In response to a concern about permit violations, Commissioner Brown stated that violations are up to the Prosecuting Attorney to prosecute. 1) Prosecutor Howard appeared with Health Sanitarian Randy Durant to discuss the County Subdivision Ordinance. Howard submitted a letter suggesting a variance system be used where the Health Depart- ment approval is not obtained and to have the plat state that approval of the plat does not guarantee approval of permits. 2) Personnel Policy - Annual Leave. Prosecutor Howard submitted an interpretation of Section 5.3 of the Personnel Policy regarding computation of annual leave. No action was taken by the Board. 3) Alteration of Existing Plats - Prosecutor Howard discussed with the Board a letter he wrote the Planning Department regarding procedures related to alterations of existing plats. Also, he advised that the Board has no authority to modify a proposed re- plat. Their authority is only to approve or reject the proposed re-plat. 4) Drop-Box Caretaker - Form Contract.

Kuolt and Peter L. Buck from Pacific Rim appeared. Also attending are the Department Heads from the Planning, Health, Building and Engineer Departments. The purpose of the meeting is to decide how Pacific Rim concerns are to be considered and by whom. Howard said he and the Planning Department have agreed that a second impact state- ment doesn't seem necessary. If the initial impact statement didn't cover all the impacts then he suggests a supplement to the statement. . ',IOL4 i~ll . [) 996 ~ Minutes of May 22, 1978 ~page3 Pacific Rim has applied for a building permit and a septic tank permit. Howard stated that since the Building Department received the application for the building permit it could be designated as the lead agency to review the preliminary information that leads up to a decision of whether to have an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The decision would probably include the Board, the Building Depart- ment and the Planning Department could assume any role the Commissioners wanted it to. He didn't feel another Public Hearing would be necessary unless there are concerns raised which the EIS didn't cover. If a supplement is needed there would probably be a hearing. Commissioner Brown asked about the County being lead agency since the Building Department is poorly equipped for this task. Howard would have to check further to reply to this. The Pacific Rim Attorney, Peter Buck, spoke on working with the various departments to try to resolve matters. He requests their permit applications be given normal considerations and procedure. He felt that there is no impact that couldn't be worked out with changes and conditions. Pacific Rim sees the judges decision as one where their project is not in violation with the County codes and ordinances. There are impacts identified but they are not codes, or ordinances. He also stated that Jefferson County has never turned down an applicant who has complied with the codes and ordinances. The Building Department and Planning Department will proceed as quickly as possible. Les Lambert spoke for Coyle residents. He felt that the EIS should be reviewed due to it being outdated as the project has enlarged as far as number of members, etc. They had a real problem with resident break-ins since January 1978 and the traffic flow should be addressed. George Benning, United Pacific Insurance re: request for letter of confirmation from the Board that Harry Sutliff authorized inclusion of John L. Smith for County employee coverage. The Board is to see if he had Teamster's coverage and if so, United Pacific would not be liable (life insurance) and United Pacific will return the premium. Commissioner O'Meara checked with Teamsters by phone and the matter will be settled. Air Systems Engineering, Inc. re: Agreement for Air Conditioning Computer Room. The agreement is to install an indoor and outdoor unit at a cost of $3,300. Motion by Commissioner O'Meara, second by Commissioner Brown to approve and sign the agreement. Unanimous. The Board recessed until 4:00 p.m., Tuesday, May 23, 1978. On Tuesday, May 23, the Board reconvened at 4:00 p.m. to continue regular business. Brinnon Boat Launch - Planning Director Dave Cunningham has drafted a letter for the Board's signature addressed to the Directors of Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and the State Department of Fisheries requesting cooperative efforts be intensified to secure a public boat launch in the vicinity of the community of Brinnon. The Board approved and signed the letter. Approval of Minutes: The Board approved and signed the minutes of May 15, 1978.
