SUMMARY STATEMENT: The Port of Port Townsend has developed a plan to expand the Boat Haven boatyard westerly near the Boat Haven maintenance shops. A study was performed in 2022/23 to address the need for additional boatyard space to support the maritime industry. A study brief illustrating alternatives are illustrated at this link. ,b.t Pse// ortofptecom \yr- ion- c. Pr tic:.:............... The City is a partner in this effort as it relates to stormwater management in the west end expansion area. The stormwater system drains Sims Way and Castle Hill and discharges to the westerly end of the current boatyard property owned by the Port of Port Townsend. The City and Port have been working together since the 90s to address the impacts of stormwater as documented in interlocal agreements. The illustration below shows the City stormwater system in the area of the project. The Port of Port Townsend is underway with addressing stormwater for the boatyard and Sims Way runoff is critical to fully addressing the larger stormwater management needs of the area. The Port of Port Townsend has an opportunity with grant funding to perform mutually beneficial work to develop a stormwater treatment best management practice (BMP) to reduce the impacts of stormwater on the Port property and to re- establish a failed outfall system to Port Townsend Bay. Port and City staff will provide a presentation during the workshop to illustrate the work proposal to meet the mutual objectives outlined in previous interlocal agreements. This presentation will provide an overview of the work in anticipation of an interlocal agreement among the City and the Port to memorialize partnership responsibilities. Staff anticipates bringing for an interlocal agreement either at the Feb 18, 2025, or March 3, 2025 regular business meeting for City Council consideration.

In this regard, we are prioritizing defining our scope of work and establishing equitable procedures that are both impactful and accessible. Emphasizing equity, access, and rights, the board seeks to ensure that our practices and procedures embody these values. This includes creating shared agreements within the committee, ensuring accessibility in agendas and meetings, and developing procedures to effectively address member comments. While we continue with this foundational work, we are proposing specific actions for inclusion in the city's comprehensive plan update. Using the EAR Charter (Resolution 23-027) as the guideline for our proposed focus areas, we specifically recommend: Ii &OX031F[N]AfA&*0107=001AF 100]:4:I_'1►�l�j�'!�`7:1�] YNdli�[�]►�!�`�iii 2. Serve as the resident advisory board regarding the following: a. Access to staff and the City Council for community members to raise concerns about equity and rights. b. Outreach and collaboration with the community, community organizations, and other jurisdictions, including maintaining a list of outside resources to assist community members. 5. Propose to City Council, and when directed, convene public listening sessions on difficult community issues and recommend equitable and effective actions. Proposal: Conduct community landscape analysis of equity. access. & rights efforts and projects. Collaborate with existing organizations and community members who are already working on relevant issues. This includes engaging with the comprehensive planning process and conducting community -informed listening sessions to understand community needs better. Additionally, this involves making surveys and future engagement events more accessible by promoting them through diverse channels and networks. Hosting these engagement and listening sessions will also help inform the development of an outside resource list to assist community members. f. Barriers identification and possible solutions for participation in City government and programs. Proposal: Identify barriers through community engagement, surveys, and listening sessions, and develop solutions to ensure meetings are accessible physically, digitally, and through translation services. This includes providing captions for Zoom meetings, translators for ESL (English as a Second Language) speakers, and sign language interpreters. Addressing these barriers will facilitate greater participation in government processes by diverse community members. 4. Formulate recommendations to City Council, staff, and other advisory boards regarding equity, access, and rights education, training, and resources. Proposal: Implement a Diversity. Equity. and Inclusion (DEI) organizational assessment to evaluate the current EAR landscape within city operations and identify areas for improvement. This includes DEI training for city council members, advisory board members, and city employees to foster a more inclusive environment. The assessment will help identify overlooked issues (blind spots) and inform EAR board recommendations for subsequent training and education opportunities. We kindly request that these proposals be considered for integration into the city's comprehensive plan update. Please let us know if you require any additional information or clarification.

G'tyofPort 4` Townsend ADMINISTRATION 250 Mathsarm Street, Suite 2 1 Port Townsevid, WA 9� 360.379.5047 1 www.cKyofpt.us PTAC2O25 Workolan - Analyze the efficacy of our 1% for Art program and City code, so that this mechanism can be truly effective in funding public art projects year over year, establishing PT as a city where public art thrives and can be enjoyed by all. - Protect Port Townsend's investment in community -enriching public art now and into the future. This requires close communication and cooperation with City staff who have the tools and resources to care for the City's art collection, alongside PTAC's guidance and expertise in best practices. - Continue the Poet Laureate Program including planning for 2026-2027. - Continue the Arts Awards Program and grow awareness of and participation in the program. - Continue the PTAC arts grants program so that it: o Has a measurable impact on an artist's ability to do their work and the public celebrates and has access to that work; o Enables underrepresented artists and disciplines to thrive in our city; o Is seen as an investment of the City's General Fund and community tax dollars impacting the social and cultural infrastructure of the city, equally as important to the future of our community as built infrastructure; o Connects strategically with other arts organizations initiatives and strategies, so that artists can leverage funding across multiple opportunities, giving our dollars greater impact. - Utilize strategy, data, and partnerships, especially the Creative District and the Arts & Culture Plan, to set a baseline for our impact and make measurable progress toward our goals that are bigger than what PTAC can do alone. 2/5/25 To: City Council From: Kees Kolff, Chair and Cindy Jayne, Vice Chair, Climate Action Committee Re: 2025 Workplan The Climate Action Committee (CAC) does not have a written workplan for 2025, but we do have written meeting minutes from our last meeting on December 11, 2024. Those minutes will be submitted to the CAC for approval at our next meeting on February 25tn The CAC's work is carried out by various work groups and their plans, as discussed at our last meeting, and are a good indication of our planned activities for 2025.

Please also consider adding unanticipated challenges or mistakes and subsequent lessons learned to carry forward into future years. This structure will be helpful in providing a more regular update of yourAdvisory Body's work to City Council and the community throughout the year. ACCOMPLISHMENT#1: Participated and contributed to the public participation process required for the periodic update of the City's Comprehensive plan. Measured by: Helping staff design and conduct numerous public events and information gathering activities to provide community input for the update of the Comprehensive Plan. Why it matters: Public input is a critical first step in overall process of updating the Comprehensive Plan. Mistakes made/unexpected outcomes from what you planned/lessons learned: Some time has been lost as some of the public has focused on specific issues rather than the issues that would serve the broader community. ACCOMPLISHMENT#2: Reviewed and provided initial comments and suggested changes to the Community Direction Statement, land use map, Housing Needs Assessment and land use goals and policies in the land use element of the Comprehensive Plan and the land capacity analysis. Measured by: Reviewed and discussed each document and policy in the land use element. Work in progress, final recommendations not yet forwarded to council. Why it matters: Recommendation of the docket to Council is a critical step in the periodic update of the Comprehensive Plan while familiarity with the policies and supporting materials is required by the commission to proceed with discussions and development of final updated policies. Mistakes made/unexpected outcomes from what you planned/lessons learned: It was not always clear to commission members the goals and reasons for our specific activities. ACCOMPLISHMENT #3: Emergency Housing and Shelter Facilities code development Measured by: Provided recommended policy language to Council. Why it matters: This is a critical need for a sadly growing number of local residents in our community. Mistakes made/unexpected outcomes from what you planned/lessons learned: We tried our best but we missed allowing warming shelters in the PI zone. i (0 fn U (6 cu cu cn 0 Y N N � C O O N 0+ 0 O Q (c6 Lo L 0 M Q O C-) � •U O U cn O O O O c6 cn vi N N CU O N j O M� L W E O E .cn cu > Q Q L -0 O (6 U O c cu cn — N n O N += O cn O O •� U � i cn cu w a � cn o u N U ti O � •.� U U � U O O bA bA bA :.� bA W H Q O W -- W O N n s O U O a bA p NO !� O N co U fl sti ^0 04 N a > =" ®04 ti U O U U F� O N rcl) 'IT Lf) City0f w Townsei City of PortTownsend PRTTAB 2024 Accomplishments Instructions: Please work with your staff liaison and Advisory Body colleagues to develop a list of top 3 — 5 accomplishments of 2024. Please also consider adding unanticipated challenges or mistakes and subsequent lessons learned to carry forward into future years. This structure will be helpful in providing a more regular update of your Advisory Body's work to City Council and the community throughout the year. ACCOMPLISHMENT#1: DNR and USDA grants funded; proposals were written by board members, City staff, CAC members (USDA), citizen volunteer (DNR). Measured by: Grants provide funding to develop an urban forestry plan, update tree conservation ordinance, purchase and plant street trees in west side street projects; remove invasives and add native tree species to two City parks, and enlist WSU for community outreach and engagement. Why it matters: We have been a TreeCity for a quarter century with no urban forestry plan; our Tree Conservation Ordinance is more than two decades old and needs updating in concert with future housing needs to address risks from loss of canopy (USDA grant). We will be working with high school students to improve two of our parks and engaging the next generation (DNR grant). Mistakes made/unexpected outcomes from what you planned/lessons learned: Both grants have taken much more staff time than expected to get started. Two USDA grants were consolidated into a single grant at passthrough agency request; DNR grant required clarification of tasks and outcomes in a format different from what was submitted so additional work was required. ACCOMPLISHMENT#2: PRTTAB facilitated the creation of the Quimper Parks & Trees Foundation (QP&TF) with the Jefferson Community Foundation as its fiscal sponsor. Measured by: Foundation is in place, building its board and funds and actively seeking its first project to add trees to our community. Why it matters: The Foundation provides a conduit for individuals and groups to donate funds for adding tree canopy and understory to our community. Although the Foundation is independent of the City, a member of PRTTAB serves as liaison to the Foundation. Mistakes made/unexpected outcomes from what you planned/lessons learned: Trying to identify a site for a highly visible first project is a current challenge. ACCOMPLISHMENT #3: PRTTAB subcommittee for Active Transportation Plan Update Measured by: First public open house for Active Transportation Update was a rousing success, with substantial public engagement (16 January 2025, PT Community Center). Why it matters: Alternative transportation modes are essential to the health of the community, and we need to know what people value and where they are best served with additional access. Mistakes made/unexpected outcomes from what you planned/lessons learned: 'Active' is a better descriptor than 'Nonmotorized'. Former Nonmotorized Transportation Advisory Board tried to change its name to'Active Transportation Advisory Board' several years ago and former staff did not allow the change at that time. NMTAB was disbanded, but could (and should) be reconstituted. City0f w Townsei ACCOMPLISHMENT#4: PRTTAB subcommittee for Land Capacity Analysis Measured by: in progress Why it matters: Outcome will help facilitate necessary decisions about zoning changes and open space needs for the Comprehensive Plan update. Mistakes made/unexpected outcomes from what you planned/lessons learned: in progress ACCOMPLISHMENT#5: PRTTAB Tree subcommittee Measured by: in progress Why it matters: City's street tree list was very outdated, with some listed species now recognized as invasive and with no recognition of the value/necessity of assisted migration to accomodate climate change impacts. Mistakes made/unexpected outcomes from what you planned/lessons learned: Old parameters for street tree planting (presence of sidewalk, width of planting strip etc.) were changed to root volume calculations for each species to better address tree survival requirements. Because the street tree list is extensive, subcommittee made a colorful brochure of a subset of genera for handing out to engage members of the public who are considering planting street trees. The brochure directs the public to the full list on the Urban Forestry site on the City website. Subcommittee wants to produce a Parks/Open Space list and an Shrub/Understory list as those are very different species than street trees.
