Highlights from Monday’s Commissioner Meeting May 9, 2006
SURPLUS PROPERTY: There is a small
triangular piece of County property in the
City of Port Townsend off 22 Street andnd
Discovery Road. A citizen put a road
through the property to connect the streets.
Currently this isn’t a City street, however,
approximately 55% of the property could
eventually be claimed by the City as right-of-
way. The property was appraised in 2003 at
$12,000, declared surplus, and put up for
sale in 2004. It didn’t sell. In December,
2005, the County received a bid for $6,000
from an adjacent property owner. The
property owner has since replaced the
$6,000 bid with a $1,000 bid. On the
recommendation of the Treasurer and the
Civil Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, the Board
agreed not to accept the new bid and to
continue negotiations with the City regarding
a possible easement.
PROCLAMATION: A representative from the
Elk’s Club was present when the Chair read
the proclamation designating May 7 through
13, 2006 as Elk’s Youth Week.
LETTER OF SUPPORT: The Jefferson
County Historical Society is applying for a
grant from the Washington State Historical
Society Heritage Resource Center that
would provide funding to create lively
interactive exhibits using state-of-the-art
audio-visual and computer technology. The
Board signed a letter to the State in support
of the grant.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following
comments were made: The Board needs to
take immediate action this year to reduce
spending and not wait until the 2007 budget,
and in some recent cases the Growth
Management Hearings Boards have begun
to follow a trend set by public agencies
regarding endangered species regulation
and they have no authority to make a bright
line rule or to make public policy.
