Week of
November 23, 1981
Chairman B.G. Brown called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m.
Commissioner Mercer was out of town.
Approval of Minutes: Commissioner O'Meara moved to approve
and sign the minutes tor the week of November 16, 1981 as presented.
Commissioner Brown seconded the motion.
Discovery Bay Lodge Condominiums: Louie Torres appeared
before the Board to request their direction on acquiring a building
permit for the first 7 units of the 52 planned for this site. The
building plans have been approved and the State has approved the
utility systems plans, with the stipulation that there ml1st be a DOE
approved sewer system management plan before the sewer system is used.
The District Sanitarian has indicated that this plan must be approved
before he will sign the building permit. Since the owners are in the
process of working out the plan with the PUD, which will take another
60 to 90 days, and are anxious to begin construction, Mr. Torres asked
DOE for an interpretation of the sewer management plan provision, and
reported to the Board that DOE does not require that the plan be
approved prior to construction but will require an approved plan prior
to occupation or use of the units. Mr. Torres requested that the
Board allow Mr. Durant, the District Sanitarian, to approve the
issuance of a building permit with the stipulation that the buildings
will not be used until the sewer management plan has been approved.
Chairman Brown stated that he believed Mr. Durant is correctly inter-
preting County policy, but that the Board will discuss the situation
with him, the Health Officer, Dr. Fischnaller, and the Prosecuting
Attorney and will let Mr. Torres know if any deviation from the policy
will be permitted.
Hearing; Bud et Apppropriation, Historical Society: The
hearing was opene y a~rman rown; no one appeare to speak for or
against the appropriation. Therefore, the hearing was closed and
Commissioner O'Meara moved to approve and sign Resolution No. 136-81
appropriating $270.00 for longevity pay. Commissioner Brown seconded
the motion.
Subdivision Ordinance Inquiry & Water/Sewer Problems: Stan
Johnston met with the Board to discuss two concerns: lJCurrently,
when property is short platted, it is necessary for all parties with
an underlying interest to sign the short plat. In cases where the
property has been sold on contract more than once and the contracts
are still in the process of being paid off and/or in cases where
several individuals have a joint underlying contract, this means
obtaining many signatures on the short plat, often from people who
are no longer in the area and to whom it is difficult to explain, by
mail, exactly what their signature on the short plat means. He feels
this creates unnecessary complications and work in processing a short
plat. Chairman Brown stated that all those having an underlying con-
tract should be notified of any short plat of the property and have
the right of approval, since if there is a default in contract(sJ,
the property may revert to them, and this is a reasonable stipulation.
Dave Goldsmith, Planning Director, stated that this requirement is by
State statute, as well as by County ordinance, but that the legislature

has approved obtaining the signatures of persons with an underlying
interest on a separate instrument for attachment to the short plat.
2)Mr. Johnston also related his frustration with what he feels are
inconsistencies in the site evaluations and sewage permit approvals
by the Health Department. He cited a recent instance in which, after
some ambivalence, the site evaluator did not give approval of the
soils, but in which other presumably knowledgeable individuals felt
the soil was adequate for septic systems. In another instance, the
State has stated a specific water system does not require an engineer
but the Health Department states an engineer must be involved in the
design. This problem relates to review of Class IV systems. The
Board requested that Mr. Johnston provide all the details in writing
and they will check with the Health Department. Chairman Brown also
noted that, in the water system problem, it appears that the State
approved the plan but has not approved the system as built, which may
be what the Health Department needs. The Board also instructed Mr.
Johnston that these matters could be expedited by taking them to the
Health Board meeting.
Jail Site Selection Letters: The Chairman signed, on behalf
of the Board, letters ot appreciation to the Technical Committee mem-
bers. In addition, he signed a letter to Johnston/Hunt/Roline-Hewitt/
Daly advising that the Hadlock site had been selected and a letter to
the State Jail Commission stating that the selection of an engineering/
architectural firm had been made on August 24, 1981.
Labor Agreements: A letter was sent to the Teamsters Local
#589 requesting reopening of the agreements for the Sheriff's and Pub-
lic Works Departments for the purpose of discussing the C.P.I. due
employees on January 1, 1982.
IFMS Contract Extension Request: A letter was sent to Omega
Systems requesting an extension ot the current contract and an esti-
mate of cost and outline of work which would be performed in order to
cover future use of the Central Services computer by Public Works.
Liquor License Transfer, Center Valley Store: Don Post is
trying to expedite the purchase ot this store and asked the Board to
send a letter of approval of the transfer to the Liquor Control Board.
The Commissioners stated they will write such a letter if the Health
Department gives approval.
Kala Point Survey Map and Agreement: William Lindem'l.T1 DJ:'e-
sented an agreement regarding the detinition of land use areas in' the
Kala Point Development and, following discussion, Commissioner O'Meara
made a motion to approve and sign the agreement, which Commissioner
Brown seconded. Mr. Lindeman will have the agreement recorded.
Third Street, Irving Park Addition: Roger Katz presented a
petition from residents on this road requesting that this platted
street be accepted as a County road and improved. He informed the
Board that the residents are not financially able to bring the road up
to standard for County acceptance, as is the usual procedure, but the
road is very bad and he requested the County's help in improving the
road in a cooperative arrangement. The property owners are willing to
clear timber, etc., if the County will crown the road and provide some
fill and gravel. Chairman Brown explained the reasons for requiring
property owners to bring a road up to standard through an R.I.D., but
the Board did agree to inspect the area to see if any other option
might be considered.
The meeting was recessed, and reconvened on Tuesday,
November 24, 1981, to continue regular business in the absence of
Commissioner Mercer.
Computer Programs: The Board met with Jay Barschdorf, Omega
Systems, and department representatives involved in computer cost
accounting and other programs to discuss various aspects.
