Peter Badame, manager of the Jefferson County Transit, requests the County provide 45 bus stop signs to be placed at appropriate locations within the County. Mr. Badame explained that between June 30 and August 2, the transit has provided 4,377 one-way rides and only 35% have been on the busses. He feels that appropriate signs would increase the passenger use. Badame also requested the County appropriate $4,813.00 for matching funds to total $24,060 in order to purchase a transit vehicle. This vehicle could be leased to the Jefferson County Transit or the Jefferson Transit Authority to recapture the cost of county funds. The Board advised Badame to indicate where the signs need to be posted. Hearing. Proposed Budget Appropriation; Sheriff Department. The sum of $24,972.00 needs to be appropriated to the Sheriff Department to cover costs incurred in providing additional traffic deputies due to increased traffic problems at South Point. The money will be reimbursed by the Wash- ington State Ferries. No one appeared to speak for or against the proposed appropriation. Commissioner Mercer moved to approve the appropriation, Com- missioner O'Meara seconded the motion in the absence of Commissioner Brown.

Donald Lewis, Earnest Carbaugh, and Russ Mohney, of the Cape George Club, submitted a letter requesting to buy road surfacing materials from the County. Engineer San strom explained that the County cannot sell gravel to private individuals as long as it is available elsewhere. The representatives of Cape George feel that Cape George presents a unique example of private ownership because the residents pay a full share of road taxes and the semi- private road system at Cape George serves as the only avenue for police and fire protection and other essential services. The Board advised that they will need to discuss this with Prosecuting Attorney Howard before making a decision. Mr. & Mrs. Dale McCoy of Quilcene appeared to request a fence be erected for the ball park in Quilcene in order to establish property lines. The McCoy's fence was removed when the park was constructed. Engineer Sanstrom and the Board advised that the County will establish the survey lines and replace the fence.
