Approval of Minutes: Commissioner Johnson asked that the word compromise be corrected on page 7 of the March 21, 2011 Minutes.

HEARING re: 2011 First Quarter BudgetApproprlations/Extensionsfor Various County Funds: Philip Morley explained why budget appropriations are being requested by District Court, the Sheriff's Office, Non-Departmental, WSU Cooperative Extension, Water Pollution Control, Public Works Roads and Central Services. Chairman Austin opened the hearing for public testimony. Tom Thiersch. Jefferson County: He noted on the WSU County Extension request that it states "Frontier Bank gave Katherine Baril a check for the balance of funds of the former EDC." He hopes that they didn't just give her a check, that's County money. Will someone please explain what happened to that money, where it came back from? It is not clear. The appropriation for the Spruce Room wasn't clear. If the room was going to be used for the whole year, why wasn't it budgeted for that? The request for the Water Pollution Control Account has an intriguing explanation that says it was overlooked when the budget was turned in. It seems a little careless and sloppy that $10,000.00 was overlooked. Chairman Austin asked if staffwould like to respond to any of the comments/questions made by Mr. Thiersch. Karen Bednarski, Auditor's Office, stated that the County got a new loan for Water Pollution Control and the County has just recently had to start making payments. That is why it was overlooked. These payments are made from the people who took out the loans, not from the General Fund. Page 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of May 9,2011 ~~m~lr ~., ~.~ , , Pamela Roberts, WSU Extension, stated that the check from Frontier Bank was not given to Katherine Baril personally, it went into the County account.. It was deemed to be local money because the EDC contact with the State had been satisfied and that bank: account was due to be closed out. Those funds would have left the County because the account was inoperable, no one was using it. It was good that Katherine captured those funds and got them back into the County to serve Economic Development activities. With regard to the $3,000.00 rent, it is a separate space that leads to the Spruce Room and there was some discussion on potentially letting go of the space but after talking to the staff that uses the space and looking at the high use of the facility it was deemed necessary for the high level of meetings WSU is having. Mike Belenksi. Jefferson County: Inquired as to why some people do not have to give their name and address? He noticed that the Sheriff's Office equipment went down from the $51,000.00 from the $47,0000.00. He stated that the State Auditor found that 48 items were missing from their equipment log. Did they find some of that? Why is that number going down? Outboard motors just disappearing, depth finders...what about the evidence room? These are people that are supposed to be trained to keep track of stuff. Did they find some of that stuff and that is why their number has gone down significantly? Either someone is pulling a number out of thin air to make up for things that might disappear but didn't disappear because people are watching to close now and people can't throw items in their trunk and take it home. It seems like poor budgeting to me. Who's budgeting this stufl'l He wants the rules applied fairly. Philip Morley stated that he was not aware that there has been any theft of material from the Sheriff's Office. Chairman Austin stated that anyone is welcome to approach the Sheriff directly regarding missing equipment. Commissioner Sullivan moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 19-11 approving the budget appropriations/extensions as presented from the Various County Departments. Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. An EXECUTIVE SESSION was scheduled from 10:15 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. with County Aclmini>ttrator and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney re: Attorney-Client Privilege; Exemption as Outlined in the Open Public Meetings Act RCW 42.30.110 (1 )(i)(B) Potential Litigation.

Why is there a $10,000+ contract to maintain the Jefferson County Health Department website on today's Consent Agenda? There is nothing being provided in this contract to guarantee backup of public records, availability of the site, or training for staff as stated in the agenda bill. This contract is overpriced and not well written. . A Quilcene resident updated the Board on community activities in Quilcene and then asked who will be in charge of any additional volunteers when the MOU for the Quilcene Park re-opening is approved? . There is a science war going on about net pens and DOE would like the County to make the decision on net pens through a local Conditional Use Permit process. The Board should not make such approvals by a conditional use permit. The State DOE should approve net pens not the County; the meeting on a new voluntary process for agriculture is a breath of fresh air and a good approach to use. . The DOE sent a letter to the County dated May 9 regarding the County's prohibition of net pens and other water dependent uses in the LASMP. Water dependent uses are preferred uses under the SMA and the County will be sued if this prohibition is retained. DOE is the approving agency for the SMP. . The Port Townsend Paper Biomass project will bum slash and it has been said this will reduce slash burning in the woods. Information was provided about how much slash is actually available on the Peninsula at this time. The Biomass Project will bum almost anything. . Scientists are saying that the next 10 years will be colder than normal and sun spots have slowed down which will also contribute to increased cold temperature. Many States have laid off school teachers and are cutting other services such as building officials. -c APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF CONSENT AGENDA: Commissioner Johnson moved to delete Item I and approve the balance of the Consent Agenda as presented.

He explained that this agreement is similar to the one done for the Lake Leland campground. The Quilcene campground and day use park has a group of volunteers led by Mr. White who provide maintenance services. Mr. White has organized working groups and in this agreement he is agreeing to continue to do the work he has been doing in the campground for a year. Philip Morley noted that the co=unity is fortunate to have the help of Mr. White and many other volunteers that do this work. This agreement provides the structure to funnel the good energy of the co=unity volunteers to work with the County. Mr.. White stated that it is a benefit to Quilcene to have this campground open. This year is the 100th anniversary of the Quilcene Fish Hatchery and the campground is already fully reserved for that weekend. Commissioner Sullivan noted that the work that the volunteers have been doing for many years is Rma7.ine to see. He appreciates the lead role Mr. White is willing to take. Philip Morley asked who will be responsible for background checks and training of the volunteers? Matt Tyler explained that a background check has been done on Mr. White and he in turn is responsible for all volunteers working in the campground/park. It is the same for safety training because he is the only one allowed to use power tools due to liability issues involved. Page 2 . . j]'i ~., ~~-- ..

District No. 1 Commissioner: Phil Johnson District No.2 Commissioner: David W. Sullivan District No.3 Commissioner: Johu Austin County Administrator: Philip Morley Clerk of the Board: Lorna Delaney @mDJ~rr MINUTES Week of May 23, 2011 PUBUC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made by citizens in attendance at the meeting and reflect their personal opinions: . Sunfield School has brought many economic benefits to the County the past 4 years. They are a struggling non-profit corporation and the Board was urged to support their request for a fee waiver. . A listing of binding site plan fees for several counties in Washington was provided to the Board. Jefferson County's fee is higher than many other counties. Support was expressed for the County waiving, iti whole or in part, the binding site plan fee for Sunfield Farm. . Sunfield Farm operates programs for children and the cost of the binding site plan fee will cut into the ability to provide these programs. . DCD gave Sunfield Farm 5 years to finish the Conditional Use Permit and they have done that. $11,000 in fees has been imposed on Sunfield Farm and it is an agricultural accessory use and there is an exemption that allows fees to be waived for agricultural projects and the County should grant Sunfield's request . Quilcene volunteers are concentrating their efforts on many community projects but the business group is not making any headway because of2 main barriers which are water (fire flow) and wastewater (sewer or septic). . Maritime security teams from Security Services NW provided water borne security for a large asset that went through the Straits of Juan de Fuca last week and they are working on a "Shoot House" for training security and lliw enforcement agencies. . Quilcene was a major economic driver in Jefferson County a number of years ago and was a tremendous asset; if a major forest fire breaks out it will burn itself out because there isn't enough local equipment and other resources to fight a forest fire as a result of the decline of the timber industry. . There are stil1 concerns about the item that the Board pulled from the Consent Agenda last week which is back on the consent agenda today. It is a bad deal. How did the fee waiver for DCD fees even get on the agenda? Sunfield Farm is a private school and every child that doesn't go to the public schools takes $5,500 in funding away from the public schools that are struggling for money and the DCD recommendation to deny this waiver should be followed. . Why does the Board have the fee waiver on the Board's agenda when the County Admiuistrator has been delegated to do this type of work? The Board should not be reviewing legislative actions. The Board should stop interjecting themselves to the Administrative decisions that have been delegated to the County Adminilltrator.

HEARING: Mats Mats Beach Homeowner's Association Water and Effluent Line Franchise: Monte Reinders, County Engineer introduced Terry Duff, Public Works Engineering Tech, and noted that Mike Monahan representing the Mats Mats Beach Homeowner's Association was also present. Terry Duff reported that this hearing is for a non-exclusive franchise with the Mats Mats Beach Homeowner's Association to instaII eflluent lines within County rights-of-way specifically Mats Mats Beach Road and crossing Bay Shore Drive along South Bayview Drive in the Port Ludlowarea. A Page 2 . <1: .... ~ Commissioners Meetin Minutes: Week ofMa 23,2011 a=\ ~ previous franchise granted to them in 2004 for waterlines in the same area will be rescinded and is incorporated into this new franchise agreement because it is on the same roads. This hearing was advertised in the Leader on May 4 and 11,2011 and also posted in three locations as required by RCW. This franchise is a binding contract between Jefferson County and the Homeowner's Association who will have to comply with all requirements of the Jefferson County Code and obtain necessary permits and a construction bond. The bond will be put in place as part of the utility agreement and will remain in place for 12 months after installation. Co=ercialliability insurance is also required for any claims against the County for injury or damages to the rights of way. The Board can approve the franchise agreement at the conclusion of this hearing or the co=ent period can be extended to the end of the week. Once the franchise is approved the applicant has 30 days to accept the agreement. This is a 20 year franchise term. Monte Reinders, County Engineer, reported that this is for an effluent line to an upland parcel for the sewer system is near the shoreline. The Homeowner's Association has been working with the Health Department on this project. The Chair opened the public hearing. Hearing no co=ents for or against the franchise the Chair closed the public hearing. No site notice is required for a franchise and this is a non-exclusive franchise. Commissioner Sullivan moved to approve RESOLUTION No. 20-11 granting a non-exclusive franchise on County rights of way to operate a water system and effluent line for the Mats Mats Beach Homeowner's Association. Chairman Austin seconded the motion which carried. Fee Waiver Request/or Binding Site Plan Application; Sunfield Farms: Philip Morley, County Administrator, reported that DCD staffhas requested that this item be held over until the June 6, 2011 meeting so that legal advise can be obtained on the question of whether the Commissioners can hear this fee waiver. In Jefferson County steps are taken to keep the permitting process out of the legislative (Cornrnl~gjoners) sphere and in front of the Code Adrnlnl!ltrator in DCD or the Hearing Examiner. The resolution that creates the criteria for a fee waiver was adopted in 1995 and the creation of the County Administrator's Office was subsequent to that and it is not clear if this decision could be delegated to the Cowrty Administrator. They need to make sure that there is nothing put before the Commissioners that would cloud the role of the County Commissioners in regard to the substance of any permitting. If this comes back to the Board on the advise of legal counsel, the Board can only rule on the fee waiver criteria and not on the substance or merits of the binding site plan. Chairman Austin noted that he has contributed financially to Sunfield Farm. Commissioner Sullivan also advised that he has contributed to Sunfield Farm in the past and he pointed out that Sunfield Farm has been the recipient of Conservation Future Funds as well. He asked that staff make a reco=endation on the suggestion of the fee payment being made over time as work was donI< or as fund raising is done. AI Scalf noted that staff will examine the fee ordinance and discuss the issues with legal counsel. The Board needs to avoid any appearance that they are dealing with the substance of the proposal. Philip Morley noted that the Binding Site Plan has to be filed by June 26 and staff will have this back to the Board before that deadline. The meeting was recessed at the conclusion of the business scheduled for the morning. Chairman Austin and Commissioner Sullivan were present when the meeting reconvened at 1 :32 p.m. Page 3 . ~ ' .
