UPDATE re: Washington State Department of Natural Resources 4`h Quarter County
Income Report. Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) staff that attended the
meeting included Regional Manager Sue Trettevik and staff Brian Turner, Brett McGinley and Drew
Rosanbalm reviewed the 2nd Quarter County Income report.
Three documents were presented: 1) Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark letter to Jefferson
County Commissioners and a packet on Timber Sale Distribution; 2) Revenue reports specific to
Jefferson County; and 3) Bangor North and South maps.
Mr. Rosanbalm stated that the Penny Waterline timber sold for $3.2 million dollars which was well over
what had been anticipated. Interorrem sale will be coming up in April, 2014 and he will look into the
details of that sale. He hopes that the bidding for Interrorem will be higher than the appraised value.
Mr. Turner stated that between thinning and other projects, there will be a lot of wood moving through
Jefferson County this year. He noted that the Penny Waterline timber sale will most likely be harvested
as soon as possible since the buyer also purchased the Coyle Retreat timber.
The Board discussed the Trust Land Transfer (TLT) for the Devil's Vista area. Ms. Trettevik stated the
decision is to proceed with the sale, but there is a portion along the bluff that could potentially be a TLT.
She will be taking a closer look at this area.
Mr. Turner reviewed the forecast for 2015, the Bangor North and South maps and a unit in the Coyle
area. He noted that on the Bangor North and South maps, the ownership areas are depicted in blue and
the harvest areas are depicted in pink. He discussed the Lemonds Road easement issue which has held
up harvesting of the Bangor North unit. DNR purchased a parcel adjacent to the property in question and
will now be able to access the property. He stated there will be a community meeting regarding the
upcoming commercial management and harvesting of that unit.
County Administrator Philip Morley stated that the County has a 50 year lease on property in the
Quimper Wildlife Corridor. He asked Ms. Trettevik why a lease was done and what happens at the end
of 50 years? How can this be turned into something that is permanent? Ms. Trettevik replied that at one
point, the legislature pushed those types of properties into leases. In regard to the recent Beausite TLT
with the County, she stated that DNR requested the transaction not be a lease, because they realized the
complications it presents to the County. Ms. Trettevik indicated she will look into what will happen at
the end of the 50 year lease. County Administrator Morley asked if there was a way to convert the lease?
Ms. Trettevik replied that it would have to go back to the legislature and she would look into that
process.
The meeting was recessed at 11:03 a.m. and reconvened at 1:32 p.m. with Commissioner
Sullivan and Commissioner Johnson present.
