Assessor; Auditor; and Treasurer re: Courtesy Ford Land Designation/Sales Tax Distribution: Treasurer Judi Morris reported that she reviewed the sales tax Courtesy Ford has paid in the County over the last year and it appears that the County has been getting its fair share of sales taxl Assessor Jack Westerman added that Kitsap County has a higher sales tax, so it is important that the sales tax is coded correctly so people who make their purchase in Jefferson County aren't paying the higher Kitsap County rate. He also noted that the short plat where Courtesy Ford is located is designated, for property tax purposes, as commercial, however, that designation has nothing to do with sales tax collection.

The ADT (Average Daily Traffic) on Oak Bay Road near the Fire Station in 1997 was 3,028 and 2,460 in 1992. This increase in the ADT has contributed to the traffic noise in this area. The chip sealing project for the Oak Bay Road will be started later this month. A maintenance stabilization project will be done next year on Old Shine Road. The Oil City culvert replacement project is on schedule. A traffic count was done on the Oil City road and it was 167 vehicles per day.
