Voting members attending were Kathie Sharp, Debi Bainbridge, Dan Youra, and Joy Baisch. Frances Rawski arrived at 12:15 pm. Others attending were Pam Gresty, Miriam Villiard, John Austin, Deborah Black, Bill Roney and Kitti deLong. Meeting minutes from January 15, 2008, were approved. Additions to the Agenda: John Austin reported Jefferson County news updates: A temporary interim Administrator will be in place on Tuesday, January 19, 2008. County will give a contract to a company that will bring in a long-term interim administrator. That person will guide the Board of County Commissioners in their search for a permanent Administrator. Of interest to Port Ludlow residents, the "no shooting" zone will be extended along the coast as far as Highway 104 and Paradise Bay. There is an exclusion south of Andy Cooper Road and the water that will be kept as a shooting zone. Thursday night, there will be a hearing for the new Septic Ordinance, in which people will be able to become certified so that they will be able to certify their own septic systems. At the end of the month, there will be a revision of the "Critical Areas" Ordinance, which concerns how far back from critical areas (bluffs, streams, bodies of water, etc.) new construction work needs to be. John reminded us that at 9:00 a.m. every Monday morning, there is a time for Public Comment at the County Commissioner's meeting (three minutes) Action: John will send to Kitti the graphics on the Hotel/Motel Tax and Kitti will forward them to the TCC group. Action: TCC will add a Standing Agenda Item to include News from Jefferson County presented by County Commissioner John Austin. Ferry: At the Chamber of Commerce meeting yesterday, it appears that Legislators have gotten the message that we are unhappy with the ferry situation. The ferry is too small, rocks back and forth too hard, and took on some water last week. In concert with the ferry changes, Joy reminded us to update all websites and that they need to be changed to include information for alternative routes to the Peninsula via using the Narrows and Hood Canal Bridges. Websites need choices for new mapping processes. None of us have our websites updated with current information. Financials: The bill for the website updates for www.heartoftheolympics.com was paid, but we expect that will be paid by some other entity next year. There was a carryover from 2007 in Professional Services that will be evened out by the same carryover at the end of this year. Travel Planner for PT: Joy brought copies of the new Travel Planner, and showed us the insert that lists the Port Townsend lodgings. She asked who is printing the Slip Sheet that contains the list of lodgings for the County that we need to insert into the Travel Planner. That was unable to be determined. ACTION: Kitti will call Diane to find out who was printing the Slip Sheet Insert and where it is. Continuing Business: Spring Marketing Campaign Debi Black presented a possible Spring Campaign (see attachments). Dan Youra presented a possible spring campaign (see attachment). ByLaws: Joy made a motion to change the By -Laws to read that if any voting member has three unexcused absences (i.e., misses three meetings for unexcused reasons) in a year, then that position will be filled with a new member who will be appointed by the TCC. This motion was seconded by Kathy. Motion passed unanimously. During the reading of the By -Laws, it was discovered that there is a requirement for all members to notify the recorder if they can not attend a meeting. ACTION: Kitti will email this to John Austin and he will present this motion to change the By -Laws to the Board of County Commissioners for ratification. Francis arrived at 12:15 pm. Debi had brought her up to date on the phone before she arrived about the two Spring Campaign Proposals. Debi made a motion to accept the Spring Campaign Proposal that Debbie Black has made and to hold off on any discussion of the Website until a committee has had a chance to review possibilities and make recommendations. Kathy seconded. Dan abstained from voting. Motion passed unanimously. Meeting ended at 12:30 PM.
