Pledge of allegiance. 9:07:47 AM Public Comment 9:08:38 AM Craig Durgan clerk, clerk : Commented on the economy and the closure of Memorial Field. The BOCC is holding our children hostage to get a Park District. That is inappropriate. The BOCC has had five years to follow their economic plan. Regulations passed by BOCC are stifling. He thinks the BOCC should resign. 9:10:37 AM Jim Boyer clerk, clerk : Commented on Memorial Field issue. He was told in the amount of our budget there is funding to keep Memorial Field operating. Last summer the County knew about this problem, but, it seems as though the County is acting like it is something the county just discovered. 9:13:31 AM Tom Thiersh clerk, clerk : Commented on shortfalls in the budget. How about $25,000 in savings on shutting down computers during closed hours. How about the $4,500 spent on fixing a fence. How about $2,500 spent by Sheriff to pay for using the gun club. Contract allows county to use it for free. How about the $21,000 the BOCC authorized to themselves for retirement. How about last years budget spent on salaries and benefits, plus a 3% increase. There is money to support parks. 9:16:30 AM Jim Fritz clerk, clerk : Commented on $60,000 which represents the salary for one employee. The CA was created to eliminate other high paid dept. heads. Layoffs only apply to lower employees. We need to examine the management structure and retain people who do the work. 9:19:07 AM Jim Tracy clerk, clerk : Commented re: Fabian response to Fabian lack of credibility. He reviewed comments made about FHM. Mr. Fabian's comments are false. 9:22:18 AM John Fabian clerk, clerk : Rebutted Jim Tracy's comments. 9:23:21 AM Joe D'Amico clerk, clerk : Commented on economy situation. SSNW has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on his issue. It was about noise, yet, the County has no noise ordinace. The gun ranges are grandfathered. He is treated differently than the gun range in Port Townsend. He has a damage suit and his going to hold the County to it. The county cannot regulate who can shoot at his range and what kind of guns can be used there. His business was ranked 22 for employment. This could save money and Memorial Field. 9:26:32 AM Larry Carter clerk, clerk : Commented on Mr. Tracy and Mr, Fabian issues and he invited them to get together at a meeting of the Citizens Alliance for Property Rights. 9:28:38 AM Mike Belenski clerk, clerk : Commented on what Tom Thiersch said about funding the BOCC retirements, the privacy screen for Visitor's center.

Some other EO's will also be present. Also, a number of comments were made this morning re: Parks situtation. Mid-April last year when the County scaled back the budget the County did identify that the general subsidy for parks and recreation would need to scaled back. Parks and Rec also gave an update last year on cutbacks and proposals to keep parks and rec programs and facilities including a Community coalition to keeps parks open. This is not something new. He hopes the citizens who commented will be present for this morning's discussion on Parks and Rec. plan and community partnership for Memorial Field.
