introduce revisions to the Lewis County Planning Policies (CWPPs) for a pubic hearing
on November 7, 2016. These changes were proposed by the Lewis County Planned
Growth Committee (a group consisting of representatives from Lewis County and each
of the incorporated communities in the county) and were unanimously recommended by
the Lewis County Planning Commission. Under the Growth Management Act, counties
are required to prepare CWPPs to coordinate the various plans of jurisdictions in the
county. Lewis County originally adopted its CWPPs in 1995 and has considered
amendments every year since that time. The Planned Growth Committee for Lewis
County, the group tasked with amending the document, met three times in 2016 to draft
the proposed CWPP changes.
Chair Schulte asked if there were any questions. There were none. He closed the
question and answer portion of the hearing and opened the formal hearing.
Lee Napier and Fred Evander asked that their previous comments be adopted into the

Start Time: 9:00 am
Present: Commissioner Fund, Commissioner Stamper, Lee Napier, Glenn Carter,
Sheriff Rob Snaza, Linda Williams and Donna Olson.
Recorder: Donna Olson
Community Development Updates and Hot Topics:
a) Business Meeting Materials for 11/14 & 11/21
Lee spoke regarding draft Ordinance 1271, which is on the agenda for
Monday, November 14th. The draft Ordinance 1271 includes new
proposed codes for marijuana production, processing, and retail sales in
unincorporated Lewis County. There are a variety of chapters, addressing
different issues and concerns identified during the County's outreach
process.
It was discussed that recently some jurisdictions are not considering
limiting the number of facilities allowed. During their last briefing with
the Prosecuting Attorney's office the Board discussed this option.
Limited areas have been identified in the ordinance for both retail and
production. Eric Eisenberg of the Prosecuting Attorney's office will cover
the changes at the meeting on Monday.
Recognizing that Lewis County is already surrounded by others allowing
retail and/or processing operations and has learned some lessons from
those jurisdictions the Board may want to consider additional code
provisions. The Board discussed with the Sheriff that Lewis County is also
impacted by those surrounding jurisdictions, even if operations are not
authorized in Lewis County.
., 360. 740. 11 46 1 .360.740.1245
On Monday, the Board has two following options. Pass draft Ordinance
1271 as proposed. Reject the draft Ordinance. Continue the hearing to a
specified date with specific instructions to staff. And/or renew the
moratorium as proposed in draft Ordinance 1272.
If the Board views the recommendations in draft Ordinance 1271 as
insufficiently addressing the concerns of the public, they can extend the
moratorium through Ordinance 1272 and direct staff to continue work on
designated issues, such as locations/buffers, advertising restrictions, odor
management or others.
b) Permit center
i) Monthly Report
Donna reported that there is a slight downturn in the number of
permits from last year for the month of October, but overall there
are still good numbers for permits and good valuations of
projects. The numbers are up overall on everything permit
related from the past couple of years.
Lee is also working with the Assessor's office and IT to improve
the transferring and reporting of permit activity data between
Adept and Sigma.
ii) Impact Washington
Lee informed the Commissioners that staff is continuing to make
progress in process improvement. The Permit Center will meet
today with Brianna Teitzel who has mapped her current process
for planning reviews and will review that with them. The entire
department is working toward consistency and standardization in
ADEPT entries.
Lee will be meeting tomorrow with the local Realtors group on
process improvement, as well as disclosure requirements and the
recent Hirst decision for Whatcom County.
c) Planning Division
i) Hirst Decision
Lee has nothing new to report today, but hopes to have more
information after the WSAC conference next week on how to
answer questions from the public. Whatcom County was legally
challenged because the claim is that they did not go far enough in
their comprehensive plan update to protect water resources. The
decision applies to exempt wells as well because of the impact
those wells may have on other established water rights in a closed
basin. The Department of Ecology has done a good job on their
website explaining the current situation and staff is able to direct
people with questions to that site. Water rights issues are very
complicated and can take years to resolve.
d) Airport
i) Packwood Runway reconstruction
No report due to lack of time
2) Other points of discussion from the Board of County Commissioners

Fair Update
November 8, 2016
11:00 a.m.
Present: Commissioner Fund, Commissioner Stamper, Steve Walton and Tamara Hayes. Guest: Linda
Williams.
Recorder: Rieva Lester
Tamara Hayes presented a plan to increase fair pricing by 10 percent across the board. She said inflation
is at 12.5 percent, and she indicated that charges have remained unchanged since 2009. She said a
small, across-the-board increase would be an easier sell than line -by-line or heavy increases.
The group also discussed beginning charging for parking for all events. A group could prepay and
essentially "buy" the parking lot for their event, Tamara said.
Commissioner Fund made a motion to approve a 10 percent increase at the Southwest Washington
Fair. Commissioner Stamper seconded the motion.
Motion carried 2-0.
Tamara discussed the need to pay for law enforcement for events that involve alcohol. She discussed
tweaking her approach for coverage, whether using sheriff's deputies or a security company.
Tamara discussed a revamped prepaid card for 2017. The family pass would cover parking and fair entry
for a family of four for one week. (The prepaid card would not cover carnival rides.) This approach would
allow the fair to keep more proceeds than in years past, she said. She also said the carnival rates, which
are set by the carnival company itself, will increase for 2017.
Commissioner Fund discussed using the fairgrounds as a stop for the STP bicyclists in July.
Tamara said the camping rate is set to be $25 in 2017.
Tamara discussed a fair superintendent who has continued to store belongings at the fairgrounds. She
said it needs to be removed or the individual needs to pay for storage. She said RV storage is charged at
$90 a month.
Tamara said some changes were proposed for the bylaws. Among the topics: whether to call the board
an advisory board or a fair commission, size requirements for the board, clarifying the way the fair
advisory board can reach the BOCC.
Commissioner Fund left the meeting at 12:09 p.m.
The group discussed the idea of TVs, kiosks, fliers with advertising, etc.

MEMORANDUM
November 8, 2016
Chief Bruce F. Kimsey
BOCC Update — October 2016
Field Operations Bureau Highlights:
Patrol: There were a total of 1,189 criminal calls for service for the month. Deputies
investigated four sex crimes, 8 DUls, 13 burglaries, 14 malicious mischiefs, and 18 assaults.
They made 293 traffic stops, resulting in 76 infractions and 29 citations for DWLS. Deputies
also responded to numerous missing persons in east Lewis County.
SET: From January to November, a total of 155 arrests have been made by the Sheriff's
Enforcement Team. They have also made 502 traffic stops and handled 598 calls for service.
Due to current staffing levels, SET deputies will be temporarily filling Patrol vacancies.
JNET: On September 26, JNET, SET, and the U.S. Marshals Service executed a search
warrant in the 200 block of Newaukum Golf Drive, in rural Chehalis. This was the result of an
ongoing JNET investigation into Drannon Bradley Smyth, a 23-year-old Chehalis resident. As
a result of the warrant service, Smyth was arrested for 13 counts Unlawful Possession of a
Firearm, Possession of Stolen Firearms, Unlawful Possession of Heroin and Meth with Intent
to Deliver, Unlawful Possession of Prescription Pills, and LSD. Seized during the search
warrant were numerous firearms, large amounts of heroin, methamphetamine, and hundreds
of prescription pills. In addition, Smyth admitted to purchasing three sports -type cars using
either controlled substances, or proceeds of selling controlled substances. Of the 18 firearms
seized by JNET, several have been determined to have been stolen from within Lewis County
Staffing: Deputy Scott Robb is progressing well at the Criminal Justice Training Academy.
Corrections Deputies Julie Jacobo and Emmet Woods were selected as internal transfers to
Patrol after passing the testing procedures to become entry-level deputies. Both are starting
the Basic Law Enforcement Academy this week, with graduation scheduled for March 2017.
In addition, we have an entry-level deputy continuing on Field Training, and we lost two
deputies to lateral transfers (one to Thurston County Sheriff's Office, and one to Centralia
Police Department), but we are hoping to pick up two laterals, from local agencies, in the next
month.

promotion is coming due now and two more are coming in a few weeks. Erik noted that if
funding is an issue, we do have some budgeted unfilled positions that we could eliminate.
One of them is a utility position which would save about $75k. Further discussion was

RMTs. Gary noted he would like to look at this again after the 1st of the year.

Health and Social Services Budget Meeting
November 9, 2016
12:00 p.m.
Present: Commissioner Fund, Commissioner Stamper, Danette York, Steve Walton, and Becky Butler.
Recorder: Candace Hallom
Discussed Positions impacts to the budget
Animal Control — Danette discussed Animal Control belongs under the Sheriff department. I was placed
under code enforcement because of the cost. The position was increased to full time in 2016. Sheriff
would like to take animal control back but would like to add a deputy that handles animal control. The
Sheriff would still like the Health to do permitting and would like the deputy to do the inspections. If the
Sheriff wants to do the inspections, then he would need to take care of permitting as well. Health
would not have the additional staff once the Sheriff takes animal control.
Environmental Health Specialist- Danette discussed the benefits of having this position. This is a
mandated program. Ecology is having to step in an assist us with compliance. This position would allow
us to inspect properties right away and give recommendations to ecology. We would also be able to
charge fees to help cover the cost. This would allow them to also start looking at pools and spas in the
county also allowing us to collect fees. This position would increase the budget by $60,000.
Becky recommended taking all the information into account and see what the bottom line is.
Danette stated every year we do everything we can to keep the current expense at a minimum
They discussed the Customer Services position and that Nancy will be retiring in May.
The BOCC will talk further with Rob Snaza about the animal control position.
