Home My WebLink About03-29-11Board’s Official Business Highlights from Monday’s Commissioner Meeting March 29, 2011 PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made by citizens in attendance at the meeting and reflect their personal opinions: •A neighbor of the Sportsmen's Club shooting range asked that the Board deny the Sportsmen's Club request to expand their site due to lead contamination polluting the water and the possibility of increased noise; •A man stated that the Sportsmen’s Club has been told by the EPA that there is no lead contamination of water from the shooting range. There is noise from other shooting that goes on in the Hidden Trails Gravel Pit which is blamed on the Sportsmen’s Club; •The expansion of the Sportsmen's Club facility has been delayed because of complaints made by one citizen. There has been a barrage of innuendo about lead in the water caused by the shooting range that has not been proven and the person making the complaints should provide water samples from his well if he is concerned. •The management of the Sportsmen's Club has taken soil samples and no lead contamination has been found; •The Brinnon Chamber of Commerce and other community groups have been asking the County to issue an RFP for the operation of the Brinnon Motel; •Lead is virtually chemically inert and will not cause a problem. •The County needs to license businesses so that people that move in know what is located in the area before they move. There needs to be areas in the County designated for citizens to shoot guns; •There is an agreement for an outside person to take minutes for the Board of Health and the County should go out and try to get a better price even though the bid process is not required. Why can't an existing staff person do the minutes for the Board of Health? In December of 2009 the County Administrator developed a new policy for the handling of the correspondence that was included in the public meeting packet and all letters sent to the JEFFBOCC e-mail address were to be included. There are letters of interest for people seeking to serve on Advisory Boards and these letters are not included which is wrong.
