(See Consent Agenda.) When the Inner Harbor plat was approved, there was a condition that no pennanent docks or buoys be allowed in the harbor. One of the divisions changed their CC&Rs to allow mooring buoys and 3 applications were made to the County which were approved. The applicants have been notified that the mooring buoys are not legal and need to be removed. A letter to the homeowners associations at Port Ludlow has been drafted that reiterates the County's original policy that mooring buoys are not allowed in the Inner Harbor. (See Consent Agenda.) The GEMS financial system is in the process of being implemented to replace the County's current system. During the process, it was discovered that the software had to be modified to allow for work orders and a bridge was necessary to allow the Assessor's and Treasurer's systems to work with the new system needed to be made. The original date for actual implementation of GEMS was January 1, 2004. This date will have to be delayed to allow at least 90 days for the new system to run parallel to the current system. The timeline of the contract is being amended and there are minimal added costs for training, onsite help for parallel testing, and a portion of the development costs for the work order system.

The surcharge would be used for low income housing. OlyCAP has submitted a proposal to use the funds and an interlocal agreement between the City of Port Townsend, Jefferson County, and OlyCAP. Dan Wollam, Executive Director ofOlyCAP, noted that Jefferson County needs more low income housing and this funding would be used for development and to preserve and protect the housing that is already here. They have worked with a consultant to develop and find funding for the South 7 project in Port Hadlock, but their goal is to have a person in house to do this work. In the interlocal agreement, they are proposing that 10% of the revenues go to other non-profit organizations in the County that deal with low income housing. A representative from the Jefferson County Housing Authority added that they support this proposal. The City Council has met on this issue and the City Manager has signed the agreement. The Board agreed to put the agreement on next week's Consent Agenda. Ann Avary, Economic Development Council re: 1) Small Business Incubator/Resource and Innovation Center; and 2) Coastal Revolving Loan Fund: Coastal Revolving Loan Fund Governmental Infonnation Fonn: Richard Coram from the State Department of Community Trade and Economic Development stated that this is a federally funded loan program designed to be leveraged with private money to promote economic development. The proposed project is the Mount Walker Inn located on 17 acres in Quilcene. It was in total disrepair when it was purchased and the 12 units have been refurbished and it is open for business. This loan requires a letter of support from the County Commissioners that they agree the business promotes economic development and is a benefit to the community. Commissioner Huntingford moved to have the Chair sign the infonnation fonn attesting that they support the loan. Commissioner Mackey seconded the motion that carried by a unanimous vote. 2003 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Planning Only Grant Pre-Application: Locating a Business Incubator/Resource and Innovation Center in Jefferson County: Ann Avary asked the Board to consent to be one of the government sponsoring entities for this grant application. She explained that a small business incubator provides a centralized location for emerging businesses and start-ups to access business services. Eighty-three percent of businesses that use an incubator have a much higher success and sustainability rate. The first step in the process is to do a feasability study. The City of Port Townsend would be the other government sponsor and the Economic Development Council is the co-recipient. This project will be put on the WCERT list for future funding for development after the feasability study is finished.

Commissioner Mackey seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. At 11 :00 a.m. the Board interviewed Pam Douglas-Smith who has expressed an interest in serving on the Jefferson County Developmental Disabilities Board. Warren Steurer, Parks and Recreation, and Rick Sepler, Madrona Planning re: Discussion of Iron dale Beach Master Plan Process: Warren Stuerer explained that this is 17 acres of unnamed park property adjacent to State Department ofFish and Wildlife property at Chimacum Creek. Rick Sepler will be facilitating the master plan process, working with the Community, Public Works staff, and the Parks Advisory Board. Rick Septer noted that he has met with many of the stakeholders on this project to get background information on the site and the goals for the property. The Department of Fish and Wildlife plans to do a salmon restoration project on their property and the County wants to work with them to integrate the two uses. A community open house for public input is scheduled on November 6. He will develop draft plans based on the information that he receives that will be presented at another open house on November 20. The cost and operations for the park will also be discussed at the open houses. The end result may be a combination of several plans and he hopes to get a consensus vision that fits the rules and would be reasonable for the site. He will then prepare a draft site plan based on the input and summarize all the information. The recommendation of the community will be brought forward to the Parks Advisory Board and the County Commissioners. Chainnan Titterness stated that a SEP A review has been done on this property and he asked if the County will be required to start all over again with a new review? Rick Sepler answered that the SEP A detennination may need to be amended. The Shoreline Plan may also need to be amended because the property is currently zoned industrial. Commissioner Huntingford noted that several meetings were held regarding this property a few years ago and there was a lot of input from the community at that time. He thinks that it is important to combine that infonnation with the new input they have received and present it all at the open house. He doesn't want people to think that the meetings they originally attended were a waste of time and they are having to start over again. Rick Sepler agreed that it is important to acknowledge all the work that has been done to date and not have to start at the beginning.
