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. A . � 'e. &-.� �SANDRA S.
