JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CONSENT AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of Commissioner
Philip Morley, County Administrator
FROM: Patty Charnas,Director, Dept, Community Development (DCD)
DATE: March 8,2021
RE: Supplement# 1 to the Professional Services Contract for Watkins
Law PLLC- Adding Tasks, Funds and Time Extension.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The purpose of this amendment is to allow for additional time,tasks and funding to the
existing contract with Watkins Law PLLC for the purpose of providing interim management
services to DCD while the department recruits for a permanent Planning Manager.
This supplement provides additional consultant contract time, tasks and funding and extends
the existing contract to May 31, 2021 or such time a permanent Planning Manager is hired,
whichever comes first.
ANALYSIS:
The Department of Community Development ("DCD") leads the County's efforts in the
planning, land use and environmental permitting and planning projects. The department has
been without a Planning Manager since fall of 2019. In the interim, contractual leadership has
-- - been used for both the PlanningManager position and duties as well as for the Director
position and duties when that position was temporarily reassigned to address the public health
emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Contracted professional services are needed to provide management capacity to DCD while
DCD works with other county leaders to recruit, interview and select a permanent Planning
Manager. The term of the current Professional Services Agreement for Watkins Law LLC
expires on May 1, 2021. This amendment provides additional time, tasks and funds in support
of interim Planning Manager services. The principal of Watkins Law PLLC previously held
the position of DCD Planning Manager in 2018-19 after which the incumbent was hired as the
Deputy Civil Prosecuting Attorney with Jefferson County. The services provided by Mr.
Watkins both as the previous Planning Manager and currently as the consultant assisting the
2020 Comprehensive Plan docket have been highly satisfactory and this work has assisted the
County in accomplishing solid work and policy recommendations.
Consent Agenda
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Supplement#1 is not to exceed $31,200. These funds are budgeted for the Planning
Manager position in the department's approved budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Execute the contract amendment.

JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners (BoCC)
Philip Morley,County Administrator
FROM: Linda Paralez,Acting Director,Department of Community Development
DATE: November 9,2020
SUBJECT: Request Sole Source Professional Services Contract Supporting Jefferson
County,WA's 2020 Docket of Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments
ATTACHMENTS:
• Cost Estimate for Professional Services Supporting Jefferson County, WA's 2020
Docket of Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendments
• PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT SUPPORTING THE 2020 ANNUAL
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT DOCKET
• Sole Source Justification for Watkins Law Group to Provide Long Range Planning
Services Support for the 2020 Comprehensive Planning Docket
• CONTRACT REVIEW FORM
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Department of Community Development is experiencing
record high levels of permitting and inspection activity in 2020, while also undergoing staffing
shortages due to unfilled positions,reassignments, retirements,medical leave, and extended
vacations. To meet the Long Range Planning 2020 Comprehensive Planning Docket, due for
adoption April 2021,external professional-level support is needed in the form of a sole-source
contract with Watkins Law beginning immediately,through the end of April.
ANALYSIS: In early March due to the COVID19 limitations,the Board of County
Commissioners(BoCC) constrained the 2020 Comprehensive Planning Docket to two items—
the Port Hadlock capital facilities update, and the Seton site specific rezone. Accordingly,
DCD proceeded to assign one part-time staff person to this work, along with the Shoreline
Master Plan update project. In August and September,however, the Planning Commission
(PC)resumed meeting, and developed recommendations for the BoCC to add five additional
2020 docket items. After deliberation, the BoCC changed the 2020 Comprehensive Planning
Docket in October to include:
• Port Hadlock capital facilities update,
• Seton site specific rezone,
• Remove Marijuana as a conditional use allowance from Rural Residential Zoning,and
• Update Brinnon Sewer LAMRID.
