Bragg -MI NUT ES- ~1ay 16, 1977 10:00a.m. Meeting called to order by Chairman Carroll M. Mercer with all members present. Frank Kilham, member, West Area Library Council, appeared to advise of a proposal by the West Library Service Area to the Washington State Library Commission for a research and planning grant for expansion of library service to the residents of the unincorporated areas of Jefferson County. Their goals are to test various methods of delivering library service in areas where service is now very minimal, and to prove that multi-type libraries and residents can work together on a common project. Goals will be obtained in part by hiring a Project Coordinator for the program; providing library facilities in most areas and a bookmobile in remote areas during the summer; and to provide library services to the blind and physically handicapped. He requests the Board to write a letter to the State Library Commission in support of their proposal. Board concurred to draft a letter as soon as possible. Del Graham, Transamerica Title Co., came before the Board re: (1) Acquisition of a computer display terminal in their office for tax information - Board said they believe the county is limited to six screens with the present set up and all will be needed by the offices in the courthouse. They suggested Mr. Graham contact NCR for the particulars. (2) Request for change in the present excise tax ordinance from the existing verbage to: Excise tax affi- davits are not required for a document that clearly states on the face of the document that it is given for collateral purposes, .or another document which states that i~ releasing property given for collateral purposes. He said the filling out of these affidavits are becoming very time consuming and they are not now required in most other counties. Board will check into it. (3) Segregation of nondelinquest taxes - Graham spoke to the Prosecuting Attorney about this matter and he will research the possibiltiies of such segregation if requested to do so by the Board. Board will discuss it with the Prosecuting Attorney. Annexation of unprotected land areas into Jefferson County Fire Protection District No.2.

Fire Commissioner Oen stated their Board deter- mined that the area to be annexed into the district shall assume no obli- gation of indebtedness, bonded or otherwise, to the existing district.

The existing entrance has a dangerous intersection and would need to be corrected, or the entrance changed, and he is obligated to install the water lines along the road. Various roads were discussed including the possibility of acquiring an easement so people would have a choice of ingress and egress, but no definite recommendation was made. Business from County Departments: Planning re: 1) Final Short Plat of Lincoln Rogers - signatures of approval were attached to the final plat map by the Health, Engineering, and Planning Departments. Planning Commission finds the plat in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Hoved by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner O'Heara for Chairman Mercer to sign final plat approval.

Installation of tideland ownership identification markers at three separate locations in Discovery Bay, near Gardiner. Exempt from Shoreline Hanagement Act.

Unanimous 3) Port of Port Townsend Shoreline Application Fee Return Request: Planning Department submitted documentation of man hours and mileage devoted to processing the permit which exceeded the $100 fee.

Unanimous 5) Coastal Zone Hanagement Contract 1977-78: Planning Director Cunningham explained that application consists of two sections only - one for Planning Department and Shoreline Hanagement work, and the other for reimbursement to the Prosecuting Attorney when he has to deal with shoreline management matters or represent them at the State Hearings Board. Total amount of contract request to the Department of Ecology will be $11,680 representing 80% reimbursement for any time spent by them, Shoreline Advisory Committee, and the Prosecuting Attorney in shoreline matters. The Boating Feasibility Study was not included because their department does not have the time to work on the study and the county would also have to hire a consultant at a minimum cost of $4,000 in local match. Board concurs. Hoved by Commissioner O'Heara, seconded by Commissioner Brown for the Plan- ning Director to forward this scope of services with the request for $11,680 to the DOE for 1977-78. Unanimous 6) Update on Trident Fiscal Impact Analysis: Dave Goldsmith, Project Coordinator, informed that OEA calculates that Jefferson County will only receive 3% trident related growth, approximately 217 families, and that is the only amount they will support at this time. Consequently, he is going to have to reassess the county's fiscal impact report to the 3% figure. At this point, it doesn't appear the county can justify any additional funding. He feels the new Mason/Jefferson County Community Devel- opment Coordinator will be beneficial to the county in monitoring, to find out exactly where the Trident population is going because it can affect the school districts, county road program, community development plans, etc., and to aid in writing grants for the districts that need assistance.

Engineer Becker rec- ommends the actual cost of this rock is $3.50 per cu. yd. at this time. The cost of shooting this again in about 2 years will no doubt be considerably more.
