He also asked to be informed specifically what standard or certification their personnel will be required to meet, and that the certificate of occupancy be issued on the condition that the standard will be met. If necessary, they will bring in an employee who already meets the standard until the resident personnel are certified. Following discussion, the Board informed Mr. Buck and Mr. Gunderson that they would accept certification of fire fighting personnel from Bob Jones, Port Townsend Fire Chief, for com- pliance with that part of condition 34. Adjacent property owners who attended the meeting objected to not being informed earlier that the review preparatory to issuing the certificate of occupancy was in process. Commissioner Brown stated that, at this stage of the process, the County Department heads are charged with inspection and evaluation as to whether conditions have been met.
