SPECIAL MEETING
10:00 a.m. Meeti~ called to order by Chairman Walter A. Kelly, with all Members present.
Chairman Kelly explained that the meeting was called for thl9 purpose of obtaining information relative to the
possibilities of acquiring Federal or State assistllnce for property owners who suffered damage and loss of pro-
perty due to the flooding of the Duckabush, Dosewallips and the Quilcene Rivers this past winter. Tom Lowe,
Assistant Director, Disaster Relief Services, Olympia, and John Doubek, County Director, Department of
Emergency Services, appeared to present' ' this informntion.
Mr. Lowe advised of the criterion by which the government determines eligibility, as follows:
(1) The Board of County Commissioners must make a "Declaration of Disaster", by resolution, to the State
that the flood damage within the county is beyond the capacity of local resources, and request the governor
to issue a similar declaration.
(2) A report is made by the State of assessment of damage witnin the county relative to (1) agricultural
property, (11) public property, (Ui) private propert~.. This report is forwarded to the Federal Government for
the Presidents determination of whether or not the county 1s eligable to receive monies from the "Federal
Disaster Fund".
To receive any type of private assistance through the different programs, i.e. HUD, Small Business
Administration, FHA,etc., there has to be a "Pesidential D€lclaratior,".
The State, nor the Federal government will go in to help restore or reclaim private property unless, it is in
the public's interest, Le. debris that could cause additional flood damage, and again, this can only be done
by "Declaration".
Mr. Lowe stated that lefferson County did not receive a sufficient amount of damage this past winter to be de-
clared a disaster area by the local, state of Federal government.
Discussion followed regarding the need to rip rap the Duckabush River to prevent flooding in the future, and the
possibility of obtaining assistance from the Corps of Engineers.
The meeting concluded with the final determination that the most logical and practical course of action would
be the formation of flood control districts within the flood prone arsas.
Attending todays special meeting were: Argal D. Oberquell, John B. Robertson, W.M. Clark, Estella L. Clark,
and Mike Ragon.
Meeting adjourned.
