PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The follo,-,-ing comments were made by citizens in
attendance at the meeting and reflect their personal opinions:
. Climate change is going to drastically effect Jefferson County; China burns more tons of coal per
year than the United States and that has an impact on the rising mercury level of our lakes;
cutting the Rain Forest in the Amazon effects the ocean currents; the sun spot cycle flat lined
several years ago and it appears that when this happens there is a mini-ice age. Every 10,000
years on average the earth undergoes an ice age.

the City and County by a private citizen. The station is wireless, runs automatically and will
notify of weather events that reach a certain event horizon,

COMMISSIONERS BRIEFING SESSION: The Commissioners each provided updates
on the following items:
Commissioner Sullivan reported on the Brinnon Community Center Advisory Board meeting last week
where he answered questions and discussed the issues around the Senior Meal Program. The funding for
this program has changed and decisions are to be made to the program to kecp it running. Brinnon has
been a place where there hasn't been enough attendance at these meals to sustain the program, An RFP
will be sent out for operation of the Brinnon Motel sometime in the future. He also attended a meeting at
Marrowstone Island last night and a meeting of the WSAC Caucus of ferry counties to develop a
response to the Governor's plan for the ferry system. He has several important meetings on same day
next week so he will be working with other people to make sure these meetings are all covered.
Countv Administrator Philip Morlev reported on the joint economic development planning meeting
tonight at Shold Business Park. The Quilcene meeting originally scheduled for last week has been
tentatively rescheduled for February 1 at the Quilcene Community Center.
Chairman Austin reported that he was in Olympia last week meeting with DNR Commissioner
Goldmark to discuss the Trust Land transfers to complete the natural area in Dabob Bay and keep the
same amount ofrevenue coming to Fire District #2. He also met with representatives of WSAC to
determine the best way to bring health issues before the legislature, especially the effect of smoke on
children in cars and the need for children to be immunized; he also reported that citizens who have
prescription drugs that they would like to dispose of can put them in a plastic bag and drop them off at
the Sheriffs OtDce or the Police Department.
The meeting was recessed and reconvened at 9:53 a.m. with all three Commissioners
present.
Letter of Support: Washington State Department of Natural Resources; Parcels
Suggested for Trust Land Transfer: Chairman Austin explained that a natural area reserve has becn
established around Dabob Bay and the DNR can purchase land from willing sellers to protect this area.
There is a concern that as DNR makes land transfers there may not be enough land within the boundaries
of Fire District No.2 to keep the Fire District's revenue the same as it is now. This letter identifies lands
within the Fire District NO.2 boundary that are available for exchange. Commissioner Sullivan said that
he appreciates all of the work done by Mr. Bahls to outline these property exchange options that will
help DNR address this issue regarding land transfers. Commissioner Johnson moved to approve the
letter and send it to DNR. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous
vote.
NO COUNTY ADMINISTRA TOR BRIEFING - The Commissioners are schedule to
meet in the afternoon as part of the Transit Authority Board.
