Public Comment on Housing and Local Governance

Metadata

  • Time Range: 00:01:18.966–00:01:24.707
  • Agenda Item: Public Comments
  • Categories: services, housing, public safety, operations, other

Topic Summary

The Board proceeded to public comment, receiving input on three primary subjects: alleged illegal mandatory documentation at a Bayside-managed shelter (American Legion ROI), a suggestion to remove the entire Port Hadlock governing city council due to perceived incompetence, and a detailed complaint from a resident of Pat's Place regarding miscommunication, failed promises by case management, and wrongful eviction.

Key Discussion Points

  • Maggie (Public Commenter): Cited RCW 36.08.030, Sections 14 and 15, arguing that "night by night" shelters cannot compel occupants to sign conditions of occupation. Alleged that Bayside staff (Gary and Heather) illegally coerced two elderly, disabled residents (Elizabeth and Florence) to sign the American Legion Release of Information (ROI), threatening eviction, characterizing this act as a Class B felony punishable by up to five years and a $10,000 fine. Further stated that Gary previously was convicted of bank fraud, upheld by the 9th circuit. Criticized agencies (Commerce, Housing, Governor's Committee) for failing to enforce contracts with non-compliant contractors, harming unrepresented consumers.
  • Brian (Local Resident): Questioned whether the entire Port Hadlock City Council governing body could be removed—without a referendum—due to a perceived lack of "competence and integrity," suggesting the State might need to establish a temporary oversight group.
  • Michael (Pat's Place Resident): Reported that after his car broke down in early June, he reached out to Bayside about a financial stability program. Complained that the program stipulated he must pay fees and talk to case management by the 5th, but on the 7th he received a "14-day pay or quit notice." Stated his case manager (who was later fired) told him the notice was a mistake by property management. Acknowledged that a new case manager (James) contacted him late (the 25th) and admitted they were behind. Claimed the property failed to notify the Sheriff of his case management status, leading to a second Sheriff's notice on the 15th. Stated that on the 10th he signed homelessness prevention paperwork, paid the money, and received a receipt, yet he was still evicted "two or three days later" (specifically, the 12th, which he was not told about). Accused Bayside of taking his money but allowing the eviction to proceed.
  • Commissioner (Greg Dean): Acknowledged responsibility for Bayside's management. Stated the ROI would be the major topic at the next Shelter Coalition meeting (Recovery Café, Tuesday at 11 AM, hybrid option). Understood the ROI was similar to Olympic CAP's previous form, with the American Legion added to allow notification if someone is exited for disruptive behavior. Expressed sympathy for Michael's situation at Pat's Place (an emergency shelter managed by Bayside/City), pledging to make inquiries.
  • Commissioner (Heidi Eisenhour): Stated she appreciated Commissioner Dean leading on these issues and offered support. Expressed concern that administrative issues appeared to have failed Michael and potentially Maggie. Described the County and City Council relationship as "siblings," not one entity controlling the other.
  • Commissioner (Dean): Acknowledged that local government bureaucracy sometimes fails the most marginalized, and the goal is to keep fixing the system, clarifying Commissioners do not handle the day-to-day mechanics.

Public Comments

  • Maggie: Claimed a shelter was illegally coercing disabled residents to sign an ROI under duress, classifying it as a felony, citing RCW statutes and identifying alleged staff involved.
  • Brian: Asked if the entire governing body of Port Hadlock could be dissolved for lack of competence.
  • Michael (Pat's Place Resident): Detailed complaints about failed communication, a fired case manager, and wrongful eviction/acceptance of payment while eviction proceeded.
  • Shelly (Remote): Experienced audio issues/echo and deferred comment. [Note: Shelly's substantive comment appears later in the transcript.]

Supporting Materials Referenced

  • References made only to RCW statutes and Bayside's internal documentation (ROI) not provided for this summary.

Financials

  • Maggie referenced a $10,000 potential fine for illegal coercion.
  • Michael mentioned payment for homelessness prevention paperwork.

Alternatives & Amendments

No alternatives discussed.

Outcome, Vote, and Next Steps

  • Commissioner Dean: Committed to investigating Maggie's claims at the Shelter Coalition meeting (Recovery Café, Tuesday at 11 AM).
  • Commissioner Dean: Committed to investigating Michael's Pat's Place situation.
  • Viola (OlyCAP attendee): Passed a note to Michael with contact information to help navigate the situation.

Status of Pleasant Harbor Master Plan Resort Development

Metadata

  • Time Range: 00:25:07.642–00:26:56.929
  • Agenda Item: Public Comments
  • Categories: land use, permits, infrastructure, planning, operations

Topic Summary

A remote commenter (Shelly) detailed serious delays in the Pleasant Harbor Master Plan Resort project, despite compliance from the developer (Statesman Group) with a county agreement. Specifically, she reported that a building permit was summarily rescinded as a "clerical error," and the County is refusing a simple grading permit requested by Statesman to fix potholes at a hazardous Jefferson Transit bus stop because it constitutes "ground disturbance."

Key Discussion Points

  • Shelly (Remote Commenter): Recalled County Legal Counsel stated Statesman Group only needed to sign a document (with no new conditions) to start basic work (earthmoving) before fall rains. Recalled Commissioner Eisenhour questioning if Counsel was sure Statesman would comply while ensuring all enforcement options remained intact.
  • Shelly: Stated Statesman signed the agreement but was soon issued a building permit, which was allegedly rescinded within an hour as a "clerical error," stopping all approved work.
  • Shelly: Reported that a Jefferson Transit bus broke a bus because of potholes at the Pleasant Harbor bus stop turnaround. Statesman offered to grade and fix the lot (equipment and manpower ready), but the County refused permission, stating it required a permit as "ground disturbance."
  • Shelly: Stated the developer also wishes to demolish and dispose of dangerous, falling-down buildings on the property, but the County has refused permission for that as well.
  • Shelly: Requested the Commissioners, as decision makers, address these issues with Legal Counsel and the involved departments to resolve the problems in the 20-year-old project.
  • Commissioner Dean: Acknowledged the County is dealing with second-hand information (hearsay) regarding the bus stop and grading issue, noting no requests have come directly from "John or the Statesman's group."
  • Commissioner Dean: Committed to getting an update from DCD (Department of Community Development) regarding the situation by next week, focusing on ensuring no bureaucratic blockages can be removed.
  • Commissioner Dean: Clarified the $31 million spent was by the developer, not the County, though he acknowledged the County's extensive work in the agreement process.
  • Commissioner Eisenhour: Asked Commissioner Dean (District 3 Commissioner, responsible for this geographic area) to get an update for the Board.

Public Comments

  • - Shelly: Detailed problems with rescinded permits and lack of necessary construction and demolition permits, attributing delays to the County's permitting and enforcement department.

  • DCD/Public Works: Implicitly tasked with investigating the bus stop grading/permit refusal and the rescinded building permit.

Metadata

  • Time Range: 00:29:18.321–00:31:09.477
  • Agenda Item: Consent Agenda
  • Categories: contracts, operations, budgeting, other

Topic Summary

The Commissioners reviewed the Consent Agenda, pulling Item 5 (Historical Documentation Contract with Jefferson Historical Society) for an amendment regarding fund allocation. The remaining items were noted, and the amended Consent Agenda was approved unanimously.

Key Discussion Points

  • Item 5 Amendment: An error was identified in the historical documentation contract with the Jefferson Historical Society, stating 90% of funds were going to the Historical Society when it should be 100%. The motion would approve the item subject to this correction.
  • Appointments: Commissioner Dean noted the reappointment of Kevin and Tara to the Lodging Tax Advisory Council (LTAC) and Brian Gordon and Jeff to the Marine Resources Committee (MRC).
  • Public Health Item: Commissioner Dean noted that the County’s epidemiologist was now giving assistance to other counties, reflecting a positive development in building up core services.
  • Opioid Funding: Brad Banks (Item 7) was noted as helpful in opioid funding planning.

Public Comments

Fire Danger Rating Escalation to "Very High"

Metadata

  • Time Range: 00:31:09.477–00:43:41.885
  • Agenda Item: Discussion of Fire Danger Level
  • Categories: public safety, operations

Topic Summary

The County Fire Marshal, Phil, and Deputy Fire Marshal, Brian Tracy, reported on the recent escalation of the county's fire danger rating from "High" to "Very High," following the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) steps, noting that the county is now at Preparedness Level 5 (the highest level). This change bans the use of charcoal grills at residences, allowing only propane, pellet-fired smokers, and pellet grills, and maintains the existing ban on all other outdoor burning.

Key Discussion Points

  • Status Update (Phil): The fire danger rating was escalated to "Very High" on Wednesday the 17th, based on DNR steps, placing the county at Preparedness Level 5, equivalent to neighboring Mason County.
  • New Restrictions: The only change in restrictions is the ban on charcoal use at places of residence; only propane barbecues, wood pellet-fired smokers/grills (e.g., Traegers), are allowed. All other outdoor burning remains banned.
  • Rationale: Commissioner Dean inquired if lightning strikes were a major cause. Phil displayed DNR dashboards indicating Central North areas of the state were under a Red Flag Warning. He noted observed degradation in air quality from southeastern Oregon and large fires.
  • Fuel Conditions (Brian Tracy): Emphasized that ratings are based largely on fuels and moisture content in "10 hour, 100 hour, and 1,000 hour fuels" (dead sticks, small twigs, larger downed trees). Current relative humidity might slow progression, but the fuels condition drives the forecast.
  • 1,000-Hour Fuel Analysis: Phil explained 1,000-hour fuels (large woody debris) maintain fire for an extended period. The moisture content charts showed 1,000-hour fuels still around 14% (orange/Very High range, not yet Extreme/red). Smaller fuels (1-inch or less) retain sufficient moisture, limiting immediate fire spread.
  • Duration of Restriction: Phil stated they strive not to "play yo-yo" with restrictions and seek to sustain a level once set. They track 7-day forecasts and long-range DNR models, noting that DNR currently rates the Central Lowlands (where most of East Jefferson County is located) as Very High.

Public Comments

No public comment on this topic.

Supporting Materials Referenced

  • DNR Dashboards/Maps: Displayed the geographical preparedness level (Level 5) and the 7-day significant fire potential (including a lightning warning).
  • DNR Fuel Forecast: Displayed moisture content for 1,000-hour fuels (around 14% in the Very High range).
  • Mason County Press Release: Used to confirm equivalent burn restrictions.

Financials

No financial information discussed.

Alternatives & Amendments

  • Discussion noted that dropping to "High" status would restore charcoal use in residential settings but otherwise retain most restrictions, arguing minimal benefit to the public for the confusion caused by switching levels frequently.

Outcome, Vote, and Next Steps

  • No action was taken; item was informational.
  • Phil/Brian Tracy: Will continue monitoring the fire conditions.

Apex Accelerator Program (formerly PTAC) Briefing and Funding

Metadata

  • Time Range: 00:43:41.885–01:10:15.471
  • Agenda Item: Apex Accelerator Program Briefing, Financial approval
  • Categories: contracts, budgeting, services, other

Topic Summary

Rebecca, the Director of the Apex Accelerator Program (formerly PTAC/Procurement Technical Assistance Center), presented an update on the program, which is primarily funded by the Department of Defense (DoD) to help local businesses secure government contracts (local, state, federal). The program requested $10,000 in matching funds from the County to maintain the service, leveraging it for significant federal funding (85%). The Commissioners unanimously approved the matching fund request.

Key Discussion Points

  • Program Rebranding: Rebecca confirmed the 40-year-old program, funded by the DoD, was recently rebranded from PTAC to Apex Accelerator.
  • Mission: Apex acts as a "bridge" between government and businesses, specializing in navigating complex government portals (like sam.gov) and applications, particularly for first-time contractors.
  • Services: The program helps with marketing, finding bidding opportunities (offering a free "bid match" service), achieving certifications (e.g., HubZone for historically underutilized businesses), and proposal review.
  • Advocacy: Rebecca noted the program attempts to advocate for local businesses by consulting with local government agencies (like Public Works) on breaking down RFPs into smaller scopes so local companies can bid.
  • Local Reach: The program currently works with 94 businesses in Jefferson County. Examples of clients include a local firm doing fencing/construction (Burwash) and Goodman Ink.
  • Success Metrics (Federal Only): The total confirmed value of federal contracts awarded to Jefferson County clients is \$346,000, with reality suggesting the true total is higher when local and state contracts are included.
  • Federal Funding: The program is 85% federally funded by DoD, requiring a local match for the remaining 15%.
  • Requested Funding: The program requested the County continue providing $10,000 for the local match, aligning with last year's contribution.
  • Outreach/Capacity: Rebecca confirmed that hiring a new counselor, Justine Wagner, increases capacity, allowing the program to focus on marketing and finding a part-time physical office space in Jefferson County to serve clients better.
  • Affordable Housing Nexus: Commissioner Eisenhour asked if the program assists nonprofits, particularly regarding grant applications like sam.gov access, which Rebecca confirmed she often does informally.
  • Tribal Outreach: Rebecca expressed difficulty contacting the Hoh Tribe but noted efforts to connect them with the Native Apex program designed for dedicated tribal members.
  • Limiting Factor: Rebecca stated the limiting factor in Jefferson County is the need for more marketing and outreach to identify interested businesses, citing increased capacity with the new counselor.

Public Comments

  • No public comment on the motion was provided during the comment period.

  • A presentation slide deck was eventually displayed via Zoom.

Financials

  • Funding Structure: 85% funded by the Department of Defense.
  • County Request: $10,000 needed from the County for the local match.
  • Reported Awards: $346,000 in successful Federal contracts awarded to local businesses.

Alternatives & Amendments

No alternatives discussed.

Outcome, Vote, and Next Steps

  • Decision: Motion to approve the provision of $10,000 in matching funds for the Apex Accelerator Program (formerly PTAC).
  • Vote: Unanimous.
  • Next Steps: Commissioners will connect Rebecca with the County EDC and the Chamber Board for marketing/outreach opportunities.

Swimming Pool Task Force Update and Funding Mechanisms

Metadata

  • Time Range: 01:13:00.326–01:21:22.435
  • Agenda Item: Commissioner Session (Healthier Together Task Force)
  • Categories: services, infrastructure, budgeting, planning

Topic Summary

Commissioner Dean provided an update on the Healthier Together Pool Task Force, acknowledging the task complexity. He affirmed the general consensus that the County needs one new pool but emphasized that the decision on location (Port Townsend or Tri-Area/Chimacum) and resulting funding mechanism (Municipal or Public Facilities District) requires a consolidated community decision, which the task force cannot make alone.

Key Discussion Points

  • Initial Consensus: The task force members agree a new pool is needed, and realistically, the community can only support one new pool.
  • Funding and Location: The location heavily dictates the funding mechanism (MPD vs. PFD).
    • Port Townsend (MPD): Commissioner Dean's preliminary, non-expert calculations suggested a city-wide MPD could raise about $750,000 annually, equating to a $25 million 20-year bond (at 5.5% interest). An MPD typically requires a 50% majority to form and a 60% supermajority to pass the bond.
    • Tri-Area (PFD): A PFD offers a different funding structure.
  • Political Hurdle: There is "a lot of resistance" to losing the current pool site, necessitating significant public outreach and a unified decision from the County and City on location before design and construction feasibility analysis begins (a 2-year process).
  • Design/Programming: Preliminary presentations on pool structures (e.g., Martha Pools, known for quality and features like zero-entry and current rivers) were informational, but decisions are premature until location and funding mechanisms are finalized.
  • Key Unknowns: It is unclear whether the majority of current users are Port Townsend residents due to high propensity to swim or proximity to the existing pool. Questions remain about where growth (Port Townsend School District growing, Tri-Area shrinking) should aspirational dictate placement.

Financials

  • Preliminary MPD revenue estimate (City limits): $750,000 annually.
  • Potential bond value: $25 million (20 years, 5.5% interest).
  • Assumed levy rate in previous study: 10 cents per thousand assessed value.

Alternatives & Amendments

  • The central alternative debated is the location (Port Townsend/MPD vs. Tri-Area/PFD).

Outcome, Vote, and Next Steps

  • No Action: The item was informational.
  • Next Steps: Commissioner Dean emphasized the need for County and City leadership to conduct joint public outreach and make the fundamental decision on pool location next; the current task force cannot determine this.

Fire Danger and Permitting Fees (SB 5290) Workshop

Metadata

  • Time Range: 05:40:04.040–06:21:42.987
  • Agenda Item: Workshop: SB 5290 Implementation and DCD Fee Study Results
  • Categories: permits, budgeting, compliance, land use, legislation

Topic Summary

DCD (Director Josh Peters, Administrative Manager Chelsea Justis, Senior Planner Greg, and Fire Marshal Phil) presented the results of a fee study recommending an increase in the base hourly rate for permit services (from $111 to $123.20) to achieve 100% cost recovery. This fee adjustment is necessary to help the County comply with new state mandates under SB 5290, which imposes strict permit review deadlines and requires participating jurisdictions to adopt at least three efficiency measures to avoid penalties (refunds). DCD proposed adopting the higher fee and undertaking other measures to meet the deadlines by the end of the year.

Key Discussion Points

  • Fee Study Results: The comprehensive fee study determined that DCD's costs exceed fees collected. The consultant recommended increasing the base hourly rate for permits from $111 to $123.20 to achieve 100% cost recovery.
    • Current Subsidy: The General Fund currently subsidizes the permit operation.
    • Fee Structure Impact: Most major building permit fees (based on valuation via national model) will not change; the increase primarily affects ancillary hourly services (e.g., re-inspections, extra plan review).
    • Proposed Fee Schedule: DCD plans to introduce a revised fee schedule where some complex permits increase, but streamlined/simple processes may see reduced fees and specified carting options to ensure transparency.
  • SB 5290 Mandates: This state law imposes strict permit review timelines, requiring local governments to track and issue decisions for:
    • Type 1 (no SEPA): 65 days.
    • Type 2 (notice required): 100 days.
    • Type 3 (public hearing): 170 days.
  • Compliance/Risk: To avoid penalties (refunds of 10% to 20% of fees), the County must adopt at least three specific efficiency measures (SB 5290 Menu) by January 1st. Failure results in immediate default imposition of fee refund penalties.
  • DCD Proposed Measures (to satisfy SB 5290):
    1. Adopt Reasonable Fees (via the proposed $123.20 rate increase / 100% cost recovery).
    2. Optional Pre-Application (already partially codified in 18.40) & Inter-Departmental Coordination.
    3. Outside Consultant Certification (allowing certified professionals to verify components like plumbing, reducing county review load).
    4. Density Requirements (e.g., implementing duplex/triplex as outright uses in urban zones, streamlining approval).
    5. "Two Strikes" Rule (limiting requests for additional information to two, after which a permit must be approved or denied, preventing endless cycles for applicants).
  • Timeline Challenge: Staff noted that historically, Type 3 permits (public hearings) have taken up to a year, primarily due to delays in receiving decisions from the Hearing Examiner, which is outside DCD's direct control. They seek clarification and a clear process to address this.
  • Public/Staff Concerns (Lizanne, Tom, Sally):
    • Efficiency: Tom raised concerns that the cost-recovery model removes the incentive for efficiency (as costs are simply passed through).
    • Affordable Housing: Commissioner Dean and Mark (public commenter) stressed the need to find a sustainable mechanism (e.g., General Fund backfill, dedicated housing fund, transfer of development rights) to allow fee waivers for affordable housing projects without raising rates for all other payers, noting fees disproportionately impact affordability.
    • Timelines: Lizanne stressed the importance of tracking and meeting the hard deadlines without falling back into slow averages (e.g., the current 120-day average for Type 1 permits, versus the 65-day goal).
  • Scheduling: The DCD team proposed holding a workshop to refine the fee ordinance on August 5, followed by a hearing on August 19, and adoption on August 26, to meet the tentative September 1 effective date.

Public Comments

  • Lizanne: Acknowledged staff improvements but expressed concern over the emphasis on compliance measures exempting punishment rather than a clear commitment to hitting the 65-day deadline. Stressed tightening timelines for SDRs and LLRs (outside of the 5290 clock).
  • Tom O'Connell: Stated the current fee methodology lacks intrinsic efficiency incentives, risking future cost inflation (the "600-dollar toilet seat" problem). Recommended leaving ample time between the public hearing and adoption to incorporate input.
  • Sally: Supported the fee increase and suggested it should be higher to allow DCD to sufficiently staff up to meet the hard deadlines. Asked if Environmental Health is also subject to SB 5290 (Answer: No).
  • Mark: Generally supported the 100% cost recovery and noted the critical need to identify ways to mitigate fee increases for affordable housing projects due to the impact on the overall housing situation.

Supporting Materials Referenced

  • Fee Study Model (Excel Spreadsheet)
  • SB 5290 Fact Sheet & Bill Text
  • DCD Fee Schedule
  • RCW 3000

Financials

  • Current Base Rate: $111.00/hour.
  • Proposed Base Rate: $123.20/hour (to meet 100% cost recovery).
  • Current Subsidy: General Fund covers the resulting shortfall.
  • SB 5290 Penalties: 10% to 20% refund of collected fees for failing deadlines if insufficient efficiency measures are adopted.

Alternatives & Amendments

  • Alternatives Proposed for Affordability: Explore TDRs (Transfer of Development Rights), density bonuses in urban zones, and formalizing a policy where the General Fund backfills waived fees for affordable housing projects.

Outcome, Vote, and Next Steps

  • Decision: The Board implicitly supported DCD pursuing 100% cost recovery via an hourly rate increase, provided cost efficiencies are adopted. The Board also supported developing flexibility for affordable housing projects.
  • Next Steps:
    • DCD: Will refine the draft Fee Schedule/Ordinance, incorporating streamlined processes (reducing hours charged for simple permits) and the proposed hourly rate increase.
    • Scheduling: The Board and DCD will confirm a schedule (targeting a workshop on Aug 5 and a hearing around Aug 19/26) to adopt the ordinance by September 1, 2024.
    • DCD: Will apply for a Commerce digital permit grant.

Recognition of Deputy Clerk of the Board

Metadata

  • Time Range: 06:22:23.183–06:24:22.100
  • Agenda Item: Recognition of Deputy Clerk
  • Categories: personnel, operations

Topic Summary

The Board, led by Commissioner Dean, recognized Deputy Clerk of the Board Lizanne Noland for achieving certification as a Certified Municipal Clerk (CMC) from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, noting the rigor of the training and the importance of having two certified clerks in the County.

Key Discussion Points

  • CMC Certification: Requires over three years of attending annual conferences, academy sessions, and other trainings geared for the Clerk of the Board.
  • Achievement: Reached by Lizanne Noland after dedicated effort.
  • County Status: It was noted that having two certified municipal clerks in the Board's office is a significant and positive distinction among the state's 39 counties.
