Continuation of the East Bellevue Community Council will be on the November ballot and the entity is seeking applications from residents interested in preparing for and against statements for the ballot measure.

The measure, to appear on the Nov. 5 ballot in King County, will ask if voters support or oppose “continuation of the East Bellevue Community Municipal Corporation” (commonly known as the East Bellevue Community Council).

By state law the EBCC has approval/disapproval authority over certain land-use actions in a part of East Bellevue. The council also may act in an advisory capacity on other land-use issues that directly or indirectly affect its jurisdiction.

To be eligible for consideration, applicants must reside within the corporate limits of the East Bellevue Community Council area. A map with the boundaries is available online.

The “Statement For” and the “Statement Against” (in addition to a rebuttal of the opposing statement) will appear in the King County Local Voters’ Pamphlet for the Nov. 5 election.

Application forms may be obtained through the City Clerk’s Office or the Service First Desk at Bellevue City Hall, as well as in the Bellevue Regional Library, the Lake Hills Library and Mini City Hall at Crossroads Shopping Center. A form also can be obtained by FAX by telephoning 425- 452-6466. The city will accept applications in any format.

Applications must be received on or before May 31 through one of the following means:
