Page 2
Commissioners Meeting Minutes of August 26, 2013
Community and a coalition between government and community working together is very effective in
terms of prevention. Ms. Matlock stated she hoped that Jefferson County government would also be
involved in this coalition effort. She provided an information sheet explaining what PRI is about and
also submitted a flyer promoting the Chimacum Prevention Coalition which states:
" Chimacum has been selected to receive support to promote healthy lifestyle choices for Chimacum
youth and families with a focus on alcohol and other drug prevention. The program is called Prevention
Redesign Initiative (PRI). It is a collaboration between Olympic Educational Service District 114,
Chimacum School District and Jefferson County Public Health. It is funded by the State Department of
Social and Health Services' Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR). A community
coalition will be developed to assess the unique community strengths and needs, canvas existing
resources and then develop a strategic prevention plan..."
Ms. Matlock asked for participation from a Jefferson County Commissioner or a Commissioner
designee to serve on the newly developing Chimacum Prevention Coalition. The position would include
committee assignments and six meetings per year. The Board will consider the request and make a
permanent appointment at a later date.
The meeting was recessed at 9:54 a.m. and reconvened at 1:30 p.m. with Chairman
Austin and Commissioner Sullivan present. Commissioner Johnson was absent due to a previously
scheduled appointment.
Additional Business: Presentation re: Duckabush Flood Plain Acquisition Project:
Environmental Health Specialist II Tami Pokorny discussed acquisition of floodplain property along the
Duckabush River. She handed out two maps of the location of the Duckabush Floodplain Acquisition
Project showing streams and channel migration zones.
Ms. Pokorny identified on the map the location of the Duckabush property which is owned by
Bermsen- Poetter and consists of 21.9 acres. The appraisal and environmental review has been done.
There is a question as whether the County or Jefferson Land Trust will take title and stewardship of the
Duckabush property. Environmental Health staff's recommendation would be that Jefferson Land Trust
(JLT) take title, if they are interested, as they already have ownership of other property in the area.
Chairman Austin stated he believed it would make sense for Jefferson Land Trust to take ownership.
The Board agreed that the property should be acquired by Jefferson Land Trust. The Health Department
will report back to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation at a future date.
Letter: Chairman Austin moved to send a letter to the Washington State Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) endorsing their acquisition of properties in Jefferson County. Commissioner
Sullivan seconded the motion which carried.
