Commissioner with Frank space in the West End Maintenance Crew: Public Works Director reported that the Public Works Department lead man in the West End is retiring which will leave a two person crew to handle all of the maintenance work in that area. A maintenance contract with the retired lead man, was suggested, for grading the QUinault South Shore Road. He could use an old grader that is out at the West End. This would save money because of the long travel time required to get personnel from the main shop out to that area. All of the surfacing and major repair work would still be done by the County.

The easement documents were prepared, but there are two property owners that will not sign the documents.

Assistant Planner Rachel Nathanson reported that the County is not responsible for enforcing covenants that have been put on to a plat as part of the Plat's development.
