PRESENTATION re: AGREEMENT for Volunteer Maintenance Services Irondale Beach Park: Parks and Recreation Manager Matt Tyler stated that Jefferson County Parks and Recreation continues to seek out and maintain new partnerships and encourages volunteerism. Mr. Tyler explained that the Friends of Chimacum Creek, a group of volunteers, seek to enter into a maintenance agreement for Irondale Beach Park. Maintenance duties include mowing, garbage service, park clean up, trail clearing, sign cleaning, general repairs and removing brush and debris. The volunteers will also monitor park use, assist with reservations and events, and participate in park planning. The volunteers have maintained Irondale Beach Park since staff reductions in 2009 and wish to continue doing so over the long term. The proposed agreement allows for $250 per year toward maintenance and operation of equipment owned by the volunteers for use at Irondale Beach Park. The benefits of providing a 14 -acre beach park and National Historic Site far outweigh the costs. Mr. Tyler stated that waterfront parks have been busy this year and he is honored to work with the Friends of Chimacum Creek. The agreement will enable them to continue with modest development, which includes signage. Mr. Tyler and Friends of Chimacum Creek described the history of the park and noted the significant amount of volunteer time that goes into maintaining the park.

Page 3 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of August 14, 2017 Director Charnas stated that at the proposed MPR site, there is a former campground which included a system of paved and gravel roads, parking areas, 500+ RV pad sites and buildings with septic tanks and drain fields. She highlighted on a portion of the Brinnon Subarea Plan which noted that Black Point existing businesses include the Pleasant Harbor Marina and the former old NACO West RV Park and Campground and associated commercial buildings and uses as well as Mt. Jupiter Auto Repair and Coldwell Banker Settlers Real Estate office on Highway 101. Director Charnas explained that Jefferson County Code 18.15.126 through 135 sets forth local code requirements for the preparation, content and criteria for the approval process of MPRs, including development standards and development agreement stipulations. Following is the timeline for the Pleasant Harbor MPR process: • 2006: Application for the MPR designation • November 2007: Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement, 413 comments received • January 2008: Board of County Commissioners approved the MPR designation in Ordinance No. 01-0128-08 which lists 30 conditions that must be used for the planning and development of the Pleasant Harbor MPR. • September 2008: Ordinance 01-0128-08 was appealed and upheld by the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board • June 2009: The decision was challenged and upheld in Superior Court • January 2011: The decision was further upheld by the Court of Appeals • 2016: Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe voices concerns over proposed project Director Charnas reviewed the additional environmental impacts analysis, and the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe (PGST) consultation and inclusionary process. Consultations between the tribe, County and developer are still continuing. Director Charnas explained the development agreement and development regulations with those in attendance and fielded questions by the Commissioners and members of the Planning Commission. Planning Commission member Mr. Jochems asked if there is a formal signed agreement with the PGST? County Administrator Philip Morley replied that in 1989, the tribes mapped out the process for government to government consultation. He explained that the process requires the County to make an earnest effort to communicate and to look for opportunities to come to a consensus, but it does not require parties to reach an agreement. The parties may disagree and the PGST retains its legal rights. Planning Commissioner member Mr. Giske noted that the last letter from the PGST seems to show a great deal of frustration, how are their concerns being addressed? Commissioner Sullivan replied that he is scheduling further meetings with PGST Chair Jeromy Sullivan. He added that he was the author of many of the conditions listed in the development regulations, conditions that went above and beyond what the Tribe was asking for at that time. He noted that the Tribe's concerns are the County's concerns as well. The Commissioners and Planning Commission staff discussed the topic further. Commissioner Sullivan stated there is a lot of history on this project and it is important to continue to respect tribal rights, Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of August 14, 2017 applicant rights, and neighbor rights too. He would like for all parties to reach consensus. He thanked the Planning Commission for attending. Director Charnas stated she will make the power point presentation available on the County's website. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BRIEFING SESSION: Cancelled. NOTICE OFADJOURNMENT.
