Caryn Woodhouse re: Natural Resource Policy Issues: Natural Resource Policy
Analyst Caryn Woodhouse reported on the following:
· Several counties in the Hood Canal area have been meeting about pooling resources for GIS.
All of the data on streams in this area is being digitized.
· The North Olympic Peninsula Lead Entity group met last week. The group discussed the use of
State fish funding for replacing culverts. Several of the members didn't feel that these funds
should be used for culvert replacement projects. Jefferson County currently has 2 culvert
replacement projects on the list for this funding. This will be discussed further. Commissioner
Huntingford noted that if a culvert needs replacing the County may not have the funds to
replace it with a larger culvert which is usually required for fish passage.
· There was a proposal to include Clallam County in Hood Canal Coordinating Council planning.
Clallam County doesn't want to join the HCCC, but does want to work with them. Clallam
County also wants to begin meeting with Jefferson County to discuss regional fish issues.

The County has received a PIE Grant to do educational workshops on near shore habitat. The
work for this grant has been reviewed by the Department of Community Development and they
are recommending that the grant be returned because they don't have the resources to follow
through on it. Chairman Wojt asked if the Marine Resource Committee could do this work?
Caryn Woodhouse advised that this committee would be very interested, but she isn't sure if the
Puget Sound Action Team will allow this change in the grant. She will discuss this suggestion
with the Puget Sound Action Team.
David Goldsmith, Deputy County Administrator re: Housing Authority Board Request
for Line of Credit: David Goldsmith reported that he and Treasurer, Judi Morris, have been reviewing
the financial stability of the Housing Authority. The program that the line of credit would be used for
is similar to a guaranteed revenue bond with little risk to the County. More information is needed
about the structure of the Housing Authority budget. When all of the information is gathered, the
County would be able to provide a line of credit. The necessary paperwork for a $25,000 line of credit
will be on the Board's agenda in the future.

of the marine park in Lower Port Hadlock (Chimacum Creek)?; and a request that an area in Quilcene

He attended the Port Ludlow Village Council (PLVC) meeting last week along with

Commissioner Huntingford moved to extend the contract with Lumsden International, Inc.
to review the Port Ludlow Development Agreement. Commissioner Harpole seconded the
motion. He asked for more definition of the expectation of what is to be done. The Chair
called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. The current draft
of the Development Agreement is being reviewed and should be ready for public release in the

discussions on these issues since they represent all the property owners in the area.

on Economic Development which identified 9 areas of concern. He suggested that this work be
incorporated by the Board in any changes to the Economic Development element of the

2 amendments are being recommended for rejection, and 2 are being recommended for

committee to the Board, to reconsider their docket recommendation and change it to accept or
reject their reasoning and findings for that action.

PUBLIC WORKS
Director's' Update: Public Works Director Gary Rowe reported:
There were several facilities improvement projects put on hold in the 2000 budget. He
recommends that the funds received fi.om the sale of the Multi-Services Building be put in the
Facilities Fund. Since the funds in the Facilities Fund haven't been budgeted, a prioritization
process will have to be completed and the budget set.
The property for the Chimacum Creek Park project is currently being appraised. The IAC sent
an e-mail to Joe Breskin congratulating him on getting a National Coastal Grant for this project,
but the County hasn't received any information about this grant.
All the roads in the West End are open. Undie Road is open to vehicular traffic, but the road
can't accommodate heavy equipment being brought in for work in the forest.
Department staff met with the people involved with the Port Ludlow Drainage District petition
and they have asked that the required public hearing be delayed to allow time for issues to be
resolved.
