Mr. Alvarez provided a list of questions and answers that compared opting in and opting out options of the VSP. The Board discussed the question and answer list with Mr. Alvarez. Commissioner Sullivan stated therc is some value to this program but also concerns. He is concerned with the lack of funding that will be provided from the State because the Governors proposed budget has a cut of $1.4 million for the Resource Conservation Commission resulting in having local districts pursue local assessments which has not been a popular option in Jefferson County. Legislative authority could create funding for this program but there does not appear to be any action taken on creating funding. Ms. Frostholm stated there is no State funding available at this time. Commissioner Johnson asked if Jefferson County opts in and there is not any or enough funding available, is it certain that the County can opt out later? Mr. Alvarez answered that if funding was provided and the County deemed it was not enough, the County could return it probably without legislative ramifications but there may be some hard feelings in return. Chairman Austin stated that within 60 days of opting in to the VSP, the County must acknowledge receipt of funds when funds are available. He believes if the County opts in to this program then the County could be forced to enforce regulations without providing the necessary funds. Ms. Hoskins statcd that as of January 12,2012, 17 Washington counties have opted in to the VSP. Commissioner Johnson stated according to the VSP, a commission must be created and the commission will not be elected and therefore not held accountable by the public. Commissioner Sullivan stated the Board could send a letter stating we are opting out and the reasons. Ms. Hoskins said she would be willing to work with County Administrator Morley with drafting a letter to bring back before the Board at a future date. County Ordered Curtailment of Operations Due to Inclement Weather Conditions: County Administrator read a draft resolution for the Board to consider regarding County ordered curtailment of operations due to inclement weather conditions. Chairman Austin asked if it would be better for the resolution to include that the County Administrator authorize the curtailment due to a Board member possibly not being able to make it in to Port Townsend during a storm at a future date? County Administrator Morley made changes to the draft resolution to read .....the Board authorizes the County Administrator to make a determination as to curtailment of specific County operation...... Commissioner Johnson moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 05-12 re: County ordered curtailment of operations due to inclement weather conditions with County Administrator Morley's suggested changes. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
