We considered five specific questions.HTTF Findings and Recommendations3 Working Uncoordinated DRAFT Key Findings 1. There are viable site locations in Port Hadlock that can serve a larger portion of the Jefferson County community 2. There is a significant cost/risk premium associated with building on the MVP site. 3. To a great extent, an acquatic facility can be designed to cost. With a minimum cost of approximately $24-25M 4. We need a financial plan that balances project revenues and costs. 5.We must take the time now to build a complete affordable plan before asking for public funding! Start by establishing a PFD and partnering with the JAC to form a public-private coalition. 6.We need to find a way to support the current MVP through FY 28. PRESENTATION TITLE4 Working Uncoordinated DRAFT Findings –Site Locations 5 1.The HEALTHIER TOGETHER CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY only considered locations in Port Townsend. 2.There are viable site locations in Port Hadlock that can serve a larger portion of the Jefferson County community. Recommendation: The county should consider an aquatic facility in Port Hadlock. Two suitable sites were identified; •Land adjacent to H. J. Carrol Park (Would be on septic system) •Land by Library (Would be on sewer system) Working Uncoordinated DRAFT Comparison of MVP location to Port Hadlock location within a 20 min commute 6 MVP location Port Hadlock locationAdvantages of Port Hadlock Locations: •Supports ~7000 more county residents within 20 min commute •Supports county plans for urban expansion •Supports Options for sewer and septic systems •Centrally located for schools •South county residents are used to traveling to Port Hadlock for groceries Working Uncoordinated DRAFT Findings –Construction Costs 7 1.There is a significant cost/risk premium associated with building on the MVP site on the order of $2-8M.(There are several conflicting estimates for deconstruction, pipe relocation, and water runoff mitigation. No certain cost esimate can be reached until a required state study is completed and resulting solution is designed.) 2.The HEALTHIER TOGETHER CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY provides an unconstrained concept design and parametric cost estimate driven by unconstrained community input. No effort was made to constrain costs. 3.Several other communities in Washington have been able to design and build aquatic facilities at lower cost! To a great extent, an acquatic facility can be designed to cost with larger or smaller changing rooms, general purpose rooms, and finishes. Comparing similar facilities around the area, it appears a likely the minimum cost is $24-25M for an indoor aquatic facility starting construction in FY27. 4.There are repair options that could marginally extend the life of the MVP but doesn’t modernize the facility. (This does not appear to be a long-term cost-effective approach.) 5.The need for a Septic system appears to add $2M to the costs to build an aquatics center at the H.J. Carrol site.

With a larger facility it maybe possible to cover operations and maintenance costs but the data is not conclusive. 2.Likely O&M costs range from $1.2M to $2M. Cost Recover runs ??? 3.An aquatic facility will require $350K to $1M in assistance to operate.

Working Uncoordinated DRAFT Findings –Budget Planning 11 1.A HEALTHIER TOGETHER AQUATIC FACILITY will cost at least $24-25M to build starting in 2027 requiring annual debt service payments of $1.720M annually for 30 years. (A $20M bond would require $1.376M in annual debt service.) 2.A HEALTHIER TOGETHER AQUATIC FACILITY will require between $0.350-1M in subsidies to operate annually 3.A PFD also requires management adding ~$100K annually 4.A Public Facilities District -PFD can levy up to a 0.2% sales tax which could generate $1.5M and growing starting in FY27 5.We need a financial plan that balances project revenues and costs. The current numbers don’t work.

There are viable site locations in Port Hadlock that can serve a larger portion of the Jefferson County community 2. There is a significant cost/risk premium associated with building on the MVP site. 3. To a great extent, an acquatic facility can be designed to cost. With a minimum cost of approximately $24-25M 4. We need a financial plan that balances project revenues and costs. 5.Take the time now to build a complete affordable plan before asking for public funding!
