MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
School District Response dated April 18, 2011
THIS AGREEMENT, by and between Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort LLP (Company)
and Brinnon School District #46 (District) is designed to identify those impacts to the District
associated with the development of the Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort (Resort), now
under regulatory review by the County, not addressed by increased revenue from the proposed
Resort and subject to supplemental mitigation to assure concurrency in accordance with the
ordinance of approval, Ordinance 01-0128-08, paragraph 63(c), which provided a requirement
that the SEIS review memoranda of understanding on appropriate mitigation for the following:
To provide needed support for the Brinnon School District, Fire District, Emergency
Service (EMS), Staff Housing, Police, Public Health, Parks and Recreation and Transit ...
The November 2007 FEIS provided the followine commentary:
3.5.4 Schools
The Brinnon/Black Point area is located within the Brinnon School District #46 and
serves grades K-8 plus the District has a pre-school program. Students of high school
age attend their district of choice. The Brinnon School utilizes four regular classrooms,
one serviceable portable classroom, a combination computer/library room, gym, and
administrative offices.
In 2000, the school district had a total enrollment of 74 students. This declined to a low
of between 30 and 40 students in 2005, but rose to 56 students during the 2005-2006
school year. School enrollment for 2006-2007 was 49, and the enrollment for the 2007-
2008 school year was 45. In 2010, the enrollment declined to 31.5 full-time equivalent
students (including kindergarten which is counted as half days). The current average
enrollment for the 2010-2011 school year is 34.0 full time equivalent students. The
District also enrolls thirteen (13) pre-school students on campus. Thirty-five (35) high
school students are enrolled in the district of their choice, with funding provided by the
Brinnon School District.
Seasonal recreational homes are not expected to add students to the school district, so no
impacts are expected from that component of the resort population. Since the proposed
Resort Staff Housing is intended for both resort staff and Brinnon residents, it is expected
that some of these units would be occupied by families with school-age children.
The Capital Facilities Element of the County BSAP MPR Alternative has established an
LOS standard for the Brinnon School of 23 students per classroom. With four regular
classrooms and one serviceable portable classroom, the school can accommodate up to
115 students based on the established LOS. For the last six years the school has had an
excess capacity and the coming year will reach 32% of its capacity.
The Resort and the Brinnon School District
The Resort will endeavor to team with the Brinnon School District to explore ways to increase
revenue to the District's budget. However, in the long term, increased revenue will come from
increased enrollment.
In addition to the above described measures, the Resort would contribute to the District as
follows:
1. Two dollars for each paid round of golf.
2. Two dollars for each paid spa treatment.
3. A bonus of one dollar per hour when employment -age students of Brinnon residents
attending Brinnon or other Jefferson County Public Schools are employed by the Resort.
4. Visitors to the Resort will be given the opportunity to contribute a financial gift to the
Brinnon School Development Program.
5. If local Brinnon residents are stimulated to enjoy the Resort amenities, their support of
the Resort would also contribute to the Brinnon School District through the methods of
contribution described in measures 1 and 2, above.
6. Education opportunities:
a. The Resort will have a conference center that will be available at specific times
for the District for teaching purposes.
b. The Resort's employees and consultants will be available to teach students about
the high standards of Green Technologies used to develop and operate the Resort.
C. Scholarships will be available to Jefferson County students interested in
Environmental Studies, Health -Care studies, and Hotel Management programs.
All of the above items 1-6 shall have no sunset provision and shall continue to be carried
forward should the development be sold at some future date ( "run with the land").
