Highlights from Tuesday’s Commissioner Meeting May 28, 2008
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following
comments were made by citizens: The Ferry
System’s RSVP program is working and the
State Department of Transportation has an on-
line survey for residents to vote for their
preferred mitigation option when the Hood
Canal Bridge is closed in 2009; a third option
would be considered by DOT which is a ferry
from Port Townsend to Edmonds which will be
essential this year with gas prices so high and
residents should point out that the proposed
mitigation is insufficient and that the impact on
local business will be extremely severe; what
has the County done to predict what will
happen to County services as the price of gas
keeps going up?; why did the Board delete
from the Consent Agenda the appointment of a
former commissioner to the Board of
Equalization?; The removal of the appellant
Hearing Examiner is necessary because it is an
unnecessary redundancy and the people of
Port Ludlow want assurance that the Iron
Mountain Quarry operation will not effect the life
style in Port Ludlow; there is a helicopter
landing zone at Gardiner that has been used in
the past for transporting patients and may be
used by Airlift Northwest when the bridge is
down; instead of carrying a big stick the Board
needs to educate the public; getting people to
stay home to use local businesses is good for
the County’s economy; and the DOE has in-
stream flow rules because Puget Sound water
needs to be cleaned up and returned to the
upper parts of the watersheds to support
farming.
CONSENT AGENDA: The Board approved all
the items on the Consent Agenda as
presented.
