COMMISSIONERS' BRIEFING SESSION Bob Minty re: Special Event Permit; Hood Canal Shrimp Fest; Brinnon: Emergency Management Coordinator Bob Minty reported that this is the first time the Brinnon Shrimp Fest has applied for a special event permit. The festival is to provide more activities for the people who come for the opening of the shrimping season. The number of people expected is lower than required for a special event permit, but the Prosecuting Attorney felt that because so many places in the community will be involved in the festival activities, a permit is necessary. Not all of the problems have been worked out for the street dance. Bob Minty will be working with the committee to solve these problems. He suggested that this item be tabled until these details are worked out. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Huntingford moved to approve the Minutes of May 2, 1994 as presented. Commissioner Wojt second- ed the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. GMA Update: Senior Planner James Holland stated that he is finishing the environmental checklists for the forest and mineral land ordinan- ces. Lesa Barnes reported that the summary of the Zoning Ordinance will be published next Wednesday for a public hearing on the May 23, 1994. Steve Ladd added that the "Blue Book" section on roles and responsibilities is being re-written based on the recommendations of Robin McClelland the consultant that reviewed it. The draft will be submitted to the Planning Commission on May 25, 1994. He reported that he will have the two part time Planners interview people and prepare a draft work program for the Comprehensive Plan update.

A meeting between the Planning Commission and the Board of Commissioners has been arranged for Thursday at 7:00 p.m. to discuss goals, policies, and process. The meeting will be held in the Public Works Conference Room. Steve Ladd then reported on the meeting last week between Ken Olson and citizens of the Tri Area regarding development of the Tri Area element. Lesa Barnes pointed out that the Planning Commission has been given a draft of the Storm water Ordinance to review and report on for the Board. They have asked that this request be put in writing. They will be reviewing this or- dinance on May 25, 1994. She asked when the Board would like the report back from the Planning Commission? The Board concurred that they would like the report the first week in June. Lesa Barnes added that tomorrow is the next meeting with the community planning groups. Gary Rowe said that he will be attending a meeting in Chimacum regarding the City's water chlorination project.

Commissioner Wojt moved to adopt the hearing examiner's recommendation and approve conditional use permit #IZ59-93. Chairman Hinton seconded the motion in the temporary absence of Commissioner Huntingford. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. Shoreline Commission Recommendation re: SSDP#93-0012; To Construct a Water Line to Extend and Upl!rade An ExistinJ! Water System; S outhp oint; Bridllehaven Community Club Association: Com- missioner W ojt moved to approve the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit #93-0012 as submitted. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion. Chairman Hinton stated that he sees little need for the last part of condition #2. Jim Pearson reported that the right-of-way and actual road locations have been clarified. Marking the wetland, was suggested to keep any debris from being accidentally placed in the wetland. He added that condition 2 was revised and now does not require that the wetland be marked. Jim Pearson then read the revised condition which did not require marking the wetland. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. Preliminary Plat Approval; LP09-93; Hazel Point LarJ!e Lot Subdivision Lonll Plat; Pacific Fundinll Corporation: Commissioner W ojt moved to issue preliminary plat approval for the Hazel Point Large Lot Subdivision Long Plat #LP09-93. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Adoption of the Interim Critical Areas Ordinance: Senior Planner James Holland reported that draft 8 of the Critical Areas Ordinance has been completed. He then reviewed the changes made to the ordinance as requested by the Board. Commissioner Wojt said that on page 5, item 37, which says ". . . these regula- tions do not seek to provide absolute protection," he feels does not need to be in this ordinance. Commissioner Huntingford noted that providing absolute protection is impossible and this statement is true. Commissioner Wojt stated that he feels it would be easier for certain groups to attack if this wording is left in the ordinance. VOL 20 rAŒ 761 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of May 9, 1994 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Commissioner Wojt then questioned page 11 (36) where the definition sounds like one net acre instead of one gross acre. Senior Planner James Holland explained that the definition of high intensity land use would make this effective in subdivisions located within unincorporated IUGA boundaries. The discussion turned to page 12 and the definition of low intensity uses. James Holland suggested that lines 14 and 15 be deleted. Commissioner Wojt agreed that these lines be deleted. Commissioner W ojt asked for clarification on the reports being required by the County through this ordinance. James Holland explained that the issue of payment for special reports is addressed on page 58 (lines 11 through 13,) and in the fee schedule listed in appendix A. Commissioner Huntingford asked how these requirements will be applied? James Holland reported that the applicant will pay for the cost of special reports and the County will charge the applicant a flat fee of $100 for review of the reports and if the review takes longer than five hours, an hourly fee for additional time will be charged. Mark Huth added that the ordinance clearly states that the applicant is responsible for the cost of special reports. He noted that if the applicant submits a special report and the County doesn't have anyone on staff to review the report the County would pay for any consultant required to do that review. Chairman Hinton stated that he opposes building and septic permits being used as triggering permits under this ordinance. He doesn't feel that the County is aware of the economic impact of this upon the County staff. He feels this ordinance does little to be consistent with the purpose of balancing the goals of GMA. Commissioner Wojt moved to adopt and approve ORDINANCE NO. 05-0509- 94 striking number 37, page 5, and deleting lines 14 and 15 (section 43A - to make consistent with gross acre wording in the lUG A ordinance) on page II. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion and then amended the motion to add an effective date of 60 days which will allow a window for implementa- tion. Included in the motion was the requirement that a monitoring and tracking system for this ordinance be implemented, and that a cost benefit analysis be done for it. Commissioner Wojt agreed to the amendment to his motion. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion. Commissioner Wojt and Commissioner Huntingford voted for the motion. Chairman Hinton voted against the motion. The motion carried. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Bruce Laurie. Public Works Transportation Pro2"ram Manaa-er re: Transportation Plannina- Advisory Board Vacancy: Transportation Program Manager Bruce Laurie reported that one member of the Transporta- tion Advisory Board has resigned. According to the by-laws of this committee an advertisement is to be run and a new member appointed. At the last Advisory Board meeting it was suggested that Tom Berg who is a member of the Planning Commission has served as a liaison to this Advisory Board be appointed as a formal member because he has been involved in this process. The members of this Advisory Board were appointed for the duration of the project, not to terms of a specific length. Commissioner W ojt moved to appoint Tom Berg to the Transportation Planning Advisory Board, if he is willing to serve. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

Two (2) Letters of ReQuest for Continuation of Hearine': Conditional Use Application: Middlepoint Land Conservancy: After reviewing request letters from Gene C. and Glenda Krotke and Michael and Heidi Lessmeier requesting a continuation of the public hearing scheduled for the Middlepoint Land Conservancy's conditional use application for two bed and breakfast home businesses, the Board members concurred that the requests be denied and that the hearing be held on the originally scheduled date of May 17, 1994 at 10:00 a.moo Discussion of A2"reement for Community Services Grant Fund- ine': 1994: Teen Resource Center. Port Hadlock: Community Services Director David Goldsmith reported that he has prepared a community service grant contract for $5,000 for funding the Teen Resource Center in Port Had- lock. The County provided funding last year for the Teen Center which was to be a one time expenditure. Bernie Donaburg, Coordinator of the Teen Resource Center, reported that this program was started through some grant monies from the County Department of Health and Human Services. The County's money was used to pay for rent, utilities and the Coordinator's salary. He reported that about $12,000 was received in total from the County last year, with part of the funding coming from State grants handled by the Health and Human Services Department. The intent last year was to help the Center become independent. They have looked and made applications for funding and have done fund raising, but there isn't enough funding to keep the Teen Center open without the County's help. He then reported on a building fund and contributions from contractors to expand the Center into a larger garage on the same property. He reported that they need funding to pay the rent, utilities and staff salaries. They expect to get funding from UGN. There are agencies that provide grants but the funding can not be used for operating expenses. There is a State bill that may provide some funding next year for extending the hours of the Teen Center. He reported that he wrote the request for $10,000 which he feels will keep the Center open the rest of the year, but $5,000 would mean that the Center would have to close earlier in the year. Chairman Hinton asked if there is any volunteer support at the Center? Mr. Donaburg reported that anyone that works at the Center needs training. The volunteers are very carefully selected. Chairman Hinton asked what the future of the Center will be if funding isn't available as expected through this new State bill? Mr. Donaburg said that he feels the Center will close, especially if the County doesn't continue to provide support for the program. David Goldsmith reported that the Bill being discussed did not pass the legislature. Another bill (SB2319) passed which placed the pieces of youth funding together under the Juveniles Services system which has it's emphasis on criminal programs rather than on preven- tion programs. Bernie Arthur stated that the kids he has heard from in the community say that the Center is a wonderful place to go, but it isn't open enough. He feels it's necessary to give the kids a positive place to go. He urged the County to come up with the money.

Michelle Sanchez said that there is a good core group of volunteers that work with the administrative duties and fund raising for the Center. The Teen Center provides a sense of belonging for the youth of the area. Commissioner Wojt asked what kind of support the Kively Center, Reed's, etc. have been able to give? Ms. Sanchez reported that Susie's Bakery provides food every week and so will Reed's when asked. Peninsula Video has provided videos for the Center. David Goldsmith suggested that the Board direct the Teen Center to look to working with and through the Law and Justice Council for support and help with funding. Commissioner Wojt moved to approve the contract with the Teen Center for $5,000 and to work to see that the Teen Center stays open. Chairman Hinton seconded the motion in the absence of Commissioner Huntingford. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. Discussion of Aneement for Community Service Grant Fund- inJ! 1994; Port Townsend Senior Center: David Goldsmith reported that the Port Townsend Senior organization has requested funding from the County for their programs at the Port Townsend Community Center. This contract is modeled after the Brinnon Senior contract. Vern Jones, representing the Port Townsend Senior Association, reported that they have reviewed this agreement and feel that it should reflect and state clearly that it is for the upper level of the Center only. The Board of the Port Townsend Senior Association gave permission for signing this agreement. Commissioner Wojt moved to approve the agreement with the Port Townsend Senior Association with the wording amended to indicate that it is only to cover the upper floor of the Community Center. Chairman Hinton seconded the motion in the absence of Commissioner Huntingford. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. Request for Quarterly Allocation; County Tourism CoordinatinJ! Council: Commissioner W ojt moved to approve the payment of two quarters allocation from the Jefferson County Hotel/Motel Tax Fund to the Jefferson County Tourism Coordinating Council. Chairman Hinton seconded the motion in the absence of Commissioner Huntingford. The motion carried. Lois Smith. Juvenile and Family Court Services Director re: HB2319; Family Services RestructurinJ!; Development of a Community Network: Juvenile and Family Court Services Director Lois Smith explained that a number of current programs that are funded by the State can be reviewed by a local community committee for possible restructuring (HB2319.) She explained that the cities, counties, Chambers of Commerce and the School District are groups that are identified to appoint three members to a "network" which will have specific duties under this restructuring program. The membership of the 23 Community Public Health and Safety Network consists of 13 members who have no fiduciary interests (3 each appointed by: Chambers of Commerce, County legislative authority, City legislative authority, School Board members of school districts, and 1 nominated High School student selected by student organizations within the boundary) and 10 members which include representatives of the following groups (cities, counties, parks and VOL 20 rAC~ 764 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of May 9, 1994 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . recreation, Superior Court Judges, Indian tribes, law enforcement agencies, State children's service workers, employment assistance workers, private social, educational or health service provides, and broad-based nonsecular organiza- tions.) She reported that it is up to the agencies identified to decide how they will pick who will serve on this network. She advised that people wishing to serve on this network need to be willing to learn and work. The network will recommend to the State the boundary for the network. The statutes indicate that the network should not cover an area with a population of less than 40,000. There is provision for the County to ask to be a stand alone network, which will be the first decision that the network will have to make as a recommendation to the State. The ultimate outcome of the work of the network, including review and allocation of funding, is to reduce violence. Chairman Hinton asked if there will be any political advantage to the County being a stand along network, instead of being part of a network with another County? Lois Smith reported that there will be an attempt to recognize any network by its defined boundary. Port Townsend Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tim Caldwell asked how much money the Jefferson County network would be dealing with? Health Department Nursing Director Jean Baldwin stated that there is $6 million statewide. She added that currently the network is to review and refine the needs of the network area. Funding streams will not be changed by the network until about 1998. Sheriff Mel Mefford asked if this is new money? Lois Smith reported that the $6 million is new money. There is also going to be shuffling of current funding. The discussion continued regarding the funding, the 14 programs funding streams that will be under consideration for changes, and the amount of funding for many of these programs being inadequate currently. Lois Smith reported that another meeting has been scheduled for May 17, 1994 at the Tri Area Community Center at 6 p.m. with as many of the people who have been identified in this bill to discuss it and what must be done, and the time frame for what needs to be done. Lois Smith reported that no agency is identified as the convening authority for this network. Commissioner Wojt asked if the Law and Justice Council could act as the convening body? Lois Smith reported that they could be the agency to convene this process. She reported that at the last tele-conference meeting, the Cooper- ative Extension Agent took the lead, but that remains to be seen. Someone from Community Action or the Health Department could also take over convening this process. Lois Smith suggested convening a task force to determine what the network boundary should be. The State will be sending resource people to discuss how this process will work. The date for that meeting has not been set yet. Curfew: Chairman Hinton asked that the curfew issue be discussed briefly. Jim Newton reported that in his opinion curfews are hard to enforce. It could be used as a tool for selective enforcement, but there is a danger that it would destroy trust being developed with the kids. Chairman Hinton asked if the Police Chief knows what the feelings of the community are? Chief Newton reported that there are strong feelings on both sides of the issue. He reported that he has been told that there will be a petition circulated asking for a curfew. Sheriff Mel Mefford stated that he feels it would be an expensive form of babysitting. It would cause a problem for the Deputies to enforce. VOL 20 r~r,~ 765 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of May 9, 1994 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
