Snlllvan District No.3 Commissioner: John Anstin County Administrator: Philip Morley Clerk of the Board: Lorna Delaney MINUTES Week of May 16, 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: . 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 burn 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 burn abnost 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.

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 community 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 community 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 amazing 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.
