Recognition of Public Works' CRAB Certificate of Good Practice

Metadata

  • Time Range: 00:05:59.725–00:12:14.762
  • Agenda Item: Recognition of County Road Administration Board (CRAB) Certificate of Good Practice
  • Categories: operations, infrastructure, contracts, budgeting

Topic Summary

The Board commended Public Works Director Monty Reinders and his team for receiving the Certificate of Good Practice from the County Road Administration Board (CRAB) for 2023. This certification is crucial as it ensures the County's eligibility to receive approximately $1.4 million annually in state motor vehicle fuel tax (gas tax) revenue, which is used to fund road improvements and grants. The certificate recognizes compliance with standards covering administration, engineering, maintenance, and budgeting for the County's roughly 400 miles of road.

Key Discussion Points

  • Commissioner [0:05:59.725]: Expressed personal gratitude for Public Works' progress, citing the JUMP playground and Phase 1 sewer boundary project.
  • Commissioner [0:07:03.200]: Affirmed that the roads program, covering 400 miles, is central to the county's work and that the CRAB certification is necessary for the motor vehicle tax tag and the ability to operate.
  • Monty Reinders [0:09:04.166]: Stated the motor vehicle fuel tax amounts to about $1.4 million a year.
  • Monty Reinders [0:09:55.247]: Noted that Public Works handles about four times as many roads locally as WSDOT handles in the county.
  • Monty Reinders [0:10:25.501]: Confirmed that without the Certificate of Good Practice, the County would be ineligible for Rural Arterial Program (RAP) funding, which fully funds the Center Valley Road improvement project.

Jefferson Universal Movement Playground (JUMP) Project Updates

Metadata

  • Time Range: 00:05:59.725–00:06:08.667; 00:12:14.762–00:18:28.638
  • Agenda Item: Not Stated (Informational Update)
  • Categories: parks, planning, infrastructure, services

Topic Summary

This update focused on two major components of the JUMP playground: solving the overheating issue of the fiberglass orca structures and securing funding for Phase 2 construction. The solution for the orcas is the installation of large shade tarps, which will be coordinated with the construction of the newly funded Phase 2 area, designed for younger children. The Public Works team, alongside volunteers, successfully secured a major, non-matching grant of over $500,000 for Phase 2.

Key Discussion Points

  • Commissioner [0:06:02.167]: Described the JUMP playground as "a regional destination for families and kids."
  • Monty Reinders [0:12:35.618]: Identified the problem with the orcas as the black fiberglass material, which doesn't dissipate heat well.
  • Monty Reinders [0:13:16.554]: The current plan is to install large shade tarps or "triangular sales" over a portion of the playground and the new Phase 2 area. This serves the added benefits of making the playground cooler and dryer during rain [0:14:00.363].
  • Monty Reinders [0:14:19.069]: The shading structure is partially funded by County capital and will be coordinated with the grant-funded Phase 2 project.
  • Monty Reinders [0:16:34.286]: Phase 2, which was cut from the original project due to cost, is now moving forward thanks to a Dan Thompson Grant.
  • Monty Reinders [0:17:32.887]: Phase 2 is designed for the youngest kids (ages 3, 4, 5, 6) and will involve pouring a slab with drainage and installing foam tiles over the surface where play equipment will be placed.
  • Monty Reinders [0:17:53.768]: The Dan Thompson Grant is over $500,000 and is a 100% no-match grant [0:17:53.768].
  • Commissioner [0:18:28.638]: Congratulated Parks staff (Matt Tyler) for their work not only on JUMP but also on assisting the Quilcene Skate Park in getting regional grant funding, placing "1st in the region for that grant."

  • Shading structures partially funded by County capital [0:14:19.069].

Alternatives & Amendments

  • Alternative Solution Discussed for Orcas: Removing the orcas and sending them back to Colorado was deemed "difficult and disruptive" [0:12:45.645]. Changing the color of the orcas was also considered but rejected as they "wouldn't really look like orcas" [0:13:00.647].

Outcome, Vote, and Next Steps

  • Decision: Informational item.
  • Vote: Not a voting item.
  • Next Steps:
  • Construction of the shade structures will be coordinated with Phase 2 installation [0:14:19.069].

Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) Update and Project Sequencing

Metadata

  • Time Range: 00:19:15.873–00:27:16.062
  • Agenda Item: Not Stated (Informational Update)
  • Categories: infrastructure, permits, planning, budgeting

Topic Summary

The discussion confirmed that land acquisition for the Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) section leading to Anderson Lake State Park is complete and the right-of-way certification process with WSDOT is nearly finished. The County plans to build the $5 million project next summer. Challenges include navigating the complex federal and state bureaucracy due to funding sources and managing cash flow to sequence multiple, concurrent multi-million dollar capital projects, including a $5 million bridge replacement and two fish barrier replacements.

Key Discussion Points

  • Commissioner [0:19:15.873]: Asked for an update on land acquisition for the ODT trail segment leading to Anderson Lake State Park.
  • Monty Reinders [0:19:46.505]: Confirmed that right-of-way has been acquired, including property from both the State and private landowners.
  • Monty Reinders [0:20:01.883]: The project requires "excruciating oversight" and right-of-way certification from WSDOT because the match funding comes from Federal Highways via the Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) [0:20:10.291].
  • Monty Reinders [0:20:49.605]: The plan is to build the ODT section next summer (2025); the total project is a $5 million dollar project.
  • Monty Reinders [0:22:37.397]: Noted that the section of the ODT being built ends at the state park boundary; State Parks is supposed to build the trail through the park [0:23:01.684].
  • Monty Reinders [0:24:01.664]: Discussed the difficulty of executing large grants like the RAISE grant due to complex federal oversight.
  • Monty Reinders [0:25:38.631]: Sequencing capital projects (ODT, Center Road, $700k in road signs, two fish barriers, and a $5 million bridge project) is a challenge because the County lacks the cash flow to handle all the projects simultaneously, as grants are reimbursement-based [0:26:11.282].
  • Monty Reinders [0:26:54.420]: The County may need to secure a cash flow loan for the roads program, similar to the one obtained for the sewer project, to manage the timing of the $5 million bridge project and the ODT construction.

Solid Waste Fee Structure Performance and Customer Survey Results

Metadata

  • Time Range: 00:28:48.548–01:14:08.648
  • Agenda Item: Solid Waste Program Update and Fee Analysis
  • Categories: operations, services, budgeting, public safety

Topic Summary

The Public Works Solid Waste Manager, Al Cairns, presented initial data on the revised solid waste fees and the Low-Income Discount (LID) program. The increase in the minimum self-haul fee (from $10 to $20) intended to reduce congestion by shifting small-load customers (under 120 lbs) to curbside service, has not been effective so far, with minimum weight transactions still accounting for 69% of loads. Conversely, the LID program is highly utilized (841 customers in six months) but results in a projected annual revenue loss of $28,520 due to the 50% discount. A customer survey revealed high usage from Port Townsend and Port Hadlock/Irondale residents, despite mandatory curbside service in Port Townsend, with many customers viewing the trip as a social outing. Staff will monitor data through the busy summer season before making recommendations for further adjustments.

Key Discussion Points

  • Al Cairns [0:31:05.816]: Fee increases were implemented to reduce congestion at the transfer station and cover rising costs.
  • Al Cairns [0:31:47.824]: Only 39% of eligible housing units in the service area subscribe to curbside service, placing an "additional burden on transfer station" [0:31:57.595].
  • Al Cairns [0:33:37.240]: Curbside service significantly increases efficiency. Waste connections compactors service up to 1,000 residential customers in one trip, and compacted loads require only two staff for 100 tons, versus six staff and six hours for 100 tons of self-haul waste [0:34:07.123].
  • Al Cairns [0:35:07.716]: Fuel consumption for material delivery is inefficient for self-haulers: waste connections accounts for 49% of fuel but 68% of tonnage, while self-haulers account for 51% of fuel but only 32% of tonnage. This favors encouraging curbside service to lower the overall carbon footprint [0:36:09.809].
  • Al Cairns [0:44:49.130]: The number of customers making minimum fee trips (small loads) decreased by 31% (from 39% of customers to 27%) after the fee increase, suggesting some effect but not entirely solving the congestion [0:46:15.429].
  • Al Cairns [0:46:04.004]: The Per Ton Fee adjustment has been successful, resulting in a 5-20% margin in the first quarter of this year, succeeding three years of operating in the red.
  • Al Cairns [0:47:01.911]: The Low-Income Discount (LID) program is seeing high participation (841 customers in 6 months for solid waste), which is considered a social element success [0:48:46.282].
  • Al Cairns [0:51:19.720]: Survey data (91 customers) showed Port Townsend residents were the largest group of self-haul customers, despite mandatory municipal curbside service, followed by Port Hadlock/Irondale.
  • Al Cairns [0:52:02.261]: Customers from neighboring counties (Kitsap and Marrow [Mason] County) are using the facility because it is "cheaper" and offers "free recycling" [0:52:16.970].
  • Al Cairns [0:56:53.942]: A key finding: retired people, even if paying for curbside, prefer the trip to the transfer station as an "excuse to get out of the house" [0:57:02.435], making it a social destination.
  • Al Cairns [0:57:48.587]: The suggested average price point for the minimum fee to prompt customers to switch behavior was $31.07 [0:55:54.630].

Public Comments

  • Commissioner [0:40:02.550]: Stated they have been "completely frustrated" with hours-long lines at the mobile Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events, which replaced the fixed facility.
  • Al Cairns [0:42:42.665]: Confirmed that the four annual HHW events are collecting a similar amount of material as the prior facility that was open 50 days a year, making the new collection method more efficient and operating at a reduced cost [0:42:51.248].
  • Monty Reinders [0:59:09.327]: Suggested that future fee revisions could reflect the higher cost of managing self-haul customers by imposing a different per-ton cost than the commercial $167 rate [1:03:23.454].
  • Monty Reinders [1:07:18.318]: Confirmed the closure of the facility on Mondays to commercial haulers only has been beneficial, allowing staff to perform maintenance and for waste connections to efficiently drop off compacted loads [1:08:46.949].

Supporting Materials Referenced

  • Curbside Participation Rate: Only 39% of eligible housing units subscribe (data provided by Waste Connections and Assessors office) [0:31:50.524].
  • Low-Income Discount (LID): Provides a 50% discount off the minimum fee ($10 instead of $20) [0:47:01.911].
  • Customer Survey: 91 customers surveyed (87% residential; 41% minimum weight customers) [0:49:49.748].

Financials

  • Projected annual cost (revenue loss) of the Low-Income Discount program: $28,520 [0:48:26.541].
  • Current Per Ton Fee: $167.00 [1:03:33.750].
  • Solid Waste Fund is operating at a 5-20% margin in Q1 2024 [0:46:15.429].
  • Recycling is supported by the per-ton fee, costing the program approximately $620,000 this year [0:38:50.438] and about $20 per ton [1:04:22.945].

Alternatives & Amendments

  • Alternative Pricing Discussed: Based on the survey, raising the minimum fee closer to the $31.07 average sought by customers might increase curbside subscription [0:55:54.630].
  • Service Alternative (HHW): Replacing the fixed hazardous waste facility with four annual events has proven much more efficient for staff [0:42:51.248].

Outcome, Vote, and Next Steps

  • Decision: No action taken; item was informational briefing.
  • Vote: Not a voting item.
  • Next Steps:
  • Staff (Al Cairns and Monty Reinders) will get through the summer busy season and collect more data [1:00:14.211].
  • Staff will return in the Fall to discuss further adjustments [1:00:27.760].
  • Public Works is also working on a long-term plan for the future of the solid waste facility [1:08:35.614].
