CONSENT CALENDAR (These are items that will be approved as a package unless a Board member or person from the audience requests an item be removed and discussed in detail individually.  The President will ask for any such requests at the beginning of the meeting.)

The Board discusses what it considers to be non-controversial issues between meetings and then conducts a vote on these in the regular meeting as a package to keep the regular meetings as time-effective as possible.

  1.  Approve Nature Center Committee request to do clearing and install more native plants per the Committee Project Test form*.  (This work is in keeping with the charter for preserving and maintaining the Nature Center.)
  2. Approve the installation of a new, more visible, sign for the Nature Center as proposed by the Nature Center Committee and in compliance with County sign ordinance requirements.  (This is to make the existence, as well as the entrance location, easily visible for 9th Avenue auto traffic.)
  3. Approve a FICRA event of a presentation of the book “An Owl’s Whisper” by the author, Michael Smith, tentatively set for Wednesday, July 25.  (This is like a book club book review that would be open to the public.  This book is about life in Belgium in the early 1940’s.)
  4. Approve South French drain Project Test submittal for $2,500.   (This project has been a top priority for some time to keep water out of the basement.  The committee managing this project has submitted a Project Test form* that includes the estimate to do the first step in water control.)
  5. Approve ending the active pursuit of oil spill consequences and close the insurance claim as soon as the final claim payments are received.  (The engineer advising FICRA on this believes there is no benefit to doing any further digging to look for contamination from the oil spill.  The State of Washington has indicated that there is no further investigation requested at this time, but they reserve the right to check the site in the future.)

 

 

*Note:  The Project Test forms will be posted on the bulletin board at Nichols Community Center several days before the regular Board meeting.
