Permit exemptions for herring pens in Squamish Harbor: Cunninham explained that he had received a request from Bert Nelson for exemption from the S. M. Permit system due to his having herring storage pens in Squamish Harbor since the 1950's, and since sufficient evidence was submitted to substanciate his operations, met the criteria of the Shoreline Management Act, he was granted an exemption. -~ '. The bid call of April 28th was discussed, with Eng. Becker advising that Truckweld Equip- ment Company, which was high bidder, is the only company that meets all bid specifications. However, Waste Systems International, no. 3 bidder, has the same system as Truckweld, and he recommended they be awarded the bid pending approval of the Dept. of Ecology. Since the bid opening, Becker and Commissioners O'Meara and Mercer inspected the equipment of all three low bidders and found that the other two companies did not meet county specifications. Becker said also that the two low bidding companies were still in the learning process and could cost the county a lot more money in the long run on service calls for repairs and main- tenance on the equipment. It was concluded by motion of Commissioner Mercer and seconded by Commissioner O'Meara for Office Eng. Bagley to draft a letter of explanation' to the Dept. of Ecology, for execution by the Chairman, and upon approval of the Pros. Attny., award bid to Waste Systems International for the amount of $55,543.95. Chairman Brown abstained because he was unable to inspect the equipment with the other two Commissioners and Becker. - 'f Sheriff Bob Hansen advised that his deputies had to close down the Arcadia Dance Hall last Saturday night because of minors drinking alcoholic beverages on the premises and no adult supervis ion. He requests that a meeting be arranged with the Board, the Pros. Attny. and himself for the purpose of drafting an ordinance to give his department more control over situations of this nature. He also 3uggested holding a public meeting some night in the near future to discuss the situation with the parefl.ts and the young people to see if a solution can be found so the teenagers can have their dances with control and superviSion. The Board agreed that a public meeting should be held, but no date was set. Sheriff Hansen will meet with the Pros. Attny. to draft an ordinance. - ~ Clerk Mary Norwood submitted a copy of a letter to the Clallam Co. Clerk regarding the pur- chase of a microfilming camera from them for $115. Mrs. Norweod advised earlier that she had $200 in her budget under capital outlay for the purchase of an adding machine which Sh~L__ no longer intended to buy this year, so the money can be used for the microfilmer instead of having a budget extension as purposed earlier. Board approves.
