ANALYSIS /STRATEGIC GOALS /PRO'S and CON'S: A vacancy on the CF Committee was advertised in the The Leaderon January 8, 2014. Mr. Harbour expressed interest by the January 24 deadline. He was the only applicant for this seat. Three CF Committee members and staff reviewed Mr. Harbour's application materials and interviewed him in person on January 31. We agreed that, although he became a Jefferson County resident relatively recently, his background and experience make him exceptionally well - suited to participate in the committee and evaluate the merits of open space projects. Mr. Harbour was a planner for Island County, a member of the Whidbey Island Land Trust Board of Directors, manager of Ebey's Landing National Historic Reserve, and a planning director for the Town of Coupeville before moving to Port Townsend about six months ago. His career has also included serving on the Island County Conservation Futures Technical Advisory Committee. If appointed, Mr. Harbour would like to represent the interest "Working Lands" on the CF Committee. FISCAL IMPACT /COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS: There is no fiscal impact to the county's General Fund for appointing Mr. Harbour to serve on the CF Committee.
