NEW BUSINESS
Resolution 18-064 Adopting a State Legislative Agenda
Mayor Stinson led a discussion of additional edits before the resolution is finalized.
Amendments suggested were as follows: ensure the second bullet to amend RCW
84.08 (addressing certification of boundaries) references the correct RCW. More
would be added on the Climate Change item, including an added reference to the
2002 Senate Report by the Gate Foundation on the last bullet. Mr. Gray noted that
he submitted four recommended additions. Mayor Stinson recommended she reach
out to the hospital board before finalizing sexual assault language. Ms. Sandoval
also asked to include Port Townsend in the list of affected areas for Section 106
noise mitigation pertaining to the U.S. Navy's expansion. Two items mentioned
related to sensible funding measures for prevention of fires and health of the Orca
pod were thought to be related to Climate change and might be able to be added as
a subcategory.
There was consensus of Council to direct the Mayor to finalize the changes to
Exhibit A.
There was no public comment.
Motion: David Faber moved to approve Resolution 18-064 Adopting a State
Legislative Agenda (as amended). Ariel Speser seconded.
