COMMISSIONERS BRIEFING SESSION:
Commissioner Austin reported that he
attended the Substance Abuse Advisory Board
meeting last week and they are developing a
program for citizens to dispose of legal and
controlled prescription drugs that are no
longer needed. This will help with keeping
unneeded prescription drugs from getting into
the environment through septic and sewer
systems and it would allow parents to get rid
of their prescription drugs properly.
Commissioner Johnson said that he will be
attending the Port Townsend Paper ecology
biomass meeting at Fort Worden on Tuesday
night (6:30 p.m.); he also visited the Port
Townsend Preservation Technologies school
at Fort Worden; he attended the dedication of
the new sprinkler system at Memorial Field
which was the community effort of Rich Stapf,
the Rotary Club and many individuals in the
community.
Commissioner Sullivan attended the
dedication of the Park on Sims Way by the
Master Gardners which is another great
program of volunteers; He reminded
everyone that the Port Townsend Uptown
Street Fair is this Saturday. He added that the
RC&D was just audited and they came
through the audit well.
The Board members shared their
observations from the Jefferson County Fair
held last weekend and the impressive work of
the 4-H Clubs and many other volunteers that
make the Fair possible;
Philip Morley, County Administrator thanked
Joe D'Amico for providing a community
gathering over the weekend. He then noted
that 4-H and Master Gardeners happen under
the umbrella of WSU Cooperative Extension
and he met with Katherine Baril, Extension
