Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. CO UNTY ADMINISTRATOR BRIEFING SESSION: County Administrator Charles Saddler reported: * He is currently reviewing the responses from County departments to his memos requesting non- personnel and personnel budget cuts in the 2002 budget. He thanked the departments for responding to this request. There are substantial reductions at the State level for Juvenile Services and Health and Human Services which will have severe impacts on the County's funding for these programs. There will be considerable re-organization in the Health Department if State funds are cut as proposed. Grants for Health, Juvenile Justice and IAC funding (parks) are all in jeopardy. * The Emergency Preparedness session at the WSAC Legislative Conference included a good discussion with the Homeland Security Task Force. Over the last 10 years the FBI's NCIC system has been restricted to use for background checks for law enforcement personnel only. The counties have used the NCIC system for background checks for prospective employees. The FBI has said this system is no longer available to local governments for background checks. The other options for background check services are very costly. WSAC plans to take this issue to the Federal government to see if it can be changed. Page 1 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of November 19, 2001 Another issue discussed at the WSAC Conference was the heightened alert about anthrax and how that has impacted Health Department workloads. Counties are having trouble sustaining the current effort level on these issues. He encouraged the Commissioners and Board of Health to request that the State Department of Health take on the anthrax and other bio terrorism issues. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made: the Board should not consider a UGA for the Tri Area, but should consider designating this area as LAMRID and that this option be reviewed at the December workshop; the proposal sent to the Board from the Tri Area Planning Group was first developed by the County and the County needs to get on with the sub-area planning process; a request was made to Commissioner Titterness that the Board check into the article in the "Vigilance" newspaper about the conduct of John Hynson as a Planning Commission member; John Hynson should be removed as a member of the Planning Commission (Commissioner Titterness has tried to investigate this story in the "Vigilance" and is still trying to investigate this matter;) the Planning Commission Chairman stated that he talked with several people who attended the meeting where Mr. Hynson's conduct was questioned and none of them witnessed the action that was reported in the newspaper; and a request that the County apply for a waiver so the IAC grant for the Chimacum Creek site can go forward.

There are also 4 "policy" amendments that need to be addressed. DCD is requesting that the Board schedule a public hearing on December 10, 2001. He then reviewed the packet of information on the amendments which includes the Planning Commission's recommendation on the 5 site specific amendments. The Planning Commission agrees with DCD's recommendation on 4 of the 5 site specific amendments. Three of the amendments involve a rezone from a residential to a commercial designation. DCD recommended that these three amendments be addressed when the County makes an assessment of the Glen Cove Industrial/Commercial district and the Chimacum Neighborhood/Visitor Commercial Crossroad district through the Tri Area/Glen Cove Special Study. The other request is for a residential area on Marrowstone Island. The Planning Commission recommended against the DCD recommendation and said the amendment should be approved (MLA227.) The last site specific amendment is a rezone for a number of properties south of Brinnon. The County needs to move forward with the appointment of a Forestland Task Force to deal with the issues around small residential parcels bordered by larger timber lands.

Director of Community Development A1 Scalf advised that these amendments will be presented after the Planning Commission deliberations are complete.
