WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No and the Notice of Public Hearing the
Board held a Public Hearing on August 19, 2019 after 10 00 am at Lewis County
Courthouse, Commissioners' Hearing Room, 351 NW North Street, Chehalis, WA at
which time and place and the Board heard and considered comments made by
members of the public and county staff regarding the inactive status of the district
NOW, THEREFORE, The Board of County Commissioners of Lewis County,
Washington, does ordain as follows.
Section 1 Findings The Board adopts the following findings in support of the
dissolution of Dikage and Drainage District #1
A. Dikage and Drainage District #1 qualifies as an inactive special purpose
district because it meets both of the criteria of RCW 36.96.010(3)
1 The District has not carried out any of the special purposes or
functions for which it was formed within the preceding consecutive
five-year period thus meeting the first criterion in RCW 36.96.010(3) for
being an inactive special purpose district
2 The District last held an election for the purpose of electing a
member of the governing body in Because no election was
held within the last seven years the District meets the second criterion of
being inactive
B The dissolution of Dikage and Drainage District #1 is in the public interest
because the District
1 Has not engaged in any actions to serve the public as stated in
subsection A,
2. An insufficient number of property owners have been willing to
stand for election to maintain an active governing body; and
3 The District does not own or operate any facilities or improvements
that necessitate the District continue existence
Section 2 Any remaining funds held by the Lewis County Treasurer Office on behalf of
the Dikage and Drainage District shall be disbursed to Lewis County as provided by
RCW 36 96 070
Section 3 Severability If a section or provision of this Ordinance is declared by the
courts to be invalid, the same shall not affect the validity of this Ordinance as a whole
or any part thereof other than the part so declared to be invalid
Section 4 Effectiveness Pursuant to RCW 36 96 040, Dikage and Drainage District #1
shall cease to exist thirty days after adoption of this Ordinance
