SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Second Quarter Financial Report for 2024 provides a summary of the financial
activity through June. Financial results remain on target. The City’s reserves continue to
remain strong and within policy parameters, keeping the City in a good financial position.
Key general government revenues such as sales tax, property tax, lodging tax and
development and permitting fees are on target and coming in as expected primarily due
to strong results in the retail, construction, and accommodation segments of the market.
Real estate excise tax results show transaction activity has slowed in comparison to the
last couple of years. The City continues to reap revenue benefits from the new investment
strategy implemented by the finance department due to the higher interest rates. Due to
this success, we will continue to increase investments in 2024 leveraging the higher
interest rates as long as we are able to and thereby maximizing investment revenue.
The City remains in a good financial position. Revenues are coming in as expected while
expenses are under budget due to vacancies and timing of projects. The City is
positioned for the higher expense activity (capital projects) that did not occur this year
even as some of this moves into 2025. The Consumer Price Index or CPI peaked in 2022
and continues to drop now at 3.8% down .8 from a year ago at this time. We continue to
watch for other key indicators in the national economy that will impact us locally. Some
of those indicators include the real estate market trends, corporate orders and profits,
plus overall employment. There is no way to know the future, but the goal is to remain
thoughtful and diligent while utilizing the resources we have available without
overextending our bounds. Staff continues to look for the right balance.
As a cash basis reporting entity, some of the variances to the annual budget identified in
the report summaries may be a result of timing of either the cash receipt of the revenues
or cash payment of the expenditures.

2024 Second Quarter Report 2024 -Fund Financial Status Analysis
The following analysis is on the second quarter financial report for 2024. This analysis
th
provides a summary of the financial activity through June 30. The second quarter is usually
more indicative of the budget as we have now reached the halfway point in the fiscal year.
Property tax revenue, for example, now has a reliable trend to be measured upon. This is also
true of other main revenues such as sales taxes and real estate excise taxes (REET). The same
can be said for many expenditures as well such as labor costs (wages and benefits), debt and
interfund transfers (including overhead allocations). The fund balance has increased by $1.86m
th
as of June 30. In the 2024 budget the City is projected to see a decrease in cash of $1.81m.
Looking at the “revenue vs expense” summary statement you can see that the most significant
reasons for this current $3.7m difference can be found in Enterprise Funds ($2m), Special
Revenue Funds ($1.2m) and Debt Service Funds ($431k). Single significant impacts are seen in
ARPA, as transfers have yet to be made for a projected $690k and in the Water/Sewer Fund
where transfers, payroll and Water Quality/WTF Operations are significantly under budget
($1m). Storm Operations and Capital expenditures are also significantly under budget at this
point ($727k), possibly due to lower levels of staffing and capital activity. Though the City is
struggling with some understaffed departments (finance/police/public works) we, the staff have
been able to positively manage the 2024 budget keeping the City in a strong financial position.
The following comments highlight other significant activity in Q2:
Investments continue to bring in over budget revenues due to the aggressive policy
change that was first started in 2023. Of the $496.5k budgeted revenues projected in
2024, we have already collected $428.6k! This is significantly over budget and projects
out to come in near $1m! In 2023 at the 6-month mark the city had earned $238.3k at
this point, a growth of almost 80% in 2024! The 2022 total investment interest earned
was $167k, the policy is working to great benefits for the city’s revenue.
Budgeted expenditures for 2024 stand at 11% under the projected budget amount for
the halfway mark, almost $6,500,000. Some of this is due to timing on capital projects,
for example. Though the city is short staffed and there are “savings” on labor costs,
much of this is made up by increased consultant costs. ARPA transfers (costs) have yet
to be made but certainly will be by year end and this makes up 10% of the mid-point
cost reductions.
Budgeted Revenues are under budget by 6%, nearly $3.7m less than projected. The
single biggest impact here is in the Water/Sewer Capital Fund which is under budget by
$3.8m! This is due to capital projects and miscellaneous water and sewer revenue
budgeted amounts surpassing $4.3m.
3
Significant revenue trends are provided in the trend analysis reports that we have
included with the main revenue/expenses budget in the actual report. The main revenues
that we have prepared these trend analyses reports for include: (1) property taxes (8.5%
growth); (2) sales taxes (12% growth); (3) real estate excise taxes (decline of 2.4%); (4)
permits (declined 33.3%); (5) business licenses (1.6% growth) and (6) business &
occupation taxes (3.9% growth). The thought process was that this would give a good
indication of how the economy of Port Townsend was trending.
The 2024 budget was amended in the Budget Supplement prepared in August and this
will be addressed in the third quarter report. Most of this supplement was focused on
cleaning up the rushed budget preparation in late 2023 due to staffing shortages. I
mention this due to two adjustments (journal entries) to prevent the Capital Project
Funds (300’s) from having a negative balance. This was addressed by accelerating
interfund transfers from the General Fund, Street Operation Fund and the Real Estate
Excise Tax Fund. This mostly came about due to grant proceeds timing issues being
received in July and August.
Overall, the City of Port Townsend’s cash position and fund reserves are strong. Staff recognizes
that the tardiness of these second quarter reports is not optimal and is committed to having third
quarter reports ready for review at the November’s Finance and Budget Committee Meeting.
Thank you.

Property Tax
th
Property Taxes are up by 8.5% from 2023 as of June 30. This is a sign of multiple indicators
such as assessed valuation and possibly new construction along with the 1% allowable on
property tax increases. This is a positive sign though it is down from the 16.3% of growth last
year at this time, it is still strong. Especially considering the limitations on raising property taxes
in Washington State.

Real Estate Excise Taxes
Real Estate Excise Taxes (REET) are collected from all real estate transactions. The utilization
of this revenue is restricted to capital projects and projects identified in the capital facilities plan.
th
Real Estate Excise tax is downas of June 30by 2.4% compared with this date last year.
However, while this is not great news it is better than last year significantly so,wherethe
th
downward trend was at 27.1% from 2022 as of June 30.It is not a direct indicator of the
economy in Port Townsend,but it is likely impacted by higherinterest rates than in 2021 and

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The 2025 budget has been developed with a continued emphasis on financial
sustainability and the key priorities outlined during the City Council Retreat on July 22,
2023. These priorities align with the five focus areas identified by both staff and Council.
A more detailed review process was undertaken to establish the 2025 revenue
projections, ensuring a cautious and prudent approach to budgeting. As a result of
updated information, the Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) projection has been revised to
$650,000, down from the initial estimate of $661,500 presented at the October 14 Council
revenue workshop. Additionally, the Business and Occupation (B&O) tax forecast has
been adjusted to $918,000, reduced from the earlier projection of $1,171,047. The
Transportation Benefit District (TBD) is expected to generate $1,200,000, which will
significantly support the funding of planned capital projects in 2025.
Investing in Our Workforce Staffing remains a central focus in the proposed 2025
budget. The budget includes the creation of five new positions: a Community Services
Director (replacing the current Library Director), an Arts and Culture Coordinator, a
Water Maintenance Worker, a Streets Operator, and a Parks Maintenance Worker.
The proposed budget maintains current salary levels for both represented, except for
police,and non-represented employees. The Teamsters Collective Bargaining
Agreement expires on December 31, 2024, and negotiations are currently ongoing. A
budget amendment reflecting any negotiated changes will be presented to the Council in
2025 for review and adoption. Additionally, one-time funding has been allocated for
continued staff development, training, and appreciation programs.
Departmental synergy. The budget includes a change in how the City organizes some
of our important community services: a combined Community Services Department that
incorporates Parks and Facilities teams, the Library department, and adds an arts and
culture component to oversee the PT Creative District. The aim is for better, more
integrated, more stable delivery of these services to our community alongside a fiscally
prudent way of doing so.
Managing Debt and Financial Resilience
While we successfully accelerated debt repayment last year, certain debt obligations will
reemerge in 2026. To proactively manage these future payments, the 2025 budget
allocates funds in anticipation of these costs. These funds will be invested this year,
leveraging the current high interest rates until they are required for debt repayment in
the future.
Policy Considerations
As part of the budget process, two financial policy revisions will be brought forward for
Council consideration and adoption alongside the 2025 budget. A key proposed policy
is the establishment of a Vacancy Rate Policy, which will enable the allocation of
savings from staff vacancies into a “Rainy Day” fund. The addition of the rainy-day
component to the existing contingency fund will allow us to expand our reserves for
future economic downturns or during times of natural disaster. This fund will be
dedicated to supporting employee retention initiatives, such as staff appreciation and
training programs, and will help maintain staffing levels during these economic
downturns.
Infrastructure Investments
The budget includes continued investment in over $45 million worth of funded
infrastructure projects. These projects, which include water, sewer, stormwater, and
park improvements, will address years of deferred maintenance and are critical to
ensuring the long-term sustainability of the city’s infrastructure.
This budget reflects our ongoing commitment to fiscal responsibility, efficient service
delivery, and the long-term well-being of our community.

December 2 – Public Hearing on 2025 budget adoption.

City of Port Townsend
Street Operations Fund Budget Detail and Summary
Street Operations
Goal Statement:
The City of Port Townsend Streets and Collections Division of Public Works has the primary
responsibility of maintaining city streets, the wastewater collections system, and the stormwater
collection system. Maintenance includes street repair, vegetation control, garbage
management, special projects in right of way, event support, sidewalk repairs, annual cleaning
of sewer and stormwater pipes, catch basin and maintenance holes maintenance, sweeping,
and snow plowing.
2025 Key Goal:
A primary goal of this division is to continue to increase investment on drainage and street
repairs. This will involve drainage control work and moving to hot mix asphalt patching
compared to cold mix pothole repairs. This transition was successful in 2023 with investment
of banked capacity (property tax) into a number of City streets that have fallen into disrepair.
.
Another primary goal is to implement the General Sewer Plan with methodic inspection and
to begin to rehabilitate the aging sewer collection system.
2025Work Plan:
The division will continue complete the 2022 and 2023 banked capacity road restoration
projects..
Implement the Comprehensive Streets Program through investment of new revenue
associated with the Transportation Benefit District.
Perform annual hot spot pavement repairs.
Support an arterial street chip seal preservation project.
Support overlay of Tyler Street
Begin systematic sewer inspection program with new video camera documentation
equipment..
The street division works closely with the engineering division to implement a number of
projects throughout the year. Please refer to the engineering writeup for more details.
Continue to implement a newly developed city-wide ditch maintenance program. This
program strives to correct drainage deficiencies ahead of paving project to prevent premature
deterioration of pavement due to saturation of the underlying soils.

City Hall underwent a remodel in 2007 and left many parts of the project incomplete. In 2021 a front counter was added to the lobby. After space planning in 2022, a continued phased
approach to upgrading the City Hall office spaces on floors 2R and 3 were recommended. These floors were never completed in the earlier remodels of City Hall. The work proposed includes
sound control, HVAC, carpet replacement, furniture, and conference room development. In addition to the office space modifications, ARPA funding provided for Council upgrade of badly
outdated electronics associated with audio and visual equipment.ARPA Phase 2 and CarpetsARPA Phase 1Council Chambers (ARPA)Jefferson Co. Historical SocietyARPA - Second FloorARPA -

The existing Kah Tai restrooms were originally constructed with grant funding from RCO. The restrooms have fallen into disrepair and have suffered severe vandalism over the years.
As a result, the restrooms have been closed for a number of years. The City desires to re-open the restrooms and establish an RV caretaker site to minimize the effects of vandalism.
Staff is applying for RCO grants to rehabilitate the restrooms.2023 Banked CapacityARPARCO Grant (Unsecured) - No match requiredGeneral Fund Transfer InPlumbing PermitDemo PermitPhase

The majority of the City water meters are over 20 years old and are in need of replacement. Meters either start leaking or start missing volume of water in the reads causing the city
to lose revenue. Additionally, the meters need to be replaced with an automatic read system to reduce labor costs for reading of meters from approximately 15 person days to 3 person
days per month. The meters will be installed in phases over a 3-5 year period. The rate model has meter replacement beginning in 2025. Water Capital Surcharge (430)Water Operating

The Lawrence Street stormwater system is connected to the sewer system for a section of Lawrence Street in Uptown between the Library and Tyler Street. Separation of this system from
the sewer system is a benefit to the Monroe Street sewer lift station as well as the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The cost of the project and scoping needs to be evaluated based on
the road condition. Additionally, staff desires to secure grant resources. This project is the first phase to establish a pre-design for competitive grant applications. The sewer
plan estimates the project at $5.6 million. Funding was secured in 2024 for design, thus this project budget has been increased to represent the best information available at this
time.Sewer Operations (411)Sewer Capital Surcharge (430)Sewer SDC (495)Stormwater Operations (412)Streets (Paving)PWB Pre-construction Loan - SecuredLoan/Grant (Unsecured)Design ConsultantConstructi

A large rain storm in the spring of 2024 excentuated a problem at Logan Street, cause a pipe failure on the bluff near Kanu Drive, and washed out a bank along SR20. An emergency declaration
was passed by the City Council on April 15, 2024 to allow for design build solutions to expedite the process of addressing these three locations. The estimate at the Council meeting
was a cost of at least $200,000 for this challenging work. The rate model for storm included $100,000 for Logan Street. This budget illustrates a need of an additional $200,000. This
project includes the previous budgets as well as the other two locations. The Stormwater rate model includes $50,000 per year for misc. storm improvements as a contingency. This means
that stormwater reserves will be dipped into in order to address this cost. Stormwater Operations (412)RH2ENGINKanu DrLoganSR20 Project Management City Administration Project Contingency

Objective: Balancing the Budget and Building Financial Sustainability
Let’s use our Financial Sustainability work as a guide. For instance, looking in advance to future debt payment (2026), recognizing economic development and housing to create revenue
to meet service demands. We aim to workshop this some on 10/14.Let’s ensure we maintain reserve balances consistent with policies. For instance, let’s not draw down reserves below
policy or use them for ongoing expenses or we’ll be hiring then firing.Let’s remember and reference our strategic workplan. For instance, balancing the budget will require making tough
decisions about priorities. We want to do it all but we can’t do so all at once!

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Staff present the City Manager’s Preliminary 2025 Budget to City Council, with an
opportunity to receive public testimony on the preliminary budget and its revenues
sources as well as an opportunity to receive City Council questions, feedback, and
direction to staff in advance of the first draft of the proposed budget. The first public
hearing on the 2025 proposed budget will occur on November 18, 2024, with the
second on December 2, 2024, and with final adoption anticipated on December 2, 2024.
The 2025 budget essentially began in July 2025 with the City Council/Department
Director strategic workplan retreat, focusing on how to balance both the year-on-year
operational needs with the longer-term, integrated strategic thinking of the Financial
Sustainability Initiative.
High-Level Overview
Based on previous City Council feedback from the October 7, 2024, City Council
business meeting and October 14, 2024, City Council workshop, staff have focused on
elements of the budget that transcend the next fiscal year and help implement the
Financial Sustainability Initiative, including but not limited to the following elements:
Smart seed funding for facilities repair and replacement. In the 2024 budget,
we recognized that we do not plan well for facilities replacement and repair, often
scrambling to find money after things inevitably break. We set aside funding to
seed a repair/replacement fund to better anticipate and respond to facilities
needs. This budget is the second year (of five) for investment into that fund.
Smart seed funding for fleets repair and replacement.The facilities seed
funding approach is working, so we are proposing a similar approach for fleets in
2025. Similarly, doing so puts fleet repair and replacement on a predictable
schedule which means better predictability and financial stability.
Smarter investments. The City takes in and pays out funds every day, but per
policy and common sense, we need to ensure that the balance stays positive.
Better financial planning means we put our balance to work earning interest,
taking advantage of high interest rates and phasing the investments so we still
have access to funds in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Fighting off our debt. Debt is an inevitable reality for almost all cities as it helps
spread longer-term investments more equitably to those who benefit. Too much
debt, however, hinders our abilities to get more accomplished and the City and
our community have suffered from the City overleveraging debt. Last year we
paid off some debt early, but some of those payments return in 2026. This year’s
budget gets a jump on those 2026 payments by setting funding aside so we don’t
overextend this year. We will also, as per above, invest those funds this year
while they sit in waiting for next year.
Rainy-day fund. This fund strengthens our approach to preparing for
unanticipated downturns and natural disasters to ensure stability of staffing and
services. Putting aside one-time revenue like sales tax from major projects seeds
the fund and will provide continuity when we need it most.
Bold housing action. The Comprehensive Plan, a major priority for 2025, is
crucial to housing availability and affordability – and fundamental to delivering
financial sustainability. More residents add character and help spread the costs
of services that we all depend on. Plus, more attainable housing helps local
businesses –and the City – recruit and retain employees who provide important
services, amenities, and local economic development. Perhaps more importantly,
many of our residents suffer from the lack of affordable housing options and
housing action is key to a more healthy, safe, and equitable community.
Strategic staffing. Our staff size has not grown consistently with the population
of residents, and we’ve been chronically understaffed for many years. Adding
positions like a Parks Maintenance Worker, a Water Distribution Maintenance
Worker, a Streets Operator, and a Housing Coordinator help us deliver on our
core priorities.
Departmental synergy. The budget includes a change in how the City organizes
some of our important community services: a combined Community Services
Department that incorporates Parks and Facilities teams, the Library department,
and adds an arts and culture component to oversee the PT Creative District. The
aim is for better, more integrated, more stable delivery of these services to our
community alongside a fiscally prudent way of doing so.
Major progress on infrastructure projects. With over $45m of funded
infrastructure projects on the books, we continue to move forward with streets,
water, sewer, stormwater, parks, facilities and other infrastructure projects that
not just catch us up from years of deferred maintenance, but help take us forward
in building a stronger, more resilient, and better community for us all.

Champion aspirations for a thriving community as envisioned in our Comprehensive Plan
THE 2025 CITY MANAGER BUDGET
Message from the City Manager:
Over the past few years, in preparing the budget for City Council consideration, the City
team has transitioned away from the fear and uncertainty of the pandemic, the myopia of
simply thinking about the next year ahead, and the somewhat stale, hold-over approach
.
If you take the time to review the previous budgets or even just the budget
messages from me them evolve into something increasingly clear-eyed,
strategic, and honest.
This year we attempt to keep moving forward in similar fashion, with a balanced, smart,
and forward-
enduring success.
Certainly, the team and I continue to be challenged by macroeconomic conditions beyond
our control, like escalating costs of materials and labor, or local and regional conditions
like seemingly impossible housing affordability. Add to that the discomfort of new or
changing state and federal requirements or the accounting realities of keeping funds
balanced and appropriately separated
a bit on the back foot. Despite that, a persistent
focus on the future of our community. Over time, we believe that, by making tough
decisions and sticking together, we can make things fairer and better for everyone.

2025 City Manager Preliminary Budget
To those ends, wehaveworked for at least half a year to prepare this budget. It started
at a strategic workplan retreat in July with City Council and Department Directors when
we honed in on our priorities with an appropriate mix of ambition and reality. Much of that
retreat focused on how to balance both the year-on-year operational needs with the
longer-term, integrated strategic thinking of the Financial Sustainability Initiative. That
initiative grounds us in multi-year approach to fiscal responsibility -changing
We then asked each department to provide their list of budget requests that would get
those priorities done multi-
year financial sustainability journey. All of this was balanced against 2025 revenue
predictions and our policies that require all funds to stay in the black. Many of those items
Smart seed funding for facilities repair and replacement. In the 2024 budget,
we recognized that we do not plan well for facilities replacement and repair, often

These are but a few ideas captured in the 2025 budget. I encourage you to read through
these pages, and I invite you to stay engaged in the budget process. I hope you find it a
refreshing change perhaps
more clear-eyed, strategic, and honest. Regardless, feel free to reach out to me with your
thoughts by email at jmauro@cityofpt.us, attend one of my coffee conversations each first
my regular show on KPTZ each Thursday at 12:30. Better yet, I invite you to explore and
discover ways you might be able to get involved to help us deliver on our collective
aspirations for a healthier, more resilient, more inclusive Port Townsend for us all.

2025 City Manager Preliminary Budget
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) provided $350 billion in funding for state
and local governments. The City of Port Townsend was awarded $2,755,388. The first
tranche of this funding, $1,373,493, was received in July 2021. The second half was
received in July 2022. The funding has limited eligible uses but, in general, can be used
for:
Revenue replacement for the provision of government services to the extent the
reduction in revenue was due to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
COVID-19 expenditures or negative economic impacts of COVID-19, including
assistance to small businesses, households, industries, and economic recovery.
Premium pay for essential workers.
Investments in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure.
Based on updated guidance received from the Federal Treasury in March 2022, the City
determined that the best use of the funds received from ARPA is Revenue Replacement.
These funds are temporary in nature and non-recurring, so care has been used in
allocating these funds in ways that do not add programs that require ongoing financial
commitments.
In September 2021, the City Council discussed the adoption of three priority pillars when
determining the programs/projects these funds would be allocated to. These pillars are
1) support staff, 2) support financial sustainability, and 3) deliver an integrated community
backed vision for parks and recreation. Based on these pillars, an array of projects was
presented for consideration in both 2021 and 2022. In both 2022 and 2023, all prior
projects were reviewed to ensure federal guidance requirements will be met. In addition,
all projects were reviewed for funding needs and project timeline. Columns were added
to reflect 2024 changes and a revised 2022-2024 allocation representing the total
allocated amount for the project.
The funds must be obligated before December 31, 2024, and spent by the end of 2026
as specified in the ARPA Treasury guidelines.
The updated project list below totals $2,755,388 and allocates both tranches of fund:
Page | 5
2025 City Manager Preliminary Budget
In 2022, a Special Revenue Fund was established to monitor the ARPA revenues and
Office to ensure proper accounting and coding for these funds. Anticipated operating
expenses and corresponding transfers are reflected in the graphs and materials
presented in the budget.
2025 BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS
The 2025 City Manager Proposed Budget allocates resources to initiatives included in
5 strategic workplan. This workplan was developed by staff and reviewed
and workshopped with the City Council at an all-day retreat held on July 22, 2024.
The 202 strategic workplan is broken down into seven major categories:
Page | 6
2025 City Manager Preliminary Budget
INVEST IN OUR PEOPLE
Build and nurture the capacity of our staff, teams, volunteers, advisory board
members, Councilmembers and partnerships and provide them the toolsets,
skillsets, and mindsets to achieve more together.

our community in decisions that affect their lives and livelihoods as well as
ground civic dialogue in civility and kindness.
STRENGTHEN OUR FINANCIAL POSITION
Set the City and community up for sustained success by deliberately choosing to
build financial sustainability to address the challenges of today and prepare for
tomorrow.
INNOVATE OUR SYSTEMS, STRUCTURES & PROCESSES
Set the City and community up for sustained success through process and
structure improvements and optimization.
ENVISION OUR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE AND DELIVER OUR PRIORITY INITIATIVES
Deliver the 2025-2045 Comprehensive Plan and associated priorities to catalyze a
financially, socially, and environmentally sustainable future.
DELIVER THE BASICS
Provide consistent critical operations, ongoing statutory responsibilities, and core
City functions.
Associated funding in the 2025 budget has been given to specific budgeted items. Staff
time for many of the projects is a key component to successful completion. A summary
5 strategic workplan is included as part of the 2025 Proposed Budget
Book.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Affordable Housing is a key priority for 2025 and beyond. The City continues its work
to support efforts for affordable housing in the city and region. The City has made
significant contributions to housing in a variety of ways. Some key examples of these
contributions are:
Implementation of a Sales & Use Tax for Affordable and Supportive Housing
th
(Substitute House Bill 1406) in the 4 quarter of 2020. This tax is a tax credit
against the state portion of our City sales tax and did not increase the total
amount of retail sales tax.
Investment of approximately $21,000 per year; cumulative total of $70,000
through 2023.
Fee deferrals for housing providers for certain permit fees and system
development charges. Providers include Habitat for Humanity, Peninsula
Housing, Olympic Community Action Program and Bayside Housing & Services.
Total investment from 2011-2021 of $420,914.
Page | 7
2025 City Manager Preliminary Budget
Investment of approximately $62,000 annually for debt service payment with a total
commitment over a 20-year period of $1,324,125 for total principal and interest
payments.
The City obtained a grant from Department of Commerce in 2021 to acquire
property that will be earmarked for affordable housing Grant provides investment
of $1,375,000 for the property purchase. Fourteen acres was acquired for the
Evans Vista Neighborhood.
The City obtained a grant from Department of Commerce in 2021 to build utility
infrastructure to support affordable housing Grant provides investment of
$1,700,000 for the extension of utilities to lower the cost of building affordable
housing.
The City secured $500,000 in 2022 to Master Plan the Evans Vista neighborhood
from the Jefferson County American Rescue Plan Act funds.
The City Council has also made legislative changes related to housing including:
Adopted multi-family tax exemption (Ordinance 3200, 2018) provided limited or
12-year exemptions from ad valorem property taxation for qualified new multiple-
unit housing in targeted areas
Removed the owner-occupied requirement for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
(Ordinance 3241, 2019)
Adopted regulations to allow up to an eight-plex in the R-II single-family zone
through a conditional use permit (Ord. 3241, 2019)
Raised the maximum SEPA threshold exemption to the maximum allowable (Ord.
3241, 2019). Projects that may be eligible for SEPA exemption include single-
family residential projects, up to 20 dwelling units, and multi-family residential
projects, up to 60 dwelling units.
Repealed modulation requirements (Ordinance 3247, 2020)
Increased the size allowed for an attached ADU to 1000 square feet (Ordinance
3247, 2020)
Decreased the lot size allowed in a cottage development to 2500 square feet
(Ordinance 3247, 2020)
Adopted regulations allowing zero lot line/shared wall construction duplexes
(Ordinance 3272, 2021)
Reduced the minimum lot size allowed in a Planned Unit Development to 2000
square feet (Ordinance 3272, 2021)
AdoptTactical Infill Housing Code Update
with $50,000 investment, which included:
o Allowing two ADUs per residence, eliminated ADU parking requirements,
reduced ADU setbacks, increased lot coverage for ADUs, allowed exterior
ADU entrances on building front, allowed Tiny Houses on Wheels to be
used as ADUs.
o Reducing Cottage Housing permit as administrative without design review
committee, eliminated barrier design requirements.
o Reducing parking for duplex/triplex/fourplex. Relaxed parking for multifamily
in mixed use.
Page | 8
2025 City Manager Preliminary Budget
o Creatingnew unit lot subdivision(ULS) toolto enable attached housing to
be built on zero lot line and conveyed fee simple. A parent lot can be
subdivi
Townhouses, rowhouses, of 5 or more units allowed in R-II, R-III and R-IV
zones. Townhome configurations of 4 or less exempt from design review.
o Allowing ULS for cottage housing, attached fee simple housing, and Tiny
House on Wheel Communities.
o Allowing Tiny House on Wheel Communities with subdivision or Binding
Site Plan and conditional use permit in R-III and C-II zones.
o Allowing employer-provided housing with conditional use permit in certain
zones to enable housing in zones where it is otherwise prohibited.
(Ordinance 3306, 2023)
Much of this work was made possible through a 2-year American Rescue Plan Act
allocation (in 2023/24 budget and included in 2025 budget proposal) for a Long-
Range Planner and a Professional Services Budget for code amendments.
Adopted 2023 Annual Comprehensive Plan Updates (Ordinances 3322 and 3323),
which included:
o Permitting greater maximum housing density in the R-IV High Density
Multifamily, C-I/MU Neighborhood Serving Mixed Use, Center C-II/MU
Community Serving Mixed Use Center, and M/C(S) Mixed Light
Manufacturing and Commercial Rainier Subarea zones.
o Permitting higher building height in the C-I/MU, C-II/MU, and M/C(S) zones.
o Specifying that height restrictions apply to habitable space, not rooftop
appurtenances such as elevator towers or water towers. The previous
height definition had limited the amount of habitable space since developers
were constrained by the height of appurtenances that are necessary for
taller buildings, such as elevators.
o Permitting greater lot coverage in the R-IV, C-I/MU, C-II/MU, and M/C(S)
zones.
o Permitting a mixture of vertical and horizontal uses in the mixed-use zones.
o Replacing Building Frontage with Minimum Commercial Space and Clear
Ceiling Height Requirements in the mixed-use zones. This allows more
flexibility in how mixed-use spaces are developed while still preserving the
ability to rent commercial space.
o Altering floor area ratio (FAR) requirements in the mixed-use zones and
M/C(S) zone to encourage greater housing density.
o Removing minimum lot size requirement in the M/C(S) zone.
o Reducing the minimum lot width required for townhouses/rowhouses in the
M/C(S) zone.
o Allowing projects in the R-IV, C-I/MU, C-II/MU, and M/C(S), to substitute
one developed on-street parking space for three developed off-street
parking spaces. This preserves more land within lots for the development
of housing, commercial space, or other non-parking amenities. It also
encourages the development of the right of way.

2025 City Manager Preliminary Budget
Much of this work was made possible through a 2-year American Rescue Plan Act
allocation (in 2023 budget and included in 2024 budget proposal) for a Long-Range
Planner and a Professional Services Budget for code amendments.
The City also worked in partnership with Jefferson County through our Interlocal
Agreement to support affordable housing and homeless housing programs. The Housing
Fund Board builds on collaborative efforts from the previous Joint Oversight Board and
Housing Task Force to create a budget and plan for the use of collective affordable
housing funds like the aforementioned Sales and Use Tax as well as other local-authority
funding. This effort aims at greater participation by elected officials and greater
transparency in the granting process for a more successful and coordinated program.
The City continues to explore additional strategies to promote affordable housing. Grant
awards totaling $788,407 for 2024 with partial funding through 2025 will support code and
policy updates that will enhance and streamline housing. These grants will include
considerable community engagement on how to holistically address housing and quality
of life in Port Townsend. These grants include the 2025 Comprehensive Plan Periodic
Update, multimodal transportation and climate resiliency, shoreline periodic update,
middle housing, and urban forestry plan and tree ordinance amendment.
KEY REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS

View Commons voted tax assessment will be levied to fund 50% of the annual debt
service for this voted bond.
The City had $908,724 of banked levy capacity related to the annexation of City fire
services into the East Jefferson Fire District service area. The City Council adopted a
post-annexation policy which allowed the City to levy the banked capacity incrementally
over a 3-year period.
o In 2020, the City Council adopted post-annexation policy allowed the City to levy
the first 33% of the banked capacity. Due to the economic conditions during the

The post-annexation policy restrictedthe use of these funds from 2020 through 2023for
specific uses. The restricted banked capacity funds from both the 2022 and 2023 property
taxes have been set aside for specific purpose as outlined in the post-annexation policy.
As per the policy and agreement, funds are unrestricted beginning in 2024.

Utility Tax revenues in the proposed 2025budget are based on all City water, sewer,
storm water and garbage services. The City imposes a 18% tax on the revenues of the
a 22% utility tax on the revenues. The 2025budget is
forecasted based on the continuation of the tax.
Total public utility tax forecasted for 2025is $2,125,586and is intended to support all the
general services of the City.
Garbage service is required within the City. Garbage utility tax is slated to increase at the
monthly service rate increase of 8% (contracted CPI adjustment).
Page | 13
2025 City Manager Preliminary Budget
Private utility tax rates are 6% of the private utility revenue. The 2024telephone and
electric private utility taxes are estimated to be $910,000. The electric and telephone
utility taxes are projected to increase by 2% compared to 2024 projections.
State Shared Revenues are based on distributions that are shared via state revenue
assessments. The City receives distributions for liquor profits and tax, criminal justice and
marijuana tax distributions, fuel and multi-modal gas taxes, which primarily support Public
Safety and Streets. Some of these distributions are population-
population for 2023 listed by the Office of Financial Management as 10,330 (a 1.8%
increase from 202010,148). 2023 projected state shared revenue is
$494,250.
Overhead Cost Recovery is projected to decrease by approximately $24,500, or 1.5%
in 2025. The de
overhead cost recovery model. The allocation model looks back two years to recover
overhead costs occurring in 2022 for 2024. The slow growth revenue in 2024 is primarily
the result of allocating less overhead to the Streets, Water, Sewer, and Community Funds
due to increased property valuations, increasing costs of services and Council agenda
bills in those funds.
Utility Revenues (Water, Sewer and Stormwater) are budgeted at the adopted rate
increases outlined in the rate tables in Ordinance 3281. The City uses utility rate models
provided by FCS Consulting Group, to analyze whether our utility rates fully support
capital infrastructure and operations of water, sewer, and stormwater. A sewer and
stormwater rate study was completed in early 2024.
In 2025, the City is projected to have a total of 5,580 water/sewer accounts with 408, or
7.3%, of those projected to be commercial accounts. Below is a chart demonstrating the
growth in commercial and residential water/sewer accounts from 2021 through projected
2025:

continues to balance the need to retain qualified, capable staff by providing fair and
competitive wages while also maintaining appropriate service levels. A salary survey was
conducted in 2023 which has resulted in an updated compensation policy for non-
represented employees.Recruitment of key positions willcontinueto bea challenge in
2024due to a competitive labor market and housing affordability and availability.

budgeted positions include City Custodial, City Electrician, Streets Maintenance Worker,
Assistant Library Director, Cultural Services Director, Wastewater Operator, and an
increasing the Grants Coordinator for full time. The positions are outlined by departments
in the chart below:
Employee groups include three sectors, the Police Collective Bargaining Unit, General
Collective Bargaining Unit, and non-represented personnel.

priority for Port Townsend. The 2025budget assumes full staffing and the addition of a
full-time deputy police chief. The budget includes 15.0 full-time officers and 1 provisional
officer. Wage increases for this bargaining unit are not included and will need to be
considered as part of a future budget supplemental.
The General Government Collective Bargaining Unit contract expires December 31,
2024. Negotiations for a new contract are in process at this time.
With this collective bargaining agreement in place, wage rates for 2025 are contracted to
increase 3.6% for both General Government and non-represented City staff. Due to
current labor market conditions and higher than normal inflationary times, salary
increases for staff are above average. All increases are included in the budget estimates
for 2025.
A salary survey was conducted in 2023. A revised salary schedule for non-represented
staff has been put together with all positions placed in Grade Ranges based on current
market data. Salary adjustments have been considered to bring positions within market
and are included in the 2025 budget.
A full list of authorized positions along with the position classification salary schedule, and
more detailed budget assumptions is included in the Staffing and Compensation section
of the Proposed Budget Book.
Benefits offered to employees include medical, dental, vision, long-term disability, life
insurance and retirement. Medical costs for 2025 are forecast to increase by
approximately 7.3% for the AWC benefit plan (general government non-represented
employees), less the 2.0% WellCity discount. To achieve the discount, AWC employees
participate in a variety of wellness activities that promote a healthy lifestyle.
The Teamsters Local 589 benefit plan, which covers both the Police and General
Government union employees, is budgeted to increase 4.0% in 2025.
Retirement contributions for most employees (PERS) are funded at 9.11% of eligible
employee wages. The PERS contribution increased in September 2024. Police officers
are covered by the LEOFF retirement system at a rate of 5.32% of eligible employee
wages. This participation rate is mandated by the Washington State Retirement System.
Employees also have the choice of enrolling in either the MissionSquare (formerly ICMA)
or Washington State deferred compensation program which is not employer funded.
The 2024 budget includes 4 Seasonal Staff for Parks and Streets maintenance.
Seasonal staff are typically hired between May and October and are budgeted at an
equivalent to 0.50 FTE each. Seasonal staff support spring and summer clean-up efforts
in parks and maintain streets right of way.
Washington State minimum wage increases in 2025 to $16.66 per hour, which is a $.38
per hour, or 2.35%, increase. This increase impacts seasonal wage rates and entry level
library staff. Additionally, the increase impacts higher level position through wage
compression. Wage compression occurs when pay adjustments regardless of

experience, skills or seniority increase the base wage and bring those wages closer to
the wages of more senior, experienced, skilled positions. The Director of People &
Performance will continue to monitor the impact of minimum wage adjustments on all City
positions.
2024 CAPITAL PROJECTS
The proposed 2024 budget has a variety of capital projects that add new infrastructure
investment and improve aging infrastructure. A breakdown of planned projects is listed in
the Capital Project section of the budget.

CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND, WASHINGTON
STAFFING AND COMPENSATION SUMMARY
The City of Port Townsend employs approximately 116 individuals. City employees are
made up of four groups:
General Government Bargaining Unit - employees who are members of the Local
Union No. 589 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters
Police Department Bargaining Unit - employees who are members of the Local
Union No. 589 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters
Non-represented management, library
belong to any bargaining group
Part-time and temporary/seasonal employees
Compensation and benefits for the two Teamsters bargaining units are negotiated and
certain wage changes, pay scales and benefit packages are administered based on the
contractual agreements.
The Police Collective Bargaining Unit contract expires December 31, 2026. The new
agreement has been ratified. 15.0 full-time officers and 1 provisional officer were included
in the budget. Recruitment for the police department has been effective. The department
anticipates full staffing in 2025. Retaining officers will continue to be a priority for Port
Townsend.
The General Collective Bargaining Unit ratified a 2-year contract. The new contract
expires December 31, 2026. Negotiations for a new agreement will be conducted in
2026.
Wage rates for 2025 are contracted to increase 3.6% for City staff. 2025 wage rates for
police officers will be determined with the new police contract. Due to current labor market
conditions and higher than normal inflationary times, salary increases for staff continue
to be above average. All known increases are included in the budget estimates for 2025.
Changes to Council members compensation were considered by an independent Salary
Commission during the fall of 2021. Council compensation had not been changed since
2007. Five commission members were appointed to determine whether and what
changes were necessary to monthly salaries for these elected officials. The
commissioners considered multiple points of data including cost of living changes during
the period of 2007-2021, salaries for officials in comparable communities, time required
to carry out the functions of the office, and salaries received by members of other
governing boards in Jefferson County. Individual interviews with council members were
conducted by the commission to better assess time commitment to the position. The
November 9, 2021. levels for
2024-5 are as follows:
Effective January 1, 2025 1,075
Effective January 1, 2025 each Councilm$725
Council salaries willincrease in 2026. In 2028 a subsequent Salary Commission
consideration is statutorily required.The binding decision can be challenged by
referendum within 30 days. The process is defined in Port Townsend Municipal Code
2.90 Salary Commission.
City Council Members are eligible to enroll in health benefits as part of the elected position
group.Coverage is dependent on group participation, with minimum requirements for the
group plan.
The 2025 budget reflects atotal of116.8 full time equivalents (FTEs) excludingCouncil
members and seasonal staff. This is an increase after consecutive years of reduction
(from 109.2 in 2018). The FTE countreflects an increase of7.9 positions compared to
the 2024 budgeted positions.
Additions include:
Community Services Director
Bsut!'!Dvmuvsf Coordinator
Water Maintenance Worker
StreetsOperator I
Parks Maintenance Worker
Despite these additions,s
fund these service levelsare a key priority of the outcomes from the Financial
Sustainability Task Force.
Details on the assumptions used in preparation of the 2025 salary and benefit budget,
including details regarding the proposed staff reductions, are provided below.
2025 Budget Assumptions for General Government Agreement
The General Government Agreement covers Public Works, Development Services,
Finance, Police Administration, and some part-time library employees. The General
Government Collective Bargaining Unit contract expires December 31, 2024.
Negotiations are in progress for a new contract. The General Government Agreement
with the Teamsters defines the pay scales, seniority rates and annual inflationary
adjustments to salaries for this group of employees. 2025 budget assumptions do not
include an hourly rate increase; any wage rate increases will be determined when a new
agreement is ratified, and the costs will be brought back to Council in a 2025 budget
supplemental.
Full time employees receive a full benefit package that includes health, life, dental and
retirement benefits. The current contract calls for employees in this group to contribute
10% of the total cost of the medical benefit costs for themselves and any covered
dependents, which is how the City budgeted these costs. Teamster benefit rates are
budgeted to increase 4.0% in 2025.
2025 Budget Assumptions for Police Agreement
The Police Agreement with the Teamsters defines the pay scales, compensated hours,
seniority rates and cost of living adjustments to salaries for police officers and sergeants.
The Police Collective Bargaining Unit contract expires December 31, 2026. The new
contract has been ratified.
2025 Budget assumptions include a contracted hourly rate increase of 3.6%. Full-time
employees receive a full benefit package that includes health, life, dental and retirement
benefits. Employees contribute 10% of the medical benefit costs for themselves and any
covered dependents. Teamster benefit rates are budgeted to increase 4.0% in 2025.
2024 Budget Assumptions for Non-represented employees
The non-represented employee group is made up of management and professional level
staff, non-union part-time library staff, and confidential/administrative staff. This group has
no formal contractual agreement and benefit and wage increases have historically been
dictated by performance and availability of budget dollars. Full time employees receive a
full benefit package that includes health, life, dental and retirement benefits. Employees
contribute 15% of the total cost of these benefits for themselves and any covered
dependents. Medical benefit rates are forecasted to increase 7.3% which is partially offset
by a 2.0% discount for WellCity designation. Employees may choose from two dental
plans. The dental premiums are budgeted for no increases in 2025. There are no
increases forecasted for vision benefit rates.
review of both represented and non-represented was completed in 2023. Based on the
results of the market study, a new grade-based system has been put in place for non-
represented employees. In addition, the compensation policy has been updated and
ies. The represented positions included in the
salary survey are being reviewed as part of contract negotiations in 2024.
The 2025 budget does not include a wage adjustment for non-represented employees,
this will be brought back to council as a supplemental after the General Government
Agreement has been ratified.
Minimum Wage - For 2025, the minimum wage will increase $.38 or 2.35% to $16.66 per
hour. This increase impacts library and seasonal wage rates. Additionally, the increase
begins to impact higher level position through wage compression. Wage compression
occurs when pay adjustments regardless of experience, skills or seniority increase the
base wage and bring those wages closer to the wages of more senior, experienced,
skilled positions. The Director of People & Performance will continue to monitor the
impact of minimum wage adjustments on all City positions.
Recruiting Staff, Succession Planning and Best Practices
The City continues to strive to foster a healthy City organization through investing in
leadership development and training and adopting and implementing best employment
practices.
In 2022, the City Manager restructured the Human Resources Department by hiring a
Director of People & Performance. This position reports directly to the City Manager and
is is supported by a full time
Human Resource Specialist/Generalist, a part time Human Resource Assistant as well
as support from the Payroll Administrator. The Director will continue to focus on
recruitment, retention, and development of City staff. Development of career pathing and
City-wide training opportunities for growth will enhance the C
employees and set standards for a high-performance culture. The 2025 budget adds
resources for staff training and education.
A total of 116.8 positions are included in the budget for 2025, not including Council
members, seasonal workers, volunteer hours or accrued leave payouts. Seasonal
workers consist of 2.0 FTEs or 4 short term employees to assist with Streets and Parks
operations. Volunteer hours amount to approximately 3.36 FTEs and assist with police
operations, library operations, and parks maintenance.

IV. FUND STRUCUTURE & FUND RESERVE GUIDELINES
fund basis. Funds are accounting entities used to record revenues and
expenditures. By definition, balanced funds mean that total revenues equal total
expenditures. The budgeted funds are grouped into categories: General, Special
Revenue, Debt Service, Capital Projects, Enterprise, and Internal Service.
The following provides a brief description of the fund types and reserve guidelines
for each fund. The numbers in parentheses represent the BARS manual fund
series numbering scheme.
GENERAL FUND (010) -- This is the primary operating fund or current expense
fund of the City.
the budget shall provide for an anticipated undesignated fund balance between
8% and 15% of estimated annual revenues for general government fund types.
The fund balance shall be exclusive of all reserves not anticipated to be readily
available for use in emergencies and contingencies. Should the fund balance fall
below 8% of revenues, a plan for expenditure reductions and/or revenue
increases shall be submitted by the City Manager to the Council. If, at the end of
a fiscal year, the fund balance falls below 8%, then the City shall rebuild the
balance within a period not to exceed three fiscal years.
GENERAL FUND COUNCIL RESERVE (Included in the General Fund) In
addition to the Fund balance and the Contingency Fund, the budget for the
approximately
1% of estimated operating revenues in the General Fund (010). Only the General
. The Council Reserve is established to
provide for non-recurring community requests or unanticipated needs deemed
necessary by Council. The Council Reserve shall be suspended during times of
significant economic downturn, especially during years when the General Fund

ending fund balance falls below 5%. The Council Reserve is a budgeted
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS (101-199) -- These funds account for revenues
derived from special taxes, grants or other restricted sources designed to finance
particular activities. Apart from any unrestricted General Fund contributions to a
Special Revenue Fund, the unexpended ending fund balances carry over year to
year and should retain enough revenue to cover operating cash flow and
anticipated major project or program obligations of the fund.
Of these funds, the Street, Library, and Community Services funds are of an
operations nature. The Street and Community Services Funds reserve balance
will be equivalent to 2-3% of fund expenditures. The Library Fund reserve is set
at 5-8% of Library property tax revenue.
Other Special Revenue Funds are more cyclical, or project related and only need
retained ending fund balances or transfers in to cover anticipated obligations:
Drug Enforcement, Lodging Tax, Fire/EMS, Affordable Housing, and CDBG
Grants.
CONTINGENCY (102)
Contingency Fund is more of a strategic reserve to meet emergency conditions
or to help maintain essential services during periods of economic downturn. Each
fund should retain enough in its own Ending Fund Balance Reserves to offset
minor non-recurring or unanticipated expenses during the budget year.
Contingency Fund is intended for major events and should be maintained at no
less than 2% of the General Fund annual operating revenues. If the contingency
falls below 2% of operating revenue, the City will initiate a plan that will restore
the balance to the required level over a three-year period.
In addition to the required contingency reserves, additional funding will be added
to create a Rainy-Day Fund. This is meant to buffer against unanticipated
economic downturns and natural disasters. The Rainy-Day Fund will build to
between 5% - 10% of General Fund annual operating revenues.
The Rainy-Day Fund will be seeded through the following:
Unrestricted one-time revenues from projects with assessed value at over
$3m
Contributions from the General Fund Reserve
Contributions from the vacancy rate (see Vacancy Rate Policy)
DEBT SERVICES FUND (200) These funds are used to pay general
government debt. The City shall retain or transfer in funds sufficient to cover the
Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines
Adopted December 4, 2023
Page 8 of 22
annual debt service obligations and
with bond covenants or other loan restrictions.
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS (300) These funds are established for the
acquisition or construction of general government (non-utility) capital
improvements. Ending Fund Balance Reserves should be maintained at levels
sufficient to cover anticipated annual expenditures with transfers in from
supporting funds (General, REET, etc.) to cover project needs.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS (400) These funds are the proprietary or -
funds for operations providing services to the general public supported primarily
The
Ending Fund Balances of these funds should be equal to or greater than 60 days
of operating expenditures and any additional amounts needed to build towards
future project cash or debt payment needs. To the extent that the reserved Fund
Balance and operating cash flow are not adequate to fund needed utility system
improvements, additional rate increases or surcharges may be adopted by
Council. Included in the Enterprise funds are Debt Service Reserve Funds, Utility
Capital Project Funds and System Development Fund.
Revenue bonds may be issued by the Enterprise Funds. Investors may require
additional lending requirements or covenants. The ending fund balance of the
Enterprise Funds should include a reserve to cover any additional covenant
requirements.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS (500) Thes-
funds for operations providing services to other City departments (funds) on
a direct cost-reimbursement basis (e.g. Equipment Rental including Information
Technology services and equipment and Facilities, Public Works Administration
and internal Engineering Services). Fund balances should break even, after set
aside of funds for future capital equipment replacements.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS (600) These funds account for assets held by the City as
a trustee or as an agent on behalf of others. Ending Fund Balances and any
transfers in should be maintained consistent with fund restrictions.
ENDING FUND BALANCE, RESERVES, CONTINGENCY SUMMARY
The following is a summary of the reserves guidelines. Guidelines will be reviewed
annually as a part of the Budget process:
General Fund 8-15% of operating revenue
Library 5-8% of property tax
Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines
Adopted December 4, 2023
Page 9 of 22
Street 2-3% of expenditures
Community Services 2-3% of expenditures
Other Special Revenue Funds Sufficient to meet obligations
Contingency . No less than 2% of operating
revenue
Debt Service Sufficient to meet obligations
General Capital Sufficient to meet obligations
Enterprise Funds 60 days of operating
expenditures
System Development Charges Fund Sufficient to meet obligations
(Enterprise)
Internal Service Sufficient to meet obligations
Fiduciary Funds Sufficient to meet obligations
The undesignated General Fund Balance (the balance not tied to a known project)
will be maintained at a level that provides the City with sufficient working capital
and a comfortable margin of safety to address emergencies and unexpected
declines in revenue without borrowing. The City should not use the undesignated
General Fund Balance to finance recurring operating expenditures. Annual
General Fund revenues should be equal to or greater than annual regular
operating expenditures.
Reserves above the target can be used for new expenditures, with emphasis
placed on one-time uses that achieve future operating cost reductions.
General Fund revenues will be used for general government, street and
community service programs only. General Fund revenue for other purposes will
require approval by the City Council.
General Fund revenues will not be used to subsidize utility or enterprise
operations, which will be self-supporting through user rates.
V. REVENUE POLICIES
General Revenue Policies - The City will strive to maintain a diversified and
stable revenue system to shelter the government from short-run fluctuations in
any one revenue source and ensure its ability to provide ongoing service.
Restricted revenue shall only be used for purposes legally permissible and in a
fiscally responsible manner. Programs and services funded by restricted revenue
will be clearly designated as such.
One-time revenues shall support one-time expenditures.
County, state or federal funding will be used to finance only those capital
improvements that are consistent with the capital improvement plan and local
Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines
Adopted December 4, 2023
Page 10 of 22
government priorities, and whose operation and maintenance costs have been
included in operating budget forecasts.
Enterprise Fund Revenue Policies Enterprise funds will be operated in a
manner that maintains a minimum ending fund balance that is not less than 60
days of operating expenditures.
Utilities will be self-supporting through user rates and charges.
Utility user charges for each of the City utilities will be based on cost of service
(i.e., set to full support the total direct, indirect, and capital costs) and established
so that the operating revenues of each utility are at least equal to its operating
expenditures and annual debt service obligations. The user rates of a utility shall
The Utility will conduct a study of its user rates no less than every 5 years to
ensure rates are adequate to fund operations and meet future needs.
Fund balances may be used to temporarily offset rate increases, after sufficient
funds have been accumulated for identified capital improvement needs or
alternative funding for projects has been secured.
Fees and Charges (Non-Utility) All fees for licenses, permits, fines, and other
attendant service. Average cost or actual cost methodology may be used. These
fees will be reviewed periodically and will be incorporated into the budget process
for possible action by Council.
Fees and charges for services will generally be set to recover the actual cost of
service delivery. Fees that are set lower than the cost-of-service delivery will be
reviewed at least every other year to determine if those fees are still appropriate
based on City finances and the community needs.
Where direct beneficiaries of a city program or services can be identified, fees will
be established to recover the costs of that program or service. Fees will also be
set in a manner that protects taxpayers from subsidizing special service users. A
fee shall be charged for any service that benefits limited interests within the
community, except for human needs type services to persons with limited ability
to pay.
Rental fees will be established to recover full cost of use of the property or facility.
Fees related to the rental of City properties may be waived only through approval
of the City Manager. The waiver of fees will only be provided if the purpose of
the rental or its associated event will benefit the community at large.
Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines
Adopted December 4, 2023
Page 11 of 22
Some services provide greater benefit to the community. When a greater
community benefit is identified, the Council may choose to subsidize, either whole
or in part, such services.
Park Fees
Through a volunteer recruitment program, the Parks will seek to minimize the
subsidy required for partial and minimum fee support programs.
Solicitation of funds through donations, fund raising events, non-traditional
sources, and various other modes will be encouraged by the City through its park
user groups. Funds collected for any special purpose shall be earmarked for that
purpose.
VI. OVERHEAD COST RECOVERY (COST ALLOCATION)
As provided in the State Aallocation is a method
to determine and assign the cost of central services to the internal-government
users of those services. Cost allocation thereby enables local governments to
more accurately account for the complete cost of the services it provides to the
public Included in cost
allocation are direct costs (not otherwise charged to budget units) and indirect
costs. Direct Costs are those costs that can be specifically identified with a
particular service or unit if not already charged directly (e.g. facilities, janitorial,
etc.) Indirect Costs are costs incurred for common or joint purposes, benefiting
more than one unit, not readily assignable to a specific unit (e.g., legal, human
resources, administration, clerk, etc.).
direct charging a cost to a unit, so the City is using the most appropriate method
available for doing so. However, a cost allocation plan should be designed and
used to provide a reasonable, consistent and equitable means to allocate costs.
Inequitable charges result in questionable charges to grant, utilities and restricted
funds. For grant purposes, costs that benefit the public at large cannot be included
and should follow the OMB A-87 and/or 2CFR Part 200 guidelines.
The Council adopted a Cost Allocation Plan in Resolution 14-035 on June 25,
2014. In addition to using the overhead cost recovery model to assess the
appropriate amount of overhead to utilize for establishing user fees, the model will
be used to apply charges to Departments/Funds for City-wide overhead indirect
cost recovery where allowed (Council, City Manager, City Clerk, City Attorney and
Finance).
Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines
Adopted December 4, 2023
Page 12 of 22
The Council may authorize waiver of the overhead cost-recovery in all or part if
Council determines doing so will provide a general benefit to the citizens,
taxpayers, or utility rate payer. If a portion of the overhead cost-recovery is
waived, the General Fund must absorb these costs; waived costs may not be
absorbed by or reallocated to a Special Revenue or Enterprise Fund.
VII. GENERAL BUDGET POLICIES
Annual Budget
strategic plan, City Council goals and priorities, the needs of the community, and
federal and state laws.
In general, budgeted revenues must meet or exceed budgeted appropriations
each year. Current year operating expenses, maintenance costs and direct and
indirect costs of services provided will be covered by current year revenues. One-
time expenditures may be appropriated if one-time revenues or excess fund
balance (in excess of reserve requirements) are available.
The City budget appropriations are adopted at the fund level. Department heads
are responsible for preparing a budget that reflects realistic expense projections
and that adhere to guidelines within this policy document.

Equipment Replacement & Maintenance - Equipment replacement and
maintenance projections will be updated each year. Replacement of items with a
cost of 7,500 or more will be reviewed to time such expenditures at stable intervals
to preserve cash flow, when possible. Deferment of regular repair and
maintenance will not be used to balance the budget.
Training and Travel City employees or others on official City business or
training may be required to travel outside the City to conduct their business or
training for the City. City employees and officials will be reimbursed for reasonable
and customary expenses incurred in the conduct of their business for the City,

funding of
technology or process improvements that increase efficiency and effectiveness of
the delivery of City services should receive priority funding.
Budget Monitoring-
The Director of Finance and Technology Services will maintain a system for
monitoring the City's budget performance. This system will provide timely
information to Department Heads and the City Manager to ensure accuracy of
financial data and compliance with budget appropriations. The Council will receive
(at a minimum) quarterly reports regarding fund level revenues and expenditure

VIII. FINANCIAL PLANNING POLICIES
Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines
Adopted December 4, 2023
Page 14 of 22
Financial Forecast The City will develop a 5-year Financial Plan and Forecast
Model based on these financial policy guidelines and a best estimate of likely
revenues and expenditures. The model will be used to test the policies against
likely surrounding economic conditions. The model will be used for long-range
financial planning and is not a replacement for budgeting.
The
additional years of projected data. The City may elect to extend its planning
horizon further if conditions warrant.
The long-range financial plan operating revenues and expenses will include data
for the General Fund, Contingency Fund, Library Fund and Community Services
Fund. In addition to ongoing revenues and expenses, this forecast will utilize
assumptions that forecast general obligation debt and general fund contributions
to capital projects.
The long-range financial plan should present trends and projections in key
financial indicators, such as:
Revenues and expenses per capita including nominal and inflation adjusted data.
Staffing levels per 1,000 population: total and by major department.
Projected annual growth rates of revenues and expenses including personnel
costs.
The long-range financial plan may include comparisons to other cities and
benchmarks, recognizing that the data for comparable cities may reflect
differences in service delivery, financial structure and financial policies.
Comparative information may include:
Comparative revenues and expenses by major type to include:
o Total revenues and expenses per capita.
o Taxes per capita by tax source.
IX. ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The Water, Sewer and Stormwater utilities will be managed as self-supporting
business enterprises. Each utility will be managed in a professional manner in
accordance with applicable laws and standards. The long-range financial plan
model for each utility will analyze rate revenues, rate structure, operating costs,
replacement capital costs, debt service and other utility considerations (special
rate programs, paybacks, etc.). The City may utilize specialized rate consultants
to evaluate the rate and cost structure of the utilities.
X. CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM PLAN POLICIES
Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines
Adopted December 4, 2023
Page 15 of 22
General Policy Considerations - The major resources for funding capital
improvement and capital maintenance programs are revenues, grants and debt.
Financing planned capital replacement costs are an ongoing challenge. Preparing
for the challenges of infrastructure replacement or enhancements demands a
long-term view of replacement needs. In order to plan for these needs the City will
develop a six-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for adoption by Council as
required by the Growth Management Act. The CIP will be
consistent with the Capital Facilities Element Comprehensive Plan.
A capital project over $15,000 with a minimum of a five-year anticipated life will
be included in the CIP.
XI. DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
Long Term Debt - The City will manage its long-term debt in a manner designed
to utilize its credit to optimize City services while balancing overall debt levels and
annual debt service obligations. Long-term debt includes Bonds, Federal or State
loans (e.g. PWTF, FHA), or private placement financing. The City shall only use
long-term debt for capital projects that cannot be financed out of current revenues.
Annual debt payments should not exceed 15% of the total of annual General
Government operating revenues plus budgeted transfers from capital funding
sources. General Government Funds include the General Fund, Contingency
Fund and Special Revenue Funds.
Debt financing will generally be limited to one-time capital improvement projects
and only under the following circumstances:
Debt payments shall not extend beyond the estimated useful life of the project
being financed. The City shall keep the average maturity of general obligations
bonds at or below 30 years, unless special circumstances arise warranting the
need to extend the debt schedule.
When project revenue or specific resources as identified will be sufficient to
service the debt;
When projects greater than $100,000 cannot be financed on a pay-as-you-go
basis from anticipated cash flows.
Debt financing will not be considered appropriate for:
Current operating and maintenance expenses (except for issuing short-term
instruments such as revenue anticipation notes or tax anticipation notes); and any
recurring purpose (except as indicated above).
Grant match less than $100,000 where funding is anticipated from on-going cash
flow or reserve balances.
Projects less than $100,000 where funding is anticipated on a pay-as-you-go
basis from anticipated cash flows or reserve balances.
Comprehensive Financial Management Policy Guidelines
Adopted December 4, 2023
Page 16 of 22
Tax anticipation debt will be retired annually, and bond anticipation notes will be
retired within six months of the completion of the project. Short-term debt
outstanding at the end of the year will not exceed 5% of net operating revenue
(including tax anticipation notes but excluding bond anticipation notes.)
-voted) General Obligation (LTGO) Debt Capacity per
State Law is 1.5% of total assessed value. The City should seek to retain 5-10%
of its LTGO Debt Capacity for unforeseeable catastrophic emergencies.

Lines of Credit with major financial institutions
Interfund Loans
Short Term Debt Transfers and Interfund Loans General Fund transfers to
other funds are intended as payments for the support of specific programs or
services. Amounts not needed to support such specific program or service
expenses will remain in For example, the
General Fund may make transfers to the Debt Fund to fund annual debt service
payments or to the Community Services Fund to support parks or service
programs.
Interfund loans are temporary in nature. The requirements for interfund loans are
as follows:
The Council must approve all interfund loans by resolution. The resolution will
include a planned schedule of repayment of the loan principal as well as setting a
reasonable rate of interest to be paid to the lending fund.
The borrowing fund must reasonably be able to anticipate sufficient revenue to
repay the principal and interest payments as required by the authorizing
resolution.
were otherwise invested, such as the LGIP (Local Government Investment Pool)
rate or a bank CD rate for a similar term; not higher than the external rate available
to the municipality.
Interest is not required in the following circumstances:
o If the borrowing fund has no independent source of revenue other than the
lending fund;
o The lending fund is the General Fund, which, being unrestricted, can
provide interest free loans to other funds.
The term of the interfund loan will not exceed three years. Any interfund loans that
are not repaid within three years will be

which are legally permitted to support one another through appropriations,
transfers, advances, etc.)
For short-term cash deficits in non-General Fund operating funds during the
course of the year, City interfund loans are preferable to outside short-term or
private sector lines of credit.
XII. PURCHASING POLICY
Purchases of goods, services and capital items will be made consistent with the
Any
purchases or contracts above those authority limits must be authorized in
advance by City Council (some exceptions for public emergencies will apply). The
City Manager may delegate spending authority (within his/her limits) to
Department Heads to facilitate operating efficiency.
The City Manager and Department Heads purchase goods and services at a
reasonable cost, using an open, fairly documented and competitive process
whenever reasonable and possible. The Director of Finance & Technology
Services (Finance Director) is charged with developing administrative/operating
procedures to implement sound purchasing policies. These procedures will be
based on guidelines provided in State Law and All
purchases made by the City will ultimately be approved by the Council through
the voucher approval process.
XIII. ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER POLICY
Electronic payment methods are a safe and efficient method to process
disbursements and receive payments for City business. City policy is to establish
the best methods to process payments to employees and vendors. In addition,
City policy is to establish the best methods to receive payments from customers
and vendors. Electronic payment methods may include Electronic Funds Transfer
(EFTs), Automated Clearing House (ACH), Wire Transfers, credit card and debit
card.
The Director of Finance & Technology Services (Finance Director) will maintain
administrative/operating procedures to manage sound electronic fund transfer
policies and procedures.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Background:
The City of Port Townsend is at the final stage of completing the General Sewer Plan
update. The Plan has been updated in its entirety given it has been over 20 years since
the last update.
On May 6, 2024, the City Council approved the draft plan and supported staff in the
submittal of the plan to the Department of Ecology for review. A detailed description of
the plan was provided at that meeting and is available as reference material at
https://cityofpt.granicus.com/GeneratedAgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&clip_id=3141.
th
The following is an excerpt from the May 6 agenda report:
The City’s sewerage system has developed from the City’s initial development in the 1800’s.
Sanitation was initially developed for public health and control of disease. In the last 70 years, a
focus on environmental protection has been added to the equation. Now the City operates a
sewer system that accomplishes both public health. The City is nearing completion of the update
to the General Sewer Plan. Based on much review of the plan over the last couple of years, this
action item is to adopt the plan and forward to the Department of Ecology for final review.
The outdated 2000 general sewer plan was well overdue for an updated in order to prioritize
investments in the City’s extensive sewerage system while planning for the next 20 years. The
City Council authorized a contract with RH2 Engineering on February 16, 2021, to begin the
update process, essentially creating a new General Sewer Plan. While this process has taken
some time, it has allowed for a thorough analysis including changing conditions such as the
issuance of the Puget Sound Nutrient General Permit. Thus, the contract was expanded to
include analysis of the Wastewater Treatment Plant associated 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. On August 14, 2023 staff and RH2 Engineering provided a comprehensive review of the
th
General Sewer Plan findings. On January 8 at the City Council workshop, extensive review of
the final draft plan was provided with the help of RH2 Engineering and Financial Solutions
Consulting Group for discussion and feedback. The workshop also provided an opportunity to
look at sewer rate impacts since the plan projects the cost of operating a sewer system on behalf
of the residents, businesses, and visitors of Port Townsend. Finally, rate ordinances were
thth
considered at the February 5 Council Business meeting, the February 12workshop, and the
th
Council Business Meeting. Rates were adopted to support the General Sewer Plan
February 20
along with a low-income discount program and a rate structure adjustments as analyzed and
prepared by Financial Solutions Consulting Group. The rates are effective April 1, 2024 and
include increases through the next 5 years to pay for the improvements and operations of the
sewer system. For background, please refer to the City Council archives at this web address
https://cityofpt.us/citycouncil/page/agendasminutesvideos. Additionally, information is available
on the City’s engagePT website at https://cityofpt.us/engagept/page/general-sewer-plan along
with a video overview of the City’s sewer system at
https://www.youtube.com/@CityofPortTownsend/videos.
Following the May 6, 2024 meeting, the draft plan was submitted to the Department of
Ecology. The Department responded with the following minor comments:
1. In Table 1-2, DMR is an acronym for “Discharge Monitoring Report”.
2. In Chapter 2 section WWTF Puget Sound Nutrient General Permit, please
include reference to Permit No. WAG994538.
3. Please include a distinct Topography Map within the body of the General Sewer
Plan. Figure 2-2 does show topography, yet it is difficult to discern the terrain. It
would be helpful if Figure 3 from the 2019 Stormwater Management Plan was
inserted within the GSP as well.
4. The SEPA plan would need to be submitted prior to approval of the GSP.
On October 8, 2024, a SEPA Determination of Non-significance for a non-project action
of adoption of the General Sewer Plan was published. No comments were received.
SEPA documentation is included in Appendix
The only other change to the General Sewer Plan since the May 6, 2024 draft is the
inclusion of updated standard details in Appendix G. These details are a work in
progress and will be part of the Engineering Design Standards Update. One key point
is that this General Sewer Plan acknowledges limited use of low pressure sewer
systems. The Department of Ecology generally discourages low pressure sewer
systems; however, in limited situations they may serve as the only reasonable way to
provide sewer service to properties where gravity mains are not feasible.
Based on the information provided staff recommends City Council confirm the May 6,
2024 approval and adopt the General Sewer Plan by ordinance.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Caswell-Brown Village (CBV) serves as a cornerstone for addressing
homelessness and housing insecurity in our community. Owned by the County and
operated by the Olympic Peninsula Community Action Programs (OlyCAP), CBV
provides essential emergency shelter, transitional housing, and supportive services for
individuals facing homelessness. The facility is approved by Jefferson County to
operate a 50-bed emergency shelter and 40-lot housing park consisting of safe RV
parking and tiny shelters and is central to regional efforts to improve housing security.
The County’s proposal to expand the City’s Urban Growth Area (UGA) to include CBV
would enable vital infrastructure connections to the City’s sewer system, further
supporting CBV’s capacity to meet these pressing needs.
Recent amendments to the Growth Management Act (GMA) allow for urban service
extensions to support public-purpose uses in urban areas, such as CBV. The City’s
endorsement of this expansion is critical to sustain CBV’s services, meet regional
housing goals,and position the project to apply for key infrastructure funding, such as
the Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP) grant. Eligibility for the CHIP
grant depends on the site being located within a UGA. The location of the UGA
boundary for Port Townsend has never been changed since adoption of GMA. The
UGA boundary is a County actionper GMA andinformed byCountywide Planning
Policy.
The letter of support seeks Council’s endorsement of the UGA boundary expansion.
The letter notes the City’s process to adopt key changes in its Capital Improvement
Plan and General Sewer Plan that support sewer extension and connection to the
proposed parcels. The process culminates in Board of County Commissioner decision
on the County’s 2024 Comprehensive Plan annual amendments. The City will docket
any map changescoincident with the 2025 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update.
The letter of support underscores the City’s commitment to partnership on housing
issues, reinforces intergovernmental collaboration, and strengthens the case for
securing infrastructure funding critical to CBV’s long-term operations.The UGA
expansion will meet a regional community need for emergency shelter, align with GMA,
UGA, and CWPP policies, serve infrastructure efficiently while reducing the impact that
Large Onsite Septic Systems have on the environment, and support funding for state
funding.

Why is there a Supplement? Changes and Additions to the September 4, 2024 Comprehensive
Plan Amendment Docket—Combined Staff Report and SEPA Addendum (“the Staff Report”)
The Staff Reportwas published on September 4, 2024. The Staff Report evaluated four proposed
amendmentsto the development regulationson the 2024 Amendment Cycle docketthat are
listed below:
Proposed Amendment 1: Irondale and Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area (“PHUGA”) UDC
Amendments for Urban Development
Proposed Amendment 2: UGA Comprehensive Plan & UDC Amendments to Amend the
Port Townsend Urban Growth Area, Swapping Farm Land with Caswell-Brown Village and
Adjacent Properties
Proposed Amendment 3: 2024 Annual Amendment Cycle, Planning Commission UDC
Rural Housing Amendments Carried Forward from 2023
Proposed Amendment 4: Review of Land Use and Zoning in the Jefferson County Airport
Essential Public Facility (“AEPF”)
Modifications to Proposed Amendments2 and 4 created a need for focused evaluation of those
changes and further documentation in this Supplemental Staff Recommendationswith
Environmental Analysis(“this Supplement”), dated October 10, 2024.
For a complete analysis of Proposed Amendment2 and Proposed Amendment4, the reader
needs to consider both the Staff Report and thisSupplement. Not all of the details withinthe
Staff Report arereproduced here. ThisSupplement strives to include additional information and
not restate what is in the Staff Report.However, the entire Cumulative Impacts Analysis table
and SEPA Non-Project question responses are included from the Staff Report,amended here as
needed. Proposed as findings for final Boardof County Commissioner’sactionalso are included
in thisSupplement.
Public Process Summary
A combined Notice of Intent to Amend (“NOIA”) the Comprehensive Plan and Unified
Development Code, Notice of SEPA Determination, and Notice of Public Hearing at the Planning
Commission was published on September 4, 2024. On September 18, 2024the Planning
Commission conducted a public hearing on theamendment docket. Only one public comment
was received: Eric Toews, Deputy Director, Port of Port Townsend, provided comment on
Proposal #4 and submitted testimony (ExhibitA) with recommended changes to the Port’s
proposal to clarify proposed text amendments and modify the Airport Overlay III expansion by
reducing the area. After the hearing was closed, the Planning Commission deliberated on the
3
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
docketed proposals, and arrived at a recommendationto accept the proposals, with the changes
summarized below.
Next steps in the public process areto forward the Staff Report and this Supplement, along with
the Planning Commission Recommendations, to the Board of County Commissioners.It is
anticipated this will occur in late October.
Summary of Changes
Proposed Amendment 2:There were optional paths to include Caswell-Brown Village (“CBV”) in
an Urban Growth Area (“UGA”) in order to provide appropriate services to the project: a UGA
land swap following recent GMA provisions of RCW 36.70A.110, or extension of the Port
Townsend UGA boundary. The UGA land swap did not come to fruition. This Supplement
provides additional findings supporting the extension of the Port Townsend UGA boundary.
Proposed Amendment 4:The proposed extent of Airport Essential Public Facility (“AEPF”) Overlay
III has beenreduced to include only property owned by the Port of Port Townsend, and some
text amendments that appear in the Staff Report have been supplementedor clarified.
Generally, the AEPF is expanded by the addition of two 6-acre parcels, and the AEPF Airport
Overlay IIIis expanded by those specific areas in the AEPF which are south of, and outside of, the
FAA building restriction line, and an approximately 6.5-acre area in the northeast of the AEPF.
The Airport Overlay III consists of parcels, or portions of parcels, currently owned by the Port of
Port Townsend within the AEPF. The requirement for a Binding Site Plan (“BSP”) process is
replaced with a requirement to meet all development regulations, recognizing that a BSP may
not be applicable in all circumstances. As the Airport Overlay III is further developed, a unifying
plan for the overlay area will be accomplished.The access from Four Corners Road, parcel APN
001334004, is not being added to the AEPF. Additional details are provided in the analysis below.
SEPA Threshold Determination
After review of the modifications of Proposed Amendments 2 and 4, Community Development
has determined that there will be no changes to the overall cumulative impact analysis for all of
the proposed amendments, and the SEPA threshold determination is unchanged from the Staff
Report: there will be no probable significant environmental impacts as a result of this action and
a threshold Determination of Nonsignificance, “DNS”, is supported.

INDIVIDUAL STAFF REPORTS: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS#2 AND #4
Modifications to Proposed Amendment 2: UGA Comprehensive Plan & UDC Amendments to
Amend the Port Townsend Urban Growth Area, Swapping Farm Land with Caswell-Brown
Village and Adjacent Properties.
New proposed description: ”Proposalto expand the Port Townsend Urban Growth Area (UGA)
boundary to include publicly-owned parcels for public purpose use, including the Caswell-
Brown Village for housing services.”
Applicant: Jefferson County
Assessor Parcel Numbers: 001162022, 001162001, 001162002, 001162003, 001162004,
001162015, 001161001, 001162017
Location: Mill Road and SR 20
Background:The construction of an emergency shelter and permanent support housing is a
verified community need. It remains one of the biggest issues facing our community, as the
current emergency shelter only has a limited time left in its contract with the American Legion
in Port Townsend. The shelter initially only provided housing during inclement weather. In
2007, the Jefferson County Board ofCounty Commissioners adopted an Emergency Resolution
(Resolution 35-17) in response to the county’s housing emergency and need for public facilities,
providing both supportive and low-cost housing for persons who are unsheltered, extremely
low income and/or experiencing disabilities. The shelter’s management eventually was shifted
to Olympic Peninsula Community Action Programs (“OlyCAP”), and also expanded to year-
round operation.
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the housing emergency issues. During this period,
unsheltered individuals began camping at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. With the eviction
moratorium ending in November 2021, the County Commissioners began crisis planning by
identifying locations within the county and near services to house those individuals who were
experiencing homelessness. Three sites were reviewed, including the parcels on Mill Road. With
American Rescue Plan funding, the County purchased the Mill Road site and several other
contiguous parcels to the south as a unit. OlyCAP leases a site from the county, offering the local
unhoused population a temporary place to stay while working to find permanent housing.
OlyCAP named the new location the Caswell-Brown Village, in remembrance of two people who
died while experiencing lack of shelter or supportive services.
The Caswell-Brown Village (“CBV”) on Mill Road refers to the combined 50-bed emergency
shelter with permanent supportive housing and a 40-lot park consisting primarily of recreational
vehicles and tiny shelters to provide housing for persons experiencing housing insecurity. The
County approved the project under a Type III conditional use permit (ZON2022-00152) for a
public purpose facility. The local community supports the proposal and its location, as evident by
no one submitted testimony, facts, or evidence that would serve as a basis to deny the proposal.
7
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
The CBV currently has 50 tiny shelters available to unhoused people, and OlyCAP is working to
build a permanent support housing on site. It will be a continuum of care housing facility
operated by OlyCAPon a long-term lease with the County.
Staff Comment:Jefferson County is collaborating with the City of Port Townsend on a
modification to the Port Townsend UGA, something that has not happened since the original
establishment of the UGA boundary (coincident with the City of Port Townsend’s municipal
boundary) in the years following the adoption of GMA. The Port Townsend UGA boundary would
shift to include CBV and adjacent publicly-owned parcels. The total expansion would include eight
parcels for a combined acreage of 32.72 acres. The zoning would change from Rural Residential
(RR 1:20 and RR 1:5) to UGA Public. The area proposed to be included within the Port Townsend
UGA is characterized by urban growth. Either the subject parcels themselves already contain
urban-style development or they are located in close proximity to urban development, and by
either measure, the subject area is appropriate for urban growth. The growth pattern on or near
these lands makes the parcels incompatible with the primary use of land for the production of
food, other agricultural products, or fiber, or the extraction of mineral resources, rural uses, rural
development, and natural resource lands designated pursuant to RCW36.70A.170. The parcels
are located in close proximity to urban services, including but not limited to the City of Port
Townsend’s regional stormwater system, sanitary sewer system, domestic water system, street
cleaning services, fire and police protection services, public transit services, healthcare and
medical services, and other public utilities associated with urban areas and normally not
associated with rural areas.

Housing Element:The County and the City of Port Townsendhave been working on solutions for
people experiencing homelessness, including emergency housing and transitional housing.CBV
would be in the unincorporated UGA (with prospective annexation in the future). Itis now the
onlycontinuum of carefacility for housing of this type in the immediate area.There are no other
suitable alternative sites within the existing City of Port Townsend’slimitsto accommodate a
similar facility.The level of housing services that can be developed at CBVare limited by land
area and on-site septic requirements.The City of Port Townsendhas the capability to provide
sanitary sewer service to CBVif it were located in the UGA and have the proper infrastructure
upgrade \[RCW 36.70A.110(4)\].
Urban Growth Areas and Housing Elements are both partsof the GMA and are used to plan for
housing and growth.UGAs are intended to encourage urban growth.Housing elements consider
the needs of all economic segments of the community, including low, moderate, very low, and
extremely low-income households. They also consider existing housing stock and the need for a
variety of housing types and densities. The GMA was amended in 2021 to require that designated
cities also identify the capacity and actions needed to accommodate future housing growth
within four household income categories (based on U.S. Housing and Urban Development
Department guidelines using Average Median Income, or AMI): moderate (80-95% AMI), low (50-
80% AMI), very low (30-50%), and extremely low (<30 AMI).In 2024, the GMA was amended to
allow additional conditions under which UGAs may be revised.Counties are responsible for
designating, expanding, and reducing UGA boundaries, in consultation with the cities in their
determinations.
In 2024, Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend completed a joint housing allocation
usingMethod C of the model provided by the State Department of Commerce, called the Housing
for all Planning Tool(“HAPT”).Incorporating CBV into the Port TownsendUGA boundary
addresses recentlegislation that amended GMA to require local governments, when completing
the periodic update of comprehensive plans, to accommodate housing affordable to all economic
segments of the population, reduce displacement risk,and undo identified racially disparate
impacts.
Local communities must design UGAs to include "areas and densities sufficient to permit the
urban growth that is projected to occur in the county or city for the succeeding twenty-year
period” \[RCW 36.70A.110(2) and WAC 365-196-310\].UGAs must also be designed so that urban
services can be provided during the 20-year planning horizon.
Although the existing Port Townsend UGA mayhave sufficientlandto accommodate the
projected allocated population growth in twentyyears, there is no other suitable land to
accommodate housing type similar toCBV. The CBV parcel is inside an existing water service area.
In order for the City of Port Townsendto provide sewer service, expanding the Port Townsend
UGA boundary to include CBV isa must. The proposal is intended to enable Jefferson County and
the City of Port Townsend to address the Housing goal inthe GMA through their respective
10
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
comprehensive plan housing elements.There will be adequate public facilities to serve CBV
during the planning period.
Infrastructure Need:TheCity of Port Townsend is progressing to complete the City of Port
Townsend’s General Sewer Plan(“GSP”)updatein 2025.The plan update provides planning level
analysis of the City of Port Townsend’s Wastewater Treatment Plant, Biosolids Facility, and sewer
collection system. The GSP addresses changes in regulations, existing infrastructure condition
and upgrade needs, as well as growth consistent with the GMA and the 2016 adopted City of Port
TownsendComprehensive Plan. The City of Port Townsendis currently in the process of updating
the City of Port Townsend’s Comprehensive Plan scheduled for 2025 adoption. The updated GSP
includes a projected capital investmentsanalysis and operational projection necessary for the
next 20 years. An updated rate study was developed to pay for the infrastructure investment
identified in the capital analysis to ensure adequate funds to operate the sewer system.The City
of Port TownsendCouncil adopted the 2024 General Sewer Plan via Resolution 24-07 on May 6,
2024. The GSP is under review by the Washington State Departmentof Ecology. Following
Ecology’s review and approval, the final adoption will be incorporated into the City of Port
Townsend’s 2025 periodic update.
The City ofPort Townsend’slimits coincide with the Port Townsend UGAboundary, and
encompass an area of approximately 7.4 square miles. Approximately 50 percent of the land
within the City of Port Townsend’s future wastewater service area is designated for residential
use, while the remaining land is designated for other uses such as open space/parks, commercial
use, public/infrastructure use, and other land uses. Most significantly, the City of Port Townsend
envisions a new neighborhood to CBV’s immediate north, the Evans Vista. Future plans include a
new lift station on Mill Road (i.e., Mill site) for the proposed Evans Vista neighborhood. Currently
in the preliminary design and fiscal analysis phase, the proposed 14.4-acre Evans Vista campus is
envisioned to include 100 to 150 affordable, workforce and mixed-income housing units.The
initial findings of the GSPand the Capital Improvement Plan(“CIP”)assumed that most of the
new growth will occur at or near the Mill site. The CIP includes a lift station to allow development
of the Mill site and conveyance for the new lift station’s discharge throughout the existing
collection system.All of the discharge from this station will flow by gravity to the wastewater
treatment facility posing no new loads to existing lift stations.The Mill site and all major lift
stations will be relatively new and/or rehabilitated in the 2020s, and no additional capacity or
significant upgrades will be needed during the 20-year planning horizon.
Jefferson County Public Utility District No. 1(“PUD”)is working to address power capacity and
reliability issue in the Port Townsend area.PUDbelievesthe solution to these issues is to build
another electrical sub-station that are adjacent to existing PUD power lines.In looking for suitable
location,thePUD identified two county-owned parcels, which were purchased as a unit when
establishing CBV at its current location.PUD’s General Managerrecentlyaddressed the County
Commissioners in a Board meeting,wherein the Board agreed to sell the two parcels to the PUD.
The County and the PUD are currently working on documentation to effectuate the sale.
11
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
One of the innovations of the GMA is the emphasis it places on the need to match public
infrastructure priorities with the land uses designated on thefuture land use map.The
comprehensive nature of planning under the GMA establishes the comprehensive plan as the
blueprint for fitting the jurisdiction’s vision, land use, and service priorities together in a more
efficient and effective way.
The capital infrastructure required to serve therevised Port Townsend UGA boundary is
determined by conducting an inventory of existing facilities, establishing an adequate level of
service to accommodate the projected growthor housing needs, and measuring the difference
between what is available and what is needed.The 32.72acres to be included in the Port
Townsend UGA are all publicly-owned parcels. In addition to the CBV properties, also included
are the City of Port Townsend regional stormwater facility parcel located northeast of CBV and
the parcels to be owned by PUD for a new substation southeast of CBV. The re-designation of the
land use and zoning maps would eliminate the potential segmentation of the required urban
services and facilities, but also ensure that future connections/expansions of these services were
possible.
WAC, RCW and Countywide Planning Policies (“CPP”). WAC 365-196-310(3) includes guidelines
for selecting and allocating countywide population projections used to assist in the overall
analysis and designation of UGAs for cities, UGAs not associated with cities, and potential growth
in rural areas. Countywide population must be within the range of projections provided by OFM
for the 20-year planning period.
This section of the WAC also encourages consideration of other population-related factors
including: population forecasts from outside agencies or service providers; historical Census data;
the ability of counties and cities to meet the financial obligation to support the population
projection they plan for; the land supply and density of uses that will efficiently accommodate
the population projection; more frequent reviewand update of UGAs than the required
minimum review; and integration of employment forecasts from the selected population
projection that will be allocated to UGAs and the rural area.
AnUGA maybe amended to include areas that are located outside of a city if it is already
characterized by urban growth, or if an area is adjacent to the area already characterized by
urban growththatwill beserved by urban public facilities. UGAs should reflect a cooperative
effort amongst jurisdictions in the county toaccomplish the requirements of the act on a regional
basis, consistent with countywide planning policies.Services should be provided by cities in
UGAs. (WAC 365-196-310 (3))
UGA boundary expansion must be evaluated on a countywide basis. The location and size of any
revision isdetermined by the Countyafter a thorough analysis and a joint planning process with
the City of Port Townsend, and then only if deemed necessary and all state requirements have
been met\[RCW 36.70A.215(2) & WAC 365-196-310(4)(b)\]. This includes the direction that
12
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
“counties and cities should first consider the potential of increasing capacity of existing urban
areas through allowances for higher densities, or for additional provisions to encourage
redevelopment”(WAC 365-196-310(4)(b)(iv)).
In summary, appropriate location of new or expanded UGA boundary include:
UGA should have the density to accommodate urban growth, served by adequate public
facilities, discourage sprawl, and promote the goals of the act.
The county should attempt to define the urban growth area to accommodate the growth
plans of the City of Port Townsend.
New lands should be identified in the following priority:
o Existing incorporated areas
o Land that is already characterized by urban growth and has adequate facilities and
services
o Lands adjacent to the above, but not meeting those criteria
UGAs should not be expanded into designated agricultural, forest, or resource lands
unless no other option is available.
Counties should avoid expanding the UGA into areas with known critical areas extending
over a large area.
(WAC 365-196-310(4)(c)
Inclusion of the CBVand surrounding parcelswithin the Port Townsend UGA meetsstatutory
requirements.The addition of publicly-owned land is consistent with UGA designation criteria,
asthe addition does not alter the residential or employment capacity of the UGA. The recent
legislative changesrequire local jurisdictionsto consider accommodations for housing
projected population based on income categories.The joint effort by theCounty and City
leaders identified CBV as the proper location to establish the emergency shelter and permanent
supportfacility.CBV is currently zoned Rural Residential 1:20, which is inconsistent with the
current and projected public-purpose use of the county-owned property.Includingthe property
withinthe Port Townsend UGA would enable the provision ofhousing formore persons
experiencing housing insecurity.CBV will beserved by adequate roads, fire protection,
infrastructure, water, wastewater disposal, and stormwater control, among other elements.
Further, SEPA mitigation measures includedin the unchallenged MDNS threshold
determination in association with CBV’s housing facility approval(ZON2022-00152)are
expressly adopted as conditions of approval for thepermit. Five issue-specific plans,includinga
Transportation Plan,arerequired to be completed in consultation with first responders and
agencies (Cityof Port Townsend Police Department, Jefferson County Sherriff’s Office, East
Jefferson Fire Rescue). The County and City collaborated during the project review. Beyond
those as proposed and approved under the County’s conditional use permit, CBV is not
expected to experience any additional development for the foreseeable future.It will not
increase pressure to urbanize rural or natural resources lands
13
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
UnderRCW 36.70A.020, the GMA establishes a series of 15 goals that should act as the basis of
all comprehensive plans. The GMA specifically notes in the statute that the goals “are not listed
in order of priority and shall be used exclusively for the purpose of guiding the development of
comprehensive plans and development regulations.” As such, urban growth, housing, and public
facilities and servicesare equally important. The CBVlocationis suitable for urban growthas
characterized by existing development and infrastructure. Moreover, including CBVand
surrounding parcelsinto the Port Townsend UGA would qualify the jurisdictions to obtain
Connecting Housing to Infrastructure (“CHIP”) funding to expand/upgrade the City of Port
Townsend’s sewer infrastructureand enablethe City to provide sewer service to CBV.
The Countywide Planning Policies (“CPP”) were developed initially in the 1990s as prescribed by
RCW 36.70A.210 through a collaborative process between Jefferson County and the City of Port
Townsend. With subsequent population allocation exercises associated with GMA-mandated
periodic updates, a Growth Management Steering Committee (“GMSC”) was expanded over time
in order to achieve greater countywide representation. The2024 updateof these countywide
planning policies has been overseen bythe GMSC, and federally recognized Indian Tribes were
invited to participate in review of the countywide planning policies.
In a planningprocess over five meetings in 2024, the GMSC reached a recommendation for
updating the Countywide Planning Policiesfor the first time since the early 1990s, citing the local
need for the siting of special purpose housing such as emergency housing and shelters.
Permanent supportive housing to ensure such housing can be accommodated is identified as one
of the priorities. The inclusion of the CBV into the Port Townsend UGA would maximize the
funding opportunity in order to have the proper infrastructure toconnect to the City of Port
Townsend’s sewer system. The anticipated funding allocated to install a large onsite septic
system per Condition #38 of ZON2022-00152 would be used elsewhere to better serve the
project.
Thecountywide policies establish the foundation for determining consistency of individual plans
with each other and with the tenets of the Growth Management Act, as well as a mechanism to
coordinate the provision of public facilities and services throughout the community. These
policies encompass broad concepts encouraging flexibility and innovation in meeting the goals
and intent of the Growth Management Act.

available and the process of siting special purpose housing to ensure such housing can be
accommodated.
See the following sections to further elaborate on how CBV and the surrounding publicly-owned
property fits the required criteria to be incorporated into the Port Townsend UGA.
Environmental Information:
CBV has an existing land use and zoning designation of Rural Residential (“RR”) 1:20 (onedwelling
unit per 20 acres). The parcel is not designated as agriculture, forest, or mineral resource lands.
Only slight landslide hazard area and susceptible aquifer recharge areas are mapped as critical
areas. Slight landslide hazard area is not regulated under the County’s Critical Areas Ordinance.
The proposed impervious areas related to CBV are limited, and the likelihood of negatively
affecting infiltration, runoff, recharge, or long-term aquifer sustainability is minimal.That is to
say, the mapped critical areas would not make the siteunsuitable for urban development.
Cumulative Impact Analysis:
Pursuant to JCC 18.450.080(1)(b), the Planning Commission and the Board of County
Commissionersshall develop findings and conclusions that consider specific criteria.Those
criteria, and staff evaluations, follow.

Supplemental Sheet for Non-Project Actions:
The following environmental analysis is presented in the format of the Non-Project Action
Supplemental Sheet to the Environmental Checklist developed by the Department of Ecology
pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (“SEPA”).
Question #1.How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air;
production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
Development standards in both the Jefferson County Codeand the Port Townsend City Codeare
sufficient to address stormwater, noise, and waste disposal.
Question #2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The Caswell-Brown Village operates under a county stormwater permit.Vegetation is preserved
as screening.
Question #3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
The Caswell-Brown Village site is area already planned for emergency, transient, and permanent
supportive housing. It is connected to a public water system. Sanitary sewer would be provided
by an established City of Port Townsendutility when a fundingsource is secured to
extend/upgrade the necessary infrastructure. There will be no significant depletion of energy or
natural resources.
Question #4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas
or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection, such as parks,
wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or
cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
The mapped environmentally sensitive areas are not subject to regulation under the County’s
Critical Areas Ordinance. There are no areas designated or eligible for governmental protection.
20
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
Question #5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including
whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
CBA was permitted under a County conditional use permit. It is a compatible land use outside of
shoreline jurisdiction. Sewer extension into the general vicinity of CBV might encourage
appropriate urban growth in the immediate area, as envisioned and planned.
Question #6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
The scale of the project would not significantly increase transportation or public service demand.
Bus service already is nearby and is accessible to the people housed at the CBV. The parcel is
served by a public water supply and is in the City’s sewer service area. The City of Port Townsend
has indicated that it has the capability to serve the CBV with the system improvement upgrade.
Question #7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal
laws or requirements for the protection of the environment.
There are no knownconflicts with local, state, or federal laws or requirements.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff supports the inclusion of theCaswell-Brown Village (“CBV”) and surrounding publicly-
owned parcels, totaling 32.72 acres,into the Port Townsend UGA so that urban services(i.e.,
sewer)can be provided to this public purpose facility. The proposal would also match existing
land use to the updated land use map for both County and City. Existing public facilities include
the City’s regional stormwater facility and a new substation as proposed by the Public Utility
District No. 1 of Jefferson County (“PUD”).

Urban Growth Areas & Services
Policies on Urban Growth Areas describe using the OFM to develop a joint County-City of Port
Townsend population forecast that would be used in capital facility and service plans.
Additionally, the policies describe sizing the urban growth area based at least on the low forecast
or if capital facilities are sufficient based on a medium or high projection.
Sizing of Urban Growth Areas is to be based primarilyon adequate supply of developable land to
accommodate the joint population forecast, and including land for residential, commercial, and
industrial uses. The Urban Growth Area boundaries may be revised to accommodate special
purpose housing, provided an assessment of available land indicates that revision is necessary to
accommodate housing to all economic segments of the population, reduce displacement risk,
and undo identified racially disparate impacts.

Urban Growth Areas
Municipal & Unincorporated
The GMA authorizes the designation of Urban Growth Areas in RCW 36.70A.110 to include cities
and other areas characterized by urban growth or adjacent to such areas. Urban Growth Areas
are intended to accommodate a projected population growth for the next twenty years. The GMA
specifies that future growth should, first, be located in areas that already have public facilities
and service capacity and, second, in areas where such services, if not already available, are
planned.
In Jefferson County, there are two Urban Growth Areas:
City ofPort Townsend MunicipalUrban Growth Area (Municipal and Unincorporated);and
Port Hadlock/Irondale Unincorporated Urban Growth Area.
The City of Port Townsend is subject to its own Comprehensive Plan and development regulations
affecting urban growth and the provision of public facilities and services withinthe City of Port
Townsend. The unincorporated portion of the Port Townsend UGA is subject to the Jefferson
County Comprehensive Plan and implementing regulations. Joint planning between the County
and City is encouraged, particularly for those areas that may be annexed into the City of Port
Townsend at some point in the future.
The Irondale-Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area is an unincorporated Urban Growth Area, located
approximately 5 miles south of the City of Port Townsend, adjacent to Port Townsend Bay. This
unincorporated Urban Growth Area is subject to the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan and
implementing regulations.
An Urban GrowthArea defines where urban developments will be directed and supported with
typical urban public facilities and services, such as storm and sanitary sewer systems, domestic
water systems, fire and police protectionservices, and public transit services. Urban growth areas
enable new development to locate close to vital capital facilities and urban services or "infill" in
existing urbanizing areas. Urban Growth Areas enable fiscal resources associated with capital
facilities and urban services to be operated more cost-effectively.
The Port Hadlock/Irondale Urban Growth Area is an unincorporated Urban Growth Area, located
approximately 5 miles south of the City of Port Townsend, adjacent to Port Townsend Bay. This
unincorporated Urban Growth Area is subject to the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan and
implementing regulations.

The Urban Growth Area is an area where urban public facilities and services are available or are
planned. Provision of urban public facilities and services may be available through several service
providers, such as Jefferson County, the JPUD, or some other entity such as a sewer and water
district.
Port Townsend Urban Growth Area
Background
The construction of an emergency shelter and permanent support housing is a verified
community need. It remains one of the biggest issues facing our community. The COVID-19
pandemic exacerbated the housing emergency issues, and the County Commissioners began
crisis planning by identifying locations within the county and near services to house those
individuals who were experiencing homelessness. With American Rescue Plan funding, the
County purchased the Mill Road site and several other contiguous parcels to the south as a unit.
OlyCAPleases a site from the County, offering the local unhoused population a temporary place
to stay while working to find permanent housing. OlyCAP named the new location the Caswell-
Brown Village, in remembrance of two people who died while experiencing lack of shelter or
supportive services. The Caswell-Brown Village (“CBV”) on Mill Road refers to the combined 50-
bed emergency shelter with permanent supportive housing and a 40-lot park consisting primarily
of recreational vehicles and tiny shelters to provide housing for persons experiencing housing
insecurity. It will be a continuum of care housing facility operated by OlyCAPon a long-term lease
with the County.
Jefferson County has collaborated with the City of Port Townsend on a modification to the Port
Townsend UGA, something that has not happened since the original establishment of the UGA
boundary (coincident with the City’s municipal boundary) in the years following the adoption of
GMA. The area proposed to be included within the Port Townsend UGA is characterized by urban
growth. Either the subject parcels themselves already contain urban-style development or they
are located in close proximity to urban development, and by either measure, the subject area is
appropriate for urban growth. The growth pattern on or near these lands makes the parcels
incompatible with the primary use of land for the production of food, other agricultural products,
or fiber, or the extraction of mineral resources, rural uses, rural development, and natural
24
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
resource lands designated pursuant to RCW36.70A.170. The parcels are located in close
proximity to urban services, including but not limited to the City’s regional stormwater system,
sanitary sewer system, domestic water system, street cleaning services, fire and police protection
services, public transit services, healthcare and medical services, and other public utilities
associated with urban areas and normally not associated with rural areas.
In 2024, Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend completed a joint housing allocation
using Method C of the model provided by the State Department of Commerce, called the Housing
for all Planning Tool (“HAPT”). There are no other suitable alternative sites within the existing
Port Townsend city limits to accommodate a similar facility. Incorporating CBV into the Port
Townsend UGA boundary addresses recent legislation that amended GMA to require local
governments, when completing the periodic update of comprehensive plans, to accommodate
housing affordable to all economic segments of the population, reduce displacement risk, and
undo identified racially disparate impacts.
The City of Port Townsend is progressing to complete the City’s General Sewer Plan (“GSP”)
update in 2025.The plan update provides planning level analysis of the City’s Wastewater
Treatment Plant, Biosolids Facility, and sewer collection system. The updated GSP includes a
projected capital investments analysis and operational projection necessary for the next 20 years.
An updated rate study was developed to pay for the infrastructure investment identified in the
capital analysis to ensure adequate funds to operate the sewer system. The GSP is under review
by the Washington State Department of Ecology. Following Ecology’s review and approval, the
final adoption will be incorporated into the City’s 2025 periodic update.
Jefferson County Public Utility District No. 1 (“PUD”) is working to address power capacity and
reliability issue in the Port Townsend area. PUD believes the solution to these issues is to build
another electrical sub-station that are adjacent to existing PUD power lines. In looking for suitable
location, the PUD identified two county-owned parcels, which were purchased as a unit when
establishing CBV at its current location. The County and the PUD are currently working on
documentation to effectuate the sale.
The 32.72-acre unincorporated Port Townsend UGA comprises all publicly-owned parcels. The
re-designation of the land use and zoning maps would eliminate the potential segmentation of
the required urban services and facilities, but also ensurethat future connections/expansions of
these services were possible.

Proposed Amendment 4: Proposed Amendment 4: Review of Land Use and Zoning in the
Jefferson County Airport Essential Public Facility (AEPF)
Applicant: The Port of Port Townsend
Location: This proposed amendment will change the zoning and overlay designation of parcels,
or portions of parcels:
1.Addition to AEPF: APN001332013 & 001332017, currently zoned RR-5, to be zoned EPF-A;
2.Expansion of Airport Overlay III (which currently consists of 24-acre APN 001331005): APN
001332013 & 001332017(AEPF addition parcels); portions of the following parcels that are
currently in the AEPF:APN 001284006 NE corner of AEPF, north of Airport Road, and
portions of parcels outside of the FAA building restriction zone: APN 001332004 (a portion
of parcel west of SR20 and portion east of SR20), APN 001332001; APN 001331017; APN
001331012; APN001331018 (entire); and APN 001331016.
General Description:
The AEPF is currently ca. 316 acres. The Port of Port Townsend proposes to expand the AEPF by
12 acres by adding two 6-acre parcels (APN 001332013 and APN 001332017) to the southwest
boundary (Figure 3), as well asexpand the 24-acre Airport Overlay III within the resulting AEPF
zone from 24 acres to ca. 73.5 acres total (Figure 4). There are two distinct portionsto the
expanded overlay: 1) a 6.5-acre area in the northeast corner of the AEPF, north of Airport Road,
and 2) the main overlay area south of the FAA building restriction line (identified as Airport
Overlay I). The proposed expansion of the AEPF has been accepted by the FAA as an amendment
to the Airport Layout Plan (“ALP”) as requiredby FAA. An update to the Airport Master Plan is
anticipated in 2025.A 3.38-acre portion of parcel APN 001334004 (“RR-10”) located below the
AEPF and connecting to Four Corners Road,was originally planned to be part of the AEPF
expansion, butwill be acquired by the Port of Port Townsend for access to the AEPF and Airport
Overlay IIIand remain with rural residential zoning. No development would occur on this access
parcel except utilities and access.
Pursuant to JCC 18.15.453(1) the purpose of the Airport Overlay III is to provide a limited
opportunity for rural scale non-aviation-related industrial uses that contribute to the long-term
financial viability of the AEPF and to enhance the economic vitality and quality of life for the
citizens of Jefferson County.The JCIA light industrial manufacturing park hasalternately been
referencedas the Airport Light Industrial Park (“ALP”), or JCIA Rural Light Industrial Park. The
purpose of the expansion of Airport Overlay III is to provide additional land for Light
Industrial/Manufacturing uses to provide additional economic growth opportunities, and
ultimately, add employment opportunities in the area.

The Jefferson County International Airport (“JCIA”) is owned and operated by the Port of Port
Townsend. It is situated about four miles southwest of the City of Port Townsend on about 316
acres. Its runway is about 3,000 feet in length, and over 107 aircraft are based there. The Airport
is designated as a General Aviation (GA) airport by the FAA’s National Plan of Integrated Airport
Systems (“NPIAS”). In 2010, the total flightoperations equaled approximately 58,030, a small
percentage of which arewereair taxi and commuter service and the majority of which arewere
general aviation flights,. Airport use is anticipated to increase in the future. The Port’s current
Airport Master Plan Update (July, 2014) identifies an expansion plan to meet a 2.8% growth rate
for its 107 based aircraft and to stay within FAA requirements for safety and efficient airside and
landing facilities. The Port will applyappliesfor airport development grants for eligible

light industrial/manufacturing development. The airport is designated and zoned as an Essential
Public Facility by Jefferson County. Some airport master plan recommendations address height,
noise, and other factors. (Port of Port Townsend, 2014)The FAA-approved Airport Master Plan
describes the Port’s goals and objectives for the future maintenance, modernization, and/or
expansion of the facility. It is a guidance document that outlines key planning and development
issues and provides recommendations on a wide range of issues (e.g., building heights, noise,
etc.). The Port is initiating a process to update the Master Plan in 2025.

a Rural Light Industrial Parkat the Jefferson County International Airport, and Resource Based
Industrial zoned sites.
In addition to the industrial sites described above, the light industrial manufacturing park at the
Jefferson County International Airport, also known as the Airport “JCIA RuralLight Industrial
Park”also allows non-aviation related industrial and manufacturing uses. In 2009, the County
approved a rezone of 24 acres from rural residential to Airport Essential PublicFacility capable of
supporting up to ten small to medium sized low impact, non-aviation-related light
industrial/manufacturing businesses. As of 2017 the site requires a Binding Site Plan, clearing and
installation of infrastructure before any business operations. Compliance with all applicable
provisions of the Jefferson County Code (“JCC”), including but not limited to Chapters 18.20,
18.30, and 18.35 JCC and the development standards established for the Airport Overlay III in JCC
18.15.453 and JCC 18.35.460, together with relevant provisions of the FAA-approved Airport
Master Plan, is required prior to development within the Rural Light Industrial Park. This will
ensure installation of all necessary infrastructure and utility improvements to support
development and use, as well as implementation of low impact development techniques.
Unified Development Code Proposed Amendatory Language
1.Amend Article III-A, “Jefferson County Airport Essential Public Facility District”, JCC
18.15.1110 “Designated”, to read as follows:
The Jefferson County International Airport (“JCIA”) is a general purpose, public aviation airport
that provides recreational, business, flight training, charter and air taxi services and other uses.
The airport essential public facility district designation (see the official Jefferson County
Comprehensive Plan land use designations map) shall apply to the following:
30
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
(1)Parcels designated as an airport essential public facility on the official Jefferson County
Comprehensive Plan land use designations map;
(2)Any parcel or parcels (a) subsequently acquired by the Port in accordance with the
provisions of the approved JCIA master planand depicted on the Airport Layout Plan (ALP)
Map of the FAA-approved Airport Master Plan;or (b) currently owned by the Port, which
are approved for inclusion in the airport essential public facility district through the
Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan text and land use amendment process, or any other
applicable process. \[Ord. 8-06 § 1\]
2.Amend Article III-A, “Jefferson County Airport Essential Public Facility District”, JCC
18.15.453 “Airport Overlay III”, to read as follows:
(1)Purpose. The purpose of the Airport Overlay III is to provide a limited opportunity for rural
scale non-aviation-related industrial uses that contribute to the long-term financial
viability of the AEPF and to enhance the economic vitality and quality of life for the citizens
of Jefferson County.
(2)Overlay Map. Jefferson County will prepare and maintain an Airport Overlay III map that
identifies the parcels located within the overlay.
(3)Permitted, Conditional and Prohibited Uses. Notwithstanding the permitted, conditional
and prohibited use limitations set forth in JCC 18.15.1112 through 18.15.1114, the
following uses shall be permitted within the Airport Overlay III designation:
(a) Non-aviation-related light industrial/manufacturing.
(4)Development Standards. In addition to the standards for new development in the AEPF
district set forth in JCC18.15.1124through18.15.1132, the following provisions shall
apply:
(a)Impervious Surface Coverage, Building Dimension and Height Restrictions.
(i)Total impervious surface coverage shall not exceed 25 percent.
(ii)No structure shall exceed 10,000square feet in size.
(iii)Notwithstanding JCC18.15.1130, in no instance may structures exceed

31
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
(b)Vegetation Retention and Perimeter Buffering. Existing vegetation should be
maintained to the maximum extent practicable in order to reduce soil erosion, provide
habitat for wildlife, screen light industrial uses from view, and maintain the
predevelopment hydrologic regime. Additionally, the Port shall maintain a minimum 50-
foot-wide buffer along the outer perimeter of each ownership parcel (i.e., not leasehold
parcels created through a future binding site plan process) within the overlay to screen
industrial uses from view and maintain the unincorporated rural aesthetic values of the
locale.
(c)Low Impact Development (“LID”). Development occurring within the Airport Overlay
III shall incorporate low impact development practices to the maximum extent feasible.
The most recent edition of the Low Impact Development Technical Guidance Manual for
Puget Sound (May 2005), developed by the Puget Sound Action Team in collaboration
with the Washington State Department of Ecology, shall be used as a primary source by
the county in reviewing and mitigating development occurring within the overlay district.
\[Ord. 11-09 §2 (Att. B)\]
(5) Other Regulations. Parcels within the JCIA-III overlay are subject to all applicable
provisions of JCC Title 18, as well as regulations and restrictions established by the FAA (e.g.,
Building Restriction Lines (“BRLs”) and Object Free Areas (“OFAs”)).

Figure 4.Areas added to Airport Overlay III
Review of Airport Overlay III as modified:
Zoning south of the proposed Airport Overlay III is primarily RR-10, with the immediate area west
of SR 20 zoned RR-5. The area between the AEPF and Four Corners Neighborhood/Visitor
Crossroads (“NC”)
Jefferson County already allows the Rural Residential zone to abut the LI/M JCIA-III zone, which
the proposed amendment will not alter. The existing buffers outlined in the UDC for the LI/M
JCIA-III zone are not changed by this amendment, which will preserve the interface between
these two zones. Additionally, there will be opportunities for review and conditioning of specific
project proposals within this area. If it is determined that additional conditioning is needed for
development on one of these specific parcels, these conditions can be added at the project
permitting stage.
These properties currently allow uses which would require the use of septic systems. Any future
inclusion of these parcels in the JCIA-III zone would not change the need to develop a septic
34
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
system. Future development on these parcels by The Port of Port Townsend would include on-
site or community septic. The UDC requires that development in the Airport Overlay IIIadheres
to Low Impact Development standards, which means that stormwater would be dealt with on
site. The continued operation of the existing airport is likely to be the principal adverse noise
impact in the area, although air traffic noise is intermittent and light industrial and manufacturing
noise may be more continuous in nature. The development of future Light Industrial and
Manufacturing facilities will be accompanied by the 50-foot-wide minimum buffers required of
each parcel in the Airport Overlay IIIarea. This buffer will also mitigate the impacts from any
future light pollution.
Four Corners Neighborhood/Visitor Crossroads (“NC”) Limited Area of More Intensive Rural
Development (“LAMIRD”) is situated south of the AEPF generally at the intersection of Four
Corners Road (S. Discovery Road on the west side of the intersection) and SR 20. The area
between the AEPF and Four Corners NC is characterized by residential uses, including Moore’s
Mobile Manor residential park, and the Jefferson Transit facility.
Cumulative Impact Analysis:
Pursuant to JCC 18.450.080(1)(b), the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners
shall develop findings and conclusions that consider specific criteria.Those criteria, and staff
evaluations, follow.

Supplemental Sheet for Non-Project Actions:
The following environmental analysis is presented in the format ofthe Non-Project Action
Supplemental Sheet to the Environmental Checklist developed by the Department of Ecology
pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (“SEPA”).
Question #1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to
air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
Increases in discharges, emissions, production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous
substances are not likely to result from the adoption of this proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendment. Existing policies and regulations at the county and state level are designed to reduce
discharges to water and impacts on the natural environment. In addition, individual projects in
this area are required to connect to the Quimper public water system and receive septic approval,
as well as comply with the policies and regulations of the county’s municipal code and
development standards. Air emissions are also regulated by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency.
Storage and handling of any chemicals regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health
40
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
Administration (“OSHA”). Emissions will be reviewed at the time of the subsequent permit
applications.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
Jefferson County Code and associated development regulations (title18JCC)
Jefferson County Code Health and Safety (title 8 JCC)
Jefferson County Code Buildings and Construction (title15JCC)
The proposed code amendment does not alter codes regulating water, air, and noise
pollution. Therefore, there are no anticipated impacts nor mitigation measures proposed.
Question #2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
None anticipated. There are no direct impacts on plants, animals,fish, or marine life from the
proposed amendment. All new development shall demonstrate compliance with the County’s
critical areas regulations in chapter18.22JCC prior to permit approval.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
•Future development is required to meet the County’s adopted critical areas
regulations which include impacts to steep slopes, wetlands, and fish and
wildlife habitat.
•In addition, projects that impact wetlands or marine/fresh waters are subject
to the permitting requirements of the Corp of Engineers, Department of Fish
and Wildlife and the Department of Ecology.
Question#3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
This project is a non-project action. The proposed amendment will not impact energy or
natural resources. All subsequent development will be subject to compliance with the JCC.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
None at this time. Future developments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for
compliance with county building codes, critical area protection standards, and state
energy codes.
Question #4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas
or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection, such as parks,
41
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or
cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands?
Due to soils and subsurface conditions the proposed area Airport Overlay III area is underlain by
designated “Special Aquifer Recharge Protection Areas” (“SARPA”) and SARPA-“Susceptible”.
There are protection standards in chapter 18.22 JCC that will apply to development to protect
water quality. Much of the Airport Overlay III area is designated as “Seismic Soil” which may
require special building codes for protections against liquefaction. Considering the application
of existing development code provisions to all developments, the proposed amendment will not
have deleterious effectson critical areas, historic of cultural resources,prime farmlands, parks,
or scenic corridors. There is therefore no net loss of ecological functions and values, or loss of
agricultural, historic, or cultural, or recreational resources due to the proposed action.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
See response above. State law requires protection of cultural sites and critical areas.
Future developments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for compliance with county
and state codes.
Question #5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including
whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?

The Port’s mission is to build and maintain infrastructure that sustains long-term economic
vitality of the community and make investments in infrastructure that will support the creation
of jobs.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
None at this time. All future developments will be reviewed for consistency with the land
use code (title18JCC).
Question #6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
42
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
Road access to the AEPF additionparcelsto the west will likely be from SR 20, and internal
connectivity within the expandedAirport Overlay III roadway system is anticipated, allowing
traffic to also use the Four Corners Road access. There is existing road accessfrom the AEPF
addition parcels to SR 20 ca. 1,360 feet north of the intersection of Four Corners Road and SR 20.
There be a need for additional traffic/access modifications or analysis.Washington State
Department of Transportation (“WSDOT”) will need to provide review or updated road access
permit at the time of project-specific development.
Road access to the AEPF via Four Corners Road is being developed for the existing 24-acre Airport
Overlay IIIthrough APN 001334004.Four Corners Road is a county owned and designated “minor
collector”, connecting SR 19 (a.k.a. Airport Cutoff Road), designated “minor arterial”, with SR 20,
designated “highway”. The Four Corners access parcel isno longer being proposed to be added
to theAEPF. The thought being, there will be no Light Industrial/manufacturingintensity of use
on thisparcel and therefore does not need to be within the AEPF or FAA Airport Layout Plan.The
Port of Port Townsend plans to providelandscapingand access developmentthatfits within local
conditions.
Evaluation at this phase as anon-project action is donewith incomplete information which would
be provided at a project action phase. It is likely that detailed transportation analysis of SR 20
access, roadway level of service, and intersection level of service, would accompany project-
specific proposals. This phase of the Proposed Amendmentdoes not demonstrateanimpact on
transportation or public services and utilities. All future development will be reviewed on a case-
by-case basis for significant impacts to transportation or public services and utilities.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
None at this time. All future developments will be reviewed for potential significant
impacts to transportation or public services and utilities and may have to comply with
mitigation policies.
Question #7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal
laws or requirements for the protection of the environment.
The proposed amendment will not affect any local, state, or federal laws. Future developments
will be required to meet all county, state, and federal laws applicable toenvironmental
protection requirements.
43
Jefferson County 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Supplemental Staff Report & SEPA Addendum October 10, 2024
FUTURE ANALYSIS AND PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS
The proposed UDC text amendment removes the requirement of a Binding Site Plan (“BSP”). A
BSP requires public notice (a comment period) and is an appropriate land division process for the
Port of Port Townsend at the existing 24-acre site. But a BSP may not be applicable to other
development proposals elsewhere in the expanded Airport Overlay III. The site planning and
development for the existing 24-acre parcel will be through a permit process that includes public
notice and comment. There is someconcern that an appropriate level of public participation be
part of future development proposals in the overlay. Because the anticipated scale and intensity
of development and use of future proposals within the expanded Airport Overlay III are currently
unknown, it is not known if the applicable permit process would trigger a publiccomment period
or SEPA review.
If development plans do not exceed adopted thresholds, the project would be categorically
exempt and SEPA would not be triggered. Public notice is provided for Type II through Type V
approval processes. A Type I process with SEPA review also triggers a public notice requirement.
Type I alone, such as minor site development and a building permit, does not have a public notice
requirement.A definite public notice process is not certain to solicit public input on the potential
wider impacts of the rural light industrial park development within Airport Overlay III.
Other Potential Avenues to Address Identified Public Process and Area-Wide Impact Concerns:
Airport Master Planning/Industrial Site Readiness Grant Planning Process: The Portof Port
Townsendwill be conducting an update to the Airport Master Plan in 2025. The concept-level
planning being advanced under the Industrial Site Readiness Grant between now and the end of
June 2025 may be conducted as part of the Master Plan Update process.The Master Planning
process will be a public process, involving agencies and citizens, and will offer a full and fair
opportunity for any concerns regarding Overlay-III uses south of the BRL to be identified and
addressed.
Development Agreement: Another potential mechanism to provide an opportunity for public
input on the proposed expansion to the Overlay-III/rural light industrial park is a Development
Agreement under JCC 18.40.820 et seq. These are discretionary, and under the County’s code,
would be processed as a Type V permit (Planning Commission public hearing/recommendation;
Board decision) – even though the decision is considered to be “administrative” rather than
“legislative”.This mechanism could provide an avenue to outline the maximum scope of impacts
anticipated, and would also serve to vest future development and use to the current code
requirements for an agreed upon period of time.In addition to requiring Planning Commission
recommendation and approval by the County Commission, the Port of Port Townsendwould also
need to obtain authorization from the Port Commission to enter into a Development Agreement
for the rural light industrial park.

Amend the first paragraph under the heading “Air, Waterborne, & Freight Travel”, Page 6-7, to read as
follows:
The Jefferson County International Airport (JCIA) is owned and operated by the Port of Port Townsend. It is situated
about four miles southwest of the City of Port Townsend on about 316 acres. Its runway is about 3,000 feet in length,
and over 107 aircraft are based there. The Airport is designated as a General Aviation (GA) airport by the FAA’s
National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). In 2010, the total operations equaled approximately 58,030, a
small percentage of which arewereair taxi and commuter service and the majority of which areweregeneral aviation
flights,. Airport use is anticipated to increase in the future. The Port’s currentAirport Master Plan Update (July,
2014) identifies an expansion plan to meet a 2.8% growth rate for its 107 based aircraft and to stay within FAA
requirements for safety and efficient airside and landing facilities. The Port will applyappliesfor airport development
grants for eligible components of its preferred airport layout plan. Ancillary uses of the facility which attracts public
interest and increases use inatthe airport includes businesses and organizations such as an aero museum, aflight
instruction school, airplane mechanics, anairplane restoration school, restaurant, and 24 acresareasdesignatedin
2009 (Ord. No. 11-1215-09)for non-aviation-related light industrial/manufacturing development. The airport is
designated and zoned as an Essential Public Facility by Jefferson County. Some airport master plan recommendations
address height, noise, and other factors. (Port of Port Townsend, 2014) The FAA-approved Airport Master Plan
describes the Port’s goals and objectives for the future maintenance, modernization, and/or expansion of the facility.
It is a guidance document that outlines key planning and development issues and provides recommendations on a wide
range of issues (e.g., building heights, noise, etc.). The Port is initiating a process to update the Master Plan in 2025.
Amend the second and third paragraphs under the heading “Industrial & Manufacturing Businesses”, Page 7-
20, to read as follows:
Industrial sites in Jefferson County include the Port of Port Townsend, Port Townsend Industrial Park (which has
become a commercial and business park), Glen Cove, Eastview, Quilcene Industrial Area, the Irondale/Port Hadlock
UGA, the Port Townsend Paper Company, 24 acres at aRural Light Industrial Parkat the Jefferson County
International Airport, and Resource Based Industrial zoned sites.
In addition to the industrial sites described above, the light industrial manufacturing park at the Jefferson County
International Airport, also known as the Airport “JCIA RuralLight Industrial Park”also allows non-aviation related
industrial and manufacturing uses. In 2009, the County approved a rezone of 24 acres from rural residential to Airport
Essential PublicFacility capable of supporting up to ten small to medium sized low impact, non-aviation-related light
industrial/manufacturing businesses. As of 2017 the site requires a Binding Site Plan, clearing and installation of
infrastructure before any business operations. Compliance with all applicable provisions of the Jefferson County Code
(JCC), including but not limited to Chapters 18.20 and 18.30 JCC and the development standards established for the
Airport Overlay III in JCC 18.15.453, together with relevant provisions of the FAA-approved Airport Master Plan, is
required prior to development within the Rural Light Industrial Park. This will ensure installation of all necessary
infrastructure and utility improvements to support development and use, as wellas implementation of low impact
development techniques.

RE: City of Port Townsend’s Support of County proposal to expand the Port Townsend Urban
Growth Area (UGA) boundary to include publicly-owned parcels of public purpose uses, including the
Caswell-Brown Village for housing services.
Parcel Numbers: Assessor Parcel Numbers: 001162022, 001162001, 001162002, 001162003,
001162004, 001162015, 001161001, 001162017
Greetings Commissioners:
The Port Townsend City Council reviewed the County Supplemental staff report and SEPA addendum
supporting a limited expansion of the Port Townsend UGA to include Caswell-Brown property and a
limited number of adjacent public parcels for access to City of Port Townsend urban services. After
review and discussion, the Council voted to support the proposal, aligning with the County’s staff report
and emphasizing the following:
County Staff Report: “Either the subject parcels themselves already contain urban-style development or
they are located in close proximity to urban development, and by either measure, the subject area is
appropriate for urban growth. The growth pattern on or near these lands makes the parcels
incompatible with the primary use of land for the production of food, other agricultural products, or
fiber, or the extraction of mineral resources, rural uses, rural development, and natural resource lands
designated pursuant to RCW 36.70A.170. The parcels are located in close proximity to urban services,
including but not limited to the City of Port Townsend’s regional stormwater system, sanitary sewer
system, domestic water system, street cleaning services, fire and police protection services, public
transit services, healthcare and medical services, and other public utilities associated with urban areas
and normally not associated with rural areas.”
City supplemental finding: The City of Port Townsend supports adoption of a City Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) and General Sewer Plan (GSP) that ensures capacity for the expanded UGA service area. A lift
station to serve this area is funded in the 2022-2028 Capital Improvement Plan and a sewer connection
to CBV is listed in the proposed 2024-2010 CIP. The City Council will hold a public hearing on November
18, 2024 on the proposed GSP and on December 2, 2024 on the CIP update with final action on both
anticipated to occur on or before December 16, 2024. The City SEPA administrator signed a SEPA
Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) on the CIP with comments or appeals due November 28, 2024.
She also signed a SEPA DNS on the GSP October 8, 2024. No appeal or comments were received.
Additionally, the County applied for a Connecting Housing through Infrastructure Grant (CHIP) grant
from the Department of Commerce to extend utilities and recapture of the City’s System Development
Charge fee deferrals that are made available for low-income housing development like Caswell Brown.
This UGA extension allows both the City and County to partner in providing efficient services for all
economic segments of our community.
County Staff Report: “The Caswell-Brown Village (“CBV”) on Mill Road refers to the combined 50-bed
emergency shelter with permanent supportive housing and a 40-lot park consisting primarily of
recreational vehicles and tiny shelters to provide housing for persons experiencing housing insecurity. . .
The CBV currently has 50 tiny shelters available to unhoused people, and OlyCAP is working to build a
permanent support housing on site. It will be a continuum of care housing facility operated by OlyCAP
on a long-term lease with the County.”
City supplemental finding: The City supports urgent UGA expansion to be eligible for and secure
Connecting Housing through Infrastructure Grant (CHIP) funding from the Department of Commerce,
which requires that Caswell Brown be fully within a UGA boundary. Moreover, there is an overriding
public interest and public benefit to include the proposed parcels within the UGA to protect public health
and safety by avoiding installation of a large onsite septic system and enabling efficient service of sewer
and water. The City has adopted an Emergency Shelter and Housing ordinance (Ordinance 3335) that
classifies a site such as CBV as a “Continuum of Care Facility” due to the mixed types of emergency, tiny
shelter, and safe parking available. This housing proposal both alleviates current stressors to provide
emergency shelter at the County-run American Legion shelter and provides a path forward to meet a
variety of shelter needs for the unhoused population.
The City used the parcel data in its Land Capacity Analysis to determine if any other suitable locations
exist within the UGA for a facility matching CBV. Staff referenced the Dept of Commerce Book 2 Guidance
for Updating Your Housing Element, and analyzed UGA capacity for emergency housing needs using
Option B, the assumed density method. The City of PT UGA does not contain a property with government
site control that can accommodate similar densities of that provided by a regionally comparable facility
that is also zoned to allow emergency shelter facilities such as CBV. For purposes of regional analysis, the
City used Serenity House in Port Angeles as a comparator, which offers beds at the density of 99 per acre
(188 beds approved in the City of PA Conditional Use Permit staff report on 1.89 acres). Additionally,
Serenity House offers multiple safe parking stalls and tent camping sites. It is the closest regional land
use to Port Townsend’ definition of a Continuum of Care Facility. Three privately-owned large properties
that could accommodate a facility the size of Caswell Brown at Serenity House densities. However, each
lacked sufficient utilities, street access, or adequate unit densities with critical areas deductions to be
viable. The City owns a property as part of its Affordable Housing Inventory (the “Lewinsky” property),
but it also lacks utilities and contains critical areas. The Lewinsky property is not zoned for Emergency
Shelters or Continuum of Care facilities. The Housing Action Plan Tool (HAPT) projects a need of 280 units
of emergency housing for the 20-year planning period in the City of Port Townsend UGA. The CBV must
be successful to help meaningfully defray the need for 280 emergency housing beds in the Port
Townsend UGA.
County Staff Report: “The zoning would change from Rural Residential (RR 1:20 and RR 1:5) to UGA
Public. The area proposed to be included within the Port Townsend UGA is characterized by urban
growth.”
City supplemental finding: The City of Port Townsend concurs that this area is characterized by urban
growth. As part of the 2025 Periodic Update of the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the City will amend its
map and plans to ensure consistency with the BoCC’s decision on this UGA boundary adjustment matter.
The preliminary docket will be decided in early 2025. If BoCC action is taken, Council will approve a
docket item to make responsive changes.
In closing the City of Port Townsend greatly appreciates partnership with Jefferson County to help solve
our affordable housing emergency and address our respective Growth Management Act Housing
Comprehensive Plan goals. These efforts also reflect the cooperative effort to fulfill Growth
Management Act requirements and be consistent with Countywide Planning Policies. We look forward
to moving forward on this proposal in lockstep with our CIP and GSP and Periodic Update next year.
Sincerely,
David J. Faber
Mayor of Port Townsend

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Water Street Sewer Main which serves all Downtown and most of Uptown is
nearingthe end of its effective and reliable service life. The main’s 14”AC gravity
sectionextending fromthe Ferry Terminal’s intersection to Gain’s Street Lift Station is in
dire need of repair and replacement. On December 27, 2022, a section of the sewer
main at the corner of Water Street and Gaines Street failed causing a sinkhole. Crews
quickly responded under emergency order and repaired a 120’ section. Once again, on
August 31, 2024, another section of pipe failed near the Ferry terminal. Approximately,
370 feet of pipe was replaced by Seton during this emergency repair. Both emergency
repairs were slated for upgrades under the Water Street Sewer Repair and
Replacement Project. The project connects the sections of pipe repaired by replacing
the 14” AC main extending form the Ferry Terminal’s intersection to the gains Street Lift
Station. Project redesign now includes extending the City’s existing Monroe Lift Station
force main by approximately 1,850 linear feet via horizontal directional drilling and open-
cut parallel to 1,830 linear feet of existing gravity sewer main. The existing gravity
sewer main will be sliplined to serve the businesses and residences along Water Street.
The work also includes traffic control, temporary sewer bypasses, manhole
rehabilitations, side sewer reinstatements, abandonment, restoration and coordination
for construction sequencing.

August 31, 2024 Failure
The project website includes more details about the project:
https://cityofpt.us/engagept/page/water-street-sewer-replacement-project-0
The City securedPublic WorksTrust Fund Loan/Grant in November 2023to begin the
design process. Additional funding through System Development Charges (SDC’s) are
also allocated to the project. Contractor equipment mobilization is anticipated to begin in
late December. The Water Street Sewer Replacement Project is scheduled to begin
construction on or near January 10, 2025.
Over the last couple of years, City staff and RH2 Inc. have been working on the final
design implementing the design concept approved by Council. The project was advertised
for bid on November 13, 2024. Two contractors submitted bids with the lowest responsive
bidder being ACI. The low bid for the project came in at $2,360,360. With budget funding
currently allocated for emergency repair work, More Lift Station hardware (three new
impellers needed for force main extension), and consultant design, project budget is
above the engineer’s estimate. The bid tabulations are attached for reference.
Based on the bids received, the new total project cost is approximately $3,156,510 which
are Loan/grant eligible up to the awarded amount. The attached project budget sheet
illustrates the change in the project budgetshowing the increase in city sewer funds
required if the bids are accepted by the City Council. The project cost has increased a
total of $318,310 including $100,000 in contingency requiring $318,310 additional sewer
funds to be applied to the project.
This approval also includes budget to cover additional design costs of $19,000 and
services during construction estimated at $41,000. The cost increases for the project are
justified as it reflects additional pipe discovered that needed to be replaced once surveys
were completed. Ironically, this additional pipe was also the same pipe that failed next to
the Ferry Terminal.
In summary, staff is recommending awarding this project with the cost increases based
on the bids received. The receipt of the Public Works Board Grant and Loan combination
offsets the cost impacts to the City sewer utility.
If approved, construction is anticipated to begin after the New Year with an expected
construction timeline of 11.4 weeks.
