The three Jefferson County commissioners will consider a resolution clarifying the role of the county administrator when they meet Monday.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. in commissioners’ chambers at the Jefferson County Courthouse, 1820 Jefferson St., Port Townsend.
The proposed clarification says the county manager has the authority to complete all tasks arising from the dismissal, resignation, termination, grievance or personnel action of a county employee.
In this role, the administrator is required to provide notice to the county commissioners of any agreement or settlement exceeding a $50,000 cost to the county.
The item is on the consent agenda and will not be discussed unless requested by a commissioner or member of the public.
Other items on the consent agenda include:
â– An agreement to allocate $18,880 for Washington State Aggression Replacement Training for the Jefferson County Juvenile Services department.
â– An agreement to allocate $29,680 to the Dowans Creek Road realignment project. The project is funded 75 percent by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and 12.5 percent each by the state and county.
During a 3 p.m. briefing, commissioners will review population projections for city and county comprehensive plan updates.
Port Townsend city
The Port Townsend City Council will discuss a revised drought contingency response plan and fire hazard response plan when it meets Monday.
The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in council chambers at City Hall, 540 Water St. An executive session also is on the agenda.
The City Council approved an emergency declaration concerning water supply and fire hazards July 20. Members requested revisions that will be presented to them Monday.
The drought plan consolidates Stages 1 and 2 into the first stage, and Stages 3 and 4 into Stage 3.
If it is approved, Stage 1 provisions — with alternate watering days and target reductions in consumption for both city and Port Townsend Paper Corp. use — would come into effect immediately.
Changes proposed in the fire hazard response plan would allow quicker response to mitigate such hazards as tall grass.
The council also will consider allowing the city manager to enter into a $30,000 contract with an architectural firm to plan for Mountain View Commons improvements.
It will consider seeking guidance from the Information and Technology Committee on priorities for improving technology and referring a study of city commissions and advisory boards to the General Services and Special Projects Committee.
Council office hours, during which members of the public can discuss any topic with a member of the City Council, take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday in the mayor’s office at historic City Hall, 540 Water St.
