6/05/2017 MINUTES 2 Head’s on an annual basis. They determined at the end of 2013 they would review the various committees they participate in and provide beneficial updates to the Board as needed during this time as well. DISCUSSION SHAFT STREET COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Osiadacz requested the Board consider supporting a request for the use of Shaft Street to continue to Progress Path from Cle Elum/Roslyn School to the City of Roslyn. She stated that the purpose of Progress Path was an effort to keep the kids off of State Route 903. She stated that the work is being done by the project coordinators and she spoke with Public Works regarding the need for striping. She stated that Public Works indicated they had no issues. The Board encouraged Commissioner Osiadacz to have Public Works add Shaft Street to the Striping Contract and expressed their support for the project. DISCUSSION FAIR BOARD COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Osiadacz stated that she had invited Clay Myers, Undersheriff/Fair Board Member to the discussion. She stated that after she presented the Boards decision on Vaping that they determined on May 30, 2017, she was frustrated as it seems she was not getting all the information. She stated the Fair Board has frustrations as well and they stem from the way the Policy was presented for discussion with the Fair Board with regard to Vaping. Clay Myers, Undersheriff/Fair Board Member stated that the way the Health Department presented it to them was that the policy was for the Fair Board to develop. He stated if that’s not the case that’s fine. But what the Fair Board and himself find frustrating is when a lot of time and effort is put into something and then the Board makes a decision that is completely opposite from the Fair Board. He stated that they can spend their time in better ways then on Policy that isn’t adopted or considered. Commissioner Jewell expressed his frustrations regarding this topic in general he stated he can’t believe they are still having this discussion. He stated it’s time for the Board to make a decision and they did. He apologized for the way the policy was presented and the miscommunication, however he indicated that the Board of County Commissioners has always tried to keep the Fair Board involved and aware of decisions/changes being made. He said he felt that by saying no smoking/no vaping it is clear and hopefully easier to enforce. OTHER BUSINESS – N/A Meeting adjourned at 9:40 a.m.
