Submitting Public Comments: Citizens can submit public comments remotely by email regarding items listed in the
agenda below. Board members and staff will read and consider your comments before the meeting. Email your
comments by 12:00pm the day before the meeting using this email address: pubworks@co.jefferson.wa.us
Logistics: Transportation is not provided. Carpools can be arranged informally between members in advance of the
meeting. Please bring water bottle, lunch, appropriate clothing for walking in weather, and footwear. There will be time
to sit down at a picnic table for a sack lunch at Lake Leland Campground – but that is towards the end of the tour so you
might want to bring a lunch or snacks you can eat on the go as well. Tour de-brief can occur at Lake Leland Campground,
as well as time to complete surveys. The best possible system for the surveys is to complete them during the tour and
turn them in at the end of the tour. Taking them home for later has not worked out well in the past.
OPMA: The OPMA requires the board to have a quorum or cancel the meeting. It also requires the public to be able to
attend the meeting. Therefore, the board will need to follow the tour schedule.

Potential discussion items. (Also schedule at top of agenda)
1. Quilcene Campground and Community Park: Community Forum for
staff and the advisory board to ask questions, discuss, and listen.
a. Quilcene Community Park and Campground board tour and
assessment. The board will look at the amenities and site of
the future skate park. Important topics are: capital needs,
maintenance and operations, park quality and condition,
safety concerns, suggestions and ideas.
2. Riverside Park: walk the area and discuss. Maintenance of Riverside
Park stopped during The Recession. Volunteers took care of the park
for a while. That proved unsustainable.

and hopefully talk with volunteers if they are able to attend. Discuss
the partnership with the County, the use of the field, and the
programs it supports.
4. Lake Leland Day Use Park and Campground: tour one of our most
unique and important facilities. Our most popular campground and
lakeside park.
