Snohomish County Code 2.300.130 requires that the Board of Health adopt administrative rules and procedures. Draft administrative rules (Attachment A) are based on discussions at the Local Board of Health training in Bellingham, King County’s Board of Health administrative rules, Snohomish Health District Charter, and Snohomish County Council meeting rules.
An initial draft has been reviewed by the board chair and vice chair. The current version has not been reviewed by legal. Legal review will be conducted following board member feedback and in advance of the regular September Board of Health meeting. Rules include:
- Membership requirements (attendance, removal, compensation)
- Chair and vice-chairs establishment and duties
- Legislative and non-legislative tools
- Voting
- Ethics
Following the Board's discussion and legal review, these draft rules will be combined into the larger Board of Health Code for adoption later this year.
