We wish to congratul~te the city on this improvement ~nd we "ope it will help reduce cont~mination of' the reservoirs wLich has been a recurring problem. We do feel that covered distribution reservoirs are the only really permanent and adequ~te solution f'or municipal water supplies generally. In lien of' this we have approved post chlor- inati n facilities together with various types of bird control such as the city h~s installed. We recognize that covering these reservoirs would be a large pro jec t and one iv.' .ich the ci ty is perhaps not presently prepared to undertake. However, we do feel this would be a very worth while project to include in your f'uture planning. There are several other items of concern which we believe should also be included. 1. Fencing Lord's Lake and City Lake to restrict rublic access. 2. The need f'or auxil1iary pov¡er or an auxil1iary water' supply to operate the Ghlorination f'acilities at City Lake in the event of' a power outage. 3. The need f'or better bacteriological and turbidity data on raw Y/ater to determ'ne the adequacy of' the existing degree of' treatment. Also the citys status in the watershed should be clarified through a f'ormal agreement with the U.S. Forest Service delineating the citys ræghts and re~ponsibilities. 4. An evaluation of the adequacy of' the existin~ supply projected against f'ut~re demands. We believe it would be to the citys considerable advantage to aut.i1orize a comprei_ensive study of the water supply to investip;ate these and perh~ps other areas of needed improvement. 'l'he f'aci1ities u1tim~tely decided upon as necessary can t:~n be correlated with available financing to produce a suitable construction schedule. . Except for the questi n of' onen reservoirs we have generally felt the Port Townsend water supply to be adequate and well administred. However, in view of' the need f'or the improvements citEhd, . coupled with the potential need for additinal water supply, we do f'eel that a comprehensive study of the water system is essential if' the city is to maintain a water utility of' high quality. We would be pleased to discuss tll.is with you or the Council in further detail at any time. Very truly yours, James C. Pluntze, Head Sanitary Engineerin1 Sectifuh Mayor Sullivan asked the City Clerk to place the letter on f'ile. =.íarilou Green, chairman of the Planning commiss ion asked for the .ßollowing 1 etter read that she had written to the .Vashinr;ton State Department of Commerce and Economid Development. ?>.1r. Daniel B. '.1ard, Director Washington State-Department of' Commerce and Economic Deve1,)pment General Administration Building Olympia, Jashington. Dear J'vTr . ','lard: It is our understanding that the vvashington State Department of' Commerce and Eeonomic Develop- ment has just recently been delegated to handle the processing of' "701" planning f'unds. In light of' this f'act, we urge you to caref'ully consider granting immediate ap}'rova1 of our application, 'uJashinston P-115. This application has been under review by HUD ror more than a year, thus causing our p1anninp; progrmn to come to nearly a dead halt. During the past three years, the City of' :Port Townsend has spent ~~6950. 00 of budgeted f'unds, with some monies coming in the form of' contributive services through other local governmental agencies, as well as the State Department of' Institutions through services contributed by the Fort Worden Treatment Center. The Federal government provided two-thirds matching f'unds f'or the f'irst two .phases of' the program and we are still anticipating approval on our third application The City of Port Townsend h~s f'urther budgeted $1,950.00 for the year of' 1967, to matched by " 701" f'und s . Local support f'or the program, whi ch in the beginning was indeed generous, is f' ding fast because of' the lag at the Federal level. de are f'earf'u1 that the plans for our Open Space- Beautification and Historic Preservation prop;rams might have to be discarded ii' the matching f'unds are not soon fort.:coming. Also, the matching "702ry funds :~ranted by HUD for the City's sewer line project may be in jeopardy. Construction is scheduled to begin soon on this project. Because we have the dubious privilege of' being the "Grand-daddy" of "701" applicants in this State, with the possible exception of' Walla Walla, we ay'e hopeful that our application will be cleared by your of'f'ice in the near, if' not the immediate, f'uture. Thank you. Sine erely, Mari10u Green, Chairman Port Townsend Planning Cormlission Port Townsend, Washington From Mr. L. P.

The Fort Worden Diagnostic & Treatment Center has asked that they be charged on a f~at rate now in effect.

This figure is based on the estimäted number of loads they will haul next year, predicted in äccordance wi th the amount they now haul. This f'igure can be broken down to approximätely one dollar per load. It is further recommended that his payment begin ät the start ..01' the new fisca~ year, commencing July 1st 1967.
