MINUTES Week of February 6, 2017 Madam Chair Kathleen Kler called the meeting to order at the appointed time in the presence of Commissioner David Sullivan and Commissioner Kate Dean. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following is a summary of comments made by individuals in attendance at the meeting and reflect their personal opinions: • 15 individuals, including 3 Elected Officials, spoke in favor of a Jefferson County Human Rights Proclamation and gave examples of why they are in support of the proclamation. Many individuals urged the Commissioners to take further action on the issue; • A citizen commented on a proposed bill which highlights immigrants and their effect on Washington's economy; • An individual stated: 1) He has been a political activist since the 1960's; 2) He blames the Democratic Party for Donald Trump winning the election and gave reasons to support his claim; • An individual commented on House Bill 1047 regarding the implementation of a Drug Take -Back program financed by pharmaceutical companies; and • The Chief Criminal Sheriff's Deputy was asked by the Chair to speak about the Sheriff's Office policy on immigration. He stated that their policy is public information and has been given to the media to publish. He stated that the policy is consistent with the proposed proclamation and the Sheriff's duty is to keep everyone safe. PROCLAMATION re: HUMAN RIGHTS: County Administrator Philip Morley noted that the Commissioners worked hard on a proposed Human Rights Proclamation. Commissioner Dean thanked everyone for coming and caring about our rights and the rights of all of our neighbors. She stated that she has worked hard with many individuals on drafting the proclamation who have been engaged with her since the November election. She applauded everyone for their positive encouragement and asked them to keep it coming. She read the proclamation, and stated she would like to speak for herself, not for the County per se or for the other Elected Officials in attendance. She noted that while these are unsettling times for many of us, they are downright scary times for our vulnerable residents. The proclamation is only a first step; it is a commitment to ongoing vigilance to threats and incidents of discrimination and bigotry. She hears the public's call for action and stated she is committed to the next steps. She added that the County will be working on planning those next steps with legal counsel, the City of Port Townsend and community groups. She noted that the landscape is shifting every day which makes it quite challenging to know how to respond. Page 1 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of February 6, 2017 T F, Commissioner Dean stated that she acknowledges the deep political divide that exists today in our communities and throughout the county right now. She explained that her intention is that the proclamation will serve to communicate our shared values, and not create a further chasm of left/right, Democrat/Republican, or South County/North County. She added that their duty as Elected Officials is to protect the rights and safety of all with dignity and equality. Commissioner Dean acknowledged that Prosecuting Attorney Michael Haas sent his regrets on being unable to attend the meeting today. She noted that he has been actively engaged in this process. She added that the judges are unable to sign the proclamation, but pending the approval of the proclamation, all the other Elected Officials of Jefferson County are dedicated to signing it. Commissioner Sullivan stated that he appreciates the call for the next steps, and hopes that the public recognizes this is not the first time the County has addressed these issues. He added that there are steps already in place. He noted that in his previous career as a registered nurse, he would talk to many new staff members who were going through a period of uncertainty. His advice to them was to listen, speak and breathe and that those things will get you through until you can figure it out. He stated that during this time of uncertainty, it is important to listen to each other, talk and figure out what is best for the community. Madam Chair Kler stated that she is fortunate and grateful to be working with her fellow Commissioners. She noted that the first draft they worked from was from a proclamation done by Kittitas County. She stated that concern is being recognized across partisan lines and added that it is not a partisan issue, it is a human respect, human rights issue. She stated that she is from District No. 3 where there are not a lot of vocal activists, which needs to be recognized. She noted that many of her constituents are the hurting people, working poor who no longer have jobs that their families have had for generations, where the drug use is affecting them significantly, and where 80% of children in the Brinnon and Quilcene School Districts are receiving lunches provided by the community. She added there are hurting people within our County and reminded people to be gentle to each other. Commissioner Dean read the proclamation aloud which states that Jefferson County is committed to protecting the inalienable human rights, dignity and equality of all individuals, regardless of age, race, national origin, immigration and citizenship status, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, religion, creed, or mental or physical disability. She moved to adopt the proclamation. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

He added that the most important thing the County can do right now is to secure the land.

Page 1 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of February 13, 2017 DISCUSSION re: To Defer Site -Specific Comprehensive Plan Amendments During the 2017-2018 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review: On December 19, 2016, during the Regular Agenda session of the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), The Department of Community Development (DCD) staff provided the Board with a Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code Periodic Review project update. During this briefing an 18 -month work plan was proposed which the BOCC supported. DCD is requesting that the Board consider and take formal action on a proposed resolution that will establish the schedules for the Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review and the subsequent Comprehensive Plan Annual Amendment cycle. The proposed resolution serves to establish an 18 -month work plan during the Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review and to suspend formal site specific Comprehensive Plan amendment proposals during this timeframe; and, to resume the annual amendment cycle in 2019 pursuant to Chapter 18.45 Jefferson County Code. The 18 -month work plan is a one-time modification to the County's annual amendment cycle so that the state -mandated periodic review of the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations of the Unified Development Code (UDC) Jefferson County Code Title 18 can be successfully completed and adopted on or by the statutory deadline of June 30, 2018. Adoption of this resolution provides for the County to focus limited time and staff resources on the state -mandated periodic update. Jefferson County is required to review and revise if necessary the Comprehensive Plan and implementing development regulations by June 30, 2018. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.040, only those counties complying with deadlines required under RCW 36.70A.130 shall be considered meeting the requirements of planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA) under the terms of RCW 36.70A.040(1). Only those counties and cities that meet the deadlines established in the Washington GMA may receive grants, loans, pledges or financial guarantees from certain state programs affecting transportation, economic development and environmental protection. DCD Director Patty Charnas introduced DCD staff present for the meeting which included Planning Manager David Greetham and Associate Planner and Lead for the Comprehensive Plan Update Joel Peterson. Director Charnas stated that before the Board is a proposed resolution concerning the Comprehensive Plan Update Work Plan. She explained that the Comprehensive Plan serves as a broad policy document that guides County decisions and services over a variety of topics which include land use, transportation, housing and economic development. The Washington GMA requires that cities and counties who plan under the GMA, to periodically update their Comprehensive Plans and their implementing regulations that carry out the plan every eight years. Director Charnas stated that by approving the proposed resolution and suspending the annual cycle, the cycle will commence again in 2019. Commissioner Dean asked what is the time lapse between the last time there was an opportunity to request an amendment in the annual review and the next one? Mr. Peterson stated that the deadline is March Pt of each year, and there has been no proposals submitted since 2013. Commissioner Sullivan noted that there used to be a time that there would be site-specific amendments every year, but some years there were none at all. Commissioner Dean asked if there were any known amendments coming? Director Charnas said there have been no requests submitted. Page 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of February 13, 2017 County Administrator Philip Morley stated that the County's zoning is adopted through the future land - use map in our Comprehensive Plan, so any zoning change would require a Comprehensive Plan change, which would be caught by this moratorium. At this present time, if something urgent came to the Board's attention, it could potentially be wrapped in with the process, as the door to making amendments to the Comprehensive Plan is open right now. He explained that the further in the year we go, and the further along DCD's work is, the more that door starts closing. In 2018, the County will be holding public hearings and adoption cycle of the final draft, and it will be too late to add something at that point. In 2019, DCD will be reviewing for the next docket cycle. Planning Manager Greetham noted that when he was in Kitsap County, they accepted an application cycle during their recent update. He stated that it got difficult since they were reviewing those applications against the current plan in effect that day, even though there was a new plan right around the corner. He added that by allowing a pause, it lets all new applications be measured against the plan we are working to update as opposed to balancing two different plans. Commissioner Dean voiced her concern that the proposed resolution would hinder any potential affordable housing opportunities until 2019. Since there is a potential that Jefferson County may be declaring a housing crisis, she would like to see the door be left open so the County has the ability to respond to exceptional community needs and opportunities that may arise. Director Charms stated they can take a focused look on the applicable goals and policies in the various elements they are updating. Madam Chair Kler noted that the proposed resolution states that it "serves to suspend," and she takes this to mean that suspension will occur at the time the resolution is passed. County Administrator Morley clarified that in terms of the formal docket process, that is suspended, but in the Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update, there is an opportunity to weave in any site-specific issues that gain traction. He noted that March 2017 is the deadline for applications, even if the suspension wasn't done today. He added that unless someone is hurrying right now to get something in, they have pretty much missed their chance this year. Commissioner Sullivan stated there has been a lot of public outreach on this topic and it has been awhile since anyone has come forward. Commissioner Dean stated she would like to leave the door open to someone who may come forward with an idea, plan and financing for a project. She added that the County should remain in a position to respond to these types of potential opportunities. County Administrator Morley stated that Commissioner Dean's concerns for wanting to be responsive to community needs is heard and appreciated. Commissioner Sullivan moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 06-17 Establishing a Work Plan for the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review and to Defer the Public Annual Docket and to Resume Annual Amendment Cycle in 2019. Madam Chair Kler seconded the motion. Commissioner Dean abstained. The motion carried. The meeting was recessed at 10:20 a.m. and reconvened at 10:36 a.m. with all three Commissioners present.

HCSEG member Tamara Cowles stated that they sent out a community survey to about 300 landowners and received about a 50% response rate. They explained to the Board the comments and concerns received from their survey. BRIEFING re: Port Hadlock Wastewater System: The Irondale and Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area (UGA) is an unincorporated UGA designated in the County's Comprehensive Plan. Under Washington State's Growth Management Act (GMA), urban growth areas are required to have "fundamental urban services," including public sewers. The area is currently served by private septic systems. Without a public sewer system, development in the area is limited by its current "transitional rural zoning." Future urban zoning has been approved for the UGA, but cannot be put into effect until a wastewater collection and treatment system is constructed. Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of February 13, 2017 The County has completed final plans and specifications for the wastewater treatment plant, influent pipeline, and effluent reuse/infiltration area, and acquired the land for those facilities. Design of the gravity collection system that will be under the roads in the UGA has been completed to the 10% level. Construction of the Port Hadlock Wastewater System (PHWS) cannot begin until funding that is both affordable and sustainable is acquired. Jefferson County continues to seek funding for the sewer system. Public Works Director/County Engineer Monte Reinders briefed the Board on the status of the PHWS project and answered questions.
