In May, you had the Presidential Primary, and now here we are again mailing in July for the August primary for all the rest of the candidates! And are there a lot of candidates! After the last statewide primary election where there were many candidates to choose from and the state does not publish a hard copy Local Voters’ Pamphlet, we decided and the Council supported funding to publish a comprehensive pamphlet so you’d have an opportunity to review all the information on these races. That’s why this year’s pamphlet is so much bigger. I hope you will find it informative. As we’ve said before, the primary really is an important election because it is where you select who gets to move on to the general election. I know it sounds cliché—but every vote does matter, and this is where it shows! We are encouraging the use of the official ballot drop boxes where you can leave your ballot, no postage necessary and where no one except Whatcom County election workers are handling your ballot. See the listing in this pamphlet or in your ballot materials where the closest box is for you. If you choose to use the postal service, mail early. It’s recommended to mail by Friday, July 29 in order to get a timely postmark. Please return your ballot at your earliest convenience. Happy voting and I hope you’re having a great summer! Sincerely, Debbie Adelstein Whatcom County Auditor Participating Jurisdictions • U.S. Senator • Washington State • 1st and 2nd Congressional Districts • Supreme Court • 40th and 42nd Legislative Districts • Whatcom County Returning Your Ballot Drop Box: No postage necessary.

Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) is provided in order to facilitate communication accessibility and may not be a verbatim record of the proceedings.] Lisa K. Hutchinson CART Provider SCOTT: So, good evening, everybody. I'm Scott Greenberg, the city's development services group director. And before I turn it over to Jon Friedman, chair of the Planning Commission, I would like to recognize city staff and councilmembers in the audience. So, I see Councilmember Grausz over there and Councilmember Wisenteiner is here somewhere. Any other councilmembers that slipped past me? I think we're expecting more. City staff, we have our interim city manager Steve Lancaster and assistant city manager Kirsten Taylor. For other city staff, Alison VanGorp, administrative services manager and ombudsman in my department. 2 Shana Restall, our principal planner. And is Travis here? Travis Saunders, our senior planner, is behind me. And then our strategic communications consultant, I guess that's what we're calling her, Karen Reed in the back, as some of you know. And that's it for introduction. I'll be back up in a few minutes to do a brief presentation for you, but I'll turn it over to Chair Friedman. JON: Thank you, Scott. Good evening and welcome. My name is Jon Friedman. I'm the chair of the Mercer Island Planning Commission. I would like to thank you all for coming tonight. We look forward to hearing your thoughts.

The incentive to convert the TransAlta plant to a natural gas-fired plant is a giant step backwards for our state and for confronting climate change. It was a hard-fought consensus agreement in 2011 between TransAlta, environmental and labor groups, the state Legislature, and former Governor Christine Gregoire that developed an agreement to close the plant and invest $55 million in the community to support education and retraining, efficiency, and economic development. King County strongly supports a just transition for the existing coal plant workers to new job opportunities, an important part of the existing agreement. Confronting climate change and accelerating a transition to a clean energy economy with family wage jobs is a top priority for King County. Through the Growth Management Planning Council, 39 cities and King County have established shared, formal targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent by 2030 and 80 percent by 2050.
