PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following is a summary
of comments made by citizens in attendance at the
meeting and reflect their personal opinions:
• A citizen commented on an old community home in
Taos, New Mexico, and an Earthship Community,
stating we could learn a lot from them as they are
environmentally friendly and exempt from zoning
laws;
• A citizen stated: 1) This evening, the Port Townsend
City Council will be discussing another revision to
the Proposition 1 Sales Tax agreement between the
City and County which places a cap on sales tax that
the City is obligated to pay the County and it also
requires the County to spend $175,000 on three
very specific projects. He questioned why the City
gets to dictate to the County how it spends capital
project funding?; and 2) The City is trying to get
Jefferson Transit to buy the Visitor Center building
located at Haines Place and he does not think that
should be done.; and
• A citizen stated: There is need for development of
infrastructure in Quilcene to promote business
development. Public Infrastructure Funding was
approved in 2012 for a wastewater management
system for Quilcene which has yet to be started. She
questioned why this project cannot get done?; and
2) There is $884,000 from the state sitting in the
bank for improvements to State Highway 101 where
Quilcene children are in danger.
