The meeting was called to order by Chair Joe Murray at 5:10. Joe Murray indicated that this session would be dedicated to establishing subjects for the town meeting.
It was moved and seconded that the minutes from the previous meeting be approved as written except that the member attendance would be changed to reflect the attending members rather than listing those that were not in attendance. Additionally, it was suggested not to make the minutes so detailed in the future (just more of an outline or notes).
After contributions from all members, the following subjects were suggested for the town meeting.

United Way (Jody Moss?): United Way funds distribution and contribution drives.

****************************
We are very interested in assisting seniors in
Clallam
Bay. There may be grant resources available to help meet your
community's particular needs, but we would need to learn more about
the issues unique to Clallam Bay (which I know remoteness is a big
one!). Our Partnership is about transforming how aging is viewed in
our county AND how elders are served, so we would be very interested
in coming out to talk with you (and others) about how we might work
together. Do you have any community events/meetings scheduled in the
near future that would be appropriate for us to attend?
We look forward to talking with you -

Other Items
Patti Adler indicated that the
Chamber was considering having a local agency community meeting
involving each of the local agencies (the Lyons club, the seniors,
the west end Youth, the Crisis Center, the local Food Bank, the
Advisory Council, the Chamber, etc.) to discuss what each group has
accomplish over the years and what is intended in the future. The
Advisory Council relayed to Patti, that the Council would definitely
contribute to the group agency meeting.
The Clallam County Park bridge was finally repaired by the county (temporarily dug up and placed the end of the walkway onto the beach). The county (as stated at the $100 K grant community meeting) is considering a permanent repair for the bridge, such as an articulating walkway, which is raised in the wintertime.
Sekiu Airport: Ted Muralt said that the Sekiu Airport meeting was concluded on June 28th with the Port Authorities (Robert McChesney: Exec. Dir., John Calhoun: Vice President, and Jeffery Robb: Airport/Marinas Mgr.), the Sekiu airport committee (Patt Ness, Arlen Olson and Martin Brand) and the Advisory Council members (Mike Doherty and Ted Muralt). The Port Authorities walked the runway with Martin Brand, assessed the conditions and made assurances that the port was committed to maintain the Airport. However, there appears to be no move to contract the project.
The next Meeting to be on September 26, 5:00 PM at the School Administration Office. Preliminary agenda is to firm up the town meeting subjects, proposed participants and time.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:30.
Respectfully,
Ted Muralt Secretary.
