By submitting its project analysis to form a Tax Increment Area (TIA) to the Washington State Treasurer’s Office, the Chelan-Douglas Regional Port Authority has not acted in good faith, making it clear that community partnerships and collaborations are not its priority. In fact, the regional port has a history of such selfish behavior, targeting already prospering areas to divert tax dollars from the community, first in Douglas County and now in Chelan County.
The Board of County Commissioners has passed a six-month moratorium on the creation of any tax increment financing (TIF) areas or projects in the unincorporated areas of Chelan County. The action is a result of concerns by the BOCC that the Chelan-Douglas Regional Port Authority is moving too quickly on the creation of a 3,326-acre TIF in Malaga without considering the full impacts on county taxpayers, state-mandated services and programs, land use zoning, transportation infrastructure and comprehensive planning.
Board of County Commissioners is responsible for the overall administration of Chelan County government. The Board is comprised of three officials elected from designated County districts. The Board’s duties include adopting and enacting ordinances and resolutions, levying taxes, establishing County policies, and conducting general administration of the County. As the County’s legislative authority, the Board is responsible for adoption of the annual budget, provision and maintenance of public facilities, construction and maintenance of County roads, development and implementation of planning and zoning policies, appointments to advisory committees and boards, and holds the authority to develop and implementvarious laws and ordinances.
