The three Jefferson County commissioners will consider a $66,667 agency agreement with the state Department of Ecology for the Lake Anderson Management Plan when they meet at 9 a.m. Monday.
The meeting will be in commissioners’ chambers at the Jefferson County Courthouse, 1820 Jefferson St., Port Townsend.
Commissioners took the item off the consent agenda last Monday because of concerns about financing a required $16,666 match. Ecology would fund the grant at 75 percent, totaling $50,000.
The grant would fund a study of the origin of toxic blooms in the lake near Chimacum. Anderson Lake has produced some of the highest concentrations of the neurotoxin anatoxin-a in the world.
Items on the consent agenda include:
• A notice setting a public hearing date and publishing a hearing notice on a request for a change of scope of work for the Snow Creek watershed acquisitions Conservation Futures project. The hearing is tentatively scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday, Oct. 16.
• A resolution adding the Snow Creek Road culvert replacement to the officially adopted annual road program.
• A 2018-19 consolidated contract with Jefferson County Juvenile Services and the state Department of Social and Health Services that supports supervision for moderate/high-risk offenders, various programs and training.
