world can affect our small community and we must be aware of global issues;

Minutes: Week of December 17. 2012
Adopting a Countywide Grant Policy (Consent Agenda Item No. I): Chairman Austin
asked if the Grants Coordinator is a specific position in the County and how is it defined? County
Auditor Donna Eldridge stated in an Exit Conference with the State Auditor there was a finding
regarding a grant and part of the correction action is to create a policy and procedure regarding grant
management. Most employees that are involved in grant management do so by a "other duties as
assigned" clause in their job description. County Administrator Philip Morley stated there is not a
specific Grants Coordinator position, but the responsibility may vary from department to department and
possibly vary by grant. A grants coordinator definition will be added to the policy and the policy will be
returned to the Board for approval at a future date.
HEARING: 9th Quarter 2012 BudgetAppropriations/Extensions: County
Administrator Morley explained the following budget appropriations:
• Superior Court Fund # 001-240-010 has an expense of $53,300 due to
costs for a Court Commissioner, Conflict Attorney Cases, Guardian Ad
Litem services, Expert Services and Physiological Evaluations;
• Animal Services Fund # 129-000-010 has an expense of $5,000 due to an
additional payment of insurance, fuel for vehicles and repair and
maintenance of a vehicle;
Parks & Recreation Fund # 175-000-010 has an expense of $7,163 due to
salary and wages, small tools and minor equipment, professional services,
administrative and bookkeeping and resource conservation;
Equipment Rental and Revolving Fund # 501-000-010 has an expense of
$80,000 due to machinery and equipment that was due fox delivery in 2013
but was delivered early; and
Risk Management Reserve Fund # 502-000-010 has an expense of
$25,000 due to the number of pending claims.
Chairman Austin opened the hearing for public testimony.
Tom Thiersch: He is glad to see there is not an emergency requiring these extensions. He is surprised
that there are two Animal Control trucks because he thought there was only one animal control officer.
The $80,000 that is being moved from next year to this year because of early delivery of equipment will
be reflected in next years budget. There aze inter-fund transfer fund payments, it shows there is an
expenditure that is additional to a given fund but where is it coming from?
Mike Belenksi: I would like to second what Mr. Thiersch stated this morning during public comment.
Putting out contracts not for competitive bid, and whoever we want to have the contract, we go ahead
and pay it no matter what the price is. The visitors fence cost $4,000 when it could've been done for
$800. It is a waste of the public's money. Here we are sitting here, departments asking for more money,
when we could've skipped this whole step by taking better care of money we had previously that wasn't
taken care of. How many thousands of dollars of equipment is missing from the Sheriff's department?
Does any one know? Has anyone bothered looking into that? No? Just throw that stuff away and no
one cares about it? Let people steal stuff and its gone! $12,000 for worms. $368,000 so someone can tell
us how to turn the lights off. Ridiculous. You don't take care of the public's money, you throw it away
like it is toilet paper. If you really cared about the public's money, you would be talking about how to
Page 3
Minutes: Week of December 17, 2012
~~ e
put things up for bid and how to take caze of the stuff you already got. Reminds me of when Sartin was
the Information Services guy. I was going to bid on surplus equipment, included in that was a in-focus
projector, brand new, $2,200. I inspected the stuff, the in-focus projector was not there. You are
supposed to report missing or likely stolen items to the State Auditor, and Mr. Sartin told me I needed to
do what I needed to do. He needed to do what he needed to do and he didn't want to do it. So where is
the in-focus projector at? Everyday he is here, he watches people walk past the chain with no Jefferson
County identification on them and it says authorized personnel only. How do we keep people from
walking through here and stuffing things under their arm and walking out the door? How do we do that,
Commissioner Austin, how do we do that? You don't care do you? You only have two years left, just
collect the money, walk out the door and laugh.
Deforest Walker: I came here today regarding a land use item on the agenda that is scheduled for later,
but as I have sat here through the course of events of the meeting, and we are talking about the budget, I
know there's not a lot of money to play with. I would like to know if there is any money to get a bailiff
in this room so I don't have to get up out of my warm retirement bed to come here and listen to my
elected officials be name called and insulted as I have heard this morning. On behalf of the citizenry, I
apologize to you for being name called as I have heard today. It is not something I expected to hear,
being down here in this forum. I really believe that we should have some rules. If citizens want to come
down here and speak their mind then that is all well and good, but I do not believe our citizens should be
name called and that is not why I came down here to listen to this morning. I am very sorry that the
elected officials had to be name called and maybe there could be a rule as to the nature of public
testimony.
Donna Eldridee, County Auditor: I heard a question from Mr. Thiersch regarding inter-fund payments.
Inter-fund payments are tracked, there is a revenue and expenditure and it has to reconcile during the
State Audit. What we have added to this appropriation process is that all appropriations go through my
office so the accountant has an opportunity to review them. The inter-fund payment that she sees is from
Risk Management, which has a reserve balance. Cash balance is like savings and Risk Management has
some savings and this is coming from the fund balance. Once a year the accountant prepares a request
for reimbursement to the Risk Management Fund. When Risk Management pays a claim, the
appropriate department is billed for the claim. That is why there is an additional revenue source of
$25,000 and expenditure of $25,000. I could talk until I was blue in face with regard to fixed assets. We
have a fixed asset process and right now the departments aze asking and certifying that their fixed assets
are there. It will then come before the Commissioners to be certified. The State Auditor has tried to
answer a whistleblower report for years and the whistleblower has yet to be satisfied with what the State
Auditor has to say. We are on top of it. You are on top of it. I could tell you about the projector that
went to anon-profit. The whistleblower knows it went to a non-profit but the whistleblower chooses to
ignore what staff say what happened to it after the process. Superior Court may need help this year, but
last year they gave back over 4% of their budget so they are not in control of when trials happen.
Sidnev Collens: I will be paying more attention as a citizen to what goes on budget-wise. I am not an
auditor but I can read budgets. I am concerned and do not know about big contracts. I am also
concerned about processes with consent agenda items. I am uncomfortable with you guys being
offended and called names, however, there is a slippery slope. A person here must be allowed to be
critical and criticize our elected officials. I am not comfortable with statements that are made, but I am

more uncomfortable with violating the First Amendment which enable citizens to be critical. It comes
with the territory right?
Hearing no further testimony, the hearing was closed.
Commissioner Johnson asked why there are two animal control trucks? County Administrator Morley
stated that until December, there were two animal control officers and the expense was from earlier in
the year. He believes it is possible that the track is now being held in reserve or may have been
surplused. He will follow up on that issue.
Commissioner Johnson moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 73-12 re: 4th Quarter 2012 budget
appropriations /extensions for various County departments. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the
motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

Acreage Requirement for Small-Scale Recreation & Tourist Uses When a Historic Feature is
Present; and to Revise the Definition for `Historic Site, Structure or Landmark': Associate Planner
Michelle McConnell reviewed an application from Eric and Pattie Van Beuzekom submitted on behalf
of Paradise Theater School to change the allowed use table for indoor recreation and entertainment
facilities. Department of Community Development (DCD) staff recommended an alternative proposal
that would not allow an entertainment facility on every rural 1 to 5 parcel. The applicant agreed and
changed their proposal to waive the minimum requirement for small-scale recreation and tourist use
when a historic feature is present and to revise the definition for "Historic Site Structure or Landmark"

well attended. The majority of hearing comments were in favor of the proposed change. The Board
reviewed the proposed text change for JCC 18.10.080 H. Definitions, Historic Site, Structure or
Landmark and the text change to JCC 18.20.350 Small Scale Recreation and Tourist Uses.
