Q&A with county council candidates

With less than six weeks until San Juan County elects a new three-member county council, all six remaining can-didates are hitting the cam-paign trail.

The revamped council, and the April 23 elections, are the result of revisions to the county charter proposed in 2012 by the Charter Revision Commission and approved by the voters in November, 2012. The revisions returned the council to three members elected countywide from “res-

idency districts” comprising San Juan, Orcas and Lopez and their respective nearby smaller islands.

Nominated in a February, 2012, primary were Lovel Pratt and Bob Jarman from San Juan for District 1, Lisa Byers and Rich Hughes from Orcas Island for District 2, and Jamie Stephens and Brian McClerren from Lopez Island for District 3. Hughes, Stephens and Jarman are current incumbents on the present six-member council; Pratt is a former council-woman who was defeated by Jarman in a 2012 council race; Byers is the director of OPAL Community Land Trust on Orcas; and McClerren is a Lopez resident making his first run for elective office.

Leading up to the election, the Weekly will be running a series of Q&A with candi-dates from each district.

Brian McClerrenWEEKLY: What do you

bring to the table that is dif-ferent from the other candi-dates and why did you decide to run?

BM: I’m in a different world than the other candi-dates and that gives me a unique perspective on gov-ernment. I’m trying to become a homeowner. I’m starting my business while hanging onto a full-time job. I’m raising kids and about to have a new baby.

My political ideas aren’t being fed to me by an orga-nized party machine. They come from my own experi-ences and result from an enormous amount of time studying, listening and mak-ing observations. It has taken a hefty dose of courage and determination to put myself into this race. It is a reflec-tion of my deep love for the

San Juan Islands that I am deliberately seeking the most demanding, stressful and crit-icized job available. I am con-vinced, as are my supporters, that I can be that change that I seek.

WEEKLY: How do you plan to balance the county budget? Do you support renewal of Prop. 1, the voter-approved property tax increase that expires at the end of 2015?

BM: I am bothered that the assumption appears to be larger government and increased taxes. A special part of our identity in this place is that we value our independence. I can tell you unequivocally that nothing sacrifices independence like being in debt . This relates to bond debt as well as grant-funded activities.

Last year our council signed a debt obligation which demands repayment through taxation “without a vote of the people.” Worse than that, they are touting it as a demonstration of fiscal

Islanders’ Choice…Fellow Islanders, on April 23 we all need to make a choice. Your vote will determine the social, economic and political threads, which will weave the fabric of our future Island life. The six candidates have indicated how they will govern by either clearly stating their beliefs in writing or by past actions. The candidates’ respective beliefs suggest two very different outcomes:

• Trusts its fellow Islanders

• Listens to the local constituency

• Treats Islanders as humans

• Respects individual privacy

• Is transparent to its citizens

• Supports local business

• Supports the Islands before all other interests

• Is fiscally responsible

• Uses peer reviewed science to create effective environmental laws

• Is non-partisan

• Believes Islanders can and do protect the environment

• Considers Islanders to be part of a balanced ecosystem

• Encourages Islanders to trust and support each other

• Controls Islanders

• Listens to off island central planners

• Treats Islanders as statistics

• Wants more surveillance to protect the “common good”

• Hides behind a myriad of committees

• Stifles business with bureaucracy

• Favors off island agendas first and foremost

• Generates continual budget overruns

• Uses a fear based precautionary approach that is not supported by science

• Has a partisan agenda

• Does not trust Islanders to protect the island environment that we love

• Believes that humans are “un-natural” and “toxic” to nature

• Encourages Islanders to report their neighbors

Support for Stephens

Please join me in voting for Jamie Stephens for County Council District 3.

As a member of the coun-cil for the past several years, Jamie’s skill in representing San Juan County is admira-ble. He is thoughtful, hard-working, forward-looking, and respectful to all. He is a good listener and a problem solver.

Over the for the past 17 years, Jamie has been an active board member on several essential community organi-zations, including the Lopez Family Resources Center, Port Commission and Lopez Community Land Trust. He is currently on the Legislative Steering Committee of the Washington Association of Counties. Jamie cares about people, as demonstrated by his participation in civic affairs of all types, from sup-porting families and agricul-ture, to raising money for the 4th of July fireworks. Let’s keep him!

nancy DeVauxsan Juan Island

Jamie Stephens deserves your vote for the San Juan County Council. He has prov-en by his public service to date that his judgment and perspective extends to all the islands. But it is his breadth of interest in so many differ-ent facets of our island com-munities that makes him a

stellar candidate. Jamie has been active in

water resource issues, land use planning, affordable hous-ing, social services through the Lopez Family Resource Center, local business devel-opment, land conservation and even the Lopez 4th of July parade. His work on the council has taken him deep into balancing public budgets, competing interests and chal-lenging new initiatives such as solid waste solutions that work differently on separate islands, solutions that stress community involvement. That’s why he’s a good fit for the council of a county gov-ernment with so many differ-ent missions serving many island communities.

Jamie knows what makes a community work and how people must work together to keep a community mov-ing ahead. He is the right choice to lead county govern-ment for the benefit of all the island communities of San Juan County.

I urge you to vote for Jamie Stephens for the San Juan County Council.

Support for ByersMike Carlson deserves

our thanks for questioning Ms. Byers’ veracity concern-ing her philosophy of govern-ment. By doing so, he afford-ed Ms. Byers a wonderful opportunity to better inform the voters about her organi-

zational experience and true philosophy of governance. Her response to his, appar-ently, misplaced accusations has convinced me that she is the best candidate from Orcas for the new County Council. Lisa Byers has my vote. Thank you so much, Mr. Carlson.

New members for county council

The coming election for the new three members of the county council is one of the most important elections in the last few years. After attending two or three council meetings where the previous council voted for the Critical Area Ordinance we cannot support any members who are running now and voted for that ordinance. At those meetings, they did not seem to listen to their constituents and often treated the audi-ence with disrespect...

We want to support people who have common sense and try to support all citizens of the islands. One group that has been left out is the middle class. These are people who

are trying to work, have a home and raise their families. They can’t volunteer for com-mittees and go to weekday meetings. They are working and are tired at the end of the day. Now many are paying increasingly higher taxes and have endless rules placed on them.

We are supporting Rick Hughes, Bob Jarman, and Brian McClerren and can only hope they try to be fair if elected.

Submitted by Lopez School District

Lopez Island School District has been awarded a $728,000 grant from the state of Washington to assist in funding the district’s pro-posed energy and water conservation upgrades to its Lopez campus. These upgrades are part of the full campus renovation capital bond that voters will decide on in the April election.

The energy grant program was a very competitive pro-cess. Only 28 of 54 school districts applying were suc-cessful. The state awarded grants based on the strength of the application, the type of work proposed, and the energy and water savings projected. The district made this grant development part of the contract with the archi-tects for its facilities master planning process.

“We got double benefit out of our planning work,” said John Helding, school board chairman. “We developed reliable options and costs for our renovation program and at the same time got done the considerable work needed to submit a winning grant pro-posal. We are very encour-aged by this state support.”

Included are efficiency upgrades to legacy heat-ing systems, new insulation and siding for all the build-ings, high efficiency LED lighting, low flow water fixtures, storage and irriga-tion systems needed to use roof rainwater for playfield and food garden irrigation, and a 20 KW photovoltaic system on its south-facing roofs. Over a 30-year time frame, the improvements will save the District an esti-mated $750,000 in energy costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 6.9 mil-lion pounds, and reduce the use of Lopez aquifer ground water by more than nine mil-lion gallons.

“With this grant and the hoped for approval of our capital bond, we can imple-ment these conservation measures, reduce our oper-

ating costs, and send those savings into the classroom to the benefit of our educa-tional programs,” said Lopez Superintendent Bill Evans. “This project is all about our students and their futures,” Evans said.

Utilizing the state grant is dependent on matching money from the district. The district is planning to make its contribution from the capital bond proceeds if the bond is approved by voters in April. The district has also applied for and is scheduled to receive approxi-mately $400,000 in state grant money for renovation work involving its high school program. With these two grants, the school is in line to receive over $1 million in state support for its proposed whole campus renovation and upgrade program.

Evans said “We’ve had suc-cess in finding state support even with the tough budget climate in Olympia, and we’ll continue to overturn every stone to find additional grant money to help offset the cost of our proposed 30 year reno-vation project.”

State Senator Kevin Ranker has expressed support for the Lopez School renovation project and congratulated the school on its receipt of the energy grant.

“I commend the Lopez School for winning this cov-eted award and securing grant funds necessary to make upgrades that will con-serve energy and water on their campus. I am impressed by the operational savings and the environmental ben-efits that result from this forward-looking renovation of their great school,” said Ranker.

Ballots for the bond elec-tion will be delivered the first week of April and need to be returned by April 23. For additional info on this conser-vation program or the asso-ciated capital bond, contact Superintendent Bill Evans at 468-2202, ext. 2350 or by Email at [email protected].

Lopez Island School awarded energy grant

responsibility.The recent Community

Conversation meetings are creating a helpful guidance for specific areas where we may be overspending on ser-vices. There are many great ideas about restructuring departments and eliminat-ing costly delays. A budget that has increased about $20 million dollars in the last 8 years contains hundreds of places to reduce expenses, we just need leaders with the courage and energy to start digging.

If we move forward in a business-friendly pos-ture I expect no need for a renewal of Prop. 1 and I will work toward that end on the council.

WEEKLY: What is the single most critical issue fac-ing county residents?

BM: Growing and diversi-fying our local economy. Life in the San Juan’s has long been aided by easy, afford-able access to goods and services on the mainland. This summer, my family ferry ride will cost $73 ($90 for Friday Harbor). Fuel could be around $5/gallon. Even the Postal Service will be reducing access to goods by mail. It is time that we get serious about growing our own economy.

We have a shortage of dependable labor, afford-able housing, and services tailored to residents. There is tremendous room for growth, and with it we will usher in a new generation of talented, independent, and resourceful citizens who value these islands for their culture and natural beauty. WEEKLY: You are the youngest candidate in the group, what are the strengths and weaknesses of your age?

BM: It makes me more of an optimist. I’m full of ener-gy and enthusiasm in tack-ling the issues of the day but with a young family, I’m frequently thinking about life 20 or 30 years from now. I think that’s an inherent strength. I am excited to meet the people who shape our world and they seem pleasantly surprised at a new face in politics.

Some of the formalities of being a councilman are going to be strange. I don’t even own a tie or a blazer. I can already see the need for a second phone line at home and a full office setup on Lopez. I think the public is going to be pretty under-standing about those kinds of growing pains though.

WEEKLY: What is one problem you see in the coun-ty that you could fix as a councilman and how?

BM: I don’t see enough questions being asked. When spending requests and budgets come before the council we should be having some intense conversations. Each one of these financial presentations begins with a statement like, “This is all very routine,” which usually means please don’t question my department. The public is craving a council who will be critical about spending.

One councilman recog-nized that signing up for the county’s insurance ben-efits was an unnecessary waste of tax dollars and he declined. Another council-man returned money from travel expenses which he did not use. This is the kind of behavior which I admire. I hear all the time from resi-dents, “Find out why we are spending so much”. We need to be more fiscally conserva-tive now than we have been for a long time. I promise to ask those hard questions. Jamie Stephens WEEKLY: What do you bring to the table that is different from the other can-didates and why did you decide to run?

JS: The combination of talents and experience in issues that face all county residents is what is differ-ent about my candidacy. I am a small business owner; have participated in devel-oping affordable housing; have seen the need and been involved with deliv-ering family and children support services; taught in the school; helped develop jobs by teaching a small business course to entre-

preneurs; developed a water plan for the Lopez UGA; have experience with the county budgeting; worked to expand local agriculture.

I have been on the coun-cil for two years and believe that I can help lead through the transition and contrib-ute to moving our commu-nity forward. I will continue to ask questions, do the research and seek alter-natives that fit our unique island community.

WEEKLY: How do you plan to balance the county budget? Do you support renewal of Prop. 1, the vot-er-approved property tax increase that expires at the end of 2015?

JS: My goal is a five-year horizon of budget stabil-ity. The budget has been balanced for the last few years through reductions of employees, freezing wages, changing health insurance, deferring maintenance, and delaying capital improve-ments. The changes took the cooperation of county Departments and employ-ees. These were only year- to-year fixes and are not sustainable.

The passage of the pub-lic safety sales tax will help keep the budget balanced for two to three years if we are disciplined with our expenditures. As the econo-my improves we should not spend money the same way.

The council is engaging the public to determine what the scope and scale of county government should look like. The results of this will guide what combination of revenue versus expenses is the right course going forward.

The revenue from the levy lid lift is part of our current budget and it helps fund specific programs. The uses,

amount, and form of any renewal will need to be deter-mined by the results of the community conversations.

WEEKLY: What is the single most critical issue fac-ing county residents?

JS: Achieving budget stability is the single most important issue facing coun-ty residents and property owners. The council will get direction from the commu-nity about the priorities of government but hard deci-sions will need to be made about restructuring govern-ment and how to pay for the services the citizens want. These will include infra-structure such as bridges and roads; water availability and delivery; sewer; storm water treatment; and com-munications.

WEEKLY: Will your expe-rience on the council help you serve again as a coun-cilman, why or why not?

JS: I have worked for companies and have been on the boards of nonprof-its that have gone through major changes. Each time it has been helpful to have a person or persons that have experience with the orga-nization to lead through it. I believe that I am one of those leaders. I will reach out to other council mem-bers, department heads and into the community for expertise to help us thread through this challenging time. I have been on the council long enough to know the organization but not so long to rely on that how we used to do it.

WEEKLY: What is a mis-take you have made as a councilman that you have learned from?

JS: I have learned valu-able lessons about email. I try to be much clearer in my communication.

Pratt for councilI’m writing to support

Lovel Pratt’s candidacy for County Council, District 1.

In my role as a member of Lopez No COALition, I have had the pleasure of work-ing with her and seen her in action in her role as a county council member on the issue of the proposed coal export terminal at Cherry Point. I have been very impressed by her commitment in defense of San Juan ecology and economy.

I found her to listen well, work hard and strategi-cally, build alliances and take effective action in lead-

ing the County Council to have a clear, strong voice in the Environmental Impact Statement process thus far.

I have confidence that her vision, skills and knowledge will serve us well on the issue of coal export as well as others of significance to our islands. I also support what she stands for: thriving local economy, ecology and community. Please vote for Lovel Pratt.

CoaLition

Support for bondWe are supporting the

Lopez School Bond initiative. We understand the bond ini-tiative is for the physical plant

only, a plant that is in dire need of updating, that will provide the environment we all so desire for our educa-tors, staff and students.

Our personal situation is slightly different than most. Because our school aged grandson lives with us, we have become well acquaint-ed with Lopez School. We have attended activities both inside and outside the school: sporting events, fundraisers, school conferences, as well as numerous school meet-ings. With this building ren-ovation, $750,000 would be saved in energy costs alone. Wouldn’t we rather use those monies for our students than for electricity?

Currently our board voted to move ahead with Option 3, a total building remodel. This choice is the “best bang for the buck” as all issues needing to be addressed will be addressed. By placing a sprinkler system in the class-rooms and gym, proper out-

side lighting, updated kitchen facilities, as well as other safe and pertinent remodeling, it only makes sense to approve this bond now as interest rates are low (2.3 percent) and before construction rates go up. Well worth noting as of 3/11/13, Lopez School has been awarded over a million dollars in grant money to be applied to the proposed remodel. By voting “yes” for the bond issue, we can be assured these monies will be utilized as the grants stipu-lated, for the current bond initiative, or we will lose those grants.

Everyone knows that when a school deteriorates physically and becomes unat-tractive and unsafe, the entire community suffers. As goes the school, so goes the com-munity. We all want what is best for our children. We urge you to vote “Yes” for the Lopez School Bond Issue. If you have questions concern-ing the bond, plan to attend any of the informational meetings being offered by our very competent school board and staff. Knowing the facts will help you make an intelligent decision. Vote “yes” for our children and our community on April 23.

Lopez Island

I am a strong supporter of public education and I sup-port the Lopez Island School Bond proposal.

As your Lopez Island Fire Chief, I and all Lopezians are beneficiaries of the strong community ethic promoted by our Lopez School District. Over 50 percent of the Lopez Fire and EMS volunteers are graduates or current students of our Lopez Island School. In other words, when you dial 911 because you’re having one of the worst days of your life, your volunteers were taught service above self by your school district and are coming to your aid.

I attended several meet-ings to consider the alterna-tives being studied by the Lopez School District. In my opinion, Options 1 and 2 were expensive band aids, Option 4, build a new school, put into perspective the cost of a new school versus remodel-ing and was not a reasonable alternative. I support Option 3; the Comprehensive Whole Campus Renovation. Some of the projects proposed; remodel elementary and sec-ondary classrooms, complete

I believe the most cost effective way to accomplish these needs is not piece-meal but comprehensively and I believe that time is now.

The 16.5 million dollar
