Appointment to the Ferry Advisory Committee (FAC): The Board interviewed Lisa Lynes
who submitted a letter of interest to become a member of the Ferry Advisory Committee.
Commissioner Johnson moved to appoint Lisa Lynes to an unexpired term on the Ferry Advisory
Committee. Commissioner Austin seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Ms. Lynes
term will expire on February 26, 2011.
Washington State Ferry Advisory Board Update: Tim Caldwell, Ferry Advisory Committee
acknowledged Tom Thiersch, who is also a committee member; and welcomed Lisa Lynes to the committee.
He reported that the State Legislature has approved the WSFS Thirty Year Operational and Capital Plan.
Three "Island Home" vessels are the only new boats in the plan. One of these vessels is currently under
construction and will be used on the Port Townsend/Keystone run. They will be going out to bid on the
other two by the end of the summer. Larger vessels will be put on the Bremerton and San Juan Island routes
but other routes will maintain the current service. There are no plans to update the terminals although minor
repairs will be done.
This year the State Legislature is being tasked with creating a dedicated funding source for WSFS. The
State Transportation Commission recently approved a 2.5% fare increase that will go into affect in October.
They are looking at a 10%super-surcharge for summer travel in 2010. They are also talking about a "paid
in full" reservation system on all routes within the next few years. They hope to start with a pilot project on
the Edmonds/Kingston route in 2010. The Board voiced their concerns and asked questions about the
current reservation system.
Effective September 1, the WSFS will no longer run the Vashon/Seattle passenger only ferry service. The
King County Ferry District has taken over the run. This could be an opportunity to look into other public or
public/private partnerships in order to develop other passenger only ferry service such as a Port
Townsend/Seattlerua.
Commissioner Austin stated that he read that Senator Murray was able to get Federal Stimulus Funding to
fund a passenger only ferry between Bainbridge Island and Seattle. Tim Caldwell explained that Kitsap
Transit applied for the grant funding for a pilot program. They will purchase the most suitable vessel
available to travel through the inlet, making little or no wake, in order to minimize environmental damage.
County Administrator Briefing Session: The following subjects were discussed.
• Jefferson Land Trust presentation on purchase of Tomanowas Rock
• Shoreline Master Plan schedule adjustments
• Planning Commission interview process update by Department of Community Development
• Briefing on meeting with Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark regarding State
Department of Resources/Pope Resources land exchange in Port Ludlow
• Update on Department of Community Development budget and projects
