Remarks by Sheila Westerman at Council Meeting last night Aug.7, 2023
I don't know David Faber, or most of the new council members. Up to this point, I had hoped that
they and the City Manager would listen carefully to our community (all of us), explore future options
(including doing nothing) and not come to decisions based on pre -conceived notions of what they
think (especially the Mayor and City Manager) is most appropriate for the future of our community.
Here's what I do know:
I came here in 1971 after graduation from the University of Washington. I have been involved in the
fishing community, boat building community, the small business community, and the nonprofit
community. I was a City Councilmember for two terms and served 25 years on the Jefferson County
Board of Health.
The point of this dissertation: I have interacted with lots of diverse people in this community. Public
processes are messy and need to be built on trust and transparency. I have been actively involved in
many complicated and contentious public planning processes to chart a path for the future of our
community: Gateway Development Plan, Urban Waterfront Plan, Downtown Parking Plans, the City
Comprehensive Plan, Northwest Maritime Center, public health plans, etc. I have never seen such a
sham public process and arrogance from our Mayor, City Manager and Council as I am witnessing
with the golf course public process. How does the Mayor and Council know what the so-called
"silent majority" really thinks? It seems to me that the stakeholder group was not very
representative of our community, and especially golf course stakeholders. This public process lacks
valid surveys, concrete data and relies mostly on what the Mayor and Council wants to hear from
their "silent majority." This clearly ignores the fundamental basics of running a fair and transparent
public planning process that respects our citizens and the most affected stakeholders. It is time to
rethink this whole process. The golf course is an important part of our historic legacy, charm, quality
of life and what makes PT such a special place.

Just some thoughts I have had about all of this.
I was born in Port Townsend and grew up believing that the golf course was a gift to the
town and would be ours forever. It is our gem, our treasure. I have always loved the green
space in the middle of town and still consider myself fortunate to have been able to return
to my hometown as an adult to raise my family. We love going to the restaurant at the
course and any events hosted there. It is such a beautiful space and well-maintained by
Gabe and his volunteers. It is a beauty that not many towns have and I would hate to see it
change. Once it's gone, it's gone.
I know of some recents PTHS grads who play at the golf course several days a week. I am
doubtful that these young folks would make the trip to Chevy Chase or the Port Ludlow
course. Not all of them even drive.
I had not been to the Kah Tai Lagoon Nature Park in several years, as I was concerned for
my safety in that area. I decided to give it another try last month on a hot day. I thought it
would be cooler there for my pups' afternoon exercise. After walking along the trail by the
lagoon for several minutes, I heard some noises but didn't notice anyone, then I saw a man
making noises while lying on his back, a few feet from the trail, trying to open a bottle of
booze. I turned around and left. Can't some progress be made to get the trails we already
have back in working order so we can feel safe using them??
I am appalled at how ugly our town looks now that the city does not do any mowing. I am
not sure what the backup plan is, or is there one? My walking route is unsafe for my dogs in
parts because of the overgrown weeds (many foxtails) on the sidewalks. Who is supposed
to tell the people who are not cutting their weeds, that they have to. Or else ... or else what?
It has been months now and my road is getting narrower, as the weeds have taken over
and the bushes have grown out into the road. Visibility is poor in many spots because of the
tall weeds. It is really hard now to see animals that are near the edge of the road. It's
depressing to see our town have an uncared-for look - and I am also embarrassed for what
PT's visitors think.
A great worry of mine is that if there is no golf course, who will maintain those grounds, if
the right-of-ways can't even be cared for, for safety's sake? There has to be a way to keep
the golf course and also please some of the folks who want some other things on that
property. Yes, and Robert Horner did a wonderful job of creating such a plan. We really
need to have that up for consideration.
Thanks for reading. I took the attached photo while we were at the golf course enjoying a
meal and the gorgeous scenery.

CAUTION: External Email
The golf course property in the middle of our beautiful city needs to be preserved as a golf course and additionally
many other public uses that could be on this gem of a site, not to include housing at this location. I am not a golfer
but I look forward to being involved as a volunteer to having this land be used by many age groups, organizations
and interests. There are many new volunteers willing to step tip and be involved. I want this golf course preserved
and am joining many others who feel the same way. Thank you, Liz Berman

Dear Mayor Faber, Deputy Mayor Howard and the rest of City Council,
I was alerted to the consent agenda item about a on-site host for Kah Tai Park and was prepared to do an oral
comment, until I heard the comments that happened.
I am disturbed by the tone of some of the comments. I know your roots in this community and how you deal with
your dirties with a love for this community, a commitment for being thorough, and representative of the diversity of
your citizens.
The Public Comment that I intended to make is this:
I urge the City Council to include in their vision for Kah Tai Park a hosted overnight Safe Park for individuals living
in their vehicles. With a host present it would be possible to monitor the area, limit the number of vehicles, and
make sure they leave in the morning. I am not suggesting that this become another version of "an open air shelter"
like Caswell Brown, but rather somewhere people who are living in their vehicles can park overnight with access to
a bathroom, which is better for the people and the community, than having people sleeping in their vehicles at
random places around our community without access to sanitation.
Thank you for listening, Julia Cochrane

Hello, I realize I didn't leave my name at the bottom of my email (although it is in the email

Safe Parking FAQ Final 202209271603086524.2df
Agenda Bill AB23-206 Meeting Date: August 7, 2023 Consent Agenda Item. VII.G
Kah Tai Nature Park Caretaker RV Site:
As a Housing Advocate, I applaud the efforts of the City to address
issues at the Kah Tai Nature Park by planning to create a Park
Caretaker Host RV site in the park.
"Kah Tai Nature Park had previously been subject to ongoing vandalism, staff
constraints, and in turn became a space for the unhoused community. The
restrooms were closed due to these issues over 10 years ago and little has been
done as far as capital improvements. "
I urge the City Council, Public Works officials Michael Todd,
Facilities and Parks Manager, and Steve King, PW Kah Tai Director
to expand the vision of their efforts for developing a Host RV site
at Kah Tai to include creating a Temporary Hosted Overnight Safe
Park in the parking lot of the KahTai grounds near the public
restrooms once this Caretaker Host RV site project is completed.
What is a Safe Park?
A Safe Park is a supervised parking lot that is temporarily utilized by a social service
provider, municipality or religious organization to provide a legal, safe and managed
location for people experiencing homelessness to park their vehicle and sleep at
night. The Safe Parking sites provide a greater level of safety and stability to vehicle
residents through providing access to services. They also help protect the health,
welfare and safety of the general public through regulations including requiring
sanitation facilities, a code of conduct for people living in vehicles, and a site safety
and security plan. In most areas, these sites are not permitted to charge rent to
vehicle residents.
The Safe Parking program is open overnight, (I.E. from 7 p.m. until 9 a.m.) to those
who are living in their cars, vans, or RVs/campers; have an operable vehicle and a
valid driver's license; agree to the site rules and requirements; and sign a "Resident
Application."
(Copies of sample documents are attached)
Vehicular homelessness—referring to individuals and households living in cars,
vans, recreational vehicles (RVs), and other vehicles—is one of the fastest growing
segments of the unhoused population (Ho, 2019; Lyons -Warren & Lowery, 2020).
Estimates are that 50% of the unhoused population in Seattle lives in a vehicle. (All
Home, 2020; Applied Survey Research, 2019c) A notable proportion of homeless
individuals identified in the Jefferson County Point in Time Count live in vehicles.
Although people living in vehicles are comparatively "better off" than their unsheltered
peers, this temporary form of shelter is still precarious. Vehicular residents have
reported a life of con scant mobility in finding safe places to park, a lack of ability to
cook for or clean themselves, and a fear of ticketing, towing, and potentially the loss
of their vehicle (Pruss et al., 2022; Wakin, 2014).
Who are these People who live in their vehicles?
Homelessness continues to grow and to affect the lives of an increas ingly diverse
group of individuals. An overlooked popu lation is the growing number of the
unhoused living in vehicles. It is important to understand the characteristics of
peo ple living in vehicles and the extent to which they differ from the non vehicular
unhoused population. Compared to those living in tents, in makeshift shelters,
and in public spaces, people living in vehicles are more likely to be women and
to live in larger households with children, and are less likely to be "chronically
unhoused"" (NOTE: We had 3 families living in RV's who were forced to leave
their local parking lot sites in PT during Covid)
Safe parking programs can pro vide temporary relief to those living in vehicles and, if
done well, the interventions necessary to transition into permanent housing
*(Chronic homelessness is used to describe people who have experienced
homelessness for at least a year — or repeatedly — while struggling with a disabling
condition such as a serious mental illness, substance use disorder, or physical
disability.)
WHAT SERVICES DO SAFE PARKING PROGRAMS PROVIDE?
. • Temporarily safely park and sleep in their vehicle in a parking lot with an on-site
host and a set schedule (ex: 7 pm until 9 am)
• Access and use a restroom and handwashing station on-site
• Obtain referrals to community resources such as housing, medical, benefits,
education, employment.
Why the Kah Tai Nature Park Location?
"The plan is to create a caretaker host RV site to bring needed visibility and site lines
back to the park. I believe this opportunity will spark new life in the park and in
addition will add the much needed support from an onsite caretaker that will assist
with the ongoing weekly and daily maintenance. In addition, with a caretaker present
we can look at reopening the restrooms to the public." --- and hopefully providing a
temporary Safe Park shelter site in the parking lot for women and families who
live in their vehicles andfrom which they can access community-based
housing support and related services.
It takes the whole village...

SafeIIIIIIII IIIIIIII ��FAQ
What is "Safe Parking"?
Safe Parking is when a parking lot is utilized by a social service provider or religious organization to
provide a safe and managed location for people experiencing homelessness to park their vehicle and
sleep at night. The sites provide a greater level of safety and stability to vehicle residents through
providing access to services. They also help protect the health, welfare and safety of the general public
through regulations including requiring sanitation facilities, a code of conduct for residents living in
vehicles, and a site safety and security plan. In Pierce County, these sites also are not permitted to charge
rent to vehicle residents.
Is Safe Parking new to Pierce County?
Safe Parking on properties owned or controlled by religious organizations has been permitted under
Washington State law since 2020. Safe Parking sites were established in Pierce County during the
pandemic, as an alternative to congregate shelters in order to limit exposure to the COVID virus. In the
last few years, these sites have proven to be useful in getting people experiencing homelessness away
from unsanctioned camps and to a location that can not only provide stability but also give them access
to services.
Why is the County adopting this ordinance now?
An interim ordinance took effect on July 1, 2022, that created a pilot program for Safe Parking on civic
and commercial sites in the urban growth area. In that ordinance, Council directed Planning and Public
Works (PPW) to draft permanent Safe Parking regulations by the end of the year. The permanent
regulations clarify the roles and responsibilities of County Departments, allow Safe Parking on civic and
commercial sites outside of the urban growth area, and define more requirements that hosts must meet
to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public as well as residents living in vehicles.
Where will these be allowed?
It is important to note that State law mandates that these be allowed on all properties owned or
controlled by a religious organization, including in rural and residential areas. The County cannot prohibit
these Safe Parking sites when there is an existing, permitted parking lot, only implement certain
regulations regarding what is required of those properties.
Under the County's proposed regulations, Safe Parking sites will be allowed on properties with a legally
established parking lot where homeless shelters are already a permitted use in the �0irflir)....... ,c.:b,. These
regulations apply to unincorporated Pierce County only. If located in a city or town, please contact the
respective jurisdiction for their process.
Can property owners be required to allow Safe Parking on their property?
No. The party that owns or controls the property must consent to Safe Parking being allowed.
Will these sites be safe? Won't this create a lot of problems in the surrounding neighborhood?
The proposed regulations include numerous requirements of the organizations hosting them as well as
general requirements of those staying there. No Safe Parking site will be established until they enter
a memorandum of understanding with the County that outlines the requirements specific to the
proposal of that site. Some of the requirements include:
• A code of conduct that requires all residents living in vehicles at Safe Parking to be a good
neighbor and participate in keeping the site clean. The host organization must also identify how
they plan to enforce this code of conduct.
• A site safety and security plan.
• Sanitation facilities and trash receptacles.
• Background checks for residents.
• Any vehicles are to remain in working condition.
Part of the agreement with the County is that these conditions will be followed. If the conditions are not
being met, the memorandum of understanding allowing the Safe Parking site can be canceled.
How big will these sites be?
The size of any Safe Parking site will be dependent on the size of the parking lot. The site must still
provide adequate parking for any existing uses and no more than 20% of the existing parking spaces can
be used for Safe Parking purposes. For properties not owned or controlled by a religious organization,
the absolute maximum is 20 parking spaces to be used for Safe Parking purposes.
Who will operate these sites?
As permitted under State Law, religious organizations can operate these sites on their property. On non-
religious properties, Safe Parking sites must be operated by a social service organization with experience
managing Safe Parking sites and/or relevant credentials the County believes demonstrates they are likely
to be successful in operating a Safe Parking site.
How will I know if a Safe Parking site opens near me?
All Safe Parking site hosts must conduct a public meeting 7 calendar days prior to finalizing a
Memorandum of Understanding to discuss any neighborhood concerns. Depending on how close you
are to a proposed Safe Parking site, you may receive a notice of a public meeting prior to the County
entering a memorandum of understanding with an organization. A notice of this meeting will also be
posted at the proposed Safe Parking site and at the meeting site. If you have questions about whether a
property is permitted to host overnight parking, you may contact the County to verify.
Who do I call if there's a problem with a permitted Safe Parking site?
All permitted Safe Parking sites will be required to post contact information for a site liaison tasked with
addressing neighbor concerns. Depending on the size of the Safe Parking site there may also be an onsite
coordinator who assists with ensuring residents living in vehicles follow the code of conduct.
What other resources are available to the homeless?
There are around 1,300 shelter beds across Pierce County, however none of these are in unincorporated
Pierce County. Shelter beds utilization is always above 96% in use. In a typical week, around 120 new
individuals enter shelter. Shelter bed availability and a map with shelter sites are available at:

Attachments: golf course schematic housing trails that go nowhere.png
I'm a non -golfer, and I walk several miles a day in P.T., but I've never felt deprived or excluded because I can't walk
on the golf course. Why would I7 Port Townsend is full of trails, parks, sidewalks, and beaches; it's extremely and
infinitely walkable. I also don't feel excluded because I can't walk across Memorial Field during a football game, or
through a pickle ball court or a basketball court when people are playing.
My kids grew tip here, and even though they couldn't play frisbee, croquet, tennis, basketball, soccer, horseshoes,
baseball or anything other than golf on the golf course, they weren't deprived or excluded; there were a million other
places where they could, and did, enjoy all these activities and more. And all those places for sports other than golf
are still here and are still being used.
Only 5% of the population of Port Townsend used the swimming pool in 2022, but even those of us who never use
the pool aren't complaining that we can't play other sports or have picnics in it, and aren't asking to eliminate it, even
though it costs P.T. hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. ($276,000 according to the YMCA 2022 annual
report on the Mt. View pool, or $387,190 according to the City of P.T.'s 2022 budget, tinder "Community Services
Fund, Budget Summary." The $387,190 figure is more than half of the Parks Maintenance budget.
The golf course, on the other hand, cost P.T. a total of $31,568 in 2022. ($29,843 for city water, plus $11,725 for
"Repairs/Maintenance/Professional Services", minus $10,000 in revenue from the course.

We're all trying to understand where the impetus to target the golf course came from, because though it makes no
apparent sense, the City Council has spent huge amounts of money on trying to create the illusion of public demand
to eliminate the golf course. My own guess is that the real issue with the golf course is that it's open, public land
that could provide lots of profit to investors in so-called "public/private partnerships" to build housing, as imagined
in depressing schematics like the one I've attached.
Maybe you have to have lived in Port Townsend as an adult for at least a few decades to appreciate how deeply
damaging and destructive the City Council's actions with regard to the golf course have been so far, and to
understand how very long the anger and distrust, as well as the schisms in the community, generated by these
actions will probably last.
I hope you will decide to take several steps backwards and leave our much -loved, historic golf course alone.
Sincerely,
Kris DeWeese

As a frequent visitor to PT our family plays often at this course. It is a unique course and reasonable for 5 people.
would be a DISGRACE to develop this property. Keep Open space OPEN. If it is developed it can never be

RE: Golf Course
Dear Representatives for the Citizens of Port Townsend.
Thank you for stepping up to advocate for the history, land and people of this community. Your
thoughtful lack of bias is so crucial as we invigorate a legacy through the next hundred years.
For 23 years, my father, Dale Judy, was a council member. He said doing his homework was
essential to serving on the council. Many dedicated people with high ideals and fiscal
knowledge have represented the individuals in our constituency. I know making a decision to
be in the public sector and hold office is a big deal. Please consider my thoughts as an elder
and third generation resident.
Utilize the wisdom, enthusiasm and experience in our community gained as a result of the
survey. Assess pervading sentiments; renew tireless efforts that allow local citizens to
implement a viable and solution.
- Resist divisive comments and actions.
- Restore the gem that is our unique golf course.
- Regroup to allow investigation of maintenance and equipment.
- Recognize the potential for developing this golf course to high standard of excellence.
- Revitalize this process to create steps for a shared vision.
You all know too well the problems that abound. Move forward by choosing the golf course,
continue to ask for and listen to the ideas of local people willing to initiate solutions.
People and volunteers are the backbone of this community, not a silent majority. The term
silent majority is a pejorative and political term developed by Richard Nixon. In fall 2022,
people paid for a full page in the Leader to support keeping the golf course. Check out the next
full page ad in the Leader to save the golf course. Those signing and paying for this printed
page love our town, appreciate hard work and are a valuable resource.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Background:
The last time the sewer plan was updated was in 2000. The City Council authorized a
contract with RH2 Engineering on February 16, 2021, to update and prepare a new
General Sewer Plan. Subsequently the contract was expanded to include analysis of
the Wastewater Treatment Plant associated with Puget Sound Nutrient General Permit
on January 3, 2022. At the City Council workshop in May of 2022 for the General
Sewer Plan Update, staff introduced the scope of the project. An additional supplement
was issued to the contract with RH2 Engineering to add an analysis of the septic
receiving and treatment system at the compost facility. Council approved an interlocal
agreement with Jefferson County on September 19, 2022, to provide for the County's
contribution to evaluating options for expanding capacity of the septage receiving
facility. Over the past couple of years with all of the developments in the world of the
sewer utility, staff and RH2 Engineering have been working through development of the
key elements of the General Sewer Plan.
Objective of Workshop
The objective of this workshop is to present the City Council with General Sewer Plan
findings in preparation for finalizing the General Sewer Plan and performing a rate
analysis. The sewer rate ordinance expires at the end of this year. Rate increases are
expected and this overview provides information behind the sewer system infrastructure
and operational needs in an attempt to strike a balance between critical needs and
impact to ratepayers. Many details of system operations and capital improvement costs
are to be entered into a rate model developed by Financial Consulting Solutions Group.
In addition to setting rates, the General Sewer Plan outlines key items of work for the
sewer utility over the next 20 years with a focus on the next 5 years.
Overview:
Typically, a General Sewer Plan is updated every 5-10 years. Given the City's plan has
not been updated in over 20 years, an extensive look at the wastewater treatment plant,
collection system, and compost facility was warranted. This is important because the
sewer is an enterprise fund and it must be self-supporting. As indicated in a Council
workshop presentation by staff on December 14, 2020, the sewer system has
performed very well over the years with a first-class wastewater treatment plant and
compost facility. However, both of these facilities are approaching the end of their
design life and are in need of work.
RH2 Engineering and City staff also provided an overview of the wastewater treatment
plant capacity and collection system information City Council workshop on May 9, 2022.
This initial analysis showed key issues of what will drive an upgrade to the wastewater
treatment plant as well as base data about the collection system.
With the Nutrient Permit in place, RH2 Engineering took a deeper dive into outlining the
next 20 years of wastewater plant upgrades. Furthermore, the collection system was
modeled for growth in the various basins to determine where pipeline upsizing is
needed.
This presentation provides the findings of the in-depth analysis of the wastewater plant,
the collection system, and the compost facility. The costs of the improvements needed
are substantial. Staff along with RH2 Engineering's help is providing the base needs of
the system. Catching up with investments is necessary. The improvements needs
have been reviewed in detail and sequenced in future years recognizing the large
impact to rates that are anticipated resulting from this plan update.
Financial Analysis
While staff hesitates to project rate impacts ahead of the rate modeling effort, some
basic data is useful in considering the upcoming impacts of much needed work on the
sewer system. It is noted that rates are not necessarily the sole driver of sewer
operations. Other value sets such as the compost facility, successful NPDES permit
compliance, staff sustainability, and quality maintenance practices have a financial
impact. For example, the first-class compost facility costs more to operate than if the
City were to ship solids remotely like most sewer utilities. This has a cost impact, yet
meets community values of lower environmental impact and recycling nutrients in the
community. In general, the City runs a very lean sewer utility with only 3 operators at
the wastewater treatment plant and 2 operators at compost. The sewer utility also
funds 2.56 FTEs for collection system support as part of the Streets, Stormwater, and
Wastewater Collections crew.
Another key element to this year's effort associated with setting rates is to account for
water and sewer separately so both utilities can stand on their own. Ultimately, staff
will recommend separating the utilities functionally into different funds. This effort will
be quite an administrative effort and for now, staff is focusing on more refined
accounting of costs in the combined utility for water and sewer. This modification was
made already with the water utility with rate adoptions in 2021.
The following general metrics are useful to consider as the City looks ahead to the
results of rate modeling.
• Annual sewer utility revenue (2023 budget) _ $3.5 million
• Annual sewer operating expenses (2023 budget) _ $3.6 million — Thus currently
running in a deficit of $100k per year. This deficit requires a rate increase of
3.5% before accounting for any other operational and capital costs.
• The sewer utility has approximately 4,800 equivalent residential units (ERUs). A
more refined accounting and calculation of ERUs is part of the rate study. Staff
is hopeful that the ERU count is higher than 4,800.
• Using rough math, a rate increase of $1.28 per month purchases $1 million of
capital improvements using utility revenue bonds.
• The total estimated operating expense increase will need to account for the
following:
o Operating
■ Inflation in supplies and operating costs such as wages.
■ Recommending hiring an apprentice for succession planning and
plant operational coverage with retirements near.
o Capital for 0-5 years:
■ Wastewater Treatment Plant Repairs and Upgrades = $11 million
■ Collection System Repairs and Improvements = $12 million
■ Compost Facility Repairs and Upgrades = $3 million
■ Septage Receiving System Improvements: Note, that any
increase in septage receiving facility would need to be covered
through a partnership with Jefferson County given the majority of
septage comes from outside of the city limits.
o The total estimated capital for the sewer utility for years 6-10 include a
major wastewater plant upgrade and a pipe rehabilitation program and are
roughly estimated at $16 million. While this estimate will not directly have
an impact on immediate rates, it will have an impact on future rates.
o Finally, for years 11-20 there are much more significant expenses ahead
of the City estimated at $98 million. This reflects the cost of upgrading the
wastewater treatment plant and rehabilitating all of the concrete and clay
pipes. As we have learned with the Water Street failure, these costs can
increase significantly if the pipes are not caught in time and rehabilitated.
These upcoming costs reinforce the concept of added connections and
density (see the recent Whitepaper. Exploration of Strategies for
Supporting Infill and Affordable Housing Related to Infrastructure
Development, available here:
hi :// li of it nli a oin�/ Vli w ir. h li vv lid:::::::4 v nt 1d::::::: 3666 Mi to li
.................
d:::::::21 5533). These costs are not avoidable and thus the more people
paying for the work, will lessen the burden on existing rate payers.
The above figures are overwhelming and staff has already moved many of the
improvements to a longer time frame. Additionally, the cost estimates are conservative
to represent planning level estimates. However, staff does not recommend reducing
them at this time as contingency is especially important in wastewater projects where
construction costs are higher than many other types of projects. For example, the
Gaines Street lift station was originally estimated at $750,000 and total actual costs was
approximately $1.5 million. Additionally, most communities are in this same financially
challenging situation necessitating significant grant resources. The City along with
others needs to participate in requesting additional grant resources become available
through the State and Federal Government.
In general, while overall utility costs are high to residents, the cost of providing this
complex utility service is lower than many other communities. Below is a list of
communities and their wastewater rates for reference. Many of these current rates will
be going up in the near future as these cities are also making adjustments to their
systems.
• Port Townsend: $56.10
• Bremerton: $69.77
• Bainbridge Island: $97.02
• Lake Stevens (Sewer District): $99.00
• Oak Harbor: $118.41
• Port Angeles: $87.58
• Poulsbo: $79.37
In summary, it does not come as a surprise that the costs of sewer infrastructure will be
hitting Port Townsend hard. The facilities that were built over the last 50 years as a
result of the Clean Water Act are coming of age and needing rebuilding. In addition, the
new permitting requirements increase the need for additional treatment such as the
nutrient grant. Finally, in the collections systems, the City of Port Townsend like many
other are seeing pipe failures such as the Water Street pipe replacement project.
Next Steps
Staff will refine the capital program and review rate impacts with Financial Solutions
Consulting Group.
Staff will prepare a draft rate impact and present to City Council in October/November.
Once rates have been set and the final sewer plan text and capital programs have been
established, the General Sewer Plan will be sent to Department of Ecology for review.
The review process is expected to take approximately 6 months before the plan can
receive final adoption by the City Council.
Staff will take into account sewer impacts into comprehensive planning associated with
the periodic comprehensive plan update.
Conclusion
As required, the sewer utility is intended to be a self-supporting enterprise. Policy
decisions regarding investment in the utility infrastructure will be made with adoption of
the rates. The upcoming effort of adopting rates and a final General Sewer Plan will
have lasting influence of the City of Port Townsend as it is melded into other
infrastructure programs such as repairing streets, waterline improvements, and
developing housing policy.
