Rodgers County Administrator: David Goldsmith Clerk of the Board: Lorna Delaney MINUTES Week of January 26,2004 Chairman Glen Huntingford called the meeting to order. Commissioner Dan Titterness and Commissioner Patrick Rodgers were both present. Certificate Of Appreciation from the United Good Neighbors: Chairman Huntingford reported that he attended the United Good Neighbors luncheon last week. Jefferson County was awarded a Significant Company Match Certificate of Appreciation and Thanks for "a tremendous volunteer effort and contributions in support of the UGN 2003 Campaign." He thanked the County employees for their donations to UGN. "On the Road" Meetings: The Board discussed scheduling these informal "town meetings" in the evenings at the community centers. They began holding the "On the Road" meetings several years ago as a way to get out into the community and talk with people. The locations mentioned were: Brinnon, Quilcene, Tri Area, Port Ludlow, Gardiner, Coyle, Port Townsend and the Westend. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BRIEFING SESSION: Last week the Board had questions about the Regional Services Agreements with the City of Port Townsend. County Administrator David Goldsmith explained that approximately 3 years ago, when these contracts were negotiated, a formula was developed that is applied each year no matter which entity supplies the services. The following contracts were discussed. · Jail Contract: These costs are based on a cost allocation provided by the Auditor's Office. The actual costs are figured, including the overhead, and then they are divided by the jail's average daily population. This is the cost per inmate and it is applied to the number of City and County inmates. The costs for 2004 are calculated from 2002's actual budget. There is also a negotiated amount for "half day" rates depending on the time of day an inmate is incarcerated. Another issue that recently came up is the substantial increase in medical costs which the City pays for City inmates.

This amount is divided by the percentage of the caseload for the City and the County. The City's share for last year was 33% and their licensing fees are subtracted from this amount. · Information Services Contract: The County is the ISP for the City and a flat fee of $40,000 has been negotiated. Within the year, negotiations about expanding or narrowing the services will need to take place. The City recently hired a person with an IS background and this will probably affect the negotiations. · District Court: This is an amount based on City filings. The County, as the municipal court, provides the services and receives the revenue. · Health and Human Services Contract: The County contracts for specific services with the City that are usually over and above basic health care services. For example, the City was very involved with the Healthy Jefferson survey. There is no contract this year for additional health services, but Dr. Locke, Health Officer, and Jean Baldwin, Health Department Director, have approached the City about helping with Healthy Jefferson and the Maternal Child Health Program. David Goldsmith stated that the Community Investment Fund Board recently recommended that funding be awarded to the City of Port Townsend for the Upper Sims Way Improvement Project, the PUD for the Quilcene Well Project, the Port of Port Townsend for the Jackson Street Project and the County for the fiber optics project. As CIF Administrator, he has drafted letters of commitment to these entities regarding the conditions of the award. These letters will allow the entities to seek other grant funding. The CIF Board is set up by statute and ordinance and their recommendation is the final approval. The County administers the funds and interlocal agreements will be developed. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made: several neighbors and citizens commented on inhumane conditions on property where at least 10 dogs are being kept with limited or no care and the Board was asked to direct staff to address this issue immediately; enforcement of environmental health issues doesn't seem to be consistent when awful conditions for these dogs are allowed to exist but people with no money who have outhouses or sanicans for more than 2 years are issued citations; the Hood Canal Coalition is pleased that Congressman Dicks publicly announced his opposition to the "Pit-to-Pier Project" last week; there are now 51 organizations who have joined the HCC in opposition to the Fred Hill Materials project; a portion ofthe Bob Dietz column from Sunday's Bremerton Sun regarding future pollution from the Pit-to-Pier project was read; and a request that a spreadsheet be developed that shows the rates and fees that the County charges for individual services and equipment rental.
