- ULID and Annexation Update: The resolution to Annex Flaura’s Acres was approved unanimously by the town council at yesterday’s meeting, and now it is being submitted to the county review board. The Clallam County review board has 45 days to say that if they want to take the lead (the town does not anticipate that this will be the case). Then, in mid-July (after the 16th), it will go to the Office of Financial Management.
- Other:
- Katie is tracking the contract engineer, Zach’s progress on the design of the water plans and specs. He is currently behind, and the new deadline for the plan is the first week of July.
- Scott anticipates the finalization of the annexation being able to go before the city council at their last meeting in July (24th).
- DOH questioned the timing for receiving the invoice for the connection fees. It was recommended that they submit as soon as possible. The approved connection fees from DOH are at the in-city rate. Currently, the ULID amount is based on the outside-city rate, but this will be amended once the annexation is approved.
- Flaura’s Acre leadership asked if there was anything needed from the association regarding the ULID. And the town said, “Not at this time.”
