PORT LUDLOW VILLAGE COUNCIL

Workshop Meeting Minutes

 February, 2007 

 

 

The meeting was convened at 3 p.m. at the Bay Club (the meeting was relocated from the Beach Club because of a misunderstanding).  Present were Larry Nobles, Don Clark, Tom McCay, Bill Browne, Terry O’Brien, Adele Govert and Gene Carmody.  (Absent: Allen Panasuk, Tony Durham, Frank Siler,  Suzanne Graber, and Lani McCarry).

 

There were 9 guests in attendance.

 

Items discussed included:

 

Utilities Committee:  Walt Carins, with support of other committee members gave a status report of the committee.  This was an extension of a committee report given earlier summarizing the committee activities through 2005.  During the past two years the committee members visited two utility districts to better understand their operations.  At this point the committee suggests that if there is a transfer of owners of water and sewer district that we support the transfer to Jefferson County PUD or a special purpose district and not the sale to another utility company.  The rational for this recommendation was discussed.  Council members asked the committee members to prepare a proposal for the next stage of their endeavors.  The committee members and anyone else have an opportunity for a tour of Port Ludlow’s water and sewer facilities on Monday, February 26th.  If interested, the tour will form at the Conference Center at 9 a.m.

 

Phone Book Committee: Dave Armitage reported that the preparation of the 2007-2009 phone book is about complete and should go to press late in March for projected availability by April 15.  The sales of yellow pages should generate $12000 in revenue.

 

Communications Committee:  Larry Nobles reported that Jack McKay had accepted the appointment as chair of the committee.  Jack will be submitting a list of recommended committee members at the next General meeting (March 1).

 

Community Development Committee: Tom McCay reported that the committee had reviewed the examiners Port Ludlow Build-Out and Marina Expansion Project with a favorable evaluation.  They will be suggesting that the PLVC go on record as concurring with their recommendation.  One board member asked if it is appropriate for the PLVC to be forwarding this type of recommendations as a majority of the community may not agree with it.  Terry O’Brien said that the LMC is preparing to file a Motion for Reconsideration.  Some board members and some of the guests expressed confusion in regard to the PLVC mission and whether it included this type of activity.

 

Policy and Procedures:  Larry Nobles asked the board members review the documents (located on the PLVC web site) and forward any suggestions to him before the General Meeting scheduled for March 1.

 

Meeting ended 5:20 p.m.

 

There were no motions made and no votes taken.

 

Respectfully,

Bill Browne

PLVC Secretary (02/20/07)
