Deputy Mayor Sandra Hall
leaving Battle Ground council

Sandra Hall, Battle Ground deputy mayor, has resigned from the city council for personal reasons, citing that her family and her job need close attention.

Hall was elected to position 2 on the council in 2001 to fill a vacancy and was re-elected for a second term in 2004. She was elected by the council to be deputy mayor in 2004 and again in 2006.

Hall is not a candidate for re-election to position 2 on the council this year. The term expires at the end of this year.

The Battle Ground council will determine how to fill the vacancies on the council that will exist until January 2008.

County commissioners to air Steve Stuart’s
development rights proposal November 6

Clark County commissioner Steve Stuart has proposed that Clark County follow guidelines of a Transfer of Development Rights program in force in several Washington counties that gives property owners the right to use, build on, or transfer or sell development rights to a third party.

The TDR program would provide fungible value to agricultural property that is otherwise not developable.

The county’s newly adopted Comprehensive Growth Management Program created 12,023 acres of property into revised growth management boundaries, including 4,218 acres zoned for agricultural uses.

County commissioners are holding a hearing on the proposal at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5.

No problemo

Clark County has teamed up with a telephone interpretive service proficient in 170 languages to assist calls between non-English-speaking or nonfluent English-speaking customers and all county departments and services.

Whether on the telephone or in person, non-English speakers can be connected with county officials and can talk to them and get answers in their native language.

The service was recommended by the county Diversity Advisory Committee. Nearly one in five county residents are non-native English speakers.
