Fireworks in Island County

 

Here is a link to the official documents being considered:  Ordinance C-46-13 Aligning Island County's Fireworks Regulations with the State Fireworks Law, Chapter 70.77 RCW, Repealing ICC 14.03.120, and Adding New ICC 9.08A.010      

The capacity of our local law and justice programs is stretched to meet our community's needs. There are two opportunities in District 1 to learn more about a proposal to help fix this problem. A presentation will be made at the June 24th Monday evening meeting in Coupeville about a Law and Justice levy being considered by the Commissioners as a possible ballot measure in November. Here is a link to the document. Another public meeting on this topic will be held on 7 pm, July 10 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland. I am interested in hearing your thoughts on what law and justice services are important for you and if you would vote for additional funding to support them.

 

On Wednesday Mayor Conard and I hosted a community meeting with representatives from our congressional delegation to hear about the recent transition to the Growler planes at OLF and how that has affected Central Whidbey residents and businesses. Many people turned out and shared their concerns. We are currently compiling all the input and will be scheduling meetings with congressional staff and Naval Air Station Whidbey leadership to talk about what we heard and look for ways to mitigate the impacts.
