The Silver Beach Neighborhood Association hosted the 2007 Candidate Forum. Lake Whatcom Reservoir was the topic of the forum and questions were related to the topic. Five of the seven candidates for Bellingham Mayor, Seth Fleetwood, Don Keenan, Dan Pike, Dan McShane, and Bob Ryan participated. All three candidates for the 4th Ward seat of the Bellingham City Council, Don Gischer, Damon Gray, and Stan Snapp participated. Candidates running for other city and county offices, Louise Bjornson. Larry Farr, Lois Garlick Michael Lilliquist, and Dave Pros were present. The forum moderator was Myron Wlaznak, SBNA vice-chair and the timekeeper was Lee Barron, SBNA representative to ABN. Mike Johnston, SBNA President summarized audience questions
The schedule of the Candidate Forum was as follows:
6:30-7:00 Informal discussions with candidates
7:00-7:15 Brief Introductions of candidates
Distribution of questions and copies of 100 word candidates’ statements
7:15-8:15 Three questions from the Moderator with order of response by random draw
2 minute response with 30 second warning
The three candidate questions were:
1. If you are elected, what specific actions will you take to protect Lake Whatcom Reservoir?
2. Many, if not most, residents of Silver Beach have observed violations of current rules and regulations such as the application of phosphorus fertilizers, exposure of large quantities of open dirt during the building moratorium season or exceeding the impermeable footprint for new lot development. What will you do to insure the enforcement of applicable rules and regulations?
Follow up: How would you pay for this? Who will pay for this?
3. How would you improve the interaction between the city, county, state and federal government regarding Lake Whatcom Reservoir water quality issues and what funding opportunities do you see with these interactions?
8:15-8:45 Questions from the Audience with order of response by random draw
1 minute response with 15 second warning
These audience questions were presented to the candidates:
1. Current city government is not particularly diverse, how would you build a more inclusive city government?
2. How much influence do you feel neighborhood associations should have on city decisions?
3. How would you bring more “living wage” jobs to Bellingham so we could retain more of the talented graduates WWU is producing?
4. Do you support a citizen review of the city charter?
5. How would you improve our options for alternative transportation that will get people out of their cars?
These audience questions were not asked due to time constraints:
1. As a leader, how would you go about shaping a city council that works effectively, together?
2. Some people in Bellingham would like to see the city become a sanctuary city with no cooperation between the city and the immigration and naturalization service. What is your stand on this issue?
3. In your view, what is the role of art in our community and would you support a percent for the arts
programs?
4. What is your position on the use of eminent domain for the city to take control of land in the watershed?
5. City council voted 7-0 to place the motor boats off the lake initiative on the ballot as written. The city attorney illegally blocked it. Should the initiative go on the ballot in 2007?
6. It you are elected, what specific actions will you take to implement stormwater management around the Lake Whatcom (Note. Various aspects to this question were covered under the SBNA questions).
7. Would you support the creation of a city or county human rights commission to hear complaints of discrimination in employment and in city services? Why?
8. In the last four years, vacancy appointments have been used to place white men only in 3 county judgeships: a mayor; and, a city council seat. What will you do to promote diversity in local government? (Note. Aspects of this question were addressed in question 5 from the audience).
9. What is your vision for the future of Bloedel Donovan Park in the scheme of Lake Whatcom and Parks & Rec in Bellingham?
10. Population Projections play a major role in how the city grows, would you support choosing a low, medium or high amount of people to accommodate and how would you raise funds to maintain our LOS levels to maintain our quality of life?
11. Property taxes have doubled in the past twenty years. Housing costs have tripled in the same period. People who have lived in their homes for 20 years face losing their homes to taxes. Young people cannot afford to live here and seek a life elsewhere. How would you address the property tax issue and affordable housing?
12. I have witnessed several instances of poor staff communication with the public especially with regard to planning issues within the watershed. How would you improve these?
13. Are you in favor of the city starting their own Division of Emergency Planning and breaking away from the county?
14. Since degradation of the watershed is caused by human presence, would you support a watershed residency fee on all people who choose to live in the watershed?
15. Are there ways to make it less desirable for people to build in the watershed that you support?
16. What do you plan to do about growth?
17. How do you plan on addressing the bad relationship between the county and the city of Bellingham?
18. Do you support amending the city and county codes to prohibit the same categories of discrimination as the Washington law against discrimination? Why?

c. Bill Bode – Facilities wjbode25@hotmail.com
d. Steve Hoekstra – Zoning slhoekstra@comcast.net
Flip Chart comments are below:
1. Are waterfront property owners allowed to develop a larger portion of their property due to 1960s concession? If so, should this be changed?
2. Include representation of county residents within watershed to form partnerships and help devise watershed practices and water quality solution.
3. Balance the aesthetic and environmental value of mature trees within the watershed with the desire to maintain view corridors.
4. Balance the need to limit impervious surfaces, keeping the footprint of houses small (building up, multi-story, instead of ramblers) within the watershed with the desire to maintain view corridors.
5. Include the benefits to the neighborhood and the environment by moving utilities underground.
6. Can we consolidate some of our 18 sub-neighborhoods?
7. We need to further define "20% of view" definition, and decide if this should be different for a tear down and rebuild or a remodel vs. new construction on a vacant lot.
8. What are our benchmarks for water quality? How will we know if we are achieving our goals?
9. Would like to see the owner of the commercial property included in our process.
10. General concerns that connecting streets (Sylvan) mentioned in zoning section will increase traffic within the watershed.
Comments from 3x5 cards are below:
1. I don’t think it’s a good idea to extend Sylvan to Barkley. I think the traffic on North Shore is going further out North Shore or out Britton Rd and would be coming from South to North along Electric, or from East to West (and visa versa) along Barkley or Alabama. There is not a destination cross flow between the area from Whatcom Falls Park to Barkley Blvd that is significant except for general increase to Bloedel from everywhere in the summer.
There is wild life and a pond at the North end of Sylvan and I think increased traffic would lead to pollution of the pond and danger to wildlife and pedestrians. Joanne Frantska
2. Why is there no provision prohibiting planting of trees that do or will block a view!!
3. NO EXTENSION OF SYLVAN to BARKLEY!! THE CRESTLINE AREA RESIDENTS DON’T WANT IT EITHER! (201 Peterson)
4. Area 5 – Connecting Sylvan to Barkley Blvd – I am opposed to it as it will only increase traffic through our neighborhood. – Most of it not from the neighborhood.
5. SIDEWALKS
5. The meeting was adjourned at 8:57 pm
