PRESENTATION re: Navy Joint Land Use Study (JL US): The Department of
Community Development (DCD) has been working with the Department of the Navy and neighboring
jurisdictions regarding a land use study.
Representative of Naval Base Kitsap, Lynn Wall, gave a presentation regarding the proposed Joint Land

was accepted and assigned a project manager. The next phase of the process is to see if there is an
interest in participation by local government.
As part of her presentation, Ms. Wall discussed the need for collaboration to promote compatible use
and military mission sustainment. She also gave an overview of some compatible use issues and possible
impacts to military operations, the OEA's role in assisting State and Local Governments to promote
compatible use and how the JLUS can be beneficial. Commissioner Sullivan mentioned it may be a
good idea to get Jefferson County Transportation and Parks involved in this process as well. He also
suggested reserving areas for hunting. Commissioner Johnson wanted the scope of the JLUS to include
potable water and navigation as well.
Ms.Wall discussed the roles that the communities and the OEA would play, should the JLUS be
accepted. Chairman Austin inquired about the funding regarding staff time during meetings? Ms. Wall
