The Planning Unit
The Planning Unit
operates under a procedural agreement, signed
in December 1999, that sets out how the group will function and make decisions.
The group meets on the fourth
Wednesday of the month at the Civic Center, 322 N. Commercial Street,
2nd Floor, Bellingham. Planning Unit meetings will be open to the public
for observation, but will not be conducted as open public forums. There
will be regularly scheduled opportunities in other contexts for general
public comment and input.
In addition to assisting
with the work of the WRIA 1 Watershed Management Project, representatives
on the Planning Unit will be responsible for expressing the interests
of their constituents.
Membership
The Planning Unit is comprised of sixteen members. There are representatives
from three Initiating Governments
(Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe chose not to join the Planning Unit),
twelve caucuses, and the Port of
Bellingham. To ensure that the Planning Unit is a manageable size, only
one representative from each group may actively participate in Planning
Unit meetings.
