County Administrator: John F. Fischbach
Clerk of the Board: Lorna Delaney
MINUTES
Week of March 20,2006
Chairman Johnson called the meeting to order in the presence of Commissioner David W.
Sullivan and Commissioner Patrick M. Rodgers.
Commissioners/County Administrator Briefing Session: County Administrator John
Fischbach reported that the Economic Development Council (EDC) Executive Board met and voted not to
dissolve the EDC. Instead, the members are considering revising their bylaws and reconstituting the EDC.
The EDC accepted Jefferson County's letter advising of the withdrawal ofthe Associated Development
Organization (ADO) from the EDC. Brent Bahrenburg, with the Washington State Department of
Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED), advised that Jefferson County needs to designate
another agency to serve as the ADO. Whether or not the County can be designated as the ADO is uncertain.
The County can take on some tasks, but, the financial situation is tenuous with limited funds. The Port of
Port Townsend may provide $5,000 in funding, however, that will only fund a portion of the work needing
to be done. John will send a letter to the State asking that Jefferson County be officially designated as the
ADO.
Discussion and Possible Appointment of Two (2) Members to Serve on the Jefferson
County Planning Commission: County Administrator John Fischbach stated that there are two vacancies on
the Jefferson County Planning Commission; one in District #2 and one in District #3. Two individuals have
submitted letters of interest in serving on this Board. Interviews may not be necessary since the County
Commissioners are familiar with J.D. Gallant and Henry Werch was previously interviewed for a position
on the Planning Commission.
It was agreed that conducting interviews with Mr. Gallant and Mr. Werch would not be necessary.
Commissioner Sullivan moved to appoint Henry Werch to represent District #2, and J.D. Gallant to
represent District #3 on the Jefferson County Planning Commission. Both individuals are appointed to serve
a four year term expiring March 17,2010. Commissioner Rodgers seconded the motion and posed
questions to J.D. Gallant who was present. Chairman Johnson called for a vote on the motion which carried
unanimously.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Rodgers moved to approve the minutes of
March 13, 2006. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
