SUBJECT: Resolution 26-006 Setting a Public Hearing Regarding the Vacation of
Street Right of Way in Cappy’s Trails
CATEGORY: BUDGET IMPACT:N/A
Consent Resolution Expenditure Amount: $
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: Choose an item.
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Jefferson Land Trust(JLT) and City of Port Townsend have had a long partnership
history to secure and preserve land in the area of Cappy’s Trails. The 2025
Comprehensive Plan formally established a boundary of a future park based on earlier
work.
JLT desires to apply for grant funding to continue to purchase property within the park
boundary as illustrated in the Comprehensive Plan. Within the park boundary and near
a couple of parcels in wetlands nearby, the City and JTL own property on both sides of
historically platted rights of way. These rights of way create a fractured ownership
pattern. The City can vacate these rights of way for the JLT to use as match for grant
funding which allows locally generated dollars to go further in the purchase of property
to support the future park.
The right of way vacation process is essentially a three-step process as:
1. First, the City Council sets a public hearing as required by RCW 35.79.030 and
Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC) 12.20.070.
2. Second, the City Council holds a public hearing and reviews staff analysis of
compliance with the comprehensive plans as well as other plans and needs of
the City, consistent with PTMC 12.20.060. At this hearing, the Council may
choose to establish conditions of approval such as surveys, deed restrictions,
etc.
3. Once the conditions of approval have been met, the Council will be presented
with an ordinance to finalize the right of way vacation.
This right of way vacation request involves rights of way sandwiched between JLT and
City parcels, as illustrated in the map. This right of way area constitutes approximately
28 acres. City staff will fully review the proposed right of way vacation under PTMC
12.20.060 prior to Council action.
PTMC 12.20.090 requires compensation for the value of the right of way and authorizes
City to accept a land swap for the City’s compensation. The land swaps value can
include intangible values as outlined in the resolution recitals. Given the City and JLT’s
mutual goals, a number of key principles have been discussed:
1. The granting agency requires full appraisals; however, the City does not require
a full appraisal as qualified City staff member can establish the value under
PTMC 12.20.100.
2. The goal for this project is a land swap to meet the PTMC requirements and be in
furtherance of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff anticipates that the land swap
would potentially include a restrictive covenant in favor of the City as the real
estate instrument to meet the City’s compensation requirements under PTMC
12.20.090. Note that the Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) will hold the
ultimate conservation covenant, as a requirement of their grant.
3. There may be some easements retained by the City such as for the existing
water and sewer lines.
4. There will be continued stewardship of the trail system and preservation of
habitat consistent with the Quimper Wildlife Corridor Plan
5. Property purchase will be inside the City’s future park boundary.
6. The City and JLT will continue to have access to their respective properties
7. Vacation of right of way is usually at the center of the street and the half right of
way returns to the ownership of the abutting property owner. Vacation of right of
way removes public access for the development of roads; however, the parties
agree that stewardship of the trail system is a priority for public access to all
lands held by the City and JLT.
Staff recommends proceeding with the vacation process in order to support the
procurement of grant resources to further preserve Cappy’s Trails and the future park.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Council, Planning Commission, and staff held discussions regarding whether or not to
initiate a Comprehensive Plan Amendment in 2026 based on a request from the
Quimper Growers Network. This request was sent to the Planning Commission as a
written communication in March 2026 by the Quimper Growers Network. The Planning
Commission voted to recommend City Council open a limited amendment process to
accommodate the Quimper Growers Network’s request.
Staff reviewed the Planning Commission recommendation and finds that proceeding
with an amendment would require more resources than are available in 2026 without
making significant tradeoffs. These tradeoffs would have an opportunity cost for 2026
Workplan items and could potentially contradict the Comprehensive Plan, which already
contains support for residential gardens and existing nonconforming agriculture. This
agenda bill summarizes staff’s professional and procedural rationale for not proceeding
to initiate Comprehensive Plan amendments related to agriculture in 2026, despite the
Planning Commission’s recommendation to include elements of the Quimper Growers
Network proposal in a reopened docket. It clarifies the process context, identifies key
tradeoffs, and outlines the implications of Council direction.
On December 15, 2025, City Council resolved to close the suggested annual
amendment cycle (docket) for the Comprehensive Plan (Resolution 25-035). No formal
site-specific amendment applications were submitted prior to the February 2, 2026,
deadline; therefore, there was no docket for 2026. Port Townsend Municipal Code
(PTMC) does not require a public hearing on the annual docket unless the suggested
amendment cycle is open or formal site-specific applicationsare received by the
deadline.
Since Council did not authorize a 2026 suggested docket due to staff limitations and
2026 Workplan strategic objectives relating to housing, a hearing for the 2026 annual
amendment cycle was not required. Council may, but is not required to, make an
exception to the closed annual amendment process pursuant to PTMC 20.04.030.A.1. A
motion is required to reopen the docket to include the Quimper Growers Network’s
proposal. If Council votes to advance such a motion, it must find that waiting until the
next suggested amendment cycle would be detrimental to the public’s interests.
In response to staff’s current capacity constraint to support further analysis, the
Planning Commission decided to form a subcommittee to review the Quimper Growers
Network’s proposal and worked diligently to develop a recommendation recognized by
the full body. Much gratitude is owed for the dedication and passion of the Planning
Commission. As the suggested amendment cycle is closed, the Planning Commission
did not consider criteria in PTMC 20.04.060.C.
Staff Initial Assessment of PC Recommendation and Key Trade-Off’s
Staff’s recommendation contradicts that of the Planning Commission and is based not
on the merits of agriculture as topic, but on legal constraints, fiscal sustainability, staff
capacity, and Council’s stated long-term priorities as cited in Resolution 25-035. PCD
and the broader City organization are operating over capacity. Initiating new
Comprehensive Plan work would directly displace affordable housing implementation
efforts, statutorily required code amendments and permit process, code modernization,
and procedures implementing the Comprehensive Plan. Resources are finite and
prioritizing work that does not align with key priorities for housing affordability, efficient
infrastructure, and fiscal sustainability delays this urgent work.
Growth Management Act and Fiscal Sustainability Misalignment
Should Council direct staff to proceed with any proposal relating to agriculture, the
recently adopted Comprehensive Plan would need significant modification and analysis
to ensure GMA compliance. Under Washington law, WAC 365-190-050, cities must
have a transfer of development rights (TDR) program in place before designating
agricultural land within an urban growth area, and the designation process requires a
comprehensive analysis rather than parcel-by-parcel review. This is a substantial work
effort—prioritizing agricultural designation could result in reducing land inventory for
housing, increasing per-capita infrastructure and utility costs and pushing development
outside of the Urban Growth Area, counter to GMA’s intent. Even aspirational policies
present serious consequences for legal appeal without extensive analysis, review, and
engagement thereby increasingworkloadand undermining housing goals. Despite
Planning Commission’s contribution, dedicated staff hours are required to determine
how to ensure any policies do not createconflicts within the Comprehensive Plan,false
expectations, or empower housing opposition. This analysis cannot be done
independently by volunteers.
There is opportunity cost to add to the closedsuggesteddocket. Staff detailed
achievable vs. unachievable projects this year in its March 25, 2026, presentation to
Planning Commission. Given current vacancies, onboarding and training ramp up
timelines, the 2026 workplan is overextended and cannot sustain additions. Staff
recommend focusing on statutorily required items—permit processing in accordance
with state mandated deadlines, the Growth Management Hearing Board appeal, Parks,
Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan, lot splitting/commercial building
conversions/HB1576 Historic Preservation compliance, and the Shoreline Master
Program. Staff are fully committed in limited spare time to the Evans Vista Request For
Expressions of Interest (RFEI) and affordable housing inventory update. Staff also can
support Multifamily Tax Exemption (MFTE) Area residential target area expansion as
time allows.

Proposal
PLANNING COMMISSIONRECOMMENDATION: 3 to 2 vote to include discussion of
elements of the Quimper Growers Network proposal relating to goals, policies and
implementation actions as revised by the Planning Commission Subcommittee to be
included in the 2026 docket. Unanimous vote recommended the City to move forward
on expansion of the Multifamily Tax Exemption residential target area.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Take No Action
Take No Action: No motion is required. By taking no action, the City would not move
forward with potentially revising the Comprehensive Plan relating to the Planning
Commission’s recommendation.
No Councilaction allows staff to proceed with:
Statutorily required items relating to code updates and implementation
MFTE residential target area expansion (the 2026 workplan already included an
overhaul of MFTE program)
2026 budgeted work plan items, as supported by available staff capacity and
workload
Alternative: Motion to make an exception to the closed suggested annual amendment
process pursuant to PTMC 20.04.030A along with any applicable findings that to wait
until the next suggested amendment cycle would be detrimental to the public’s interests.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
This is the first proposed budget supplement for 2026.
Total Expenditure Increase (Including Transfers)
$6,684,761
Actual New Spending
$3,571,827
Actual New Spending Grant Related vs Non Grant Relat Amount
Grant-related new spending$1,087,348
Non-grant related new spending$2,484,479
Total$3,571,827
All expenses must be approved by Council. The budget supplementincludes all
unbudgeted expenditures. The City isnot required to reduce or credit unspent line items
or to increase revenue during the supplement process; therefore, an increase in the
expenditure line item does not necessarily mean an increase in spending as there may
be an offset under another line item that is not reflected in the supplement process.
The 2026 Budget Supplement #1 includes:
General Fund (010):
The Police Department received an additional invoice from JeffCom for annual
maintenance fees related to the software program, Tyler New World. JeffCom has
interlocal agreements with the City, Jefferson County, and PenCom tojointlyfund
this operation. This additional invoice is the result of billing errors on the part of the
vendor and it took longer than expected to resolve.
Human Resources Professional Services – Public Safety Testing line item was
entered as $336 in the 2026 budget when it should have been $3,336. Each
required polygraph for an incoming officer is $420 so an increase is needed to fund
required onboarding tests.
Unemployment Insurance Claims. The City is self-insured for unemployment,
meaning it reimburses Employment Security directly for all unemployment claims.
Historical claim activity is used to project and budget for anticipated costs;
however, budget authority may need to be adjusted if claims exceed initial
estimates. Based on current expectations, several unemployment claims are
anticipated in 2026. Accordingly, staff is requesting additional budget authority to
ensure adequate funding is available to cover these anticipated costs.
1% Arts Fund (160):
Expenditure authority for the awarded Port Townsend Skatepark Mural project,
which is supported by a Creative District grant, the City’s Municipal Arts Fund (1%
for Art), and donations is requested.
Community Services (199):
A Washington State Department of Labor & Industries elevator inspector identified
the need for hydraulic safety inspections for both City Hall elevators. These
inspections are required every five years and were not anticipated during
development of the 2026 budget.
The City Hall fire alarm sprinkler system is required by code to undergo a wet and
dry inspection.
The City entered into a contract with ARC Architects to establish building
valuations and lifecycle cost estimates for City-owned facilities, in support of the
Facilities Equipment Rental and Revolving (ERR) fund methodology. ARC
previously performed this work for a portion of City structures several years ago;
the remaining work was completed in 2026.
Facilities’ budget included a Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan professional
services contract with SCJ Alliance that was approved in 2025. However, SCJ
submitted their invoices in 2026, so the unspent 2025 budget is being carried into
2026.
Pool Repair carryforward for 2025 repair that was billed in 2026.
The Arts Division had Sound Check and Newspaper-related items budgeted in
2025 that were expended in the 2026 budget. This supplement carries forward the
previous council approved expenditure authority into 2026.
Public Works(305,411,412,415,417,500):
Lawrence Street UAP Project $467,803 - additional Water funding is requested
for water-related work added to the capital project. As part of the street and
sidewalk improvements, water meters and related infrastructure will need to be
relocated. The project will also replace main valves and upgrade outdated
service lines to current standards.
Street Sweeper $450,000 - budgeted in 2025 and ordered in May 2025. The
delivery is anticipated in December 2026; therefore, carry forward budget
authority is requested.
Seton Mill Road Project $245,812 - Carryforward budget authority is requested
as the project was budgeted in 2025; however, the invoice was not paid until
February 2026, so the related expenditure authority needs to be carried forward
into 2026.
Transportation Benefit District Funding for 2026 Chipseal (with County) -
replaces $200,000 of Transportation Benefit District funding with REET for
$268,000. Increase due to increase in material costs (Oil and Rock).
Security cameras at the City Shops - split between the divisions that have offices
and store equipment at the shops. This includes Streets, Storm, WWC, Water,
and Fleet.
Information Technology (IT) Operating (520):
State and Local Cybersecurity Grant. IT received this grant from the Washington
Military Department (Federal Emergency Management Agency funded the state
pass through entity) to assist the City with managing and reducing systemic cyber
risk. This grant will allow the City to update firewall hardware and provide a critical
link in maintaining connectivity for the City.
Additional updates in the 2026 First Budget Supplement:
An annual review and update of the City’s Cost Allocation Plan and Equipment Rental
and Revolving (ERR) Fund methodology should be conducted to ensure the continued
accuracy and appropriateness of the underlying assumptions and allocation methods. We
have attached our updated methodology for review.
General Fund Overhead Cost Allocation
The General Fund cost allocation plan methodology was updated to better align overhead
charges with the level of benefit received by each fund and department.Since 2023when
the last allocation plan was developed,there have been many changes instaffing,
organizational structure, and support responsibilities. The changes to allocation drivers
are intended to improve fairness, consistency, and transparency in how General Fund
administrative and support costs are allocated.
Information Technology (IT) Equipment Rental & Revolving(ERR)Plan
The IT ERR plan was updated with a new methodology to more equitably distribute
costs across benefiting funds. The previous plan allocated operating costs based on
department headcount while the new plan uses a combination of weighted device units
and storage usage to better align charges with the level of ITeffort and resourcesused
by each fund. This updated planis intended to improve fairness and consistency in how
IT operatesand replacement costs are allocated.
Capital Carryforwards
Since the 2026 budget was developed before final 2025 actuals were available, the
original carryforward amounts included in the budget were based on estimates. With
actualexpenditures now available, the budget can now be updated to reflect the true
carryforward amounts for active projects, ensuring the same total expense budget
authority remains availablein the current budgetto complete the projects as originally
authorized.

SUPPLEMENT 1 | COST ALLOCATION PLAN What is a Cost Allocation Plan?Departments inside the General Fund (Accounts Payable, HR, Payroll, City Manager) provide services that benefit
the whole City. The benefiting funds then pay the general fund for those services. Costs don’t have to be recovered, but if they are then a cost allocation plan must be in place to
distribute those shared costs fairly.

SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Over this past year, several opportunities have arisen to add fire hydrants to the
Olympic Gravity Water System (OGWS)pipeline for mutual benefit of the City and
property owners.
Jefferson Transit Authority (JTA) has requested a Fire Hydrant at their Four Corners
facility to provide necessary fire flow to support their new maintenance facility. In this
location, the Jefferson County PUD water system lacks fire flow capacity.
City staffalsoanticipates a request from the Port of Port Townsend for a hydrant to be
located at the NW Timber Cooperative site.
Several fire hydrants already exist on the system in Glen Cove and one at the Jefferson
County Airport. Those hydrants are owned by the City.
City staff issupportive of entering into agreements with property owners for hydrants
particularly in locations where there is an opportunity to drain water from the pipeline or
flush the pipeline. For example, JTA will allow the City to drain water into their
stormwater pond. This is a great benefit to the OGWS system as locations to drain
substantial volumes of water are limited.
PTMC 13.18.020 authorizes the City Council tocontract for water supply. This section
was originally developed to encourage regional water use to defray the costs of the
OGWS system and presently, there is only one contract with the Port Townsend Paper
Mill. Given, fire hydrants do not use water except in the case of an emergency, a fire
hydrant connection agreement is different from a water supply agreement.
Nonetheless, the provisions of the chapter apply.As a matter of principle, fire hydrants
along the OGWS would be privately owned and maintained and all costs to install would
be borne by the benefiting property owner unless there was significant benefit to the
OGWS system.Additionally, fire hydrant connections would need to be installed
according to engineering details to protect the integrity of the OGWS system.
City staff recommendsthat City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into fire
hydrant connection agreements with property owners along the OGWS for mutual
benefit. City staff will likely bring a code update back to Council to memorialize this
Council authorization, time permitting.
