The contract will become effective in January 2014. The contract will be awarded based on services
provided and the cost for those services. The needs of the County are complex. It has been suggested
that the County use a Credit Union or a local bank, but many of the services required by the County are
not offered by local banks. The State of Washington also banks with Bank of America.
The County invests $62 million and none of that money is invested with Bank of America. It is invested
in the Washington State Pool which is controlled by the Washington State Treasurer. The County also
invests in treasuries and CD's. The primary CD's the County has are with Kitsap Bank.
County Administrator Morley asked ifthe invested $62 million is entirely County funds? Treasurer
Morris answered, no, it includes the hospital, school district and fire districts.

HEARING: Moratorium on New Mooring Buoys in the Southern Portion of Port
Townsend Bay: Planning Manager Stacie Hoskins presented an extension of a moratorium on new
mooring buoys in the southern portion of Port Townsend Bay. Others present were Allen Bogner
representing the Washington State Office of Regulatory Assistance, Brady Scott from the Washington
State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Mark Toy representing the Washington State
Department of Health (DOH).
Mr. Scott stated in December an inventory was completed of mooring buoys in the southern portion of
Port Townsend Bay. The inventory results showed 54 mooring buoys or vessels were counted in total
and of those, 15 were authorized. In April inventory was counted again and the number had decreased to
42. There are three mooring buoys that are authorized by Jefferson County, but do not have
authorization from DNR. Two of the three have a pending application with DNR.
Mr. Toy stated a dozen buoys or vessels must be moved in order to protect a shellfish farm in the area.
Chairman Austin opened the hearing for public testimony.
Alden Johnson: As a former cruiser, he would not know that he was unauthorized to anchor in a
particular area unless it stated so on a buoy. How would he know it's not authorized? Would it be on
marine charts?
Mr. Scott stated anchoring is allowed State owned aquatic land up to 30 days in a 90 day period of 365
days. If a vessel is anchored longer than that, it is not considered temporary. The vessel must move a
minimum of five miles away from the previous anchored spot.
Ms. Hoskins stated in the draft Shoreline Management plan there is a public education portion regarding
voluntary no anchor zones, so education is made from the water and the land areas.
Hearing no further comments, Chairman Austin closed the public hearing.
