Highlights from Monday’s Commissioner Meeting August 8, 2006
GRANT FUNDING: The Courthouse is the
County’s only polling place since the adoption
of countywide vote-by-mail in 2005. A direct
recording electronic machine is set up at the
Courthouse 20 days before an election to allow
disabled voters to vote confidentially. The
Auditor’s Office and Central Services
collaborated to use a portion of the Election
Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities grant
funding for the ADA parking at the Courthouse.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following
comments were made: thank you to the Board
for directing that a Critical Areas Ordinance
(CAO) Sub-committee be formed to work on the
ordinance; concerns were expressed about the
RFP process for the new telephone system;
everyone needs to be vigilant and work together
to prevent forest fires during the dry season; the
Board needs to look at priorities during the
budget process and not spend money on
frivolous projects; thank you to the County for
moving forward on the next section of the Larry
Scott Trail; Hood Canal is healthy and the
County needs to see that it stays that way in the
future and a question about whether the CAO
Sub-committee members are residents of the
County?; State associations of elected officials
need to lobby to see that federal funds for local
governments are not reduced dramatically
along the way by administrative expenses; a
member of the CAO Sub-committee who isn’t a
resident offered to resign if the Board doesn’t
feel that it is appropriate for him to serve; and
the Board hasn’t done anything about a noise
ordinance and there is still too much noise
coming from the FHM Shine operation at night.
