"Sec. 4   RCW 87.06.030 and 2004 c 215 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:
     Before preparing a certificate of delinquency, the treasurer shall ((order a title search of the property for which a certificate of delinquency has been prepared to determine or verify the legal description of the property to be sold and parties in interest. In districts with two hundred thousand acres or more, the board of directors, upon receiving the certificates of delinquency may, after reviewing the amount of delinquent assessment compared to the costs of foreclosure, including but not limited to title search, court filing fees, costs of service, and attorneys' fees, determine that it is not in the best interest of the district to commence legal action to foreclose the delinquent assessment liens)) provide to the board of directors a list of properties that may be subject to foreclosure for delinquent assessments. The board of directors shall review the list of delinquent properties. After comparing the amount of the delinquent assessment with the costs of foreclosure, including but not limited to title search, court filing fees, costs of service, and attorneys' fees, the board of directors may determine that it is not in the best interest of the district to commence legal action to foreclose the delinquent assessment liens.
     Nothing in this section precludes a county treasurer from proceeding with foreclosure on parcels otherwise delinquent and, in those actions, from collecting delinquent assessments due under this title."
