Hood Canal Bridge Toll: Bob Harper, Joe Wheeler and Keith Harper, as representatives ot the Port Townsend Chamber of Commerce, met with the Board to state the Chamber's dissatisfaction with the $2.50 toll (each way) recommended by the Department of Transportation. They feel a concerted effort is needed in order to reverse this rec- ommendation. The joint resolution, which Jefferson County Commissioners declined to sign, but which was signed by Clallam County and all city councils on the Peninsula, recommended a $1.50 toll each way to be collected only to retire indebtedness incurred in construction of the bridge. The Chamber requested that the Jefferson County Commissioners either conform their resolution on this issue to the joint resolution or write a letter supporting the joint resolution, so that the Depart- ment of Transportation is presented with a single recommendation. Another recommendation which the Chamber intends to promote with Clallam County and Peninsula communities is to eliminate discount commuter ferry tickets, which, if continued, would actually be sub- sidized by a higher bridge toll. There was lengthy discussion regarding various aspects, historical and current, of this issue. In light of the fact ,that the recommendation of the Jefferson County Commissioners, in their resolutio~ is not being considered, the Board agreed to direct a letter to the Department of Transportation supporting the joint resolution. The Board recessed the meeting until Tuesday, June 29, 1982, at which time all members were again present.
