COMMISSIONERS BRIEFING SESSION. The Commissioners reported on their
meeting schedules.
DISCUSSION re: Salish Behavioral Health Organization; Kitsap and Clallam
Counties with Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe: Public Health Director Jean Baldwin was present to discuss
the proposed Salish Behavioral Health Organization.
Information provided by Public Health stated that in 2014, the Washington State Legislature passed
2SSB 6312, which mandated the creation of Behavioral Health Organizations to oversee the delivery of
Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder services in Washington State. The Commissioners of Kitsap,
Jefferson and Clallam counties have voted to become the Salish Behavioral Health Organization
(SBHO), which will be administered by Kitsap County. Creation of the SBHO will change funding for
Substance Use Disorder Services for the Medicaid population, from a Fee for Service system, in which
providers are paid a fixed amount for a given delivered service, to a Managed Care system, in which the
SBHO will receive a capitated payment for each Medicaid recipient within our boundaries. The SBHO
will be responsible for providing all "Medically Necessary" behavioral health (mental health and
substance use disorder) services to those individuals.
The proposed Interlocal Agreement (ILA) would establish the SBHO covering all of Kitsap, Clallam
and Jefferson Counties. The SBHO will plan, establish and operate a comprehensive behavioral health
Page 2

system pursuant to chapters 70.96A, 7a.24, 71.34, 71.05 RCW and 2SSB 6312 of the 2014 Legislative
Session and related regulations.
Director Baldwin stated that if establishing a BHO is not an option, Washington State will privatize
those services in counties not willing to create a BHO. County Administrator Philip Morley
recommended that the Commissioners adopt the proposed ILA, but urged a follow-up motion expressing
the confidence of the Board in Commissioner Kler to represent the Board of County Commissioners
(BOCC) for further update of the ILA in the upcoming year.
Commissioner Johnson moved to execute the agreement with Kitsap and Clallam Counties with
Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe for the Salish Behavioral Health Organization. Commissioner Kler
seconded the motion. Commissioner Johnson thanked Commissioner Kler for working on this issue.
Chairman Sullivan called for a vote on the motion. The carried by a unanimous vote.
HEARING re: Setting the 2016 Ad Valorem Tax Levies for Jefferson County Levy in
2015 and Collection in 2016: As required by State law (RCW 84.55.120) the Commissioners held a
public hearing on the 2016 Ad Valorem Tax Levies. Assessor Jeff Chapman was present for the hearing.
County Administrator Philip Morley explained that there are three proposed resolutions that would set
the levy rates in 2015 for tax collection in 2016. Each of those resolutions set the levy rate and identify,
in addition to that, an allowance for new construction, refunds, net cancellations and supplemental
assessments and state assessed property increases. Those items would be additive to the numbers in the
resolution. Each of the resolutions represent a 1 % increase in collections over the prior year. Since the
implicit price deflator was less than 1 % over the past year, State law requires that Commissioners adopt
a finding of substantial need in order to assess up to the 1 % threshold. As a result, there are three
companion resolutions that identify the reason for substantial need. He added that he sees this as an
opportunity to make up for lost ground because over the last several years, the rate of inflation has
exceeded 1%.
County Administrator Morley noted that one of the resolutions diverts a portion of the Road Levy Funds
into Traffic Law Enforcement for road safety, within the General Fund. That diversion rate is set at a
dollar amount of $720,000. He added that before the Board is also a summary letter to the Assessor
which categorizes these items and includes a breakout within the General Fund for a number of specific
callouts under State law for Veterans Relief, Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities that come
out of the General Fund Levy.
Chairman Sullivan opened the public hearing for testimony. Hearing no comments for or against Setting
the 2016 Ad Valorem Tax Levies for Jefferson County Levy in 2015 and Collection in 2016, he closed
the public hearing.

Commissioners present.
HEARING re: Proposed Ordinance to Establish Jefferson County Department of
Community Development Fee Schedule: County Administrator Philip Morley stated that the Board of
County Commissioners (BOCC) has previously been briefed on this issue.
Information submitted from the Department of Community Development (DCD) states that the proposed
fees are intended to recover costs associated with development review activity by the Building and
Development Review Divisions. The fee amendment is based on an updated hourly rate for staff time
spent on review activities. The hourly rate was derived by dividing the costs (including administration
and overhead) of the Building and Development Review Divisions by the billable hours of staff in these
Page 4
Commissioners Meeting Minutes of November 23, 2015
Divisions to recover those costs. The hourly rate proposed would be re-evaluated each year using a three
year average of the upcoming budget year and two prior year actuals.
There is no anticipated revenue based on updated fees and an increase to the hourly rate. A five year
projection shows that DCD is not able to sustain itself due to the loss of grant funding in 2016.
DCD Office Coordinator Jodi Adams stated that DCD's hourly rate has not increased since 2009. Their
largest expense is in salaries and benefits which are increasing faster than the CPI increase. She added
that the proposed new fees and hourly rate will bring DCD more in line with their current expenses.
Chairman Sullivan opened the hearing for public testimony.
Tom Thiersch, Jefferson County: He stated that he is confused by DCD's explanation. They first stated
that DCD "hasn't increased their hourly rate since 2009, even though the CPI has increased...," but then
a few seconds later it was stated "...that in order to keep up with CPI..." He believes those are two
conflicting statements. In a previous hearing, the CPI from last year was quoted as being almost zero.
Inflation for several years has been very low, yet enormous fee increases are being proposed for fairly
routine items. For example, it takes three hours plus inspection fees for a propane tank? It seems out of
all sensible reason to say that it takes that long to do a simple little propane tank. Around 10 years ago
when he got his propane tank installed, it was less than $100. How do we justify these kinds of
enormous increases? It seems out of bounds. Who audited these calculations for hourly fees for these
services? Who determined these items? Were actual timesheets used? What is the independent third
party verification of these costs? He doesn't know how these rates were derived. He wonders if the rates
were established by calculating the total amount of funds spent and dividing that by the number of staff.
He believes that citizens are owed a much more detailed calculation explanation and that the proposed
fees should be audited before these types of fee increases can and should be approved either now or in
the future. Thanks.
Robie Robichaux, Jefferson County: He stated that Clallam and Kitsap Counties were used as
comparison counties, but believes that Mason and Grays Harbor Counties should have been included.
He would like to know the revenue that DCD brings in. This is a proposed 9% increase followed by a
6% increase, and we received 6 weeks notice. It has been his objective in the past to get the permit in
process before the increase, it may not be much, but it is significant. Thank you.
Hearing no further comments, Chairman Sullivan closed the public hearing.
County Administrator Morley asked Ms. Adams to describe in detail the methodology used in coming
up with the hourly rate? He noted that while the figures have not been audited by the State Auditor in
advance, they are subject to auditing by the State. The State Auditor cannot advise as to exactly how to
do it, he knows that Ms. Adams has been in contact with that department to seek guidance on how other
jurisdictions came up with their figures and methodology.
Ms. Adams stated that the hourly rate was calculated by first taking the entire expenses from the
department, then, long-range planning, grants, pass-through funds that were not permit -related were
subtracted. Then the hours available for permit review for building and land -use staff were divided by
Page 5

expenses directly related to permits. She referred to timesheets to determine the number of hours and
explained that staff tracks their work by program codes so that grant and long-range planning hours were
separated from their permit -review time. Ms. Adams stated that she spoke to staff at the State Auditor's
Office who reviewed the methodology used to determine the hourly rate and fee increase. She noted that
a similar methodology was used in 2009 and it is the same methodology that Kitsap currently uses for
their fee structure. After speaking with the State Auditor, she felt confident that they were in agreement
with the process that Jefferson County used to come up with the rate. She received a revenue guide from
the State Auditor's Office that explains the methodology used to recover fees for permit review,
including direct and indirect costs related to permitting activities. Ms. Adams stated that they made sure
to use both building and land -use expenses in order to come up with a fair overall permitting hourly rate.
Ms. Adams noted that DCD has been working on this fee structure methodology for approximately one
to two years. During that time, they coordinated with other County departments such as Public Works
and Public Health as to their hourly rate fee methodology. County Administrator Morley added that
Budget Consultant Anne Sears reviewed the methodology and she felt that the fees were legitimate.
Ms. Adams addressed Mr. Thiersch's comment regarding propane tank installation. She explained that
the distance an inspector has to travel can vary greatly. When they developed the hourly rate, they
estimated for mid -distance travel, technical time for permit intake and time for entering the information
and then the issuance of certificate of occupancy. The Commissioners discussed travel time to the West
End of Jefferson County to see if there is a way to cut down on travel costs. County Administrator
Morley will follow up with DCD and Environmental Health to address those concerns.
Commissioner Johnson moved to approve ORDINANCE NO. 08-1123-15 adopting a Fee Schedule
Increase for the Department of Community Development. Commissioner Kler seconded the motion
which carried by a unanimous vote. Commissioner Kler noted a scrivener's error on Appendix A that
staff will correct.
HEARING re: Proposed Ordinance to Establish Sheriffs Civil Fees and Add a New
Chapter in the Jefferson County Code Entitled "Sheriffs Fees": Undersheriff Joe Nole explained that
Sheriff's Office Civil Service Fees have not been increased since 1992. Staff reviewed the Civil Service
fees of the following seven (7) comparable counties; Chelan, Clallam, Douglas, Island, Lewis, Mason
and Pacific Counties. Some counties had higher rates while other counties had lower rates so a median
rate was chosen. Undersheriff Nole noted that Mason County has not raised their fees since 1992 as
well.
In addition to the comparison to other counties' fees, the Sheriff's Office conducted a cost analysis. It
was determined that if the proposed fees were approved, the Sheriff's Office revenue would increase by
approximately $5,500.
Undersheriff Nole explained that per Washington RCW, the Sheriff's Office is responsible for making
the civil process happen. Legal documents that need notification service can be handled by individuals,
or they can request that the Sheriff's Office handle it. The Sheriff's Office has to then verify and keep
record of that service. The Sheriff's Office also conducts evictions, sales and bank -owned foreclosed

properties. Fees for services are typically paid up -front and refunds, if any, are disbursed when
everything is finalized.
Chairman Sullivan opened the hearing for public testimony.
Tom Thiersch, Jefferson County: He stated that he is not opposed to the fees in general, but wants to
make sure that they are not going to be in conflict or confused with the fees allowable under the
Washington State Public Records Act (PRA). The fees that can be charged for copies of public records
are regulated by that act and take precedence over any other. Item number 10 pertaining to "...making
copies of papers when copies are not furnished." "Copies of papers" does not tell him, with a sufficient
degree of specificity, what papers are being referred to. He believes that deserves clarification under this
ordinance. Actual costs are already encompassed by the PRA, so he is not sure if item number 18 is
redundant, necessary or confusing. Perhaps this needs to be amended to address those issues. If someone
gets sued in a civil action and they ask the Sheriff s Office to serve the papers, would that fall under
item number 8 or 11 of the proposed ordinance fee schedule? He stated he is not a lawyer so he is not
sure which term applies to which actions. Figuring out how much a lawsuit will cost could be confusing
to someone reading the County Code.
Hearing no further comments, Chairman Sullivan closed the public hearing.
Undersheriff Nole explained that there is no intent for the proposed ordinance to have any impact on the
PRA. There is no intent to charge more money for public records. County Administrator Philip Morley
added that RCW 36.18.040 establishes fees in the RCW that are set by the state, but specifically allows
for local jurisdictions to set higher fees. The language in the RCW is largely replicated in the proposed
ordinance. In 36.18.040 (1)(k) it reads specifically "for making copies of papers when sufficient copies
are not furnished. $1.00 for the first page and 50 cents for each additional page." The RCW also clarifies
fees for audio/visual requests. County Administrator Morley stated that the interpretation is clear, and
the proposed ordinance would not have an impact on the PRA. Undersheriff Nole stated that he spoke
with Chief Civil Deputy Kelli Greenspane and asked her about copies. She said that a lawyer could
bring in all the copies of the paperwork they needed to have served and not get charged a fee, but
sometimes, they would bring one page and ask the Civil Office to make all the copies.
Undersheriff Nole explained that item number 8 pertains specifically to a writ of execution, which is
evicting someone from a house. Item number 11 pertains to any other type of service someone would
request.
Commissioner Kler moved to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 09-1123-15 Establishing a New Chapter of the
Jefferson County Code Entitled "Sheriff s Fees." Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion which
carried by a unanimous vote.
The meeting was recessed at 11:24 a.m. and reconvened at 1:31 p.m. with all three
Commissioners present.

UPDATE re: Washington State Department of Natural Resources 3` Quarter County
Income Reports: Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Manager Sue Trettevik
and DNR State Lands Assistant Drew Rosanbalm were present to brief the Board on the 3`d quarter
County income report.
Mr. Rosanbalm stated that the end of year predictions are around $2.2 Million, which is a decrease of
$35,000 from the second quarter's projections. This is partly due to Penny Waterline slowing down
production. The remainder of Penny Waterline and Bangor Timber is sold. He noted that Bangor Timber
received three bids.
Every 3-4 years, DNR conducts a big sale on thinning wood available. Mr. Rosanbalm noted that wood
in Jefferson County is high quality. The trees grow slower due to the climate and creates a better quality
timber product. A detailed harvest report was reviewed and discussed by the Board.
Ms. Trettevik stated that due to some confusion in the past, they are now verifying tax code numbers
prior to a timber sale. Mr. Rosanbalm added that figures are also now reviewed by the Assessor.
BRIEFING re: Comment Letter on Draft Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) for
Terminal Expansions in Grays Harbor; Due by November 30, 2015: Environmental Health Specialist
Tami Pokorny and Jill Silver briefed the Board on a proposed letter regarding crude oil terminal
expansions in Grays Harbor.
Ms. Pokorny stated the issue of crude oil had been discussed at a recent Marine Resources Committee
(MRC) summit held in LaPush. She gave a power point presentation which depicted simulated photos of
the proposed expanded facilities.
The Washington State Department of Ecology is inviting comments on the draft EIS for two proposed
terminal expansion projects in the Port of Grays Harbor, Westway and Imperium, for crude -by -rail. The
projects have raised the concerns of the four coast MRCS due to the perceived increase of risks to natural
resources, human health and safety and impacts to the conduct of normal activities in Aberdeen,
Hoquiam and elsewhere within the extended study area.
Members of Pacific and Grays Harbor Counties MRCS are encouraging individual MRC member
agencies to submit comments by the November 30th deadline. Both the North Pacific Coast MRC and
the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) provided comments on EIS scoping for these projects in
May, 2014.
Currently, bulk liquids such as biofuel and methanol are handled through the Port of Grays Harbor.
These proposed projects, as well as a third that is anticipated, would create and improve existing
infrastructure for the transportation by rail, bulk tank storage and shipment by tank vessel of crude oil
from the Bakken formation and diluted bitumen from Alberta.
After the comment period ends, the City of Hoquiam, Washington State Department of Ecology and
other local and state agencies will use the final EISs in their permitting decisions or approval process.

Commissioners Meeting Minutes of November 23, 2015
Chairman Sullivan asked if the crude oil transportation was decreased in Grays Harbor, would it
increase somewhere else? Ms. Pokorny replied yes it would. Their strategy is to focus on one project at a
time. She anticipates more pressure for oil transportation coming through the Pacific Northwest. If all
the proposed terminals are approved, there will be roughly five times the volume of oil coming through
the Pacific Northwest. She added that if Tesoro's terminal is not approved and Grays Harbor's terminals
are, vessels would be received in Grays Harbor and travel up around Cape Flattery and down the canal
to be refined.
Commissioner Kler stated that an earthquake and tsunami can have a large negative impact on these
types of facilities that are based near an ocean.
If the terminal expansions are approved, the following are estimates of train and vessel trips per year:
Ms. Pokorny noted that vessels are also increasing in size and they will need to prevent grounding of
these larger vessels.
Commissioner Johnson stated that he has seen freight ships waiting to enter the Straits of Juan de Fuca.
Where do these ships go for back-up moorage? Is the closest Port Angeles? Chairman Sullivan noted
that Port Angeles is more sheltered.
Ms. Pokorny and Ms. Silver briefed the Board on the procedure in the event of an oil spill and stated that
due to our vast shoreline and rocks, if there is a spill, there would be no cleanup.
Commissioner Johnson asked if there has been any discussion on the economic loss as a result of
Washington being recognized as an oil transport state? Ms. Pokorny replied that she does not think they
are addressing the big picture view at this time. She added that several cities have passed resolutions
regarding rail transport. Ms. Silver noted that storms are getting worse along the coast.
Commissioner Johnson moved to send the letter to ICF International regarding Westway and Imperium
Terminal Services Expansion Projects EISs. Commissioner Kler seconded the motion which carried by a
unanimous vote.
The meeting was recessed at 2:50 p.m. and reconvened at 2:56 p.m. with all three
Commissioners present.
