Special filing for Orcas Recreation District Commissioners, to be elected in the November election, began Aug. 26 and closed Friday, Aug. 28.
Marian O’Brien faces Vickie Vandermay in Position #1, Bob Eagan has declared for Position #2, Martha Farish for Position #3, Jim Bredouw for Position #4 and Ian Lister for Position #5 have filed for the Commission that will be created should voters approve the formation of an Orcas Island Parks and Recreation District.
The top vote-getter between O’Brien and Vandermay will be seated in Position #1 of the potential Parks and Recreation Junior Taxing District.
At the San Juan County Council’s Aug. 25 meeting, the Council accepted the petition proposing the formation of an Orcas Island Parks and Recreation District for the November ballot. If the District formation is approved by the voters, the elected Commissioners will then propose a taxing structure and policies for the Rec District.
