Page 2 Aft Commissioners Meeting Minutes of August 25, 2014 DRAFT , APPOINTMENT of Acting Jefferson County Sheriff. Sheriff Tony Hernandez has notified the County Commissioners he will be leaving office effective August 29, 2014 at Noon, leaving the Sheriff's position vacant. RCW 36.16.115 authorizes the County Commissioners to appoint an existing employee from the Sheriff's Office as an Acting County Sheriff to perform all necessary duties to continue normal office operations when the Sheriff s position is vacant. Under that statute, the Acting Sheriff would serve until a successor is either appointed from three nominees from the party of Sheriff Hernandez (Democrat) or until the election of a new Sheriff is certified in November. County Administrator Philip Morley introduced Chief Criminal Deputy Joe Nole and discussed his experience and education. Chief Criminal Deputy Joe Note has worked in the Sheriff's Office for 21 years. Mr. Nole has extensive knowledge and experience in the operations of the Sheriff's Office. Mr. Nole holds two Bachelor degrees: a Bachelor of Science degree from Evergreen State College, and a B.A. degree from Central Washington University. As Chief Criminal Deputy, Mr. Nole is already a key person in the Sheriff Office's management structure. He supervises the Detective Bureau, the Sheriff's Front Office /Records Division, the Evidence Division, and the Search and Rescue Unit. For the past several years Sheriff Hernandez has relied on Mr. Nole to supervise the department during the Sheriff's absence, and has routinely included Mr. Nole in County Budget meetings, interdepartmental meetings, designated Mr. Nole as the Sheriffs Office's Emergency Management Liaison, and routinely includes him in labor relations with the different bargaining units, along with a variety of other key assignments to assure the smooth operation of the Department. Sheriff Hernandez supports Mr. Nole's appointment of Acting Sheriff... County Administrator Morley stated that Mr. Nole has the knowledge and the experience to manage the office of Sheriff until a new Sheriff is appointed or elected upon certification of the 2014 General Election. Chief Criminal Deputy Nole stated that he has worked under four different Sheriffs during his career with the Sheriff s Office. He would like the opportunity to continue in Sheriff Hernandez's footsteps until the next Sheriff takes office. Sheriff Tony Hernandez stated that he has been with the department for 14 years and has worked with Chief Criminal Deputy Nole. He has looked up to him throughout the years and feels very comfortable knowing that if the Commissioners appoint him to finish his term, the department would be in good hands. He added that Chief Criminal Deputy Nole is a leader who leads by example and has the respect of others in the department. Commissioner Sullivan moved to appoint Chief Criminal Deputy Joe Nole as Acting Jefferson County Sheriff effective August 29, 2014 at Noon until a new County Sheriff is appointed or is elected upon certification of the 2014 General Election results. Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Chief Criminal Deputy Nole will be sworn into office on Friday, August 29, 2014 at Noon in Jefferson County Superior Court. Page 3 RCommissioners Meeting Minutes of August 25 2014 AFT The meeting was recessed at 9:32 a.m. and reconvened at 9:57 a.m. with all three Commissioners present. UPDATE re: Washington State Department ofNatural Resources (DNR) 2 "d Quarter County Income Reports: Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) DNR Regional Manager Sue Trettevik and State Lands Assistant Drew Rosanbalm briefed the Board on the 2 °d Quarter County Income Reports. Assessor Jeff Chapman, seated in the audience, was invited by Chairman Austin to join in on the briefing. Assessor Chapman stated that his office is working on levies for next year and he is interested in how DNR revenue is going to be used. Mr. Rosanbalm handed out documents which included: 1) A letter from the Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark; 2) Timber Harvest Revenues to Jefferson County and other Counties; 3) 2015 Planned Harvest Areas; and 4) Timber Sale Distribution Spreadsheet. He stated that the total timber sales for the 2014 calendar year is approximately $1.4 million. Looking ahead to year 2015, projections show $3.1 million under contracts thus far. There is a significant non - timber revenue already this year. This could be due to a collection of smaller road permits but he is not sure exactly why there is such a larger increase in this area. County Administrator Philip Morley asked if the extreme dry weather this year has interfered with harvesting? Mr. Rosanbalm replied no. They have been lucky due to the humidity recovery at night with the marine layer. He added that the dry weather periods are a great time to put in roads. Assessor Chapman asked if a percentage is distributed to the junior taxing districts? County Administrator Morley replied yes. Depending on location, the percentage usually ends up being around 14 %. Ms. Trettevik stated that the DNR recently started providing figures broken down per tax code. She referred to a page of the document previously handed out regarding Coyle Retreat and used it as an example. She noted that there are three tax codes listed; 201, 205 and 302 and their correlating percentages. She added that the DNR is unaware of the formulas used by the Treasurer's Office to break down the tax codes. Assessor Chapman stated that he has knowledge regarding the Treasurer's formulas. Recently, he has been working with school districts and discussing with them some of the distributions they receive from DNR timber sales. He stated that the school districts are looking into moving funds out of bonds and into capital projects, which the RCW allows. They are wondering how that could work, particularly with Quilcene since they receive such a large share. Assessor Chapman stated that because we are using non -fire districts, should fire districts get a share of it? He believes that in some counties they do and in some counties they do not. Mr. Rosanbalm replied that it is his understanding that fire districts are getting funds. It was pointed out by Assessor Chapman that there are many that are receiving zero as referenced in the documents previously handed out. He added that a zero indicated that the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) receives a portion, but the fire districts do not. When he looked at counties around the state, he noticed that some distributed to fire districts and some did not. Ms. Trettevik noted that the DNR distributes what is set up within the County. They refer to tax codes and the geographic area for that tax code and distribute sales accordingly. It is up to the County on how they would like the structure set up. Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of August 25, 2014 y Eli, Assessor Chapman stated the RCWs are not clear. He believes that due to the DNR already providing fire suppression, this may be why the fire districts are not getting a percentage of the timber sales. EMS receives a portion of timber sales because the DNR does not provide that service. Ms. Trettevik stated she will look into this issue. She had assumed that most of East Jefferson County was considered within a fire district and receiving a portion of the timber sales. County Administrator Morley stated that it would be interesting to see what the standard practice is for other counties. Ms. Trettevik noted that the DNR has agreements with the fire districts regarding response. She added that for the most part, it is a standardized agreement across the state. She explained that the agreements define the fire district boundaries , the DNR's jurisdictional boundaries and the areas where both boundaries overlap. Some counties define in their agreement what areas are developed and what areas are not developed. If an agreement is not defined, DNR refers to the boundaries. Commissioner Sullivan asked who negotiates these agreements? Is it the County government or the fire districts? Ms. Trettevik replied that the agreements they have are with the Commissioners of the fire districts and they negotiate the agreements. She added that currently, they have the same agreement with all the fire districts in our region. Assessor Chapman noted that the issue of fire districts receiving a percentage of timber sales has been a debate for quite some time. Mr. Rosanbalm indicated that the market has been weak this summer and the feeling is that we have hit rock bottom. China's market is getting soft again, but that is typical for this time of year. The building economy is what drives DNR and not a lot of their timber prices are dropping. DNR staff discussed various Jefferson County timber harvest sales with the Board and upcoming harvests. Assessor Chapman asked to be notified of meetings between DNR staff and the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). The next meeting will take place in late November, 2014. EXECUTIVE SESSION. An Executive Session was scheduled from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. with the County Administrator, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, Department of Community Development (DCD) Director, Planning Manager and outside Legal Counsel re: Attorney - Client Privilege, Actual Litigation under exemption RCW 42.30.110(1)(i) as outlined in the Open Public Meetings Act. The actual period of time the Board met in Executive Session on this topic was from 11:02 a.m. to 11:48 a.m. At the conclusion of the Executive Session the Board resumed the regular meeting. County Administrator Philip Morley asked Deputy Prosecuting Attorney David Alvarez if he would be present with Attorney Mark Johnson when this item gets argued? Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Alvarez replied that most likely he will be. Staff from DCD may also be in attendance. The meeting was recessed at 11:51 a.m. and reconvened at 1:29 p.m. with Chairman Austin and Commissioner Sullivan present. Commissioner Johnson arrived later in the meeting.

The Commissioners each provided updates on the following items: Chairman Austin - Reported that new members will be serving on the Substance Abuse Advisory Board (SAAB). - Will be attending the Ecosystem Regional Network (ERN) meeting this week. - Attended a celebration of life for Pete Toyne last week. Commissioner Johnson - Attended a Marine Rail Oil Transport meeting last week. Currently, approximately 19 trains per week haul oil down the Columbia River Gorge and through the Puget Sound. This will soon rise to 57 -59 per week. If the ban on the export of crude oil is lifted, that number could skyrocket to 90 trains per week. Environmental concerns were discussed. - Will be attending the Peninsula Regional Support Network (PRSN) and Olympic Consortium Board meeting this week. Commissioner Sullivan - Attended the Farm Tour, the Port Townsend Paper Corporation Tour, the Volunteer Fair and the Navy's Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) last week. The meeting was recessed at 9:32 a.m. and reconvened at 9:58 a.m. with all three Commissioners present. HEARING re: Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) 2015 -2020: Public Works Director /County Engineer Monte Reinders and Transportation Planner Zoe Lamp briefed the Board on the County's requirement for a Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Those requirements can be found in RCW 38.81.121 and Title 136 WAC. The purpose of the TIP is to assure that each county has advanced plans for not less than six years as a guide in carrying out a coordinated transportation program. In general it must: • Be adopted by legislative authority after one or more public hearings. • Be consistent with adopted Comprehensive Plan. • Include proposed road and bridge construction and non - motorized transportation facilities. • Be based on a realistic assessment of available funding and how the County's money will be spent. Ms. Lamp stated that the process for developing the TIP includes identifying needs and priorities. Following is a list of items which are reviewed by staff: Priority array (updated on odd years) as required by WAC 136 -14 -050. Bridge inspections. Page 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of September 15, 2014 AFT_. • Traffic and crash data. • Culvert inventory. • Comprehensive Plan and various transportation plans and studies. • Available funding sources. Many grants require the project to be identified on the TIP prior to applying for funding. Ms. Lamp indicated that the TIP is not a "wish list'. It is a realistic assessment of available funding. Consequently, there are many desirable projects where no funding source has been identified and these do not appear in the TIP. She noted that available grant funding strongly influences the projects that get completed. The County must balance priority projects with the available funding. In recent years, the department has been successful at leveraging a limited amount of local funds with millions of dollars of grant funding which not only gets capital projects completed, but supports family -wage jobs in Jefferson County. A few of the projects were highlighted: Upper Hoh road — 3 culvert replacement projects. One which will be completed next year and two that will be constructed in 2016. In addition, there are federally funded bank stabilization projects managed by Western Federal Lands (Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)). Irondale, Port Hadlock, Chimacum area has many non - motorized projects planned. Port Ludlow — 2 projects; Paradise Bay Road Phase 2 (construction scheduled for next year) and Paradise Bay Road Phase 3 (planned but funding is not yet secured). Ms. Lamp noted that 17 of the TIP projects have secured funding, but funding for the remaining projects is not secured. A graph depicting the transportation budget was explained. Ms. Lamp stated that the chart which shows a steep decline is the projected future of the fund balance if nothing were to change. Reasons for the steep decline in transportation funding include: • Property tax no longer keeps up with inflation. • People are driving less and/or driving more efficient vehicles. As a result, the Gas Tax funding has declined. • The Secure Rural Schools (SRS) was scheduled to end in 2012 but was reauthorized in 2013 and 2014. Historically, this funding was over $1 million annually. Over the past three years, the funding has come in around $430,000. Currently, there is no indication that Congress will reauthorize this program for 2015 and beyond. Ms. Lamp stated that Public Works staff continues to pay close attention to this situation and in response has made reductions. There may be deeper cutbacks in the future. The Six Year TIP is updated annually to reflect the changing conditions. As in previous years, Public Works staff and the Commissioners will continue to have opportunities through the budgeting process to review and respond as needed to changing circumstances. With the limited local funds available for capital projects, it has become even more critical to plan ahead and seek other funding sources. Page 3 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of September 15. 2014 PRA F T Historically, projects on the TIP have averaged 70% state and federal grant funding with 30% local funding. Recently, Public Works has received some grants that are 100% federally funded with no local match. Currently, local funds represent a small percentage of the total program expenditures while a majority of funding is coming from state and federal grants. As a result, state and federal priorities greatly influence the projects that get completed. Ms. Lamp stated that $1.00 spent from local funds leverages $9.00 in grant funding which helps support family -wage jobs in our local economy. The current ratio of local funds to grant funding is unusual and is unlikely to be sustainable. Director Monte Reinders explained an addition to the TIP that was not previously included in the packet. Ms. Lamp handed out the updated TIP which included the addition of Project 936 Quileene Center Road Rebuild and Pedestrian Improvement. Director Reinders explained that the asphalt along Center Road milepost 14.5 to 15 needs to be rehabilitated. Public Works discovered that the asphalt in that section of road is about 9 inches thick. The top and bottom layers are in good shape, but the middle layer is not and that is a problem. The bottom 4 inches of asphalt is in good shape. Director Reinders explained the project would mill down the top 5" of asphalt to get to the good asphalt down below. The old asphalt will get recycled at an asphalt plant. He added that by doing this project, they would have an opportunity to upgrade the sidewalks at the same time. Director Reinders stated that it would be in the County's best interest to put this project on the TIP to access federal transportation funds. He indicated that they have done asphalt rehabilitation projects before and those projects were all done with state and federal funds. He added that all the right of ways are there and the project fits in well with other projects in the area. Chairman Austin opened the hearing for public testimony. Tom Jay, Jefferson Countv: He asked for clarification regarding funding of the West Uncas culvert and bridge. He indicated that there appears to be no secured funding for that project. Mr. Jay asked if this was correct? Ms. Lamp replied that he was correct, there is no secured funding. Mr. Jay stated that what is happening with the run of Chum Salmon and Silver salmon is increasing rapidly in that watershed. The returning salmon have run out of spawning habitat. They are starting to jam up and trying to push through that culvert. The salmon do not have a way to get in the culvert. Every year his team helps by building a fish ladder, but there is a lot of under - culvert flow and a lot of salmon go under the culvert and die. Mr. Jay stated there is a big stretch of habitat on the upper side of that culvert. He is hoping that some effort would be put into securing funding to allow for engineering to be paid for and started this year or at the latest in 2015. Construction could start in 2016. He indicated he will be contacting North Olympic Salmon Coalition (NOSC) to try and get them to secure funding as well. Mr. Jay added that his team has worked for 20 years getting this run going and it would be a shame to see mortality rates go up. If you get a run of fish that is stacked up, then the females start spawning on top of other reds. That is not productive, a motel can only have one resident. Director Reinders stated Public Works is working with the lead entity, the Hood Canal Coordinating Council (HCCC) which was able to secure the funding for the design of that project. The design was recently submitted to a project manager and they are working with a bridge design firm to complete the design. The design is funded by the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO). He Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of September 15, 2014 T_ added that the Board previously signed a contract with RCO to fund that design. Director Reinders reiterated that while there currently is no funding for the construction phase of the project, there is funding for the design phase, and they are working on that project. Jeff Selby, Port Hadlock: He stated that he is the Vice President of the Jefferson County Chapter of the Peninsula Trails Coalition. He supports the current TIP and is happy to see that almost 30% is dedicated to non - motorized transportation projects. Recently, they received an Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) Grant for the continuation of the project at Discovery Bay in the amount of $500,000. Mr. Selby is very pleased about receiving that grant. In addition to local support, they were lucky to have their trail project integrated with the shoreline restoration that is also going on. Construction will begin in the summer of 2015. Although they did not receive funding this time around from the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (W WRP), he spoke with Public Works Engineer Eric Kuzma who stated that construction for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 may possibly be done together. This would save some funding. He recently found out that the restoration of the McPhee Tunnel around Lake Crescent was a fully funded project that ranked number one in the entire state. This trail concept is growing and gaining momentum. Mr. Selby would like to see Jefferson County give higher priorities to trail projects, specifically the current end of the Milo Curry Trailhead down to Anderson Lake. The coalition has spoken with state parks, the PUD and some private owners in the area and they have all been very supportive. He added that cycle tourism has become a large travel entity in the state and nationally. Economic benefits from cycle tourism are tremendous with figures in the millions of dollars. He would like to see those dollars come to Jefferson County as well. Kathleen Kier, Quilcene: She thanked Public Works staff for adding the Quilcene project to the TIP. The safety of Quilcene pedestrians and children has been a concern due to the traffic on Highway 101 for quite some time. There have been numerous community meetings putting together this plan. Ms. Kler expressed her gratitude that the project is ready to be implemented. She encouraged the Board to approve the TIP. George Yount, Port Townsend: He stated that he is representing the Jefferson County Democratic Party as Chairman and they request support of the proposed TIP. Mr. Yount added that the TIP is comprehensive and a lot of agencies and citizens were involved in the process. They appreciate that kind of effort for our community and urge the Board to adopt the TIP as presented. Hearing no further testimony, Chairman Austin closed the public hearing. Commissioner Sullivan stated that it is going to be a difficult year for transportation in Washington State, but that Jefferson County has consistently found ways to make the most of our funding. Commissioner Johnson noted that the County is in partnership with the North Olympic Salmon Coalition and other organizations to accomplish some of the projects. Chairman Austin stated that Public Works does a great job of responding to issues that arise. Commissioner Johnson moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 43 -14 adopting the 2015 -2020 Six Year Transportation Plan. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Page 5 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of September 15, 2014 r DRAFT- The meeting was recessed at 10:34 a.m. and reconvened at 1:27 p.m. with all three Commissioners present. DISCUSSION Re: Washington State Department of Natural Resources Board of Candidates: Chairman Austin noted that there are two candidates for the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Board-, Commissioner Wolfe of Pacific County and Commissioner McIntyre of Clallam County. He indicated that because of Pacific County's historic role with serving on the DNR's Board in past years, Commissioner Wolfe would fit that role best. The Commissioners agreed. Commissioner Johnson moved to have Commissioner Sullivan represent Jefferson County at the Washington State Association of Counties (WSAC) Conference and relay their support of Commissioner Wolfe. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. CO UNTYADMINISTRA TOR BRIEFING SESSION: County Administrator Philip Morley reviewed the following with the Board.
