MINUTES
Week of June 25, 2001
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Glen Huntingford. Commissioners Richard
Wojt and Dan Titterness were both present.
Josh Peters, Department of Community Development re: Major Industrial Development
(MID) Update: Jeff Randall, Planner for the City of Port Townsend, was present when Associate Planner
Josh Peters explained that City and County planning staff drafted this document. A draft ordinance or
amendment to the UDC will be presented at the next Joint Growth Management Steering Committee
meeting, as well as a draft MOU with the City. In accordance with the motion made by Commissioner
Titterness at the last JGMSC meeting, there is a triggering mechanism for review, depending on the size of
the project, which will also dictate the agencies involved in that review. There are two kinds of MIDs. One
is based on size and one is based on the type of enterprise (i.e. resource based.)
Commissioner Wojt asked what type of dispute resolution process is required if the City and County don't
agree on a proposal? Josh Peters replied that if the City and County don't agree, staff from both agencies
will provide their comments to the Hearing Examiner and if the permit is denied because of those
comments, the permit will go through the Hearing Examiner appeal process. Jeff Randall advised that
applicants for MIDs want certainty and that is why they tried to create a process similar to other permitting
processes.
The location for a proposed MID can be in the City or the County. The applicant can look throughout the
County for properties that will meet their business needs. The criteria for review of the MID will be the
same in both jurisdictions. The process allows for input from the City and the County and the applicant will
be aware of the parameters. An open record hearing before the Hearing Examiner will apply the MID
criteria.
Commissioner Wojt asked the timeline for this draft to be adopted? Josh Peters reported that it will be ready
for the next Joint Growth Management Steering Committee meeting on July 12, 2001. Jeff Randall reported
that he will be drafting the MOU and then the criteria will have to be drafted for the UDC. It is proceeding
on the timeline originally established.

Chairman Huntingford asked about designating the MID site as a UGA as stated on the chart? Jeff
Randall advised that this wording and process is taken from the Growth Management Act. This type of
UGA is different from other UGAs. Chairman Huntingford questioned how much work is involved if
each MID must be designated as a UGA as well? He asked that the staff research the legislative intent
regarding the designation of an MID as a UGA. Josh Peters stated that they will contact OTED about
this.

Decision Document Relating to Tri-Area/Glen Cove Special Study and Instructions to
Staff,; Resolution and Notice o£Adoption: County Administrator Charles Saddler reported that there
are two actions required to meet the Board's directive. Tasks 1 through 4 of the Special Study have been
completed. Task 5 and 6 must be completed prior to any action by the Board to change commercial or
urban designated lands in the County. Tasks 5 and 6 need to be completed by January 2002. He pre-
sented "Exhibit A," a revised timeline for the consultant's work. He asked that the Board allow the RFQ
to proceed immediately and that it be handled as a sole source procurement. There are 3 consultants: EES,

Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of June 25, 2001
Olson (formerly Olsen & Grieves) and Earthtech that have worked for the County on related projects. These
consultants have the background and know more than anyone about this issue. He asked for permission to
enter into negotiations with these consultants. Commissioner Titterness asked if this will save the County
money as well as time? Charles Saddler replied that it may not cost less because not advertising for an RFQ
will take away the competitiveness. He will do his best to negotiate a good price for this work. They are
concerned about the time line and bringing on new consultants who need time to become familiar with the
work. Commissioner Wojt added that the real savings is that the County may be able to make some
decisions sooner. Charles Saddler stated that if one of the 3 consultants is unable, unwilling, or doesn't have
a good price, the County will still have the ability to contact one of the other firms for this work.
Commissioner Tittemess moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 58-01, adopting a Decision Document
relating to Glen Cove and the Th-Area and directing County staff to move forward and complete Tasks 5
and 6 of the Tri Area and Glen Cove Special Study for ultimate action by the County Commissioners on or
before December 31, 2002. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Charles Saddler advised that he will go ahead with negotiations with the previous consultants as a sole
source procurement rather than advertize for an RFQ because of the timeline.
Discussion and Possible Adoption of Recommended Ordinance to Amend the UDC; On-
Site Septic Requirements: This was canceled and will be rescheduled to a later date.
The meeting was recessed at the end of the scheduled business and reconvened on Tuesday
morning. Chairman Huntingford and Commissioner Tittemess were present. Commissioner Wojt was not
present. The Board attended an Executive Session from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. with the County Administrator,
Prosecuting Attorney, Community Development Director, Environmental Health Director, and the
Natural Resource Manager regarding actual litigation.
