PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, in cities all across America, people are coming together to read as a
unified community; and,
WHEREAS, the residents of the City of Port Townsend are coming together in such
a city-wide reading effort, thus declaring with one voice that reading is not only a source of
individual pleasure, but a tool for promoting literacy and community -building.
WHEREAS, this year's selected title, On the Way to the End of the World by
Adrianne Harun, is intended to inspire the community to share the joy of reading together
by reading and discussing the same book. Set in a small familiar Pacific Northwest town,
under the dramatic backdrop of the legendary Big Walks the "JFK 50 -Milers" and in the
aftermath of the epic Columbus Day Storm, the reader will embark on a profound adventure
with an eclectic cast of characters. This novel is splendidly imagined, with prose that sings
on the page, and is an adventure story riven with secrets, a national fairy tale twisted into a
whodunit. "Harun's novel reverberates with nostalgia, psychological insight, and the
sacredness of community," which makes this book the perfect choice for the Library's 19th
Community Read; and,
WHEREAS, Port Townsend Library Friends and Foundation, and other community
sponsors and partners make the Community Read possible; and,
WHEREAS, an exciting series of events and discussions are planned for the month
of March 2024;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, David J. Faber, Mayor of the City of Port Townsend, do
hereby proclaim the month of March 2024 as
Reading Month
in the City of Port Townsend. On behalf of the City, I thank all our generous sponsors and
community partners, and urge all residents of the community to join me in this endeavor to
promote the joys of reading and bringing the community together through the shared
experience of reading and discussing the same book.
David J. Faber, Mayor

SUMMARY STATEMENT: The Deputy PW Director/City Engineer position has been
advertised for nearly 2 years without success of filling the position. In January of this
year, the City hired a recruiter to help with hiring. To increase the odds of filling the
position and make it more attainable to more people, staff recommends including a
Deputy Public Works Director/Engineering Services Manager to the salary schedule.
This position is nearly the same but does not require an engineering license. The PW
Director would retain statutory responsibilities for City Engineer in this hiring scenario.
The Public Works department has the need for this position with budget responsibility,
supports the other operations division, manages the engineering department,
supervises staff, and serves as the PW director in their absence.
Depending on the qualification of candidates either the Deputy PW Director/City
Engineer or the Deputy PW Director/Engineering Services Manager would be filled.
This does not add any FTEs to the budget or salary schedule. This approval adds the
Engineering Services Manager to grade 27 of the non -represented salary schedule.
ATTACHMENTS: Updated Salary Schedule
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: N/A
RECOMMENDED ACTION: If adopted as part of the consent agenda, no further action
is needed; this effectively represents unanimous approval to update the Salary
Classification Schedule for Non -Represented Positions.

SUMMARY STATEMENT: The City Council Rules Committee completed a
comprehensive revision of the City Council Rules of Procedure in 2021. City Council
adopted the revised rules on October 4, 2021. Recently, the City Council tasked the
Culture and Society Committee with revising the standard Council meeting agenda.
This opened up a discussion at the February Culture and Society Committee meeting
about other Council Rules that may need to be revisited. The Committee put together a
list of rules that they would like to refine. The Committee is not proposing a complete
revision but rather a more targeted update to those provisions that are unclear or not
consistent with current practice. The Committee is asking Council to task them with
revising the following provisions:
• Public hearing script
• Agenda bill form
• Initiation of proclamations
• Exhibit D (Council Committees and Advisory Boards)
• Travel reimbursements
• Suggestion Board display and timing
• Advisory Board and Commission definitions
• City Manager evaluation timing and forms
• Standard meeting agenda
• Written public comment
• Public comment timing and comment during workshops
• Workshop timing
• Consent agenda
ATTACHMENTS: None
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Culture and Society Committee is
requested that City Council task the Committee with considering these provisions during
their February 14, 2024, meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: If adopted as part of the Consent Agenda, no further action
is needed; this effectively represents unanimous approval to task the Culture and
Society Committee to update the listed Council Rules.

SUMMARY STATEMENT: The state Shoreline Management Act (RCW 90.58) requires
that counties, cities, and towns periodically review their Shoreline Master Programs
(SMP). We are past due for revisions. According to the State Shoreline Management
Act (SMA) our 2007 SMP was due for review in 2020 and every ten years thereafter.
Although we made considerable progress towards a 2021 periodic review, we ran into
some capacity issues and the review was placed on hold.
Thanks to a $222,890 grant from the Department of Ecology's Shoreline Competitive
Grants Program, we are rebooting the SMP Periodic Review. The grant will allow us to
complete the SMP periodic review and expand the original scope to include:
Streamline permitting
Merging Waterwalk with Sea Level Rise (SLR) and King Tide Adaptation
The grant deadline is June 30, 2025. Staff anticipates approximately half of the grant
award to be appropriated to consultants.
Planning and Community Development staff published a Request for Qualifications in
the Port Townsend Leader and Daily Journal of Commerce seeking qualified
consultants to assist in the SMP Periodic Review. Staff received four proposals. A core
team consisting of PCD Director Emma Bolin, Planning Manager Judy Surber and Long
Range Planner Adrian Smith reviewed and scored the submittals. The consulting firm
of AHBL/Herrara was selected. As soon as a contract is executed with AHBL/Herrara,
staff and the consultant team will negotiate the ECY grant agreement.

Request for Qualifications
City of Port Townsend
Shoreline Master Program Periodic Review
INTRODUCTION
city
of Po�r�t, ,
The City of Port Townsend is requesting statement of qualifications from qualified consultants to
provide professional services to complete an enhanced Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Periodic
Review by June 30, 2025. Ecology has awarded funding to complete the review, streamline permitting
and integrate sea level rise adaptation. Firms interested in this project are advised to carefully review
the information outlined in this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and respond accordingly. The City has
earmarked $115,000 for consulting services.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION
Statements of Qualifications are due by January 26, 2024, by 4:00 p.m. All proposals shall be submitted
electronically, in Adobe PDF format, to:
Emma Bolin, Director of Planning and Community Development
City of Port Townsend
BACKGROUND
In 2007, the City completed and the Department of Ecology approved the City's Shoreline Master
Program (SMP) comprehensive update, incorporating the Critical Areas Ordinance by reference.
Considerable progress was made on the 2021 Periodic Review (including a draft Periodic Review
Checklist and draft strike -out and underline amendments of both the SMP and CAO) however, the
process was placed on hold due to staffing shortages. (The City is also conducting a concurrent GMA
Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update, additional CAO changes prepared under separate contract will
need to be coordinated to ensure SMA consistency for incorporation by reference).
Port Townsend has a variety of shorelines including high and low bank marine, 2 lakes, 2 marinas and
one of three historically significant Victorian seaport communities in the US.
ANTICIPATED SCOPE OF SERVICES
With the additional grant funding, the City will resume work on the 2021 periodic review with two
additional goals:
• Streamline permitting— In light of SB 5290 C, the city proposes to audit SMP policies and
development regulations, permit procedures in PTMC 20.01, and a selection of recent staff
reports to identify measures to minimize redundancy and simplify the permit process.
Page I 1
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS, CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND SMP PERIODIC REVIEW
• Merging Waterwalk with SLR and King Tide Adaptation—This task will involve participating in the
Port's Phase I Waterwalk design process h„tt„pyo„�' „pral,trafpt. ra„Nrq/ ids rfps N,fq to identify ways in
which the SMP can be modified to meet the diverse and potentially conflicting demands of the
Waterwalk Project. The heart of the task will be a robust public engagement process that seeks
to understand community preferences for the Waterwalk including alternatives to mitigate sea
level rise. Engagement will provide adaptive feedback into the design process including the
diverse array of alternatives and how they will intentionally meet the proposed code, while
improving resiliency to sea level rise and climate change. The process is intended to build
consensus on the underlying assumptions that should be used in prioritizing alternatives such as
the appropriate SLR models, tolerable levels of risk, and the lifecycle for the infrastructure (to be
compiled in a technical memorandum). Public input received during the City's public
participation program will be funneled to the Port's design team in an effort to balance the
public vision with design feasibility.
This work will also involve the preparation of a technical memorandum that details sea level rise
modeling, considerations related to tolerable risk, and infrastructure lifecycle. The
memorandum will also include the preparation of goals, policies, and standards for potential
amendments to the City's SMP to facilitate the construction of the publicly preferred
alternative. The consultant preparing the technical memorandum must have technical expertise
and demonstrated experience in compiling and formatting geospatial data for the application
and interpretation of parcel scale sea level rise and coastal inundation modeling.
Additional Tasks include:
A. Assist City of Port Townsend staff in finalizing the grant contract with Ecology
B. Prepare a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) as required by Ecology
C. Coordinate SMP Periodic Review with the concurrent 2025 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update
(including amendments to the Critical Areas Ordinance to ensure SMA consistency) and Port of
Port Townsend Waterwalk feasibility study
D. Review the SMP and draft Periodic Checklist and recommend revisions needed to comply with
Chapter 90.58 RCW, Ecology rules, best available science
E. Integrate optional amendments identified by the City
F. Assist City staff in preparing and implementing a public participation plan as provided in the
SMA and WAC 173-26
G. Provide written and verbal communications and graphics as required to support the public
outreach and adoption efforts
H. Attend and facilitate multiple public workshops
I. Prepare a draft SMP with concomitant amendments to the City's Municipal Code in bill format
for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council.
J. Prepare SEPA documentation
K. Attend periodic meetings of the Planning Commission and City Council
L. Assist staff in response to public and agency comment
M. Assemble a complete SMP Final draft amendment for review and adoption.

Thank you for the opportunity to present our qualifications for the Periodic Review of the City of Port Townsend's
Shoreline Master Program.
The AHBL team looks forward to supporting City staff on the periodic review of the City's Shoreline Master Program.
We understand the value and importance of engaging stakeholders early in the Shoreline Master Program (SMP)
update process. Our team has worked with many of the stakeholders that the City will engage as part of this effort, as
we formed the relationships during the previous SMP update process.
Our team will support the City through engaging in the following:
• Review SMP policies and development regulations to streamline the permitting process, minimizing redundancy
• Implement a robust public engagement process with the ultimate goal of merging Waterwalk with SLR and King Tide
Adaptation
• Assist City staff in finalizing the grant contract with Ecology
• Prepare a Quality Assurance Project Plan, per Ecology requirements
• Coordinate SMP Periodic Review with the concurrent 2025 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update
• Draft a Periodic Checklist and recommend revision necessary to comply with Ecology rules and the best available
science
• Additional tasks as defined in the RFQ
AHBL and Herrera have completed 15 SMP updates together. This includes SMP updates for the cities of Aberdeen,
Bainbridge Island, Centralia, Cle Elum, Chehalis, Cosmopolis, Des Moines, Hoquiam, Morton, Ocean Shores, West
Richland, Westport, Winlock, and Montesano. Nicole Stickney is a skilled project manager who has led the preparation
of SMP updates in both western and eastern Washington.
I am the individual with the authority to negotiate and execute contracts and your primary contact during the
evaluation process. Thank you for your consideration of our proposal. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please do not hesitate to call me.

The AHBL and Herrera team has a long history working
with the City of Port Townsend. In 2004, AHBL staff was
involved with preparing the Port Townsend Shoreline
Master Program (SMP), which was the first SMP adopted
under Ecology's "new guidelines" and was a recipient of
an APA/PAW Merit Award in 2006. Moreover, the AHBL/
Herrera team was also involved in the preparation of the
City's critical areas ordinance and the Rainier Street &
Upper Sims Way Subarea Plan which were adopted in
2017 and 2019, respectively. To that end, our team has
an understanding of the City of Port Townsend and the
shoreline and built environment assets which make it
such a special place.
Our team is comprised of leaders in sea level rise
and environmental planning issues and have working
relationships with key Ecology staff that will be managing
the City's grant. Our services would include assisting
the City with negotiations with Ecology as it finalizes its
grant agreement.
A key challenge to this project will be integrating the
City and its SMP team into a design process being led
by the Port of Port Townsend. The City and the Port have
had a good a productive working relationship since at
least as long as our team first worked with the City on its
SMP in 2004. That being said, integrating sea level rise
(SLR) and King Tide adaptation into the City's SMP will
require robust public engagement so that public and Port
expectations related to access and other improvements
to the City's shorelines are congruent with the scientific
realities that the City will experience over the next 50
years. Very real conversations related to risk tolerance
will be a necessary part of this discussion.
The project team will prepare a report that summarizes
the permitting requirements associated with various
actions that may occur within the City's various shoreline
environments. For instance, actions related to shoreline
armoring will be identified and actions related to such
work will be tracked.
The purpose for the work will be to identify areas that
may involve redundancy and/or inconsistency in an effort
to make the SMP more easily understood by applicants,
City staff, the Hearing Examiner, and residents that wish
to provide meaningful comment on applications for work
within shoreline jurisdiction.
The existing code audit will also the recommendations
for code updates that emanating out of the work
associated with the Waterwalk Sea Level Rise Mitigation
described in the paragraphs below. The deliverable
resulting out of this work will be a report that
summarizes the audit and includes recommendations for
proposed amendments.

This element of the project will involve participating in Integrating SLR and King Tide adaptation into the City's
the Waterwalk design process to identify ways in which SMP will require a robust public engagement effort so
the SMP might be modified to the meet the diverse and that public expectations related to access
potentially conflicting demands of the Waterwalk project.
The City will acquire robust and meaningful public
engagement related to the objective of harmonizing
public access and shoreline armoring to facilitate and
access and recreational objectives of the City's SMP.
Engagement will provide adaptive feedback into the
design process including the diverse array of alternatives
and how they will intentionally meet the proposed code,
while improving resiliency to sea level rise and climate
change. The process is intended to build consensus
on the underlying assumptions that should be used
in prioritizing alternatives such as the appropriate
SLR models, tolerable levels of risk, and the lifecycle
for the infrastructure (to be compiled in a technical
memorandum). Public input received during the City's
public participation program will be funneled to the
design team in an effort to balance the public vision with
design feasibility.
The work will include description and documentation of
the permit process which will include compliance with
not only with the Port Townsend Municipal Code (related
to the Critical Areas Ordinance and Shoreline Master
Program), but also state (WDFW/HPA) and federal
(Corps Section 401 and 10) permitting requirements.
and other improvements to the Cit%/' -z

AHBL assisted the City in informing and involving the publ

Herrera prepared the City's first Best Available
Science (BAS) report to be used to update the city's
regulations for designating and protecting critical
areas. The City's critical areas include wetlands
(primarily estuarine and interdunal) and streams
(the Chehalis River and Winter Creek), critical aquifer
recharge areas, frequently flooded areas, geologic
hazards (the City is prone to several geologic hazards that
were addressed within the context of predicted climate
change), and fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas.
This project also required that we prepare the City's first CAO that is consistent with GMA requirements. Aside
from critical areas and resource lands, the City is not required to plan under the GMA, so this required us to use
our experience as both permit applicants and reviewers to provide insights and a balanced perspective that
helped us work with staff and the public in a challenging political environment.

AHBL worked with the City of Des Moines to perform a periodic update of the City's existing shoreline master
program. The City's previous SMP was adopted in 2011 and did not include the most recent updates found in
the Department of Ecology's SMP Guidelines. AHBL prepared a public participation plan identifying a variety
of involvement opportunities including open houses, public meetings, and public hearings. Other strategies
including the use of social and traditional print media were used to inform the public about the status of the
project and invite them to participate.
To implement the public participation plan, AHBL hosted three open houses. Two of the open houses occurred
at the City's Community Center and the other open house occurred at the City's farmer's market. Amendments
to the City's SMP were adopted by the City Council in Spring 2019.

AHBL and Herrera worked with the City of Port Townsend to analyze and update the City's
existing Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO), which was necessary in order to remain compliant
with the Growth Management Act. The update reflects Best Available Science (BAS), as well
as current Ecology and State guidance for protecting the functions and values of critical
areas.
To achieve this, AHBL prepared a gap analysis of the City's existing CAO, and reviewed it
against the State's guidance for mandated revisions. Herrera performed the BAS review.
Their review included best practices for regulating all critical areas, reduced or eliminated
procedures that cause challenges to City staff and applicants, and identified inconsistencies

Washington Parks Climate Vulnerability
•
Adaptation Strat- e • -
Herrera supported the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (Parks) by
completing a sea level rise and erosion vulnerability assessment of infrastructure in all
coastal state parks. Parks manages a complex range of infrastructure, buildings, utilities,
and amenities that are being impacted by flooding and erosion intensified by sea level
rise. The multi -disciplinary Herrera team — which included geomorphologists, engineers,
ecologists, planners, and geospatial specialists — combined field visits and geospatial
analysis to assess current and future exposure to flood and erosion hazards. The team also
identified opportunities to protect, restore, and build climate resilience along Washington
State's marine shorelines.
Herrera led workshops with Parks staff to identify guiding principles, solicit input on the pro
methodology, and prioritize the list of parks for additional analysis. Herrera analyzed all parks with
marine shorelines by compiling existing geospatial data on site conditions relevant to climate -related
hazards, such as geomorphic shoretypes and wave exposure, and developed inundation models using
the most recent digital elevation models and relative sea level rise projections for each park and selected
planning horizons. Herrera then developed flood, wave run-up, and erosion hazard polygons based on that
analysis, and intersected hazard polygons with park infrastructure. Herrera conducted a field inventory
of priority parks with the most vulnerable infrastructure and sites where additional data collection was
necessary to characterize the vulnerability, including investigating elevation of key infrastructure tied to
known benchmarks. This information was housed in a GIS database and web based StoryMap that Parks
will use, in combination with adaptation strategies identified by Herrera, to prioritize actions needed to
proactively address the impacts of climate change and reduce long-term maintenance and operation
costs. Deliverables included opportunities to enhance park resilience through restoration and nature -
based solutions and adaptation designs. This strategic initiative underscores a commitment to sustainable
stewardship of Washington State's marine shorelines, serving as a model for resilient adaptation in the
face of environmental change.

In order to update its Shoreline Master Program, the County asked Herrera to develop a sea
level rise monitoring plan for the County. Verified sources were used to describe and quantif:
baseline conditions. The same sources were used to describe and quantify the baseline,
which was used to develop a programmatic framework that monitors the effects of sea
level rise as it relates to advisory zones. The monitoring program was created with the
goal of providing the County with sufficient data to evaluate planning strategies based
on expected risks.

Port Orchard Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Update,
Port Orchard, WA
In order to update its Shoreline Master Program, the City asked Herrera to provide an analys
of sea level rise and its impacts to the City and its infrastructure. The City also asked for
recommendations about code updates to accommodate these impacts. Herrera used the
2018 Washington State guidance to assess several scenarios and developed a set of
maps indicating risk of inundation to infrastructure. It was found that the main impact
from sea level rise was to stormwater infrastructure in the downtown area. The City's
code also needed to be updated to reflect more recent FEMA flood insurance mapping,
which shows much more inundation from marine high water events than earlier maps. Herres
continues to assist the City in its assessment of climate change and to roll out the potential
code changes to the City Council and public.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
During meetings of the Infrastructure and Development Committee, Parks Recreation Trees and
Trails Advisory Board, and Planning Commission, the public has expressed concern that the
City is "over -parking," or requiring, developing, and using too many parking spaces that could be
devoted to other land uses. Requiring off-street parking spaces prioritizes personal car
ownership and driving over other methods of transportation.
Related to overparking, staff and the public are also concerned about the quality of our frontage
and developed Right -of -Way. Many streets in Port Townsend lack sidewalks, curbs, rain
gardens, street trees, on -street parking, paving, and other features that make our streets safer
to use, more environmentally sustainable, and cheaper to maintain. The Department of Public
Works is updating the Engineering Design Standards (EDS) to guide the development of streets
and frontages that support public use of Port Townsend's Rights -of -Way. The proposed interim
EDS are drafted to support "people, prosperity, and planet" by increasing options for on -street
parking paired with tools for managing stormwater and increasing canopy to improve the
environmental services provided by the Right -of -Way.
While assessing our current development patterns, Public Works staff determined that off-street
parking uses 1.9 to 3.8 times the space of on -street parking, largely due to the size of setbacks
and driveway aprons. Driveway access to the street effectively privatizes sections of the Right -
of -Way. This highlights the connection between off-street parking and public use of the Right -of -
Way, including on -street parking. However, there are conflicts between prioritizing developing
high quality rights-of-way and prioritizing eliminating parking minimums. Requiring on -street
parking in lieu of or in addition to off-street parking increases the total amount of parking in Port
Townsend. This is contrary to the public's stated desires because it contributes to overparking
Port Townsend Municipal Code Page 2/24
and increasing our dependence on personal automobiles. Conversely, eliminating parking
minimums when many Port Townsend streets do not have on -street parking continues the issue
of people parking in ditches, unpaved areas, and other problematic areas that were not
designed for car storage.
The Planning and Community Development Department and the Department of Public Works
have reviewed our current codes and the draft EDS to propose two alternatives addressing
overparking and insufficient frontage development. Both alternatives would amend PTMC
17.72.080, a table of how many off-street parking spaces are required for a development
depending on the proposed use. One goal of our parking management policies is balancing the
needs of different types of transportation. The EDS specifies how to develop on -street parking to
formalize how users currently interact with the City's built environment.
Alternatives
An interim ordinance striking parking minimums from PTMC Table 17.72.080. Instead of
required off-street parking, the table would recommend a minimum number of parking
spaces for each different land use. Developers would plan parking based on their specific
project and site and could utilize a mixture of on -street and off-street parking. The property's
frontage must be developed in compliance with the EDS to designate where on -street
parking will be placed and to designate where parking is not intended, such as off the
pavement. Refer to EDS Chapter 6 Appendix A for more detail on preventing unintended
parking.
Benefits of Alternative 1:
A. Interim ordinance allows a year to study how eliminating off-street parking
minimums impacts development, allowing staff to adjust the code before a
permanent ordinance is adopted in conjunction with our updated Comprehensive
Plan and Active Transportation Plan in June 2025.
B. Complies with EDS to create intentional urban form that develops rights-of-way for
public use.
C. Addresses overparking.
D. Reduces infrastructure for personal automobiles, encouraging alternative
transportation.
E. Reduces impervious surfaces created by parking minimums.
Consequences of Alternative 1:
A. If the applicant chooses to build off-street parking per minimum requirements, they
are not required to develop on -street parking and related Right -of -Way
improvements. Port Townsend would continue lacking sufficient on -street parking to
serve all current or proposed future uses.
B. May continue pattern of overparking if people choose to develop required minimum
parking. This would also contribute to increasing impervious surfaces and
associated stormwater runoff issue.
The Port Townsend Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 3328, passed January 2, 2024.
Port Townsend Municipal Code
Page 3/24
C. Reduces infrastructure for personal automobiles despite current rates of automobile
ownership and usage. This may discourage people from owning or developing
properties that do not have adequate parking.
2. An interim ordinance retaining parking minimums but also creating a permitting pathway for
alternative parking that is less than the required minimum described in PTMC Table
17.72.080. The process for retaining less than the minimum required parking would submit a
parking analysis explaining needed parking stall quantity based on use. The property's
frontage must be developed in compliance with the EDS, including parking spaces with
associated street trees and raingardens. There are two pathways using this alternative:
2.1. Applicants comply with minimum parking requirements using on -street and off-street
parking. Residential uses must still include measures to prevent parking off the
pavement edge.
2.2. Applicants propose developing less than the minimum required parking. Applicants
would submit a parking analysis with expected employee parking needs and stalls for
customers or residents. Single family residential uses do not need a parking analysis,
but must provide on -street parking per the EDS. The property's frontage must be
developed in compliance with the EDS, including parking spaces with associated street
trees and drainage.
Benefits of Alternative 2:
A. Interim ordinance allows a year to study how offering requiring on -street parking
and offering alternative minimum parking requirements impacts development,
allowing staff to adjust the code before a permanent ordinance is adopted in
conjunction with our updated Comprehensive Plan and Active Transportation
Plan in June 2025.
B. Addresses insufficiently developed frontages.
C. Increases public benefit from Rights -of -Way, including parking, street trees, and
rain gardens to infiltrate stormwater.
D. Maintains infrastructure for personal automobiles, recognizing current patterns of
car usage and providing parking as a public good instead of private property.
E. Reduces impervious surfaces by requiring less total parking than current parking
minimums.
Consequences of Alternative 2:
A. May increase overparking if developers build required on -street parking and
additional private off-street parking.
B. May increase impervious surface if developers build required public parking on -
street and additional private parking off-street.
C. Maintains infrastructure for personal automobiles, discouraging alternative
transportation.
The Port Townsend Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 3328, passed January 2, 2024.

Our departments have determined that both alternatives, either eliminating off-street parking
requirements or allowing further reductions once minimum parking requirements are met
through public on -street parking, would fulfil the following objectives:
Align with our goals of supporting "people, prosperity, and planet"; and
2. Encourage the development of street frontage that is accessible to people using a
range of transportation methods
3. Test the efficacy of changing parking minimums during the ongoing comprehensive
plan periodic review; and
4. Create a pathway to adjust off-street parking requirements based on impacts
observed between now and the finalization of our updated comprehensive plan in
June 2025.

ORDINANCE NO. TBD
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND AMENDING PORT TOWNSEND
MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 17.72 RELATING TO INTERIM PARKING REGULATIONS AND
PROVIDING THAT THE INTERIM REGULATIONS, UNLESS EXTENDED, WILL SUNET ON THE
EARLIER OF SIX (6) MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF ADOPTION OF THIS ORDINANCE OR THE
ADOPTION OF REGULATIONS THAT SUPERSEDE THIS ORDIANCE
Recitals
A. The City Council enacted Ordinance 2578 on April 21, 1997. Part of that ordinance, codified as
Section 12.04.040, adopted the City's Engineering Design Standards (EDS).
B. Chapter 4, Section 130 of the EDS addresses General Right -of -Way Improvements and Construction
Requirements. Specifically, "previously undeveloped lots of record are proposed for development or
improvement, or any type of development is proposed including a change of use, as a condition to
further property development" may require "Pavement; Curb and gutter installation; Walkway
improvements; Storm and street drainage; Design of structures and/or grading to future Right -of -Way
grade; Pathways and bikeways; Landscaping; Driveways; Street widening and turning lanes; ... (and)
On -street parking;"
C. Since the adoption of the EDS in 1997, the Public Works Department has proposed interim
engineering design standards to support "people, prosperity, and planet," by allowing right of way
improvements that improve access for people, reduce impervious surface, and decrease the cost of
maintaining rights-of-way.
D. The City Council enacted Ordinance 2571 on April 7, 1997. Part of that ordinance, codified as Section
17.72.080, adopted minimum required off-street parking spaces for different land uses.
E. Since the adoption of minimum off-street parking standards in 1997, City residents have also spoken at
meetings of the Infrastructure and Development Committee, Parks Recreation Trees and Trails
Advisory Board, and Planning Commission in support of reducing or removing minimum off-street
parking requirements.
F. An interim ordinance would allow the City to determine if recommending, not requiring, parking
minimums, in conjunction with improving the Right -of -Way to the standards of the interim EDS,
appropriately balances transportation modes and the environmental impacts of impervious surfaces.
G. The interim controls in this Ordinance, plus any extensions, would be entirely or partially extinguished
when either the review and possible revision of zoning is completed and/or the road and supporting
infrastructure is fully designed and permitted.
H. Section 36.70A.390 of the Revised Code of Washington authorizes the City Council to adopt an
immediate development regulation amendment for a period of up to six months provided that a public
hearing is held within at least sixty days of its adoption.
L The City Council deems it to be in the public interest to establish interim regulations on the acceptance
of development permit applications for any development that conflict with the terms of this Ordinance.

NOW, THEREFOR, the City Council of the City of Port Townsend, Washington, do ordain as follows:\
Section 1. Findings of Fact and Conclusions. The City of Port Townsend is facing an imbalance of
transportation options, with the public commenting that existing parking policies prioritize cars over other users of
City streets. Requiring a minimum number of off-street parking spaces necessitates driveways, which decrease the
frontage available for other public uses along the Right -of -Way. The City Council wishes to provide time to
determine the best way to balance parking and public use of our streets.
Section 2 Amendment. Port Townsend Municipal Code 17.72.080 Vehicular and Bicycle Parking
Standards and the accompanying table shall be amended in substantially the same form as Exhibit A for a period of
six (6) months from the date of adoption.
Section 3. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Interim Ordinance should be held
to be unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the
validity or constitutionality of any other section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance.
Section 4. Public Hearing. As provided for in RCW 35A.63.220, a public hearing was held to review the
findings and conclusions adopted in this Ordinance. This public hearing was held on March 4, 2024.
Section 5. Publication. This Interim Ordinance shall be published by an approved summary consisting of
the title.
Section 6. Effective Date and Duration. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect
immediately five days after publication. The duration of this Ordinance is 180 days, unless extended, and shall
terminate earlier on adoption of an ordinance by the City Council that replaces this Ordinance.
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Port Townsend, at a regular meeting thereof, held this 4"'
day of March 2024.

ORDINANCE NO. TBD
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND AMENDING PORT TOWNSEND
MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 17.72 RELATING TO INTERIM PARKING REGULATIONS AND
PROVIDING THAT THE INTERIM REGULATIONS, UNLESS EXTENDED, WILL SUNET ON THE
EARLIER OF SIX (6) MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF ADOPTION OF THIS ORDINANCE OR THE
ADOPTION OF REGULATIONS THAT SUPERSEDE THIS ORDIANCE
Recitals
A. The City Council enacted Ordinance 2578 on April 21, 1997. Part of that ordinance, codified as
Section 12.04.040, adopted the City's Engineering Design Standards (EDS).
B. Chapter 4, Section 130 of the EDS addresses General Right -of -Way Improvements and Construction
Requirements. Specifically, "previously undeveloped lots of record are proposed for development or
improvement, or any type of development is proposed including a change of use, as a condition to
further property development" may require "Pavement; Curb and gutter installation; Walkway
improvements; Storm and street drainage; Design of structures and/or grading to future Right -of -Way
grade; Pathways and bikeways; Landscaping; Driveways; Street widening and turning lanes; ... (and)
On -street parking;"
C. Since the adoption of the EDS in 1997, the Public Works Department has proposed interim
engineering design standards to support "people, prosperity, and planet," by allowing right of way
improvements that improve access for people, reduce impervious surface, and decrease the cost of
maintaining rights-of-way.
D. The City Council enacted Ordinance 2571 on April 7, 1997. Part of that ordinance, codified as Section
17.72.080, adopted minimum required off-street parking spaces for different land uses.
E. Since the adoption of minimum off-street parking standards in 1997, City residents have also spoken at
meetings of the Infrastructure and Development Committee, Parks Recreation Trees and Trails
Advisory Board, and Planning Commission in support of reducing or removing minimum off-street
parking requirements.
F. An interim ordinance would allow the City to determine if allowing required parking minimums to be
met on -street or further reduced would requiring, parking minimums, in conjunction with improving
the Right -of -Way to the standards of the interim EDS, appropriately balances transportation methods,
public use of the Right -of -Way, and the environmental impacts of impervious surfaces.
G. The interim controls in this Ordinance, plus any extensions, would be entirely or partially extinguished
when either the review and possible revision of zoning is completed and/or the road and supporting
infrastructure is fully designed and permitted.
H. Section 36.70A.390 of the Revised Code of Washington authorizes the City Council to adopt an
immediate development regulation amendment for a period of up to six months provided that a public
hearing is held within at least sixty days of its adoption.
L The City Council deems it to be in the public interest to establish interim regulations on the acceptance
development permit applications for any development that conflict with the terms of this Ordinance.

NOW, THEREFOR, the City Council of the City of Port Townsend, Washington, do ordain as follows:\
Section 1. Findings of Fact and Conclusions. The City of Port Townsend is facing an imbalance of
transportation options, with the public commenting that existing parking policies prioritize cars over other users of
City streets. Allowing parking minimums to be met through on -street parking in conjunction with frontage
improvements per the interim Engineering Design Standards improves public use of the Right -of -Way. Allowing
parking minimums to be further reduced provides valuable flexibility for projects that will not need a high number
of parking spaces. The City Council wishes to provide time to determine the best way to balance parking and public
use of our streets.
Section 2 Amendment. Port Townsend Municipal Code 17.72.080 Vehicular and Bicycle Parking
Standards and the accompanying table shall be amended in substantially the same form as Exhibit A for a period of
six (6) months from the date of adoption.
Section 3. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Interim Ordinance should be held
to be unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the
validity or constitutionality of any other section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance.
Section 4. Public Hearing. As provided for in RCW 35A.63.220, a public hearing was held to review the
findings and conclusions adopted in this Ordinance. This public hearing was held on March 4, 2024.
Section 5. Publication. This Interim Ordinance shall be published by an approved summary consisting of
the title.
Section 6. Effective Date and Duration. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect
immediately five days after publication. The duration of this Ordinance is 180 days, unless extended, and shall
terminate earlier on adoption of an ordinance by the City Council that replaces this Ordinance.
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Port Townsend, at a regular meeting thereof, held this 4"'
day of March 2024.

Similarities Between Eliminating Off -Street Parking
Minimums and Right -of -Way Development
Eliminating Parking Minimums
• People: decreases reliance on cars
• Prosperity: property owners have
more options about how to
develop their lots
Planet: decreased impervious
surface. Encourage other transport
methods that create less emissions
and other environmental hazards
Prioritizing Right -of -Way Development
People: streets are safer to use for
drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists
Prosperity: easier and cheaper
street maintenance
Planet: increased drainage
improvements, sidewalks, and bike
lanes. Park cars in safe spot instead
of off the pavement or in drainage
areas
Conflicts Between Eliminating Off -Street Parking
Minimums and Right -of -Way Development
Eliminating Parking Minimums
• Where parking isn't provided,
people park off-road, in ditches,
or other unpaved areas that
aren't safe for the environment,
drivers, cyclists, or pedestrians
Prioritizing Right -of -Way Development
• May create increased
impervious surface if people
choose to build on -street and
off-street parking
• May increase amount of parking
and reliance on cars
Proposing
Alternatives
I I
Alternative 1: "Recommended" Instead of
"Required" Minimum Parking
Replace minimum "required" off-street parking
with minimum "recommended" parking. Parking
can be a mix of on- and off-street
• Project must still follow EDS
Alternative 1 Recommended Parking Flow Chart
Alternative 1 Benefits and Consequences
Benefits Consequences
• Interim ordinance - Not required to build public on-
• Develops ROW per EDS street parking
May address overparking
Reduces infrastructure for cars
May reduce impervious surface
• May create more parking if people
choose to keep building minimums
• May increase impervious surface if
people keep building minimums
Reduced infrastructure for cars
may be unappealing for property
owners and developers
Alternative 2: Total Parking and Allowing
Reductions to Minimum Parking

Regulates "total parking," the
combination of on -street and off-
street, instead of off-street.
Parking minimums can be met
through on -street parking.
Applicants can propose less than
the required minimum parking
using a parking analysis. The
analysis is not a full parking study.
It just needs to state expected
parking needed at peak times
• Project must still follow EDS
Alternative 2 Alternative Minimum Parking Flow
Chart
Alternative 2 Benefits and Consequences
Benefits
• Interim ordinance
• Improves frontage development
• Increases public benefit from
ROW
• Maintains infrastructure for cars
• Provides parking as public good
instead of private property
• May reduce impervious surface
Consequences
• May create more parking if
people choose to build
additional private off-street
parking
• May increase impervious surface
if people build both required
public parking on -street and
additional private parking off-
street
• Encourages car use

SUMMARY STATEMENT: This matter comes before Council to consider an Ordinance
to Amend Chapter 16.04 of the PTMC to reflect 2021 amendments to the State Building
Code that will be implemented effective March 15, 2024.
RCW 19.27.031 provides that certain building codes are in effect statewide with the
enforcement authority resting with Cities and Counties: International Building Code,
International Residential Code, International Mechanical Code, International Fuel Gas
Code, International Fire Code, International Wildland-Urban Interface Code, Uniform
Plumbing Code and Code Standards, Washington State Energy Code (Commercial)
and Washington State Energy Code (Residential).
The City, like most jurisdictions, adopts the updated statewide codes and local
amendments as well. Local amendments to the codes are permitted "so long as the
amendments do not reduce the minimum performance standards of the codes they
have adopted" (from MRSC, FAQ).
The second reading of this ordinance is delayed because the State Building Code
Council (SBCC) changed the adoption of the 2021 State Building Code amendments.
The SBCC voted on May 24, 2023, to delay the effective date of the 2021 codes for 120
days, which changed the effective date from July 1, 2023 to October 29, 2023. On
September 15, 2023, the State Building Code Council agreed on another delay until
March 15, 2024.
The attached Ordinance, if approved, adopts the statewide 2021 codes and appendices
as set forth in Attachment 1. Changes in PTMC are shown in strike/underline. The
Ordinance includes minor amendments to address permit extensions, exemptions from
permitting requirements for minor work and other items to match best practices as well
as community values.
Adoption of this ordinance will help to further the goals of life and fire safety, energy
conservation and building accessibility while maintaining consistency with the codes of
other Washington State jurisdictions, furthering the goal of economic development.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Ordinance 3315, with Exhibit A -C
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Move to approve Ordinance 3315 Related to Building
Codes; Adopting by Reference the 2021 Versions of the International Building Code,
International Residential Code, International Mechanical Code, International Fuel Gas
Code, International Fire Code, International Urban Wildland Interface Code, Uniform
Plumbing Code, Washington State Energy Code (Commercial), Washington State
Energy Code (Residential) and Amending Chapter 16.04 of the Port Townsend
Municipal Code.

SUMMARY STATEMENT: The updated Collection Development Library Policy is to
replace the 2018 Collection Development and Management Policy. The Collection
Development Library Policy supports the mission, vision and core values of the City of
Port Townsend Public Library. It guides the staff in the development and management
of the collection and informs the public of the principles that librarians follow. It also
clearly affirms the Library's commitment to intellectual freedom. The updates to this
policy remove procedural language to keep the focus on the policy itself and has added

Collection Development Library Policy
City of Port Townsend Public Library
Purpose
The Collection Development Policy supports the mission, vision, and core values of the City of Port
Townsend Public Library (PTPL). The policy provides direction on the procurement and provision of
library materials that reflect the ever -evolving needs and interests of the communities served by PTPL
and inform members of the community about the principles used to select and manage the collection.
This policy will be reviewed on a periodic basis.
Intellectual Freedom
The PTPL is committed to intellectual freedom and unrestricted access to information. The PTPL's
collections are organized and maintained to facilitate access. Librarians employ objective professional
judgment through selection, cataloging, classification, and readers' services to make available the
information that library patrons want or need. Cataloging decisions, labels, or ratings applied in an
attempt to restrict or discourage access to materials or to suggest moral or doctrinal endorsement is a
violation of the First Amendment and Library Bill of Rights. The PTPL cultivates a collection representing
a variety of viewpoints for all ages, backgrounds, and opinions. The existence of a particular viewpoint in
the collection is an expression of the PTPL's commitment to intellectual freedom not an endorsement of
that point of view.
The Port Townsend Public Library upholds the principles documented in the:

Principles of PTPL Collection Development
• PTPL provides a diverse collection of materials, in a variety of formats and languages, for all
ages, responsive to the needs and interests of the community within its budgetary and space
limitations.
• In order to support an informed public, the collections represent a variety of viewpoints from
diverse sources. Selection of materials by the PTPL does not indicate an endorsement of the
contents or views expressed in those materials.
0 The PTPL provides open and equal access to library collections to all patrons.
• PTPL staff anticipates and actively reaches out to the community to ascertain the needs and
interests of the public and also considers customer requests for materials.
• The PTPL helps preserve and share our community's history.
• When possible, the PTPL purchases some digital collections with consortiums. This includes the
Washington Anytime Library for eBooks and eAudiobooks and the Cooperative Libraries of the
Eastern Olympics (C.L.E.O.) for databases. Consortium level purchasing helps to expand the
collection budget through economies of scale procurement. The PTPL strives to add digital
collections in conjunction with demand, cost, and availability.
• The PTPL believes that a high-quality library collection must be kept up-to-date by judicious
oversight, removing outdated and worn-out items, while preserving, and when necessary and
possible, replacing, classics and items of lasting value.
• The PTPL considers reading, viewing and listening to be individual matters. While any patron is
free to select or reject materials for themselves or their own minor children, the freedom of
other PTPL patrons to read or inquire will not be restricted. The PTPL would never presume to
usurp the role of the parent. Only parents and guardians have the right and responsibility to
guide the reading, viewing and listening choices of their own minor children. The PTPL does not
stand in the place of parents (in loco parentis.)
Responsibility
This policy is periodically reviewed and revised by the library staff with the advice and recommendations
of the Library Advisory Board and approved by the Port Townsend City Council. The Library Director and
the Director's qualified designees are responsible for collection development and management.
On a day-to-day basis, the policy is administered by the Library Managers and implemented by the
professional staff. The professional staff selects and maintains materials in areas assigned to them by
their supervisors.
Selection of Materials
The PTPL emphasizes breadth over depth, unabridged over abridged, and general treatments over
specialized, scholarly and professional treatments.
Because technologies for sound, image, and electronic delivery of information continue to evolve, the
PTPL will monitor and evaluate new formats, implementing them when appropriate and discarding
obsolete formats when necessary.
No single set of criteria can be applied in all cases. Some resources may be selected based on their
artistic merit or scholarship while others are selected based on the recreational interests of the
community. The criteria for selecting fiction, nonfiction, and electronic media will vary. Materials are
selected as a whole rather than on particular passages. Materials for the regular and special collections
are selected based on measures outlined in the Library's Collection Development Guidelines.
Collection Maintenance
The PTPL's material selectors are responsible for decisions regarding weeding, repair, and replacement
in their area of the collection. Proper maintenance of the collection provides our patrons with what they
need and expect: useful, current materials in good physical condition. Discarded materials are handled
as allowed by law per.IR. C W...3.9....3..3.:..:7 Q..
Request for Library Materials
Patrons may make requests, and the PTPL will consider either borrowing the item from another library
(Interlibrary Loan) or purchasing the item for the collection. Some items may not be available. Requests
that are purchased are subject to the same collection development criteria as any other work.
"Gifts" Donated Items
The PTPL welcomes donations of books and other materials and accepts monetary contributions toward
the purchase of materials. The PTPL reserves the right to decide the disposition of all gifts received. Gifts
added to the PTPL's collection become the property of the PTPL and will be placed where most
appropriate. Material not added to the PTPL's collection may be sold by the Friends of the Port
Townsend Library. The proceeds from material sales are used by the Friends to support our mission.
Material selection and collection maintenance will follow the general practices of the PTPL's collection
development policies.
Request for Withdrawal or Addition of Library Materials
The PTPL believes in information for all and does not practice censorship. A patron questioning material
in the collection is encouraged to talk to library staff about the material. Patrons who are residents of
the City of Port Townsend may submit a Request for Reconsideration or Addition of Library Material
Form for material that the patron considers objectionable or to request materials be added to the
collection. A procedure is in place for handling such requests. Materials under reconsideration/addition
will remain available to patrons until a determination has been made. Only one Request for
Reconsideration/Addition per title is allowed. The Library Director or the Director's designee will
respond with a written decision within 30-60 days of receiving a completed Request for
Reconsideration/Addition Form.

Libby Atkins, a long time Port Townsend resident, purchased the bronze Emily Carr
Commemorative Statue, by Canadian sculptor Barbara Paterson, many years ago in
anticipation of donating the sculpture to the Port Townsend Public Library for
generations of children to enjoy. The Library has a deep connection to Emily Carr and
her artistic and literary legacy. For any donation of this value, the consideration of the
Port Townsend Arts Commission (PTAC) and Library Advisory Board (LAB)
recommendations are important steps, prior to City Council consideration.
Emily Carr (December 13, 1871 — March 2, 1945) was a Canadian artist and writer who
was inspired by the monumental art and villages of the First Nations and the landscapes
of British Columbia and was said to capture the "aliveness" of the Pacific Northwest
forests. Carr has been referred to as the Georgia O'Keeffe of the Pacific Northwest. In
2011, The Forest Lover, a historical fiction novel about Emily Carr by Susan Vreeland
was the Library's annual Community Read. Emily loved animals and had a pet monkey
named Woo and a dog named Billy, and both animals are in this sculpture. The
Library's collection has many books by and about Emily Carr.
The Library maintains its own art collection focused on art that has local and regional
literary ties and judiciously accepts donations of art within the Library director's donation
signing authority. Any donations of a monetary value of $5,000 or more must go to the
City Council for approval. The purchased value of the Emily Carr Statue is over
$11,000. The Library recommendation would be supportive of this donation and display
the Emily Carr statue inside the Library for all to enjoy. At PTAC's February 1St meeting
the commission unanimously supported recommending that City Council accept this
donation and thanked donor Libby Atkins in person. At LAB's February 13th meeting
the board also voted unanimously to support PTAC's recommendation and thanked
donor Libby Atkins.
This donation is consistent with both the City's Art in Public Places policy and, more
importantly, the City's Library Collection Development Policy. The piece is aesthetically
pleasing and of a scale appropriate for display in the Library. The donation is
unrestricted. The sculpture is part of a limited smaller -scale casting of a larger work
displayed in Victoria, BC. It is a durable piece that can easily be displayed for many
years in the Library. The donor is prepared to install the sculpture upon the City
Council's approval. As the piece will be installed inside the Library on the stairwell up to
the Carnegie Reading Room, it will be protected from vandalism and can be safely
secured to a base. The sculpture will need little maintenance as it will be installed inside
the Library. While the piece is not subject to the Art in Public Places Policy, it is
consistent with the policy.
Images of the statue are on the next pages. The Library thanks PTAC and LAB for their
support of this donation and thanks City Council for their consideration of accepting this
donation.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Background Statement
The City received a 2023 Legislative Session State Appropriation with a net grant
award of $727,500 to purchase up to 345 acres of recently logged timber land on
Eaglemount, between Anderson Lake Road and City Lake, to secure a right of
way for the future Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) and provide an alignment for a
replacement water transmission line in relatively steep terrain. See attached
map.
Benefits of purchasing this land for the for the water transmission line and
potentially for the ODT are listed below:
a. Olympic Discovery Trail
• Secures land for the water utility that may be used to fill a gap of 3.4
miles of Right of Way in an area of relatively steep terrain between
Anderson Lake Road and City Lake for the ODT
• Provides options for the ODT to avoid Critical Areas and room for
switchbacks and provides a trail option to avoid treacherous sections
of S R20
• Makes available to the public breathtaking views of Discovery Bay and
the Olympic Mountains
b. Water Transmission Line
• The current City easement for the existing aging water transmission
line has limited to no rights in terms of protection against damage
during logging operations.
• The current water transmission line alignment is in areas of greater
than 40% terrain which makes access for repairs and maintenance
very difficult.
• The access road for the water transmission line can be co -located with
the ODT resulting in more efficient maintenance of the water
transmission line.
The water utility will own this property for long term stewardship of the
forest and land. The property was recently clear cut by the owner and
replanted with a monoculture of trees.
II. Project Purpose
Additional resources are needed to supplement the grant to purchase the land.
The nuances of the purchase of this property were discussed with the City
Council on March 6, 2023 in executive session as it relates to price of real estate.
No formal action was taken at that time. Resources to fill the gap needed to
purchase the property is proposed to come from the sustainable harvest of
utility owned Timber Lands associated with the Olympic Gravity Water System.
As stewards of these lands, the City proposes contracting with Chickadee
Forestry to provide sustainable forest management and timber assessment
professional services. The utility owned subject properties to be evaluated are
listed in the table below.

This work will provide the City with a plan to best manage the lands and will
include recommendations for selective harvesting to improve the health of the
land, and provide a recurring long-term income for the water utility.
Chickadee Forestry provides similar services for Jefferson County with a focus
on long term forest sustainability, the local economy, and forest health. Given, all
of these properties were once clear cut, there is an opportunity to restore forest
health why maximizing the long-term asset value of the water utility.
III. Budget
This project budget was approved in the 2024 capital budget. See attached.
IV. Staff Recommendation
Given, Chickadee Forestry is a local firm focusing on local sustainability of our
forests and given experience working with Jefferson County, staff recommends
working with Chickadee Forestry to begin the process of active management of
the water utility owned properties along with selective harvesting to support
purchase of the Eaglemount property.
