Skagit County Code
14.44 Enforcement - Update on Citizens' Work
After 40 plus hours of
work by a volunteer citizens' group and three meetings
(one lead by Comm. Wesen and one lead by Comm.
Dahlstedt), Ryan Walters, Prosecuting Attorney's Office
staff presented the final draft to the BOCC on September
16, 2014. Friends thanks the many citizens who
wrote comments and scheduled time to attend these
working meetings and the public meetings. This
model of using citizen committee to propose updates to
the Skagit County code has proven to be a good way to
work on the issues. Special thanks to Roger
Mitchell, Randy and Aileen Good, Ed Stauffer, Andrea
Xaver, Ellen Bynum and Paul Taylor for their time and
work.
On September 16, 2014 the
Board of County Commissioners decided to allow two
additional weeks for public comment on the new and final
draft of the changes to the Skagit County Code Section
14.44. The BOCC will adopt the final draft under
the consent agenda after the public comment period has
closed. You can read the new and old versions of
the Section 14.44 code
here.
Additional changes in the
procedures that the Planning and Development Services
Code Enforcement Officer uses in notifying citizens and
working with them to achieve compliance were given to
the BOCC in testimony on Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2014.
