Sheriff Clay Myers stated that with the increase in <br />cases and evidence the need for a secured storage area is apparent. <br />Sheriff Clay Myers continued that staff has discussed options with <br />one being the upgrade of the parking lot on the north side of Sixth <br />(6th) Street or the current fenced area at Bowers Field currently <br />being leased by the ERR Fund in Public Works. Mark Cook stated that <br />he has had conversations with Airport Operations Director Benjamin <br />West about the facility at Bowers Field and to comply with County <br />Road Administration Board monitoring the use of road funds the <br />Airport fund would need to reimburse for the upgrades at the site <br />which is approximately fifty three thousand dollars ($53,000). Mark <br />Cook added that he has directed staff to start moving Public Works <br />stored materials in anticipation of terminating the lease for the <br />site. Patti Johnson stated that she would recommend the site at <br />Bowers Field because the site on Sixth (6th) Street is within city <br />limits and zoning could be a concern. Discussion was held. Staff <br />was directed to come back with a detailed plan for discussion. <br />SNOQUALMIE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT FRANCHISE AGREEMENT <br />Mark Cook reported that after a recent site visit on a project on <br />Yellowstone Road staff discovered an open cut in the roadway. Mark <br />Cook stated that after some research it was work being conducted by <br />Snoqualmie Public Utility District (SPUD) for service repairs. Mark <br />Cook continued that SPUD was noticed that a Right of Way Permit was <br />required to perform work in the county road right of way. Mark Cook <br />added that this opened a broader discussion on a current franchise <br />agreement, which, it appears one is not on file for SPUD. Mark Cook <br />stated that SPUD will now need to apply for the franchise <br />2020-09-14 MINUTES <br />
