SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Background: Transportation Benefit Districts (TBDs)
Washington State law (Chapter 36.73) allows cities and counties to form transportation
benefit districts (TBDs) to raise revenue for specific transportation projects that are
included in a transportation plan. TBDs are quasi-municipal corporations and
independent taxing districts that typically raise transportation revenue through vehicle
license fees and/or sales taxes.
The City of Port Townsend created a Transportation Benefit District (TBD) on July 24,
2023, for the purpose of raising revenues for the City street system.The action was a
result of 2-3 years of careful consideration and analysis of how the City manages the
street system on behalf of the public, and included the Comprehensive Streets Program
and the Financial Sustainability Initiative. It also reflected local impacts and needs
related to a state-wide reduction in local street funding, that is affecting jurisdictions and
their communities across Washington. The many presentations and materials from the
City Council Infrastructure and Development Committee can be found here:
https://cityofpt.us/engagept/page/comprehensive-streets-program.
Jefferson County’s Intended Direction
Over 110 cities in Washington State have created Transportation Benefit Districts
(TBDs), concurrent with their city boundaries. At least five counties (or county areas)
have also formed TBDs, including King County, Pierce County, Snohomish County,
Thurston County, and Point Roberts (part of Whatcom County).
The Jefferson County Administrator, in a letter dated November 18, 2024, to the City
Manager, signaled Jefferson County’s intention to create a TBD for unincorporated
Jefferson County transportation projects before the end of the year. It is expected that
the County will pursue a councilmanic (non-voted) action to impose a $20 car tab fee
and a 0.1% sales and use tax as revenue sources for the TBD.
RCW 63.73.020 allows the participation of other jurisdictions, like the City of Port
Townsend, in the county’s Transportation Benefit District, including pooling of funds for
agreed projects that benefit both jurisdictions. While the letter assumes that the City is
not interested in joining the TBD, such a decision is a policy decision in the City
Council’s purview, which is why this item is before Council for consideration.
The topic is anticipated to be discussed by the Board of County Commissioners on
December 16, 2024.
Staff Recommended Position
While collaboration with regional jurisdictions and agencies has yielded tremendous
benefits for city residents and the region, particularly over the past 5 years, staff
recommends not joining the County’s TBD for reasons related to administrative
efficiency, optimal resource allocation for city residents and visitors, and geographic
equity with revenue generation. Instead, staff recommends a resolution indicating
support and an intent to coordinate investments from separated revenue sources for
mutual or greater benefit when feasible.

CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
RECOMMENDED ACTION: If adopted as part of the Consent Agenda, no further action
is needed; this effectively represents unanimous approval of Resolution 24-039 To
Support Jefferson County’s Formation of a Separate Transportation Benefit District
(TBD) for Unincorporated Jefferson County

A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT JEFFERSON COUNTY’S FORMATION OF A
SEPARATE TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT DISTRICT (TBD) FOR
UNINCORPORATED JEFFERSON COUNTY
WHEREAS, Washington State law (Chapter 36.73) allows cities and counties to form
transportation benefit districts (TBDs) to raise revenue for specific transportation projects; and
WHEREAS, Lack of local and regional transportation funding has caused a backlog in
deferred maintenance with local street systems frequently and increasingly in general disrepair;
and
WHEREAS, The City of Port Townsend created a Transportation Benefit District (TBD)
on July 24, 2023, for the purpose of raising revenues for the City street system; and
WHEREAS, Jefferson County intends to create a TBD for unincorporated Jefferson
County transportation projects through councilmanic action including a $20 car tab feeand 0.1%
sales and use tax; and
WHEREAS, RCW 63.73.020 allows the participation of other jurisdictions, like the City
of Port Townsend, in the county’s Transportation Benefit District, including pooling of funds for
agreed projects that benefit both jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, Collaboration with Jefferson County has yielded significant benefit to city
and county residents and visitors and the City aims to coordinate with Jefferson County for mutual
benefit as feasible; and
WHEREAS, Joining TBDs together may cause challenges related to administrative
efficiency, optimal resource allocation, and geographic equity with revenue generation;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Port
Townsend, Washington, supports Jefferson County’s formation of aseparate Transportation
Benefit District that provides regional benefits for County roads in a state of disrepair. The City
Council may seek to coordinate investments where feasible for mutual or greater benefits to our
communities.
ADOPTED by the City Council of Port Townsend, Washington, at a regular meeting
thereof, held this 2nd day of December 2024.

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 City received two grants for affordable housing in 2021 from the State Department of Commerce. An additional Federal Grant was received for sewer infrastructure. The funding is
directed to create land available for affordable housing through acquisition of property and the construction of sewer infrastructure to support full development of the land. The project
has been master planned and will provide over 300 housing units serving a range of income levels. The sewer portion of this project is included on a separate capital sheet entitled
the "Mill Road Lift Station".State Affordable Housing GrantCity Funds Affordable Housing fundsJefferson County ARPA City General Funds (Abatement and Mowing)City General Funds Transfer

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.
RCO funding was not received and thus the City is utilizing General Fund reserves to complete the project.2023 Banked CapacityARPARCO Grant (Unsecured) - No match requiredGeneral Fund

The 1989 addition to the Port Townsend Library has windows with frames that are beginning to rot due to moisture intrusion and window failure. This project replaces the windows for
this portion of the library. The source of funds for this project are bond revenues as well as American Rescue Plan Act funds as well as a Department of Commerce Grant. This project
also rehabilitates the outdated bathrooms. Additional funds from the grant will be used in 2025 to make other upgrades to improve the longevity of this building.Bond Fund - Real Estate

The existing PW shops located on Beech St. houses the Public Works Department divisions of fleet maintenance, streets, wasteawter collections, storm water collections, and water distribution
crews. In addition, the parks maintenance and facilities maintenance divisions do not have adequate shops with parks based out of the old water barn on Harrison Street and the offices
locatd at Mountain View. This current Beech street site consists of older portable units that have reached their useful life expectancy and is undersized for such a large crew. The
site is also located in the middle of a residential neighborhood and the property could be better suited for housing. This first step in this project will be to hire a consultant to
develop a schematic design towards building a new Muncipal Service Center adjacent to our Water Quality site. Funds for this project will be split between the seven departments that
will operate out of this facility. Water DistributionWW CollectionsStormStreetsFleetFacilitiesParksSchematic Design Consultant Project Management Staff support and management Project

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

The City's Wastewater Treatment Plant does an exceptional job removing nutrients from the waste stream before reclaimed water is released into the Straight of Juan De Fuca. In order
to reduce nutrient loading to the Puget Sound, the Department of Ecology is expected to place new limits on the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
The City will receive a grant to perform a study of the plant to determine what upgrades are necessary to comply with the new permit.Department of Ecology (ECY) Nutrient GrantSewer

This project includes permitting, design and construction to replace or rehabilitate the off-shore portion of the existing wastewater treatment plant outfall system with a new outfall
and diffuser. The City has secured Department of Ecology loans to help construct this project. In 2023, Department of Ecology and City Staff worked collaboratively to reduce the loan
amount based on timelines. The City will have to re-apply for additional loan money in the future. The current budget shows no construction costs. These costs will be determined
with approved permits.Department of Ecology (ECY) Loan/GrantSewer System Development Charge (495)Sewer (411)Future Loan/Grant Design Engineering / Permitting Consultant Permitting and

In the coming years the wastewater treatment plant will be too small to handle all of the sewage that the City produces. When this happens expansion is required to comply with the City's
NPDES permit. The first step in this expansion will be to build new aeration ditches and demolish the existing ones to make room for additional clarifiers. This is number F8 in the
Sewer Plan. In the near term there may be some changes to the current ditches to help with nutrient removal, that will need to be made.Sewer RatesFuture Sewer Bond or State Loans/Grants

The Wastewater Treatment Plant was constructed and put into service in 1994. The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system has not been upgraded since this time and is
outdated. This technical system runs the plant with operator controls. This technical system is a key component of plant operation and needs to be replaced. Currently parts are no longer
being produced, thus this project needs to be addressed soon. This project is included in the General Sewer Plan as project number F6.Sewer Operations (411)Design Consultant (10%)Construction

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

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.

A thriving community for all...
CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND MISSION STATEMENT
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
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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

3. City Facilities and Property: maintenance of parks, buildings, public rights
of way, and City equipment (including information technology equipment);
4. Council and community goals, both annual and long-range, including
strategic plan goals.
III. ACCOUNTING, AUDITING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING
The City will maintain a system of financial monitoring, control and reporting for
all operations and funds to provide effective means of ensuring that overall City
goals and objectives are met.
Accounting Records and Reporting The City will maintain its accounting
records in accordance with state and federal regulations. Budgeting, accounting
and reporting activities will conform to the Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting
System (BARS) for Governments as prescribed by the Washington State Auditor.
The City maintains its accounting and budgeting records on a cash basis and
adheres to the cash basis BARS manual.
Capital Assets As a cash basis entity, the City records and reports only inflows
and outflows of cash. When a capital asset is purchased, the entire expenditure
is recorded when the cash is expended and depreciation is not recorded. The City
considers capital assets to be real and intangible assets above $7,500 in value
that have an anticipated life of one year or more. Capital assets are tracked by

the Finance Department as a fixed asset inventory. Items that are no longer
needed or no longer functional will be disposed according to the City surplus
policy and state law.
Capital assets that are purchased with grant funds may be subject to additional
compliance requirements. The department obtaining the grant is responsible for
understanding any compliance requirements related to acquiring, inventorying,
tracking and disposing of assets obtained through these types of funds.
Small and Attractive Assets - The City identifies small and attractive assets as
items with a cost greater than $500 but less than $7,500. These items have a life
expectancy of more than one year AND are not likely to be immediately missed
upon disappearance. These items are generally mobile in nature and may be
easily transported from the workplace. Some exceptions to the $500 minimum
include tablets, phones, personal computers, and other lower cost items that have
ongoing maintenance or service costs associated with them. Department Heads
are accountable for the security of these items and are responsible for following
the Small and Attractive Assets Policy and Procedures that have been adopted
by Council. The Director of Finance and Technology Services (Finance Director)

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

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.

Union Contract negotiations may impact budget expenditures annually. However,
if a collective bargaining agreement is, or will be, under negotiation, a specific
amount will not be included in the budget from potential wage adjustments
resulting from the negotiation, other than a base COLA adjustment. This is to

Adopted December 4, 2023
Page 13 of 22
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,
including food, lodging and travel expenses while away, excluding any expenses
for personal entertainment or alcoh

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
performance compared to budget.
Significant financial issues that need to be addressed between regular monitoring
reports will be provided to Council as warranted.
The Finance Director will monitor unanticipated needs or emergency expenditures
and prepare budget amendments or supplementals in compliance with State Law.
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

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.

XV. VACANCY RATE POLICY
As part of the annual budget process, the Vacancy Rate Policy requires setting
a vacancy rate based on an assessment of market conditions and vacancy rate
trends. The rate would then be used to calculate an equivalent General Fund
savings from unspent employee salaries and benefits, from which eligible
expenses can be funded up to those savings. Expenses must have direct nexus
to the impacts of or mitigation of staff vacancies, including:
Employee engagement programs facilitated through the People &
Performance Department
Staff training
Short-term contracts of less than 6 months duration
Seeding the Rainy-Day Fund
At least 20% of the Vacancy Rate savings, should there be any, is

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.

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

Another primary goal is to implement the General Sewer Plan with methodic inspection and
to begin to rehabilitate the aging sewer collection system.

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

Accurate metering is necessary to ensure equitable water system cost sharing for the Olympic Gravity Water System operations and asset replacement. Port Townsend Municipal and the Mill
water consumption will be individually metered at the point of delivery, located at the intersection of Mill Road and South 8th Street. Engineering and design for the metering is underway
in 2021 and installation of the meters will occur in March 2022 during the annual paper mill maintenance shutdown. Water Operating (411)Water Capital Surcharge (430)Water SDC (495)Design

The OGWS 1928 Steel pipe experienced a leak in a remote location near Snow Creek Ranch. The leak caused siginficant damage to the hillside in steep terrain. Staff is currently in the
process of evaluating restoration needs as well as pipeline stability strategies. A budget amendment for this project is anticipated once additional information is obtained from professional
consulting support. The OGWS fund includes a $2 million reserve balance to address unanticipated repairs. Olympic Gravity Water System Fund (417)Design Consultant - AssessmentDesign

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

The Wastewater Treatment Plant was constructed and put into service in 1994. The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system has not been upgraded since this time and is
outdated. This technical system runs the plant with operator controls. This technical system is a key component of plant operation and needs to be replaced. Currently parts are no longer
being produced, thus this project needs to be addressed soon. This project is included in the General Sewer Plan as project number F6.Sewer Operations (411)Design Consultant (10%)Construction

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!

In 2023,SB 5290 made several changes to state statute RCW 36.70B Local Project
Review with the intent of streamlining local development project review. Amendments
went into effect in the summer of 2023, except for new permit time period requirements
which will go into effect on January 1, 2025.
Barring adoption of a local ordinance, on January 1, 2025, state mandated permit
timelines will apply. Briefly,
65 Days: For project permits that do not require public notice
100 Days: For project permits that require public notice
170 Days: For project permits that require public notice
The statute expressly allows local jurisdictions to adopt an ordinance modifying the
timelines, permit types, permit names or categories provided in the state statue.
Adoption of a local ordinance amending timelines consistent with the new statutory
provisions cannot be appealed to the Growth Management Hearings Board (GMHB).
PCD staff propose procedural amendments to the following Port Townsend Municipal
Code Chapters modifying permit timelines, permit types, permit names/categories and
clarifying procedures:
1.14 Uniform Appeal Procedures of Administrative Decisions of Planning and
Community Development Department and Public Works Directors
12.04 Transportation and Rights-of-Way Improvement Standards
17.76 Signs
20.01 Land Development Administrative Procedures
Proposed timelines are consistent with the new statutoryprovisions (i.e., do not exceed
170 days). Adoption of a local ordinance amending timelines consistent with the new
statutory provisions cannot be appealed to the Growth Management Hearings Board
(GMHB).
Also, in effect on January 1, 2025 linked to the new law is a requirement to refund 10-
20% of application review fees unless a minimum of additional measures stated in law
are adopted to help expedite permit review. Resolution 24-038 as explained in Agenda
Bill 24-177 attempts to address this component of the new law. The order in which to
take action is to approve Ordinance 3345 and then the other two related 5290
Resolutions. Waiver of second Council reading will expedite and streamline the
process.

12.04.160 Waiver/modification of the required right-of-way and transportation improvement standards.
A. Authority to Grant Waiver/Modification. The provisions of this section are intended to be a separate and distinct
procedure from the zoning code variance procedures. Waivers and/or modifications of the standards of this chapter
and/or the engineering design standards manual may be granted only upon meeting the criteria of subsection B of
this section. Waivers may be initiated by the city or the developer pursuant to subsection D of this section, or by the
public works director on his or her own initiative.
B. Criteria. The public works director may waive or modify applicable requirements contained in this title and/or the
engineering design standards manual for paving, curb and gutter installation, storm drainage, design of structures
and/or grading to future right-of-way grade, signs or other traffic control devices, landscaping, walkways, bikeways,
sidewalks, on-street parking, driveways, surveys, engineering, street widening, cul-de-sacs/hammerheads, and/or
utilities, when it is determined that the waiver or modification will not harm or will be beneficial to the public in
general and that one or more of the following conditions are met:
1. Location in an environmentally sensitive area as determined by Chapter 19.05 PTMC, disruption of existing
drainage patterns, or removal of natural features such as significant trees or vegetation makes widening and/or
improving the street or right-of-way impractical or undesirable.
2. The existence of a structure such as a substantial retaining wall makes widening the street or right-of-way
impractical or undesirable.
3. Widening and/or improving the street or right-of-way would eliminate street access to an existing lot.
4. Widening and/or improving the street or right-of-way would make building on a lot infeasible by reducing it
to dimensions where; (1) development standards cannot reasonably be met; or (2) under which the property
owner will have no reasonable use of the property.
5. One or more structures on the same side of the block as the proposed project are located in the area needed
for future expansion of the street or right-of-
of the remainder of the street or right-of-way unlikely.
6. Widening and/or improving the street or right-of-way is impractical because topography would preclude the
use of the street for vehicular access to the lot (for example due to an inability to meet the required maximum
driveway slope).
7. Widening, paving or street frontage improvements are unnecessary because (1) the street is adequate for
current and potential pedestrian and vehicular traffic, for example, due to the limited number of lots served by
the development, or (2) the development is on a street that is already developed at or near its zoned capacity
and the improvements would provide little public benefit.
8. The specific design of the future street is currently unknown, making immediate improvement impractical
and undesirable.
9. The installation of the required improvements would likely cause unacceptable significant adverse
environmental impacts that may not be mitigated as determined by the SEPA official, and the
waiver/modification would avoid such impacts.
10. There is insufficient street or right-of-way adjacent to the lot(s) and easement access cannot be obtained
across private property.
11. There is no street or right-of-way adjacent to the lots and easement access can be obtained across private
property.
12. In the case of engineered plans for street construction, when the public works department determines that
engineering is unnecessary due to the limited extent of the improvements, where short or dead-end streets have
The Port Townsend Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 3338, passed August 19, 2024.
Port Townsend Municipal Code Page2/3
concerns are not at issue or are a minor issue.
13. Application of the requirements of the engineering design standards manual as applied to a particular
development would conflict with goals and policies of the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan.
14. It is determined that development of the property will create impacts which can only be later mitigated
through construction of an area-wide or neighborhood improvement and it would be unreasonable to require the
full improvement as a condition of the development.
15. It is determined that the street frontage improvements required in the engineering design standards manual
could best be accomplished by construction of area-wide improvements at a future date.
16. It is determined that requiring paving of an existing substandard street would be unreasonable because of
the limited impacts caused by the proposed development.
17. It is determined that private streets or access easements can provide necessary vehicular access, including
emergency vehicle access.
18. It is determined that emergency vehicle access is otherwise adequate.
C. Any waivers from the engineering requirement under this section do not exempt the developer from submitting
plans which meet all other applicable specifications contained in the engineering design standards manual.
D. Application Requirements. The application for a waiver or modifications of the above listed standards shall be by
written request to the city and shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable filing fee in the amount set forth by council
resolution. The application shall be made on a form provided by the city. The application shall specify which
requirement(s) of this chapter and the engineering design standards manual are at issue and which of the condition(s)
listed above can be met. It shall also contain a statement as to why the deviation from the required standards is
necessary and why the waiver or modification sought will not harm or will be beneficial to the general public.

council resolution.
F. Authority to Condition. The public works director may, in his or her discretion, condition the granting of the
modification or waiver on the property owner(s) signing of a no-protest agreement to future formation of an LID or
RID, as further set forth in PTMC 12.04.140N. (Ord. 3051 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 2578 § 1, 1997).
12.04.170 Variances.
A. Authority to Grant Variance. The public works director shall have the authority, under limited circumstances, to
grant a variance from the requirements of this chapter; provided, however, that all variances under PTMC Titles 17
and 18 shall be processed and decided under the requirements of those titles.

Port Townsend Municipal Code Page3/3
D. Criteria. A variance may be from all or part of the requirements of this chapter, may require other standards to be
satisfied by the applicant, and may be subject to any conditions which the public works director deems necessary to
carry out the purpose and intent of this title in the public interest, safety and welfare. In making his or her
determination, the public works director may grant a variance only upon specific written findings of fact and
conclusions showing that all of the following conditions exist:
1. The variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of
other properties in the vicinity and zoning district in which the subject property is located; and
2. The variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location
or surroundings of the subject property, to provide it with use rights and privileges permitted to other properties
in the vicinity and in the zoning district in which the subject property is located; and
3. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the
property or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the subject property is located; and
4. The special circumstances of the subject property make the strict enforcement of the provisions of this title
an unnecessary hardship to the property owner; and
5. The special circumstances of the subject property are not the result of the actions of the applicant; and

20.01.010 Purpose and definitions.
A.!Purpose. In enacting this chapter, the city council intends to establish a mechanism for implementing the
provisions of Chapter 36.70B RCW (the Regulatory Reform Act) regarding compliance, conformity, and
opted comprehensive plan and development regulations. In
order to achieve this purpose, the city council finds that:
1.!Given the extensive investment that public agencies and a broad spectrum of the public are making and will
continue to make in the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan and development regulations, it is essential
that project review start from the fundamental land use planning choices made in the comprehensive plan
and regulations. If the applicable regulations or plan identify the type of land use, specify residential
density, and identify and provide for funding of public facilities needed to serve the proposed development
and site, these decisions at minimum provide the foundation for further project review unless there is a
question of code interpretation. The project review process, including the environmental review process
under Chapter 43.21C RCW and the consideration of consistency, should start from this point and should
not reanalyze these land use planning decisions in making a permit decision, unless the city finds that the
plan and development regulations do not fully foresee site-specific issues and impacts identified through
land use project application review.
2.!Comprehensive plans and development regulations adopted by the city under Chapter 36.70A RCW (the
Growth Management Act), subarea plans, and environmental policies, laws and rules adopted by the city,
the state, and the federal government address a wide range of environmental subjects and impacts. These
provisions typically require environmental studies and contain specific standards to address various impacts
associated with a proposed development, such as building size and location, drainage, transportation
requirements, and protection of environmentally sensitive areas. When the city applies these existing

avoided or otherwise mitigated. Through the integrated project review process described in this chapter, the
director of the planning and community development department (PCD) will determine whether existing

record established at the open record hearing.
4.! means a project that involves two or more permits or procedures that an
applicant has opted to have processed collectively. Applications processed using consolidated permit
review shall be processed collectively under the highest numbered procedure required for any part of the
application, except for where otherwise specified within this Chapter.
4.5.!Days. All days shall be calendar days. Days shall be measured successively. Should the end of a specified
time period fall on a weekend or holiday, the end of the next successive business day shall be considered to
be the effective end date. In the event of a conflict with other methods of measuring days within the PTMC,
the provision of this subsection shall prevail. End of the day shall be 4:00 p.m.

applications. If there is a question as to the appropriate type of procedure, the director shall resolve it in favor of
the higher procedure type number. If the provisions found in this chapter are in conflict with any other section
of the land use codes (PTMC Titles 17, 18, 19 and 20), then this section shall prevail.
B.!Optional Consolidated Permit Processing. An application that involves two or more procedures may be
processed collectively under the highest numbered procedure required for any part of the application or
processed individually under each of the procedures identified by the code. The applicant may determine
whether the application shall be processed collectively or individually. If the application is processed under the
individual procedure option, the highest numbered type procedure must be processed prior to the subsequent
lower numbered procedure.
C.!Decisionmaker(s). Applications processed in accordance with subsection B of this section which have the same
highest numbered procedure but are assigned different hearing bodies shall be heard collectively by the highest
decisionmaker(s). The city council is the highest, followed by the hearing examiner, and then the director. Joint

correct plans, perform required studies, or provide additional information shall be excluded from the time
period provided in this chapter.

magnitude of the revision, the environmental sensitivity of the site, any changes in location of significant
elements of the project and their relation to public facilities, surrounding lands and land uses and the stage
of review of the proposal.
2.!Lesser revisions that would not constitute substantial revisions during early stages of review may be
substantial during later stages due to the reduced time and opportunity remaining for interested parties to
review and comment upon such changes.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In 2023,SB 5290 made several changes to state statute RCW 36.70B Local Project
Review with the intent of streamlining local development project review. Amendments
went into effect in the summer of 2023, except for new permit time period requirements
which will go into effect on January 1, 2025. Part of the new law provided Consolidated
Permit Review grants through Department of Commerce.
In order to comply with grant requirements, jurisdictions were required to adopt a
resolution to issue final decisions on consolidated building permit applications within 90
days, establish a fee structure for consolidated permit review, and report to Commerce
status updates. The City thus passed a resolution to this effect.t
Unfortunately, the City was unable to execute a grant agreement with Department of
Commerce for the grant funds. The problem was that failure to comply with the timing
constraints in the required resolution could render the City ineligible for future Growth
Management grants and current workload precluded this aspect of grant compliance.
This was a good hedge as later in the year the City received a competitive $60,000
Growth Management Paper to Digital grant to digitize the land use permit process.
Now that the City is no longer participating in the Consolidated Permit Review Grant,
Resolution 24-018 must be rescinded to prepare to adopt different timelines in
alignment with SB 5290 statute amendments.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In 2023,SB 5290 made several changes to state statute RCW 36.70B Local Project
Review with the intent of streamlining local development project review. Amendments
went into effect in the summer of 2023, except for new permit time period requirements
which will go into effect on January 1, 2025. Also, in effect on this date linked to the new
law is a requirement to refund 10-20% of application review fees unless a minimum of
additional measures stated in law are adopted to help expedite permit review.
A minimum of three of the law’s listed measures must be selected to avoid permit
refunds. Refunding fees detracts from the City’s abilityto collect general fund revenue
to pay for review and inspection services provided and is counterproductive to the law’s
intent to streamline the building pipeline for housing. On January 1, 2026, the City may
be required to adopt additional measures if unable to meet permitting deadlines at least
half of the time at the next Comprehensive Plan update (2035).
Staff recommend adopting three measures. The first measure recognizes an on-call
contract the City already holds with Stantech for permitting assistance. The resolution
would authorize the PCD Director to use this contract with appropriate budget authority.
Currently, the contractor is an option for applicants who’d like to expedite a permit at
their cost. This resolution would expand its use with staffing changes or permit volume
increases at the City’s cost.
The second measure is similar; however, it authorizes the PCD Director to hire positions
with fluctuationsin staffing or permit volume and subject to budget authority. This was
chosen alongside the on-call contract to provide maximum flexibility to a Director. Some
tasks are ripe for contractors, whereas others are more suited for temporary onsite staff.
The last measure is a codification of Section 20.01.110 to require a meeting with
applicants to resolve outstanding issues during permit review, that would be adopted in
the code as part of Ordinance 3345. The resolution acknowledges this action so it can
be counted as one of the City’s three measures.
The City received a competitive $60,000 Paper to Digital grant to digitize the land use
permit process. Currently, building permits are fully digital; however, land use permits
are still reviewed with paper, which adds to storage costs, records liability, and has
review efficiency challenges. The grant will be used over the next 7 months to help
strengthen the City’s ability to expedite permitting and fully leverage land use permit
portal workflows.

Date Submitted: November 27, 2024

SUBJECT: Public hearing and the first reading of Ordinance 3344 Adopting the
Capital Improvement Plan for 2025 Through 2030

3-Year Strategic Plan: 4 - Ensure sustainable future for public services and facilities

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Background:
The Growth Management Act requires cities to adopt six-year capital improvement
programs at least every two years. However, many cities develop more comprehensive
capital facilities plans for budget planning and to share capital needs with the public. A
capital facilities plan is also a good way to look at the City comprehensively.
Capital investments typically are at least half of the City’s annual budget. Thus, capital
investments impact all City departments and divisions. Many City support systems
make capital investments possible.
This year’s Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is an update to the 2023-2028 Capital Facilities
Plan adopted by Ordinance 3301. This plan includes updates to a number of
spreadsheets organized by specific function area of the City. It provides capital project
narratives and summaries to help decision makers balance priorities based on available
funding as well as raise funding when necessary.
The track changes version of the proposed updated CFP for 2025-2030 was provided to
the City Council at the November 12, 2024 workshop. The documents and recording
are available at this link:
https://cityofpt.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=4&clip_id=3339&meta_id=234958
The track changes version was also used to accompany a Determination of Non-
significance for a non-project action issued on November 13, 2024. No comments were
received on this determination within the public comment period.
The document provided with this agenda report has accepted all the changes and ius
presented in final draft form. Staff made two updates to the document prior to issuing
th
for SEPA comments, but after the November 12 workshop. They included making
sure the Downtown restroom project was included in the narrative and making sure that
sewer service for Caswell Brown was included subject to UGA expansion.
The other change made to this version was to update Appendix A to exclude capital
budget sheets that will be completed in 2024. This CFP is consistent with the proposed
2025 Capital Budget. The work planning and budgeting process set the actual
expenditures in each of the next 6 years. Thus, staff is asking Council to focus on the
year 2025and consider years thereafter as contextin efforts to build out a more
forward-thinking and comprehensive vision and trajectory.
This year’s Capital Facilities Plan illustrates over $73 million in funded infrastructure
work and $133 million of unfunded infrastructure needs. While the progress in securing
funding is massive, the delta for needs is especially prevalent for street and non-
motorized infrastructure. Staff anticipate securing additional grants that may increase
the funded column total by approximately $10 million over the next 6 years.
The plans differs significantly from the 2023-2028 plan in the following areas:
1. The Transportation Benefit District voter approved sales tax, provides significant
funding for streets maintenance and grants match. This is now reflected in the
plan.
2. Since 2023, a fee in lieu program was adopted by Council to allow investment in
sidewalk or street infrastructure in locations that make sense and have nexus to
the proposed development.
3. The updated General Sewer Plan and accompanying rates adopted earlier in
2024 reflect significant funding in the City sewer system.
4. The updated stormwater rates also changed funding levels for the stormwater
utility.
5. A number of projects were removed, such as Discovery Road due to being
completed.
6. The Housing and Economic Development sections were updated based on the
latest information.
Staff is pleased to present the good work of the community, the Council, and various
departments in support of city infrastructure necessary to address failing infrastructure
and ensure the requirements of accommodation of population increases are met
according to the Growth Management Act. Based on the information provided staff
recommends City Council conduct a public hearing and consider adoption of the first
reading of the Capital Facilities Plan for the period of 2025-2030.

Management Act. The CIPshave been adopted coinciding with the budget process and typically included
funded projects scheduled over a 6-year period. These CIPs have included little detail regarding the
projects butserved useful as a capital projection for funded projects.
The Capital Facilities Planadopted in 2022accomplished the same purposeas previous yearsbut took a
more expansive and longer-term look at infrastructure needs for the cityby including unfunded projects.
The plan also provided a high-level narrative associated with each type of infrastructure need based on
how infrastructure is funded and categorized according to the requirements established by state law
and city codes.
The objective of this revised format is to build on the plan annuallyto create a continuum of
infrastructure developmentwhile clearly representing long term needs to the public in an abbreviated
form. This Capital Facilities Plan is an update to the 2022 planincorporating new information obtained
over the last 2 years as well as removing projects that have been completed or will be completed by the
end of year 2024. The Capital Facilities Plan is fully intended to be a living document with annual or bi-
annual updates to reflect changes in the City funding and planning landscape.
Introduction
The quality, availability and affordability of infrastructure is fundamental to the health, wellbeing,
success and sustainability of our community. With limits to funding based on the relatively small scale
of our tax base, we need to make strategic and, at times, difficult decisions about infrastructure
investment priorities. We do thisin the best overall interest of our entire community over the long
term.
The City of Port Townsend has a number of infrastructureneedsasidentified in various focused city
plans. Capital planning is the term used to identify the timing of infrastructure investment. Capital
planning for the replacement and development of new public infrastructure is acore governmental
purpose of theCity in providing for public health, safety, and welfare. The overall purpose of this plan is
to consolidate all infrastructure planning into a concise document to illustrate the overall infrastructure
needs and aspirations forthe community. This plan is intended to be used bystaff, policy makers,and
the publictodevelop effective and efficient $70 million in funded infrastructure and $133 in unfunded
need.
Another primary purpose of this plan is to comply with the stateGrowth Management Act(GMA).
The Growth Management Act, RCW 36.70a.600(3), requires a fully planning City to adopt a
Capital Facilities Plan Element that consists of: (a) An inventory of existing capital facilities
owned by public entities, showing the locations and capacities of thecapital facilities; (b) a
4
December 16, 2024
forecast of the future needs for such capital facilities; (c) the proposed locations and capacities of
expanded or new capital facilities; (d) at least a six-year plan that will finance such capital
facilities within projected funding capacities and clearly identifies sources of public money for
such purposes; and (e) a requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls
short of meeting existing needs and to ensure that the land use element, capital facilities plan
element, and financingplan within the capital facilities plan element are coordinated and
consistent. Park and recreation facilities shall be included in the capital facilities plan element.
This capital facilities plan draws upon other city planning documents included by reference and included
Examples of these plans include but are not limited to the Water
System Plan,General Sewer Plan, Six Year Transportation Improvement Plan, Rainier Subarea Plan,
Non-
website at https://cityofpt.us/citycouncil/page/city-plans. These plans are where inventories and
further detail can be found concerning existing city infrastructure. Periodically, the City updates the
Comprehensive Plan to address land use elements and other state requirements. In summary, capital
facilities planning is a component of the Comprehensive Plan and serves as a tool for a community to
strategically address existing and future conditions of the community while planning for growth as
required by the State.
The final purpose of this plan is to facilitate procurement of grants. Often, granting agencies will not
allow for the application of funding unless projects are specifically identified in an adopted plan of the
City. Some projects included in the Capital Facilities plan do not have a home in other adopted plans,
but are community priorities and may be emerging issues. These projects are included in this plan to
the extent that information is available.
Definitions
Capital
more and a useful life of 3 years or more. For the purposes of this plan, Capital is defined at having an
initial purchase value of $10,000 or more and a useful life of 5 years or more. This keeps most of the
repair and maintenance capital items outside of this plan.
Capital Facilities PlanThe term facilities
when included inside the title of the plan includes all city infrastructure and not just city buildings.
Comprehensive Facilities Assessmentmeansan evaluation of the condition and capital needs of the City
buildings.
Comprehensive Planmeansthe most recent version of the City adopted Comprehensive Plan as
required and identified in Chapter 20.04 PTMC.
Facilitiesmeanscity buildings for the purpose of this plan. This definition is notconfused with the
overall name of the plan.

Functional Plan
Comprehensive Plan.
Rate Studymeans a study utilized to establish rates for services. Rate studies are typically performed for
a five-yearperiod for utility systems to ensure sustainable operations.
SubareaPlan means an adopted plan with a focus on a specific area of the City that clarifies and
supports the Comprehensive Plan.
LevelofServiceStandards
A local government cannot determine what it will need in the future for public facilities and services
without knowing what levels of service (LOS) it must meet.To serve new growth and development, the
Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that certain facilities and services be provided concurrent with
expected new development using population projectionsfor the 20-year planning period or ultimate
build-out under the growth patterns established by the Land Use Element (Chapter 8, Policy 1.2). The
City's Comprehensive Plan requires, in the case of transportation improvements, a financial
commitment to provide them within six years.
Facilities that are subject to concurrency in the Cityare transportation, water, wastewater, and
stormwater. The Capital Facilities Financing Plan in GMA requires a municipality to reassess the land use
element if probable funding falls short of meeting existing needs.The Capital Facilities Plan is not merely
a wish list, and should account for meeting critical maintenance and planning for the density allowed for
in the Comprehensive Plan.
these facilities
per Chapter 8 Goals 3 and 4 are as follows.

These standards should then be applied to additional population and employment growth anticipated.
Jefferson County selected a medium population growth, which sets the 2045 growth target at 40,486.
The City of Port Townsend is allocated 40% of that population growth, resulting in 12,931 people in
20245, which is an additional 2,781 people from the 2020 US Census count of 10,148 people. The
Housing Action Planning Tool in the 2025 Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan to be updated in 2025
projectsthe 20-year housing forecast to add an additional 1,648 housing unitsby the year 2045from the
current count of 5,371 householdsfor a total of 7,018 housing units.2020 US Census counted 10,148
people and the 2021 WA Office of Financial Management estimates 2021 population at 10,220. The
2016 update projected a need of 55 acres over 20 years to support the high wage jobs projected.The
Rainier Street and Upper Sims Way Corridor is intended to provide this need with approximately 82.5
acres of fully served, shovel-ready industrial acreage.
Each development must meet the aforementioned level of service standards prior to issuance of a
building permit; however, it may demonstrate meeting the standards for transportation facilities within
six years issuance of a building permit (Chapter 8, Policy 4.1). The City may condition development
permits to provide for appropriate facilities, services, and utilities not subject to concurrency such as
EMS, parks, law enforcement, and schools (Chapter 8 Policy 4.2). A development that cannot meet the
minimum concurrency requirements can mitigate impacts on levels of service, revise to reduce impacts,
or phase the development coincident with the availability of services (Chapter 8, Policy 4.3). All
development must pay its proportionate share of the cost of new capital facilities and utilities needed to
serve that development.
Other public facility providers include but are not limited to Jefferson County Transit, East Jefferson Fire
and Rescue, Port of Port Townsend, Jefferson Health Care, Jefferson County PUD, the Port Townsend
School District, and Jefferson County. The City engages in partnerships with these other providers inan
effort to coordinate the procurement of limited resources.

FinancialConstraints(RevenueSources)
Most if not all governmental agencies experience financial needs for infrastructure that exceed the
available resources. This reality is a reiteration of the primarypurpose of the plan. As such, the plan is
organized by funded projects and unfunded projects. Funded projects means that the City either has a
revenue stream in place to accomplish the project, or has dedicated funds from a specified funding
source. These funding sources are often in the form of grants, loans, or use of reserves for one-time
investments.
Financial constraints means that projects are either funded or canbereasonably funded. For the
purposes of this plan, financially constrained projects are included in the funded portions of the plan. As
the plan develops over time, the objective is to hone financially constrained projects into the first 6
years of the plan.

CurrentRevenue Sources
Current revenue sources for infrastructure include the following sources. These sources are listed from
top to bottom from least restrictive to most restrictive as required by laws and city code.
General Fund, Fund There are four categories of fund balance: restricted, committed, assigned, and
Balance.unassigned.
Restricted Amounts reserved to specific purposes by their providers (such as
grantors, bondholders and enabling legislation);
Committed Amounts reserved to specific purposes by a government itself,
using its highest level of decision-making authority;
Assigned Amounts a government proposes to use for a specific purpose;
intent can be expressed by the governing body or by an official or body to
which the governing body delegates the authority; and
Unassigned Amounts that are available for any governmental purpose; these
amounts are reported only in the general fund.
Limited Tax General Backed by general fund revenues, the City Council can issue debt for
Obligation Bonds: infrastructure. The amount of Debt is limited by law and practicality. As
discussed above, debt takes away from operating funds and other capital funds
and thus use of debt is a strategic choice.
Transportation In 2023, the voters of Port Townsend approved a 0.3% Sales Tax increase for
Benefit Districtfor Streetsimprovements and repairs. The majority offunding is dedicated to
street repair, grant match, and non-motorized improvements as outlined in the
Transportation Benefit District fact sheets. This revenue source is estimated at
approximately $800,000 per year.
Banked Capacity:In February 2019, residents approved adding Port Townsend to East Jefferson
Fire & Rescue (EJFR) fire district. EJFR now collects the dedicated Fire and EMS
levies from City property taxpayers directly. In addition to the dedicated levies,
the City was funding fire service through the general property tax levy. The
City no longer makes payments from the general fund for fire protection. The
City agreed to suspend the collection of an equivalent amount of property
taxes it would have paid EJFR from the general levy a reduction of the City
district and a policy adopted by City Council spelled out an approach that
allows increased levies of the banked capacity over the course of four years.
For the first three years, funding is restricted to four main uses consistent with
utility tax relief. In 2020, the City decided not to levy any of the possible
9
December 16, 2024
$303,000 banked capacity given the dire COVID situation and its related
impacts. In 2021, the City levied $605,000 in banked capacity for use in 2022.
More about that process and corresponding documents can be found on the
2021 Banked Capacitypage in Completed Initiatives
requirement sunsets in 2023. Looking forward, much of banked capacity has
been invested in street operating associated with equipment and staff to
accomplish pavement repairs. The earlier funding dedication will be wrapped
up in 2025.
Real Estate Excise State law restricts REET 1 and REET 2, or the first and second quarter percent
Tax (REET)(.25%) of REET funds to the following uses: Planning, acquisition, construction,
re-construction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation or improvement of: streets,
roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals,
bridges, domestic water system and storm and sanitary sewer systems.
Planning, construction, reconstruction, repair, rehabilitation or improvement of
park and recreation facilities. State law allows REET 1, or the first quarter
percent (.25%) to also be used for: Acquisition of parks and recreation facilities.
Planning, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement,
rehabilitation or improvement of: law enforcement or fire protection facilities,
trails, libraries and administrative and judicial facilities.
Revenue BondsRevenue bonds are debt that is secured by dedicated revenue. Utilities often
use revenue bonds to pay for infrastructure backed by utility rates. Another
form of secured revenue are voted bonds in which the tax payer votes to
accomplish a certain projectand taxes are raised to pay for the public project.
Motor Vehicle Fuel In addition to Street Fund operations and maintenance this can be used for
Tax(MVFT)construction and improvement projects. The City has very limited amounts of
MVFT and currently it is all dedicated to operations. The majority of the street
operations is funded through general taxation resources and thus impacts the
general fund.
Multimodal Funds:These funds are restricted to transportation purposes.
Sale of Assets: Assets that can be sold generally include real-estate and vehicles. The City
owns considerable real-estate that is not currently dedicated to a specific use.
The real-estate is owned by the utilities and the general fund. If there is a sale
of real-estate, the proceeds must be used by the fund that owns the property.
For example, proceeds from the sale of property owned by the water utility,
cannot be used for general fund purposes. A number of properties have been
declared surplus by the City Council in the last 15 years for the purpose of
housing. These properties have not yet been sold.
Grants: Grants are very specific to the purpose of the granting agency. Grants are an
funded. In particular, grantsfund street projects on a periodic basis with an
average of over $1 million per year. Other grants for parks, historic properties,
energy, utilities, climate, hazard mitigation, and housing are also available to
the City.
Housing Tax:RCW 82.14.530 and 540 allow a city and county to impose a sales and use tax
up to 0.1% for housing and related services through HB 1406 and 1590. The
148 and 149 funds are authorized by RCW 36.22.178 and 179, which allow
10
December 16, 2024
counties to collect shares of revenue from document recording to fund
affordable housing and homeless housing programs. The CIty and County have
a joint Interlocal Agreement on administration of these funds authorized. The
City collects funds from HB 1406 and provides them to the county for deposit
in the 148 Fund for budgeting and allocation subject to the interlocal
agreement.
System Also known as SDCs, these charges for new utility connections help fund
Development system expansion for growth.
Charges for
Utilities:
Street Fee-in-lieuIn 2023, the City Council adopted a fee in lieu program to allow developers to
voluntarily contribute fees instead of building improvements. This program is
primarily directed at requirements to build sidewalks. The fee in lieu program
provides equity in transportation infrastructure and fees are used in places that
serve the development as well as the rest of the public. Fee in lieu investment
in sidewalks will be dedicated to creating connections where sidewalk gaps
exist. This plan documents fee in lieu collection and investments
Utility Rates: Utilities are enterprise funds that are specific independent business units
within the City. Utilities are required to set rates for services that ensure
payment for operations and capital to address system needs. This business
model is set forth to ensure essential public services such as water, sewer, and
stormwater are addressed.
Donations and Fund Fund raising by the public, volunteerism, and donations are all sources of
Raisingrevenue the city has utilized for capital improvements historically.
Library FoundationThe foundation has the opportunity to fund capital programs if in concert with
Library capital improvement needsand planning.
Quimper Parks and Created in 2024, thisfoundation provides an opportunity for the public to
Tree Foundationdonate to improvements in sustaining and growing parks and treeon the
Quimper Peninsula.
Future Revenue Sources
Future revenue opportunities are available to the City to address capital needs. Below are a few of the
more common revenue sources used by cities across the State. As the City looks toward financial
sustainability, additional revenue sources may be recognized and brought forward for consideration. In
2023, the City completed a Financial Sustainability Initiative to strategize stabilizing city government
finances recognizing that revenues typically do not keep up with inflation. The Financial Sustainability
Initiative evaluated a number of options to generate revenue necessary to sustain city services.
Depending on the success of these initiatives, the City may be able to enhance services identified in
various City strategic and functional plans. Fundamentally, the tax system in Washington State is set up
withgrowthas a necessity. Local Governments struggle to sustain services accordingly.
11
December 16, 2024
Transportation Benefit District: While the voters approved a 0.3% sales tax beginning in
2024, additional revenue capacity is available as authorized by State Law. The City could
add vehicle car tab fees to the voted sales tax at various levels.
Levy Lid lift: Voted property tax increase for specific purposes.
Sales tax: Several sales tax options are available for various purpose which are typically
voted.
B&O Tax Increase: Councilmanic authority to set B&O tax rates.
MetropolitanParks District: Voted opportunity for funding of parks through a property tax
levy.
Tax Increment FinancingDistricts: Councilmanic authority to establish up to two districts in
which increases in tax revenue is used to fund infrastructure.
Impact fees for transportation, parks, fire protection, and schools are permitted by State
law. Impact fees are currently not in place in Port Townsend.
Cultural Access Program: County wide votedsales or property tax to fund cultural access
organizations such as arts, heritage and science organizations.
Economic Development associated with expanding the job base, tax base, and creating a
city where there is more opportunity to live and work in the same location is a fundamental
challenge and objective identified in the Financial Sustainability Initiative. Economic
Development ranges from encouraging the development of apartments, possibly lodging,
and expansion of job creating industrial base into Glen Cove with necessary urban services.
Additionally, maximizing under utilized commercial and residential property with infill and
private investments 1% for the Arts:The City has
voted to include a limited number of general municipal projects that are subject to this tax.
The City could expand the definition of capital to include utility funded capital projects in
order to increase revenues.
Development Services Fees: both PW and PSD related
Fines & Fees: Councilmanic authority to implement or increase parking fees & others
Foundationsand Public Fund Raising: Foundation support, donations, and pubic fundraising
are all sources of capital. Historically, significant fund raising has been accomplished
through volunteerism. This can be expanded through strategic city support of fund raising.
Partnerships: Working with partner agencies to achieve mutual goals provides a great
opportunity for increased revenue for capital.
Marketing: Marketing the City through partner organizations forbusiness recruitment,
retention, and growthhas the potential to increase tax revenue. Sustained tax revenue
increases are typically used for operations to support increases in demands for public
service; however, one-time revenues or cyclic increases in tax revenue serve as an
opportunity for a source of funds for capital investments.
Existing Debt Summary
The City currently has significant debt in terms of revenue bonds, LTGO bonds,andvoted bonds. Debt
has a significant impact on the ability to pay for capital and debt services takes away from recurring
revenues. Staff recommends developing a debt strategy for the future to consider when debt is
12

appropriateThe following considerations
should be considered in the development of a debt policy:
General Obligation vs. Revenue debt
Principle, payoff date, and revenue sources
Term of debt should notexceedthelifespan of asset. Ie 20-year bond for 15-

CityCapitalPlanSummary
The following table illustrates the vast needs of the City by category. This table wraps up all the
following sections of the Capital Facilities Plan to provide an overall view of the challenges the City faces
in terms of capital needs. This is not an uncommon situation for most cities. Thisfirst-year draft of the
capital facilities planincludes approximate estimates for capital needs as a place holder where
information is missing. Examples include needs for buildings, the future of parks, wastewater, fleet,
housing/economic development/environment, and streets. Thesecategories are currently under
evaluation or are anticipated to be under evaluation in the near future to help provide more refined
estimates. Each section of this plan will identify where data is needed or currently under analysis.
Note: The funded totals for 2025-2030 does not include carry forward budgets from 2024. Many
projects budgeted in 2024 have not been completed and thus investment carries forward and will be
added to the 2025 budget through the first budget supplement usually in the first quarter of the year.
14
December 16, 2024
Facilities(Buildings)
This section of the Capital Facilities Plan is dedicated to city buildings, lands, and art. The term facilities
is confusing due to its name duplicated in the overall plan. This section is also applied to facilities which
are under the purview of the General taxation as compared to facilities that are directly tied to the
utilities such as the water treatment facility. Looking forward, facilities represents a significant public
investment. The City Council recognizes the liabilities on future generation of failure to proactively
maintain buildings and thus included in the 2025 budget funding for the development of a facilities
program.
Buildings
City buildings are a major asset of the community. City buildings also carry significant financial liability in
terms of maintenance and upkeep. A facilities assessment is needed to accurately identify building
needs and estimate time frames for periodicpreventative maintenance such as rehabilitation of roofs,
HVAC systems, carpets, elevators, weather protection, and other maintenance needs. The larger
maintenance projects are classified as capital investments and thus need to be included in the Capital
Facilities Plan. The following narrative describes each of the City facilities and includes known and
unknown placeholders for significant needs.
The City Hall Annex-Owner: City of Port
Townsend, 12,000 square feet renovation
was finished in 2006. Total construction costs
of $4,626,000. It sits at 250 Madison Street
quietly beside the stately 1894 Historical City
Hall in downtown Port Townsend. Their
adjacency is intentional; the Annex was
designed to seismically support the historic
structure, thus minimizing aesthetically
invasive upgrades to its façade. The Annex
design references the materials and proportions of its Victorian neighbor, including strong vertical lines,
tall narrow windows, and precast details. Close collaboration with the Port Townsend Historic
Preservation Committee resulted in a respectful yet modern new Annex and a sensitive rehabilitation of
the historic City Hall that included seismic and technology upgrades
15
December 16, 2024
Completed in 2021, upgrades to the front lobby included an administrative counter that consist of three
workstations to properly welcome and directthe public as they enter the building. The counter replaces
an existing conference room that was designed with the new construction. Additional wall construction
nd
was done on the 2floor to enclose several open workspaces making way for new staff members.
During the 2021 season, major rebuilds were done to both boiler units that provide heating totheCity
Hall Annex and Historical City Hallbuildings. In 2022, City staff completed acoustical upgrades by adding
noise dampening boards in the front lobby and workstation areas to lessen the reverb and traveling
echoes. As the building was not built with mechanical cooling, staff have been working to find ways to
limit the warming of the building during the summer months. New heat and sun reducing shades were
installed throughout the building along with the existing ventilation fans being converted to
programmable timers to correspond and run with the HVAC unit helping to remove warmer air as it
tends to stack up on the third floor. Also completed in 2022 was the City Hall Space Planning Phase II
nd
study. This study lookedat reconfiguring the 2floor conference admin room with renovations,
acoustic controls,and office furniture on floors 2R and 3. Floor 2R and 3 were never finished with the
annex project in 2006. Now, after COVID and a changing work environment, these updates are needed
more than in the past.Phase IIIalso continues with HVAC updates.Major renovations of floors 2R and3
were completed in 2023with newly installed workstations, carpet, quiet rooms, interior paint,wall
murals,cabinets and acoustical panels. In 2024 staff completed a buildout of a 25+ person conference
nd
room on the 2floor. New furniture and carpet wereadded at that time.
Historical City Halland Museum-Owner: City of Port Townsend,
the 12,500 SF of building is located at 540 Water Street and is
currently operating as the Jefferson County Museum of Art and
Historyin addition to elements of City Hall. The City of Port
Townsend carries a 15-year lease agreement with the Jefferson
County Historical Society which is set to renew for an additional
15-year period on January 1st, 2023. On the first floor you will
find many rotating displays of art and historical artifacts along
with the original Fire Hall and Court Room from 1892.The second
floor consists of City administrative offices and a working City
Council Chambers that continues to hold public meetings on the
first and third Mondays of each monthand is the oldest Council Chambers in its original form operating
in Washington State. Originally the building was built with three
floors until around the late 1940s the third-floor roof was
removed due to deterioration and deferred maintenance,
making it a two-story building as it sits today. The city hall was
listed on the National Register of Historic Places, administered by
the National Park Service, in 1971. Land for the city hall was
purchased from Henry Landes in 1887. Voters in Port Townsend
passed a bond issue to fund a new $30,000 city hall in 1891.
Construction began in 1891 and finished on 02/1892, with space
allocated for the city administration and fire department, as well
as a jail and municipal court. City council meetings have occurred in a chamber on the second floor.
Architects Batwell and Patrick designed Port Townsend's City Hall, an eclectic building with some Neo-
Classical, Romanesque, and Queen Anne Style motifs.

December 16, 2024
In 2005, as part of the construction of the new City Hall Annex, contractors replaced the roof with a flat
rubber membrane. Much needed repairs to the exterior brick and mortar on the south facing and
waterward side as it begins to show signs of deterioration. The public elevator has experienced a few
major repairs and needs to be replaced in the next 10 yearsdepending on the outcomes of an
assessment. Most of the original single pane windows are beginning to fail as the glass thinks and
frames begin to break. There is no forced air or ventilation system in this building which is a concern for
the displays and the preservation of the artifacts. The need for soundproofing on the first and second
floors is of concern as the original wood flooring and lath and plaster walls do not absorb the acoustics
of the room. In 2023 the city invested in significant upgrades to the historical council chamber'saudio
and video systems. At that same time new furniture was added, and ADA accessto the chamberswas
improved.
In 2024 Jefferson County Historical Society was awarded a grant to upgrade and improve the ADA access
to the museum. Construction to begin in 2025.
Looking forward, minor upgrades are planned for improved ADA access and improved HVAC/energy
operations.
Mountain View Campus-7.6 Acres. Owner:
Port Townsend School District. Located at
1925 Blaine St, Mountain View houses many
nonprofit entities including the Red Cross,
Food Bank, KPTZ, YMCA, the ReCyclery and
New Image clothing. Mountain View is also
home to the City of Port Townsend Police
Department and other administrative
offices. The land parcels, buildings, and
facilities all remain owned by the Port
Townsend School District and are only
leased to the City for management and
operations.
Mountain View Pool and Park exist at the site of a former school, Mountain View Elementary. Mountain
View Pool is an indoor aquatic facility that is now operated by the YMCA and consists of a non-
competitive 20 yard
fitness, lap swim, open swim, and special events. remains in
effect until December 31, 2028, or until a new aquatic facility is completed and the current facilities are
demolished, whichever is sooner.Mountain View Park is anchored by a 1-acre fenced dog park, a
playground, open field, and sport courts for basketball and newly resurfaced pickleball court sponsored
by the Port Townsend Pickle Ball Club.
Beginning in August of 2009 the City of Port Townsend entered into a five-year lease agreement with
the Port Townsend School District for the property known as Mountain View Campus. In 2014, the City
expanded the lease agreement with the School District to 15 years with an option for an additional 15-
year renewal. This extension positioned the City to qualify for grantsand other funding opportunities to
17
December 16, 2024
invest in the buildings and grounds. With this change in place, the City passed a bond in 2015 for $3.6M
and received an additional $414,150 Community Development Block Grant through the State of
Washington for needed infrastructure and deferred maintenance improvements. Also, in 2015 City
officials determined that extensive repairs were needed to the Mountain View Campus. Phase I repairs
included the complete replacement of two giant propane boilers used to heat the pool and the rest of
the buildings aswell as the outdated HVAC system needed an overhaul. As well as the roof on the old
elementary school needed replaced. $2.5 million was spent between replacing the boiler units, HVAC
upgrades and the new roof on just one of the buildings.
The remaining funds from the 2015 bond and CDBG grant were used for the Phase III repairs. The repairs
included construction of an ADA ramp and new accessible doors that serve the pool restrooms and main
entrance to the buildings. Remodeling of Foodbank, Working Image, and Police station offices. Remodel
to include electrical, plumbing, and other interior needs. Phase III also included repainting of the
exterior of the buildings and a new fire alarm system.
On September 1st, 2017, the City of PT and the PTSD entered into 15-year lease agreement expiring on
August 31, 2032. With this agreement it was determined that the sub-lease agreements the City has
with Dove House, Foodbank, and the Red Cross would be extended 10 years set to renew in 2029. In
2018, the City accepted a donation for the expressed purpose of creating a fenced dog park and
completed the effort in August 2019. In 2022 the Port Townsend Pickleball Clubraised funds to
resurface the Mountain View public pickleball courts, as well as adding new nets and posts. In addition,
the group is planning on adding a new playable fence to increase the quality of the game. In spring of
2023 pool staff(YMCA)reported the poolroof had leaked causing extensive damage to the interior of
the pool ceiling and walls. Further inspection foundthat the roof had reached itslife expectancy. In2023
contractors installed a special rubber coating as a temporary bandage fixto last another 5-7 years max.
Looking forward, the Mountain View Campus needs significant electrical and HVAC upgrades. The
original plumbing and wiring is a continual maintenance challenge and will ultimately need to be
upgraded.

BARTLETT/COTTON BUILDING 607 Water St.
built in 1888 by Charles C. Bartletwas a three-
story, one bay brick building. In 1889, the first
tenant was the Bartlett House, considered as
the focal point of the city. It had a saloon, wine
parlor, clubrooms, cigars, and sporting
newspapers. In 1932,Water Street Garagetook
overand then in 1939 Olympic Pile Driving Company office and later, the Cotton Corporation (George
Cotton) stayeduntil 1974. In 1955, GeorgeCotton removed the top two floors, which needed repair
after a windstormcaused irreparabledamage. The City of Port Townsend Police Department moved to
the site.
The Cotton Building renovation project had its genesis in the planning to relocate the Police Department
away from the Downtown Historic District waterfront and its associated tsunami and seismic hazards. It
was recognized that the Department had to continue to operate effectively during an emergency event
that may otherwise destroy the Police operations center and restrict access to/from the rest of the City.
The move of the Police Station raised the question of what to do with the Cotton Building. The historic
character of the building precluded its demolition so a plan for an alternate use was pursued, but it was
clear that the unreinforced masonry building needed structural improvements to make it safe for
continued use.
In 2010 the building was completely renovated for city, civic and community uses. Theproject was
funded through a 2008 City Council bond, along with funds from the Washington State Military
Department, FEMA and the Department of Ecology.The initial total project cost with construction,
design, overhead and technical support came in at$980K. Once constructionand demolitionbegan in
the fall of 2009 it became apparent that the condition of the building was far worse than anticipated.
Issues developed around therottingfloorboards, crawl space, lead based paint and additional asbestos
werefound in the ceiling, roof, floor and walls.Unknownuntil the time of demolition were four large
underground fuel tanks which were halffull at the time.
Outstanding repairs: Depending on the outcomes of an assessment, the rubber membrane roof will
need to be replacedin the next five years,estimated to cost $75K. Brick and mortar work on the
waterward side.

Golf Course-Owner City of Port Townsend-Leased to the Friends of the Golf Park.
st
On January 1, 2024 the City of Port Townsend signed a long-term lease agreement with the Friends of
the Golf Park. This lease agreement includes metrics and phases that are outlined in the lease
agreement.
The Port Townsend Municipal Golf Parkwas developed in 1904 and includes a regulation-length 9-hole
course, driving range, maintenance buildings, and clubhouse with a commercial kitchen for restaurant
services, and retail sales. The Golf Park, once privately owned and operated, was converted to a public
course in 1927 and first administered by Jefferson County but is now owned and operated by the City of
Port Townsend. The City leases the Golf Parkto a local business for management and operations. When
converted to a public course, there were deed restrictions on the property. There is a deed restriction
that the largest parcel will be used for municipal purposes only.
According to a recent study completed by the National Golf Foundation (NGF) in 2019, the NGF found
that the facility is challenged by its declining physical condition and somewhat remote location which
limits its potential market support. NGF has estimatedthat it would cost $935,000 -$1.2M to bring it up
to standard to attract more visitors and become a viable Golf Course. The upgrades would include
improvements to the irrigation system and pump house($735,000), tree and stump removal, purchase
of appropriate maintenance equipment($120,000), clubhouse repair, and course repair. Based on this
analysis, the City Council at the time decided not to pursue the recommendation because of the cost for
both the capital and operations.
Port Townsend Golf Parkhas historically used an average of 9 million gallons per year of treated drinking
water from the Big and Little Quilcene Rivers for irrigation. In 2002 Port Townsend applied for a ground
water right water of 150 gallons per minute with a maximum annual withdrawal of 34 acre-feet to
irrigate 35 acres of the city-

pump and controls were installed in 2022. The cost to develop the well was $450,000. The well will also
serve as an emergency water supply if the city's Olympic Gravity Water System is not functional.
Library-Owner City of Port Townsend
The historic Carnegie Library building is a jewel in the community. The library is themost frequently and
heavily used City facility. The Port Townsend Public Library was established in 1898 by a group of
"leading community ladies." By 1913 they had acquired the land, secured City funding, and received a
grant from the Carnegie Library Foundation to construct a new building in keeping with Carnegie
architectural design standards of the period. The Port Townsend Carnegie Library served its community
so well that a 4,500 sq. ft. addition was added in 1990 to accommodate the high volume of use that
continues to increase significantly each year. In 2014 a major renovation was completed. Click hereto

This beloved building is in great condition given its age. Nevertheless, several repairs are needed
including replacement of the HVAC system which experiences problems every winter season and the
anticipation of replacement/modernization of the elevatorcar. The addition of an ACand air filtration
unit would help address equity issues for the community during a time of climate changeallowing the
libraryto serve as a climate resiliencycenter.The annex part of the building is still waiting for much
needed window replacements. The bathrooms are also waiting to be remodeled. Permits and plans for
the windows and bathrooms have been issued and completed and the library is waiting to hear back
about a Department of Commerce Library Capital grant to help with the costs. Along with this grant,
funds from the Port Townsend Library Friends and Foundationand bond proceeds are planned for this
project.TheCarnegie building needs to be included in an overall building assessmentto ensure that
preventative maintenance is not overlookedin order to preserve this beloved community treasure for
another one hundred years into the future.

Charles Pink House-Owner City of Port Townsend
The Charles Pink House is a unique asset for the library. Constructed in 1868 in the Late Greek Revival
style of architecture, it is one of the last remaining houses of its kind in the state. Built by Horace Tucker,
who is known for building many of the oldest houses in Port Townsend, the house was purchased by
Charles Pink in 1874. The house remained in the Pink family for the next 92 years. In the late 1880s the
Pink family expanded the house, rebuilding the porch and adding Victorian bays. Near the turn of 20th
century, the house was once again renovated, with the original pillars and front doors replaced by
substitutes in the style of the Arts and Crafts movement that was popular at the time. These changes
made the Pink House a unique building architecturally in Port Townsend. Because it was difficult to peg
down as an example of a specific style, the house sat neglected for most of the latter half of the 20th
century.
The City of Port Townsend purchased the Pink House in 1981 for the purpose of serving as an expansion
to the adjacent Carnegie Library. Because of difficult economic times, the City lacked the funds to
rebuild the dilapidated structure. In exchange for a complete restoration of the building, the City gave a
long-term lease on the building to Little and Little Construction. After a massive renovation, the building
was leased out until 2003 when the lease expired, the City regained control of the building. It then
served as the administration house for the local fire department. The library took over the house in 2007
and uses it to supplement the Carnegie Library. First floor program and meeting spaces and second floor
offices give the library needed flexibility in offering services to the public.
In 2012 the Pink House underwent another renovation, this time focused on making the first floor
interior spaces better suited for public programming and meetings. The project included interior wall
removal and structure repairs, fireplace removal and chimney repairs, bathroom and kitchen
renovations, new carpet, paint, flexible furniture and technology systems for presentations. 2018/19
saw the restoration of the of the rock retaining wallfronting Lawrence and Harrison Streets. Much care
was taken with this project by reusing the historic rocks from the original wall that fallen over the years.
23
December 16, 2024
The Pink House is listed as a secondary building in the Port Townsend National Historic district. A
secondary ranking indicates a building with moderate historical or architectural qualities which have
maintained good integrity. The Pink House has been a constant reminder to everyone who travels
Lawrence Street of the origins of Port Townsend.
Currently the exterior of the Pink House is in dire need of repairs. The siding, soffits, roof, porches and
trim all have reached their limits and are fading quickly in our damp climate. The library hopes to secure
funding through grants, donations and City support to continue the legacy of the Pink House for future
generations.

Public Works Shops-Owner City of Port Townsend
Located at 1818 Beach Street, this site houses the Public Works Department, Fleet Department, Storm
Water and Admin offices. The MainPublic Works Shop building features an attached open-air canopy,
storage mezzanine, automotive lifts, mechanics shop, and storage area. The facilities are aging and in
poor condition. Two modular units serve as office space. The City has explored in the past relocating
th
City Shops to the Water Treatment Facility located on 20Street. Relocation would allow for the
property at the current location to be cleared on surpluses for housing or another use. No further plans
have been developed, other thanwhen the Water Treatment Facility was constructed, space was set
aside for the possibility of relocating City shops. The next step in vetting a plan for relocation would be
to do a schematic design process which would quantify the space needs and provide a rough layout of
buildings while establishing an approximate cost estimate and ensuring feasibility.
The City of Port Townsend 2025budgetincludesschematic design of a Municipal Service Center that
would house our Public Works team (Feet, Streets and Stormwaterdivision, Water crews,and Parks and
Facilities team. This is a first step to long range planning for the likely relocation and construction of
new public works shops. If approved and successful, the current shop property could be redeveloped
into housing.

are addressed in the parks section of this plan. Properties owned by utilities that have improvements on
it are addressed in the respective utilities section of this plan. The remaining properties areincluded in
this plan as an inventory. Because property represents generally a non-depreciating asset, it is a source
of capitalfunds. Properties also carry liabilities of maintenance for weed control, vegetation
management, and camping control. The City created an inventory of properties suitable for affordable
housing as formalized in Resolutions 09-035, 10-024, and 15-018. A most recent acquisition of
property was made with grant funding for housing and is included in the housing section of this plan. Per
Chapter 3.44 Port Townsend Municipal Code, prior to surplus, the City Council should determine if a
property may be suitable for affordable housing.
without formal access to utilities and roadways. An inventory identifying 157 properties was performed
dating back to 1999. A current assessment of City property ownership identifying usable property and
those that need to remain in open space would be of value
resources.

December 16, 2024
Developing a pipeline of City property to support the mandated and community desires of developing
affordable housing is a key work item in 2025. In the next Capital Facilities Plan Update, the pipeline of
properties will be documented below.
Art
The Cityowns public art and also facilitates the display of art on loan. An inventoryof
collection is below. Installation of new art is generally funded by grants, through the community, or
through the 1% for the arts program. Chapter 3.50 PTMC establishes a public arts policy for the visual,
written, and performing arts. This chapter also establishes a funding source for the creation of art in the
amount of 1% of the capitalized cost of the project. Chapter 3.50.030 defines exemptions and
clarifications for how capital is determined. The primary factor impacting the amount of funds
generated through this program is the exclusion of grants, utility projects, and repair projects. Eligible
capital projects dedicate 1% of the capitalized costs to the art fund to be used for art or artwork as part
of the projects. A potential source for increased funding for the arts is to include utility projects within
the definition of capitalized costs.
Port Townsend also has a Creative District named by the Washington State Arts Commission in 2020.
The Port Townsend Creative District encompasses Downtown, Uptown, and Fort Worden with the intent
of supporting the creative economy.
an
Arts Commission was created through Chapter 3.50.050 PTMC. The Arts
Commission's mission,as an appointed City Commission,is to facilitate
public arts programs that enhance the cultural life of community
residents.The Arts Commission promotes and encourages public
programs to further the development and public awareness of and
interest in the arts and acts in an advisory capacity to the City
government in connection with the artistic and cultural development of
the City. Members are selected based on their knowledge and expertise with respect to the performing,
visual and literary arts.
In the PROS Plan the Port Townsend Arts Commission prepared a Public Art Plan adopted by the City
Council in 2019. The plan serves as a guide to sites for their readiness and appropriateness to site art.
Each site evaluated was rated based on: Readiness of location based on
current zoning and development. Viability and appropriateness for public
art. Each site was then rated either as a site ready within the short-term or
long-term or as not recommended. Sites can be re-visited regularly. Of 70
survey sites, the Public Art Plan identifies 26 that are suitable in the short
term. Beyond the site suitability each piece of art will come with its own
set of requirements around infrastructure, safety, maintenance and
security. The sites in the categories were notrankedin the plan. Below is a
list of the sites that immediately overlap with the inventory:

The purpose of a capital facilities plan for parks is to identify priority investments to sustainably
maintain safe and accessible parks throughout the City. In addition, it allows the City to accommodate
projected population growth in accordance with thegrowth management act (GMA) of Washington
State.
(PROSplan) is used as a guide to identify and plan for
these priorities. It is required to be updated every six years. The latest adoption was in March 2020.
The Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities Element provides a level of service for parks in two parts:
1.7.6 acres/1000 residents
2.Local service standards for equitable access, distribution and function as outlined in the PROS
plan.
A. Provide parks and recreation facilities within a 10-minute walk (approximately a half
Trust For score, about 68% of current Port Townsend residents
are within a 10-minute walk of a park. This objective would increase the percentage of
residents with equitable access over the Comprehensive Plan period.
B. Ensure parklands arewithin a 10-minute walk meets minimum standards for the park
classification.
C. Prioritize neighborhoods with higher concentrations of families with children or
seniors living alone.
D. Target filling of gaps in central and western city limits by 2036
From the current identified gaps in the PROS plan, the followingis a list of CFP projects that need to be
prioritized.
1.Land Acquisition, development of parks: central and western Port Townsend.
2.Trail connections, open space connections, trail improvements:
th
a.Near Fairgrounds 49and San Juan Avenue
b.Discovery Road West of Sheridan
c.SR20/Sims Way West of Sheridan
d.Improvements at Lary Scott Trailhead and better wayfinding from ferry.
e.City Watershed Connect to Olympic Discovery Trail
3.Improve amenities within trails
4.Kah Tai Lagoon Rehabilitation
5.Port Townsend Golf Course, Mountainview Commons concept planning and subsequent
development.
6.Master Plan for 35th street park and subsequent development
7.Improvements at Bobby McgarraughPark, including play and fitness, trails, restrooms, ADA,
upgraded
8.Connected trail loop
Projects that provide capacity at existing parks, allowing more people to enjoy Port Townsend Parks
include:
33
December 16, 2024
1.Improvements at Kah Tai Lagoon to increase passive recreation opportunities, improve existing
facilities andconduct habitat restoration.
2.Improvements to picnic shelters, restrooms, and repairs to slope erosion at Chetzemoka Park.
3.Longer-term improvements across the system to improve parks consistent with concept plans or
minimum classification standards.
Currently, the City has primarily funded its parks and recreation services through the Community
Services Fund, which includes revenues from property taxes, sales taxes, utility taxes, and transfers from
the General Fund. As the Community Services Fund also funds other City services, demand for resources
is competitive and may be constrained in the future. To mitigate the risk of constrained resources on
delivering parks and recreation services, the City is looking for ways to identify and pursue alternative
parks and recreation funding sources.
Note: this figure is taken from the PROS Plan. Utility Taxes indicates that they may be politically infeasible. However, utility
taxes are currently used for parks maintenance.

Utilities
City utilities of wastewater, water, stormwater, and garbage collection are enterprise activities within
the city structure. Enterprise funds must operateon a cost neutral basis. This means that rates are set
to ensure that costs are covered. Part of covering costs, includes investment in capital infrastructure.
Typically, utilities are infrastructure intensive such as with the Water Treatment Facility, Wastewater
Treatment Plant, Compost Facility, and miles of pipe. Typically, the City adopts periodic updatesto
utility plans and follows up with rate studiesto ensure that funding meetsprojected expenses. The
rates are balanced with the needs to operate the system and invest in capital. The Capital investments
included in this Capital Facilities Plan is based on the investments included and funded from adopted
rates generated from rate studies.
Waste Collection Services
The City currently contracts with Olympic Disposal to provide waste collection services. A new contract
went into place in 2020 and expires in 2030. The new contract includes rates that upgraded equipment
and individual carts. The services include pickup of Trash, Recyclables, and Yard Waste. No specific
capital improvements are included in this plan at this time. However, the City may want to consider the
following topics concerning waste collections.
The City currently leases Big Bellies for downtown at a cost of approximately $25,000 per year.
This lease includes maintenance and capital. Additional Big Bellies may be helpful in controlling
trash overflows as they include a solar operated trash compactor within them.
The end of Tyler Street at the foot of the Tyler Stairs is a problem area for waste collections. PT
Main Street and businesses often complain about the look and congestion of multiple cans. The
most effective solution would be to install a joint use trash compactor. This could be funded by
the City, Waste Connections, and the business owners. Typically they are funded bythe
businesses. The cost for a compactor is on the order of $150,000.
The City has numerous garbage receptacles throughout town. These are unique and decorative
and developed by a local foundry. These cans will need to be replaced or rehabilitated at some
point. Staff estimates that there is at least 5 years of life remaining.
Jefferson County is currently going through the process of planning for anupgrade to the
existing transfer station on Jacob Miller Road or new transfer station at a different location. The
city is a large user of this station and thus, there may be a request for city participation in
funding the transfer station. This could come in a cash contribution or through our contracted
tipping rate fees.
Olympic Gravity Water System
37
December 16, 2024
The OGWS, supplied by surface water diversions on the Big Quilcene and Little Quilcene Rivers, is the
sole source of supply for the city of Port Townsend and the Port Townsend Paper Corporation. Thirty
miles of transmission pipeline deliver raw water to the city and paper mill via Lords Lake and City Lake
Reservoirs. The City of Port Townsend and paper mill have a historical partnership dating back to 1928
with the mill being responsible for the operation and maintenance of the diversions, reservoirsand
transmission system. Negotiations for anew 20-year water supply agreement in 2021 continued the
thesystem but established a costof service
approach to funding operations and maintenance of the Olympic Gravity Water System as well as
funding capital replacement of the aging infrastructure. This arrangement is documented in a Water
Supply Agreement2021 (WSA)between the City and the Port Townsend Paper Corporation.
The 30-mile transmission pipeline is by far the largest
individual asset in the OGWS systemandis
approaching its expected endof useful life.
Approximately one thirdof the pipeline is 94 years
old whilethe remaining pipeline is between50-77
years old.
Assessing useful remaining life is critical for
budgeting and planning purposes. The first phase of
a comprehensive pipeline condition assessment is
currently underwayto:
Evaluate the soilcorrosivity
Condition of bothbutt and longitudinal
welds
Condition of the protective coating
Condition of thecathodic protection
systems.
This data will be used to help to inform the
replacement schedule of the steel pipelineas
outlinedin the Capital Improvement PlanSection C
of the WSAand the additional needs for cathodic
protection improvements to reduce corrosion and
extend the life of the pipeline.
The WSAestablished raw water rates for a five-year
period beginning April 1, 2022. Rates areper
thousand gallons ofusageisbasedon an analysis of
thecost of service over a 20-year period. Cost of
service includes a forward projection of operations,
maintenance, and capital costs. Annual revenue from
raw water consumption for the first five-year period
38
December 16, 2024
The
rate model will be updated every five years to establish rates for the following five-yearperiod. The
capital spending plan will be updated at the same time as the rate model. The rate model does not
contemplate that the city will issue any OGWS debt in the next 20 years and that any capital costs will be
paid from revenues received by the OGWS fund. In lieu of debt, the city will fund capital costs using the
capital sinking fund approach to build OGWS reserves to an amount sufficient to fund the capital costs
identified in the capital spending plan. The OGWS fund shall maintain a minimum balance of $2,000,000
to provide for emergency repairs.

Water
Periodically, the City adopts a water system plan update outlining the condition of the existing system
and planning for the future consistent with the a capital
improvement plan is outlined to project for the capital needs of the system. The water system plan can
https://cityofpt.us/citycouncil/page/city-plans. A general overview
of the water system is as follows:
Anultrafiltration membrane filtration system withchlorine disinfection treatsraw surfacewater to
drinking standards.After treatment,a5-million gallonreservoir and 1-million gallon standpipe provide
required storagewhile serving different elevations zones within the service area.The city maintains
approximately 110 miles of distributionpipelinesdelivering water to over 5100 service connections. In
addition,the city maintains over 756fire hydrants and 1800 valvesas part of the distribution system.
The priority for Water Distribution capital improvements during
this planning period will be the replacement of aging
distribution system waterlines. Funding will be significantly less
than what is ultimately needed for pipeline replacement at the
end of anticipated useful life. Focusing main replacement
activities on the sections of pipeline in the poorest condition
and on those that are known to have substantial leakage can
maintain the overall distribution system in a good serviceable
condition. Replacement of pipelines and service lines will also
be prioritized where street work is planned. The level street
improvements will impact the extent of utility improvements.
For example, a chip seal treatment is anticipated to last about
15 years, thus underground utility work would only be performed if the expected life of the pipe and
services lines is less than 15 years.
Water utility revenues fully support capital infrastructure and operations of water treatment and
distribution.Monthly base rates include a fixed operation and maintenance rate and a capital surcharge
based on meter size for waterservice inside City limits. The capital surcharge was adopted to pay for a
new watertreatment facility and 5-million gallon reservoir, which cost more than $24 million. Water
service for customers outside the city limits is based on the samefees at a 20 percent higher rate. Utility
ratesvaryonincome level, meter size, type of service and arebased on usageper 1,000 gallons.
The city also charges a water system development charge (SDC). The one-time new customer SDC is
determined by multiplying the total number of equivalent residential units (ERUs)based on meter size
for the service(s) to be installed. The city may allow deferral of payment of SDCs for a private or public
nonprofit organization which is developing or constructing low-income single-familyhousing units for
low-income individuals or families.
The financial health of a utility may be judged by employing four financial viability testsincluding
operating cash reserves. Reservesmust be greaterthan one eighth of annual operating expenses.
According to the DOH FinancialViability Manual, operating expenses do not include debt or capital
41
December 16, 2024
costs. The rate model shows the cityexpects to maintaina minimum of 60 days ofoperating expenses
each year over the 2019-2028planning period.
Water Distribution and Treatment
Wastewater
The City of Port Townsends wastewater handling involves 3 distinct areas. 1. Collection system,all the
pump stations and pipes that transport sewage to the Treatment Plant. 2. The Wastewater Treatment
Plantwhere the sewage gets treated and made safe to put back into the environment. 3. This wholistic
system takes wastewater generated in Port Townsend and returns the bioproduct of solids to the land in
Port Townsend and the surrounding area rather than exporting waste outside of the area.
The wastewater system has been developed over time to comply with the Clean Water Act and
stream is returned to the environment after being treated through an outfall to the Strait of Juan De
Fuca. In the last 25 years, the following studies have been conducted to inform capital investments in
the system.

that is projected to be 2038, for loading (BOD) that is projected to be 2029. This will also require us to
build additional clarifiers to handle the volume. At this time,rebuild the headworks buildingwill be
undertaken. Staffdoesnot see a need to change the office and lab facilitiesalong with the current
dewatering equipmentwhichis functioning well. Continuing proper maintenance extends the life for
the near future untilthe plant upgrade planningbegins. Future upgrades tothe chlorine contact basins
may be required toinsure sufficient flow capacity to continue to disinfect properly before the effluent is
discharged back to the environment. These are all projects that will need to be done in the not-too-
distantfuture,butoutside of the 6 year horizon. These projects could be moved to a closer date
depending on new regulations and the new Nutrient Reduction Permit that the Departmentof Ecology
implementedin 2023.This permit will be updated with new regulationsin each new 5-yearpermitcycle,
and we will have to comply with the new regulations and limits when they come to us.Soonwe are
going to be doing some maintenance work on our influent wet well andreplacing our non-potable water
pumps. We will also look at different ways of operating our ditches and air delivery to them in order to
meet new regulations,until loading requires major upgrades.The City continuesto work with Jacobs
Engineering, resource agencies,and Dearment of Ecology to come up with the best plan at the time for
upgradingour sewer outfall pipe.The updated plan also evaluated the collection system extensively and
recommended a number of sewer system capacity improvementsas well as rehabilitation work on an
annual basis.
Kuhn St House:
Built in 1901 the Kuhn Street house known as the WastewaterTreatment Plant office buildingwas an
old two-storyhome that has been converted to serve as office space. Major renovations include heat
pump replacementin 2019 and new roof was added in 2020.Outstanding repairs-Exterior decking
needs replaced along with siding isshowing signs of rot. Carpet and windows are also showing their
age.The Kuhn St House is separated from the Wastewater Treatment Plant by a right of way. The right
43
December 16, 2024
of way cannot be vacated as it accesses a shoreline of the State. The City may want to consider selling
the Kuhn Street House as a source of capital for the sewer system and use the proceeds to purchase
land nearby for future expansions. This question will be evaluated as part of the General Sewer Plan
update.
Wastewater Collection
The city maintains more than seventy-seven miles of sanitary sewer lines, has 120 manholes, 6 lift
stations, and 3 emergency generators.
and to keep it running efficiently as possible. The city is responsible for the sewer main lines and the
business/homeowner are responsible for their sewer service line, or side sewer. This runs from the main
line connection to the residence/business. Annual Maintenance: Each year, the Public Works crews
clean approximately 2 ,miles of the City's sewer lines. Cleaning is typically performed in the winter and
on an as needed basis throughout the year. Some of the lines are cleaned more frequently to keep them
functioning properly. The sewer lines are cleaned with a cleaning nozzle that is propelled from one
maintenance hole to the next using water under high pressure (1,500 to 2,000 PSI). The nozzle is then
pulled back to the starting maintenance hole. As the nozzle is pulled back, water scours the inside of the
sewer pipe. Any debris in the pipe is pulled back with the water. The debris is removed from the
maintenance hole with a vacuum unit. If roots are found, they are cut with a root cutter. The city cleans
and root cuts any problem areas one to two times per year. City sewer lines requiring a higher level of
maintenance are cleaned annually or semi-annually. Much of the aging sewer lines are clay and are in
need ofreplacing or relining. Sewer pipe retrofits can be done by using in-situ cast in place liners if done
before the pipe collapses. The General Sewer Plan recommendsannual investment in lining sewer
pipes. The General Sewer Plan rate study also includes the purchase of a camera system to provide
improved assessment of pipes that need to be prioritized for repair or replacement. The 6 year plan
includes repair of the Washington street damaged sewer pipe as well as the Water Street sewer
replacement. Additionally, upgrades to existing pipeline systems are planned to accommodate growth
in the Rainier area of the City along with the Mill Road Lift Station.
Wastewater Treatment
built it, and the operators who have kept it going since, the facility has not had to have any major repairs
and except for a new chlorine storage tank, we have not had to replace any of the major components
that make up the Treatment Plant. It has done an exceptional job of living up to its design and potential,
however, it is really starting to show its age. As
pointed out in the Jacobs report and showsin the
2024sewer plan there are some big areas of the Plant
that will need some attention very soon. When a
treatment plant is designed it is designed for a 20-
year life and we are currently beyond 30years. One
pressing area we need to look at very soon is our
SCADA system, or electronic communication between
different pieces of equipment, as you can imagine
there have been a few changes in electronics since
44
December 16, 2024
1990 and new parts for our system are not being made,so we must look at the used market to get
repair parts for what we have. That market will end one day. Many of the original pumps and other
equipment are still in use today, yet they are operating on borrowed time.In the next 6 years, the
General Sewer Plan outlines a series of Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrades to extend the life of aging
equipment. Most of these upgrades are not the result of capacity upgrades as described above, but
simply replacing worn out equipment. Rehabilitation of the influent wetwell, replacement of the
Supervisory and Data Acquisition system, and replacement of pumps and motors are all planned in the
next 6 years.
Compost
The Composting Facility was constructed at the same time as the WWTP. It was designed as a way for
The City to manage its own bio-solids and be a place for Jefferson County to have the required place to
manage septage that gets pumped in Jefferson County. The Compost facility has seen a few upgrades
since it was built but it is also running on the original SCADA system and still has a lot of original
equipment that needs to be looked at getting replaced.
The Composting Facility where three waste streams (bio-solids, septage, and yard waste) are combined
to make an extremely useful and beneficial product that we are able to sell to the public and use in
many areas around the City.
Jefferson County Health Department (who issues our compost permit) is looking at options of managing
septage from Jefferson County. The County funded a preliminary study as to best options for the
Compost Facility to be able to accept and manage double, (8000 gallons per day) what it was originally
designed to do, (4000 gallons per day). The County, in cooperation with the City , has applied for a grant
45
December 16, 2024
to be able to do an engineering study to determine exactly the complete details of what it will take to
expand the current facility to manage this increase. Once a direction is determined the County can then
apply for additional funds to design and construct whatever additional infrastructure will be needed.
The City will be supplying some engineering staff time to manage the project as it progresses forward,
the major funding will come from the County for septage expansion.
Revenues for the Wastewater system are derived from rates. As an enterprise fund, the system must be
a self sustaining business unit. In 2024, the City Council adopted significant rate increases to address
wastewater capital needs as well as operations. T
from past years based on the identified capital needs. The monthly sewer rate for 2025 is $71.60___
per ERU assuming 3,000 gallons or less per month. System development charges are also another
important revenue source. New connections to the system, pay $5,603 per ERU. A new System
Development Charge approach was adopted in 2024 to correlate home size to the charge amount to
incentivize smaller homes as followsand more attainable housing costs.
The following table illustrates a significant amount of funding already secured for capital projects. With
this level of funding, the rate model anticipated the need to issue low interest debt. Staff will be
evaluating various debt options in 2025 including the issuance of utility rate funded bonds.

the stormwater system and just a small amount of capital. Several investments have been made
recently utilizing economic development loans and grants. The Regional Stormwater Facility completed
in 2021 receives reimbursement funding as development occurs in the Rainier Subarea. The
reimbursements were establishedas mitigation fees by Ordinance 3267. The current rate for 2025 is
$22.01per Equivalent ServiceUnitwhich equates to 3,000 sf of impervious area. These rates increase
annually according to the rate study completed in 2024. In addition
to adjustment of the monthly rates, the rate study in 2024 included
the addition of a stormwater System Development Chargeof $1,470
and added an urban forestry fee of $0.50per monthper ERU.
Urban Forestry
Port Townsend has recently been awarded a$403,268.80 grantfrom the USDA Forest Serviceto create
-ever Urban Forestry Planand update its Tree Conservation Code. This initiative aims to
ensure that the city's growthespecially the development of affordable housingis balanced with the
protection and expansion of its tree canopy, providing a healthier and more sustainable environment for
all residents.
Why Trees Matter: The Multifaceted Benefits of an Urban Forest
Urban Forest, which provides a
wide range of benefits that directly improve the quality of life for everyone. These include:
Increased Property Value: Trees enhance the aesthetic appeal of the city and boost property
values.
Wind and Sound Barriers: Trees act as natural shields against strong winds and noise pollution.
Stormwater Management: Trees help manage stormwater, reducing runoff and improving
water quality.
Wildlife Habitat: Trees provide food and shelter for birds, insects, and other wildlife.
Environmental Impact: Trees help fight climate change by sequestering carbon, filtering the air
and water, mitigating heatwaves, and converting CO2 into oxygen.

Ensuring Sustainable Growth and Equity
environmentally sustainableand equitable. As the city develops more affordable housing, it is important
to ensure that residentsespecially those from low-income communitieshave access to green spaces
and the many benefits that come with a healthy urban forest.
By including goals for
create a more livable, sustainable, and resilient community for years to come.
Urban forestry fees will be used to support furthering the development of an urban forestry program
and the replacement and planting of treesto help mitigate the impacts of impervious surfaces on
stormwater.
The Stormwater System Development charge is based on impervious area to incentivize smaller
footprints of structures and impervious surfaces as follows.
Much of the stormwater investments are dedicated to the Streets and Collections maintenance efforts.
This crew addresses stormwater conveyance and storage through ditch maintenance and raingarden
creation. Work on this front is prioritized to accompany street maintenance work.
Beginning in 2029, the City anticipates becoming an NPDES Phase II community meaning the City will be
required to be permitted under the General Permit for Western Washington. Complying with these
permitting requirements will put additional strain on the stormwater utility. In 2023 a rate study and
plan for compliance with the General Permit will need to be performed in preparation for the first
NPDES permit cycle.
The following capital investments are based on estimates in the current rate studyas well as emergency
stormwater repair needs. The currentwas adopted for 5 years and runs out in 2029. Unfunded
estimates of future water quality grants are included based on funding becoming availableassociated
with becoming an NPDES Phase II community.

Transportation
Streets, Trails, and public right of ways serve numerous public purposes. Port Townsend has established
values for right of way such as to support non-motorized interconnected networks through the non-
motorized plan, open space, tree preservation, in addition to traditional uses for utilities and streets.
The
condition of City streets are very poor due to the lack of investments dating back to Initiative 695 in
which transportation funding from the State was severely reduced.
The City developed aComprehensive StreetsProgram intended to develop an investment strategy
balancing the demands for investments in the Streets and right of way networks.Note, that
they are often used for transportation purposes. With the development of a Comprehensive Street
program, the City is pursuing funding sources with the goal of increasing revenues by $1.5 million.
Additional revenue for streets was realized with a public vote in favor of a TransportationBenefit
District 0.3% sales tax. The voters approved this measure with nearly 80% approval. This new revenue
is estimated at $1,000,000 per yearwhich is slightly higher than originally projected. Given condition of
isvery poor, this revenue will help the City claw back to a good state of repair.
The Transportation Sectionis broken down into four sections to definefunding and how it is typically
allocated to streets.
Revenue for Streets Capital
The Transportation Benefit District yields approximately $1,000,000 of revenue per year. Revenues
disbursed by the State Department of Revenue are deposited in fund 111, entitled Transportation
Improvements Funded. These funds are then allocated to Streets Capital and Streets Operations for
various capital projects and street repair.
Real Estate ExciseTax(REET), can be used for capital only. REET is typically budgeted to support streets
and parks projects. Presently, about $675,000 is the annual average for revenue associated with REET.
A little over $510,000 is obligated to pay debt. This leaves approximately $165,000 per year to be
allocated to either General Captial or Streets Capital.
Grants make up approximate$1.5 million per year on average to fund street improvements.
Fee in lieu is results in revenues collected for transportation improvements that benefit the propertry
being developed. Fee in lieu is associated with development when the improvements required by code
make are better invested in locations serving both the property being developed and other properties.
Fee in lieu is most commonly associated with requirements to build sidewalk frontage. The following
table illustrates funds collected to date. These funds must be invested by the City within 5 years.

Fee in lieu actuals and estimates
Streets Maintenance
The city maintains over 81centerline miles of streets in the City Limits as outlined below.
City Streets (Excludes Fort Worden and Port, Includes Driveways in ROW):98.18 Miles
City Streets (Excludes Fort Worden, Port & Driveways in ROW):92.37 Miles
Paved Streets (Excludes Fort Worden and Port):83.41 Miles
City Maintained Paved Streets (Excludes Fort Worden and Port):77.85 Miles
Privately Maintained Paved Streets (Excludes Fort Worden and Port):5.56 Miles
SR 20:2.8 Miles
Gravel Streets (Excludes Fort Worden and Port, Includes Driveways in ROW):14.77 Miles
City Maintained Gravel Streets (Excludes Fort Worden, Port & Driveways in ROW): 3.52 Miles
Total City Maintained Streets (Excludes Fort Worden, Port & Driveways in ROW): 81.37 Miles
Maintenance of City Streets is generally not classified as capital as it includes pavement patching,
vegetation control, striping, plowing, sweeping, signing, lighting and more. However, how the City
maintains a street impacts capital investments in terms of rebuilding streets and performing major
repairs which then become classified as capital and demand a much greater level of investment. The
figure below illustrates how costs go up significantly at about a 40% drop in street quality or condition.
52
December 16, 2024
Typical Pavement Life Curve
One of the purposes of the Comprehensive Streets Program is to review how the City maintains streets
to lessen capital burdens later.
Presently all, street funding goes to the maintenance budget excluding a small portion going toward
debt service.
Capital purchases that will support streets maintenance includes equipment purchases such as a 10 CY
dump truck, a small roller for patching, and pavement hot box. These capital requests are in the 2023
budget proposalin the fleet section of the plan.
Pavement Rehabilitation and Preservation
Presently, the City does not have a sustainable funding program to
perform preventative work on streets. The only work done on
streets in the last few years has been associated with large grant
funded projects such as Discovery Road. Pavement preservation
includespractices such as chip seal, pavement overlays, shoulder
and drainage repair. Pavement rehabilitation means that the street
requires complete rebuilding or special treatments that are more
expensive than pavement preservation.
Street Improvements
53
December 16, 2024
Street improvements are defined as making improvements to the transportation system. These
improvements may improve mobility, facilitate ADA accessibility, improve safety, and address aesthetics
and stormwater runoff. The City is required by the State of Washington to submit annual a Six Year
Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP). Street improvements are identified in this plan in order to be
eligible for grant funding
needs. The STIP can be used to establish transportation minor needs such as pavement preservation
and small improvements such as traffic calming in addition to larger road reconstruction projects such as
Discovery Road. The Council adopts the STIP every July and therefore, it is included in this plan by
reference.
The following table is a summary of all streets needs as adopted in the STIPand projectedcostsfor
pavement rehabilitation and preservation.

Fleet(EquipmentRepairandReplacement)
In July 1974, the Port Townsend City Council adopted Ordinance 1712to establish an Equipment Repair
and Replacement Fund (ER&R). The purpose of the fund is to maintain, repair & replace City vehicles
and auxiliary equipment.The fund charges the appropriate department/fund annually based on
expenses incurred two years prior for maintenance of equipment. The fund also charges depreciation
for equipment based on an estimated life and replacement value to replacement of vehicles. By using
the Equipment Rental Fund, the City developedan efficient, streamlined and coordinated method of
dealing with vehicles and large pieces of equipment.
When equipment is upfor replacementor equipment repair costs become too high, the fundgenerally
has accumulated enough capital over its life to replace the equipment. Equipment may be purchased
earlier or later than initially scheduled due to the specific circumstance surrounding the equipment.
Equipment that is not replaced may incur additional repair expenditures, experience increased
breakdowns causing delays and become a safety issue for the City.
The City of Port Townsends Fleet Maintenance Division maintains over 100 pieces of equipment for ten
different departments. The Division provides multiple services including asset management, fleet
replacement planning and purchasing, vehicle specification, used vehicle sales and maintenance. Repair
work includes police cars, backhoes, dump trucks, pickups, mowers, portable equipment, welding and
metal fabrication. The Division also conducts repairs back-up generators at several facilities.
Replacement schedules for vehicles are influenced by industry standards, but are also based on other
variables. Vehicles are also evaluated in replacement based on classes of standard replacement, such
utility trucks (pickups) which are set up on a 15-yearreplacementschedule. The amount of replacement
dollars invested is tracked by fund in order to prevent mixing of utility and general funds.
In 2019, the City made a significant change to the replacement portion of the ER&R fund by removing
general fund vehicles from the replacement funding schedule. This move was made to save the General
Fund operating costsof paying for vehicle replacement. A full description of the change is included on

Given, general fund (ie police, parks, engineering, planning, facilities) do not have replacement dollars in
the fund and are not saving for replacement, the City is in the process of restoring the ERR program for
these vehicles. In 2024, the process began restoring the program with year 1 of 5 equal installments as
nd
outlined below. The 2025 budget includes the 2of 5 installments. This restoration process is utilizing
general fund reserves. Once all the installments have been made, purchase of general fund vehicle
replacements can begin. It is noted that some general fund vehicle replacements have occurred through
the ARPA funding. These vehicles are currently paying replacement and thus, the fifth installment may
be lessto account for these replacements.

December 16, 2024
Given the history of the fleet replacement policies, two tables have been created. The first table
represents fleet capital within the replacement programand the second table provides fleet needs for
departments outside of the fleet replacement program. It is noted that the replacement portion of the
ER&R fund does not have enough capital for upcoming replacement needsand thus includes an
unfunded section.

The purpose of the I.T. Equipment Rental & Replacement Fund (ITERRF) and the I.T. Operations &
Maintenance Fund (ITOMF) is to manage replacement and maintenance funds to ensure sufficient
monies are available when needed. The ITERRF and ITOMF are designated as Internal Service Funds with
three major functions. The Replacement function supports the process to provide for replacement of
assets. The Administration function supports asset and operations management. The operations
function supports maintenanceand intergovernmental activities.
During the budget process, the Information Technology Services Department will establish reserves for
the replacement of assets.
1.Replacement charges are generally calculated based on the estimated cost of each equipment
category, its useful life, and the anticipated replacement value. Replacement rates are
sometimes adjusted for special purposes. Departments will be charged based on the number of
devices. A calculation model shall be used to track each individual asset and determine the
appropriate replacement charge.
57
December 16, 2024
2.Replacement rates may be adjusted when the useful life of an asset is changed, or the cost of
the replacement asset is significantly higher or lower than the norm.
3.Assets acquired for service by means other than purchase (e.g. lease) will have a replacement
rate established like a purchased asset and will require Finance approval for replacement at the
time of acquisition.
The Finance Department and Information Technology Services Department will establish rates for
various operational costs and services provided by the approved budget of the Information Technology
Services Department. The ITOMF will be used to account for operations and maintenance charges.
1.ITOMF maintenance rates will be established to recover 100% of the actual direct and indirect
costs (e.g. Salaries, operational expenses, etc.). Rates will be adjusted during the budget
process and mid-year review based on the fund balance if revenue exceeds or is below needs.
2.Each department will be charged based on the number of pieces of I.T. equipment assigned to
them in the ITERRF, along with an allocation for citywide shared equipment. The allocation will
be calculated by the model.
3.Each department will be charged based on the number of units of specific software assigned to
them in the ITERRF. The allocation will be calculated by the model.Charges for citywide shared
software will be included in the charges for assigned hardware.

This section of the plan captures capital associated with infrastructure that is often part of a larger
community and regional program. These projects are often partnership projectsand tend to address
the most pressing social issues a community facesbased on local, state, national, and world wide
conditions.
The Funded list includes Evans Vista, Sims Gateway and Boatyard Expansion, Cherry Street-Carmel
Building housing project, golf course/Blaine Street parcel conceptual housing plan, and technology
upgrades for more timely permit processing.
Evans Vista is an area owned by the City southwest of Rainier Street and Sims Way that is intended to be
a demonstration project of mixed-use housing and commercial with a range of affordability pricing. This
project is both supported by the Comprehensive Plan Housing Element Implementation Strategy No. 8
and 9 as well as the Rainier Street Subarea Plan. In 2023 and 2024, the City used a County ARPA grant to
complete a Master Plan for the Evan Vista property for 319 new housing units and Pro Forma. In 2025,
funding will be used to publish a developer Request for Proposal and finish the subdivision approval.
The Sims Gateway and Boatyard Expansion will modify the Sims Gateway subarea to achieve several
goals: 1) improve electrical utility safety, 2) remove and replace nonnative tree species with a new
native tree standard 3) increase size of Port of Port Townsend boatyard thus expanding economic
requires review and modification of existing subarea plans.
The City and the Homeward Bound Community Land Trust entered into an agreement to deliver
affordable housing with the refurbishment of the Carmel building that was barged from Victoria, B.C., in
2017 to be a demonstration project as encouraged in the Comprehensive Plan. The City took out an
$834,000 bond in 2018 to fund engineering, design, permitting, and pre-construction costs and then
authorized a loan to Homeward Bound with anticipated repayment funded partly by the rent of those
units. The project was plagued with unanticipated challenges and Homeward Bound agreed to exit the
project. The City subsequently authorized the transfer of ownershipto another party, Bayside Housing,
to complete the project. Work was underway to proceed with the transfer, including advancing a
number of land use actions including but not limited to work on easements, right of way dedication and
permit review. Due torising costs of construction and labor, Bayside Housing determined they were not
longer able to take the project on. Since that decision in June 2022, the City has been working through a
number of possible options and scenarios. Those were debuted at the City Council workshopon August
8, 2022. The City Council authorized demolition of the Carmel Building in October 2023 because the
cost of remodeling the building was too high to prove feasible and the building was removed in
December 2023. City staff continue to work with adjacent property owners to adjust property lines in
order to prepare the land for listing, marketing, and sale. City Council will evalaute all offers based on
price and density.
The City and Jefferson County are working together to consider aUrban Growth Area expansion to
include the existing Caswell Brown shelter property. If approved, sewer service would be available via
the Mill Road Lift Station project. See the wastewater section of this plan for the Mill Road Lift Station
project and how it supports Evans Vista and potentially Caswell Brown.

In 2025, the City will be required to conduct a Periodic Update of its Comprehensive Plan. In 2023, the
Department of Commerce provideda formulaic grant of $125,000 once the City can complete its
periodic checklist and scope of work. This will not be enough to complete the project. Additional money
through ARPAallocation was used to hire a limited termlong-range planning position. The position
would assist with the Comprehensive Plan Update, managing grants, and would support housing policy
and other long range planning projects.The City also received a Middle Housing Grant of $50,000 to
make policy and code amendment recommendations as part of the 2025 Comprehensive Plan Update
that addresses middle housing initiatives aligning with HB 1110, which the City is not required to adopt,
but chooses to explore as part of its housing strategy.
Finally, in 2022 the City made investment to support technology upgrades to transition to paperless
permitting to enhance predictable timely processing, and to ensure predictability and capability during
the COVID-19 lockdowns and social distancing requirements. The City used ARPA funds to purchase Blue
Beam Revu licenses for staff to markup development documents as well as a laptop computer so that
the building inspector can update project records while in the field. Monitors to assist with digital review
were also purchased. In 2023, the City furtherimprovedpermit processing by purchasing an Application
Programming Interface that mergedBlue Beam markup with its Smartgov Permit database (where
workflow, documents, fees, and status are stored on a project that can be reviewed internally and to a
certain extent, externally. This automatedsome of the manual steps during project review. The funding
also was used for an inkjet printer so that the Building Inspector can post site notices on the fly without
returning to the office.
permits by credit card online in the Smartgov database. In 2024, the City received a Paper to Digital
Department of Commerce grant in the amount of $60,000 to transition its hybrid digital permitting
system to fully digital. The remaining permit types to be transitioned are land use permit, such as
subdivisions,that often are the first step in the housing pipeline. The grant completion date is in 2025
and includes a suite of customer training videos that teach applicants how to complete and submit
permit applications.
The City is currently behind on its Shoreline Master Program Periodic Review that was due in 2021. The
City obtained a $222,890 Department of Ecology Shorelands Planninggrant in order to complete the
plan, update the SMP consistent with SB 5290 changes in permitting timelines, and to speak with
waterwalk armoring, examining sea level risk target and protection levels. The work is intended to make
changes to regulations that enablethe appropriate armoring solution based on engagement and
engineering analysis.
This plan includes the addition of an additional Downtown restroom facility to be funded with Lodging
Tax and Sewer funds in support of economic development. See the Facilities section of this plan for the
project.
The City has been awarded two significant U.S. Forest Service grants for planning and development of
$403,269
towards the development of an Urban Forestry Planand canopy assessment, an amended Tree
Conservation Ordinance and Engineering Design Standards, community engagement, plan
implementation activities for education and planting events with the Jefferson County WSU-extension.

The 2025 Budget includes one-time funding in the amount of $47,000 to update the Parks, Recreation,
and Open Space (PROS) plan, to adopt it as a an appendix to the Comprehensive Plan, and incorporate
into a new PROS element. The PROS plan is due for update n 2026; however, an update in alignment
with the 2025 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update means the Plan would be valid for 10-years.
The City also received a $150,000 Climate Resiliency Grant through the Climate Commitment Act in
order to update the Multi-modal Transportation Plan into a new Active Transportation Plan and develop
a new climate resiliency element consistentwith new requirements in HB 1181.
Finally, the City received a Connecting Housing through Infrastructure grant for $128,237 for the
Olympic Housing Trust (OHT) Dundee Hill townhouse project. This amount provides $58,055 to
reimburse the City for the SDC and utility connection deferrals authorized for the 5 units. The remainder
of the grant reimburses the developer, OHT, for the construction costs to install utilities.
The Unfunded list represents community and Council support for 2023 Strategic Workplan projects.
Though currently unfunded, this list represents potential budget impacts so that the City can seek
various revenue sources such as grants. The list also represents action items and projects identified in
Some of the projects have received
significant partner funding or are expected to leverage coordination with other entities. For example,
the North Olympic Development Council was awarded funding through the Puget Sound Partnership
North OlympicPeninsula. Building on the 2015 Climate Change Preparedness Plan for the NorthOlympic
Peninsula, this project will establish regional adaptation and mitigation goals for the NorthOlympic
Peninsula and develop specific climate action plansfor local communities that integrate with the 2015
preparedness plan, local governmentComprehensive and Shoreline Master Plans and other relevant
plans. The project was drafted October 2022. Of the $170,000 funding, Port Townsend was amongst
fourother jurisdictions that received $18,000 for a sea level rise projection study. .This study will be a
critical resource to help identify and prioritizeand fundfuture capital planningprojectsthat improve sea
level rise resilience.

ImpactFees
If the City were to implement impact fees, RCW requires tracking of impact fees and annual reporting.
This section is a place holder in case impact fees are utilized in the future. An impact fee analysis was
provided to the City Council on in December of 2021 while adjustments were being made to the water
connection fees. The following table illustrates a comparison of impact fees to other cities. Impact fees
66
December 16, 2024
can be a revenue source for growth related impacts to parks, transportation, fire, and school public
services.
Note, in 2024 the City updated System Development Charges for Water, Sewer and Storm to $5,603,
$5,258, and $1,407respectively. This bringsthe City of Port Townsend to a total of $12,268. As
reported above, these fees are reduced to incentivize smaller housing and multifamily housing
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Housing Policy2.2.1of the City to incentivizefor low and
moderate income housing builders.

Conclusion
over time from a
Capital improvement needs standpoint. The Capital Facilities Plan is a work in progress designed to
coordinate with the adoption of the annual capital budget. The process of adoption is an iterative
process to develop a comprehensive overview of capital needs in order to balance investments with
available resources (revenue and staffing)as well as priorities.

Additional public restrooms downtown have been discussed for a number of years. In particular, a restroom facility toward the Ferry Terminal would nicely compliment the existing Cotton
Building Restrooms. Funding of restrooms is a shared between Lodging Tax dollars and Sewer Fund resources. The sewer fund is able to contribute to restrooms to support public health
and sanitation, while lodging tax recognizes the tourism benefits of public restrooms.Lodging TaxSewer OperatingArchitecturalProperty PurchaseConstruction Project Management Staff Admin

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.
RCO funding was not received and thus the City is utilizing General Fund reserves to complete the project.2023 Banked CapacityARPARCO Grant (Unsecured) - No match requiredGeneral Fund

The existing PW shops located on Beech St. houses the Public Works Department divisions of fleet maintenance, streets, wasteawter collections, storm water collections, and water distribution
crews. In addition, the parks maintenance and facilities maintenance divisions do not have adequate shops with parks based out of the old water barn on Harrison Street and the offices
locatd at Mountain View. This current Beech street site consists of older portable units that have reached their useful life expectancy and is undersized for such a large crew. The
site is also located in the middle of a residential neighborhood and the property could be better suited for housing. This first step in this project will be to hire a consultant to
develop a schematic design towards building a new Muncipal Service Center adjacent to our Water Quality site. Funds for this project will be split between the seven departments that
will operate out of this facility. Water DistributionWW CollectionsStormStreetsFleetFacilitiesParksSchematic Design Consultant Project Management Staff support and management Project

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

In the coming years the wastewater treatment plant will be too small to handle all of the sewage that the City produces. When this happens expansion is required to comply with the City's
NPDES permit. The first step in this expansion will be to build new aeration ditches and demolish the existing ones to make room for additional clarifiers. This is number F8 in the
Sewer Plan. In the near term there may be some changes to the current ditches to help with nutrient removal, that will need to be made.Sewer RatesFuture Sewer Bond or State Loans/Grants

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

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. This agenda report is for the second reading of this ordinance.
The City Council approved the first reading of this ordinance on November 18, 2024
after conducting a public hearing in which no public comments were submitted or
provided. The meeting can be viewed with the associated materials at this link.

Additional information is also available as follows:
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
February 20 Council Business Meeting. Rates were adopted to support the General Sewer Plan
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
. Additionally, information is available
https://cityofpt.us/citycouncil/page/agendasminutesvideos
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.

Staff Report Ordinance Included in Budget? Yes No
Contract Approval Other:
Public Hearing (Legislative, unless otherwise noted)
3-Year Strategic Plan: N/A
Cost Allocation Fund: N/A
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The purpose of this supplemental is to ensure that the City has budget authority for the items
listed here and any prior approved Council actions. The supplement also addresses variability
in expenses that occur around the year end. Many of these costs may need to be carried
forward into the 2025 budget. Staff recommends that the Council focus on the 2025 budget
which has a more accurate representation of end of year estimates and how that impacts fund
balance. The end of year supplement is to prevent overspending in a fund based on cash flow.
There are many reasons why supplemental appropriations are needed.
The timing of expenses across budget years requires the spending authority to be
carried forward.
Additional expenditures emerge as new information or activity occurs that was not
previously known or available when compiling the current year budget.
Increased costs due to supply chain issues, labor shortages and inflation factors.
Unforeseen emergencies.
Obtaining legislative authority for the proper management of funds in the general ledger.
Several increases to revenues were made to funds due to investment interest not originally being
budgeted or coming in higher than projected. We also received higher than budgeted Business
and Occupation tax and sales tax revenue in the general fund.
General Fund 010:
$8,800 Payments from cross jurisdictional training events hosted by City of Port Townsend,
$460,000 transfer to streets capital 305 for Discovery Road and other past missed transfers and
general fund overhead dating back to 2020 or earlier.
$62,068 transfer to general capital 301 for general fund overhead (3 years)
$10,000 transfer to Golf Course fund for chemical disposal
$190,000 for professional services for finance and attorney services
$15,000 increase to Salary and Benefits for City Manager annual performance evaluation
ARPA Fund 103:
$100,000 Appropriating remaining fund balance for Council approved projects
Streets Operations Fund 110:
$262,000 - Discovery Road transfer out from reserves. See capital budget sheets. This is offset
partially by general fund transfer in.
$150,000 – was approved by City Council for hot spot pavement repair. $15,000 is estimated as
the actual cost for transfer in from TBD fund 111.
Community Services 199:
14,744 – Facilities. Includes hand-me-down truck from wastewater, 2nd floor audio visual
electrician tools, misc. supplies.
$127,327 – Transfer fund 301 the Chetzemoka donation made to the City in 2022.
$12,026 – Fire alarm panels emergency repairs and boiler condensate pump replacement.
Approx. $30,000 to augment purchase of the Parks truck.
Golf Course 423:
$10,000 for hazardous chemical disposal
Water Sewer Operating fund 411:
No supplement due to a decrease in capital expenses. See 2025 capital project budget sheets.
Operational costs increase has been small this year with $64,000 for SCADA upgrades, leak
services for OGWS, turbidimeters, and the membrane supplier evaluation.
Transfers outs to capital fund 415 will come in below budget due to project delivery
Water/Sewer Capital fund 415: No supplement necessary as capital project expenditures are
lower than anticipated.
Water/Sewer SDC fund 495: No supplement necessary as capital project expenditures are lower
than anticipated
PW admin fund 540: No supplement necessary
PW Engineering fund 555: No supplement necessary. Note, permit fees are higher than expected
by approximately $100,000 due to Madrona Ridge.
OGWS Fund 417:
No supplement due to underspending capital. However, Paper Mill operation costs are
approximately $150,000 greater than projected.
Storm Operations 412: No supplemental is necessary as it was covered in the first supplement.
The City utility tax was budget approximately $63,000 low and thus needed to increase
expenditure budget accordingly.
The Storm rate model work of by FCS Group in the amount of approximately $10,000 was billed
in 2024 instead of 2023.
Transfer outs to capital fund 414 are coming in less than budgets due to project delivery
schedules.
Storm Capital 414: No supplement necessary. Capital expenditures are lower than projected.
Real Estate Excise Tax fund 135:
Increase budget for transfer outs for transportation project by $95,224. See capital budget sheets.
This will cover anticipated costs associated with street capital projects associated with Kearney
Street and Tyler Street.
For this supplement we did not go through the work to reduce expenses downward, we did that
through the 2025 budget, that is not the purpose of this supplement.
Refer to the 2025 budget book for fund balance analysis and if things change from the 2025
budget we will address that in the first quarter supplement.
Ending fund balance after the supplement is projected at a lower amount than is stated in the
2025 Budget Book. If the General Fund costs do come in this high we will still meet the reserve
policy, specific analysis was done to ensure this. Expenses are anticipated to come in lower than
projected in the supplement. If expenses do come in at a higher supplement amount, required
reserve amounts will still be met in each fund.
