Appointments/Reappointment to the Tri-Area Community Center Board of
Directors: There are three vacant positions on this Board and three people have submitted
letters of interest. Commissioner Huntingford made a motion to reappoint Will Garris to a
two year term that expires on March 4, 1996, to appoint Jane A. Rogers to a two year term
that expires on June 20, 1996, and to appoint Jack L. Wade to an unexpired term that expires
on May 19, 1995. Commissioner Wojt seconded the motion which carried by unanimous

GMA Update: Rick Sepler, the consultant that is working on the zoning code,
explained that he had planned to have the document available for today's meeting. He added
that there were several minor technical corrections to be made and he wanted to review the
document for accuracy. It will be available for next week's agenda.
GMA Project Manager Steve Ladd reported that next Saturday Ken Olsen, the consultant hired
to work with Tri-Area residents on the Comprehensive Plan, will hold the first workshop from
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Tri-Area Community Center. Forty-five residents have signed up to
attend.
Steve Ladd added that he met with City of Port Townsend staff last week regarding
population projections. The City does not agree with the County's original projections and
they have hired their own consultant to prepare a new study. In reviewing the consultant's
scope of work it appears that these projections will be for the entire County and not just for
the City of Port Townsend. David Goldsmith stated that according to the Countywide
Planning Policies, the City is a municipal entity and the County is the regional government.
The City initiating a population projection study for the entire County is contrary to these
policies. However, the County does agree that the City should have population projection
numbers for the Tri-Area because of the water service issue. The Commissioners agreed that
the County and the City need to work together on this issue. Steve Ladd wiJl go to the
City's meeting on population projections this week and advise the City of the County's
position.
Steve Ladd reported on an additional method of public participation that the Planning
Commission and Planning Department have discussed. It is calJed a "Correspondence
Committee" on land use. An advertisement in the newspaper would ask for people interested
in land use, future development and the Comprehensive Plan to join this committee. They
would not attend meetings, but packets would be sent to them as the Planning Commission
or Planning Department generated information on the comprehensive plan. The members of
this committee would then be required to provide comments on the packets. There was a
brief discussion on the Planning Commission's role with this committee.
Kent Anderson, Development Review Supervisor, reported on the implementation of the
Critical Areas Ordinance. Tasks have been assigned to staff and time lines have been set.
There will be meetings scheduled for businesses that wi]] have to deal with the ordinance.
There will be another meeting on June 30 with staff to review the results of the work on the
implementation. He also reported that the Planning Department wiJl be revising the SEP A
Implementing Ordinance. This wiJl require an environmental impact statement because of the
type of amendments. They hope to have a scoping meeting for the EIS on July 13.
GMA Project Coordinator for Public Works, Suzanne Drum, reported that Port Townsend
School District is the only junior taxing district that has not submitted a Capital Facilities
inventory. That information wiJl be submitted this week. The information for all the
providers will be divided into two scenarios, one showing existing levels of service and one
showing the provider's recommended levels of service. They plan to have drafts of this
document available in the next few weeks.
