BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CONSENT AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Mark McCauley, Interim County Administrator
DATE: June 14, 2021
RE: Agreement, RE: 5-way Agreement for Economic Development Services
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: During the Associate Development Organization (ADO) designation
process concerns were raised regarding EDC Team Jefferson's ability to advance economic
development in the county, largely due to a paucity of resources. During discussions with the
City of Port Townsend, the Port of Port Townsend, Public Utility District No. 1 and the EDC it
became clear that each government should contribute in some amount to financing EDC's
economic development activities. The four governments agreed that some structure was
needed to guide the use of these financial resources. This led to the development of a 5-way
agreement between the parties, which is attached.
ANALYSIS: The agreement specifies a governance structure, establishes requirements for
metrics, communication and accountability, identifies the financial contributions required by
each of the governments, contains projected budget and staffing and a detailed scope of work.
The Board of County Commissioners discussed an earlier version of the agreement on Monday,
June 7, 2021. The version attached to this agenda request is substantively the same with
changes made for clarity. The term of this agreement is synchronized with the state's fiscal year
and the biennial ADO designation schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT: This request costs $25,000 in 2021 (six months), $50,000 in 2022 (twelve
months) and $25,750 in 2023 (six months). These amounts will be paid out of Non-
departmental in the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached grant 5-
way agreement for economic development services.

effective economic development activities to support each government’s missions and
services, strengthen the economic base upon which thegovernmentparty’s’ servicesrely,
and enhance the welfare of all people and businesses in Jefferson County. In particular, by
