E .C . Gockerell, D .N.R. , Area Manager, Forks , appeared re: State Forest Practices Act.
He Mated the D.N.R. has administered the act since 1946 and they feel they are better
qualified to handle the natural resources of the counties then to have each county take care
of their own. Also, they have the funding and if administered by them, would eliminate
duplication of work. He presented a copy of the bill proposed by afew counties for takeover
of administration of the Act by the counties . Commissioner Brown explained these counties
have had conflicts in land use planning and therefore hope to have more authority through
this bill Only stipulation this Board requests is notification by the D.N.R. of any pro-
posed plans within the county. Mr. Gockerell requests the Board write a letter to the Ad
Hoc, House Natural Resources Committee endorsing the Act with one administrator. Board
will check further before letter is written.
Hearing for Formation of "Coyle Water District" . Attending are: Michael E . Sharpe, Ken
Bainford, F.R. Houghton and H.A. Covert. Mr. Bainford stated the petition was signed by
only eight registered voters out of at least 165 property owners and he feels that all pro-
perty owners should be notified before 'the district is formed due to the costs involved.
Commissioner O'Meara advised that the State has a moratorium on the formation of water
and sewer districts where a Basins Study hasn't been completed and therefore, the Board
could not approve of this district at the present time . He believes the study including the
Coyle area will be completed by the end of the year. Motion by Commissioner O'Meara,
second by Commissioner Brown to table petition until completion of water basins study.
Unanimous . Board recommends the community dig a well to increase their water supply
until a district can be formed and to notify the property owners of the proposed plans .
Roger French and Helen Burns appeared re: Historical Society. Request supplemental
appropriation for 1973 . They informed that due to: (1) the museum being open much more
than anticipated at budget time, because of heavy tourist trade; and (2) a request from the
Board of Directors for a complete inventory and cataloging of all items in the museum; the"
salaries of Director, Assistant Director and Librarian have been depleted and cannot be
paid for the remainder of the year . They presented a letter accounting for the income and
expenditures to date for 1973 and request and additional $4,000. Motion by Commissioner
O'Meara, second by Commissioner Brown to grant this request. Unanimous . Resolution
No. 39-73 approved and signed as follows:
Sunny Peterson, Eva Taylor, Mae Beuter and Grace Umbarger appeared re: County's pro-
gress on proposed horse trails . Commissioner Brown explained that the only progress has
been talking to Pope & Talbot and getting them to agree to incorporate horse trails along
with bicycle trails at Port Ludlow. Engineer Becker explained that the biggest problem
is not having sufficient right of way along all county roads to use as horse trails , and
also, he does not have extra manpower at this time to make surveys . He said the Engineer's
Dept. will flag the right of way on the Oak Bay Road as soon as possible this year.
Motion by Commissioner O'Meara, second by Commissioner Brown to approve the minutes
