Hunsucker, Chief Civil Deputy Prosecuting Attorney DATE: December l �, 2017 RE: Consent Agenda: Approval of Temporary Easement to Use Memorial Field for Water Street Construction by City of Port Townsend STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The City of Port Townsend ("City") plans to do construction work on Water Street and replace some 100 -year old water and sewer lines beginning in January 2018. The City already has let the construction contract. The City needs space for a staging area for this work, and space is available for this purpose at Memorial Field. ANALYSIS: This is a temporary measure while the City completes the construction. This use will not interfere with any of the multiple uses of Memorial Field, including sports. The City will protect the area with a chain link fence and will place a temporary pad upon the field. When the City is finished with the staging area, it will remove the fence and temporary pad. The City will then, and will then restore the staging area to its original condition. The Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) approved a similar arrangement in 2010 when the City was doing work on Madison Street. This work will benefit citizens of the County, will foster positive relations with the City, and will generate revenue for the County. FISCAL IMPACT: The City agrees to pay a fee for the temporary easement of $1000 per month, generating an additional approximately $6,000 of revenue for Memorial Field. RECOMMENDATION: Sign the attached temporary easement and forward it the City forthwith.
