Proposed Revision to Sportsmen's Club Lease: Bob Ricketts told the Board that the 60 -day termination notice c ause in the new lease, which was not a part of the old lease, is not satisfactory to the Club because the improvements made by the Club could be in jeopardy.. -.improve- ments are made on the assumption that they will be used for the full term of the lease. The Board could not foresee that a termination would be instigated unless it became absolutely necessary for the County to use the property, in which case, action to terminate the lease could be started even if the termination clause is not in the lease. However, the Board agreed to discuss removing the clause from the lease with the Prosecuting Attorney. .Resume for Director of Public Works Position: Robert Leach submitted his resume, stating that he would like to e considered for the position when the current Director retires.

Aerial Application of Herbicides: Alice Lumbard reminded the Board of their agreement, when she me—F-w-i-EN them approximately one year ago, to begin reviewing Forest Practices Permit applications which involved herbicide spraying and to publish notice of any spraying in the legal notices in the newspaper. Ms. Lumbard asked to see any permit applications which had been reviewed, and noted that no notices had been published in the newspaper. It was reported that the Planning Department has not received any applications for review. Ms. Lumbard presented per- mits for Crown Z and Pope & Talbot to spray which she obtained from the Department of Natural Resources. The review period for these permits is past. Ms. Lumbard and others present requested that the Board appeal these per- mits, obtaining a stop -work -order at least until it can be determined what effects the proposed spraying might have on water sheds, etc. Com- missioner Brown explained that if the County caused a stop -work -order to be issued, then lost the appeal in the review process, the County could be liable for monetary damages for delaying the work. It was pointed out that the Forest Practices regulations stipulate an environmental review where spraying will involve spraying of a class 1, 2 or 3 water source, but no such protection is offered to class 4 water sources or to individual wells. Another regulation exempts spraying of less than 40 acres from the permit process. There was lengthy discussion regarding the effectiveness of spraying for vegetation control, the possible health effects of 2,4D, and the lack of funds to conduct thorough research regarding the effects on people of spraying. Commissioner Pitts asked those present to collect and present information regarding the effects of herbicides. Ms. Lumbard said information has been provided, and that their primary request at this time is for the Minutes, Week of April 18, 1983 Page 2 right to control what affects their property and families. Chairman O'Meara stated that the County cannot directly control spraying on private property.
