RCW 70.05.070 requires the local board of health to enact local rules and regulations as are necessary in order to preserve, promote, and improve the public health and provide for the enforcement thereof.
Since June, staff have provided presentations on large sections of the Board of Health Code as the department works to establish a code for the newly formed Snohomish County Health Department.
Title 1 is the final section requiring review. It is the “code that governs all other code,” so to speak. Components include authority, board administration, enforcement, fees, and the official newspaper of record.
