For the improvement of the Gardiner/Clallam Road. BIDDERS: BID TOTALS: 1. General Construction $139,981.80 2. Seton & Son 146,672.50 Engineer's estimate was $147,289.45. Commissioner Mercer moved to have the Engineer check both bids for possible errors and if found to be correct, award bid to low bidder. After checking, Assistant Engineer advised the Board that the bids were correctly submitted. Joe Clarkson and Stan Johnston appeared before the Board to request the following amendment in the Johnston Short Plat, under the notice to purchasers: (1) Access to all lots in this plat from Highway 101 is restricted by the State of Washington Department of Transportation. Any access to Highway 10l other than those shown will require approval by the Department of Transportation. The plat, as it reads now, restricts access to the designated State Highway access as portrayed on the plat (permit #M79-309). Planning Director Goldsmith reported the background details and submitted a copy of a letter from the Department of Transportation stating its intentions to discourage any additional access onto SR 101, other than shown on the approved plan, and reaffirm denial of the approach to Mr. Stan Johnston. They encourage the County to not make any changes in the approved short plat in regards to access. Mr. Johnston feels that there should not be access restrictions on the plat, that it should be between the property owner and the State. He said that he has received contradicting letters on the decision whether or not to grant access from the State. The Board feels that the new access Johnston proposes would not have been accepted because it is an )inappropriate and dangerous approach. Paul Murphy, member of the Gardiner Community Center Advisory Board, and David Johnston, Architect and member of the Gardiner Grange, appeared before the Board. Mr. Murphy invited the Board to look at the newly finished basement. They talked about: (1) Drainage problems from the downspouts, the sand is sloughing away. Also problems with drainage in the parking areas. (2) The need to construct a cement ramp to accomodate the handicap. The present ramp and steps are dangerous and have never been completed. and (3) The Grange has various pieces of kitchen.utensils and request the County purchase them, also the Center needs rfems such as chairs.The Board will check the list submitted by David Johnston before taking any action.

Also attending were Auditor Betty Anderson and Treasurer Frances Hansen. The Agreement provides for 125 cases over the year 1980 and with only six months into the year, the Public Defender has already peen appoint- ed about 117 cases. He proposes eliminating cases not falling exclusively within the County's responsiblity. They discussed possible procedures in order to have the City pay for their share of court and defender's fees. There's no provision in the District Court's budget to use the revenue brought in for payment of the Public Defender's fee for city indigents cases.
