Rehder Award of Recycling Contract: Chairman Titterness pointed out that the comments received from the community indicate that there is strong public support in favor of awarding the recycling contract to Skookum. However, Skookum's RFP didn't include all the services that they now say they can provide. He asked Deputy Prosecuting Attorney David Alvarez if the County can accept the new information that wasn't in the RFP and draft a contract which includes these additional services or if another RFP would be required? David Alvarez answered that without doing the legal research, he feels that a revised RFP would be necessary. Public Works Director Frank Gifford stated that accepting green glass and plastics was included in the original RFP. Skookum, in their formal proposal, did not include these recyclables, but said they would be willing to negotiate. DM Disposal's bid proposal included both of these items. Page 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of March 24,2003 County Administrator David Goldsmith noted that if Skookum' s bid was for all the other commodities and they indicated they would be willing to negotiate on green glass and plastics, the County could request more information from Skookum on these recyclables, including the cost. He feels that this would not be outside the original RFP. David Alvarez stated his concern that since the green glass and plastics component of the bid for the other companies is now public information, Skookum could submit a lower bid. In a sealed bid process, that knowledge would not be available to the other bidders. Chairman Titterness reviewed the proposals: 1) a proposal that does not include green glass and plastics, but includes the DD component; 2) a proposal that includes green glass and plastics, but no DD component; and, 3) a more costly proposal that includes green glass and plastics and the DD component. He is concerned about a legal challenge from DM Disposal and Rabanco if the County offered a contract to Skookum that would require them to take green glass and plastics. Commissioner Wrinkle pointed out that none of the original proposals are comparable. Commissioner Huntingford added that the DD component is important to people in the County and this narrows the bids to 2 with that component. Chairman Titterness stated that being able to recycle green glass and plastics is also important to the public. Commissioner Huntingford stated that it is his understanding that the County has the option to reject all of the proposals. Frank Gifford added that if the Board rejected all the bids, an option would be to continue with the current contract. Commissioner Huntingford moved to table the decision on the recycling contract to April 7, 2003 to allow time for more legal review. Commissioner Wrinkle seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Washington State Department of Natural Resources re: Timber Revenue Update: Charley Courtelou, DNR, reported that January through December 2002, timber revenues for the County were $1.8 million which is slightly above average. From January through June, 2003, they are projecting $908,000 in revenues. July through December, 2003 an additional $162,000 is projected. Three timber sales will generate this revenue. The fiscal year for timber sales begins in July and more sales will be offered at that time. They are expecting an increase in the volume of timber for sale in FY 2004. The Timber Sale Distribution Spreadsheet is a new document in the DNR quarterly packet of information. This spreadsheet lists the obstacles or challenges of each timber sale by volume including: legal, cultural, right-of-way exchanges, wildlife, forest practice rules, and public concern. These issues impact the timber sale program. The other new document in the packet shows the amount of forest board transfer volumes and values that DNR has sold in the past decade. Page 3 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of March 24,2003 They then gave a Powerpoint presentation showing an inventory ofDNR land in Jefferson County, including areas where they want to focus and areas where they may want to divest themselves. This is a plan of how to keep the forests working, but it also takes into account the concerns of nearby communities. The DNR wants to work with the neighbors to meet their goals. The Board met in Executive Session from 11 :30 a.m. to Noon with the County Administrator, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, and the Director of Community Development regarding potential litigation. The Board recessed their meeting at the conclusion of the scheduled business and reconvened at the Kalaloch Lodge in the West End for the following hearing. All 3 Board members were present. HEARING re: Establishing a Stock Restricted Area in the West End: Approximately 20 interested citizens were present for this hearing. Chairman Titterness introduced the Elected Officials. He opened the public hearing and explained the hearing procedures. He read RCW 16.20.24.010 regarding restricted range area. The proposed area must be at least 2 square miles. Bob Huelsdonk, stated that he is interested in the driving reason for this proposal. This area has had open range for many years and there hasn't been a problem. Lonny Vessey, stated that he has 3 cows that get out of his fenced property because the fence gets torn down, and then he fixes it, and it gets torn down again. He has about seven fenced acres. Bob Huelsdonk, explained that he doesn't see a reason to designate this as a stock restricted area. The common rule on open range land is for the property owners who don't want animals on their land to build a fence. Lonny Vessey, stated that 8 years ago he started to put up a fence, but the neighbor asked him to sign a contract that said he would not cut anything within 30 feet of either side of the line. It's hard to maintain a fence under those conditions. Dave Dickson, Oil City Road, stated that open range is a double-edged sword depending on who your neighbors are. It is important if you are raising cattle to have the ability to utilize as much range land as possible, but you don't want to offend all your neighbors. The best thing to do is to have the local people work together to figure out what to do about the fence problem. He offered to help people with their fences in order to keep the open range. He doesn't want to see farming disappear in the West End because there are a lot of people who would rather see the land be added to the park or a government land base. Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of March 24,2003 ~..,... ,. Randy Parker, stated that he doesn't have a problem with open range, because it's been that way for years. People who moved into the neighborhood knowing that it was open range shouldn't have a problem either. Jim Conomos, explained that Lonny Vessey mentioned a contract, but it was just a statement that established that the fence line didn't represent the boundary line and it was done for the County's records. The proposed boundary is 2 square miles because that is the minimum acreage established by State law. It isn't in his interest that all that land be closed range. The definition of "range" implies that there is something there for the cattle to range on. He showed a map and indicated that on the east side of the highway there isn't any range. There isn't land for grazing except on Lonny's side ofthe fence or his side. The cows have been coming onto his property for at least 3 years. Carol Vessey, stated that in .1997 she had a major wreck. Every time her cows got out, they would try to get them back as soon as possible. She called the neighbors to help. They try to keep their property fenced. If this stock restricted area is approved and the cattle get out, what will happen? They will have to do what they do now, or get rid of the cattle. Jim Conomos, stated that he has had his business for fifteen years and the cattle have been there for 3 years and all of a sudden there is this issue with cows. There is a definite conflict, and this is the only way he can see of resolving it. It's been over 2 months since the cows have been over, so obviously there is a way to keep them in. He feels that the cows coming on his property are a serious threat to his livelihood. He showed the Commissioners pictures of Vessey's cows. Some ofthe pictures were taken a few years ago and some were taken recently. He explained that the cows are 10 feet from his front door, 15 feet from his back door, there are 6 inch holes all over his front and back yard, and there is a health issue for the people staying at his place, especially in the summer. The only range land on his property is the front yard and back yard. He has had the Sheriff out 5-6 times. He has rhododendrons that are 15 years old and 2 of them are dead because of the cows. He has a right to live the way he wants and this is an area that isn't affecting anyone else except Lonny and him and the forest land owners around them. Twice the cows have knocked over his drift boat and they go out on the highway at night which creates a hazard. There is an issue with elk, they have a range also. They stay for 1 or 2 days and then they leave. Elk don't make big holes in the ground and they don't eat the rhodies. The cows have severed the waterline to his garden. He has chased the cows away as many as 3 times a day over a concentrated period oftime, but they always come back. He has 17 acres ofland and to put a fence around that is unreasonable and not a solution. If the cows don't have enough range, then they are going to break out. It doesn't matter whose fence it is. They need to have enough to eat. Shane Pegram, stated that he is the third generation living on his Grandmother's homestead. He thinks the elk are a health concern and definitely part of the problem. They come around every 3 weeks and he chases them out of his field constantly. They tear down fences and then the cows get out. His cows get out too and he lives across the road from Conomos. It is a big concern because his cows have access to the highway and can cross over to the Conomos property. Ifhis cows get in his Uncle's yard, he goes over to get them. He's sure that Lonny goes over to Jim's property as fast as he can to get his cows. The elk are a big issue. If the Page 5 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of March 24,2003 i?~~ ~ "~f.¡I!,üi" stock restricted area is designated, what will happen if the cows get out? Commissioner Huntingford answered that it is his understanding that if there is a closed range and the animals get out, the owner is responsible for any damage that the cows do. Rob Capelle, stated that Shane's property is outside ofthe proposed stock restricted area, but what would happen if they wandered into it? Is he still open range? Would he still be responsible for the damage? Shane Pegram, stated that they just logged a huge amount oftimber land in the area and his cows graze near the river. They can smell a green blade of grass. That's his big concern. He tries to keep his cows on his side of the highway, but there are people who leave the gate open, or they cut the padlocks or knock down the gate. It's hard to control. He had a problem with one of his neighbors, but he thinks that it got resolved. He supplied him with a cattle guard and they fenced his whole yard. He doesn't like his cows going onto other people's property and tries to keep them off and he knows Lonny does too. IfLonny's cows come over to his property, he calls Lonny and he comes to get them, and they talk. Gretchen Pegram, stated that its hard not to take this personally because they live in a very spread out community, but it's very small. They all care about each other and they all talk to each other. She doesn't want the 2 square miles of stock restricted area because it will just keep getting bigger. She offered to let the neighbors put their cattle on her land because that's what neighbors are for, to help figure out the answer to the problem and work it out together. The answer is to talk to each other. Shane Pegram, suggested that they could get together as a community and fence Jim's 17 acres with elk fence, but he doesn't think Jim wants that because his clientele look forward to seeing the elk. John Richmond, stated that he has over 75 acres on the Upper Hoh. At present, he is not running cattle, but he will be. It is important to maintain an open range. If there is a problem in a localized area, then it needs to be looked at the same way it would be looked at in town. It seems much more reasonable to fence 17 acres and provide a cattle guard than it does for everyone else who runs stock to fence have to fence around 1,000 acres. It is a point of what is reasonable, logical, and economical. Jean Fletcher, stated that the only thing that hasn't been said is that the cattle keep the grass and the brush down. They are on the south side ofthe Hoh, on the east side ofthe highway and they have a very large herd of cattle. If they fenced their 160 acres, the grass around it would grow up and it would be a fire hazard. Her concern is that the stock restricted area will start with 2 square miles and grow to take up all of the West End of Jefferson County. She feels that they can work something out with the neighbors. James Jackson, stated that he and Jean Fletcher are the Shamrock Cattle Company and they have one of the larger herds of cattle in western Washington and the largest herd of pure bred cattle. They take their cattle to County Fairs and have gone to the "Nationals." They have a reasonable reputation. The concept of open range goes back into antiquity. He was born into a cattle family and his Father was a professional cattle Page 6 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of March 24,2003 '" ,.... buyer for 42 years. When you start playing with long established practices that work, you want to make sure it is for a good reason. It is apparent that this is a minuscule difference between two people who are neighbors. Solving this problem by creating a stock restricted area is going too far. Fences work both ways and there are already provisions in place for the confinement of cattle on property on open range. The ability of one person to maintain fences is no better than anyone else. Because of their purebred herd, they have invested the money and built a New Zealand fence. They also have 30-80 elk who come onto their property and this brings the usual number of area poachers. When the elk take the fence down, it has to be put back up. The Department of Wildlife won't help with the elk issue. There was a comment that if cattle have adequate range land, they won't range. This isn't true, cows always continue to walk forward. We choose to live here and the answer is to help your neighbors. Jerry Thomas, stated that he doesn't have cattle, but he does have horses, rabbits, ducks and other animals. The ecologic value of letting these animals run free is that it keeps down the foliage, he doesn't have problems with bears or wildcats, and he doesn't have the mosquito larvae like he did in the past. The horses keep the drainage open and this dries out the land. There is a disease from a mosquito that makes cattle sick and the animals that graze help reduce the mosquito's breeding grounds. Ifpeople don't want cattle in specific areas, someone shoµld supplement them so they can put up a fence. It serves people's best interest to let these animals run free; Shane Pegram, stated that most ofthe people who live here are family in one way or another. There are some original homesteaders and this proposal is a big fist in the gut. It affects a lot of people and most of them feel that a stock restricted area will continue to grow and affect more and more people. It's serious. Bob Huelsdonk, stated that fences always come down and the only thing to do is buy liability insurance. That's just one more cost to be born by the farmers who are already just barely making it. It's just another reason to shut down farming in Jefferson County. Jim Conomos, stated that everyone is talking about the "domino effect" and once the 2 square acres is closed range, it will keep getting larger. There are parts of the Clearwater that are closed range and it hasn't spread. He hears everyone talking about all the damage ITom the elk, but he doesn't see it at his place. The only time the elk are there is from November to April and they only come for a few days at a time during the rest ofthe year. They don't eat the flowers or his garden like the cows do. Lonny Vessey, stated that he has seen elk in Conomos' garden. The elk are in the valley all summer long to calve. Only about 2 acres of the Conomos property is grass. Jim Jackson, stated that the damage from the elk has an economic impact. They manage their range, have cross fences, and control the movement oftheir cattle in order to harvest the maximum amount of grass. When a herd of elk comes on the property, they eat whatever they want. They maintain a herd of elk on their ranch all winter. They build fences that are easy to put back up because the elk knock them down. To people who supplement their own food or are raising their own food, the grass has value. Page 7 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of March 24,2003 ',~"''''''', ~" . ">.~ +.f,rltl~;;~"'" John Richmond, asked if anyone can really say that this proposal won't cause a "domino effect?" Rob Capelle, stated that regardless if this will cause a "domino effect," it is obvious that the majority of the people in this room do not want it. It affects everyone. It was open range when we moved here and it should still be open range. It needs to stay open range. Randy Parker, stated that from the people who came to this hearing, the Commissioners should know that they want the land to stay open range. As far as the elk, for the last month they have been in his yard, but he's not complaining. Shane Pegram, stated that the elk destroy the hay crop every year. The elk are just as bad for him as the cows are for Jim. They skid and sink into the yard. Bob Huelsdonk, stated that to his knowledge there has never been a vehicle accident because of stock on the road. There used to be more signs that said "open range." Chairman Titterness explained that the State Department of Transportation is responsible for the signs. The Commissioners may be able to make a request for more signs. Lonny Vessey, stated that ifthere is a problem with his cows, his neighbor calls the Sheriff. He has asked Jim to call him instead of calling the Sheriff. David Richmond, stated that up on the Hoh, all the cattle were out on the road and the cars were backed up going both directions. The drivers in front were afraid to go because they thought they would hit the cows and hurt them. He got out of his car and drove the cattle off the road. He has elk around his house all year round and they tear the fence down. There is a certain way to approach the animals and get them to move. If not, they can tear a place up. Unidentified Man, stated he lives on the Upper Hoh now, but he used to live on the Clearwater. He was in on the closed range at Clearwater. Everybody around him was in open range, so it didn't do any good. He had cows and they didn't get out until the elk knocked down the fence. Sometimes he had to fix the fence 3 times a day. This is one complaint and it will affect everyone in this room. He fixed the fences for forty years and still couldn't keep the elk out. The cows always got out at the hole where the elk came in. The County won't do anything about the elk issue. J errv Thomas, stated that a comment was made about not getting a quick response from the Sheriff. He is retired army and he thinks that Deputy Dave Thomas is the best thing that has happened on the West End. His horses were out on Highway 101 one day and Deputy Thomas got out of bed and came and got him to get his horses off the highway. Page 8 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of March 24,2003 , , '" ,. Hearing no further comments for or against the proposed stock restricted area, Chairman Titterness closed the public hearing. Commissioner Huntingford explained that several people asked why this is being brought up. He explained that Jim Conomos has had a problem with this for the last couple years and has called the Commissioners several times. The key is to find a resolution to this problem that works for the community and keeps neighbors from getting angry with each other. Several options that have been mentioned seem like they will work. He thinks that Jim just wants to keep the cattle offhis grass. It would be better in the long run if everyone works together to solve the problem. He has livestock and understands all the issues of having them break through the fence. Commissioner Wrinkle stated that she is pleased to see so many people at this hearing. She is the new District 3 Commissioner. All through her campaign, she stressed that community solutions are the best. It is great to see this community come together with ideas to provide solutions. The Commissioners have limited options when it comes to solutions, and she appreciates the input from so many people. Chairman Titterness stated that this is a wonderful community turnout and he recognizes the closeness of the people who live here. He thinks that the group here can work this out among themselves. On April 7 at their meeting, the Commissioners will have some discussion about taking action or tabling this issue for a certain length of time to make sure that there are results from this meeting. Chairman Titterness opened the meeting up for discussion of any other issues. Treasurer Judi Morris and Sheriff Mike Brasfield also spoke to the group. The meeting was recessed at the end of the hearing at Kalaloch and was reconvened on Tuesday morning at the Courthouse for the following workshops. All 3 Board members were present. WORKSHOP on the TriArea: (Continued from March 19, 2003) At the close ofthis workshop, Commissioner Huntingford moved to have the County Administrator form a team and develop a strategy to implement the provisions ofthe Tri-Area UGA including: Comprehensive Plan and UDC amendments, development regulations, costs of capital improvements, and a timeline. Commissioner Wrinkle seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. WORKSHOP about the Indian Island Sewer Facility with Public Utility District No.1: At the close of this workshop, the Board agreed to support efforts by the PUD to thoroughly investigate the purchase and operation ofthe Indian Island sewer facility and support the Indian Island sewer option to be part ofthe Comprehensive Sewer Plan for the Tn-Area UGA. Commissioner Huntingford moved to direct staff to draft a letter of support to the NA VMAG at Indian Island regarding PUD #1 IS request for an extension of the submittal deadline on Solicitation N44255-01-R-8006 - NA VMAG Indian Island Sewer Utilities, and that the County will provide up to $10,000 to the PUD in order for Subcontractor Economic Page 9 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of March 24,2003 ",,,~ rr... ~ and Engineer Services to create a placeholder bid in the event the timeline cannot be extended. Commissioner Wrinkle seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The meeting was recessed at the close of business on Tuesday and reconvened on Wednesday at 11 :00 a.m. to interview Brent Wesenberg, MD who is interested in serving on the Jefferson county Substance Abuse Advisory Board. Commissioner Huntingford and Commissioner Wrinkle were present. Commissioner Titterness was absent. AGREEMENT re: Photogrammetric Mapping Services for the Tri Area UGA; Walker and Associates: Jeff Miller, GIS, explained that Walker and Associates is doing work for the military at Indian Island and ifthe work for the County is done at the same time, the County will save a minimum of$3,500. The cost is $10,750 for the aerial photos. The current aerial photos that the County uses are from the DNR and are black and white. The immediate benefit from these photos is that Jim Pearson, Public Works Department and Dave Christensen, Natural Resources Department will be able to calculate impervious surface areas for surface water planning. Jim Pearson has said that they have some money to contribute to the project. The photos would also be used for UGA planning and mapping. There was a discussion about asking the PUD if they could use the maps and possibly contribute to the cost. Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve the agreement with Walker and Associates for aerial photos of the Tri Area UGA for $10,750, without the optional services. Commissioner Wrinkle seconded the motion which carried. MEETING ADJOURNED-'" " . * "," ",\ ~J '-4 . , \.. ,\ {I , -'-. ... . ,,' Ii .., . ~ \0 " ~ , \, " , ¡ \ ~... . . \ ... .

They are over 14 years old. * They have severed the water line to my garden, * Consideration should be given to the fact that I have been in business here for over 15 years my neightbor has had cows for 3 years. Their presence ( the cows) are a threat to my business since much of it is dependant on word of mouth, * Repeated visits by the local deputy, who has seen the damage and trouble these cattle have caused, has not prevented my neighbor from letting his cows damage my business and property, regards, Jim The Rain Forest Hostel is the nearest hostel to the North American temperate rainforests and the Olympic Coast Marine Sanctuary, website www.rainforesthostel.com Email g02hostel@centurytel.net telephone (360)374-2270 address 169312 hwy 101 Forks, WA 98331 3/19/2003 " -., '1 "1~1 .. ~."
