Commissioner Robert Hinton and Commissioner Glen Huntingford were both present. Assessor Jack Westerman re: Open Sµace Transfers from Classified to Desie- nated Forest Land: Commissioner Hinton reported that he asked the Assessor to explain the procedures for placing properties in the classified and designated forest land classification. Jack Westerman reported that classified and designated forest land parcels are at least 20 acres in size and are used for the commercial growth and harvest of timber. There is a problem when the property is exactly 20 acres and the property owner wants to keep one acre for a homesite. Jefferson County handles this by placing the balance (19 acres) in the Open Space timber designation. The State Department of Revenue advises that this is the proper way for the County to handle these situations. Other counties in this area handle this the same way, except Clallam County which allows the 19 acres as classified and designated forest land. The Planning Department handles Open Space Timber applications and there is a $325.00 fee required. These applications are then reviewed by the Hearing Examiner. The application fee for classified and designated forest land applications is $7.00 (the filing fee). The discussion turned to ways to make this process easier for the property owner and how this designation will work and fit into the Growth Management regulations for resource lands. Commissioner Hinton asked the Assessor to submit his ideas on how this process can be improved. District Court Clerk Hire re: Extension of Work Period for Temporary Position: Commissioner Hinton moved to approve a two week extension of the time for the temporary, clerk hire position in the District Court Office.
