Page 1 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 14, 2003 COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BRIEFING SESSION: County Administrator David Goldsmith reported on the following: · Telecommunications Week Proclamation: Commissioner Huntingford moved to proclaim April 13- 19,2003 as Telecommunication Week. Commissioner Wrinkle seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. · A letter was sent to the PUD Commissioners about the Marrowstone Island water system project. Many of the roads on Marrowstone Island are usage roads and have not been surveyed. The County does not intend to survey them for this project. The installation of the water system on the major roads where the traffic is heavier will be done by boring. On the less traveled and unpaved roads, the County will work with the PUD to determine if cuts are appropriate. This letter reiterates to the PUD Commissioners that the County is willing to work with them on this project, but at the same time, it needs to be made clear that the taxpayers will not be supporting excessive maintenance costs in the future. · A new license agreement with the Sportsmen's Club will be on the agenda next week. The Club has maintained a shooting range on the County property next to the Jacob Miller Transfer Station for many years. They have done a good job of operating the facility and it has been accessible for the training oflocallaw enforcement officers. The Sportsmen's Club is applying for an lAC grant for improvements to the facility, but the grant requires a 10 year agreement. The Prosecuting Attorney has restructured the license agreement to accommodate the requirement of this grant application. · A meeting was held with the Sheriff, the Department of Community Development, and the Prosecuting Attorney's Office to discuss the draft enforcement ordinance that will be brought forward to the Board. Part of the recommendation is that enforcement activities be handled by the Civil Division of the Sheriff's Office. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The only comment was a wish for a good growing season.

Community Development Update re: Port of Port Townsend Proposal Regarding Comprehensive Plan Amendment Relating to Limited Rural Scale Light Industrial Use at the Jefferson International Airport: Randy Kline advised that this meeting is an update on a proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment that will be coming forward as part of the 2003 amendment cycle. The Port wants to allow for some limited scale light industrial "non-aviation related" uses at the airport. Larry Crocket, Executive Director of the Port of Port Townsend reviewed the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The Board in Executive Session from 11 :30 to 11 :59 a.m. with the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, County Administrator and the Director of Community Development regarding actual litigation. From 2:00 to 2:59 p.m., there was a workshop regarding County capital facilities projects. Page 3 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 14, 2003 Discussion: Cost Estimates for Marrowstone Island Seawater Intrusion Monitoring Program and Timeline for Adopting Code Revisions to Comply with the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board Order: Dave Christensen, Natural Resource Manager explained that the PUD recently advised the County that their agreement is to do volunteer monitoring for the County and not "regulatory" monitoring. The cost estimates that staff originally gave the Board were based on having the PUD do all the monitoring. Four alternatives were suggested: 1) re-assign County staff to do monitoring, 2) hire additional staff to do monitoring, 3) contract out to a private firm for the monitoring, or 4) use volunteer High School students. If staff is re-assigned, some of the projects they are currently working on would have to be dropped. This would need to be very clear up front because a large part of the workload for the Natural Resources Department staff is used to leverage grants. David Goldsmith explained that the other departments are also limited when it comes to staff re-assignments. He noted that the Conservation District does water quality monitoring under contract with the County and they may be able to take on the extra monitoring. Commissioner Huntingford explained that they may be able to do the monitoring, but the samples would need to be shipped to a lab for processing. The Conservation District currently has an intern doing water quality monitoring and they also work with the High School. AI Scalf, Director of Community Development, explained that the original staff estimate for the implementation was $13,000 with half of the funding going to the PUD for the monitoring and the County departments dividing the remainder of the workload. DCD had planned to do the actual implementation to the building codes and building permits and Environmental Health said they would take care of the database, analysis, and the annual report. Commissioner Wrinkle suggested another option. She pointed out that there is a proactive group of property owners on the island who have been monitoring their wells for several years and they may be able to work with the PUD instead of having an independent contractor involved. Volunteers would need training and supervision and would need to follow specific criteria. Commissioner Huntingford pointed out that all of this monitoring is supposed to be voluntary. The timeline for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment was reviewed. Staff has asked the Planning Commission for their recommendation on this amendment by May 21 in order for the Board to meet the June 5 deadline. If the Board does not accept the Planning Commission's recommendation, the Board would have to hold a hearing on May 27. In order to meet the process timelines, the Board's hearing on the official control will have to be advertised before the Planning Commission's recommendation is received. The Board agreed that this hearing needs to be advertised. In addition, April 28 is the hearing date for the interim ordinance. Page 4 ør~ ~~ The discussion continued about options to solve the monitoring situation. The Board is scheduled to meet with the PUD Commissioners on April 22. Before that meeting, Dave Christensen will get some cost estimates for contracting out the monitoring. He will also talk to the Conservation District and get the figures to the Board regarding re-assigning staff to handle the work fTom the Natural Resource budget. Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 14, 2003 Phil Flynn and Tom McNerney, members of the Planning Commission sub-committee on seawater intrusion, mentioned several other issues that need to be addressed, including the process for applying restrictions ifthere is a certain level of degradation in an area. Tom McNerney also pointed out that the Hearings Board order directs that regulations be in place throughout the County within 180 days and not just on Marrowstone Island. Marine Resource Committee Appointment: Commissioner Huntingford moved to rescind the appointment of Callahan McVay to the Marine Resources Committee as the Commercial Fishing Industry representative because he is not an active commercial fisherman, and to advertise the opening for an active commercial fishing industry representative. Commissioner Wrinkle seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The Board recessed at the close of business on Monday and reconvened on Wednesday morning for a workshop about a letter they will send to update Glen Cove property owners regarding the Hearings Board appeal process.
