CLEAR AND BEAVER LAKE LANDOWNERS VOTE IN FAVOR OF LAKE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT

SKAGIT COUNTY - Clear and Beaver Lake landowners voted in December to form a lake management district by an 82 percent majority. As requested by the Clear and Beaver Lakes Advisory Committee, Skagit County has been assisting with the formal formation process of Lake Management District No. 4 for Clear and Beaver Lakes, as defined in RCW 36.61.  The primary goal of the Lake Management District will be to control and/or eradicate non-native aquatic noxious weeds.
The Board of Skagit County Commissioners signed a resolution submitting the question of creating Lake Management District No. 4 for Clear and Beaver Lakes (#R20060394) on November 21, 2006.  This resolution authorized County staff to mail ballots to the land owners within the proposed boundaries of the Lake Management District asking the voters if they are in favor of forming the district. County staff is currently drafting an ordinance for the Board of Commissioners approval that will officially form the district. This ordinance will be followed in 2-3 months by a Public Hearing to confirm the assessment roll.
 As required in RCW 36.61.100, the counted ballots will be available for public inspection at the Skagit County Public Works Office; 1800 Continental Place, Mount Vernon, WA 98273.
