Roundtable WITH Island County Elected OFFicials AND APPOINTED DEPARTMENT HEADS

Elected Officials and Appointed Department Heads Attending:

Tom Baenen Phil Bakke Greg Banks Bill Byrd Cathy Caryl

Sharon Franzen Mike Hawley Betty Kemp Larry Larson Elaine Marlow Tim McDonald Mac McDowell Don Meehan Bill Oakes Linda Riffe Mike Shelton Dan Sherk Suzanne Sinclair

Assessor. Noticed on e-bay the sale of a State of Washington ferry; perhaps the County might want to look into purchase for use to shuttle employees back and forth from Coupeville to Camano. Reminder: Loganberry Festival at the Greenbank Farm July 28 and 29.

Auditor. State Auditors are visiting the County; if Department Heads or Elected Officials have any questions or concerns the County Auditor's Office can assist with, please call. In answer to a question from the Sheriff, there is no "cognizant federal agency" right now because the threshold is 50 million dollars, but the Department of Health and Human Services provides the most federal money.

Budget Director Financial Steering Committee formed to look into replacement of the County's financial system is currently setting goals and preparing a RFP for a consultant to review system proposals and assist with selection of a vendor. Handed out a questionnaire for Elected Officials and Department Heads to fill out and return to help assess what departmental needs are and who to contact about financial functions. The more information work that can be accomplished before hiring a consultant will lessen the expense to the County. Please

return questionnaires to Anne LaCour by July 31, 2006.

Central Services. Received proposed contract for repeaters for county buildings from Nextel-Sprint; currently under review; need to make sure the contract covers all three county buildings. The wireless from I-COM to Coupeville campus contract undergoing contract review process. As far as the Intergovernmental network [IGN] used for Internet and web-based software from the State, this county as well as other counties, still having problems with Internet speed because of the fact IGN is being loaded up with on-line software products. Central Services is looking into bypassing the IGN for Internet.

Clerk. During the week of June 14^th implemented documenting imaging system; still working out a few glitches but it is a good system, and hopefully by the end of the year will have a significant bulk of records imaged. Those County departments interested in the system are invited during the next couple of weeks to come to the office for a demonstration.

Facilities. Busy working on the various air conditioning system complaints; ask for everyone's patience.

Health Department.

There is no "County" rat program per se', but the County Health Department can evaluate sites that may have solid waste issues or a clear threat to public health. Generally it is up to individual property owners to manage the problem by: removing areas that harbor rats [weeds, berry brambles, trash, junk]; removing sources of food [bird feeders, pet food, etc.]; and contacting a licensed pest professional.

An identification as an "exposure" to a bat changed in 1993 due to 2 deaths in Washington. Sleeping in a room with a bat in it is considered an exposure. The key is to make sure screens are up during the hot days because bats will find a place inside, especially a sick bat. Roughly 1% of all bites of each species of bats is a rabid bat.

Human Resources. Memorandum dated July 14^th sent to all Elected Officials and Appointed Department Heads transmitting the amended policy on discrimination and harassment under Resolution #C-69-06, for each employee to sign the last page, to be returned to Human Resources. At this time only a handful of departments have returned the signed policies. Reminder: be sure to have all employees read and sign the policy, and the Elected Official/Appointed Department Head return those to Human Resources as soon as possible.

Sheriff. Shared a message that actually came to a deputy via a 911 call - a Camano Island resident complaining about a vehicle in a driveway blocking their view.

WSU Extension. Lighthouse license plate sales as of Friday totaled 1428; encourage everyone to purchase Lighthouse license plate. Reminder - "A Day on the Prairie", Saturday, July 29 at Smith Farm, 399 S. Ebey Road, Coupeville.
