seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

PUBLIC WORKS
AI Scalf re: Reactivatin2 Flood District Boards for the Bi2 Ouilcene and Dosew-
allips Rivers: Project Engineer Al Scalf reported that there is a renewed need to have local
participation in the management of the Quilcene and Dosewallips flood zones. He is requesting
that the Board reactivate the Flood District Boards for these rivers.
The flood districts were established by resolution in 1984. In the resolution, the description
of the Big Quilcene flood district did not include the Little Quilcene flood zone. There was a
discussion about combining these two zones by amending the resolution. Representatives from
Quilcene who were present agreed that forming a Flood District Board would be beneficial for
the community.
Al Scalf explained that according to RCW, each board would consist of five members who
would be citizens at large. In addition, he would represent the County in an advisory capacity
and the Conservation District would be represented. Commissioner W ojt moved to reactivate
the Quilcene and Dosewallips Flood District Boards and direct staff to advertise for the five
vacant positions for each flood zone. Commissioner Hinton seconded the motion which carried
by a unanimous vote.
AI Scalf re: Update on the Bil: Ouilcene River Restoration Project: Al Scalf
explained that the primary goal of this project is the enhancement of the summer chum run on
the Quilcene River. There are several agencies involved in the process. The consultants have
done preliminary studies; but a scope of work has not been agreed upon by all the agencies.
As a result, the construction scheduled for July 1995 will not be possible. U.S. Fish and
Wildlife will pull funding if the construction is not done this summer. Phased construction
would be another option for this project. This could include gravel management in the summer
of 1995 and construction in 1996.
Molly Pearson re: Community Response to Growth Mana2ement Ouest ions:
Molly Pearson presented the Board with the final report on responses from the Growth
Management articles that were published in The Leader. The people who responded listed their
main areas of concern as water and rural character. Population and traffic are also areas of
importance. Comments about clustering are included in the report. The feedback from citizens
regarding the newspaper articles and the community meetings was very positive.
.Jeff Chapman re: Community Group Mailinl: of Maps: IDMS Coordinator Jeff
Chapman reported that he has been asked to create two sets of maps of the 15 community
planning areas. These maps would show current densities and zoning and future densities and
zoning if the new community plans were adopted. Currently, they do not have enough data to
produce the maps. In addition, Planning Staff has not produced a designation coding system.
Assessor Jack Westerman is requesting that when these maps are drafted, Senior Planner James
Holland review all information on them before they are reI eased to the public. After a brief
discussion, the Board concurred that the IDMS staff keep this project on hold until they receive
the necessary data from the Planning Commission and the Planning Department.
