SEWELL UPDATE:
- Eric reported on the meeting that he, Ron and Sheila attended with the DNR
in Deer Park on Monday the 17th. Cynthia Wall of DOE was also in attendance. (Sheila's notes from that meeting are attached.)
- Section 36 is not in "transition'"
- Land can not be used for lease or sale for our use
- Way around it is to use political leverage to get the property .... from
top down
- Jamie Rohrbach the unit forester would like a chance to come speak
to Lake residents to explain how DNR uses trust lands -etc.
- If the DNR were forced to sell the property is would be for the appraised
highest use value which would be recreational development and homes and the District would have to bare all associated costs.
- Bill Lands suggests that we should work to take the line down Fertile Valley
to the parcel that the County is getting near the park toward the south end of Fertile Valley Road.
- Sewell submitted draft copies of the Comprehensive Plan for Board review
so it can be released for Agency review. In order to give the Commissioners time to study the plan, we will meet again on
the 26th at 5:00 to address any comments or questions relating to
the text portion, not really the costs. Check for accuracy and clarity. Once itis approved by the Board it will go to Ecology
of review and approval ..
- The Comprehensive plan does not settle on one system, it is mainly for the
collection system and options as to where it will go. The Facility Plan, which is the next step, deals with treatment. It
is at this point that the project would go to the County for review and approval through the SEP A process.
- Andy has given a worked up the change in scope of work for PWTF. Sheila
will review it and report back at the next meeting.
BUSINESS:
- Dave Lamb's proposal for work in 2008 was discussed. It has been resubmitted
by him as requested by the Board in the amount of $3,000. There was discussion that Dave has been instrumental in the success
of our milfoil-control efforts and that we do not want to lose his expertise. Jeff expressed concern that extra time for tasks
may be required, but it was pointed out that that issue is covered in the proposal. Dave will be paid $60 per hour (plus mileage
if travel is involved) for additional work requested by the Board as is stated in the proposal.
The next meeting to work on Comp Plan and PWTF restructure will be March 26,
at 5:00, Sheila will post at Store N More.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:50 pm
Sheila Pearman, Managing Secretary
