This is less than anticipated. The selling plan for fiscal year 2001 was less than predicted. However there should be some increase in the selling plan for 2002. He mentioned a problem with a timber sale on State Trust Land on the Coyle Peninsula where several adjacent property owners use the parcel without approval to access their properties. Charles Saddler asked for an update on the law before the Legislature regarding mooring buoys? Tom Robinson advised that they don't know if this law has passed yet, but it looks like it will. The law would allow upland owners to have a recreational mooring buoy in front of their property. There are no fees for these buoys and the DNR will administer the program. DNR will have to take a look at this program and how it will be addressed in the future. The discussion then turned to tideland issues in the area. HEARING re: Proposed Budget Appropriations and Extensions; Various County Funds: The Chair opened the public hearing. Hearing no public comment for or against the proposed appropriations /extensions, the Chair closed the public hearing. Commissioner Titterness moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 52 -01 ordering the budget appropriation/extensions as requested. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Department of Community Development re: Proposed ORDINANCE Adopting Recommendations Regarding Camp Parsons and Black Point: Deputy Director of Community Development Warren Hart advised that the proposed ordinance before the Board is the Planning Commission's recommendation regarding Camp Parsons and Black Point. If the Board approves the ordinance, a notice of adoption needs to be advertised in this week's newspaper. Commissioner Wojt asked about the density of Black Point being 1 residence to 10 acres instead of 1 Page 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of May 21, 2001 residence to 20 acres. Warren Hart advised that the Planning Commission reviewed the issue and felt that 1 /10 was the best designation for Black Point. Their recommendation is based on criteria from the Comprehensive Plan and the UDC. The difference between the 1 /10 and the 1/20 designation in this area is approximately 10 single family housing units. Warren Hart explained that adoption of this ordinance will implement and finalize the Camp Parsons and Black Point Comprehensive Plan amendments and meet the requirements of the public process order from the WWGNM. The ordinance will put into place the final land use designation at Black Point. The Planning Commission's recommendation to create a new land use designation for Camp Parsons will require an amendment to the UDC. This means that the Board will need to direct staff to move forward with an ordinance to enable the new designation to be brought forward. Commissioner Titterness asked if there is a problem adopting this ordinance since changes will be made to the UDC afterwards? David Alvarez explained that the Parks, Preserves, & Recreation designation is within the confines of Comprehensive Plan and therefore it is GMA compliant. Commissioner Titterness moved to approve and adopt ORDINANCE NO. 02- 0521 -01. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion and noted that the citizens commenting on Camp Parsons asked that the total number of parcels owned by the Boy Scout organization in that area be included. Randy Kline advised that the additional Boy Scout properties were not part of the appeal and cannot be addressed in this action. Only the PP &R designated Camp Parsons properties are included in this action. The Boy Scout organization that owns Camp Parsons or the County Commissioners can request a Comprehensive Plan amendment to include the adjacent Boy Scout properties in the PP &R designation. The Chair called for a vote on the motion. Commissioner Titterness and Chairman Huntingford voted for the motion. Commissioner Wojt abstained from voting. The motion carried. Public Works re: Open Right -of -Way Permit Application; Gustaysen Road; Gordon & Lynn Olson, Applicants: Terry Duff, Public Works Department, advised that this permit is for property located at the end of Gustaysen Road in Quilcene. The County maintains a portion of the road for 3/8 of a mile and the Olsons are asking that the County allow them to open the road to minimum private road standards for an additional 190 feet. The County's minimum private road standards will require: clearing a 20 foot right -of -way, a 14 foot wide crushed gravel surface, and installation of an 18" culvert where a natural drainage area exits. This portion of the road won't be maintained by the County and will have a private road status. Commissioner Wojt moved to approve this application to open right -of -way to minimum private road standards as recommended by the Public Works Department. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Page 3 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of May 21, 2001 Discussion re: Purchase of Property for Family Resource Center: Deputy County Administrator David Goldsmith advised that Jefferson Mental Health, a private mental health provider, is in transition. The purchase of this property is through a CDBG grant that the County administers and is the first step in a half a million dollar building project to provide services to families. The Family Resource Center will be a physical focal point for service delivery. The grant will pay for the largest portion of the cost of building this Center. Laurie Strong presented a synopsis of the specific elements of the project that were in the grant application. David Goldsmith noted that the grant to build this Center and the grant programs are expected to run for the 20 year period of the grant contract. Chairman Huntingford asked what the funding source is for the continuing operations and maintenance of the building? Laurie Strong advised that the funding source for operations and maintenance is from the agencies whose programs will be housed in the building. Chairman Huntingford then asked what would happen if one of these agencies loses their funding for a program? Laurie Strong answered that they have estimated the operating costs for the building, not including programs, will be about $542.00 per month. This cost will be divided among six agencies. If one agency falls out of the equation, they can make up that amount by renting out any available rooms on an hourly or daily basis. The other option is to find another agency to join in the operations. Bill Nesmith added that they will continue to look for other funding sources. Charles Saddler advised that the costs of the building are all that is being discussed because the costs of the programs are already covered. There are a number of agencies collaborating on this project. If one is eliminated, there probably are other agencies who would want to be involved in the project. Chuck Henry, member of the Board of Jefferson Mental Health, advised that there have been a number of rumors about their license being pulled which are not true. Their State license is in tact after an audit last week. The Mental Health Board has determined that the financing structure of the managed care system administered by the Regional Support Network makes it financially impossible to maintain management services and also provide counseling services. They are looking for another agency to provide management services for Jefferson Mental Health. They will stay in business to provide their contracted services and plan on trying to transition without too much impact to any of their services. Commissioner Wojt explained that the RSN met last week to discuss ways to help Jefferson Mental Health through the current situation. Commissioner Wojt moved that the Chair sign the purchase documents (Settlement Statement, Closing Escrow Instructions, Statutory Warranty Deed, and Excise Tax Affidavit) for Lot 65 of Port Townsend Business Park. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
