JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Philip Morley, County
Administrator
FROM David Goldsmith, Interim Community Development Director
DATE: Februrary 1, 2016
SUBJECT: Contract for Growth Management Act Update Grant
ATTACHMENT: Proposed contract between Jefferson County and the Washington State
Department of Commerce for a GMA update grant
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The State Department of Commerce, Growth Management Services {Commerce} is offering grants
to assist local communities in completing the work of updating their comprehensive plans and
development regulations by certain due dates. Commerce is offering Jefferson County $48,000 for
the period up to June 30, 2016.
ANALYSIS:
Commerce has established schedules of when GMA-mandated comp plan and development
regulation updates are due. Jefferson County's update is due by July 1, 2018. In order to reach this
deadline considerable effort and resources will be necessary. Initial work on updating the comp
plan is already in progress by staff and the Planning Commission. The grant funds will serve to
further the work on the mandated legislative changes and serve to kick start a border public
conversation on community desired updates to the existing plan other than just those mandated.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
The grant funds will be used to support DCD staff in doing the work of updating the initial
mandated changes to the comp plan and development regulations. These funds will supplement the
2016 DCD budget for this year, however they are not intended to supplant local monies set aside
which will still be required for completion of the entire update of the comprehensive plan and
development regulations.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the contract with Commerce to receive up to $48,000 to assist with the work of updating
Jefferson County's comprehensive plan and development regulations.
