The Friday Harbor Town Council meets tonight at 5:30 in Mullis Community Senior Center, 589 Nash St.

There will be a public hearing to consider annexation of 48 acres near the former gravel pit. A neighborhood of 240 permanently affordable and market-rate homes would be developed over 20 years.

A development agreement was drafted over a series of meetings between the Buck family, the San Juan Community Home Trust, and town staff members.

The agreement seems to address concerns the town had about the development’s potential impacts on utilities and existing ratepayers. And the county will develop a road connecting Turn Point and Pear Point roads, hopefully alleviating traffic on Warbass Way.

At 5 p.m. in the high school commons, the process of searching for a new school district superintendent begins.

Parents, students and other community members can provide input on the superintendent search. Timelines, schedules and desired qualifications in leadership will be discussed. A special school board meeting will follow at 6 p.m.

“A survey is available to anyone who cannot make the meetings,” said Maude Cumming, executive assistant to the superintendent. “People can contact me at the district office.”

Contact Cumming at 378-4133, or e-mail mcumming@sjisd.wednet.edu
