DEM conducts disaster preparedness education and outreach to the community, maintains readiness of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC); writes and updates disaster plans, including the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) and Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP); manages a cadre of disaster response volunteers; and broadlysupports disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. DEM has long been under-resourced to support such a broad mission, relying extensively on its volunteers and tenuous federal grant funding. As climate change increases the frequency and severity of disasters, federal disaster support remains in flux, and demand and awareness from the general public and partners for disaster preparedness activities heightens, the department is seeking ways in which to increase coordination and improve capacity. By reimagining the governance, organizational, and funding structures of DEM, we hope to build a system in which public safety stakeholders can identify needs (what we want to do);identify resource and funding gaps; determine ways to fill those gaps;and finally develop a path forward to build disaster preparedness, response, and resilience capacity through collaboration and unified effort. 1 WORKING DRAFT: last updated 5/14/2026 Options for DEM Support and/or Reconfiguration Option 1 -Status Quo DEM’s current annual budget of $247K is funded primarily through the county’s General Fund (GF), with about 15 to 20% funded through two annual grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). DEM staff consists of 2.8 FTE: one full-time Director, one full-time Program Coordinator (responsible for volunteer management and grants/finance), and two part-time clerk hires (limited to 69 hours/month). Each clerk hire is fully grant-funded; one works as a Public Information Officer, supporting DEM’s education and outreach, and the other as a Planning Coordinator, working to improve the EOC’s Planning Section and facilitating the Local Emergency Planning Committee hazardous materials review board. Pros: Continuing with this model would require no additional financial support from public safety partners. DEM would continue with its work as it has historically, relying extensively on volunteer support, with a need to carefully triage projects and focus areas with limited resources. Despite lack of resources, DEM has traditionally exhibited an ability to “do more with less” and would continue to do so, even though the need to do more has continued to increase. Cons: DEM’s volunteer network, while also one of its major strengths, constitutes a major weakness, as volunteer support can often be tenuous. Many of DEM’s volunteers are retirees whose overall reliability and commitment to day-to-day organizational work varygreatly. The county is currently experiencing a deficit in its GF budget, and although DEM is the smallest county department with a relatively small budget, further cuts may be necessary. Federal funding to support DEM’s two clerk hires and DEM’s outreach program are not guaranteed year to year. Option 2 -Emergency Management Advisory Council Many communities have established a council or committee to provide overall direction, prioritization, and feedback to their emergency management department and the collection of public safety partners that form the Emergency Operations Center Organization. Establishing such a Council would give key partners a more direct input mechanism into DEM’s activities and would allow for more holistic, community-wide planning as it relates to emergency management. Additionally, through participation via an EM Council, partners could provide financial support to bolster DEM’s capabilities based on priorities agreed upon by the group. One such example being additional staff to support interagency coordination and planning, or direct support for Emergency Operations Center readiness. Pros: More direct participation, feedback, and decision making around emergency management activities. Potential for increased financial support and capability for DEM, with the 2 WORKING DRAFT: last updated 5/14/2026 cost burden shared amongst partners. Would only require new/updated ILAs with partners interested in participating on Council. Cons: Yet another committee. Many potential partners/committee-members are experiencing their own financial difficulties. Does not immediately or inherently bolster DEM’s resourcing or capacity. Option 3 -Emergency Management Board (i.e., independent governance structure) Many communities have established a governance structure—related to but independent of the county government—to provide overall direction, prioritization, and feedback to and management of their emergency management department and the collection of public safety partners that form the Emergency Operations Center Organization. Establishing such a Board would give key partners a more direct role to govern DEM’s activities and would allow for more holistic, community-wide planning as it relates to emergency management. Additionally, through participation via an EM Board, partners could provide financial support to bolster DEM’s capabilities based on priorities agreed upon by the group, as well as financial, staffing, and/or in-kind support from member organizations. Potential seats in a governance Board for Jefferson County DEM include, but are not limited to, the following organizations: Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners, Jefferson County Public Health, Jefferson County Public Works, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, City of Port Townsend City Council, City of Port Townend Policy Department, Jefferson County Public Utility District No. 1 Commission, Port of Port Townend Commission, Fire District representation for Commissioners and Chiefs (TBD), Jefferson County Hospital District No. 2 Commission. Pros: More direct participation, feedback, and decision-making around emergency management activities. Increased “buy-in” through financial support and capability for DEM, with the cost burden shared amongst Board member organizations. Raises the possibility that a dedicated revenue stream for a new agency could be created, similar to how JeffCom is funded. Cons: Yet another independent governance Board. Many potential partners/committee- members are experiencing their own financial difficulties. May be challenging to establish. Moves direct decision-making away from Jefferson County itself. Implies the need to establish capabilities for a new agency—such as HR, financial management, etc.—similar to when JeffCom was created years ago. Option 4 -DEM merger with JeffCom 911 Like DEM, JeffCom 911 is a public safety agency that coordinates with key public safety partners in support of the community. DEM and JeffCom coordinate closely during EOC activations. As with the Advisory Council or Board concepts, many other communitieshave 3 WORKING DRAFT: last updated 5/14/2026 partnered their 911 and EM functions under the same organizational umbrella. JeffCom has an existing Board which would then in turn provide direction to both the 911 dispatch and emergency management activities under the new organization, without the need for a new/additional governing body. JeffCom is already partially funded by an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) through the organizations it supports, all of whom are key DEM public safety partners (law enforcement, fire). Pros: Leverage existing JeffCom Board and organization. Board can provide feedback and prioritization similar to Council without the need to create a new organization. JeffCom’s existing funding model can be used as a mechanism to provide additional resourcingto DEM, if desired. This move would allow DEM to focus primarily on its core emergency response functions and development of the EOC as an extension of JeffCom 911 dispatch services. JeffCom has in-house admin to support functions DEM staff must currently oversee, like grant and finance, freeing up capacity among existing staff. Cons: County’s support for DEM includes $247K budget plus indirect support (i.e., “cost allocation” and “cost recovery”) in facilities/information services support. Funding model for JeffCom would have to be revisited to account for DEM’s inclusion and for equity among participating partners. Several ILAs would have to be reviewed and updated or rewritten. JeffCom’s existing board structure may not adequately provide representation to DEM’s existing stakeholders or key partners; JeffCom Board may consider adding an emergency management subcommittee or other model to include representation beyond JeffCom’s five existing board members. Opportunities for Capacity Building DEM is mandated by Washington Administrative Code (WAC) and Revised Code of Washington (RCW) to maintain an active emergency management program and perform several other functions. Those requirements are as follows: WAC 118-30-040: Establish emergency management organization. Each political subdivision must establish an emergency management program and appoint a director. Per the WAC, "Emergency management program means a system that provides for management and coordination of prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery activities for all hazards." RCW 38.52.070: Maintain program for alert and warning "notifying significant population segments of life safety information during an emergency." This includes the Nixle text alert system, maintaining "Alerting Authority" status under FEMA for access to Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) (under Public Law 114–143 amending the 2002 Homeland Security Act), and communication procedures outlined in the Comprehensive Emergency ManagementPlan(CEMP or EM Plan). RCW also includes emergency authorities during declared disasters and requirements for Comprehensive Plan. 4 WORKING DRAFT: last updated 5/14/2026 WAC 118-30-060: Development of Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Each political subdivision must produce a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and submit an update to the state every five years. The plan must be tested by an exercise or EOC activation at least every five years. The full list of plan requirements is listed in the WAC. Our last CEMP update was approved by the state in February 2025. WAC 118-04: Registration of emergency workers and training mission numbers for emergency operations, including search and rescue operations. Facilitate claims and reimbursements outlined in chapter 38.52 of the RCW. WAC 118-09: To receive emergency management assistance funds, local jurisdictions must have a standalone emergency management department with a separate budget, at least one employee whose duties are at least half-time focused on emergency management programming, and must meet the CEMP requirements in 118-30-060. WAC 118-40: Establish a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) in compliance with the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (synonymous with SARA Title III). Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 through 5207: Update Hazard Mitigation Plan every five years for State and FEMA approval. Necessary for access to state and federal grant funding and disaster response reimbursement during federally declared emergencies. In addition, DEM’s other functions, essential to a robust emergency management program, the safety and well-being of the Jefferson County community, and the expectations of the stakeholders, include but are not limited to: Outreach and education, including regular informational presentations, training for volunteers and the general public, and All County Preparedness Day Plan development beyond the CEMP requirements outlined in WAC 118-30-060, such as development of a Comprehensive Evacuation Plan or Emergency Feeding Plan Training, development, and exercise to support the development of the Incident Management Team Management of an overarching volunteer program that includes Volunteer Emergency Communicators (VECOM), Neighborhood Preparedness (NPREP), Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), Disaster Air Response Team (DART), Help Equines, Livestock, and Pets (HELP), and the Grassroots Emergency Education Network (GREEN) Plan development assistance for community partners (Port Ludlow Village Council, Chimacum school district as recent examples) Through additional staffing, financial resources, or in-kind support, DEM can build capacity to support several outstanding community needs that have been previously requested or identified by stakeholders, but have thus far not been able to be addressed. Some examples include: Planning support and capacity building for City of Port Townsend-specific emergency management issues. Additional staff resources could work directly with City staff and the 5 WORKING DRAFT: last updated 5/14/2026 Port Townsend community to provide training for City staff, and build an emergency response structure and plan for the city. Climate change planning. A recent climate change summit for Jefferson County staff identified the need for a central coordinator to help convene stakeholders working on climate change resilience and to help coordinate work. DEM has historically only partially engaged in this work to focus on response issues. Additional staffing capacity would allow DEM to both engage further in climate change resilience work and potentially help lead/coordinate. Additional planning assistance for partner orgs. Many organizations require expertise and assistance performing organizational readiness assessments and continuity planning. Many other emergency management organizations/collectives, like the Clark County Regional Emergency Services Agency (CRESA), provide this service to stakeholder organizations. Additional training and development for Incident Management Team members. Many positions with the Jefferson County Emergency Operations Center are understaffed and/or are staffed by those with adequate training. Additional resourcing would allow DEM to improve capacity among IMT members, which would result in improved disaster response outcomes for the community. Integration with Related Resiliency Programs Several communities have recognized the dual importance of disaster readiness and response, and overall community resiliency. Community resilience includes a broad range of important work beyond basic disaster preparedness and emergency response activities, including but not limited to things like climate change preparedness and adaptation, food security, housing security,healthcare access, and community wildfire protection. Another consideration is whether DEM could be expanded or enhanced to integrate other local resiliency efforts into its overall mission, becoming anorganizing and coordinating entity for efforts across multiple jurisdictions and departments. If a new governance structure is developed for DEM, this new mission (or missions) can be prioritized and resourced by participating agencies. Snohomish County established the Office of Recovery and Resilienceduring the COVID-19 pandemic to coordinate recovery efforts, improve community engagement, and work alongside its Department of Emergency Management on issues relating to resilience. There are other models elsewhere that could be inspiration for structure change here in Jefferson County. For example, there is the Disaster Relief Mobilization-Community Resiliency Model (DRM-CRM) used in Santa Cruz, California. The Santa Cruz County Office of Response, Recovery, and Resilience features a mission that includes emergency management, climate adaption, and food resilience. 6 WORKING DRAFT: last updated 5/14/2026 Climate Change One local consideration is whether DEM could be expanded or enhanced to integrate other local resiliency efforts, such as climate adaptation, food resilience, and the like, whether in conjunction with the joint Climate Action Committee (CAC) or as the principal staff support for CAC. One outcome of Jefferson County’s recent climate summit was the recognition of a need for a principal coordinator of climate change work, both within county government and among the broader community. By adding additional capacity and rethinking DEM’s overall mission, a coordinator within the new office could have bring community stakeholders together to synchronize climate change work, either by transforming the CAC into a new entity featuring strongerpartnerships, or be serving as a dedicated coordinator for the existing joint venture. Housing One often overlooked aspect of community resilience is affordable housing. Housing represents a major component of disaster recovery, as communities rebuild following a major disaster and families look to return home after being displaced from their homes.Prior to a disaster, many local agencies struggle to recruit and retain members of their workforce due to a lack of affordable housing in the area, and the rising cost of housing continues to contribute to homelessness. Additionally, studies have showed affordable housing is a key aspect of individual disaster preparedness; for example, renters are often less prepared for disasters than homeowners, as they have less resources and incentive to store supplies or make improvements to their living space. At its score, safe, affordable housing acts as a foundation of economic and social stability. Similar to the issue of climate change, there have been calls for a coordinating entity to help facilitate conversations and guide collaborative work on the issue of affordable housing. This function could also live within a DEM office with an expanded focus and resources, guiding day to day work around issues relating to housing while also conducting planning and coordination around disaster response and recovery as it relates to damage assessment, debris management, and other housing-related disaster response issues. Food Security Finally, food security is another issue that is being worked on by a loose conglomeration of various groups, including the CAC, Local 20/20, Jefferson County Food Bank, WSU Extension, and others. DEM has worked with these groups specifically on the issue of emergency food response and distribution, but more work remains on developing a holisticplan for food security on the Peninsula. 7 WORKING DRAFT: last updated 5/14/2026 Agenda Bill: AB 26-073 Meeting Date: July 6, 2026 Agenda Item:IV.B Regular Business Meeting Workshop/Study Session Special Business Meeting Submitted By: Renata Munfrada, Housing Coordinator Date Submitted: 07/02/26 Department: Planning & Community Development Contact Phone:(360)-379-4423 SUBJECT: Evans Vista RFEI Briefing CATEGORY: BUDGET IMPACT: Consent Resolution Expenditure Amount: $0 Staff Report Ordinance Included in Budget? Yes No Contract Approval Other: Discussion Item Public Hearing (Legislative, unless otherwise noted) 3-Year Strategic Plan: Objective 3: The City will establish systems to support diverse housing options with perpetual affordability. Cost Allocation Fund: N/A SUMMARY STATEMENT: The City issued a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) for the Evans Vista Neighborhood development opportunity and received three proposals. This agenda item briefs City Council on each shortlisted respondent’s development concept, phasing approach, affordability strategy, and implementation framework. Related Northwest, Edlen & Co, and Coppertop Construction LLC each proposed a phased, mixed-income neighborhood supporting affordable housing, workforce housing, community amenities, infrastructure delivery, and long-term stewardship. The proposals differ in unit mix, Phase 1 strategy,schedule, affordability depth, team structure, and financing approach. Request for Expressions of Interest Evaluation Criteria.RFEI responses were evaluated under a 100-point framework focused on five categories: project team experience and capacity; site development concept; affordable and workforce housing outcomes; financial feasibility; and amenities or other community goals. The criteria emphasized Master Site Plan alignment, feasible Phase 1 delivery, long-term affordability, infrastructure and phasing readiness, financial capacity, and consistency with City housing and community development objectives. Shortlisted Firms. The Evaluation Committee reviewed the proposals for consistency with City goals, financial feasibility, implementation capacity, affordability outcomes, infrastructure strategy, and alignment with the Evans Vista Master Site Plan.The Evaluation Committee consist of nine members, including Amos Callender, Principal, Thomas Architecture Studios; Austin Watkins, City Attorney; Bob Collins, Director of Housing and Community Strategy, Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County; Emma Bolin, Director of Planning and Community Development; Eric Jones, Executive Port Townsend Municipal Code Page2/3 Director, Housing Solutions Network; Lizanne Coker, Executive Director, Jefferson County Homebuilders Association; Ryan Harriman, Planning Manager; Steve King, Director of Public Works; Terry McHugh, Real Estate Agent and Evans Vista broker. Based on that review, Related Northwest and Edlen & Co have been selected to advance to the Request for Proposals (RFP) phase. The RFP will allow the shortlisted teams to sharpen their concepts and submit refined, detailed proposals for Evans Vista. The RFP will further evaluate each team’s development approach, affordability strategy, site design, financing plan, infrastructure assumptions and feasibility, phasing schedule, team qualifications, community benefits, and capacity to deliver a complete mixed- income neighborhood consistent with City goals. Related Northwest. Related Northwest proposes to serve as master developer, long- term owner/operator, and project sponsor, supported by Scott Edwards Architecture, Walsh Construction, and GLI Advisors. The concept includes approximately 259 to 315 units, including affordable and workforce rentals, market-rate rentals, and approximately 16 for-sale townhomes. The proposal emphasizes higher density near the eastern gateway, garden-style rental buildings, western-edge townhomes, a central community building, open space, community gardens, trail connections, and arts- and wellness- focused resident services. Phase 1 is proposed as an approximately 75-unit affordable housing building serving households at 30% to 60% AMI, financed through Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, public subsidy, and infrastructure funding. Edlen & Co. Edlen & Co proposes to serve as master developer for a mixed-income neighborhood designed to exceed the City’s minimum affordability requirement. The concept includes 300 or more rental apartments and more than 20 affordable homeownership units, organized around middle-income apartments, subsidized affordable rentals, and affordable ownership. Phase 1 is proposed as approximately 140 to 160 middle-income rental units at the site entrance, with approximately 25 percent priced at or below 80% AMI for 50 years. Later phases would deliver subsidized affordable housing at or below 60% AMI and affordable ownership at or below 80% AMI. The proposal emphasizes phased infrastructure, potential childcare or community- serving uses, shared open space, pedestrian connectivity, and flexibility based on funding and market conditions. Based on that review, Related Northwest and Edlen & Co have been selected to advance to the Request for Proposals (RFP) phase. The RFP will allow the shortlisted teams to sharpen their concepts and submit refined, detailed proposals for Evans Vista. The RFP is the second phase of the Evans Vista developer selection process. It invites Related Northwest and Edlen & Co to submit implementation-ready proposals with detailed site plans, affordability commitments, subsidy requests and city involvement, phasing and infrastructure strategies, financing plans, budgets, schedules, ownership structures, and long-term operations plans. Proposals are due by September 4, 2026. This briefing is intended for discussion only and does not request Council action at this time.

SUMMARY STATEMENT: Washington State Parks established a scenic bikeway pilot program and has approached the City about establishing a designated bikeway through the City as part of the Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT). The designation would be from the Ferry Terminal to the Larry Scott Trailas illustrated below. Both the City and the Port agree that there is a section through the boatyard that will be modified over time as part of formalizing the ODT extension beyond the Larry Scott Trailhead. More information about the program is available at https://parks.wa.gov/about/agency/washington-state-scenic- bikeways In order to proceed, State Parks needs an agency acknowledgement form which will lead to a memorandum of understanding from the City acknowledging the pilot program and authorizing signage and marketing. At this point, there are no other obligations of the City. Staff recommends the City Council supports and authorizethe City Manager to sign forms forthis designation to further enhance plans for the ODT as outlined in the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan and Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan.

SUMMARY STATEMENT: This year the City experienced a blockage of one of the main sewer lines leading from the Castle Hill area to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The blockage was caused by a combination of cleaning wipes and latex gloves. This trunk line has high flows and thus when there is a blockage, significant overflow occurswhich requires emergency response and mitigation. Below are some pictures from the overflow earlier this year. Given, City equipment limitations and impacts to staffing, staff is recommending hiring a contractor to video inspect approximately 3 miles the sewer trunkline. City equipment is not adequate to properly inspect given high flow rates in these pipes. There are no recent records of inspections. While another clog has minimal chance of occurring, it is important from a risk management perspective to periodically inspect these larger pipes. The City budget does not include this work specifically, however, other maintenance costs may come in under budget. As a matter of precaution, staff will submit a budget amendment during supplemental #2 to cover these costs. Only one responsive quote was received for just under $80,000. ATTACHMENTS:N/A CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:N/A RECOMMENDED ACTION: If adopted as part of the Consent Agenda, no further action is needed; this effectively represents unanimous approval for the City Manager to execute contracts necessary to accomplish sewer video inspection of approximately 3 miles of sewer trunkline.

SUMMARY STATEMENT: On February 12, 2026, Bayside Housing & Services submitted an application requesting a partial vacation of the Eisenbeis Addition plat and vacation of an undeveloped portion of the McClellan Street right-of-way located between 9th Street and 10th Street. The application was processed as Type III Land Use Permit No. LUP26-013. The street vacation is associated with the Vince's Village project, a proposed 32-unit permanent supportive housing development located at 1777 10th Street within Blocks 198 and 199 of the Eisenbeis Addition. The proposal includes full-width vacation of portions of the right-of-way adjacent to applicant-owned property and a partial-width vacation where adjacent properties are under separate ownership. The Hearing Examiner conducted an open-record public hearing on June 3, 2026, and subsequently approved the partial plat vacation and recommended approval of the McClellan Street right-of-way vacation subject to conditions. The Examiner found that the subject right-of- way has never been opened or improved, is not identified within the City's transportation planning documents as necessary for future public use, and that the proposed vacation serves the public use and interest. The Hearing Examiner further found that: The right-of-way is not required for present or future transportation purposes. The vacation will not create landlocked parcels or adversely affect access. Utility service can be preserved through retention of public utility easements. The proposed vacation is consistent with the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan and applicable provisions of the Port Townsend Municipal Code. Under Chapter 35.79 RCW and PTMC Chapter 12.20, the Hearing Examiner's recommendation does not vacate the right-of-way. Final approval requires legislative action by the City Council through adoption of a street vacation ordinance or equivalent Council action. The accompanying resolution adopts the Hearing Examiner's findings and authorizes the vacation subject to reservation of public utility easements and compliance with applicable recording requirements. The Council is also asked to determine that the public benefit associated with the development of permanent supportive housing constitutes adequate value received in exchange for the right-of- way vacation consistent with PTMC 12.20.090 and RCW 35.79.030. The Draft Resolution proposes the following City Council Findings: A. The subject portion of McClellan Street is not required for present or future public transportation purposes; B. The requested vacation will not create landlocked parcels or impair vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, utility, or emergency access; C. The vacation is consistent with Chapter 35.79 RCW, PTMC Chapter 12.20, the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan, and the public use and interest; and, D. The public benefit associated with the development of permanent supportive housing constitutes adequate value received in exchange for the right-of-way vacation consistent with PTMC 12.20.090 and RCW 35.79.030. The Draft Resolution proposes the following conditions of approval: A. Prior to recording the vacation, the applicant shall submit final survey documents, legal descriptions, and recordable exhibits prepared by a Washington-licensed land surveyor and approved by the City; B. The City shall reserve and record perpetual public utility easements within the vacated right- of-way as necessary to preserve existing and future public utility services; C. The City reserves a perpetual public utility easement encompassing the entire vacated right- of-way, unless a more limited easement area is approved by the City Engineer and depicted on the final recordable documents. The easement shall allow the City and authorized utility providers to install, construct, operate, maintain, inspect, repair, replace, renew, and upgrade existing and future utility facilities, together with rights of reasonable access thereto; D. The applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with preparation, review, and recording of vacation documents; E. The approved street vacation shall be recorded with the Jefferson County Auditor before title to the vacated right-of-way vests in the abutting property owners; and, F. Bayside Housing & Services shall provide the City with a deed restriction or similar real estate instrument granting the City compensation equal to or greater than the value of the vacated right- of-way – the value of the vacated right-of-way may include intangible values or benefits, such as affordable housing. If the resolution is approved, staff will work with the applicant to complete all Hearing Examiner conditions of approval, City Council conditions of approval, including required survey documents, legal descriptions, easement reservations, compensation determinations, and recording prerequisites. Upon completion of these requirements, staff will return to the City Council with a street vacation ordinance for consideration. The right-of-way will not be vacated or conveyed until the ordinance has been adopted and recorded with the Jefferson County Auditor.

FINDINGS OF FACT 23 Procedural: 24 1. Applicants. Bayside Housing & Services c/o Bill Rucker, Director of 25 Sites & Projects 310 Hadlock Bay Rd. p. 1 Findings, Conclusions and Decision 2. Hearing. A virtual hearing was held on the applications at 9:00 am on rd 1 June 3, 2026. 2 Substantive: 3 3. Project Description. Bayside Housing & Services submitted an 4 application for a partial plat vacation of property located at 1777 10th Street together with the vacation of an undeveloped portion of the McClellan Street right-of-way 5 located between 9th Street and 10th Street to consolidate several platted lots to facilitate development of a three-story, 32-unit multifamily residential development 6 for permanent supportive housing. 7 The proposal includes full-width vacation of the McClellan Street right-of-way along 8 199. The application further proposes a partial (half-width) vacation along the 9 western portion of the right-of-way where adjacent parcels are not under applicant ownership. The distinction between full-width and partial-width street vacation is 10 intended to ensure that adjacent properties not controlled by the applicant retain the ability to utilize the remaining portion of the right-of-way if needed for future access, 11 utilities, or connectivity. 12 The subject property consists of multiple narrow lots created by historic platting 13 within the Eisenbeis Addition (Exhibit 10), a subdivision platted in the late nineteenth century (1888). Several interior lot lines and dedicated rights-of-way, including 14 McClellan Street, were platted but never fully developed. The segment of McClellan 15 Streets Plan or Active Transportation Plan. 16 4. Surrounding Uses: Surrounding development reflects a mix of single- 17 family residential, multifamily residential, and institutional uses typical of the Castle Hill area. Vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, and emergency access to the site is provided 18 via improved public streets at 9th Street and 10th Street. 19 5. Adverse Impacts. No significant adverse impacts are associated with the proposal. The subject property has no mapped Critical Areas as regulated by the Port 20 Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC) and none have been observed. The proposal 21 retains portions of the McClellan Street right of way as necessary to ensure that no lots will become landlocked. The partial plat vacation does not impair access, 22 eliminate utilities, or remove public facilities. City staff have determined that retention of the proposed vacated right of way would not advance transportation 23 objectives or system functionality. Reservation of perpetual public utility easements within the vacated right-of-way is feasible and sufficient to preserve current and 24 future public service needs. City staff have determined that the proposed areas for 25 right of way vacation not are not required for present or future public use Written comments were received expressing concern about the future multi-family development of the project site. Concerns included traffic and parking, neighborhood p. 2 Findings, Conclusions and Decision character and future use of McClellan Street. Most of these comments are not 1 pertinent to this review because the planned multi-family development is subject to separate permits. This permit review is limited to the impacts of removing lot lines 2 and right of way. Approval of this permit does not commit the Applicant to build any specific type of development. The only public comments pertinent to this review are 3 the future use of McCelland. City staff have found that the right of way to be eliminated will not result in any landlocked parcels or undermine the Citys 4 transportation planning efforts. Consequently, the future 5 IV. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 6 Procedural: 7 1. Authority of Hearing Examiner. PTMC 20.01.040, Table 1, designates plat 8 vacations as subject to a Type III process. PTMC 20.01.040, Table 2, provides that 9 the hearing examiner shall hold hearings and issue final decisions on Type III applications. 10 2. The PTMC doesnt provide any directly referenced criteria for approval of plat 11 vacations. Rather, PTMC 18.04.040D requires that plat vacations shall comply with the criteria imposed by RCW 58.17.212. As pertinent, RCW 58.17.212 is quoted 12 below and applied via corresponding conclusions of law. 13 RCW 58.17.212: The legislative authority of the city may approve or deny the application 14 for vacation of the subdivision after determining the public use and interest to be served by the vacation of the subdivision. 15 3. Criteria Met. The criteria is met. The public use and interest is served by the 16 vacation since it will not create any adverse impacts as determined in Finding of Fact No. 5 while at the same time facilitating the development of the property. 17 18 One comment letter asserted that the proposed right of way doesnt conform to right of way vacation statutes, specifically those in Chapter 35.79 RCW. Those statutes do 19 not apply to plat vacations that combine lot vacations along with right of way vacations. RCW 58.17.212 provides that \[w\]hen the application is for the vacation 20 of the plat together with the roads and/or streets, the procedure for vacation in this 21 section shall be used At hearing, staff assured that right of way vacations do not include any right of way abutting property owners who have not participated in this 22 vacation application. 23 V. DECISION 24 As conditioned below, the proposed partial vacation of the Eisenbeis Addition 25 subdivision plat affecting Blocks 198 and 199, together with the vacation of an undeveloped portion of the McClellan Street right-of-way located between 9th Street and 10th Street conforms to all required criteria for approval for the reasons detailed p. 3 Findings, Conclusions and Decision in the Conclusions of Law above. The conditions necessary to assure compliance and 1 required by this Decision are as follows: 2 1. No Authorization of Development. Approval of the partial plat vacation and the recommendation for vacation of the McClellan Street right-of-way are limited 3 solely to the legal actions requested and do not authorize construction, grading, 4 land disturbance, installation of utilities, or any physical development of the subject property. This approval does not approve site design, building placement, 5 height, massing, density, parking configuration, traffic impacts, utility capacity, stormwater management, environmental impacts, or neighborhood compatibility. 6 Authority: Chapter 19.27 RCW; PTMC 20.01.130. 7 2. No Approval by Implication. Nothing in this approval shall be construed as a 8 commitment by the City to approve any future development proposal on the subject property, nor as a prejudgment of issues reserved for subsequent permit 9 review. Authority: PTMC 20.01.130. 10 3. Recordation of Partial Plat Vacation. The partial plat vacation shall be recorded with the Jefferson County Auditor prior to issuance of any permit or approval that 11 relies upon the revised plat configuration, including but not limited to civil, 12 building, or land use permits.

The proposal includes full-width vacation of the McClellan Street right-of- within Blocks 198 and 199. The application further proposes a partial (half- width) vacation along the western portion of the right-of-way where adjacent parcels are not under applicant ownership. This approach maintains flexibility for access, utilities, and potential future circulation for those adjacent properties. The subject right-of-way has never been opened or improved and does not function as a transportation facility. While the corridor may accommodate utility infrastructure, any necessary public utility interests can be preserved through reservation of easements at the time of vacation. The proposed action is categorically exempt from SEPA pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(1)(d), and no critical areas are mapped or observed on the subject property.

General Findings of Fact: 1. Zoning. The subject property is zoned R-IV (MF) High Density Multifamily Residential under Title 17 PTMC. This zoning district is intended to accommodate consolidated parcels and higher-density residential development in urban areas served by public infrastructure. 5. The Eisenbeis Addition plat established interior northsouth streets, including McClellan Street, that were intended at the time of platting to function as through streets connecting 9th and 10th Streets. However, subsequent development patterns in the surrounding neighborhood did not rely on these interior connections, and circulation was instead established along the perimeter street network. As a result, the interior segments of McClellan Street were never constructed and now exist as isolated, undeveloped segments that function more as residual stubs rather than necessary through streets. 6. Streets Plan, does not identify this segment of McClellan Street as part of the planned transportation network or as necessary to achieve system connectivity. 7. Parcels adjacent to the eastern portion of McClellan Street are under separate ownership and obtain access from 10th Street. The proposal retains the eastern half of the right-of-way in this location to ensure that no existing or potential future access opportunities are eliminated. 10. The subject property consists of multiple narrow lots created by historic platting within the Eisenbeis Addition (Exhibit 10), a subdivision platted in the late nineteenth century (1888). Several interior lot lines and dedicated rights-of-way, including McClellan Street, were platted but never fully developed. 11. Surrounding development reflects a mix of single-family residential, multifamily residential, and institutional uses typical of the Castle Hill area. Vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, and emergency access to the site is provided via improved public streets at 9th Street and 10th Street. 12. The segment of McClellan Street proposed for vacation is unimproved and not part of the Sustainable Streets Plan or Active Transportation Plan. 13. Partial Plat Vacation RCW 58.17.212 and Title 18 PTMC. RCW 58.17.212 authorizes vacation of a recorded plat upon a finding that the vacation serves the public use and interest. The Eisenbeis Addition reflects nineteenth-century subdivision practices that predate modern zoning, infrastructure, and planning standards. Interior lot lines within Blocks 198 and 199 are obsolete constrain coordinated development otherwise anticipated by the R-IV zoning designation. 14. The partial plat vacation does not impair access, eliminate utilities, or remove public facilities. All parcels retain access via 9th Street or 10th Street. The vacation aligns parcel configuration with adopted zoning and land use policy and satisfies RCW 58.17.212, subject to conditions. 15. Street Vacation Chapter 35.79 RCW. Chapter 35.79 RCW authorizes municipalities to vacate streets no longer required for public use. The subject portion of McClellan Street has never been opened or improved and does not function as a transportation corridor or access route but is used as a utility corridor. It is not identified as necessary in adopted transportation or capital facilities plans. Public interests can be preserved through easements, consistent with RCW 35.79.030. 16. Title 12 PTMC Streets, Sidewalks, and Transportation. The proposal satisfies all criteria of PTMC 12.20.060(A)(J). The undeveloped right-of-way does not serve a demonstrated public need, access and emergency response remain adequate, utilities can be preserved by easement, and the vacation is consistent with adopted plans. The other right of way value sets of open space and trees are not impacted as the area is currently not accessible to the public and no significant trees exist as defined in Title 12 PTMC. The are will also be maintained as a sewer easement with access for maintenance of the existing sewer main. 17. Title 17 PTMC and Title 18 PTMC Zoning and Land Division. The R-IV zoning district anticipates consolidated parcels and higher-density residential development. The proposed vacations do not alter zoning, permitted uses, or development standards and are consistent with Titles 17 and 18 PTMC. 18. Title 13 PTMC and Engineering Design Standards. The vacation request does not authorize infrastructure installation or modification of public infrastructure. Compliance with Title 13 PTMC and the Engineering Design Standards will be required at subsequent permit stages. Comprehensive Plan Consistency. a. The subject segment of McClellan Street is not identified as part of the planned transportation network and is not required to implement the Sustainable Streets Plan. Its retention as dedicated right-of-way would not advance transportation objectives or system functionality. b. The proposed vacation is therefore consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies that support infill development, efficient use of land, and the removal or repurposing of excess right-of-way where no public need exists. 20. Right-of-Way Status McClellan Street (Chapter 35.79 RCW; Title 12 PTMC. The portion of McClellan Street right-of-way proposed for vacation lies between 9th Street and 10th Street within the Eisenbeis Addition. a. This portion of McClellan Street has never been graded, paved, or otherwise improved by the City. b. The undeveloped right-of-way has never functioned as: i. a vehicular travel lane, ii. a pedestrian sidewalk, iii. a bicycle facility, or iv. public accessible open space v. stormwater facility vi. a location with significant trees vii. an emergency access route. c. The subject right-of-way transportation network in the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element or Capital Facilities Plan. 21. Zoning and Access Conditions (Title 17 PTMC; Title 12 PTMC). a. The subject property is zoned R-IV (MF) High Density Multifamily Residential under Title 17 PTMC. b. The R-IV zoning district anticipates consolidated parcels, coordinated site design, and higher-density residential development in urban areas served by infrastructure. c. Vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, and emergency access to the subject property is currently provided via improved public rights-of-way at 9th Street and 10th Street. d. The proposed partial plat vacation and street vacation do not eliminate, reduce, or adversely affect lawful access to the subject property. e. Adequate access for emergency services will remain available following the requested vacations. 21. Utilities and Public Services (Title 13 PTMC; Engineering Design Standards; RCW 35.79.030). a. Public water, sewer, stormwater, and other utilities are available to the subject property within the surrounding street network. b. Existing public utilities are located within the undeveloped portion of McClellan Street proposed for vacation. c. Reservation of perpetual public utility easements within the vacated right-of-way is feasible and sufficient to preserve current and future public service needs. d. The requested vacations do not approve or authorize installation, relocation, or modification of utilities. e. Compliance with Title 13 PTMC and the City of Port Townsend Engineering Design Standards will be required at the time of future civil or building permits. 22. Public Comment (Title 20 PTMC). a. During the public comment period, written comments (Exhibits 6.1 to 6.6) were submitted by members of the public raising concerns related to: i. traffic and parking conditions; ii. neighborhood character and compatibility; iii. building height and massing; iv. future use of McClellan Street; and v. conceptual development plans. b. These comments received during the open public comment period relate to potential future development scenarios rather than to the legal criteria governing plat and street vacations. c. No public comment provided evidence demonstrating that the requested plat vacation would create landlocked lots, eliminate existing public access, impair utilities, or remove an actively used transportation facility. d. All public comments were reviewed and considered as part of the administrative record. e. The applicant responded to the public comments received during the comment period (Exhibits 8.1 8.3). 23. Public Use and Interest (RCW 58.17.212; Chapter 35.79 RCW; Title 12 PTMC, and PTMC 20.0I.235(D). a. The proposed partial plat vacation and street vacation must be evaluated under the b. The record demonstrates that the interior lot lines and the subject portion of McClellan Street do not provide transportation, access, or utility functions and are not required for present or future public use. Retention of these features would not provide a public benefit and instead imposes constraints on efficient use of land. c. The proposal facilitates consolidation of parcels consistent with the R-IV zoning district and supports infill housing development within an area already served by infrastructure, consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies. d. Public interests are preserved through continued access via 9th and 10th Streets and through the ability to reserve utility or access easements if necessary. e. Given, the existence of a sewer main, the area will remain open space. f. These findings are supported by substantial evidence in the record and are made in accordance with PTMC 20.01.235(D). g. Pursuant to PTMC 20.01.235(D), the request is supported by substantial evidence in the record, applies all applicable approval criteria, and provides a reasoned explanation linking the facts to the conclusion that the proposal serves the public use and interest. II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW A. Authority and Jurisdiction 1. The City of Port Townsend Hearing Examiner has authority to review and approve a partial vacation of a recorded subdivision plat pursuant to RCW 58.17.212, RCW 58.17.217, and Title 20 PTMC, and to conduct an open-record public hearing and issue findings and recommendations to the City Council regarding a street vacation pursuant to Chapter 35.79 RCW. 2. The application was properly processed as a Type III permit under Title 20 PTMC, and all procedural requirements related to completeness review, notice, public hearing, and record development were satisfied. B. Partial Plat Vacation RCW 58.17.212 and Title 18 PTMC 3. RCW 58.17.212 authorizes the vacation of all or part of a recorded plat upon a determination that the requested vacation serves the public use and interest, provided that statutory requirements related to ownership consent and restrictive covenants are satisfied. 4. Based on the Findings of Fact and the analysis contained in Section VII of this staff report, the partial plat vacation of the Eisenbeis Addition removes obsolete interior lot lines created under historic platting practices that no longer serve an independent public purpose. 5. The partial plat vacation does not impair lawful access, does not eliminate public utilities or public services, and does not create substandard or landlocked parcels. 6. The partial plat vacation advances the purposes of Title 18 PTMC by promoting orderly land division, aligning parcel configuration with existing zoning, and enabling efficient urban land use consistent with adopted Comprehensive Plan policies. 7. The partial plat vacation therefore satisfies the requirements of RCW 58.17.212 and Title 18 PTMC, subject to conditions ensuring ownership consent, covenant resolution, and recordation. C. Street Vacation Chapter 35.79 RCW 8. Chapter 35.79 RCW authorizes municipalities to vacate streets and rights-of-way that are no longer required for public use, subject to public hearing, compensation where applicable, and reservation of public interests. 9. Based on the Findings of Fact, the portion of McClellan Street proposed for vacation is unimproved, and has never functioned as a transportation facility, access route, emergency route, or utility corridor. 10. The vacated right-of-way is not identified as necessary for present or future public transportation purposes in the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element or Capital Facilities Plan. 11. Public interests related to access, utilities, and future connectivity can be preserved through reservation of easements pursuant to RCW 35.79.030. 12. The proposed street vacation satisfies the requirements of Chapter 35.79 RCW, subject to City Council adoption of a street vacation ordinance and compliance with statutory compensation and easement provisions. D. Title 12 PTMC Streets, Sidewalks, and Transportation 13. Chapter 12.20 PTMC establishes criteria governing street vacations and places the burden of proof on the applicant to demonstrate that a vacation will not be detrimental to the public interest. 14. Based on the Findings of Fact and the analysis in Section VII, all applicable criteria of PTMC 12.20.060(A) through (J) have been satisfied, including: a. the absence of a demonstrated public transportation need for the unopened right-of-way; b. preservation of adequate vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, and emergency access; c. preservation of public utility service potential; and d. consistency with adopted transportation and land use plans. 15. The street vacation is therefore consistent with the intent and requirements of Title 12 PTMC, subject to conditions. E. Zoning and Land Division Title 17 PTMC and Title 18 PTMC 16. The subject property is zoned R-IV (MF) under Title 17 PTMC, a zoning district that anticipates consolidated parcels and coordinated higher-density residential development. 17. The proposed plat and street vacations do not change zoning designations, permitted uses, density allowances, or development standards. 18. The proposal is consistent with the intent and provisions of Title 17 PTMC and Title 18 PTMC and does not create zoning nonconformities. F. Utilities and Infrastructure Title 13 PTMC and Engineering Design Standards 19. The requested vacations do not approve installation, modification, or relocation of utilities or public infrastructure. 20. Compliance with Title 13 PTMC and the City of Port Townsend Engineering Design Standards (EDS) will be required at the time of subsequent civil and building permit review. 21. The City retains full authority to impose utility, frontage improvement, stormwater, and infrastructure requirements consistent with adopted standards. G. Environmental Review Chapter43.21C RCW, Chapter 197-11 WAC, and Title 19 PTMC 22. The proposed partial plat vacation and street vacation are legal actions that do not authorize physical development or land disturbance. 23. The proposal is categorically exempt from SEPA pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(1)(d) and Chapter 19.04 PTMC. 24. No critical areas regulated under Title 19 PTMC are affected by the requested actions. 25. Environmental review obligations are preserved for any future project actions. H. Comprehensive Plan Consistency 26. The Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan designates the subject area for urban residential development and prioritizes efficient use of land and infrastructure. 27. The Comprehensive Plan supports infill development, consolidated development patterns, and flexibility in vacating unused rights-of-way where public interests are preserved. 28. The partial plat vacation and street vacation implement, and do not conflict with, applicable Comprehensive Plan policies. J. Overall Conclusion 32. Based on the Findings of Fact, the analysis of applicable law, and the complete administrative record, the requested partial plat vacation and street vacation: a. comply with applicable RCW, PTMC, WAC, Comprehensive Plan, and Engineering Design Standards provisions; b. preserve public access, utilities, and governmental authority; and c. serve the public use and interest.

SUMMARY STATEMENT: Annually the City is required to adopt a Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and submit it to the State of Washington. The STIP is adopted by resolution after consideration of public comment provided at a public hearing. As part of any transportation public hearings, the City is required to collect demographic data from participants strictly on a voluntary basis. Title VI requirements strive to ensure that agencies are serving all populations within a City. Attendees are encouraged to fill out forms sharing demographic data. The purpose of the STIP is to ensure that Cities are planning for needed transportation improvements with an outlook on the relatively near future. Typically, agency STIPs included more need than funding which is reasonably available. The attached STIP for 2027-2032 illustrates a need of approximately$117.5 million dollars. This seems quite unattainable, thus leading to the second purpose. Most grant programs for transportation dollars require that projects be included in the STIP in order to be eligible. The STIP shows that the agency is thinking ahead to needs that are generally based off adopted plans, comprehensive plan policies, or simple deficiencies. A third purpose for the STIP is to identify needs for transportation funding. City staff has assigned ballpark estimates for the project and estimated the breakdown between federal, state, and local funds. This STIP includes an estimate of need for local funding of $25.4 million based locally funded street work and on a 20%-25% match for grants. This is a typical share of grant funding as well as the cost to administer projects. Staff would like to point out that the form of the STIP follows the state forms which includes a priority number. The projects in the STIP have not been prioritized formally, nor are intended to be prioritized. Projects that are funded are placed as top of list because they typically have timelines for completion. Funded projects are denoted with a “S” for “Secured” in the funding status column. The remaining projects that are not th funded, are pushed out to the 6 year and are not prioritized. These projects are denoted with a “P” to represent planned projects. Staff has ordered the projects based on recent funding and discussions with the City Council; however, grant requirements and criteria often drive what projects are selected to move forward as the City has a history of strategically leveraging sparse local funding to state and federal grants. Updates from previous year’s STIP adoption in 2025 include the following: 1. Many projects completed or expected to be completed by the end of 2025 have been removed. Additionally, project descriptions were updated with clarifying language. 2. Project cost estimates were updated for all projects based rough approximations from and generally using cost per mile estimating procedures. In other words, except for the funded projects, the estimates are order of magnitude estimates. When an application for a grant is developed, the estimates are refined based on project scope. 3. Last year’s STIP included 54 projects. This year’s proposal includes 49 projects after removals and additions of projects. 4. The Lawrence Street Multimodal project between Walker and Harrison is funded given the TIB grant success and will be finished in 2027. th 5. The 19Street HSIP pedestrian safety project was fully funded given success in Highway Safety Program funding. This project was removed since it will be finished this year. 6. The SR20 Bishop Canyon area Sidewalk project was funded given success in Bike Ped grant program. 7. The Sims Way – Sandy Williams HOPE 20 project was added given successful funding this last year. 8. The Safe Routes to Schools project was funded for a planning study for neighborhood connections. 9. The RAISE grant for the ODT was corrected to match the City section from the Transit terminal to Fort Worden. This project funding is now available and can move forward. The other segments inside the city limits are managed by the Port. 10.Active Transportation Plan update was added for every 5 years as a minor update. 11. Changed the Lawrence Street project to create new limits between Kearney and Walker to reflect work to be completed on the rest of Lawrence. 12. Downtown Parking Plan is pushed out until funded based on Council work planning from last year. 13. Added Active Transportation Plan has been moved up as funded based on Transportation Benefit District funding projections and an estimated $100,000 per year for sidewalk, traffic calming, and bike facilities. 14. Other minor changes were made to funding and timing of funds. The timing is largely a guess since we don’t know when funding will happen, thus not a lot of attention was put towards the timing of unfunded projects.

Yes No Contract Approval Other: Discussion Public Hearing (Legislative, unless otherwise noted) 3-Year Strategic Plan: 1 - Build small town quality of life Cost Allocation Fund: SUMMARY STATEMENT: In March of 2026, the City of Port Townsend through its Port Townsend Creative District program, opened a Call for Artists to create a mural at the Seamus Sims Skate Park. This is the first public art commission by the City since Big Blue, a functional sculpture created by Matt Babcock on Tyler Street in Uptown in 2014. Guided by the council-approved Arts in Public Places Policies and Procedures, a selection committee of local stakeholders followed a process to develop the Call for Artists and choose an artist to receive the commission. They limited the geography of the call to Jefferson County and included a community engagement component to the project. A total of seventeen local artists submitted applications, from which the committee, using a standardized rubric, selected three finalists. The finalists were asked to develop a public presentation that outlined their concept for the mural as well as their community engagement plan. Approximately 50 community members attended the presentations at the Cotton Building on June 23. Attendees were invited to fill out comment cards after the presentations, which the selection committee weighed during the selection of the commissioned artist. On July 2, the Arts Commission received a recommendation by the artist selection committee, which was to award Jesse Joshua Watson the contract for this project. As the final step in the Arts in Public Places Policies and Procedures, the Arts Commission is recommending to Council that the committee’s choice be approved by a motion of the Council. This project is being funded primarily through a Creative District Capital Grant, with matching funds coming from in-kind services (primarily site work by the Parks Department), private contributions, and the municipal arts fund. The total project is $49,550 ($30,000 project grant; $6,900 municipal arts fund, $4,900 private donation, remainder in-kind services).

Yes No Contract Approval Other: Discussion Public Hearing (Legislative, unless otherwise noted) 3-Year Strategic Plan: 1 - Build small town quality of life Cost Allocation Fund: SUMMARY STATEMENT: City staff seek approval to apply for a National Endowment for the Arts Our Town Grant to support a pilot artist-in-residency program for the management and creation of street painting and mural projects. This grant would fund an artist to lead these projects in coordination with community groups and informed by City plans. This accomplishes multiple goals: bringing more community-created artwork into our streetscape; bringing City plans and priorities to life in a concrete way through active engagement; providing an artist with a compensated creative and professional development opportunity; and highlighting the City’s continued investments in and support of the arts. National Endowment for the Arts Grants for Arts Projects – Our Town Our Town is a National Endowment for the Arts grant program designed to foster community- centered events and placemaking projects. Grant Details Part 1 (Interest Form) due July 9 Full application due July 21 $10,000-100,000 request 1-to-1 match including in-kind and matching funds Project Start Date: June 2027 The Our Town program has a specific focus on cross-sector, community-centered projects that leverage art and placemaking to drive the creative economy and involve artists in planning, cultural asset building, public art, and project leadership. This is an opportunity to more deeply embed artists in the next steps for developing two-dimensional public artworks in the community and an exciting way to add capacity and expertise into the process as the City takes a more central role in this important part of PortTownsend’s identity and culture. If awarded the grant, any street painting or muralwould require City Council approval under Chapter 12.11 (Street Use Permits – Street Painting All Districts) prior to installation within City right-of-way. Our Proposal: City Mural & Street Painting Program Artist-in-Residence Summary: Port Townsend has seen significant momentum around murals and street painting in the last year. From the community-led Outsiders Street Art Project on the Memorial Field fence to the Creative District Seamus Sims Skate Park Mural and the Jefferson County Farmers Market/Pride Street Painting, artists and community groups from across the city are excited to bring more art into our built environment. Modeled on successful municipal/artist partnerships from other communities, we propose to help bolster these efforts by establishing a city artist-in-residence to help guide this work into the future. This program would embed an artist inside the Community Services Department and establish a fund for the creation of murals and street painting projects that align with city initiatives in the Comp Plan, Active Transportation Plan, PROS plan, Arts & Culture Plan, and other priorities. The artist-in-residence would use their expertise to co-design these projects with community members, while working closely with City Departments to develop a high-level view of civic processes and connect the work back to the City’s overall infrastructure and priorities. This project would leverage the Port Townsend Creative District’s transition into City management in a way that creates strong multi-sector collaboration and brings creatives into the systems that shape our community. The results are both tangible, community-informed art in our neighborhoods (which has positive evidence-based outcomes for safety, connectedness, and civic engagement) and the creation of new cross-sector pathways for communication, project development, and professional opportunities for creatives.
