Brown with all members present. j The minutes of July 15th and 21st were approved by motion of Commissioner O'Meara and second by Commissioner Mercer. Unanimous ~. The Board received a letter from George Randolph, Manager, Po~t of Port Townsend, and he appeared to discuss the matter of. a possible trade of properties between the county "and the Port - mainly the Port's fa,cility"at Ma.ts Mats Bay. He stated the Port Commissioners and he feel their prime concern is with economic and commercial development and not in recreational and marine parks, which is how they classify the Mats Mats Marina. Approxi- mate..:i..ncome from this propoety is $400 per month and operating costs at this time do not make it feasible for any capital improvements- also, the Port does not own any portion of the uplands or water lands, and therefore, additional property would have to be leased from private owners. They are eligable for lAC funding but do not want to go into recreational develop- ment. They do not have any particular county property in mind for the trade. Plan. Dir. Cunningham advised that due to their findings th.ey do not recommend acquisition of this property, and any property acquired by the county for recreational purposes will have to be in compliance with the county's Park and Recreation Plan wh.ich is in the first draft stage at this time. Based on this information it was moved by Commissioner O'Meara and seconded by Commissioner Mercer to delay action on this matter until the Park and Recreation Plan is finalized. Unanimous Lee Morgan, county resident, inquired if the County Road Dept. will be clearing th~ right-of-way 011 the Hazel Point Road past the top of the knoll because the school bus has to stop on the other side, approximately 150 feet from where the county has now stopped clearing. He requests the county to cut-off the top of the knoll for safety reasons. Children have to cross the street and cannot be seen by the traffic coming up the hill. They asked to have the bus stop changed but permission was denied by the State Patrol. Eng.Becker advised they are unable to continue clearing until next year, however, the safety factor is very important and he will see that a school bus stop sign is installed.
