Charles Ross re: Water District No. 1 Extension of the Compre- hensive Plan ot Water Supply tor Water District No. Charles Ross, Secretary for Water District #1 presented a .eso ution drawn by the Water District's attorney for the Board to adopt the conditions and betterments to the Water District's Comprehensive Plan. This resolution is needed in order for the District to proceed with their ULID #2, Mr. Ross explained. The ULID #2 would be an approximate $780 assessment per lot for 15 years. 60% of the lot owners have to vote to approve this assessment. Commissioner Brown advised Mr. Ross that t:ne State Department of Social and health Services has jurisdiction over water systems, and the Board would have to check into what is required and what their responsibilities are in this matter before they take any action. Representative Barney McClure re; Timber Excise Tax: Barney 111cClure, Representative trom the 24th Legislative District for the State, which includes Jefferson County, met with the Board regarding the Timber Excise Tax and other matters that are of concern to the County, whic'-t may come before the next session of the Legislature. The Timber Excise Tax is presently a 6.5 tax on the value of the timber when it is harvested and approxim tely $1.00 per acre each year on the land, in property taxes. The timber companies may lobby for a reduction in the 6.5% rate during the next legislative session. If this rate was lowered it would have to be determined by the legislature 'now the reduction would be applied to the State and/or the Counties. Commissioner Brown reported that at the Association of Counties meeting one proposal was mentioned that would Have the State take all of the loss, if a reduction was to occur. The consensus of the Counties was that they were not ready to back any proposal that would hurt the State. Commissioner Pitts voiced his concern that any reduction in the 6.51 Tii.ioer Excise Tax would be made up ultimately by the taxpayers of the State and/or County in the loss of services. He advised Representative i•IcClure that Jefferson County relies on that tax for 6% of the current expense budget, and any -reduction to t -:e County would hurt. Allen Carmen re; Request for easement across County property; Shine area: A request for a 60 toot easement across the North end o County property in Shine to provide access to 372 acres, was requested by Allen Carmen. The property needing access is being divided into seven five acre or larger tracts. The access originally proposed wasway for for the Teal Lake Road Short Plat. Title company information now shows that this right-of-way no longer exists. Other access possibilities are poor choices due to steep grades and sharp curves. Commissioner Brown informed Mr. Carmen that the County cannot legally give an easement across County property. The possibility of trading property of equal value was discussed, but that would require the approval of the Court. i �nut-es, Week of October October 17, 1983 Page 2: State Liquor Control Board application for Special Occasion License; The Harbormaster: Commissioner Pitts moved to approve the application tor the Harbormaster at Port Ludlow Special Occasion Liquor License, for November 12, 1983.
