A hearing on a proposed animal control ordinance will begin at 10 a.m., while a hearing on two proposals for an expansion of the South Coyle Peninsula No Shooting Area public hearing will begin at 11 a.m.

Commissioners also will consider concluding deliberations on a six-month moratorium on accepting appellations for recreation marijuana businesses in some land-use zone. The moratorium was adopted in August and a public hearing was held in October.
Items on the consent agenda include:
â– An agreement for services for the Jefferson County Library, with fees not to exceed $5,000 annually.
â– A $50,760 consultant contract with Nakano Associates of Seattle for design and engineering services for the Rick Tollefson Memorial Trail.
â– Approval of a grant agreement for Duckabush floodplain acquisition.
â– An agreement to use a $12,450 state Recreation and Conservation Office grant to enable Washington Conservation Corps members to perform restoration, in-stream and habitat maintenance projects.
