MOMENT OF SILENCE: The Board held a moment of silence
in honor of past Superior Court Judge Crad Verser who
passed away over the weekend. Chairman Austin opened the
floor so the public could say a few words about the late
Judge Verser if they wished.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following is a summary of
comments made by citizens in attendance at the meeting
and reflect their personal opinions:
• A citizen of Shine Road stated there is a commercial
geoduck operation going on there and 26,000 PVC pipes
are sticking out of the sand. He would like to see a
moratorium until it is determined if this is okay;
• A citizen questioned why no permit is required to raise
geoduck and the County should put a hold on harvesting
until the Shoreline Master Plan (SMP) is finalized;
• Two residents of Termination Point are concerned about a
developer clearing property near their property after stop
work permits were issued and wants to know what the
County will do about their situation;
• A citizen stated the County needs to step in and play
hardball with the developer who is clearing land at
Termination Point after a stop work order was issued; and
• An elected official wants to clear up a comment made
during a past meeting from a citizen who wants County
funds insured by the FDIC. The official stated the County
protection goes well above FDIC protection and is
guaranteed at 100%, FDIC only insures up to $250,000.
