Unfinished Business:

1. Campground:

Port Manager Chris Phalen reported that the park is still a mess after the storm. It needs a lot of gravel moved around. Petty cash is $1,627.62 and the bank has $215.00 from the park. Port Manager Phalen said she transferred $15,000.00 to the State Pool from the General funds, making that $100,000.00 and General funds at $37,000.00. Chairperson McLean said after the December 3^rd storm, the park needs to be cleaned up and a lot of work will need to be done to move the gravel around. Port Manager Chris Phalen was asked to call FEMA and other places to see if there was money available to help us. She was also asked to contact South Shore for a bid on doing the work.

1. Website:

Ken Jarstad did not attend the meeting on the account of all the roads being washed out, so we have no report.

2. Land Clearing:

Port Manager Chris Phalen said she had an email about the land clearing and was told they were going to start the last week of January, weather permitting.

3. Raise for Port Manager:

Commissioners told her to put together a letter with figures for next month to take affect retroactive from the first of January 2008. Since she was promised a raise last October. Port Manger Chris Phalen said the money was budgeted for the raise along with having a CPA since Shelton is not going to do our book keeping any more. Port Manager Chris Phalen said she hired a CPA from Silverdale so she could save some trips back and forth to his office, since she is in Silverdale every Friday.

New Business:

Commissioner Edwards said maybe we could work something out with Manke and get the property below us and get it all cleaned at the same time. He said the damage to the campground was not as bad and the utilities were not affected. He added that one of the tables in 31-33 is half buried. It was the area that got the worst damage. There is a nice sandy bar out there now. Commissioner Edwards said we need to get someone to do the work that is in that business, and get the campground in condition for people to use. Commissioner Edwards then added that everything is surface stuff that needs to be moved around and leveled off. There are a lot of big rocks in different places. He walked down below and there are fish carcasses 4 feet up in brush. This proved how high and powerful the water was. The county graded and picked up some stuff that washed from across the road right down into the park and put all the rocks and dirt in the kitchen. Commissioner Edwards said FEMA is not giving the money to you; they will load it to you.

Our next meeting will be February 6, 2008 at 7:00p.m.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:26 p.m.
