Planner Dave Cunningham explained that the state legis- lature passed the Environmental Policy Act in 1972, but the act did not give authority for a state agency to adopt regulations. As a result the counties, cities and state agencies had no guidelines. So the state legislature created a Council on Environmental Policy who developed the SEPA guidelines. These guidelines require local agencies to adopt their own guidelines by July, 1976. No one appeared to speak for or against the proposed ordinance. VOL 3 fAG~ --: 01659 J' Winutes of August 15, 1977 Pcfge 2 Commissioner Brown moved to adopt the SEPA ordinance as published. Commissioner O'Meara seconded the motion. Unanimous.

Planner Dave Cunningham reported that the state has excellent aerial photographs of Washington shorelines. A complete set of verticals and obliques of Jefferson County shorelines will be given to the county. The real utility of these photographs is having them on slides for public hearings. If these slides are included in the 1978 Coastal Zone Management Contract the county will be reimbursed for 80% of the cost of the slides. Cunningham submitted a resolution to include the slides in the contract as an amendment. The amendment would not change the amount of the contract, but it has to be included in order to be reimbursed the 80%. Commissioner Brown moved to amend the contract. Commissioner O'Meara seconded the motion. The Board signed 3 copies. Unanimous. 3) Planner, Dave Cunningham reported that the chair rollers are tearing up the new carpet.
