PUBUC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made by citizens in attendance at the meeting and reflect their personal opinions: . The City is progressing with a wireless network and there is concern that the County is not aware of and had input on the project. The City and County need to be sharing information on this type of project; . The request on the Consent Agenda to surplus a number of computers and the process described does not include an option for the public to be offered the items at auction. The County should not render the hard drives on these computers non-functional they should just erase the hard drives and not waste resources that should be saved. Team Jefferson is the only entity being considered for the ADO and why isn't this designation being opened up to a public bid process?; . An invitation was presented to the Board to attend a beach party for the installation of a new swim float at Quilcene. Several projects that will be applying for PIF funds were described; . The Commissioners meeting does not usually start until 9:04 a.m. and that time is taken out of the time for public comment Is it a pledge to the flag or a pledge of allegiance to the flag?; We need to have areas where people can shoot or it will take place everywhere; . The statute is clear that the public hearing has to be held to surplus equipment and that is not the case with what is being done with the computer equipment and the resolution is in violation of the law. Why doesn't the county want to put this surplus property up for auction to make some money?; . The verbal attack during the public comment period last week on a member of the audience was not included in the minutes. A suggestion was made that a committee be set up to review Code issues for the Board as it is in Kitsap County.
