On January 22, 2001, the Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to create Fund 602-
000-010—Road Improvement Guaranty Fund. The fund was required in conjunction with the
creation of Road Improvement District No. 4 and the sale of bonds to finance related road
improvements. Five thousand($5,000)was deposited into the fund upon its creation. The fund's
purpose was to help make bond payments to avoid a default in the event one or more property
owners failed to make required payments. The bonds have since been retired eliminating the need for
the Road Improvement Guaranty Fund.
Similarly, the Board established Fund 202-000-030 to account for funds associated with Road
Improvement District#1 and a related financing bond. This fund is inactive and no longer needed.
RCW 35.54.095 authorizes the transfer funds of this nature to the General Fund, by ordinance,
once the County Treasurer certifies there is no longer a need for these funds to help service the
related debt.
In addition, written testimony is also invited beginning on January 12, 2022 and ending on
January 24, 2022 at the end of the Public Hearing, unless extended by the Board of County
Commissioners. Written public testimony may be submitted by Email to:
jeffbocc@,co.iefferson.wa.us; or by Mail to: Jefferson County Commissioners' Office; PO
Box 1220, Port Townsend, WA 98368. Testimony must be received by the Board of County
Commissioners by the end of the hearing public comment period.
