10:00 a.m. Chairman Mercer called the meeting to order with all members
present.
Frank Garred, Chairman of the Port Townsend Tennis Club, and Club
Member Charles O'Grady appeared before the Board to find out if a sealant
would be included in the resurfacing of the Courthouse Tennis Court. Ed
Becker reported that a sealant was not called for in the bid. Mr. Garred
told the Board the Tennis Club would like to ask the County to spend the
additional funds (approximately $250.) to add the sealant as it would
increase the lasting quality of the court and that people playing are
less apt to tear up their shoes. Also, it comes in two colors, brick
red and green. Frank recommended the choice of green. Commissioner Brown
indicated that the sealant could be applied without affecting the bid
contract. The Board is in favor of the sealant and will check into it
further.
Robert M. Hays, Chairman, Hood Canal Advisory Commission submitted
to the Board copies of the Hood Canal Handbook which includes a complete
study of the canal and the agencies involved. He asked for any input to
improve the handbook in the future.
Re: John Mey's Shoreline Management Application. Tom Aumock from the
Planning Department announced the purpose of the meeting was to take public
testimony on John Mey's application to put a barge on Chimacum Creek. No
one appeared and no correspondence was received opposing the application.
Chairman Mercer closed the hearing to consider the application. Tom
recommended the decision on the application be held over to July 5 because
John Mey wasn't able to appear. Also, Dave Cunningham has concerns about
the project and was unable to appear. The Board agreed to postpone the
hearing until July 5.
Six-Year-Road-Program. Ed Becker of the Public Works Department
submitted a rough draft of the program and asked for additions and or
deletions from the Board. He stated the law says the first hearing on
the Road Program has to be before July 1, but it doesn't say it's
necessary to adopt the program. Chairman Mercer expressed the need to
continue the hearing. Commissioner O'Meara moved to continue the hearing
on July 5. Seconded by Commissioner Brown. Unanimous

residents stating their opposition to imporving the Shine Road.

Program, n~in the Six Year Program. The Board agreed that a note should
be sent to a representative of the area.

engineer for the Puget Sound Exchange Corporation has been asked by the
District Engineer to meet 3 requirements before any additional building
site permits can be approved. The 3 requirements are: 1) All Phase II
improvements for the lower system be completed. 2) Total escrow, $42,000
plus $3,000 (improvements for Division #3), be accepted in writing by the
county with a copy provided to the State District Engineer's office.
3) That no hookups within Division #3 be allowed until the total
improvement package concerning Division #3 has been completed.

Exchange Corporation that the escrow agreement they submitted involving

collaterol for improvements for Division #3) is not acceptable. Seconded

Lillian Jacobsen, appeared before the Board to request authorization to
purchase a computer program for future LID's. She presented the Board
with a cost estimate of approximately $4700.00. The Board agreed to
check into it. Later in the day they approved the program and Lillian
was informed. It is to be charged to computer costs.
Distribution of 1977 PUD Tax. Mike Kipp appeared before the Board to
explain that the QueetsjClearwater School District has sufficient local
revenues this year disqualifying them from state support. This means that
any PUD tax going to their district would not be equalized, or taken back
by the state. He recommended putting the 1977 PUD tax distribution into
this district rather than another where it would be equalized and 100% of
it subtracted from the state funds for that district. It was moved by
Commissioner O'Meara, seconded by Commissioner Brown to allocate 35% of
the 1977 PUD tax to QueetsjClearwater School District No. 20 and for 65%
to go to the County Current Expenses. Unanimous. The Board signed
Resolution No. 42-77 to this effect.

Community Development through the SEPA Process of their
Declaration of Non-Significance for Lockheed to dredge the
area in Seattle. The Planning Department reviewed the
proposal and found it to be outside of shoreline jurisdiction

3) Final Plat of Kala Point Division No. III.
Rick Overstreet, Project Manager for Kala Point Development
Company appeared. Discussion took place over the previous
agreement between Jefferson County and Kala Point Racket
Club to maintain Kala Point Drive. The county wanted
a guarantee that it would be maintained according to the
standards when it was first built or the county could
reclaim it as a public road. Overstreet reported the owners
are aware of this situation, but they have not been told that
it's subject to an inspection by the county engineer.
