EYE ON JEFFERSON: County, tribe to talk Pleasant Harbor resort plan

()

()

The three Jefferson County commissioners will meet with representatives of the Port Gamble S’Klallam tribe about potential environmental impacts of the proposed Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort when they meet Monday.

The government-to-government meeting will be at 1:30 p.m., after the commissioners’ meeting begins at 9 a.m., in commissioners’ chambers at the Jefferson County Courthouse, 1820 Jefferson St., Port Townsend.

Commissioners designated the master planned resort in 2008 and issued a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement on Dec. 9, 2015.

Raising issues tribal officials felt were not covered in the statement, the tribe requested a meeting.

Commissioners also will conduct a public hearing on first-quarter budget appropriations and extensions.

Among the requests are $10,329 for safety and security, $10,000 for the boating safety fund and $2,135 for the treasurer’s office.

The boating safety allocation was to have come out of the sheriff’s budget, but he requested that it be drawn from the general fund.

Items on the consent agenda include:

â–  An agreement with Marc Bolan Consultants regarding confidential data input of protected health information, with no financial impact.

â–  An $18,175 contract with Zephyr’s Inc. of Allyn to demolish and remove two properties in the Duckabush and Big Quilcene floodplains. Funding is provided by the state.

â–  A $4,505 contract with Kim Ninnemann and Dan McShane to provide Phase 1 environmental site assessments of up to five properties in a floodplain north of the Big Quilcene River. Funding is provided by the state.

â–  A $700 contract with Reynolds Training and Consulting for website maintenance for the Jefferson County Public Health Department.

â–  An agreement to allocate $47,000 to the Jefferson County Conservation District to promote conservation and protect and improve water quality.

â–  Allocation of $5,000 in lodging tax funds to Quilcene Brinnon Dollars for Scholars.

â–  A change order adding $35,000 to the contract with Bruch & Bruch Construction Inc. of Port Angeles for additional road realignment of Undi Road in West Jefferson County. The change increases the contract to $144,000.

â–  A $791,447 contract with Jordan Excavating Inc. of Port Angeles for culvert replacement on Upper Hoh Road. The project is funded by the Federal Highway Administration.
