Taxpayers name new representative for PRCAC

The Point Roberts Taxpayers Association has advised Whatcom County Executive Satpal Sidhu that Annelle Norman has been appointed the group’s designated representative on the Point Roberts Community Advisory Committee. 

The taxpayers association, along with the registered voters association and the chamber of commerce, have designated seats on PRCAC. The other two positions are at-large and represent the community as a whole. The taxpayers’ position became vacant with the death of Steve Wolff on January 8.

Taxpayers president Mark Robbins wrote Sidhu on January 20 to say they wanted to appoint Norman for the remainder of Wolff’s term which ends on January 31 as well as a new two-year term. Norman is very active in the community and serves as executive director of the Point Roberts Circle of Care organization, of which she is one of three founding members. In her application, Norman wrote, “I am committed to giving voice to Point Roberts property owners, both U.S. and Canadian.”
