Snohomish Conservation District (SCD) is holding a public meeting on a proposed renewal of its special assessment. The meeting will be held at the Camano Island Library, 848 N Sunrise Blvd., Camano, WA 98282 on Wednesday, July 17 from 6:00-7:00 pm. The SCD and its Board of Supervisors are proposing a revised assessment based on RCW 89.08.405 system of rates and charges, recognizing that different land uses have differing conservation needs, receive differing benefits, and should be charged at differing rates. Current annual rate is a flat $5/parcel plus $.05/acre. Proposed rates will be a range of charges up to $5/parcel plus up to $.10/acre. The District will present the assessment proposal and work plan, and would like comments from Camano Island landowners regarding this proposal.
