DISCUSSION re: Population and Allocation: County Administrator Philip Morley
explained that the City of Port Townsend and Jefferson County are required to update their
Comprehensive Plans under the Growth Management Act (GMA). Pursuant to state law, the City is
required to have their plan completed prior to 2016 with a time frame for 2016-2036. Jefferson County
received an extension due to our small County size so our timeframe is 2018-2038. Work on the
comprehensive plan update requires coordination and agreement between the City and the County on
certain items, especially future population projections and allocations, through the Joint Growth

Management Steering Committee (JGMSC). The JGMSC has completed their work and voted

Planned Resort (4.5%) and unincorporated Rural and Resource areas of the County (30%). The
population allocation is a foundational element of the GMA Comprehensive Plan and will be utilized in
the update of the City's and the County's comprehensive plans.
Commissioner Johnson moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 38-15 Adopting a Countywide Growth
