Yes No Contract Approval Other: Public Hearing (Legislative, unless otherwise noted) 3-Year Strategic Plan: N/A Cost Allocation Fund: 411 Water Sewer Fund - General SUMMARY STATEMENT: I.Overview: A second leak in the last couple of weeksin a welded joint of a 30-inch diameter section of the 1946 era OGWS Transmission Pipeline was discovered near 223 Aerie Lane on March 11, 2026 by Mill pipeline staff. Staff requested an emergency declaration and once received, hired Seton Construction to expose the leak. The leak was discovered to result from a failure of a repair band likely dating back to the 50s. The leak can not be repaired without removing the existing repair band. Staff made the decision to not remove the existing repair band based on the likelihood that the pipe would fail in a more catastrophic manner forcing a pipeline shutdown and potentially causing downstream property damage. Staff met with the downstream property owner to survey the drainage way where the leak water is flowing to ensure private property damage was not occurring. Staff issued a change order directive to the Mill to order and install an encapsulation repair fitting to install over the top of the hold repair band while monitoring the leak. If the leak changes significantly before the encapsulation fitting can be installed, then the pipeline will need to be shutdown, drained and welded. The anticipated timeline for the encapsulation fitting to be fabricated and installed is 1 week. 223B Aerie Lane Break – March 11, 2026 The leak is on the same joint as an existing repair band. Theleak is approximately 20-feet north of a previousleak with a temporary repair band. An engineered encapsulated coupler will be installedover the existing repair band similar to the one below which was installed over the 67 Southport Lane leak in 2025. An Emergency Declaration was granted on March 11, 2026,by City Manager John Mauro to facilitate the immediate repairs to the pipeline. See the attached email approval. This agenda bill serves as documentation behind this emergency declaration. II. Resolution Request: Resolution 26-xxx requests theCity Council Declare an Emergency and waive public bidding requirements for the repair of the OGWS Pipeline near 223BAerie Lane. City Council approval is required after the fact to formalize a Declaration of Emergency. III. Budget: Exhibit C –Rate Model and Capital Spending Plan, in the 2021 Water Supply Agreement sets the budget amount of $64,946 for 2026 to fund emergency repairs. The overall cost to repair is estimated at $100,000 which in addition to the February 27, 2026 repair well exceeds the emergency repair budget. A supplemental budget request will be made in the OGWS Fund 417 to cover all costs. ATTACHMENTS: A. Resolution 26-004 B. Declaration of Emergency Request Email dated March 11, 2026 CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: N/A RECOMMENDED ACTION: Move to approve Resolution 26-004 Declaring an Emergency, Waiving Public Bidding Requirements, and Ratifying the City Manager’s Approval of all Applicable Documents to Allow for the Immediate Repair of a Second Lake in the OGWS Transmission Pipeline Near 223 Aerie Lane ALTERNATIVES: Take No Action Refer to Committee Refer to Staff Postpone Action Remove from Consent Agenda Waive Council Rules and approve Ordinance ____ Other: This is a retroactive approval by the City Council for an emergency.

Yes No Contract Approval Other: Public Hearing (Legislative, unless otherwise noted) 3-Year Strategic Plan: Cost Allocation Fund: Choose an item. SUMMARY STATEMENT: The City Council has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to human and civil rights by enacting Welcoming City Resolutions, first under Resolution No. 16-054 on December 5, 2016,and most recently under Resolution No. 17-014 on March 27, 2017. The Welcoming City Resolution reaffirms the City’s commitment to human and civil rights and its policy that City staff will continue to serve all residents in a fair and equitable manner. In June 2023, with Resolution 23-07, City Council created the Equity, Access, and Rights Advisory Board (EAR Board)with new EAR Board members first convening in April 2024. EAR Boardserves as the resident Advisory Board regarding the following: Provides access for community members to raise concerns about equity and rights to staff and City Council; Conductsoutreach and collaboration with the community, community organizations, and other jurisdictions, including maintaining a list of outside resources to assist community members; Advises on issue resolution and informed feedback on proposed policies for staff and City Council; Serves as a standing task force to assist the City Council Culture and Society Committee in furthering equity, access, and rights in the City of Port Townsend; Review and update the City's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Statement; and, Identifiesbarriers and possible solutions for participation in City government and programs. Formulate recommendations on select proposed ordinances, resolutions, proclamations, plans, and procedures. Formulate recommendations to City Council, staff, other advisory boards regarding equity, access, and rights education, training, and resources. Propose to City Council, and when directed, convene public listening sessions on difficult community issues and recommend equitable and effective actions. Provide a forum for discussing equity, access, and human rights issues. Identify issues and provide City Council with feedback regarding equity, access, and rights. In spring 2025, representatives from EAR Board conducted a listening session with community members hosted by Jefferson County Immigrant Rights Advocates (JCIRA), with the Welcoming City Resolution translated to Spanish. JCIRA wrote back to the EAR Board after the listening session stating: “These recommendations are offered as additions to the existing Welcoming City Resolution (Resolution 17-014), which already lays a strong foundation for immigrant inclusion and sanctuary protections. The intent is not to replace or revise that foundation, but to build on it, ensuring that the resolution more fully reflects the lived realities and evolving needs of immigrant residents in Jefferson County.” Following this listening session, the EAR Board formed a workgroup to incorporate the feedback and propose edits and additions to the Welcoming City Resolution. At their November 13, 2025, meeting, the EAR Board approved proposed edits made by a workgroup of the Board and voted to have the edits reviewed by legal counsel and then City Council, which are summarized as: Ensuring consistency with the 2019 Keep Washington Working Act; Reaffirming the City’s commitments under the 2017 Welcoming City Resolution, including reaffirming the City’s commitment to not referring or reporting residents to federal immigration authorities during traffic stops, civil enforcement, or any other non-criminal interaction with City staff or law enforcement; Affirming that housing must be inclusive to all residents, regardless of immigration or documentation status and committing to working with local housing providers to promote inclusive eligibility practices; Committing to translating essential City communications into primary languages spoken by the immigrant community and where feasible, providing translation services; Reviewing zoning, permitting, and development policies to identify and remove barriers to local, affordable, and culturally inclusive retail and grocery access; Including immigrant residents and immigrant-led organizations in the development and review of City policies that impact public safety, housing, economic development, and community engagement. Where possible, supporting participation with stipends, translated materials, and interpretation services; and, Committing to considering immigrant experience in economic development, childcare access, transportation planning, recovery funding decisions, and addressing cumulative impacts of exclusion. The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed the EAR Board’s proposed amendments to the Welcoming City Resolution and further recommends edits to: Section A1: “The City reaffirms that no resident shall be referred to or reported to federal immigration authorities during traffic stops, civil enforcement, or any other non-criminal interaction with City staff or law enforcement, unless directed by a court order or judicial warrant”. This addition ensures consistency with state and federal law. Section E: The City supports comprehensive federal immigration reform that creates a pathway to citizenship for undocumented persons, including students who arrived in the U.S. as children under the introduced Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors ("DREAM") Dream Act of 2025. These amendments conform to the most recently introduced federal legislation with respect to this matter. It is a Council decision whether to take action on amending the Welcoming City Resolution based on the EAR Board’s recommendation. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Within available resources, City staff will take the following actions. A. The Port Townsend Police Department (PTPD) will not detain or arrest a person based on their immigration or citizenship status unless pursuant to a federal criminal warrant issued by a federal judge or magistrate. Consistent with Port Townsend Resolution 09-025, PTPD Policy Manual Section 409.7, and PTPD Policy Manual Section 412, the Police Department will not comply with, or assist in the execution of, administrative warrants issued by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agencies of the 1 The Effects of Sanctuary Policies on Crime and the Economy, Tom K. Wong, Center for American Progress, January 26, 2017, https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-effects-of-sanctuary-policies-on-crime-and-the- economy/, last accessed on March 12, 2026. Resolution No. 26-003 Page 3 of 5 Department of Homeland Security regardless of whether they are specifically delivered to the Police Department or entered into the National Crime Information Database. A1. The City reaffirms that no resident shall be referred to or reported to federal immigration authorities during traffic stops, civil enforcement, or any other non-criminal interaction with City staff or law enforcement, unless directed by a court order or judicial warrant. Local trust and public safety depend on clear separation between municipal functions and immigration enforcement. B. The City requests that the Jefferson County Sheriffs Office adopt written policies and procedures consistent with Section A above. The City further requests that the Jefferson County Sheriffs Office adopt a policy that it will not provide ICE or CBP agents with information regarding release dates of individuals detained in the Jefferson County jail, that informs all detainees of their right to refuse interviews with ICE and CBP agents, and honors this right for detainees who decline such interviews. C. The Port Townsend Police Department is focused on the safety and security of all our residents and visitors regardless of immigration status. The City will not enter into any agreement with the federal government that would allow or require employees, including the Police Department, to act as de facto immigration officers pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1101, Sec. 287(g) or to enforce any civil provisions of the Immigration and Naturalization Act. D. Because the City wants to encourage witnesses and victims of crime to report and assist in solving crimes, it will focus its limited law enforcement resources on criminal investigations rather than civil immigration law violations. Except as required bylaw, City employees, including employees of the Police Department, will not request information pertaining to immigration status or any protected class from any person seeking City services, or seeking to use City facilities, or during any other interaction with the City. No employee of the City will make any record of any person's immigration or any other protected class status except as expressly required by federal law. City Departments will review their procedures to ensure that they only collect information that is necessary to perform City functions or to provide services, and that this information is not used for any other purpose unless required by law. E. The City supports comprehensive federal immigration reform that creates a pathway to citizenship for undocumented persons, including students who arrived in the U.S. as children under the introduced Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors ("DREAM") Act Dream Act of 2025. F. City staff will continue to not tolerate harassment or intimidation of users of its facilities or services by other users or by City staff. Where appropriate, staff will refer such matters to the Police Department for investigation. The Police Department shall work with the community to ensure that City residents and visitors are protected under state and local malicious harassment laws and understand these protections. It shall proactively identify persons and Resolution No. 26-003 Page 4 of 5 groups who are likely targets for hate crimes to help them form prevention and response networks. It shall provide victim assistance where possible. It will investigate and refer hate crimes for prosecution to the City or County prosecutor where appropriate or will assist the victim in reporting the incident to the State Human Rights Commission. (City Personnel Policies 2.2 (Equal Opportunity); 2.5 (Anti-Harassment); Port Townsend Police Department Policy Manual Section 318, (Training, prevention, investigation, and reporting of hate crimes)). G. City staff will continue to assist residents and visitors who believe they have been discriminated against in the sale, rental, or financing of land to be used for housing in reporting instances of violations of state and federal laws related to housing to the Washington Human Rights Commission, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or other appropriate agency. (Resolutions 94-11 IA and 08-044). When considering entering into or renewing interlocal or mutual aid agreements, City staff will request that the agreement contain language consistent with this Resolution. G1. The City affirms that access to housing must be inclusive of all residents, regardless of immigration or documentation status. Rental application requirements such as Social Security Numbers, U.S.-based credit histories, or other formal documentation may serve as structural barriers for immigrant and mixed-status households. The City will work with local housing providers to promote inclusive eligibility practices that do not result in the exclusion of undocumented residents or their families. H. When appropriate, City staff will revise City documents and websites that refer to “citizens” to instead refer to “residents”. H1. In addition to revising language from “citizens” to “residents,” the City will ensure that essential communications—including emergency alerts, housing resources, and public meeting announcements—are translated into the primary languages spoken by immigrant communities. Interpretation will be made available at public meetings whenever feasible, and the City will work toward increasing bilingual capacity in public-facing roles, including through staff hiring, training, and interpretation support.” I. The City Manager will ensure City staff are trained on these policies. J. The City acknowledges that economic inclusion includes access to affordable and culturally relevant retail options. Many immigrant residents must travel outside of Jefferson County to access basic goods and culturally specific food, which increases exposure to immigration enforcement and places families at risk. The City will review zoning, permitting, and development policies to identify and remove barriers to local, affordable, and culturally inclusive retail and grocery access. K. The City commits to including immigrant residents and immigrant-led organizations in the development and review of City policies that impact public safety, housing, economic development, and community engagement. Where possible, participation shall be supported Resolution No. 26-003 Page 5 of 5 through interpretation services, translated materials, and stipends or compensation for time and labor. L. The City recognizes that many immigrant residents face systemic barriers to employment, transportation, childcare, and financial stability.

Yes No Contract Approval Other: Public Hearing (Legislative, unless otherwise noted) 3-Year Strategic Plan: 4 - Ensure sustainable future for public services and facilities Cost Allocation Fund: 411 Water Sewer Fund - General SUMMARY STATEMENT: In December of 2025, the City solicited Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from qualified engineering consulting firms to provide professional services for three distinct projects and On-call Engineering Services related to the Olympic Gravity Water System (OGWS) Pipeline. A. Hydraulic Model: This project will develop a comprehensive, calibrated hydraulic model of the OGWS Pipeline to inform the proper operation of the system and make recommend improvements to the existing combination air valves to improve system resilience, safety, capacity and proper operation. B. Engineering Planning Level Cost Estimates: This work will support the raw water rate model update by providing cost estimates for work anticipated in next 20 years with a focus on the next 5 years. The Capital Improvement Plan for the OGWS will be updated to inform the raw water rate modeling. C. Pipeline Condition Assessment Phase II: The first phase of the condition assessment focuses on the 10 miles of pipeline closest to the City. The second phase of work will incorporate the remainder of the pipeline and focus on additional information based on learning from phase I. D. Engineering On-call Services: On-call services provides for expedient and efficient engineering work as the arises. For example, the Big Quilcene apron repairs requires engineering services. Having firms familiar with the OGWS system and on call for technical support is necessary for operations, repairs, and preventative maintenance. Staff may use multiple firms under this approval to ensure availability and specialties are considered. Architecture and Engineering Services procurement laws require qualification based selection and cost may not be considered. The 2026 budget and carry forwards from 2025 is the basis for the following budget amounts. Council approved supplementals and future year budget in 2027 and beyond will also be the basis for this work. All funding comes from the OGWS Fund (417)and are approximated will come from the following projects. A. Hydraulic Model – Funded through Lords Lake project which includes pipeline work and through condition assessment, budgeted at$2.3 million B. Engineering Planning Level Cost Estimates (Rate Study Support) – A portion of the $130k budget for the rate study C. Pipeline Condition Assessment – Phase II – budgeted at $300,000 D. On-call Services – To be determined as needed. Supplemental will be required if not within existing professional services budget.

Yes No Contract Approval Other: Public Hearing (Legislative, unless otherwise noted) 3-Year Strategic Plan: 3 - Establish systems to support diverse housing options Cost Allocation Fund: 010-021 GF - Planning SUMMARY STATEMENT: Staff would like to present a short update on the Cherry Street property surplus effort. In short, not a lot has changed as staff has not had time to work on the property boundary line adjustments. However, staff wants to draw attention to the update provided on to Council on November 3, 2025. The agenda bill is attached for reference and the meeting can be viewed through the City’s website at https://cityofpt.us/citycouncil/page/agendasminutesvideos under the 2025 Council Archives Tab. Given the property must be used for a public purpose such as affordable housing as detailed last November, sale proceeds to pay off debt would not likely be available. Also given that the City will be looking at all of City property for affordable housing opportunities this year, staff is recommending that the Cherry Street property be included in such inventory. This should provide time to finish the boundary line adjustments. In addition, staff is foreshadowing the opportunity to develop a list of properties available for affordable housing that provides a somewhat fluid opportunity for housing providers to develop affordable housing. The City will be issuing a request for interest for Evans Vista which will continue to draw attention to the need for apartments and affordable housing. With more options available based on the new zoning, it is possible for more units to be developed on the Cherry Street property than anticipated in the past. In addition, non-profit local housing providers may be interested in the scale the Cherry Street property offers. No action is necessary. Staff welcome Council feedback and suggestions.

Yes No Contract Approval Other: Discussion Item Public Hearing (Legislative, unless otherwise noted) 3-Year Strategic Plan: N/A Cost Allocation Fund: Choose an item. SUMMARY STATEMENT: It has been some time since a Cherry Street property update; therefore, staff has prepared a briefing on activities since the last Council Briefing on August 19, 2024. Property line adjustments:The City is currently preparing a survey to effectuate lot line adjustment applications to clean up property lines consistent with past City Council briefings. This is so that the property is ready for transfer of ownership for housing. Staff have been coordinating with neighbors to rectify encroachments andorganize the property configuration in an efficient manner for future development. Zoning: The 2025 ComprehensivePlan Periodic Update and associated development code regulation amendments proposed for adoption would upzone R-II, where the property is located, from allowance of a maximum of 8 dwelling unit sper 40,000 sq ft to 32 units. This increase, along with outright allowance for a range of multiplexes, simplified unit lot subdivisions instead of Planned Unit Developments, and other changes may be added benefit to the achieving the Council’s goals of housing density and affordability on the property. Deed restriction: Upon research associated with the golf park deed, this property is subject to the same deed restriction—it must be used for municipal purposes. Legal review has provided that affordable housing is a municipal purpose. Property surplus: Staff will evaluate the previous surplus Resolution 17-021 which declared the City-owned property is surplus to the City’s needs based on findings and conclusions. Given that there is debt on this property, the City does not expect there will be any net proceeds. The accounting history is as follows: $150,000 bond $69,000estimated spent to support the project $81,000 approximate balance remaining Conclusion: Delays have worked in the favor of the City to achieve Council goals for housing. Change in staff recommendation is to move from listing the property from no restrictions to surplus property for the municipal purpose of affordable housing.

D Regular Business Meeting Workshop/Study Session Special Business Meeting Submitted By: Steve King, Jodi Adams Date Submitted: March 12, 2026 Department: Public Works Contact Phone: 379-5090 SUBJECT:Potable Water and Raw Water Rate Model Updates – Authorization to contract with Financial Consulting Solutions Group. CATEGORY: BUDGET IMPACT: ConsentResolutionExpenditure Amount:$100,000 Staff Report Ordinance Included in Budget? Yes No Contract Approval Other: Public Hearing (Legislative, unless otherwise noted) 3-Year Strategic Plan: 4 - Ensure sustainable future for public services and facilities Cost Allocation Fund: 411 Water Sewer Fund - Utility Billing SUMMARY STATEMENT: The City periodically updates utility rate models in order to set sustainable charges for service for the stormwater, water, and sewer utilities. The last rate model update focused on the sewer and stormwater utilities and was completed in 2024. This work implemented income-based discounts and affordable housing incentives relative to System Development Charges. The 2024 work also addressed city utility tax as a gross revenues tax and eliminated capital surcharges for both water and sewer. While these changes to rate structure impacted water rates, they did not fundamentally change the rate calculations for the water utility that were established in 2021. The last rate analysis performed for the water utility occurred in 2021 with an effective date of April 1, 2022 through ordinance 3281. Utility rates are codified in the Port Townsend Municipal Code under Chapter 13.05. The work in 2021 also established the raw water utility associated with the OGWS operations and the Water Supply Agreement with the Port Townsend Paper Mill. As background, staff provided information at the February 9, 2026 Council workshop. See workshop for additional information at https://cityofpt.us/citycouncil/page/agendasminutesvideos under the 2026 archives tab. In the presentation, staff outlined that rate models are the tools utilized to capture all the expenses necessary to operate a utility and then ensure the rates are set at a level to provide enough revenue to cover expenses. Utility rates are not a tax, but rather a fee for service. By law, utilities serve as self-sustaining business unit within the overall City governmental function. In city budgeting, these self-sustaining business units are called enterprise funds. A key take-away is that revenues from utility bills are not allowed to be used for other purposes of government and they must be set high enough to equal expenses. As stewards, of utilities, the City endeavors to operate utilities in a sustainable and cost-effective manner while ensuring compliance with their governing laws. The following components of services to be provided by FCS Group include the following: Assist with the separation of the water/sewer fund. Review the sewer rate model to ensure the existing rates reflect the fund separation analysis. No change in rates is anticipated. This work will simply provide the rate model consistency with the separated funds. Update the City’s potable water rate model and develop updated rates for Council consideration. Update the City’s raw water rate model and develop updated rates for Council consideration. Update the City’s System Development Charge for Council consideration Assist with sewer revenue bond issuance Review utility excise tax calculations and review deductions and exemptions. Assist staff with presentations and public process The process for updating the two water rate models will offer the opportunity for Council to address policies concerning customer class and evaluate trade-offs similar to what was done for the income-based discount within the allowance of applicable laws. The process will also true up actual revenues and expense over the last 5 years as well as include known capital expenditures anticipated by the Water System Plan and any evolving needs that have come forward. Finally, the rate update offers the opportunity to further the City’s Comprehensive Plan such as affordable housing incentives programs. Evaluating the impacts of such policy choices requires an up to date rate model to ensure the enterprise fund remains whole and financially stable. The rate study work outlined is included in the City’s budget through professional services in the water fund and OGWS fund. Given the scope of work includes other work to support work planning, there may be budget amendment required for work associated with fund separation and bond issuance. Staff is seeking Council authorization for the City Manager to sign a professional services agreement with FCS Group to update the City’s retail domestic water system and the raw water rate model along with other work outlined here.
