Thank you for the report. A 6" curb sounds like a bad idea but opposing it would just play into Ozias's delay agenda. Sounds like it's time to send another note of encouragement to Commissioners Johnson and French.

Wow, how can I cram 3+hours of commenting onto this page? Were there records set today recreating Hoover Dam, oh I meant Towne Road levee? Most awards are engineering for creation, design and construction of a road on a levee, great it’s a well built levee. Salmon are not going to swim up the river in a wetland area, they require water FLOW to swim upstream. Salmon don’t spawn until August waiting in the Dungeness Bay. The wetlands will get water when the river overflows its bank otherwise it will be a mosquito breeding ground & salmon will not benefit unless bugs wash out to the bay & the lower Dungeness River. Salmon are in low numbers because of tribal net fishing boats and crabbing can’t be regulated by numbers either. Once the water flow decreases & temps rise in summer fish will remain in the bay. Are fishery’s releasing enough fish? Look around are the rivers remaining intact, one large main flow, or are there many smaller tributaries being created by the tribe that reduce the main water flow making it harder for fish on the Dungeness? Jeff nailed todays meeting, the players who want to go with the flow and the two who didn’t, so typical. I can’t say I’ve ever witnessed such a show of determination (nice word) to continue on with the patience of the zoom & board room audience, expert presentation attendees, facts and numbers, and statements of position by one County Commissioner EVER! But I had never seen a wife of a Commissioner admonish taxpayers and comment about how wonderful her hard working husband is either. All I can say is today was another first, and I hope it’s the last. The other Commissioners stood their ground against the Godfather II brouhaha, however a swift moderation was definitely past due.
