Goldsmith ~~~~6r~~'~ (~~ -~- )~~~, J ( <C\ ~ C¡ ) MINUTES WEEK OF OCTOBER 16, 1995 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Glen Huntingford in the presence of Commissioner Robert Hinton and Commissioner Richard W ojt. Jack Westerman, Jefferson County Assessor re: Tax Payer RelieflProp- erty Tax Reform: Assessor Jack Westerman stated that this draft resolution has been adopted by the Washington State Association of Counties, Washington State Association of Assessors and the Washington Association of County Officials. He added that statistics for 1992 to the present from the State Department of Revenue indicate that property taxes are increasing faster than most property owner's incomes. He feels the only way to enact significant property tax reform is to eliminate the State school levy on property taxes. Commissioner Hinton moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 93A-95, endorsing State legislation for property tax relief. Commissioner W ojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. A copy of the resolution and supporting information will be sent to State Legislators. David Goldsmith, Deputy Director of Public Services re: CDL Drug and Alcohol Testing re: David Goldsmith stated that CDL testing is a State and Federal unfunded mandate. The County is required to develop a policy and procedure for random drug and alcohol testing of employees holding commercial driver's licenses. This policy must be in place by January 1, 1996. The Association of Washington Cities has a program to deal with testing. He asked that the Board sign an agreement with the A WC to join their consortium. There is an annual fee for the County and an annual fee per each CDL employee. The program would cover random testing for all the CDLs in the County. He added that this will be the only cost for testing, although costs for follow up and treatment would be additional. In addition a program must be set up to investigate traffic accidents. Commissioner Hinton moved to approve the agreement with A WC for drug and alcohol testing consortium services. Commissioner W ojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

There was a brief discussion about unresolved issues in the Tri Area. Gary Rowe asked direction from the Board on whether the Planning Commission should take the present plan to public hearing rather than hold more workshops because of the time line for adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. · Kitsap County's Comprehensive Plan was overturned by the Central Hearings Board.
