County Administrator Morley noted that the Coroner's fund exceeded its autopsy budget in 2016 and
there were a number of autopsies not paid in 2016 that were paid in 2017. Within the Treasurer's Office
fund, the additional $17,295 will help cover an overlap for a retiring staff member to train her
replacement and allow for the hiring of a clerk hire to give the office additional capacity.
In Other Funds, County Administrator Morley explained that the $95,000 supplemental budget
appropriations for the Quilcene Flood Control Fund is for land acquisition projects in the Quilcene
Floodplain that were budgeted in 2016, but did not take place at that time. The Public Infrastructure
Fund (PIF) is funded by a portion of sales tax remitted by the State to economically distressed counties
like Jefferson County. County Administrator Morley stated that sales tax revenue is coming in higher
than budgeted. Under Jefferson County Code, 50% of PIF funds that are collected are dedicated to the

DISCUSSION re: Settlement Agreement, Case No. 12-2-01065-2; Michael Belenski:
County Administrator Philip Morley stated that a Settlement Agreement has been prepared between
Michael Belenski and Jefferson County regarding a 2012 lawsuit regarding Mr. Belenski's Public
Records Request (PRR) for Internet Access Logs (IAL).
On September 27, 2010 and November 2, 2011, Mr. Belenski made requests under Washington's State's
Public Records Act for copies of all of the County's internet access logs for the dates of February 1,
2010 — September 27, 2010 and January 1, 2011 — November 2, 2011, totaling approximately 300
Million IAL entries.
The IALs were computer-generated information about each contact between the County computer
system and the internet, including the addresses and dates of visits to and information sent from, internal
and external sites contacted by each County computer's browser. The information in the IALs was
automatically recorded by the County's computer system firewall program to allow analysis in the event
of an electronic security threat, but otherwise was not used by the County. Approximately 120,000 IALs
coming and going are recorded by the firewall per work day.
The County believed the IALs which were passively collected by the County's firewall, did not
constitute public records under the definition of the State's Public Records Act (PRA), and informed Mr.
Belenski that the County had "no responsive records."
Mr. Belenski filed a lawsuit in Clallam County Superior Court. The case was heard by Judge George L.
Wood, and on May 15, 2013, Judge Wood ruled in the County's favor that the IALs were not public
records under the State's PRA.
Mr. Belenski appealed Judge Wood's ruling to Division One of the Washington Court of Appeals. On
May 19, 2015, a panel of three appellate judges reversed Judge Wood's ruling and found that the IALs
were public records under the PRA, and therefore the County had an obligation to disclose them. In its
ruling, the appeals court also found that Mr. Belenski's lawsuit on his first request should be dismissed
because it was filed after the one-year statute of limitations for filing a case in court.
Upon the Court of Appeals decision, the County promptly provided Mr. Belenski copies of all requested
IALs it had that were responsive to Mr. Belenski's two requests, but with legal redactions allowed under
State law so as not to reveal the internal security structure of the County's computer network. Shortly
Page 2
Commissioners Meeting Minutes of April 24, 2017
DRAFT
after, the County turned off the firewall feature that records the IALs, since they were not being used by
the County.
Mr. Belenski appealed the statute of limitations ruling to the Washington State Supreme Court. On
September 1, 2016, the State Supreme Court ruled that the one-year statute of limitations applies to the
PRA under all circumstances. The Supreme Court remanded the case back to Clallam County Superior
Court, for the court to decide if any penalties should apply to either records request, and also to
determine when the clock for the one-year statute of limitations should have started on the first request.
County Administrator Morley noted that Clallam County Superior Court Judge Wood has since retired
and that under the PRA, a judge may assess a penalty for requested records that are not timely produced
by a public agency. The penalty can be from $0-$100 per record, per day. Given the risks of litigation
and the costs of proceeding to trial in this case, and because the court had clarified important legal
principles governing the definition of a "public record" and the statute of limitations, the parties began
negotiating to establish a basis for moving forward in an open and transparent way.
County Administrator Morley explained that after Mr. Belenski and Jefferson County entered into
negotiations, Prosecutor Michael Haas, Chief Civil Deputy Prosecutor Phil Hunsucker and outside legal
counsel Attorney Jeff Meyers joined in negotiations. Mr. Thiersch assisted Mr. Belenski during
negotiations. County Administrator Morley noted that after three rounds of negotiations, both parties
have reached a proposal for a tentative settlement agreement with the following components:
1) Collection of IALs. Within 21 days of the execution of the agreement by all the parties, the
County agrees to reinstate settings on its computers to retain collection of Internet Access Logs
(IALs). The parties agree that such IALs are subject to redaction under the Public Records Act,
including but not limited to the security exemption under RCW 42.56.420 and that the County
may redact the IALs in order to protect such information, the release of which may increase risk
to the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of agency security, information technology
infrastructure, or assets. The County shall promptly make the redacted IALs available to the
public via the County website at the end of each month, or more frequently, or other period as
may be agreed by the parties. The County shall retain the IALs and the redacted IALs for a
period of not less than one year.
2) Public Records Administrator. The County agrees to create a position within County government
for a full time Public Records Aadministrator, whose duties shall include oversight of the public
records management and disclosure. This position shall be supervised by the County's
designated Public Records Officer and County Administrator. This position shall be promptly
filled by the County not later than August 31, 2017.
3) Consideration. The Parties agree as follows:
3.1. Within 10 days of execution of this agreement, the County shall pay One Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) to Mr. Belenski in full settlement of all claims in
this matter, which amount includes Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) as costs for expert
witness services of Thomas Thiersch.
Page 3
Commissioners Meeting Minutes of April 24, 2017
3.2 Upon Mr. Belenski's receipt of full and final payr4Wf th�;All CakelAent amounts set
forth in paragraph 3.1 above and fully executed copies of the agreement are exchanged
between the parties, the parties shall promptly sign and cause to be entered a Stipulated
Order of Dismissal of all claims in this lawsuit with prejudice and without costs or fees.
County Administrator Morley stated he is sobered by the cost to the public, but it can be seen as an
opportunity to make improvements. He added that no one likes lawsuits, but at the end of the day, both
parties came to an agreement and the County is well served by that. Commissioner Sullivan and
Commissioner Dean thanked everyone for their time spent on the Settlement Agreement.
Commissioner Sullivan moved to approve the Settlement Agreement between Michael. Belenski and
Jefferson County, Clallam Case No. 12-2-01065-2. Commissioner Dean seconded the motion. The
motion carried.
The meeting was recessed at 10:10 a.m. and reconvened at 10:15 a.m. with
Commissioner Sullivan and Commissioner Dean present.

Chief Civil DPA Hunsucker gave a presentation on the permitting process that geoduck farner BDN,
LLC has gone through since its initial application to the County and Army Corps in 2013. He explained
that in 2014, the County initially told BDN, LLC that a SMP permit was required for new geoduck
aquaculture. That same year, the County reversed its position to require a permit after BDN claimed that
Washington's "vested rights doctrine" applied, which he explained. Chief Civil DPA Hunsucker briefed
the Board on recent court cases and legislation which led the County to inform BDN, LLC on April 21,
2017 that a SMP Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for new geoduck operations or
impermissibly increased geoduck operations, even though BDN, LLC submitted applications to the
County in 2013.

UPDATE re: Critical Areas Ordinance: Jefferson County Department of Community
Development (DCD) is in the process of updating the County Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO), as
required by the Growth Management Act (GMA). The CAO was last updated in 2008, with minor
revisions made by the department in 2009 to address the Western Washington Growth Management
Hearings Board Final Decision and Order.
The CAO update must be completed by June 2018 and shall include the Best Available Science (BAS),
as required under RCW 36.70A.172. Also, RCW 36.70A.710 requires the County to review and, if
necessary, revise development regulations to protect critical areas as they apply to agricultural activities.
DCD has conducted some outreach activities to get input from County residents. BAS documents have
been prepared for the County in support of the update and DCD has collected additional BAS
documents. The department has begun drafting revisions to the CAO and is in the process of providing
an overview to the Planning Commission.
DCD Director Patty Charnas, Planning Manager David Greetham and Lead Associate Planner Donna
Frostholm briefed the Board on their progress updating the CAO.
LETTER re: National Estuary Program: Commissioner Dean stated she received a draft
letter from Puget Sound Partnership that highlights the importance of sustained federal support for Puget
Sound programs. The letter aims to make Congress aware of the economic, cultural, social and
ecological damage that could occur if the President's proposed federal budget cuts are implemented.
Commissioner Sullivan moved to send a letter drafted by Puget Sound Partnership to members of

UPDATE re: Washington State Department of Natural Resources 11t Quarter County
Income Report: Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Regional Manager Mona
Griswold, DNR Outreach Specialist Lisa Anderson, and DNR State Lands Assistant Drew Rosanbalm
were present to brief the Board on DNR's 1St Quarter County Income Report. Also present was Jefferson
County Assessor's Office Chief Deputy Sherrie Shold.
Mr. Rosanbalm stated there was not much to report for the Pt Quarter as there has been no income.
Under contract for 2017 is $913,000. He added that the Bangor harvest should start anytime and
Jefferson County can anticipate revenue in the 2nd Quarter. All work for the Bangor harvest needs to be
completed by October 2017. Extensions may be granted for a per -acre fee, unless an extension is needed
due to fire danger.
Mr. Rosanbalm stated that the Northwest Watershed Institute (NWI) reported a rare plant community in
the Chimibob area, so DNR has pulled the sale. They will have the Natural Heritage Program survey the
site. Ms. Griswold stated there already is a protected plant community in that area and it comes down to
how much should be protected. The rare plant community will affect three sections of Chimibob area.
Mr. Rosanbalm noted that if needed, the sale could be separated to keep it moving.
Mr. Rosanbalm updated the Board on an encroachment issue along a section of Goss Road. He also
updated the Board on upcoming harvests, sales and projections.
Ms. Anderson will coordinate with County staff on holding a seminar for the Junior Taxing Districts
regarding timber revenues.

DISCUSSION re: Authorization to Designate the Economic Development Council of
Jefferson County as the Associate Development Organization (ADO) for Jefferson County: Economic
Development Council (EDC) Team Jefferson is the designated Associate Development Organization
(ADO) for Jefferson County. Executive Director Brian Kuh stated that EDC is seeking designation to be
Jefferson County's Associate Development Organization (ADO) for the next State biennium in order for
them to continue receiving funding from the Washington State Department of Commerce. It is the goal
of ADOs to retain, grow and attract businesses by improving and communicating Washington's
competitive advantages.
Mr. Kuh shared with the Board EDC Team Jefferson's 2016 activities and goals for 2017 and beyond.
Commissioner Sullivan moved to authorize Madam Chair Kler to submit a form to the Washington State
Department of Commerce designating EDC Team Jefferson as the ADO for Jefferson County. Madam
Chair Kler seconded the motion. The motion carried.
DISCUSSION re: Port Ludlow Associates' (PLA) Request to Extend Expiration of
Olympic Terrace II, Preliminary Plat Approval: Department of Community Development (DCD)
Director Patty Charnas and Associate Planner David Wayne Johnson briefed the Board on Port Ludlow
Associates' (PLA) request for an extension.
Mr. Johnson stated that PLAs' request to extend their preliminary plat approval expires at the end of
June 2017 and PLA is requesting a one-year extension. He noted that if granted, this will be the third
extension under the subdivision ordinance. Madam Chair Kler asked if there is a limit on extensions?
Mr. Johnson replied there is no limit, but it does need to be granted in one-year increments.
Mr. Johnson stated that PLA has made strides in their project and that DCD staff is recommending the
Board grant their extension request. He added that it is a good policy to grant the extension and he
supports the process. He noted that this is an arduous process and it would be a waste of staff and PLA
resources not to grant the extension and have them start from the beginning.
Mr. Johnson noted that DCD received three letters of support from the following organizations in Port
Ludlow; 1) Port Ludlow Village Council; 2) Port Ludlow Maintenance Commission; and 3) South Bay
Association. These organizations support the County granting PLAs' extension request. He added that
he will be meeting with PLA early in the summer of 2017 to discuss their next steps.
PLA President Diana Smeland and PLA Land Planner Ryan Mowery gave a brief update on the status of
Olympic Terrace II, Phase II.
Commissioner Sullivan moved to approve an additional 12 -month extension of the preliminary plat
approval for Olympic Terrace II, Phase II, making the new expiration date June 28, 2018. Madam Chair
Kler seconded the motion. The motion carried.
