Snohomish County Code 2.300.130 requires that the Board of Health adopt administrative rules and procedures. Revised draft administrative rules (Attachment A) are based on several discussions and review of King County’s Board of Health administrative rules, Snohomish Health District Charter, and Snohomish County Code.
An initial draft was reviewed by the Board of Health at the regular meeting in August 2023. Based on continued review and feedback from the Board, numerous changes have been made. Due to the scope of revisions, a redlined version is not provided. Substantial content changes are:
- Replacing references to SCC 2.300 throughout the ordinance, including the section on membership, with a statement of purpose clarifying rules in this chapter supplement SCC 2.300
- Removal of the section relating to guidelines and recommendations
- Removal of the section relating to ethics
Less substantial changes focused on tightening up language, tense agreement, and formatting.
This ordinance is scheduled for public hearing and approval at the next regular meeting on October 10, 2023.
