4. SUMMARY STATEMENT (cont.):
The Mayor's interim appointee is Robin Baker who is currently providing similar services to the City of Bainbridge
Island. Ms. Baker's contract includes a provision for termination of services that will be executed when the Council
confirms the appointment of a permanent Examiner.
5. IMPACT ON NON-PASSAGE: The City would not be able to perform land use procedures as enacted by
Ordinance No. 4778. Applications for development approvals that require quasi-judicial proceedings could
not be acted upon. The City would face potential violations of individuals due process and property rights.
6. IMPACT ON STAFFING, BUDGETS, FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT OR OTHER RESOURCES
None. This contract was anticipated with the adoption of the 2002 portion of the biennial budget.
