appearance of fairness issue and that Council will be making a new
decision this night. A memorandum from Mayor Clise dated May 12,
1993, regarding the Port Townsend Business Park state Environmental

read the material pertaining to the Port Townsend Business Park
determination and reviewed the conclusions and recommendations of
the Legislative/Environmental Committee. Councilmember Wolpin made
a motion that the Council approve the following mitigating measures
and make a Determination of Non-Significance for the Port Townsend
Business Park which was seconded by Councilmember Jones. Each
Councilmember stated for the record that they have reviewed the
material, feels fully informed and is ready to vote. The motion
passed unanimously by voice vote.

MAYOR'S REPORT
PT 2020. Mr Hildt reported on the PT 2020 Coffee Hour results and
explained the process: 80 Coffee Hours were held, 560 people
participated in those Coffee Hours, an estimated 1400 hours of
volunteer work went in to what people feel about Port Townsend.
The results were then compiled: to expect that the result of a
process like this would be a short three-sentence statement that
everybody can agree on is unrealistic. The responses frc::>m the
people who attended last week's meeting were indicated that they
were pleased with the process, it was an energizing experience and
some of the groups want to come back together. Another meeting has
been scheduled for May 25,1993, at 7:00 PM at the Community Center
to begin to prioritize the results and everyone is welcome.
Councilmember Wolpin stated that most of the meeting was videotaped
and Councilmember McCulloch stated that she is almost through with
it and will pass it on to Councilmember Westerman. A brief
discussion of the response and this process, Town Hall Forum and
public education ensued.

Councilmember Wolpin made a motion that the Council adopt the
following mitigating measures and make a Mitigated Determina1:ion of
Non-Significance for the Port of Port Townsend's boat wash-down
facility which was seconded by Councilmember Jones and passed
unanimously by voice vote.
1.
EARTH
To mitigate potential significant impacts to soil erosion and
an increase in stormwater runoff, a stormwater det:ention
facility shall be installed. The facility shall collect
stormwater for the project area, treat it, and release the
stormwater at is historical rate. The design of the facility
must be approved by the City Engineer prior to a building
permit.
2.

To mitigate potential significant impacts to air quali1:y, the
proponent shall contact the Olympic Air Pollution Control
Authority to obtain any necessary approval for air emissions.

To mitigate potential adverse impacts to environmental health,
sludge shall be tested for toxicity prior to being disposed at
the County landfill or city sludge facility. The proponent
shall contact the County Health Department for information
about sludge tests and disposal at the landfill.
6.
To mitigate potential adverse impacts to environmental health
and water quality, the proponent should remove solid marine
growth, such as barnacles and mussels. Marine debris shall be
disposed of according to Health Department standards. If
odors become a problem, the proponent shall provide for
additional waste disposal services.
7.
LAND AND SHORELINE USE
A shoreline substantial development permit is required. The
proposed project must be consistent with all applicable
policies and other provisions of the Shoreline Management Act,
its rules, and the City's shoreline master program. This
includes, but is not limited to, those master program
provisions pertaining to port facilities in the Port Townsend
Urban Waterfront Special District.
Port Underground Fuel Tanks. Councilmember Wolpin explained the
project and confirmed that all Councilmembers have received the
packet of information. After discussion including Mr McLerran,
Councilmember Wolpin made a motion that the Council make a
Determination of Non-Significance for the Port of Port Townsend's
floating moorage fuel facility which was seconded by Councilmember
Jones and passed unanimously by voice vote.
Policy Issues about Water Pressure. Mr Wheeler explained the
problems with water pressure in the higher elevations in the city
and the standpipe project and lined out several choices for funding
the project. David Peterson, CH2M Hill, described the technical
problems and explained that the whole purpose of the standpipe is
to maintain at least 30 pounds of water pressure in all areas of
the City as required by the State Health Department. The standpipe
is a 1.5 million gallon reservoir about eighty feet tall which will
add about 20 pounds of pressure to the waterlines. At present,
there are no pumps in the city and the waterlines are all gravity
flow. Further discussion of the Chlorine Contact Time, the
standpipe, costs and funding, fireflow and firefighting
capabilities, permit conditioning, state Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) mitigation, impact fees and fair share fees including Mr
Wheeler, Mr McLerran, Mr Peterson and the Council-members ensued.
Councilmember McCulloch made a motion that Council accept the
recommendation that the ci ty proceed wi th the voluntary
SEPA/voluntary mitigation approach until such time as impact fees
may be considered which was seconded by Councilmember Westerman and
passed unanimously by voice vote. An explanation of "voluntary" by
Mr McLerran ensued.
Report on O'Meara State Environmental Policy Act checklist.
Councilmember Wolpin confirmed that all Councilmembers have
received a copy of the checklist and discussed it briefly. Mr
Hildt confirmed that Mr O'Meara has agreed to the mitigation
measures. Councilmember Wolpin made a motion that the Council
adopt the following mitigating measures and make a Mitigated
Determination of Non-Significance for O'Meara Construction Company
to build six houses which was seconded by Councilmember Jones and
