Mercer, Chairman Clerk of the Board Engineer Secretary Betty J. Anderson, Auditor Edwin A. Becker, P.E. Jerdine C. Bragg -MI NU T ES- !>iay 23, 1977 10:00a.m. Meeting called to order by Chairman Carroll H. !>iercer with all members present. Homer Smith, from Homer Smith Insurance Co., came before the Board to discuss the county's fire insurance policy. He advised that unless specific items are excluded from the blanket policy, all buildings are on a replacement cost basis. Costs for the old buildings are so minimal it would be to the county's benefit not to have them excluded. For instance, if an old garage burned down, the insurance company would be obligated to replace the build- ing - if the county.prefered not to have it replaced, it would then revert back to actual cash value, which is replacement cost less depreciation. Board concurred not to have any of the older buildings removed from the policy. Hr. Smith will make minor adjustments in the policy on the new cars, equipment, and the Sheriff's new radio system, and remit a copy for the Board's file. William Bonaudi, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Gagne, and Mr. and !>irs. Larry Omstad, residents of Marrowstone Island, appeared to ask if the county could grade and possibly gravel Griffith Point Road. Board advised that due to it being a private road and not up to county standards, the county would only grade it once or twice a year upon request. Board recommended they form a com- munity organization to assess all involved property owners equally for costs to have the drainage problem corrected and road graveled and graded initially. After these problems are resolved, the county will grade it periodically upon request only. R.E. Duppenthaler, Developer, appeared re: Final Plat Approval, Seamount Estates, Division IV. He submitted a copy of an agreement between the pro- perty owners and his corporation, yulton Creek Investment Corp., to resolve the water problems in Division I. It was noted that agreement had no time limitation for correction of the water system and there were no signatures of acceptance. The District Sanitarian said the Department of Social and Health Services recommends Division IV not be approved until specific im- provements are made to the water system in Division I. Engineer Becker advised that the roads in Division IV were bonded for completion (surfacing) in the amount of $10,000, dated November 15, 1976, and for maintenance in the amount of $5,000, dated October 28, 1976, and money placed in escrow by Duppenthalerfor the same amount and purpose prior to bonding. Duppenthaler said that due to prior approval being granted for Divisions I through III, he didn't feel he should be held responsible for the water system in Division I. Board stated the water system is an integral part of all four divisions and the problems in Division I must be corrected before final approval is given to Division IV.

Unanimous Four members of the Brinnon Yacht Club submitted petitions bearing 952 signatures requesting official support for the development of a boat launch facility in that area. Board advised that the county has been aware of the need for such a facility for several years and both the county and the state have been trying to acquire property for this purpose, but haven't been able to come up with an available location. Various pieces of property that have been investigated were discussed, and one of the Yacht Club members asked if there was the possibility of condemnation to acquire a site, however, the Board said they would not be in favor of this process. The discussion was concluded with the Board reaffirming their intent to continue efforts to acquire a suitable piece of property in that area, and requested the Yacht Club members to also talk to the property owners not only regarding possible purchase, but also as to their opinions on living in the close proximity of a boating facility of this nature. Bruce Loften, Sales Representative, NCR, gave the Board an up-date on the computer programming system as follows: 1) County payroll - payrolls from January 1977 through April 1977 have been programmed by the Auditor's office and May's warrants will be the first run off this system. 2) Over heating of machines - three additional fans have been added to the processor and computer to allow a better air flow for cooling purposes. 3) Treasurer's request for additional CRT screen and hard copy printer - to run the program and processor it will be necessary to purchase an additional memory; adapter board; hard copy terminal; CRT screen; and 115 feet of cable, for an overall cost of $9,816.25 plus tax and freight. Board determined not to order the hard copy printer until actual need is established. 4) Title Company's request for CRT screen - a telephone type set up with an additional adapter would be required. Loften is going to check further to make sure it would not inter fer with future county needs with the present equipment. 5) Question on NCR's charges for installation of cable - Loften said Board should contact Wayne Cook, Service Manager, for confirmation of 18 hours labor charges. Rick Trosburg, Dept. of Fisheries, appeared to request exemption from the shoreline management permit procedures for their stream rehabilitation pro- ject on Fulton Creek. He said the project more appropriately relates to "repair and protection" than "development", and the repair is necessary because of damage by the elements. Planning Director Cunningham stated he could find no way to recommend exemption for this project due to it clearly coming under the definition of "development" in the Shoreline Act. ;VOL 3 PAGE 597 . - .. .' _. M1nutes of May 23, 1977 con't. p. 3 Proposed work includes dredging, removal of sand and gravel, placing of fill, placing of obstructions (weirs), etc., which is defined in the Act as "development". Board determined that the proposed project could not be considered as "normal maintenance and repair" because there are no existing weirs, therefore, an exemption could not be substantiated. Joseph Daniels submitted a petition for a proposed road vacation in the Plat of Mats Hats Beach. Hearing date set for Monday, June 20, 1977 by motion of Commissioner Brown and second by Commissioner O'Heara, unanimous Application from the State Liquor Control Board for Class G (Special Occasion) license to be issued to General Telephone Company of the Northwest for G.T.E.
