PRCAC pushes county to add Point Roberts drainage master plan to comprehensive plan
Summary
Committee members urged Whatcom County Public Works to present a Point Roberts drainage master plan for inclusion in the county comprehensive plan, noting capital-program timelines could span decades and that a maintenance district might be a practical near-term option.
PRCAC members discussed follow-up on the drainage master plan after Public Works' presentation. S9 said placing a full drainage program into the county capital-improvement pipeline could take "a few lifetimes," and Public Works suggested a maintenance district as a more immediate approach.
Chair (S2) proposed asking Public Works to present a Point Roberts drainage master plan to county council and to add it to the comprehensive plan so the community can pursue town halls and, if warranted, ballot measures later. The committee agreed the comp-plan listing would give the plan "teeth" and make prioritization clearer for future funding cycles.
