is a second renewal for another three years of a contract that has been in place for quite some time with

PLUNKETT, TO EXCUSE COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS FROM THE COUNCIL MEETING OF
DECEMBER 7. MOTION CARRIED. The vote was 4-0-1 with Councilmember Orvis abstaining.
egional Councilmember Wilson reported on an item that was discussed at the Community Services/Development
Board of Services Committee meeting earlier this evening. He referred to the draft Interlocal Agreement that has
Appeals been developed for a Regional Board of Appeals to deal with building code issues. Snohomish County,
which is one jurisdiction considering it, balked at one element in the agreement regarding a public notice
requirement for hearings on the appeals to the Building Official's decision. He pointed out an appeal to
this Board would be of a technical nature rather than a discretionary nature.
Councilmember Wilson further explained the proposed amendment to the agreement would remove the
provision for public notice of hearings on Appeals Board decisions. The current language requires public
notice to 100 feet around the subject property. By removing this requirement, notice of the hearing would
still be posted on the property, however, it would not be required to mail out notices to adjoining
properties.
City Attorney Scott Snyder pointed out that Snohomish County is adamant that they do not want to
provide notice to 100 feet around the subject property. He commented that since this is a non
discretionary matter where it is usually of a very technical nature, it is hard to argue with their rationale.
Councilmember Wilson asked if there would be a consensus of the Council to bring this item back as a
Consent Agenda item for the January 4 Council Meeting. It was the consensus of the Council to place
this matter on the January 4 Consent Agenda.,
Executive 6. EXECUTIVE SESSION
Session
At 7:12 p.m. Mayor Haakenson announced that the City Council would recess to a twenty minute
executive session to discuss a legal matter. The City Council would adjourn from the executive session
with no action taken.
