Brown, Chairman Board of Jefferson County Commissioners Jefferson County Courthouse Port Townsend, Washington Re: Fire Protection District No. 7 Dear Chairman Brown: As you will recall, we have had quite a bit of discussion of the establishment of Fire Protection District No. 7, in the West End of Jefferson County. After examining the statute and receiving an opinion from the State Attorney General, it is prudent to have the Fire Protection District be one contiguous entity. By including the Clearwater Road in the Fire Protection District, the District as proposed would be one contiguous entity. Unfortunately, to include the part of the District that includes the Clearwater School, we would have to include part of State Route 101, which we do not have the authority to do at this particular time. I see no legal reason why we cannot simply add to the legal description proposed by the advocates of the proposed district, the legal description of the Clearwater Road. We would, however, have to delete the legal description of the land that includes the Clearwater School. There is also no legal reason why a new petition would have to be signed by the citizens in the area inasmuch as the area that we are adding to the District, to -wit, the Clearwater Road, is uninhabited, thus it is my considered opinion that with the change legal description, which I have attached hereto, that this matter can appear on the ballot on Tuesday, the 14th day of September, without any further action required from the citizens that would be served by the Fire Protection District.
