BELLINGHAM, Wash. Rud Browne says he won’t run for a third term on the Whatcom County Council.
The 1st District Councilmember made the announcement on social media Sunday.
He says that whomever takes his place will learn a lot about the community, government and themselves.
And he warns that, while the pay is part time, the hours are long.
He likens it to having to drink from a firehose from day one, and it helps to have a “tough hide.”
But he praises the current council, administration, judiciary and the entire county staff and says it’s been a privilege to serve on the council.
Whatcom seeks better, cheaper answer for the 138,574 calls to 911 each year
The Bellingham Herald 12/15/2020 Robert Mittendorf, The Bellingham Herald (Bellingham, Wash.)
Dec. 15 Combining Whatcom County s two 911 dispatch centers, whose operators separately send law-enforcement officers or firefighters to calls for service, is back on the County Council s agenda.
It s both logical and a cost-saving measure to combine the two 911 centers, said Councilman Tyler Byrd. I ve been working on all the documentation I can find on this and talking to people. I can t find a single efficiency that comes out of this the way it is today, Byrd said during a Nov. 12 budget session.
