PUBLIC COMMENTS
Ted Krysinski, Fire Department. Invited citizens to the Port Townsend Fire Department
muster celebrating 120 plus years of history, October 12th in front of museum.
Vern Garrison. Requested Council to hold off on a commitment to Waterman-Katz due to: 1)
absence of a staffing plan; 2) expenditure of leasing; 3) more effective use of our tax dollars;
4) need to keep City offices downtown, but not Public Works; 5) possibility of lease option;
6) clarify specifications -- not detailed. He said Waterman-Katz should be renovated; but he
still does not approve.
John Clise, former Mayor. Waterman-Katz project is a good project and should move
forward; it is a win for all. He said from the City's standpoint it allows a great deal of
efficiency. He strongly encouraged Council to move forward.
Diane Hamm. Supported Waterman-Katz project. She indicated monetary issues are not the
only things to consider. She stressed the importance of keeping town government accessible
and visible in a downtown location.
John Sheehan. Opposed to Waterman-Katz. Cited a lack of critical parking downtown and
lack of use of the Park & Ride. Suggested purchasing space at Castle Hill Mall.
Madge Wallin. Opposed Waterman-Katz. Cited increase of indebtedness that would occur,
charged that city is not properly using current
Ken McBride. Urged city workers to use Park & Ride if offices relocated to Waterman-Katz.
Shirley Rudolph, Economic Development Council (EDC). She reaffirmed EDC letter of
support for the Waterman-Katz Building written four months ago. Noted the importance of the
city showing good faith in honoring agreement with the developer.
Mitch PolIin~. In favor of Waterman-Katz for the historical value. He would like to see the
City buy the building, if available. Expressed concerns about employee parking, suggested
city buy land for parking, use park & ride.
Walt Ovens, ID International. Spoke regarding QFC signage for new store. Asked council to
review sign code for large buildings; would like to waive 17 foot height limit; noted the BCD
Director Freeland suggested he come with appeal to the council.
Mayor McCulloch said Council will take the matter up at Staff Report time, and asked
if the QFC delegation could stay for that discussion. Councilmember Shou1berg said the QFC

request to come directly to Council this way is highly unusual. He asked why Mr. Freeland
asked them to do this. Mayor McCulloch suggested public comment be continued and the
matter discussed during staff reports. Mr. Shoulberg continued to insist on questioning Mr.
Ovens. Mayor McCulloch ruled rum out of order and called a 5-minute recess.
Public Comment (Continued at 7:25 p.m.)
Councilmember Shoulberg asked for a point of procedure regarding dialogue with
citizens appearing for public comment. Ms. Kolacy suggested the council vote in this instance
about whether to follow the agenda or suspend the rules to allow discussion of the sign matter.
MOTION
Camfield The Parliamentarian research and bring back to Council in
writing at the next meeting
Perry- Thompson
SECOND
Discussion: Mr. Shoulberg again asked for consensus about asking questions of those who
testify before council during public comment. The Mayor said she would like the motion on
the floor to be resolved and those wisrung to speak allowed to do so.
VOTE
Unanimous, 7 in favor
Sheri Stuart, Main Street. Reported approximately 1,500 citizens participated in the Port
Townsend Family Portrait on October 4th. She thanked Fire Chief Scott and Police Chief
Newton and their crews for assistance. Ms. Stuart also spoke in support of Waterman-Katz
project. She pointed out that a restored Watennan-Katz Building would add to the tax roll; a
new city~owned building would not. She spoke of the efficiency savings and long term staffing
savings. She mentioned the synergy with building restorations; improvement to properties
would increase sales of surrounding businesses. Increased sales would increase sales tax
collections, one of the key pools of funding for the city. She suggested by consolidating city
offices in one location, perhaps other city-owned properties could be disposed of. She noted
the Main Street Board of Directors encourages the City to go ahead with Waterman-Katz.
Mr. Shoulberg asked to question Ms. Stuart; Council gave consent. Mr. Shoulberg
asked that given the city tax revenue is $3 million, the closest city to our size is $4.5, or $1.5
more than any city our size, if we have to make priority choices, what would you recommend
the City do with regarding the choices we have to make and the surplus revenue we are going
to put into Waterman-Katz.
Mayor McCulloch stated she thought perhaps it was unfair to question a citizen in this
manner. She asked if Ms. Stuart would mind answering.
Ms. Stuart replied to Mr. Shoulberg's question she could not speak on behalf of her
Board without first asking them. Mr. Shoulberg asked Ms. Stuart if she or her Board
examined the questions of a lease-option of Waterman-Katz. She replied, "No we did not."
She stated they examined the proposal as it was put before the city.

RESOLUTION NO. 97-109
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT
TOWNSEND REAFFIRMING THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO RENT
INTERIM ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE SPACE IN THE REDEVELOPED
WATERMAN-KATZ BUILDING, EXTENDING THE OCCUPANCY DATE,
AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO NEGOTIATE AN AMENDMENT TO
THE "COMMITMENT TO RENT" LETTER TO EXTEND THE OCCUPANCY
DATE
Councilmember Keith made a motion that the Council adopt Resolution No. 97-109 which was
seconded by Councilmember Perry-Thompson.
Ms. Jenks asked the procedural question, if they were to discuss only what is pertinent to the
motion. She said per Ms. Kolacy when there is a question, there does not have to be a motion
on the floor.
The Mayor suggested the two issues in question be considered first. Ms. Kolacy stated that
would be appropriate.
The Motion and Second were withdrawn to consider the two connected issues.
Mr. Keith presented a position paper stating a summary and said it was put forth in favor of the
lease, but that it contained no new material. He Mr. Keith went on to discuss certain issue:
Further discussion ensued regarding parking, revenues, standards for public as opposed to
private development projects.
COMMENTS ON ISSUES:
Seismic
.. Q. How effectively can building be seismically retrofitted. A. Enough to allow
occupant to escape in event of an earthquake.
Parking
.. Problems of downtown parking remain same whether building is used or not. Strongly
urge use of the Park & Ride by city employees.
Windows
.. Q. What are window specifications? Is this considered an interior or exterior remodel? A.
Currently are preliminary specs; in the lease document it will be more precise. They will
be the same size as now. In historic buildings, replacing same size windows would
probably not count as an exterior model under the shorelines act.
Michael Legarsky, Finance Director, presented a pro--forma analysis of the project costs and of
occupying the Waterman-Katz Building over 5, 10 and 30 year periods compared to
City Council Minutes

constructing a hypothetical building of the same floor area. Estimated efficiencies to be gained
through consolidation of several offices into the Waterman-Katz Building were also discussed.
Councilmember Keith made a motion that the Council adopt Resolution No. 97-109 which was
seconded by Councilmember Perry-Thompson.
Ms. Camfield asked whether the question could be considered informally, and if so, whether
council members want to place any limit on debate.
MOTION
SECOND
VOTE
Jenks To consider the question informally
Welch
Unanimous, 7 in favor
Further discussion ensued.
Ms. Camfield suggested including a penalty clause if the occupation of the building were
put off later than the time specified in the lease.
Mr. Shoulberg questioned the possibility of a lease option of the Waterman-Katz building;
Mr. Keith replied a lease option had been discussed, but the parties were not very interested.
Mr. McMahan noted that a penalty clause had been considered and there are a few ways of
providing that, including one free day of rent accrued for any day beyond the extended date
caused by a delay on the part of the developer.
Mr. Keith said there was a motion on the floor and suggested it be amended, that they stick to
the motion and delay penalty clause discussion until consideration of the lease agreement. Ms.
Jenks concurred and stated that up to this point there had been ad hoc negotiations with
Ballenas. She asked that from this point forward negotiating with Ballenas be referred to the
Parks Committee. Mr. Welch, chairman of the comnùttee, said he could have the committee
overview negotiations. Mr. McMahan pointed out the next step is a lease agreement.
Mr. Keith called for the question, and Ms. Perry-Thompson seconded. The question failed for
lack of a two-thirds vote.
There was further discussion regarding a deadline date and the options presented by the
developer. Mr. McMahan noted options 1 and 4 had already been negotiated and agreed to.
AMENDMENT Camfield Motion include penalty option #4 (Approved by maker and
seconder)
Resolution 97-109 as amended passed by voice vote with 6 in favor and Councilmember
Shoulberg opposed.

STAFF REPORTS
Buildin:: and Commllnity Development: Director Bruce Freeland
.. QFC sign. Mr. Freeland reported that the QFC signs had been approved with the
exception of one exterior sign which was designed to be higher than the 17' height limit
allowed in the code. The applicants had assumed that the sign merely had to be below the
roof line and didn't realize another height limit applied. He added that he did not feel the
height proposed (around 24') was inappropriate for the size of the building, but he is not
authorized to amend the sign code. He asked council to take under consideration a sign
code amendment that would make some exception for large buildings such as the QFC
store.
Ms. Jenks said she thinks this is a large issue and suggested they bring it up at their next
council meeting.
Mr. Ovens, applicant, noted that QFC has been working for 2-1/2 months with BCD, and this
issue remains. He asked that council consider amending the code.
MOTION
Bring an amendment of the sign code to the Planning
Commission including any other changes BCD perceives as
necessary
