CERT personnel are to be trained to render assistance to animals that may be displaced or separated from their owners during a natural disaster or emergency.

As part of the training, the city needs to have available one gentle horse and two friendly mid-sized to large dogs. The city is seeking to find a volunteer to attend who is willing to bring in such a horse the afternoon of March 17 for approximately one hour only. The dogs will need to be present March 17 in the afternoon, and all day March 18.

If willing to provide a horse and/or dogs for this emergency training event, contact Public Works Director Ron Garrow at rgarrow@northbendwa.gov or 888-7650 to make arrangements.

Comments will be heard at the March 6 City Council meeting at 7 p.m. at the Mount Si Senior Center, 411 Main Ave. S. 

Each person will be given no more than three minutes to speak and is encouraged to submit comments.

The following idling limitations have been proposed:

  •  Must not exceed five minutes.
  •  Buses, city work trucks, motor homes, farm equipment and public safety vehicles would be exempted.
  •  The penalty would be a civil violation prompting monetary fines.
  •  The ordinance would become effective May 2014.
  •  Both drivers and any landowner allowing idling may be cited.
  •  The ordinance would impact trucks with a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 pounds or greater.

The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency reports that diesel emissions are some of the most dangerous pollutants discharged into the atmosphere, according to a Feb. 8 press release from the city.

City officials wish to reduce those emissions, encouraging the trucking industry to promote Alternative Power Units on individual trucks and seeking grants for construction of electrified parking areas that provide an alternative to drivers.
