Three points are coming to light, Ms. Brice reported: 1) The system of senior ci tizen services that currently exists works well because the people working in the various agencies work well together, but, it is a complex system. The Task Force discussions are bringing all the participants in the system to the realization that the structure needs to be revised to be a single entry system that is clearly defined. 2) Volunteers are the expandable resource. If the volun- teer program is given some structure, focus and care the program will grow. The Task Force will be making specif ic suggestions to better utilize the. volunteer program. 3) More information is needed to answer the questions being asked. It has been found that the Assessor's office is one of the largest Senior service providers in 3efferson County. There are 811 senior citizen households in the county that are provided a cash benefit by the Asses- sor's Office in the form of a reduction in their taxes. These are the people who are just above the income level that are provided assistance by the State and are the people that are the hardest pressed to get the services that they need. The Assessor's office is in touch with the people that the Senior Task Force needs to identify. The issue is how much information can the Assessor's Office share with the Task Force about these people. 3eff Chapman, Office Manager, for the Assessor's Office stated that their office is very careful about providing information on groups of citizens, such as those in a certain income group, which might be used for solicitation purposes, because the citizen might be upset that the County gave out this information about them. The Prosecuting Attorney has been asked for an opinion on what kind of information can be provided to the Task Force. Ms. Brice reported that any information provided to them would be kept secure. The Board will check into the regulations on providing information of this type from the County tax rolls and let the Task Force know what they find out. [VOl 13 fAcr ,0 3313 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of September 28, 1987 Page: 2 Palmer Osborn, Senior Task Force member, stated that the Task Force has yet to plan how they would use any information provided, but they will be working on this is in their next meeting. Beverly Brice invited the Board to attend the next meeting of the Task Force to participate in the discussion which will be scheduled in late November or early December.

Maynard Bill: Puaet Sound Power & Liaht: Planning and Building Department Director, David Goldsmith, reviewed this proposal by puget Power and Light Company to place a communications tower on Maynard Hill (above Gardiner). Andy Padvorac of puget Power explained that the company needs to maintain its' own communication system so that in an emergency communication is not interrupted when it is needed most. puget Sound Power and Light has a system in place and this tower will upgrade one link in that system. This proposal is for the installation of a 150 foot tower on property owned and already developed by the Bonneville Power Administration. The BPA has re-fenced the site and installed an emergency generator for power, and they have their radio communication building installed. puget Power's agreement with BPA is to install the tower. Fourteen puget Power antennae as well as. antennae owned by BPA will be mounted on the tower. puget Power will also be putting a pre-fabricated communications building on the site as well. Mr. Padvorac noted that the company will have no problem complying with the conditions of approval that have been recommended by the Planning Department . He then showed a video tape of the site. The environmental checklist was then reviewed by David Goldsmith who noted two main areas of concern: 1) Electromagnetic energy at the site and possible exposure to people in the area: Two mitigative measures have been suggested on this project: one deals with the amount of micro-watts per square centimeter that can be released to the earth below the control of this com- pound. A heal th risk occurs for any amount released over and above 200 micro-watts per square centimeter. Since this site is remote with no residences within one mile of it and the concentration of micro-watts would be greatest at the point of the receiver, this measure i'VOl .fa fACE O. 3315 ,; , " Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of September 28, 1987 Page: 4 should be sufficient to protect against any possible health risk. The energy level drops radically after the transmission travels 1110th of a mile, Mr. Padvorac reported. A puget Power engineer, James Nolan, presented an exhibit that illustrated the energy levels over distance. The discussion continued regarding the nature of electromag- netic energy as it travels over distance. 2) Aviation and transportation in and around the site: Because of the height of the tower the FAA has indicated that some type of lights should be placed on the tower. Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to issue and Determination of Non- Significance and Lead Agency Status for the puget Power communication tower project with the mitigative measures as suggested by the Planning Department. Commissioner George Brown seconded the motion. State Environmental PoliCY Act Review: Qualitv Construction Office & Shop. 'Oak Bav Road. Port Ludlow: Mark Moriartv: This proposed project is to include the construction of a 5,000 square foot shop and office facility next to the John Lea and Sons Construction Company property in Port Ludlow (at the intersection Paradise Bay Road and Oak Bay Road). A storage yard is also planned, David Goldsmi th reported. Since the 30hn Lea and Sons site is commercial, this site would also be considered a commercial site. Nine mitigative measures have been suggested to deal with the following impacts that came to light in the environmental checklist review: Site clearing (3/4 of acre), the building, parking space requirments, signs, ingress and egress, septic and drainfield system, and the provision for water from the Port Ludlow Utility Company. These mitigative measures have been reviewed with the applicant and he concurs with them. Commissioner B. G. Brown moved to issue and Determination of Non- Significance and Lead Agency status on the Quality Construction project to include the mitigative measures as recommended by the Planning Department. Commissioner George Brown seconded the motion. State Environmental Policy Act Review: Development of Commercial Oyster Production Operation. Killapie Beach, Termination Point: Jan Shriner: ' This project, David Goldsmith reported, is to develop some property along Killapie Beach into a commercial oyster production area. An oyster growing experiment has been on-going in this area over the last year. Up to 400 oyster racks are proposed to be placed on an area of the beach that extends from plus two feet to a minus four feet tidal elevation. The oysters are rotated in the area to hardened their shells. Most of the work is done from the water side by boat. The shoreline permit granted for the experimental project will be expanded for the commercial production. There is no upland .housing in this area, but a concern has been raised by a property owner in the Killapie Beach Plat that the protective covenants in the plat do not allow commercial development. The protective covenants in a plat are not enforced by the County. Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to issue and Determination of Non- Significance and Lead Agency Status for this proposal for a commercial oyster production operation at Termination Point. Commissioner George Brown seconded the motion.

Johnson re: Bistorical Research of County Court- house: Mr. Edwin 30hnson came before the Board with a proposal to do historical research on the 3efferson County Courthouse. He explained tha t he lives in Lynnwood and works for Green Peace. Whi Ie he was living in Corvallis Oregon, Mr. 30hnson stated he became interested in the Courthouse there and did comprehensive research and wrote a report on its' history for the County. Mr. 30hnson gave the Board a draft copy of the manuscript he developed for ____ County. Mr. 3ohnson further stated that he is interested in the 3efferson County Courthouse because it was built in about 1890 and that he would be interested in doing research and writing a history of it which could be produced by the county possibly in conjunction with a centennial celebration for the building. Mr. 30hnson stated that he has no idea how much it would cost to do the necessary research for the book, and then there would publication costs. It could cost as much a $25,000 just for the research. Chairman Dennison asked if Mr. 30hnson has any funding source other than the County? Mr. 30hnson advised that he is not aware of any at this time, but that he does not expect the County to give him an answer today regarding such a project. Chairman Dennison suggested he get in touch with the 3efferson County Historical Society to see if they would be interested in funding such a project. The meeting was recessed on Monday afternoon to allow the Board to attend a Transit Authority meeting. The meeting reconvened on Tuesday morning with all Board members present and the following business was conducted after meetings with the Superior and District Court 3udges: the Human Services Coordinator; the State Auditor and the Public Works Director.
