Commissioner Phi! Johnson and Commissioner John Austin.
PUBliC COMMENT PERIOD: The following co=ents were made by citizens in
attendance at the meeting: A citizen co=ented that he used the term "agenda" in a public records request
and that term isn't used in the RCW. He added that the Health Department and Parks Advisory Board both
have their minutes up-to-date on the website now and pointed out that to his knowledge the Parks Board has
not done any review of the Gibbs Lake Park extension and he thought that was one of their charges; Another
citizen co=ented that there is a lack of unity of information on the County website about the various
Advisory Board meetings and committees on which the Commissioners serve; Another citizen advised that
he came to Jefferson County 25 years ago when it was a nice place to live and now he feels it is a place for
the rich and if you are not rich you are not welcome in the County. He also stated that he feels the Board is
guilty of a class war against the middle class and poor in the County; A citizen asked if the Board is familiar
with Kroeger's the parent company of QFC which submitted a request to put in a fuel station and it was
approved while local people submit requests that require UDC changes and they can't get approval by the
Board. He added that he feels big corporations with lots of money and lawyers can get changes to the UDC
while local people who don't have a lot of money can't; A citizen stated that he feels the Chair doesn't
control people during public co=ent and he has the right to speak without interruption; and a citizen stated
that he wrote a letter to the County Administrator about special licenses that are issued to the Sportsman's
Club and the Horse Park and he doesn't see anywhere in the UDC where he has an opportunity to apply for
one of these special licenses.

AGREEMENT: Interlocol (Revised) re: Resource Conservation Management Services;
City of Port Townsend, Port Townsend School District, Chimacum School District and Fort Worden
State Park (Replaces Agreements Approved on February 22, 2010 and March 15, 2010): Ken Horvack,
Emergency Management and Grants Manager for City of Port Townsend joined Philip Morley to review the
Resource Conservation Management Services agreement. Philip Morley thanked Mr. Horvack for his hard
work on this and other projects.
Philip Morley then presented the second revision to this agreement which reflects that Jefferson Health Care
withdrew from of the project because they already have the internal capacity to do this work. Fort Worden
State Park was added to the agreement in their place. This is an exercise in fiscal responsibility to reduce all
utility costs and save the County, the City, Port Townsend and Chimacum School Districts and Fort Worden
more money than this program costs in conservation of utilities. He then reviewed a spreadsheet of what the
County might save in 3 years with the bare minimum being approximately $18,000 and a possible maximum
of $45,000.
Chairman Sullivan asked how these savings are achieved? Ken Horvath reported they review all utility bills
for billing errors and each entity's facilities are reviewed for specific areas where energy savings can be
improved. A consumption database is required as part of the grant. Commissioner Johnson stated that he is
pleased that Fort Worden is part of this project. Commissioner Austin asked if the contract is contingent on
PSE and WSU signing on and if there is any concern with PSE pulling out because of the change in
ownership ofPSE? Ken Horvath answered that they continue to monitor the situation but have been told
that this is a sma1l expense in that change of ownership and is not expected to be a problem. Commissioner
Austin then noted that there are 2 sma1l errors in the documeut where 6 parties are referred to instead of 5.
Commissioner Austin moved to authorize the Chair to sign the interlocal agreement and to authorize the
following for the signature authorization form for the Departmeut of Commerce: 2 Commissioners as
contracting authorities; the County Administrator to sign for contract amendments and the Public Works
Director and County Administrator to sign invoices. Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion which
carried by a unllnimous vote.
