Burke said the changes address inconsistencies in the municipal code that now route nuisance abatement appeals and other code-violation appeals to different adjudicators. He argued consolidating appeals with the hearing examiner would reduce the appearance of politicized decisions and prevent ex parte communications that can arise if council members act as quasi-judicial decision-makers. \"Empowering the hearing examiner to hear all such appeals would also remove the city council from direct involvement in quasi-judicial appeal processes,\" Burke said. He added that the ordinance is intended to ensure the city can recover the cost of staff time, attorney time and outside consultants from responsible parties so that those costs do not fall on taxpayers.

Council members asked whether the ordinance would require additional review by the planning commission; Burke replied it would not, because the changes relate to recoupment and appeal routes rather than land-use zoning. Committee members agreed the ordinance should move forward; the group discussed scheduling and confirmed the item will go to the city council for first reading at the next council meeting. Staff will place the ordinance on the council agenda for consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-02-03 Snoqualmie Community Development Committee Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","City Attorney Burke presented a draft ordinance to allow the city to recover costs for code enforcement and nuisance abatement and to clarify that appeals should be heard by the hearing examiner rather than the city council.

Burke said the city received a bill of sale and warranty of construction for the water improvements in 1998 and that Resolution 485 accepted conveyance of the completed water system. Because the improvements were conveyed and the listed attachments appear completed, Burke described the termination as \"really just a housekeeping item to clear up title.\" The committee directed staff to place the termination agreement on the next council meeting consent agenda, with authorization for the mayor to sign if council approves.

Council Member Johnson asked whether the termination would affect a single property or the entire Snoqualmie Ridge; Burke said the termination covers specific parcel numbers listed on the recorded title and that, given the conveyance, the city likely cannot reassert obligations under the agreement. City Administrator Chambliss added that the wastewater treatment facility installed in 1998 has been rebuilt twice since then. Burke said there was no apparent financial impact from the termination. Staff will bring the termination agreement forward on the consent agenda for formal council action.","City attorney told the committee the 1997 developer extension agreement for the Snoqualmie Ridge water system appears satisfied and recommended terminating the recorded agreement to clear title; the committee directed staff to place the termination on the next council consent agenda.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6350612,"Committee forms selection team to evaluate affordable and workforce housing RFQ",515,205000,720000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2232195-4ec9bfe52319582d038b6c4484187e73&start=205&end=720","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2232195-4ec9bfe52319582d038b6c4484187e73/thumbnail_205000.jpg","/articles/6350612/Snoqualmie/King-County/Washington/Committee-forms-selection-team-to-evaluate-affordable-and-workforce-housing-RFQ","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6350612-d4c8bf64eb34c5b92ad556c43accd5a9/orig.mp4?Expires=1775621568&Signature=AdvXzksREdh5TU5zveAOXaQ~dIy4PDfBVC4nXQwsIsdeD1h5tw-45Yq86XgMUUwZfWhpfhUrkhz5eSRj2p6grRu1VY7OPdxvbSeZYwLWc~sasqMm9fFYzF~8Oi9i2w2PoukZEQJHdv8iTwgxI3H~4ptznifU6UHDtihHXskGa~Xj0fmNnY2X4IhashOS8w5r2bpFA2kepVyA6r5kTxvQ1E5W9NSdrAb6Yw0ng1MaetLZnkCQmfIjGztbwwjsrUwuiNrTxDWf3F3L~lBK8RnRfO2z2CP7l4tk7NenhxcGCoLbB-l7gNp~57Lh8FlYvPx~tvbjhPw91cgEnFVyAfupZg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Snoqualmie Community Development Committee agreed Tuesday to form a small selection team to evaluate two responses to a request for qualifications for an affordable and workforce housing development.

The decision matters because the panel will score RFQ submissions and recommend a developer partner, rather than conducting those evaluations during a public committee meeting, a change committee members said will save meeting time and avoid procedural complications.

City Administrator Mr. Chambliss told the committee that \"normally you want to gather a diverse group of individuals\" and recommended keeping the selection team small for this process because there were only two submissions. Chambliss said an in-house team could complete the work quickly: \"I think we can knock it out in one session.\" The committee discussed including council representation plus relevant department directors and the city attorney. Council Member Wadden was designated as the primary council representative and Council Member Johnson as an alternate. Staff participants identified were City Administrator Chambliss, Community Development Director Arteta, and Public Works/Parks Director Hamlin; City Attorney Burke volunteered to serve as well. Councilperson Lawton said she would forward additional names for consideration.

Committee members said the team should include technical reviewers to assess site-related constraints such as water and utilities. Council Member Johnson noted concerns about potential conflicts of interest among some task force members with subject-matter expertise and asked that any outside participants be vetted by administration before appointment. Chambliss described the panel as a \"selection committee\" that would assign points, interview proposers if needed, and make a final recommendation to the committee or council.

Next steps: staff was directed to coordinate schedules for the selection team, vet any recommended outside participants, and return a recommendation to the Community Development Committee for referral to the full council if appropriate.","The Snoqualmie Community Development Committee agreed to form a small selection team to review two RFQ responses for an affordable/workforce housing development. The committee named council representation, city staff and the city attorney to the team and directed administrators to arrange the panel and return a recommendation to the committee.","actionData","errors"]
