02:14:46 Angela Glore NODC (she|her): Hi online folks! I will capture your thoughts either via chat or youâre welcome to come off mute, too, and weâll scribe for you.
02:15:57 Heidi Eisenhour, Jefferson County Commissioner: Thanks - Can only hear a few people speaking. For shared vision it feels like our lead staff are a good place to focus - Joe,
Eron, John, Josh. Or with a delegate for our boards.
02:17:05 Karen Bennett: Include EDC ED
02:18:33 Heidi Eisenhour, Jefferson County Commissioner: Yes! Absolutely include EDC. Do our four entities need to pass expanded 'resolutions' to add the EDC to the ICG??
02:25:55 Karen Bennett: Needed: facilitator to coalesce, and potentially examples of other frameworks.
02:26:08 Karen Bennett: ...other Econ Dev framework examples
02:38:13 Heidi Eisenhour, Jefferson County Commissioner: Infrastructure - all entities plus EDC, identify weak areas, gaps, points of emphasis (!) - commercial and industrial opportunities.
02:38:46 Heidi Eisenhour, Jefferson County Commissioner: Port Hadlock, Glen Cove, LAMIRDs, Port Townsend(!)
02:41:07 Heidi Eisenhour, Jefferson County Commissioner: Project specific SWAT teams / task forces. Like it!
02:42:44 Heidi Eisenhour, Jefferson County Commissioner: Grant writers, public funding committees (like PIF)
02:45:44 Karen Bennett: I want to say that in many of these topics, we really should include doing outreach to other cities, counties, PUDs, states, who might be further along on the
maturity scale of econ dev to gather great ideas and practices that solved similar challenges. There are alot of creative and complex approaches out there.
02:47:54 Karen Bennett: Success is that the outcome needed from what monies were gathered/spent is the right one.
02:49:05 Heidi Eisenhour, Jefferson County Commissioner: We saw the effect of large projects on revenues the past few years - PH sewer, fish passage barrier removal projects. What kind
of projects can we pursue together that will provide this kind of boost?
02:54:17 Karen Bennett: Thank you Karen, I agree with that approach re housing. I almost put housing with infra. they both might seesaw together in a way.
02:57:34 Heidi Eisenhour, Jefferson County Commissioner: Convene all of the housing providers OR inventory them as to what has been done over the past 20 years by who with what funding.
02:57:58 Heidi Eisenhour, Jefferson County Commissioner: Habitat says they need more land, having a hard time finding places to build houses.
02:58:59 Heidi Eisenhour, Jefferson County Commissioner: Yes, to all the groups Heather just mentioned.
03:03:31 Heidi Eisenhour, Jefferson County Commissioner: Assess housing needs / opportunities to segments / builders of.
03:14:36 Kenneth Collins: How can we access the earlier work on vision for the county referenced earlier in our conversation?
