Associate Planner and Outside Legal Counsel regarding Attorney -Client Privilege, Potential 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 was from 11:02 a.m. to 12:25 p.m. At the conclusion of the

The meeting was recessed at 12:26 p.m. and reconvened at 1:34 p.m. with Madam Chair
Kler and Commissioner Sullivan present.
DISCUSSION re: BID AWARD re: Construction of Undie Road Emergency
Relocation Project (Consent Agenda Item No. 2): Call for bids for Undie Road Emergency Relocation
Project 180-2007-0 were duly advertised and sealed bids were opened on July 11, 2016. Public Works
Department staff investigated the responsiveness of the bids and the qualifications of the lowest bidder.
Several permit approvals are still pending on this project as is final authorization from the Washington
State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for access to State land and roads; however, the Public
Works Department is cautiously optimistic that these approvals will be secured in time for an early
August construction start date. In order for this to occur, contract award is necessary to allow the
contractor time to acquire the performance bond needed to enter into a contract with the County by the
end of July. Contract award does not contractually bind the County at this point.
Commissioner Sullivan deleted the bid award from the Consent Agenda during the morning session for
further discussion. Public Works Director/County Engineer Monte Reinders was present for the
discussion to answer any questions. Commissioner Sullivan asked if a meeting had been set up with the
Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Commissioner of Public Lands Peter
Goldmark? Madam Chair Kler replied she has not had a chance to speak with Commissioner Goldmark,
but has spoken to his staff. She stated that the price quoted by DNR for access to their road at $210,000
was already a discounted amount and it may be a tough sell.
Commissioner Sullivan asked how much maintenance along the new Undie Road will cost? Director
Reinders replied that gravel roads on the west end of the County cost approximately $11,000 per mile,
per year. Last winter, the County spent approximately $300,000 on Undie Road, some will be
reimbursed by FEMA. He added that a fully staffed shop, equipment and personnel needs to be staffed
on the west end to adequately service the roads on the west end.
Madam Chair Kler stated that Director Reinders has done a lot of work to make this right for the
residents of Undie Road. What makes it a hard decision is the dollar proportionality. Director Reinders
queried what it would look like if the County did nothing for the Undie Road residents?
Commissioner Sullivan stated that the search for money does not have to be over, but seeking alternative
funding sources will get harder once the County goes down this road. He noted that he believes he has a
good sense of Commissioner Johnson's view on Undie Road and the emergency nature of the situation.
Madam Chair Kler moved to approve the BID AWARD re: Construction of Undie Road Emergency
Relocation Project, County Road No. 150009, County Project No. 180-2007-0; In the Amount of
Page 3
Commissioners Meeting Minutes of July 18, 2016
$905,310, Jefferson County Public Works; Interwest Constructio inc. on r Sullivan
seconded the motion. The motion carried. ..
Director Reinders noted that the County annually diverts 25% of the Road Fund for traffic enforcement.
He suggested that discussions should be held to see if this is a practice the County should continue
doing.

DISCUSSION of AGREEMENT re: Construction of Undie Road Emergency
Relocation Project; Interwest: Bids for Undie Road Emergency Relocation Project were duly advertised
and sealed bids were opened on July 11, 2016. The Board of County Commissioners awarded the
contract to the lowest responsive bidder Interwest Construction, Inc. on July 18, 2016. Construction is
scheduled to begin on August 1, 2016.
Commissioner Sullivan stated that originally he was against this project going out to bid, but he noted
that Interwest Construction submitted a responsive bid. Commissioner Sullivan moved to approve the
AGREEMENT re: Construction of Undie Road Emergency Relocation Project; County No. 180-2007-
0; Interwest Construction of Burlington. Madam Chair Kler seconded the motion and stated that she
respects Commissioner Sullivan who has worked through an issue that he has a difference of opinion on.
She added that he raised good questions. Commissioner Sullivan stated that he has been torn between
the emergency nature of the project and his desire to align partnerships on the project, before the project
starts. He still believes the County should continue to work on project partners.
Commissioner Sullivan explained that in the meantime, this project isn't a bad thing. It's not good
versus evil, it's spending funding now for work on Undie Road, which may strain the County to have to
say "no" to things that may have a higher priority in the future.
Madam Chair Kler called for a vote on the motion. Madam Chair Kler and Commissioner Sullivan voted
in favor of the motion. The motion carried.
DISCUSSION of AGREEMENT re: Easement Granted for Undie Road Emergency
Relocation Project, Washington State Department of Natural Resources: The proposed easement
agreement with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is necessary in order to
construct and provide long-term maintenance for the newly relocated portion of Undie Road, County
Road No. 150009. The proposed easement is for the realignment, construction, and maintenance of a
portion of the Undie Road, which provides public access to DNR lands, commercial timberlands and
private rural residential parcels. The present location of the road is threatened by slide activity and the
Bogachiel River encroachment. A permanent re-route has been identified that would use an existing
timber harvest spur road and include a small portion of new construction across the subject DNR parcel
connecting with the existing roadway.
Madam Chair Kler stated that she has walked through the proposed easement area with Public Works
Director/County Engineer Monte Reinders and noticed there has been quite a lot of illegal dumping. She
asked who would be responsible for clean up of the illegal dumping? County Administrator Philip
Morley believes that the initial cleanup would be the DNR's responsibility, but future illegal dumping
may be Jefferson County's responsibility. Commissioner Sullivan noted that increased traffic along the
road could deter illegal dumping. County Administrator Morley stated that DNR is retaining property
rights. He believes that would mean that if there is a problem, DNR would share the costs.

DISCUSSION re: Geographical Information System(GIS): Central Services
Geographical Information System (GIS) Coordinator Douglas Noltemeier and GIS Analyst/Mapper
Charlotte Stockard briefed the Board on a proposed amendment to an existing professional services
agreement which would extend the term and scope of the agreement to include modernizing public
facing GIS applications and upgrade to enterprise GIS. Assessor Jeff Chapman attended the meeting as
well.
Mr. Noltemeier explained that Central Services is seeking to migrate from a limited access departmental
GIS to an enterprise GIS. Currently, there are only a few behind -scenes licenses. He explained the
current system and how it is not an efficient way to access County data. A component of the current
system, JMAP an internet map server, is now obsolete and unsupported. When first implemented, the
County was running Internet Explorer 4. He explained that the County is now using Internet Explorer
11. County staff, businesses, realtors and citizens have all reported being frustrated with the current
program's performance and interface.
Mr. Noltemeier pointed out that by moving to an enterprise GIS, there are many benefits such as a
special hub for County data and having a mapping interface that would function on all platforms,
including cell phones. He also explained the ability to input wetland and other types of surveys into the
GIS. The Enterprise License Agreement will provide GIS software, user licenses and training to provide
the foundation for the County's enterprise GIS upgrade.
County Administrator Philip Morley reviewed with the Commissioners all one-time revenue requests for
2016. He explained that the County has the funds available to upgrade our GIS at this time.

HEARING re: Proposed Ordinance Repealing and Replci g Ordinance No. 08-0806-
12; Port Ludlow Drainage District Assessment System: Madam Chair Kler explained that the Port
Ludlow Drainage District was established under the authority of RCW 85.38. The District currently
levies an assessment to fund District activities that was authorized under Jefferson County Ordinance
08-0806-12. RCW 85.38 requires the Board hold a public hearing to review the District assessment
system every four years and approve an assessment system on or before September 1 st. The District has
requested that the Board make no revisions to the existing assessment system.
Public Works has prepared a draft ordinance that adopts the existing assessment system. It includes
Appendix 1, Assessment System Calculation Method that explains how the assessments on individual
parcels are calculated.
The District is an independent municipal corporation. The Board's responsibility under RCW 85.38 is
solely to review the assessment system to determine if it is fair to District property owners. The Board is
not responsible for setting the amount of the District's assessment or budget or for determining District
projects.
Renewing the District's assessment will enable the District to continue to provide drainage facilities in
Port Ludlow.
The District's assessments fund the District's activities. The County does not fund the District. The
County is authorized to charge the District for its costs incurred in reviewing and approving the
assessment system. The County Treasurer may also impose a fee for collecting assessments, not
exceeding one percent of the assessments. Adopting an assessment system for the District will not have
a negative fiscal impact on the County.
Madam Chair Kler invited members of the District to speak. Allen Uyeda stated that they are operating
effectively and propose no changes.
Madam Chair Kler opened the hearing for public testimony.
Katie Smith: Port Ludlow: She stated she has been a Port Ludlow resident for 35 years, pre -dating the
Drainage District and all its problems. She believes that the Drainage District is probably one of the
most valuable things that has happened to North Bay, Port Ludlow. It has alleviated a lot of problems.
The expenditure from the assessment is one of the best values that Port Ludlow has as long term
residents. The Commission over the past 14 years (2002 -current), has been very capable. They have had
engineers on their Board in the past to properly assess their consultant's role. Gray & Osborne, Inc. has
been a very excellent engineering firm to have help them with all their projects. She stated there has
been 17 major projects completed in Port Ludlow by the Commission since it started. Looking over the
past history, it is a valuable expenditure. Their annual assessment is so low. She stated that she spends
more on her cell phone per month than she does for the whole year for drainage. It is a very valuable
District to have. She is appreciative for all the work that has happened. There has been County
cooperation over the years and participation financially that has been very much appreciated, especially
on some of the major projects. There are long-term residents that really value the District and what it has
accomplished. There has been some discussion recently, that since the Drainage District's capital
projects are completed and they are entering a maintenance phase, that the Commission should be
Page 2
DRk, Commissioners Meeting Minutes of August 8, 2016 i
abandoned and be left to the County or Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) to take over jurisdiction. She
does not believe they will ever be done with capital projects due to new construction and new issues
arising. She stated that the District goes into the commercial area of Port Ludlow which the Ludlow
Maintenance Commission (LMC) cannot have jurisdiction over and there are outfalls on the beach. They
do not see that the District could ever be abandoned and handed over to another entity because so much
of their projects are in private property in the green belt of Port Ludlow. LMC could not take over
because there is commercial property that is outside their area. They hope it continues onward.
Allen Uyeda, Port Ludlow: He stated he is not a political person at all. One of the reasons he is on the
Board is that his past experience is in civil engineering, which is what this entails. Drainage is
something that very seldom affects only one person. The function of the Drainage Commission is that it
won't change the fact that there will always be disputes between people about who is responsible for
what. The one thing he has learned about the Commission is that with its existence, you have another
sounding board that you can talk to the different people and come to some type of agreement. For
instance, you can say we propose that you can do this, and if you don't want to do this, then the expense
will be yours. A lot of time they can come to some kind of an agreement with landowners as a
Commission. He believes that is a greater point of importance to continue the Commission.
Hearing no further comments, Madam Chair Kler closed the public testimony portion of the hearing.
The Commissioners discussed the testimony which reinforces that the system is working. Commissioner
Sullivan moved to approve ORDINANCE NO. 02-0808-16 re: Repealing and Replacing Ordinance No.
08-0806-12, finalizing the Port Ludlow Drainage District Assessment System. Madam Chair Kler
seconded the motion. The motion carried.
PRESENTA TION re: Resolution Authorizing Application for Grant Assistance from
the Salmon Recovery Funding Board for the Lower Big Quilcene Floodplain Acquisitions Project
(RCO 16-1480): Environmental Health is seeking Commissioner approval of a resolution authorizing
the submission of a funding application to the Recreation and Conservation Office's (RCO) Salmon
Recovery Funding Board (SRFB) to continue to support floodplain acquisitions in the lower mile of the
Big Quilcene river. The SRFB grant request is $202,926 with a total project cost of $238,737.
The project will enable Jefferson County to acquire, from willing sellers, additional residential and
vacant parcels located on the floodplain of the lower Big Quilcene River — up to the limit of available
funding. This project was ranked third of 21 proposals considered for 2016 SRFB and 2017-2019 Puget
Sound Acquisition and Restoration Fund (PSAR) through the Hood Canal Coordinating Council Lead
Entity process. It follows two other grants for this purpose (RCO 12-1384 and 15-1189). A final
decision on funding for RCO 16-1480 will be made by the SRFB later this year.
The creation of a restoration design for the river and estuary is now in progress with a stakeholder group
and consultants led by the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group (HCSEG) through a separate SRFB
grant (RCO 15-1204 with RCO 16-2127 pending). The purpose of the design is to reconnect the lower
river with its floodplain and distributory channels in order to support the recovery of Hood Canal
Summer Chum and other salmonids and to reduce the adverse impacts of flooding to the community.

Commissioners Meeting Minutes of August 8, 2016
)RAFT , i �
The proposed resolution is compatible with the County's Strategic Goal of seeking non -local sources of
revenue and the Hood Canal Coordinating Council (HCCC) Summer Chum Recovery Plan.
The proposed project will not utilize any funds from the County General Fund. The HCSEG is offering
to provide a matching contribution (15% - $35,811) to the SRFB funds (84% - $202,926) through a
pending application to the Washington State Department of Ecology's Floodplains by Design Program.
A final decision on that application is anticipated in the latter part of August 2016.
Environmental Health Specialist Tami Pokorny stated that the proposed resolution is a requirement of
the application process. If the grant is awarded, Environmental Health will seek approval of the actual
agreement. She explained that this grant compliments an existing grant from last year that is also being
utilized to work with Quilcene Floodplain landowners. They are currently in negotiations with several
landowners. Ms. Pokorny briefed the Board on the process and answered questions.
Commissioner Sullivan moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 33-16 re: Application for Grant
Assistance to the Recreation and Conservation Office, Salmon Recovery Funding Board, for the Lower
Big Quilcene Floodplain Acquisition Project — RCO 16-1480. Madam Chair Kler seconded the motion.
The motion carried.

UPDATE re: Washington State Department of Natural Resources 2nd Quarter County
Income Report. Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Regional Manager Mona
Griswold and State Lands Assistant Drew Rosanbalm briefed the Board on the 2nd Quarter County
Income report which he distributed.
Mr. Rosanbalm stated that second quarter income for Jefferson County is slighter higher than anticipated
bringing the end of year figure to around $1.6 million, which is up about $300,000 than anticipated. This
is due to sales currently under contract cutting faster than estimated. This lowers the forecasted amount
in 2017 to around $928,000.
Mr. Rosanbalm explained Sort Sales, which is something they are trying out in Jefferson County
because it has done well in Clallam County. Instead of marketers who broker out and sell the wood to
different mills or overseas, DNR becomes the marketer, essentially eliminating the middle man. They
sell sorts individually and hire a contractor that works directly for DNR. Per State legislation, DNR can
only sort sale up to 20% of state-wide volume as contract harvest. The ability to do these types of sales
sunsets in 2018.
Mr. Rosanbalm stated that utility companies are starting to use fiberglass poles, so they are noticing a
Page 2
K77Commissioners Special Meeting Minutes of August 29, 2016
significant decrease in the sale of utility pole logs. FT
Mr. Rosanbalm briefed the Board on current contracts, harvests and Tlie upcoming plans: 1) Marbled
Murrelet Long -Term Conservation Strategy Plan, Olympic Experimental State Forest (OESF) Plan and
Sustainable Harvest Plan which will greatly impact the region.
Mr. Rosanbalm stated his team is on track to provide Jefferson County with a 5 -year timber harvest
forecast by the end of the year.
