SUBJECT: AGREEMENT, Amendment No. 2 re: Interim Director of Department of
Community Development; Extension Until June 20, 2016; Jefferson County
Administrator's Office; David Goldsmith
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Board of Commissioners approval is requested for the attached Amendment No. 2 to the professional
services agreement with David Goldsmith as Interim Director of the Department of Community
Development.
ANALYSTS:
Mr. Goldsmith has agreed to remain as Interim Director of DCD, while the County continues to recruit a
permanent DCD Director to replace Carl Smith, who retired on September 25, 2015.
The attached Amendment No. 2 would extend the existing agreement through June 20, 2016. All other
provisions of the original Agreement executed on September 8, 2015, as amended by Amendment No.
executed on December 21, 2015, remain in full force and effect.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Services are compensated at $9,600 per month for a minimum of 16 days worked each month. DCD
presently expends $9,541 per month in salary and benefits for the Director position, so the net cost to the
Department is only $59/month.

CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT will fully cooperate with any investigation
or review of said act or omission in compliance with the controlling WCRP

to represent his interests.
• A system shall be established within Community Development to identify all
applications or files relating to former or current clients of CONSULTANT,
and to clearly mark them "Goldsmith Conflict" for the term of this
AGREEMENT. During the term of this AGREEMENT, CONSULTANT will
not have any interaction with any application or file of former or current
clients. During the term of this AGREEMENT CONSULTANT will not
perform work for current clients to prepare or promote client projects subject
to COUNTY review, permits, approval or other COUNTY actions; Contractor

assign any of the services covered by this AGREEMENT without the express

2. Will not distract from the efficiency of the employee while performing County duties
3. Will present no conflict of interest with County business
4. Will not take preference over extra duty required by County employment
5. Will create no liability for the County. The County may require evidence of a written contract

In order to maintain public confidence in the performance of individual offices and departments,
Departmental Directors may develop, in addition to those listed above, certain other criteria for how,
when and under what circumstances employees may engage in outside employment.
Any employee engaged in outside or other employment that conflicts with the requirements of this
section shall resign from such outside or other employment or shall be terminated upon refusal to
resign.
Any outside or other employment that could potentially interfere with emergency call -out situations
must be reported to the Departmental Director. If, after accepting outside or other employment,
situations arise which could interfere with the employee's job as provided in Subparagraph 1 above,
the employee shall immediately report that situation to their Departmental Director.
If an employee is unsure of the criteria or effect of outside or other employment, the employee
should contact the Departmental Director to obtain clarification.

Jefferson County recognizes that different organizations have different codes of ethics. However. just
because a certain action may be acceptable by others outside of Jefferson County as °`standard
practice" that is by no means sufficient reason to assume that such practice is acceptable as an
employee of Jefferson County.
While it is not possible to develop a comprehensive detailed set of rules to cover every situation, the
County does adhere to and will strictly enforce any and all state laws or regulations relating to
conflicts of interest, appearance of fairness and ethics that are applicable to the employees and
officials of this County. The statutes provide detailed outlines of what constitutes ethical and
appropriate behavior while employed with the County.
If an employee or someone, with whom the employee has a close personal relationship, has a
financial or employment relationship with a vendor, potential vendor, or any person or business
entity doing business or wishing to do business with the County, teen the employee has an "interest,"
as that term is defined in Section 2.0. in such circumstances the employee is considered to have an
"interest" that mandates disclosure of that "interest" and eventual resolution in accordance with this
Code.
For purposes of this policy, an employee shall be. deemed to have an 'interest in the affairs of:
1. The employee's spouse or domestic. partner, or dependent children
2. Any person or business entity with which a contractual relationship exists with the employee
3. Any business entity in which the employee is an officer, director, member or employee
4. Any business entity in which the employee owns or controls an interest either directly or
indirectly.
The employee must disclose this "interest" in writing to their Departmental Director. The
Departmental Director with the help of the County Administrator and the Human Resource Manager
will determine what course of action, if any, must be taken to resolve any conflict he or she believes
may exist.
Section 4.1- Examples of Conflict of Interest
A conflict of interest may arise, by way of example only, if an employee:
a Accepts non -nominal (greater than $25 in value) gifts from vendors, potential vendors or any
third -party who does business with the County;
a Accepts ANY form of remuneration or non -business related entertainment from a third -party
who does business with the County;
a Sells to third parties any information, products, or materials acquired from the County;
a Engages in outside business activities in such a way or to such an extent that the outside
business activities adversely affect the County or the employees' job performance;
a Performs outside work for a vendor of the County or any third -party that does business with
the County; (See Chapter 11, Section 14.0 on Outside .Employment.)
a Engages in any outside employment or any other business undertaking to his or her personal
gain that is, or can ALSO be, perceived to be prejudicial to the best interest of Jefferson
County;
a Uses proprietary and/or confidential information for personal gain or to the County's
detriment; uses assets or labor for personal use unless the use is as specified in Chapter 11.

If the conflict is severe enough Jefferson County may be forced to ask the employee to tender his or
her resignation or may, at its sole discretion,. no longer transact business with that third -party.
Jefferson County has the sole discretion to:
a) determine whether such a conflict of interest exists and
b) determine the course of action to be taken to remove or end the conflict.
Employees are encouraged to seek assistance from their supervisor or Departmental Director with
any legal or ethical concerns. However, Jefferson County realizes this may not always be possible.
As a result, employees may contact the Human Resource Manager to report anything that they cannot
discuss with their supervisor or Departmental Director.
Section 4.2 — Political Activities
Employees shall comply with provisions of RCW 41.06.250 as the same exists or is hereafter
amended, which generally prohibits compulsory assessment or involuntary contributions and
solicitation on public property for any partisan political purposes. If an employee, an employee's
spouse, or the parent or guardian of an un -emancipated minor employee is elected to the Board of
County Commissioners, the employee shall be deemed to have resigned from County employment
upon the date of certification of the results of the election', if required by State law. This provision
shall not apply to persons employed as unskilled day laborers earning less that $100.00 (one
hundred) per month or to public officers exempt from prohibition of RCW 42.23.

Chapter 5 — Standards of Conduct
Section 1.0 — Rules of Conduct
It is the County's policy to place as few restraints on employee personal conduct as possible. The

of guidance for conducting day-to-day duties and responsibilities.
For the protection of the County's business interests, the public, and other employees, certain rules of
conduct have been established. These rules are formalized for each employee's information and to
minimize the likelihood of any employee, through misunderstanding or otherwise. becoming subject
to disciplinary action.
Each employee is responsible for complying with the County's standards of conduct policy as a

In the interest of Jefferson County and the public, it is desirable that an employee's conduct reflects
favorably on the employee, their fellow employees and the County at all times, whether off-duty or
on -duty. Off-duty misconduct may result in discipline when it renders an employee less capable of
performing their duties and responsibilities or when it reflects unfavorably upon an employee's
continuing qualifications for employment. Employees may be transferred, demoted, terminated or
have other action taken as a result of on -duty or off-duty conduct that results in a loss of public
confidence in the employee as a member of the County staff.
It is the County's policy to place as few restraints on employee personal conduct as possible. The

Section 51 -- Investigation
As. soon as a Departmental Director becomes aware of a possible infraction of the standards of
conduct, they should immediately assign a non-involved County official or employee to conduct a
preliminary investigation. An essential .requirement of the investigator is that they be capable of
objectively evaluating the facts and the persons involved and be perceived by the involved
employees as someone who is fair and objective. The investigator should conduct interviews with all
witnesses as soon as possible after the event and detailed notes should be taken. if the incident
involves a serious infraction, the interviewer should obtain signed statements from the witnesses.
The investigation should determine the following:
I . Whether or not the incident occurred
2. Who was involved in the incident
3. Names of any witnesses and signed statements, if appropriate
4. A statement describing the specific nature of the incident and when it occurred
5. A statement describing any consequences of the incident such as injuries, reduced
productivity, damage to County property, etc.
In the case of minor infractions, a simplified version of the above process may be followed.
Section 6.0 — Disciplinary Action
once an investigation has been conducted and it has been determined that an infraction has occurred,
one or more of the following disciplinary actions may be taken. The County may skip steps in this
sequence whenever, in its judgment, circumstances require an. abbreviated disciplinary procedure. A
review of the employee's employment and departmental personnel files will be conducted to identify
circumstances that would support either increasing or reducing the imposed disciplinary action.
The employee's Departmental Director must complete a written disciplinary action form. The
employee's name, job classification and department should be identified on the form. In describing
the nature of the misconduct, the following information should be provided:
1. The date and time of the infraction
2. A brief description of the events
3. A list of rules or policies that were violated
4. The effective date and nature of the disciplinary action. If the discipline is a final warning, it
should be clearly stated that a future offense will result in immediate termination.
The employee must be allowed to review the disciplinary action form and must also understand
exactly what action will be taken should another violation occur. The employee should be asked to
sign the disciplinary form. If the employee refuses to sign, the Department Director should attempt
to have the employee sign a notation that they refused to sign the disciplinary action form. In the
event the employee refuses to sign the .notation, the Departmental Director should have another
Departmental Director verify the. employee's refusal.
it is important that detailed notes are kept of this meeting and to have another person present to
witness the proceedings_

Section 6.1— Oral Warning
Oral warnings may be given for minor offenses or to bring to the attention of an employee potential
work performance problems. Oral warnings may include an explanation of the violation or problem
and requests for corrective action on the part of the employee. A notation of each oral warning
should.be placed in the employee's departmental personnel file and maintained by the Departmental
Director for future reference. In addition, the offending employee may be given a written notation of
the warning.
Section 6.2 — Written Warning
A written warning may be given for a more serious offense or when the employee, who has received
one or more oral warnings for minor offenses or problems in their work performance, repeats them
or fails to take corrective action. A copy of the written warning is to be signed by and given to the
employee and a copy entered into the employee's departmental personnel file.
Section 6.3 — Suspension/Final Warning
A suspension may be given for serious infractions of employee rules of conduct for which immediate
discharge is not appropriate. for repeated offenses, or for failure to correct an action for which .a
written warning was previously given. A suspension is time off without pay for disciplinary reasons.
6.3.1 Non -Exempt Employees:.
The number of days of suspension is dependent upon the nature of the violation and
the employee's record.

time off without pay shall be for the entire pay
In each case of disciplinary suspension, a written memo will be prepared. After review with the
employee, a copy will be given to the employee, and a signed copy will be entered into the
employee's departmental personnel file.
Section 6.4 — Discharge
When the .Departmental Director feels that the nature of a violation warrants discharge or ifthe
discharge is a result of the disciplinary procedure where the desired corrective action was not
achieved by one or all of the steps above (written warning, suspension, etc.), the Departmental
Director will prepare a written report and submit it to the HRM.
6.4.1 Pre -discharge Meeting:
A pre -discharge meeting will be conducted by the Discharge Committee, which is
composed -of one (1) Departmental Director from a department other than the
department of the discharged employee, (2) the HRM, and (3) the Clerk or Deputy
Clerk of the Board, who will act as secretary of the meeting. The County
Administrator shall make appointments to the discharge committee as needed. The
discharge committee may use the services of legal council or consultants as required.

opportunity to respond to these charges, either orally or in writing, and to explain why
the County should not go ahead with the discharge.
No employee who has completed atrial period shall be terminated for any reason without a pre-
discharge meeting of the Discharge Committee.
Although the Departmental Director's explanation of the County's evidence should be sufficient to
inform the employee of the basis for discharge, this procedure shall not be construed to limit the
County at any subsequent hearing or proceeding, from presenting a more detailed and complete case
including the presentation of witnesses and/or documents not introduced at the pre -discharge
meeting. Should tate discharge committee determine to proceed with the discharge or some
alternative disciplinary action, the County will give the employee written notice of discipline without
undue delay.
Section 7.0 — Appeal Process
An appeal may be made by the employee within five (5) business days of the disciplinary action
meeting. The appeal must be submitted in writing to the HRM. The HRM will review the
investigation notes and the employee's employment and departmental personnel files to ensure that
the disciplinary action is fair and consistent within five (5) business days of receipt of the appeal.
If the employee is subject to a collective bargaining agreement, the employee shall follow the process
as outlined in their union contract.

JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Philip Morley, County Administrator
DATE: September 8, 2015
RE: Professional Services Agreement Interim Director Department of
Community Development; David Goldsmith; not to exceed $32,100
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Board of Commissioners approval is requested for the attached
professional services agreement with David Goldsmith to be Interim Director of the Department
of Community Development.
A companion Resolution has been submitted separately for Board approval to formally delegate
to Mr. Goldsmith during his tenure, the titles and responsibilities of the position under County
code and State law.
ANALYSIS: Carl Smith is retiring as the Director of Community Development (DCD) on
September 25, 2015. David Goldsmith has agreed to serve as Interim Director of DCD while the
County conducts a search for a new permanent DCD Director.
Mr. Goldsmith is uniquely qualified to serve as Interim Director of DCD. He previously served
as Director of Jefferson County's Planning Department for six years and as Director of the
County's Planning and Building Department for another seven years. During that time he also
served for seven months as the Washington State Growth Management Division's Unit Manager.
Mr. Goldsmith's career with Jefferson County continued to progress, serving as Jefferson
County's Director of Community Services, Deputy County Administrator, and finally, County
Administrator until he retired from Jefferson County service. Since then, Mr. Goldsmith served
as Co -Manager of the Washington Counties Risk Pool, and presently leads WCRP's Member
Services and Specialty Services on a part-time basis statewide. He is a longtime resident of
Jefferson County and is actively engaged in and knowledgeable of the communities we serve.
The enclosed professional services agreement sets out the terms and conditions of Mr.
Goldsmith's services to the County. Terms and conditions include project designation, scope of
services, time of performance, payment, reporting, operating support and expenses, ownership
and use of documents, compliance with laws, indemnification, insurance, independent contractor
status, discrimination prohibited, outside employment and code of ethics and standards of
conduct, county internet email and voicemail use, assignment and subcontracting, background
check, termination, venue for disputes, and integrated agreement.
A companion Resolution has been submitted for Board approval separately, to formally delegate
the titles and responsibilities of the DCD Director position under County code and State law to
Mr. Goldsmith during his tenure.
FISCAL IMPACT: Services are compensated at $9,600 per month for a minimum of 16 days
worked each month. DCD presently expends $9,541 per month in salary and benefits for the
Director position, so the net cost to the department is only $59/month. Services would continue
until a permanent DCD Director begins, or terminate on December 31, 2015, whichever is first,
for a total cost not to exceed $32,100.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the proposed Professional Services Agreement with David
Goldsmith.

SUBJECT: Sole Source — Personal Services of David Goldsmith as Interim DCD Director
Carl Smith tendered his resignation for September 25, 2015 on August 18. A new permanent
DCD Director cannot be recruited and hired by Mr. Smith's retirement date. DCD's Planning
Manager position is vacant, leaving no management staff to step in to run the department.
With relatively short notice to identify an Interim Director, the County discovered Mr. David
Goldsmith is willing to serve in that capacity.
Mr. Goldsmith is uniquely qualified to serve as Interim Director of DCD by virtue of is
knowledge of planning/permitting, his direct and lengthy experience leading Jefferson County
DCD previously, his executive management experience, and his current knowledge of county
government and managing its liabilities through is leadership with the Washington Counties Risk
Pool. These qualifications allow him to step in and perform immediately, with very little
transition time or need to learn Jefferson County's regulations or administrative procedures.
Mr. Goldsmith previously served as Director of Jefferson County's Planning Department for six
years and as Director of the County's Planning and Building Department for another seven years.
During that time he also served for seven months as the Washington State Growth Management
Division's Unit Manager. Mr. Goldsmith's career with Jefferson County continued to progress,
serving as Jefferson County's Director of Community Services, Deputy County Administrator,
and finally, County Administrator until he retired from Jefferson County service. Since then,
Mr. Goldsmith served as Co -Manager of the Washington Counties Risk Pool, and presently leads
WCRP's Member Services and Specialty Services on a part-time basis statewide. He is a
longtime resident of Jefferson County and is actively engaged in and knowledgeable of the
communities the County serves. In addition he has gained useful customer perspective on
DCD's permitting as a consultant to a variety of permit applicants.
A copy of Mr. Goldsmith's resume is attached, providing more detail on his relevant experience,
as well as his many professional affiliations, awards and achievements.
