Mercer seconded the motion by Commissioner O'Meara to approve and sign this
contract. Unanimous.
seagull Park: Tim Black requested and received approval to purchase
an additional roll of underground wire to complete the electrical work at
the park. There was some discussion of progress at Seagull and Irondale
Parks.
Housing Rehabilitation Block Grant Close-Out: Peter Simpson met with
the Board to report on several items: 1) Proposals for Servicing Accounts:
Mr. Simpson presented a proposal from CAC and noted that it is essentially
the same as the one presented by Jefferson National Bank. Details of
accounts and servicing were discussed, as were both proposals. Per motion
by Commissioner Mercer, seconded by Commissioner O'Meara, the CAC proposal
was accepted. Unanimous. Mr. Simpson will bring in an agreement for the
Board's signature. 2) Administrative Services Contract with CAC: this
contract is effective through 7/15/81, in order to cover the close-out per-
iod. Following examination, Commissioner O'Meara moved to approve and sign
the contract. Commissioner Mercer seconded the motion. Unanimous.
3) Interlocal Agreements with Other Jurisdictions Involved in Grant: this
agreement is to designate distribution of funds and Mr. Simpson requested
the Board's approval of revisions made since the last meeting on this matter
before presenting it to the other jurisdictions. The Board read the agree-
ment and approved it. 4) CAC Funding to 1984: Mr. Simpson indicated that
funding is uncertain beyond February, 1982, but presented some of the
possibilities which may occur.
Community Services Board Appointments: Commissioner Mercer made a
motion, seconded by Commissioner O'Meara, to reappoint A.M. O'Meara, John
Rowe, and Phyllis Bee to the Community Services Board, each for a 3 year
term to expire 6/1/84.

for adoption.

and rejected Mr. Hanke's proposal to rent 100 feet along the property line

approved a request from the Transit Authority to use the courthouse parking

the parking lot will be limited to before 8:00 a.m. and after 5:30 p.m. on
week days, with 24-hour use permissable on weekends.

Park and Ride Lot, Clearwater; Jefferson Transit Authority: The
Board reviewed a letter to Milt Sanstrom requesting that plans for a parking
area and shelter be incorporated into the County plans for the Clearwater
intersection at SR 101. It was determined that this is a feasible plan and
the Board will instruct Mr. San strom that it is approved.
Bid Call; Remodeling Third Floor of Courthouse: Commissioner Mercer
seconded the motion by Commissioner O'Meara to approve and sign this bid
call. Unanimous.
SEPA Threshold Determination; Discovery Bay Associates: Eight
individuals attended this meeting, which was opened with a presentation by
David Goldsmith defining the proposed proj ect. Dr. Ward Van Patter
immediately requested a copy of the minutes of the meeting. The proposed
project is planned in 3 phases: 1) 1981- renovation of restaurant facility,
construction of sewer system and 7 condominium units on the beach; 2) 1981-
construction of 7 additional condominium units on beach; 3) 1983-85- con-
struction of 38 additional condominium units, tennis courts, and RV storage
area. Related parking facilities, lighting and landscaping will be completed
with each phase of development. The environmental checklist, findings, and
recommendations were reviewed. Louis Torres, Clark & Associates, representing
Discovery Bay Associates, raised a question regarding traffic and road con-
ditions in Discovery Bay Village: it is their belief that they are, in fact,
reducing traffic in this area; are willing to participate in an LID if
members of the community decide to pursue improvement of the road; but are
requesting that the condition, as recommended, be reduced in scope. John
Rassier, attorney and Discovery Bay Associates representative, addressed the
water situation: DBA has formalized an agreement with George Roates and 2
other property owners in order to reconfirm an agreement originally included
in the documents filed with the State Planning Registration Act which stated
that Mr. Roates would construct a water system to serve property in conjunction
with his property, with rates charged accordingly. Those presently receiving
service will continue to obtain water from this source. Philip Schoel,
representing himself and 2 other adjacent property owners who use the water
system, stated that they have received no assurance that their water supply
will not be interupted. In addition, he feels that no consideration has been
given, and therefore no mitigative measures recommended, to the problems
which he feels may arise from the nature of the condominium time share pur-
chasers who will spend only 1 vacation week per year in the area and may not
be compatible with local residents. He also fears health problems and
strain on fire and police protection services. Ward Van Patter stated that
he was not informed about this meeting and learned of it by chance only this
date. Dr. Van Patter expressed doubt that the developers have sufficient
financing to fulfill the project, with conditions and mitigative measures,
in the time frame specified. He also feels that an undertaking of this
nature requires a full impact statement, should be as free of problems as
possible, and doesn't believe DBA will or can fulfill its obligations in
implementing this project. Edward Kiesel asked if the lots will remain the
property of DBA. David Goldsmith reponded that future ownership cannot be
guaranteed, but that the property would be restricted to residential and to
the density shown on the map, with any changes necessitating approval by the
County Commissioners. Upon questioning by Chairman Brown, it was determined
that the lots restricted to a green belt area must be maintained as a green
belt, even if ownership were to be transferred. John Rassier responded to
the earlier reference to the water system: the agreement filed with the
County requires that the water system will be complete prior to the con-
struction of the first condominium units, and that part of the obligation
in the agreement is that current water users will be served. Chairman Brown
requested that the agreement be recorded as a legal document with the County
Recorder and Mr. Rassier agreed to do this. Mr. Rassier also addressed the
matter of occupancy rates: time share condominium units are not typically
occupied 100% of the time, but occupancy flucuates according to weather and
other factors influencing vacations and will most likely be approximately
equivalent to the occupancy rate of the motel unit which is already approved.
Dr. Van Patter reiterated that an impact statement and time schedule is
needed. Chairman Brown asked what specifically would be addressed in an
environmental impact statement that was not covered in the environmental
checklist. Dr. Van Patter replied that enforcing the performance of items
in the checklist was his major concern, and Chairman Brown replied that
'VOL

preparation of an impact statement would not be more effective than the
checklist in terms of enforcement, but that as the project progresses, the
County can require a bond on any part of the project where there is doubt
as to its completion. Both Commissioner Mercer and Chairman Brown pointed
out that any conditions and mitigative measures established must be complied
with in order for any project to continue. Commissioner O'Meara made a
motion to approve the Proposed Declaration of Non-Significance subject to
all conditions and mitigative measures. Commissioner Mercer seconded the
motion. Unanimous.
The Board recessed, and reconvened, with all members present, on
Tuesday, June 2, 1981 to continue regular business.
Tri-Area Community Center Board of Directors: By motion of Commissioner
O'Meara, seconded by Commissioner Mercer, the following individuals were
reappointed for 2 year terms, retroactive to the expiration of their previous
term: Beth Williams, Florence Hicks, John Parker, Alice Sell, Ralph Hall,
Ethel Boeger, Jerry Thurlow. Unanimous.
Insurance on County Buildings and Contents: Commissioner Mercer
seconded the motion by Commissioner O'Meara to approve the Chairman signing
the 1981 statement of values, as required to obtain the blanket insurance
feature on more than one location. Unanimous.
Liquor Licenses: As moved by Commissioner O'Meara, seconded by
Commissioner Mercer, 3 special occasion licenses for the Harbormaster
Restaurant and 1 beer and wine license for Pleasant Harbor Marina were
