Fischbach Clerk of the Board: Lorna Delaney MINUTES Week of September 19, 2005 Chairman Phil Johnson called the meeting to order in the presence of Commissioner David W. Sullivan and Commissioner Patrick M. Rodgers. Discussion and Possible Approval re: Comment Letter Concerning Dosewallips Road Washout EIS: County Administrator John Fischbach presented the second draft of a letter to the Olympic National Forest Supervisor and the Olympic National Park Superintendent regarding the Board's comments on the Dosewallips Road alternatives. Commissioner Rodgers stated that he does not feel that the comments in the letter are consistent with the discussions regarding the road that the Board has had up to this point. Commissioner Sullivan noted that he feels he is not sure he has enough specific information to make a decision on the Board's preferred alternative. Chairman Johnson stated that he talked with several government agencies and 221 trees would need to be removed to put in the road through endangered species territory. He feels that this would be devastating. Commissioner Rodgers replied that this is a National Park that belongs to everyone. It isn't private property and people need access to the Park. An acceptable route needs to be found that does the least amount of damage. The discussion continued about the proposed road standards and the studies that have been done to date on the project. The Board agreed that the science should dictate a result that has the minimum environmental impact. They also agreed to support the preferred alternative which is a single lane road without a bridge, and that they do not support the "no action" alternative. Commissioner Rodgers moved to have the Board sign the comment letter stating that they support the preferred alternative and that the "no action" alternative (#1) is unacceptable. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Discussion and Possible Approval of Resolution re: Petition the Governor and the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission to End Day-Use Parking Fees: John Fischbach stated that this resolution requesting that parking fees for day-use at State parks be discontinued will be sent to Governor Gregoire and the State Parks Commission. It suggests that State Parks fund parks and park maintenance through the regular legislative budget and appropriations process. Page 1 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of September 19, 2005 Commissioner Rodgers moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 59-05 petitioning an end to day-use parking fees at all State parks. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Emergency Management Program Manager Bob Hamlin re: Jefferson County - City of Port Townsend Emergency Management Plan Adoption and Promulgation: Bob Hamlin reported that this revised plan replaces the Emergency Management Plan adopted in 1996. It is basically a training manual. Revisions will be sent out every six months. Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend work together on the emergency preparedness and recovery program. Commissioner Sullivan moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 60-05, adopting the Jefferson County - City of Port Townsend Emergency Management Plan. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made: A citizen noted that he feels it is time for the State to reevaluate charging for parking at State parks since this is something that local dollars should not have to be used to support; a metropolitan park district would be the wrong path for the County to take and would add taxes and another layer of government that we don't need; the Board needs to distinguish between required and discretionary spending in the County budget; concern about the State Department of Ecology regulating wells; geologists are saying that there appears to be a dangerous buildup in the Juan de Fuca plate which may result in a massive earthquake in the future and the Prosecuting Attorney's Offices should be abandoned immediately; plans should be made to retire the Courthouse and build a new building for County offices; comments were made about the State Department of Ecology changes to WAC 173.517 and the fact that State agencies have no authority to make these rule changes; and a candidate's F1 should refer to the correct name of any business that they operate.
