COUNTY DEPARTMENT BRIEFINGS/BUSINESS
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Director's Update: Director of Community Development A1 Scalf reported:
The Department has been reviewing the permit process and how it can be streamlined and made
more efficient. They have also been meeting with other County Departments to review how parcels
are segregated when property is sold. A process will be developed for the Departments to handle
these transactions.
A public hearing on extending the EICO is scheduled for March 6 at 2 p.m.
There is a vacancy on the Planning Commission in District 2. The advertisement will run another
week. One application was received last week.
The Department will be interviewing 4 or 5 candidates for an Associate Planner position this week.
The Board asked that the possibility of accepting Comprehensive Plan amendment applications this
year be discussed further.
Chairman Harpole asked when the findings of fact for the Comprehensive Plan Amendments will
be coming forward to the Board for final adoption? A1 Scalf answered possibly as early as next

week. Commissioner Harpole reiterated that there were several motions made by the Board for
more work to be done by staff. He asked that these items be reviewed at the same time that the
resolutions on the Comprehensive Plan Amendments are finalized.
Review Request for Proposals (RFP) re: Development Regulations Implementing the
Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan: A1 Scalfasked that the Board review and approve the request for
proposals. Commissioner Harpole stated that he would like to have wording added to the RFP to say that
the County Administrator will be on the selection team. Commissioner Huntingford asked how this work
will be included with all the work the Department is expected to get done, especially since the State's
Shoreline Regulations aren't completed yet. A1 Scalfreported that the Department will be working within
the framework of the Comprehensive Plan to address all the Shoreline issues and move forward with
development regulations.
Commissioner Harpole moved to direct the Department to change Page 8 as suggested and that the RFP be
prepared for final approval on next week's Consent Agenda. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the
motion. Commissioner Huntingford asked if there is funding in the 2000 budget for this? A1 Scalf
reported that there is $13,000 in the budget that could be used for this work, but if the RFP comes in
higher, the Board will be asked to make an appropriation to cover it. Commissioner Huntingford stated
that if this RFP comes in significantly higher, the Board will have to look at how this project fits in with
the other projects for funding. The Chair called for a vote on the motion. The motion carded by a
unanimous vote.
PUBLIC WORKS
Director's Update: Public Works Director Gary Rowe and staff reported:
Nik Worden reported regarding the proposed Chimacum Creek property acquisition, that he has
found some additional funding sources for cleaning up sites that are contaminated. A clean up plan
must be developed. These grants require a 50% match. The IAC is one funding source and the
Department of Ecology has a designated fund for this type of work on the Olympic Peninsula. He
will be meeting with a representative of the DOE tomorrow regarding this project. Gary Rowe
added that one issue on the Chimacum Creek site is that the clean up needs to be done, or a clean
up plan must be in place, before the County can enter into any negotiations to purchase the
property.
The issue of vehicles "for sale" being parked on County property in Port Hadlock was reviewed
with the Prosecuting Attorney. He advised that the County can post the property, like any other
property owner. Parking on the site can only be restricted to what is allowed by the Washington
State Administrative Code (WAC.) Commissioner Huntingford noted that his concern is with the
vehicles for sale at the site for a long period of time. Gary Rowe advised that the Department will
have to police the sites once signs are installed. He will write a memo for the Board to review
defining the criteria for the signs to be placed on the sites.

Recreation Advisory Committee.
Commissioner Huntingford asked about recycling at the former drop box site in Port Hadlock? Gary
Rowe advised that recycling at this site should be in operation by next week.

Nursing Jean Baldwin reported:
· The Jefferson County Recovery Center (JCRC) certification was issued this month by the State.

and the next Substance Abuse Advisory Board meeting. The public hearing on this program will be
at the Health Board meeting.

reconvened the meeting on Tuesday. All three Board members were present for a workshop on permitting
recreational mooring buoys in Mystery Bay.
