QUICK COMMENTS, ITEMS TO ADD TO AGENDA, APPROVAL OF MINUTES, ETC.
 It was noted that Policy Committee normally meets on the Second Monday
 . . Transportation Committee normally meets on the Fourth Monday
 . . and Forestry Committee normally meets on the First Thursday
 Also, the quarterly ferry advisory committee meetings scheduled for April
will probably be delayed until May because of Legislative inaction

Election of New Chair
 Rick Frye was elected new chair, unanimously

Update on ongoing activities -- not necessarily in order discussed

 Nancy Douglas reported the Vashon Island Medical Disaster Preparedness
Seminar will be held as scheduled, 5/20-21 -- She handed out a flyer that
gave details -- most of the funding is in place.

 So far, Carol reported, there is no interest in using the Park & Ride
opportunities at Vashon Market -- also the Chamber has expressed an interest
in restricting street parking

 Discussion of various safety issues with regard to Morgan Hill -- speeding,
shoulder parking, etc. -- Scott Sawhill of KC roads will explore some
remedies

 Wolftown is interested (and will come get) fresh road kill

 Rick Frye discussed issues and concerns relative to the development of a
fire department strategic plan -- are we headed down a new path that will
effectively discourage community involvement in the department

 Jim Didricksen says he (KC roads) will repair giant sink hole on north end
boat ramp -- and then see who really is going to pay for it

Future Activities
 Need to re-establish viable contacts with King County police
 Need to re-examine the value of daytime committee meetings
