporation of Tri-Area.
ApprUlled and adopted this rday of ~ ~ 1999 by the Board of Jefferson
