sewerage /septic plan with the PUD; 3) Update on the amount of solid waste going through the

telecommunications issues? Charles Saddler will be working with the City of Port Townsend on a
special briefing on water rights for the City well system.
Acoustical Treatment for Commissioners Chambers: Commissioner Titterness said that if this can't be
done immediately, the Commissioners' meetings should be moved to the Lower Level Conference
Room. Charles Saddler will report on this next week.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made: An article in the
Seattle PI on Drug Court was reviewed; a comment that the full page article in the Leader on "Shed Boys"
makes light of a serious problem; the County Commissioners were complimented for working in a bi- partisan
effort to address problems; economic development in the Satsop area was discussed; a prediction was made
that the U.S. is headed into a bad recession which will require massive budget cuts and lay offs in 3 -4 years;
the last Planning Commission meeting was disquieting because of the vote on the Comprehensive Plan
amendment on Black Point as remanded back from the Hearings Board; comments since that Planning
Commission meeting are that more notice and process is needed on this matter; the recent salary review gave
employees involved a 10% raise and it didn't have anything to do with the qualifications of the people to do
their job and what is the justification for raising the pay so that employees are at the median range?

(Commissioner Titterness advised that not everyone got a 10% raise); a man said that he suffered defamation
of character from being searched in the Courtroom because he looked like he had something in his pocket
(Commissioner Titterness advised that the Commissioners do not tell the Sheriff's Deputies how to handle
security in the Courtroom); a note that the Building Inspectors and the employees at DCD do a good job and
work hard and the only complaints are about permit delays that are being caused by a vacant position which
adds to the workload of the remaining Inspector; and concern about the way a Deputy treated someone that
was pulled over for traffic violation.

moved to approve all of the items on the Consent Agenda as presented. Commissioner Titterness seconded

Petition to Name a Private Road Zion View Lane; Located off of Center Road, Quilcene;
Michael and Patricia Handly, Petitioners: Wendy Ward, Public Works, advised that two comments were
received on this petition. The Postmaster indicated that the Post Office prefers Zion View Lane because
there are already two roads with Tarboo in the name. This road has to be named because the 6th address
request has been received on this road. The petitioner cannot get their building permit until the road name is
established and they are issued an address. The Public Works Department's recommendation is that the road
be name Zion View Lane.

Barbara Fisk said that she did not get notification of this meeting and had to call to find out the meeting date.
She then reviewed a map of the area. She asked that the permanent address of 10162 Center Road be kept on
their property because this road is their driveway. She does not object to naming the road and putting the
fire numbers on it for these properties. Her granddaughter has printed information with the address and to
change it would be an extreme hardship for her.
Ashley Sorenson, Barbara Fisk's granddaughter, stated that she puts on a show for sheep breeders every year
and the cost to make address changes on the pamphlets, signs, banner and advertising would be substantial.
Cheryl Sorenson stated that they own the driveway. There is no other access to these properties from Center
Road. This address change will create a financial burden because they can't make this change this late in the
year without impacting their business. Commissioner Wojt asked if the address for the Sorenson's property
has to be changed? Wendy Ward confirmed that the access is their private driveway with an easement for the
other properties along this road. Barbara Fisk asked if the County would reimburse her for the costs
associated with the road name change? Wendy Ward reported that the ordinance states that unless the
County initiates the change request, costs are not reimbursed.
Commissioner Wojt clarified that the question involves the Post Office rules regarding the address that the
property owner must use. The County doesn't have jurisdiction over the Post Office address and if the mail
box is on Center Road, the address may be able to stay the same. Charles Saddler asked that Public Works
check with the Post Office about whether the property owner can have their mailing address (postal address)
on Center Road if the physical address (911 address) is changed to Zion View Lane? The front door of the
house faces Center Road, but the house is over 600 feet back from the road.
Commissioner Titterness moved to table this matter for one week if the additional information is not
available today. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Later in the Morning: Wendy Ward, Public Works, presented a fax from Harriet Star, Quilcene Postmaster,
saying that "the property owner (with the Center Road address) ... can keep a Center Road address as far as
the mail delivery is concerned."
Commissioner Wojt moved to accept the recommendation from Public Works and approve RESOLUTION
NO. 39 -01 naming a private road Zion View Lane. Commissioner Titterness seconded the motion which
carried by a unanimous vote.
The Board then interviewed Richard Berg who is interested in serving on the Jefferson County Planning
Commission.

carried.
