Action Plan Network (HAPN) was created to help with the implementation of the housing strategies.
HAPN has met monthly since January, 2007 and they have identified a need for additional guidance
regarding the committee. Ryan Hunter stated that the resolution before the Board provides composition,
terms of office and procedural rules for the Housing Action Plan Network Committee. They are also
requesting that the Board accept the recommendation for appointment of the members to the committee.

Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of April 7, 2008
The Port Townsend City Council has already accepted a first reading of the resolution and the
recommendation for membership except for a recent change of the Jefferson County Planning Commission's
representative to Barbara Nightingale.

that the original plan has a sunset provision that would require a review of the Committee's progress after 3
years. Commissioner Sullivan replied that he would rather have the resolution state that the work of the
Committee would be evaluated in 3 years and not include the sunset clause. Commissioner Austin pointed
out that the final phrase in the resolution states that the City Council and the Board can extend the timeline
for the work by joint resolution at the end of 3 years.
