COUNTY ADMINISTRATORS BRIEFING SESSION: Deputy County Administrator
David Goldsmith reported:
· The County's liability for taking over responsibility for programs offered in conjunction with other
gov6mmental agencies has changed because of a recent change in the language of the
intergovernmental agreements. The County wilt be reviewing all intergovernmental contracts to
make sure that the language requires the contractor to have a "duty to defend" the County.
Chairman Wojt reported'that he serves on governing boards as a representative of the County, for
several multi-jurisdictional organizations, such as the PRSN, and O3A. The staff for these
organizations reviews and recommends that the :organizations enter into contracts that bind the
member counties; but the individual counties have not had any review of the contract. David
Goldsmith reported that the Washington Counties Risk Pool is working with the State to develop
contractual language to address the liability issues for each local jurisdiction and the agency. The
Board asked that the intergovernmental agreements with each regional agency be reviewed by the
ProsecUting Attorney before approval by the agency is considered..
· Last week representatives from the County, the City, the PUD and the Port met in the first of a series
of quarterly meetings to discuss mutual concerns. A list of issues will be developed for further
discussion.
Last week the Marine Resources Committee (MRC) hosted a meeting on local emergency response
to oil spills. The Emergency Managemem staff will brieqthe MRC on the local response plan with a
request that the MRC help improve and enhance it.
· The Marine Resources Committee took a tour of the shoreline areas of the County last week to
review shoreline issues.
- The DNR, in partnership with several other groups, is planning the first Dabob Bay cleanup and is
asking that the County waive the solid waste tipping foe for this effort. The Board concurred that
this request be approved and that the funding will come from the Community Service Fund.

Endangered Species Act Listing of Salrnonid Species (See also Consent Agenda Item 1 )
Commissioner Huntingford noted that there is concern about "takings" in all land use issues. He feels that
fishing is a "taking" that is being allowed to continue while regulations and restrictions are being imposed
on property owners to help save the salmon. He suggested that wording be added to the resolution to
acknowledge the improvements and work that the County has already done to save the salmon.
