Motion carried unanimously. Chair Botkin gave a brief overview of Referendum No. 51. Duane Overall believes Kitsap transit is a good system but a waste of funds because there are not that many people who rode buses. He believes it would be more cost effective if vouchers were issued for a private cab instead of running the transit system. Mike Watkins is concerned about the ferry commuter traffic and is favor of a $.36 per gallon gas tax increase if it would be effective. He is not in favor of Referendum No. 51. George Rankin is concerned about the 1% surcharge on new or used vehicles and the possible exclusion of trucks and recreational vehicles. Rankin said he is unsure of how he would vote on Referendum No. 51. Vivian Henderson said she would vote no on the Referendum. Ralls Clotfelter believes there is no need for additional ferries and will vote against the referendum. Senator Bob Oke, 26th Legislative District, said there would be $47 million spent on Retsil Veteran Home and most of those jobs would be local. He also commented on the groundbreaking ceremony and the need for the second Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Relative to referendum No. 51Oke said, the state would not be getting additional ferries with those monies but would be replacing four existing ferries that were at least 80 years old. He said there is a $40 billion need in transportation and the approximate $35 million per year received at the gas pumps goes for roads and ferries. He said if the referendum fails, there would be no high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane on the second Tacoma Narrows Bridge and after crossing the bridge an individual wouldn't "go anywhere" because of the heavy "parking lot" type traffic. He is concerned that the majority of the people in this community would pay for the bridge. He believes if this referendum fails, the state would go down in that Boeing is leaving the area and other companies may follow. Senator Oke also said if the referendum fails, the legislature would not consider any action for at least four years even if then. He said the state's general fund budget is the worse that he has ever seen. He believes he has done the best job that he could and looks forward to the second bridge being built. Discussion was held between the Board and Senator Oke regarding whether the toll booths would be on the Gig Harbor side, three lanes on the bridge, HOV lane if the measure passes, Referendum No. 51 not being a panacea for all transportation issues, investing in our infrastructure, transportation safety issues, the state's economy if this measure fails, possible higher gas tax, the amount of funding allocated to the transit system, congestion on the roadways, possibility of passenger only ferries in Southworth and Kingston, access service, transit service for park and ride lots and taxes from the problem should be used to help solve the problem. 9) BOARD OF COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS: A.
