Snohomish County hearing - Reiter

Snohomish County is holding a hearing this Tuesday the 28th of June, at 5pm
in Everett to amend the County Codes.

The amendments will exempt construction and maintenance of recreational
trails from their onerous and extremely expensive current processes. We
NEED these amendments passed or it will take hundreds of thousands of
dollars to comply with the current codes and get our trails built at Reiter
Trails!

Bill Lider (local anti-OHV/anti-access zealot) will be there to tell the
county that they can't add the
exclusions to their planning codes.

We need to have OHV Positive people on our side there to counter him.

Below is the link to the meeting agenda and some of the info that we need
the county to get passed.

If not, Reiter will be delayed longer yet.

The proposed changed was passed by the County planning commission.
The vote was 7 to 4.
It now needs to be passed by the County Council to become law.

This happened because of the riders that testified.
At least two of the commissioners stated that they changed their vote in our favor base on our testimony last night.
Participation matters.

^sweet! Way to go.
