How much government can the City and County afford with no underlying economy?;what the City does is germane to the County's business; we're looking at the worst financial disruption since the 1930's and the County is in the worst position to deal with it; this County needs jobs; employees that work for businesses in the County have to live in adjacent counties because they can't afford to live here; Jefferson County needs to reach out to small business owners so they are not afraid; the County needs to require business licenses so that we can tell what is going on here; The Planning Commission Chair and the Director of DCD have stated that they aren't going to consider the Swinomish Decision until a later time; because they haven’t been to the State training, the Planning Commission members are not competent to understand what they need to do; some advisory committees do not provide minutes of their meetings and the public has no way of knowing what they are doing; a request was made that all appointed committees keep minutes of their meetings and post them on the website; the Open Meetings Act requires that any committee that works for the County is subject to the Act which means their regular meetings must be set; and the occupancy of the Superior Courtroom was upgraded from 90 to 173 last Monday; we have people coming into the County only to make money on real estate and a thank you was given to the Board and the PUD for the water system in Quilcene.
