The agreement with the previous camp host has expired. Clayton White has volunteered to serve as camp host for one year. A camp host agreement has been prepared and is ready for approval. The campground is open yearround. Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's Et Con's: Quilcene County Campground and Day Use Park has a regional draw due to its accessible location on Hwy 101, close to the Hood Canal and services in the town of Quilcene. Park patrons enjoy the wooded campground, park shelter, playground, tennis and basketball courts, toilets, and camping facilities. Local businesses benefit from increased tourism. Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis: Operation of the campground by volunteers is approximately cost neutral. Direct expenditures are roughly equal to campground revenue. Overhead costs are increased. An large added benefit is maintenance of the day use park which is regularly used. Recommendation: Review and approve the agreement and return two copies to Public Works.
