Sullivan District No.3 Commissioner: John Austin County Administrator: Philip Morley Clerk of the Board: Lorna Delaney MINUTES March 15,2010 Chairman David Sullivan called the meeting to order at approximately 9:00 a.m. Commissioner Phil Johnson and Commissioner John Austin were both present. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following comments were made: A citizen commented that he hoped the Board would remove the Resource Conservation Manager agreement from Consent Agenda because he feels it is not a good idea the way it's structured, because it is a 3 year commitment which makes little sense, and the first year and additional years savings have been bumped up from the previous version which looks like someone is doing magic with the numbers; Another citizen stated that it's a critical time to have everyone send a consistent message about the needs of this area regarding the proposed passenger ferry service and people need to support this idea so that citizens can get to places where they can find work; A citizen stated that WS C helps a large number of children and families per year and there are fund raising drives coming up to benefit these WSU programs; another citizen said that he doesn't see any good news about revenues and jobs and it would be nice to see the Commissioners working on these things; a citizens feels the County needs to fund the update of the Comprehensive Plan; Another man thanked Rich Stapf for being willing to step up and help with the maintenance of Memorial Field which he estimates will be a donation of $20,000, he then reviewed several projects that are being discussed which will take property off the tax roles and cost the County tax dollars; The Broadband project estimates seem to be overstated, another citizen pointed out, and it doesn't make sense to have a command center with broadband at the Maritime Center because of the possibility of an earthquake; and a citizen said that the Board needs to think about the liability issues of a ferry, the Shoreline Master Program has been submitted to DOE and new legislation may cause a slowdmvn in the DOE reviewing and approving that program.

Page 2 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: March 15, 2010 .0~'X", I'; 'I'~'I \(~;;; COMMISSIONERS BRIEFING SESSION: The Commissioners reviewed their meeting calendars and discussed various meetings they recently attended: Commissioner Austin reported that he attended a State Board of Health meeting where a sub-committee is working on the Class B water systcm rules; then he attended the State Parks Board meeting where he spoke in support of including T omanowas Rock as part of the Anderson Lake State Park property. He also advised that a celebration is being planned for the new ferry "Chetzemoka" when it is ready to be put in service and that he will encourage the Puget Sound Partnership to seek funding for the sewer. Commissioner Johnson reported on his schedule for the week. Commissioner Sullivan reported on his week at the '\'ACO Conference in Washington DC by noting that State and local governments across the country are lagging behind the private sector; he attended a broadband presentation: he was able to discuss local projects (i.e. broadband, funding infrastructure projects, cleaning Puget Sound, the Olympic Discovery Trail) with our Congressional delegation. Philip Morley, County Administrator reported that he met last week with representatives of the Port and City to work on a common economic development vision, strategy and work program as part of an interlocal agreement; Team Jefferson is working with staff on the broadband proposal which is due March 26. He then explained that the value of the maintenance work at Memorial Field by Stapf Construction is estimated to be worth 520,000 which only accounts for a portion of the annual maintenance work. That is why the numbers are not comparable when you look at the amount the County has spent on maintenance in the past. There are other community partners stepping forward to deal with more aspects of the maintenance work for Memorial Field. The County needs to work with the City to support their efforts to promote the new ferry when it comes on-line. He has been having discussions with the City on what the County can do toward the City's efforts to secure the Post Office Building. There are some possible changes coming from the State regarding the administration of OL YCAP direct service delivery contracts that are funded through State grants. Assessor Jack Westerman explained how income received would be distributed if the property between Gibbs and Beausite Lake was sold. I-Ie noted that this is County Trust Land that is managed by the State Department of Natural Rcsources (DNR) and is not the County's property, it is property that is held in trust for all of the County's Junior taxing districts. Any revenue from the sale of this property would be distributed after DNR is given their 25% administration fee, between all the Junior Taxing Districts including State schools.
