Sullivan District No.3 Commissioner: John Austin County Administrator: Philip Morley Clerk of the Board: Lorna Delaney MINUTES Week of April 25, 2011 Chairman John Austin called the meeting to order at the appointed time in the presence of Commissioner David Sullivan and Commissioner Phil Johnson. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made by citizens in attendance at the meeting and reflect their personal opinions: . The annual permit fee for food vendors in the County has gone up to $98 per event which is a level that means many won't be able to make money. The Health Board set these fees last year and this needs to be addressed. . The person negotiating the PSE Franchise Agreement took the comments a eonstitutent submitted for the record and sent them to PSE and asked PSE to comment on them which was not a professional thing for a staff member to do. The County Treasurer has acted on several suggestions for improvements which included posting the Budget Committee meeting minutes on the website. . The Board needs to understand where small businesses are located in the County and provide help for non-conforming uses especially those covered by the Shoreline Management Plan. Jeff Co 101 would like to bid on filming the Commissioners meetings if that is considered in the future. . Today is the 6th anniversary of Parental Alienation Awareness Day. \\Thy didn't a Judge in this County follow the laws or the Court Rules with regard to a parental alienation case in this community? The agreement for Juvenile Detention facilities (Item 4) on the Consent Agenda has no attachment to reality because it assumes that Kitsap County will have extra bed capacity in their Juvenile Detention facility which is not likely to be the case. This agreement should not have been considered on the Consent Agenda and should be deleted because it needs more analysis. . The consent Agenda item for disposing of County property should be approved because the items have been offered to other agencies \vith no takers and many of the items are broken and not working and they can be disposed of as provided by policy adopted by the State Auditor last year. Fish farms need to be kept out of Jeflerson County waters. We are spending money to clean up Puget Sound and the farming of salmon is counter intuitive. \letpens damage the environment and contribute little to the local economy. A request was made that Commissioner Sullivan turn in an incident report regarding the removal of a person from the Commissioners meeting. Who authorized the opening of the second door into the Chambers today? The unemployment rate in Jefferson County is over 11 % and climbing and gas will be $5!gallon by the tourist season and $6!gallon by the end of the year; property crimes are increasing in the County and people in the County blame County government the for lack of jobs. We need to tighten up security in the Courthouse and around the County.

PROPOSED MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU): Re-Open Lake Leland Campground (Adopt a Park Program); Curtis Stacey and Tanya Royer: Matt Tyler, Parks and Recreation Director, explained that Curtis Stacey and Tanya Royer have volunteered for over a year maintaining the day use park at Lake Leland. They visit the park on a regular basis to monitor the activity, to keep the park clean, and remove the garbage. They havc done a considerable number of improvements to the park including rcmoving noxious weeds, washing signs, opening up the area so that people can safely access the bcach, and maintaining the vault toilet. It is unique for volunteers to operate a campground bccause a campground is an active use area where you are in a contract with everyone that pays to use the campground. Thc level of service has to be high and consistent. Mr. Stacie and Ms. Royer are experienccd at this type of operation. They considered this proposal for six months and have decided that they will commit to operating the campground for a year. They worked with other volunteer groups to mow and restore the sitc to its original condition which took several days of hard work. They plan to open it on May 27, 2011 and operate it through the fall season. There is a goal of promoting a family atmosphere at the campground and a modcst revenue goal has been set. The funds to pay for this Page 3 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 25, 2011 <e:,->.. 1Jii ~) l;~. \;) \z:~:~;!;/I project come from the campground fees.

CONTINUED DISCUSSION re: Finfish Aquaculture and Timeline for Preparation of the Draft Jefferson County Response to Department of Ecology on Changes to the Locally Approved Shoreline 1lfaster Program (SMP) (MLA08-475): Al Scalf, Director of the Department of Community Development encouraged the Board to move to closure on the discussion of netpens and schedule a public hearing on the LASMP. Michelle McConnell noted that there is a new bibliography that now includes 84 items which is not an all inclusive list of the literature on finfish aquaculture. There is also a draft letter to the State Department of Ecology asking for an extension of the April 30 deadline for the County's response. She noted that in discussion with the DOE Project Manager it appears that they would be amenable to the County sending a status update without a specific deadline. The County is still on point to meet the statutory deadline which is December ofthis year. Commissioner Johnson asked if DOE was asked about adopting what the County has proposed with an exemption for finfish aquaculture? Michelle McConnell reported that she briefed the DOE Project Manager on that idea and DOE feels that is akin to what they have provided in the required change which is to allow finfish aquaculture with a conditional use permit across the board in all shoreline designations. If the County puts forth an SMP that omits (does not address) finfish aquaculture and an application comes in it would be treated as an unlisted use which automatically defaults to a conditional use permit Al Scalf said that a public hearing could be held the week of May 16 and in order to do that staff would have to finalize the Code document for next Monday's agenda and prepare a public hearing notice, which means this would have to be done soon. It could be done with the March 21. 2011 changes made by the Board. It could take weeks, if not months, to assimilate the literature that's been gathered. DCD is inclined to leave that information where it is. The public hearing will generate additional information. The discussion turned to possible hearing dates, Commissioners schedules, what issues are part of finfish aquaculture, and what would he included in the public hearing notice. Philip Morley suggested that the bibliography be closed until the public hearing record opens. Michelle McConnell reiterated that any Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 25, 2011 /..';-0'1;,,_ ",~y.~" '-"! 1:'1 \t~,~0'i/ additional information that comes in will be held to be addcd to the record lateL There is a specific time when the formal public comment period is open. After morc discussion of the 1986 guidelines, the need for updated information, and what typc of guidance DOE has provided regarding the County's ability to limit finfish net pens, Michelle McConnell reported that staff will bring draft code language and a draft hearing notice for the Board to consider in a couple of weeks. Commissioner Sullivan moved to approve the letter to DOE advising that the County will not be submitting a response to the Department by April 30 and will continue to work to dcliver a response as soon as the local process is complete. Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The meeting was recessed at the conclusion of the business scheduled for the morning. All three Commissioners were present when the meeting reconvened at 12:00 p.m. for the Elected Oftlcials Quarterly meeting which then recessed at I :21 p.m. All three Commissioners were present for their afternoon session which began at 1:36 p.m. COUNTY ADMINISTRA TOR BRIEFING SESSION: County Administrator Philip Morley reviewed the following with the Board. os Calendar Coordination ~ Legislative Update K?
