Two issues on the ballot :
Election and Ferry Schedule Advisory Ballot, February 22, 2006 [1.30.06] At the ferry committee annual meeting on Sunday January 8th 2006, only one candidate was nominated to replace the opening left by the retirement of Marilee Fosbre. That candidate is Dyvon Havens. There will be two other issues on the ballot for the registered voter’s consideration.
Item #2 is only an advisory issue to help the ferry committee understand the desires of the electorate. There is no expectation that the county will take any action as a result of the voting. The organizations Friends of Guemes Island and the Skagit County Citizens for Professional Transportation Management (SCCfPTM) were requested to write position papers against and in support of the proposal. SCCfPTM declined to write a position paper, however, Jim O’Neil graciously accepted this role. The position papers and rebuttals are attached and will also be included in the mail out ballot material. Election Day is February 22, 2006. Late registrants may vote at the Guemes Island church between 3 and 5 PM on that day. Bring your registration card and photo identification with you. Vote counting will be conducted at the Community Center on Saturday at 1 PM. Thank you for participating
in the election, |
