COMMISSIONERS' BRIEFING SESSION
APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES: The minutes of July 22, 1996 were approved
as read by motion of Commissioner Hinton, seconded by Chairman Wojt. The motion carried.
Sheriff Pete Piccini re: Request for Additional Traffic Deputy: Public Services
Director Gary Rowe submitted a memo regarding the Sheriffs request for an additional Deputy.
Sheriff Pete Piccini stated that the Department needs another officer for traffic patrol. In 1995
there were four fatal accidents, two of which were alcohol related. To date in 1996 there have
been four fatal accidents, with three of them being alcohol related. There have been fatalities in
both years on either Beckett Point Road and Cape George Road. The department has been
trying to have the Patrol Deputies do more traffic work, but they are needed to handle crime
related activities. Sheriff Piccini then reported on the duties of a Traffic Officer. He reported
that to fund this position for the balance of 1996 would cost about $20,000 depending on the
vehicle assigned. It will cost approximately $55,000 to fund the position in 1997. The State
Patrol has agreed to assist the County Deputies for a while in patrolling County roads.
Commissioner Hinton asked if the Patrol Deputies do any traffic work at all? SheriffPiccini
stated that they do when they can, but setting them up in a program is very hard because they get
pulled away to other calls. Commissioner Hinton then asked what the Patrol and Traffic
Sergeants do? SheriffPiccini reported that these officers take calls and patrol, and they have
additional administrative duties. Commissioner Hinton asked if the Department is using all of
the officers to the fullest extent? Sheriff Piccini answered that they are. The discussion
continued regarding community-based policing, the use of Reserve Deputies, and law enforce-
ment in the West End.
Commissioner Hinton noted that he would like to have Commissioner Huntingford present when
this decision is made. This item will be rescheduled on the August 12, 1996 agenda.

PUBLIC SERVICES BRIEFING: Public Services Director Gary Rowe
reminded the Board that this Friday there will be a 1997 budget workshop with the Department
Heads; Thursday at 8:00 a.m. the Board will be meeting with District and Superior Court to
discuss the needs of the Courts for the future. There is a Law and Justice meeting Wednesday.

.
.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following items were discussed:
The Planning meeting held in the Tri Area last week;
A question about a State Department of Ecology public notice regarding a water right in
the Quilcene area;
The status of the prefelTed alternatives for the Tri Area and the need for the Board to
make a decision regarding the Tri Area;
A request that the Board not approve funding for the Jefferson Transit's Water Street
Shuttle (which is primarily used by tourists) because it will take away the 1/2 hour Transit
service around town;
The Irondale Neighbors, were present to discuss approval being given by the County for
mobile homes on East Price Street. Mike Ajax, Building Inspector reported that three (3)
building permits have been issued, but certificates of occupancy have not been issued
and a fmal inspection has not yet been done on them. People should not be living in these
mobile homes. Chairman Wojt asked about the process, if people move into a house
without a Certificate of Occupancy? Mike Ajax reported that he has contacted the
property owner and put a stop work order on the property. The property owner stated that
he was told that the people cannot move in because the road was not completed. He
contacted the people who were to build the road and they informed him that the road will
be completed shortly. He advised that all other work on the mobile homes will be
completed by Tuesday or Wednesday. The discussion continued regarding the condition
of these homes and what the County allows and does not allow. Bob Henderson, Public
Works, reported that there is a portion of East Price Street that is County Road. It was
accepted years ago and was built to private standards at the time. A request was made
that a speed limit sign or "Children at Play" signs be put up in the area. The neighbors in
the area want the problems with the road colTected.
The BMP's for sea water intrusion, were discussed and the need for more data regarding
this issue on MaITowstone Island. It was felt that the Health Department has already
made a conclusion that MaITowstone Island is in a sea water intrusion area.
.
.
.
.
Commissioner Hinton reiterated to Mr. Brown (the property owner on East Price Street that has
the mobile homes) that he cannot move anyone into the mobile homes until there is a certificate
of occupancy issued for them. Commissioner Hinton asked if signs can be put on East Price
Street? Klara Fabry, Public Works Director, stated that signs can be installed on this road.
Commissioner Hinton asked Mr. Brown if he would talk with the Building Inspector this week
to resolve the issues on the mobile homes he owns on East Price Street. The discussion
continued regarding County regulations for lot size, septic permits, setbacks, water, etc.

tive, advises that this type of decision is made on a regional basis from the Forks Office. The

Laurie, Public Works Transportation Manager, reported that the draft Stormwater Management
Ordinance was brought to the Board last August and then sent to the Prosecuting Attorney for
review. The Prosecuting Attorney has finished his review.

should be send back to the Planning Commission for their review since it has been changed?

Commission review, and a public hearing. The changes made are revisions required by
regulatory reform.

ordinance add an appeal process, and several other things required by Regulatory Reform. The
Prosecuting Attorney did not advise that it would have to go back to the Planning Commission
for further review. He reported that the Department has estimated that an additional halftime
employee would be needed to handle the work created by the passage of this proposed ordi-
nance. He explained that this ordinance provides an administrative process and technical review
ofland use projects.
Commissioner Hinton asked that the Prosecuting Attorney be asked if the Planning Commission
needs to review this proposed ordinance since changes have been made. Commissioner Hinton
moved to tentatively set the public hearing for the Stormwater Ordinance for Monday, August
19, 1996 at 2:30 p.m., pending the Prosecuting Attorney's determination. Chairman Wojt
seconded the motion that carried. (Note -- the Prosecuting Attorney advised that the changes
should be reviewed by the Planning Commission before a public hearing held. The date for the
public hearing will be set at.a later meeting.)

HEARING re: Proposed Amendments to the Jefferson County Shore~
Master Program: Section 5.60. Docks. Piers. and Floats (13b): Monica MacGuire, Permit
Coordinator, reported that the Planning Department has prepared amendments to the Docks,
Piers and Floats Section of the Shoreline Master Program. The Shoreline Commission amended
the section and held a public hearing on the changes. However, the SEP A review was not
completed until recently, so the Board directed that another public hearing be held.
Commissioner Hinton asked about the section on covered moorage that is only allowed in
marinas? Monica Mac Guire reported that staff recommends two additional changes: 1) strike
the word "boat houses," in the section, and 2) insert the word "or" before the phrase "above the
line of ordinary high water" under Performance Standards on page 8. The fIrst change corrects
the section regarding covered moorage and brings it in compliance with the rest of the plan.
Commissioner Hinton stated that item 13 (a), where it talks about being perpendicular to the
shoreline and water depth, is confusing. Monica Mac Guire reported that there was supposed to

be a table with this section to help explain it and that hasn't been provided. She advised that
staff will work on making this section clear and concise. More comments will be coming from
the State Department of Ecology. The SEPA comment period ends on August 8, and then there
is a 10-day appeal period until August 19, 1996.
Commissioner Hinton suggested that the word "necessary" be deleted in performance standard
number 16.
The Chair then opened the public hearing.
Jeff Gallant, Quilcene, asked if the Shoreline Master Program is a required element of the
Comprehensive Plan? Monica Mac Guire reported that it is not part of the Comprehensive Plan.
The County's Shoreline Plan is required by State law. It will become a part of the Comprehen-
sive Plan in the future.
Hearing no further comments for or against the proposed changes, the Chairman closed the
hearing.
Commissioner Hinton moved to extend the public comment period to 5:00 p.m. on August 19,
1996. Chairman Wojt seconded the motion that carried.
