On page 32, after line 13 of the amendment, insert the following:
"Sec. 29. RCW 35.02.078 and 1986 c 234 s 10 are each amended to read as follows:
An election shall be held in the area proposed to be incorporated to determine whether the proposed city or town shall be incorporated if the boundary review board approves or modifies and approves the proposal, or if the county legislative authority does not disapprove the proposal as provided in RCW 35.02.070. Voters at this election shall determine if the area is to be incorporated.
The
initial election on the question of incorporation shall be held at the next
special election date specified in RCW 29.13.020 that occurs sixty or more days
after the final public hearing by the county legislative authority or
authorities, or the approval or modification and approval by the boundary
review board or boards. The county legislative authority or authorities shall
call for this election and, if the incorporation is approved, shall call for
other elections to elect the elected officials as provided in this section. If
the vote in favor of the incorporation receives ((forty)) thirty
percent or less of the total vote on the question of incorporation, no new
election on the question of incorporation for the area or any portion of the
area proposed to be incorporated may be held for a period of three years from
the date of the election in which the incorporation failed. This three-year
prohibition shall not apply to any proposed city or town in which such election
was held after September 1, 1990, but before the effective date of this section
and the vote in favor of the incorporation received thirty percent or more of
the total on the question of incorporation.
If the incorporation is authorized as provided by RCW 35.02.120, separate elections shall be held to nominate and elect persons to fill the various elective offices prescribed by law for the population and type of city or town, and to which it will belong. The primary election to nominate candidates for these elective positions shall be held at the next special election date, as specified in RCW 29.13.020, that occurs sixty or more days after the election on the question of incorporation or, if the incorporation election was held in April or May, at a special election by mail ballots to be held on the third Tuesday in July. The election to fill these elective positions shall be held at the next special election date, as specified in RCW 29.13.020, that occurs thirty or more days after certification of the results of the primary election or, if the primary election was held in April or May, at a special election by mail ballots to be held on the third Tuesday in July."
