" But you never know the Port can suddenly call for yet another special meeting at any moment!"
Readers, at first blush, the County Commission looks to be the only show happening this coming week. It's one of those occasions that the county is the only meeting being held simply because they meet on a weekly basis, the others all meet twice a week. BUT! lately the Port has been calling special meetings on a dime with very little warning, so your never know what can happen these days.
Now, a look at what is going on with the County this week. For starters on Monday, during their work session the highlight topic on their agenda is: Memorandum of Understanding with Crescent Community Advisory Council to clarify responsibilities regarding the Council’s use of funds that remain after the dissolution of the Crescent Television Reception Improvement District in the amount of $1,355.21

During their Tuesday regular session the highlight item on the agenda is: Ordinance amending Clallam County Code Chapter 27.12 Critical Areas, to regulate new and existing agricultural uses.
According to the staff memo provided:
Since the Planning Commission approved the u@ates to the Critical Area Code on September 2L,2016 this issue was presented to the Board of CounÇ Commissioners (BOCC) at a work session on October 10, 2016. The BOCC did not have any issues with the proposed updates to the Critical Area Code and commended the Department of Community Development (DCD), the Clallam Conservation District & the Planning Commission (PC) on the proposed updates. A Public Hearing before the BOCC was held on November 8, 2016. This matter was continued to the November 22, 2016 BOCC meeting.
Before and after the public hearing held on November 8, 2016 before the BOCÇ Protect Peninsula Future (PPF) provided submitted comments with suggested changes to the Risk Assessment Table found in Title 27.L2.037(A) of the proposed update. DCD worked with PPF, our legal counsel, the Clallam Conservation District, and the WA State Department of Ecology to address their concerns, to make sure these changes were not significant from what was passed by the PC, and to ensure that the changes still met the objective of the proposed update. On November 8,20L6, the BOCC asked that the proposed changes be provided to the Planning Commission for their input.
On November 16, 2016 DCD provided the Planning commission with the changes to the Risk Assessment Table that included the modifying the definition of fully-vegetated in footnote 2 and adding a definition of well vegetated in footnote 3. With the exception of adding the word approximately to the last sentence of footnote 3 the Planning Commission agreed to the changes to the Risk Assessment Table. They also thought the use of footnotes in the Risk Assessment Table was an improvement over the original format that they approved.
