MINUTES
Week of August 15,2011
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 Climate Action Plan is unnecessary as prehistoric times had a higher level of C02 and the
world did not self destruct; water vapor is a high percentage of climate change.
. A citizen urged the Board to take action on a proposed noise ordinance and according to policy
the County Administrator does not have control over proposed legislative items.
. A citizen stated he does not believe the County needs a noise ordinance and hopes the Board is
not supporting the expansion of the Olympic National Park.
. The House of Representatives will not allow unemployment extensions anymore which will
cause riots in most cities.
. Jefferson County cannot change global warming and money spent on it would be better used for
social services to help families in need.
