COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BRIEFING SESSION: County Administrator David Goldsmith reviewed the following items: · A few weeks ago, the Board adopted an Enforcement Policy but the final language changes that the Board asked for weren't included. Since then, other comments to clarify the policy language have been suggested. He reviewed the changes. The departments have not implemented the policy yet and the Enforcement Officer position hasn't been advertized. The revised policy will be on the agenda next week. · The painting of the Courthouse interior hallways was completed this weekend. The Courthouse project also includes replacement of some of the lighting fixtures to a more appropriate architectural style. · Last week he met with several Elected Officials from the Law and Justice Departments and Health Department Director Jean Baldwin about the administration of the funding from the State Department of Corrections for the Drug Court. It was agreed that the funds will be transferred into the Superior Court budget and the Court will oversee this funding. · The County and the UFCW will meet on August 14 regarding the grievance about medical benefits, In order to make the July payroll (payable on August 5), a draft resolution adjusting the percentage of employees' contributions to the Retail Clerk's Welfare Trust for medical costs will need to be on next week's agenda. On June 1, the costs for medical benefits increased much more than was anticipated during the union negotiations. · The Revenue sub-committee met last week to review trends to see ifthere will be extra revenue for the General Fund this year. Most revenue sources are running as predicted without any substantial increase. There is concern about the PIL T funds because the distribution method the County chose for the Title II and Title III funding may determine the amount ofPILT funds that are received.

David Christensen, Natural Resource Division re: Lower Hadlock Shellfish Warning: Environmental Health Director Larry Fay briefed the Board last week about this designation and it was also discussed at the Health Board meeting. Dave Christensen explained that this is the first time in Jefferson County that water quality data has indicated that continued degradation could possibly result in closure of commercial shellfish beds. There are several other sampling sights in the lower Hadlock area that have not registered a problem. The samplings are taken 6 times a year and the readings are usually higher in May and September. Next week a walking sight visit to the area is planned with a representative from the State Department of Health and staff from the Environmental Health and Public Works Departments. They will be looking for obvious sources of pollution and will take water samples. Commissioner Huntingford asked about the methodology that is used to analyze the data? Larry Fay explained that the data is taken over a 5 year period. Each year a year is added and a year is removed. In the mid 1990s, the water quality in the area was pristine, but in 1998-1999 the coliform numbers were very high. Right now readings from 1998-1999 are included in the averaging which results in a higher number. MEETING AD,TOûRNED J. . . " , J ì"' ~'l :'.
