Council Responsibilities in January Hearings . All Council members, both agency and local representatives, were strongly encouraged to attend the stipulation and land use hearings scheduled for January. At the land use hearings, Council members will hear testimony about whether the project is consistent with local land use regulations. This testimony may include stipulations between local jurisdictions and the applicant regarding related environmental issues. The information presented at both stipulation and land use hearings will become part of the adjudicative record.
Council members are responsible for the entire adjudicative record.
For the land use hearings, Joleen Karl will distribute a list of motels that are within the state-lodging rate. If there is sufficient interest, Joleen may be able to arrange transportation from Olympia to eastern Washington in the Washington State Patrol plane. Interested Council members should contact Joleen promptly to allow sufficient time to explore this possibility. Mr. Mel Wilson, the Council member representing the city of Kittitas, has resigned. Staff will ask the city to name a replacement for Mr. Wilson.
