by Commissioner Brown, seoorrl Ccmnissioner O'Meara to prepare EIS.
2) Planner Cunningham reported that the City of Port
Townsend has inquired into the possibility of contract-
ing planning activities with the county. The Mayor and/
or Council will contact the Board prior to budget hearings.
3) Oak Bay Park Plan. Planner Dave Goldsmith presented a revised
plan to the Board. The Board found the plan acceptable.
A Shoreline Management permit will be necessary. The Board
gave the go ahead to proceed with the Shoreline application.
Mayor Joe Steve appeared re the following:
1) Property behind City. The County owns 1/2 lot which the
City would like to acquire. The property was given to
the City in 1942 with the stipulation the City pay tax
liens against it. The tax liens were not paid, the
reason for which is not known, and the county foreclosed
in 1944. The Board feels a deed should be drafted giving
the 1/2 lot back to the City to "correct an error."
RCW 36.34.130.
2) Possibility of a contract with the county for planning
assistance. The amount estimated by Joe Steve at this
time is $lO,OOO from the City's revenue sharing funds
which would probably be enough for a part-time position.
Commissioner Brown suggested the Mayor get together with
the City Council as to whether or not they'll accept
this, because if it waits until the budget hearing time
to present it to them, it will be too late to do anything
this year.
3) Animal Control. Syd Klenk,Animal Control Officer appeared
with Joe Steve. The Board would like to contract with the
City for animal control. A meeting will be arranged with
Sheriff Hansen to discuss this further.
The minutes of October l7 were approved.
