Secretary, explained that the 911 Emergency Locator Ordinance which governs
the assignment of addresses in the County, tequires that more than 50% of the
property owners on a road sign a petition to change the road name. A petition
was received with 50% of the property own~rs on a portion of McMinn Road,
requesting that the name be changed to Pum~ Bluff Road. .
Eileen Simon further reported that a lett~r was received from a Mr. Walden
(610 McMinn Rd) stating that he wants to rescind his signature on the
petition that was circulated for this road ¡name change and that he wants the
road name to stay as it is. His withdrawal from the petition means that
there are less than 50% of the property owners along this portion of road who
have signed the petition.
The Sheriff's Department reviewed the requ~st and responded that the current
name is fine and the Public Works Department recommends against changing the
road name because it would be confusing toichange the name in the middle of
a road. .

Discussion Regarding the Need for a New Roof for the Port Townsend
commun~ty Center Gymnasium: Frank Gifford reported that the roof on the
gymnas~um at the Port Townsend Community Center is in very bad shape and it
is virtually impossible to tie the new roof into the old one. The liability
for activities in the gym is very high and water damage to the gymnasium
would be expensive to repair. It will cost approximately $6,500.00 to put
the new roof and gutters on this building.
since this is an emergency, Frank Gifford added, and since the contract work
on the rest of the project (which includes painting the gym) is proceeding,
this roofing work should be done at the same time. Frank Gifford asked that
the Board waive the requirement that this project be put out for bid and
allow him contact roofing companies for proposals.
Commissioner B. G.Brown moved to declare the re-roofing of the Port Townsend
Community Center gymnasium an emergency and to authorize the Project
Coordinator to formalize three proposals for this work and select the one
that is to the best advantage of the County. Commissioner Dennison seconded

Re'Dresentatives of Port Townsend Senior Association re: Port
Townsend Community Center: Boots Jones: Boots Jones, representing the Port
Townsend Senior Association, explained that since the Board has worked with
the Association, they know how important it is that the Seniors have the
space and time for their programs in the Port Townsend Community Center when
it is re-opened. The Association agrees that a Coordinator and a Senior
Center Board are needed to run the Center and presented a draft working
calendar for the Center. She added that the Seniors should have first chance
to fill the monthly calendar for their events, but if they want to schedule
an event after the calendar is out they will have to take the times that are
left.
The Association feels, Mrs. Jones continued, that any use of the Center by
the Senior Association should be free of charge since they have raised funds
for this renovation project. Any money raised by the Association in the
future will be used for the Senior programs and for improvements to the first
level of the building. She concluded by thanking the Board and the Public
Works staff for their work on the building.
Commissioner B. G. Brown stated that the Board would like the Senior
activities to take place in the building during reasonable hours. All of the
activities in the building need to be coordinated so that the use of the
building is maximized. The building is now designed to accommodate all of
the Senior activities better.
Mrs. Jones added that it is her understanding that more money will be needed
for the kitchen equipment. She reported that the money that has been raised
by the Association is currently invested in a certificate of Deposit (CD)
which is drawing a good rate of interest. She reported that this money could
be made available to the County in 30 days, if needed.
Wayne Hackett stated that the planning for this Center has been going on for
more than ten years and he is happy that this project is moving forward. The

role of the Seniors has to be addressed, and it is important that they have
the opportunity to give input on use of the Center. commissioner B. G. Brown
stated that it is important that the Seniors have the space available for
their programs at the time that they need it. commissioner Dennison added
that the beauty of the new building is that the space is arranged so that it
can be utilized better by all groups. commissioner B. G. Brown thanked all
of the Seniors for their patience and participation in this project over the
years.
Harold Gruver asked what the Board expects of the Seniors, as a group, once
the building is complete? Commissioner Dennison stated that communication
is the main job of all of the groups that will use this facili ty . The
purpose of the Center is to serve the Seniors and the public and the most
important aspect to facilitate that purpose is communication. Wayne Hackett
asked that if the County hires a Center Coordinator, if the Association would
have any input into who is hired for this position? commissioner B. G. Brown
stated that he would have no problem with a representative of the Senior
Association participating in the Interview Committee. The discussion
continued with the Board noting that if a person is hired and does not do the
job they are hired to do, the Seniors can always go to the Community Center
Advisory Board and/or to the County commissioners.
Boots Jones asked if the Association would be charged for use of space in the
building for their programs? commissioner B. G. Brown stated that there may
be some activities that don't fit into the mold of the regular Senior
programs and a charge for space may be imposed, but that he never envisioned
that the Senior Association would be charged for space for their regular
programs, in a manner that is any different than they were previously.

of 1990 Plans for EmDloyee Reooanition Event: Kathy Stafford, representing

Sheriff Mel Mefford reI Use of Metal Building' at the Airport:
Sheriff Mel Mefford reported that if the County purchases the metal
buildings that are currently located at the Airport, the Sheriff's Department
has a proposal for their use.
Ed Sasser explained that at any given time there are 20 or more inmates at
the jail that don't really need to be housed in a fully secure facility.
They need custody, but not necessarily at a maximum security facility. What
is needed is a place for people who are serving work release terms, or post
conviction detention time for a DWI conviction (soft bed detention center).
60 square feet per inmate is needed for prisoners in this type of special
detention facility. with all of the common areas that are required, one of
these buildings could house approximately 42 inmates. This building could
be placed behind the current jail facility.
Commissioner B.G. Brown stated that the cost of dismantling and re-assembling
these buildings is high. He asked what would be done about ki tchen
facilities? Ed Sasser reported that the kitchen facility at the jail would
be utilized and the food would be transported to this building. The Board
suggested that Ed Sasser meet with Frank Gifford to discuss this concept
further.
Frank Gifford. Architectural Coordinator and Geri Robison. Chairman
of the Records Manaqement/Micrographics committee reI Records Facility: Geri
Robison reported that the Records Management/Micrographic Committee has been
looking at several alternatives for storage space to house County records.
Frank Gifford has been working with the Committee to come up with a solution.
He reported that there is already a slab, stem walls, and electric service
for the building in the back parking lot of the Courthouse. He then
explained the design plans for this building. The Committee recommends that
a building be built on the cement foundation at the back of the Courthouse.
Geri Robison explained that Records Management consultant will be hired soon
to help all the County Departments inventory their records, set up retention
schedules for their documents and plan the use of this records storage space.
This building is not an archive for county records. All documents that are
permanent records will be microfilmed and the originals will be sent to the
State Archives in Bellingham. Geri Robison asked that the Board allow Frank
Gifford to prepare a call for bids for the work necessary to finish this
building. She further reported that the Committee has interviewed three
people for the Records Management consulting contract.
The Board concurred that Frank Gifford can work on the call for bids for this
building as recommended by the Records Management/Micrographic Committee.
The meeting was recessed at the end of the business day on Monday
evening and reconvened on Tuesday morning with all Board members present.
