JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTHIER TOGETHER CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY | SEPTEMBER 2023 4
The Healthier Together Center Feasibility Study (HTFS) is a
comprehensive planning effort focused on confirming the
need and developing a compelling and practical vision for an
aquatic and health / wellness center to serve the communities
of Jefferson County and Port Townsend. The replacement of the
existing Mountain View Pool has been identified as a long-term
need with many planning efforts over the past decades to plan
and rebuild the pool with a community and wellness facility for
Port Townsend, East Jefferson County and Jefferson County as
a whole.
PROJECT HISTORY & BACKGROUND
Concentrated efforts have been made since 2001 by the City of Port
Townsend, in 2008 by a nonprofit, in 2012 by Jefferson County, and
2014-2018 by the YMCA and Hospital District. The ongoing need and
interest in replacing the existing antiquated pool and adding health
and wellness components was documented through community
feedback during the 2020 update to the Parks, Recreation and Open
Space (PROS) Plan. The PROS Plan process included completion
of a community needs assessment survey that received over 900
responses. Additional feedback was gathered through various
stakeholder and community group meetings, open houses, and public
hearings. Aquatics and recreation centers emerged as one of the
highest needs of the community during that process.
The Port Townsend City Council recognized that additional planning
and design was necessary in determining the features, size,
configuration, and costs of construction/operations for a future
aquatic and health and wellness facility and approved the funding
of this feasibility study that was financially supported by a number of
prominent community partners.
The goals for this study are to:
• Increase opportunities for people to live an active and healthy life
• Plan for the future of Jefferson County
• Select a site and rebuild the pool, including health and wellness
components to meet the needs of the community
• Engage Jefferson Hospital District, Jefferson County, Port of Port
Townsend, Port Townsend School District, and JeffCo Aquatics
Coalition this effort.
• Plan for the operations and financing of a new aquatics center
In February 2023 Opsis Architecture and its planning / design team
of specialized consultants initiated work with the project Steering
Committee to develop a comprehensive feasibility study to identify,
evaluate, and select a preferred site, develop a market analysis,
verify the aquatic and other program needs, develop a conceptual
design vision with total project cost estimates, and evaluate
operational and funding strategies. Working with the Steering
Committee, project guiding principles were developed to guide the
planning and design process.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTHIER TOGETHER CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY | SEPTEMBER 2023 5
STAKEHOLDER INPUT & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Stakeholder and Community Engagement input was guided through
City staff and the Healthier Together Center Steering Committee.
The planning / design team engaged in eight (8) workshops with the
Steering Committee including both virtual and in-person meetings.
The design team also presented at two (2) Port Townsend City
Council Meetings and the Jefferson County Commissioners Meetings
to gain their input and feedback that informed this study.
Community Engagement included three (3) Open House Events in
Port Townsend with one (1) in Chimacum. These included both in-
person and virtual options with a presentation followed by questions
and answers. Additionally, three (3) community online surveys
reached out to the larger community. Community input informed the
site selection of the Mt. View Commons site as well as the program
mix and types of features, the concept design character, and the
operations and funding scenarios. The July 2023 Open House
included a review of the final concept design including: capital and
operational costs and the potential funding scenarios including annual
costs to County taxpayers.
In addition to the community feedback directly related to the
Healthier Together Center, the process also highlighted other areas
of community interest including public restrooms and showers and
roadway improvements.
SITE EVALUATION & SELECTION
Site evaluation and selection was an integral part of the planning
process. Four sites located within Port Townsend were evaluated to
support a new aquatic center with a health and wellness component.
The sites included Mountain View Commons, Port Townsend Golf
Course, Jefferson Healthcare, and Evans Vista. These sites were
publicly owned by the City, County and School District or privately
owned by Jefferson Healthcare with the premise they would be
donated to the project and not incur any land acquisition costs. They
are situated in different areas of the City and in proximity to major
roads, public transportation, bike paths, and are easy to access.
Site evaluation criteria was developed to provide a framework for
comparing the sites to one another. This included: development
capacity, economic viability, supports diversity, equity & inclusion,
regulatory approval, and community support. The primary criteria
categories were further defined with sub-categories providing 16
areas of comparison. The criteria were evaluated on a 3-point scale
with “excellent” being the highest score and “poor” being the lowest.
Utilizing this methodology revealed that the Mountain View Commons
site was the preferred location to support the development of a
new aquatics center with health and wellness facility. Greater detail
regarding the site selection process is contained within the body of
this report.
DEMOGRAPHIC & MARKET ANALYSIS
The initial demographics and market analysis was developed in
parallel with the site selection process to help inform the evaluation
site criteria and provide data driven information to assist the design
team and Steering Committee in making informed decisions.
Nationally recognized recreation planning consultant Ballard*King
& Associates applied their years of experience working with
communities throughout the country with specific analysis of the
local market and private-public service providers to understand and
quantify the program needs of the Jefferson County/Port Townsend
community. This analysis highlighted that a growing number of
families, adults, and seniors need more indoor places to play,
recreate, and swim and that Jefferson County is a stable community
with community members that have the ability to pay for the programs
and services outlined in this study.
The existing Mountain View Pool, built in 1963, has provided a much-
needed service to the community for the last 60 years. However, in
repeated evaluations beginning in 2001, it has been identified that
the antiquated pool is past its useful life and needs to be replaced.
Additionally, the 2023 Roof Inspection Report suggested that the pool
building roof has reached the end of its life and needs a complete
replacement.
PROJECT GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Creating a framework to guide the development of the
Healthier Together Center was key to realizing the goals of
this study. The guiding principles provide a benchmark from
which success of the study can be measured.

JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTHIER TOGETHER CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY | SEPTEMBER 2023 6
BUILDING PROGRAM
The building program needs are a direct reflection of the market
analysis, guidance from the Steering Committee along with input
from the community to provide needed health and wellness
activities for the Jefferson County/Port Townsend community.
The space program embraces creating equitable, affordable, and
accessible aquatic and recreation activities for all community
members. Two (2) program options were developed:
Base Option – Aquatics (29,700gsf)
• Aquatics (6-lane 25-yard lap pool, recreation pool, whirlpool, and
sauna)
• Events (birthday party / meeting room)
• Lobby with lounge seating
• Wellness studio space for Jefferson Health Care
• Binary locker rooms and universal / gender-neutral changing
rooms
• Administration, staff, and support spaces
Full Build-Out Option – Aquatics & Recreation (40,200gsf)
• Includes outlined base program spaces
• Gymnasium (one (1) high school court with two (2) cross courts)
• Fitness and group exercise space
CONCEPT DESIGN
The concept design was developed using the space program (base
and full build-out options) and parking needs to develop initial
layouts for the Mountain View Commons site that were refined
through an iterative process with the Steering Committee and the
Community. The building and site layout takes advantage of the
site’s natural topography and benches to nestle the building into
the middle of the site creating two (2) separate parking areas to
serve the Healthier Together Center and the existing Food Bank,
Parks & Recreation Department, and Police Building. Frontage
improvements along Blaine Steet include new curb cuts to access
the reconfigured parking layout.
The conceptual design of the exterior and interior character is
based on a cost-effective approach that works with the topography
and optimal solar orientation drawing from the unique character
of the Maritime and Port Townsend architecture. The steel and
wood framed building offers an efficient layout and scale that
fits the character and setting of Port Townsend. It’s designed to
optimize natural daylighting within an efficient layout that embraces
opportunities for social interaction and sustainable design practices.
CAPITAL & OPERATIONAL COST ESTIMATES
The Concept Design Cost Estimate was developed by DCW
Cost Management utilizing the concept design and architectural
narrative. Cost for the base and full build-out options include
escalation through May 2025 as well as design and construction
contingencies. The total project cost summary includes construction
costs and soft costs. The project cost for the Base Option is $37.1M
and the total project cost for the Full Build-Out Option is $45.9M.
The detailed cost estimate is included in the appendix.
Operational Costs were developed by Ballard*King (B*K) using
the market analysis, similar facilities in the region, input from the
YMCA, and the concept design program and plans. The operational
analysis assumes a conservative approach to the development
and the funding required to operate and maintain the facilities. The
annual operating costs are:
Base Plan Option:
• $1.27M Expense
• $0.84M Revenue
• $0.43M Subsidy
• 66% Cost Recovery
Full Build-Out Option:
• $2.08M Expense
• $1.73M Revenue
• $0.35M Subsidy
• 83% Cost Recovery
A detailed Operational Plan is included in the appendix and includes
information on the membership model and associated fees.
FUNDING STRATEGY
Guidance for a funding strategy was provided by ECONorthwest
based on the Concept Design Cost Estimate and the Operational
Costs. The scale of the existing community means there is a small
tax base which can make it difficult to dedicate funds or encumber
taxpayers with the capital and operational investments necessary to
support replacement of the existing facility. The state of Washington
has made available a range of special purpose districts to address
the operation and funding of parks, recreation, and community
facilities. Over the course of the study, the Steering Committee has
exploredtwo funding and governance mechanisms: a Metropolitan
Park District (MPD) and a Public Facilities District (PFD). Greater
details regarding these two options, including governance and
revenue adequacy, are contained within the body of this report as
well as in the appendix.
With either approach, the Steering Committee has committed
to bringing down the overall cost to the community through a
fundraising effort targeting $15M of the Project Costs. This effort
would include raising $5M through State Grants, $5M through
Federal Grants, and $5M through philanthropy.
RECOMMENDATIONS & TIMELINE
Based on the analysis from this study and community feedback, the
Steering Committee recommends pursuing the Base Aquatics plan
with a desire to implement the Full Build-Out if fundraising efforts
allow. In addition to the $15M fundraising goal, a county-wide PFD
including a 0.2% Sales Tax and a 2% Lodging Tax for lodging over 40
units is recommended.
With the completion of this study, the following are recommended
next steps and associated timeline for moving this project forward:
• Reduce risk by eliminating unknown costs including:
• A Geotech report to be completed in October 2023
• Identification of soft costs to be completed in October 2023
• Develop an informational bond strategy
• Bond Measure in April 2024 to align with grant applications that
will be due in May 2024
JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTHIER TOGETHER CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY | SEPTEMBER 2023 7
The planning process was initiated with an immersive three (3) day
on-site workshop which included tours of the potential building sites
and a workshop with the Steering Committee comprised of County
and City staff, and community and County leaders. The planning
process included eight (8) Steering Committee Workshops and three
(3) community engagement open-house events (both virtual and in-
person) as well as on-line surveys. Input and feedback informed the
site selection, the building program, the Concept Design and the
funding and operational strategy.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The community engagement process sought feedback from both
City of Port Townsend and County Residents through three open
house events at Fort Worden and one open house at Chimacum
School District. To ensure the events were accessible to as many
community members as possible each open house included
an online option and an in-person option and each in-person
event included Childcare and food. Each open house included a
presentation, a question and answer section, and an opportunity for
community feedback. At each in-person event there were between
40-80 community members in attendance and between 20-40
attendees at each virtual event.
Each Open House focused on a specific part of the study for both
the presentation and community feedback including:
• Open House 1 – Site and Program
• Open House 2 – Program and Concept Design
• Open House 3 – Concept Design and Funding Strategy
Each Open House event was coupled with an online survey to allow
community members to provide feedback even if they were not able
to attend the events. The survey was made available through a QR
code and link that was shared on the City’s website and a paper
version was made available to anyone who requested one. Survey
responses ranged from 1,200 for Survey 1,125 responses to Survey 2
and 321 responses to Survey 3.
Community feedback helped guide the selection of the site, the
overall building program, detailed design of the recreation pool,
as well as the overall funding strategy. The detailed results of the
surveys can be found in the Appendix.
In addition the community feedback directly related to the Healthier
Together Center, the process also highlighted other areas of
community interest including public restrooms and showers and
roadway improvements.
PLANNING PROCESS
JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTHIER TOGETHER CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY | SEPTEMBER 2023 8
The site selection process sought to identify the best suited site
for development of the Healthier Together Center. Four (4) sites
were identified by the City as having the greatest potential to
accommodate the project. These sites were Publicly-owned and
geographically centrally located with equitable access to the
community. The four sites included Mountain View Commons, the
Port Townsend Golf Course, Jefferson Healthcare, and Evans Vista.
EXISTING FACILITY
In addition to evaluating these four sites, discussions explored
renovating the existing facility. However community feedback
during earlier efforts indicated a critical need is the ability for the
existing pool to remain open during the construction of a new pool.
A renovation of the existing pool would not allow for this.
Additionally, in 2001 the ORB Organization evaluated the existing
pool and facility and identified the following deficiencies:
• Inadequate length or number of lanes for competitive swimming
• Lack of an accessible entry
• Need for complete replacement of Pool lighting, emergency
lighting and a new fire alarm system as of 2001
• Need for a new pool deck and liner surface by 2016
• Need for a new roof by 2021
The city is currently undertaking an updated evaluation of the
existing pool and facility. This analysis should be available by
October 2023.

• Timing of site decision with this study
The following exhibits depict the site evaluation conducted for Mt. View Commons, the Port Townsend Golf Course, Jefferson Healthcare, and Evans Vista.
CONSIDERED SITES & RECOMMENDATIONS
The evaluation of the four (4) sites and recommended site was informed by the Steering Committee and presented at the Open House in March 2023.
Polling during the meeting and a subsequent online survey suggested a preference for the Mountain View Commons Site. The site evaluation was
presented to the City Council in March 2023 with feedback to explore both the Mountain View Commons site as well as the Golf Course site with the
Jefferson Healthcare and Evans Vista sites removed from further consideration. After further evaluation and input from the Steering Committee and
community polling, the Mountain View Commons site was recommended to the City Council in June 2023 as the preferred site. The City Council
endorsed and approved this recommendation.

The demographics and market analysis highlighted that more indoor
places to play, recreate, and swim are needed in Port Townsend and
Jefferson County in order to support an active lifestyle for seniors and
retain growing families in the community. The analysis also indicates
that Port Townsend and Jefferson County are a stable and growing
community with community members that have the ability to pay for the
programs and services outlined in this study.

MARKET REVIEW
The market review highlighted there are a number
of aquatic, recreation, and fitness facilities in
place in the greater Port Townsend market
including both public and private clubs. However,
the private clubs in the area that provide fitness
and sports amenities serve very different market
needs than a public facility and are not seen to
be in direct competition. This is particularly true
of specialty fitness providers which is the majority
of Port Townsend’s private facilities. A public
facility can also enhance business for private
facilities by serving to introduce more people to
fitness who then seek out specialty providers.
NEEDS ANALYSIS / MARKET CONCLUSION
The market analysis conducted under this study
confirmed and quantified previous assumptions
outlined in the 2020 PROS Plan. The community
has an expressed desire for an aquatics center, as
shown in the survey priorities in the PROS Plan.
and our market analysis confirmed that Jefferson
County community needs and population can
support a comprehensive aquatic/recreation center
particularly with programming that appeals to an
older demographic. Additionally, the ability to draw
potential users from the second home and tourist
market area could add even more users.
As a replacement for the existing Mountain View
pool there is already an established market for
aquatics and the demographic characteristics
show a market area with an active population that
is willing to spend money on recreation activities
and services.
To ensure the success of the project funding not
only for the development but the operation of a
new center should be clearly defined.
Service Areas
Primary
Secondary
SERVICE AREAS
PRIMARY SECONDARY
Two service areas were identified during the study. The Primary Service area is households that will likely use the facility at least once a week. The Secondary service area is households that will likely use the facility on occasion or for events.
Recreational spending potential is not significantly lower than the national average indicating that residents of the two service areas value recreation activities and are willing to potentially spend more for these purposes.
JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTHIER TOGETHER CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY | SEPTEMBER 2023 14
Other program elements were considered and evaluated to support
the health and wellness project vision. This included a Classroom
with Teaching Kitchen and Physical Therapy program space in
partnership with Jefferson Healthcare.
Jefferson Healthcare, also evaluated locating a significant portion
of their Physical Therapy program (5,000sf) at the Mountain
View Commons site. After further analysis, they decided to keep
the physical therapy at their existing hospital site and focus on
a wellness program element for the Healthier Together Center
project. This is a modestly sized multi-use fitness room with a
sprung wood floor that can be utilized for mind-body group exercise
and health & wellness classes.
Community feedback in the Open House events and subsequent
online survey indicated the classroom and teaching kitchen were
less desirable but that a larger rec pool with Lazy River was a key
amenity for families. Additionally, the recreation pool was refined to
provide more space for water aerobics. These and other prior space
program studies are included in the appendix.
In the development of the Building Program, the Steering
Committee raised concern on right-sizing the project and the ability
to fund it. In evaluating the program relative to the capital cost to
build it and the on-going cost to operate it, the Steering Committee
looked to find the right balance of first cost to long-term sustainable
operating costs.
The final building program recommends starting with the base
program option focused on meeting the high priority aquatic needs
and, if finances allow adding additional spaces including a multi-use
one-court gymnasium and a large multi-use fitness space.
BUILDING PROGRAM
With the existing Mt. View Pool at the end of its useful
life, the primary need for the Healthier Together Center
is aquatics, including both a lap pool and warm water
recreation pool. For an area surrounded by water, the
aquatics component provides the critical need for a safe
space in which to teach children how to swim. Additionally,
it provides the senior population an accessible way to
maintain their health and wellbeing long into their retirement
years.
In addition to serving these critical community functions
the two pools also provide opportunities for:
• Water Walking
• Deep Water Group Exercise
• Swim Team Practice
• Swim Clubs
• Water Polo
• Lifeguard Training
• Recreation
• Children’s Waterplay
• Aerobic Exercise
• Therapy
JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTHIER TOGETHER CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY | SEPTEMBER 2023 15
BASE OPTION - AQUATICS
The Base Option focuses on the primary need for a replacement
aquatic facility. The indoor aquatics program includes a 6-lane 25-
yard competition lap pool, warm water recreation pool, whirlpool
spa, and sauna.
The 6-lane 25-yard lap pool replaces the existing undersized
4-lane L-shaped pool with diving tank. This more conventional pool
layout offers more programming opportunities for general fitness,
training, and supports high school swim practice and competitions
with bleacher seating.
The warm water recreation pool includes a lazy river, water
exercise program area, and zero entry children’s play area with
water features. The ramped entry provides ease of access for
community members with mobility needs and a variety of pool
depths can accommodate multiple activities from open swim to
water aerobics and general rehabilitation exercises.
Recreation space includes a 1,000sf multi-use wellness room that
would be leased by Jefferson Healthcare and could be used for
yoga, physical therapy, meditation, and health & wellness classes.
Community focused program areas include a 600sf multi-use room
that could be used for birthday parties or meetings and would serve
as a childwatch space when not otherwise in use. Additionally, a
welcoming lobby space provides community seating areas.
Support areas such as locker rooms, universal changing rooms,
storage and administrative offices are also included to round out
the program.

FULL BUILD-OUT OPTION – AQUATICS & RECREATION
The program areas contained in the Full Build Out Option are
the same as the Base Option with the addition of a multi-purpose
1-court gymnasium which can host a variety of recreation activities
including indoor pickleball, basketball, volleyball courts, indoor
children’s playground, and community events. A 2,000 sf multi-
use fitness space is sized to accommodate group exercise classes
or limited cardio/weight training activities and /or other desired
community uses.
Site Amenities
In addition to the building program, overall site and community
needs were analyzed and the following amenities have been
incorporated into the overall site design:
• Three additional outdoor pickleball courts
• Splash Pad for outdoor water play
• Inclusive Playground
Public Restroom & Shower Facility
This is another program element and need for the Port Townsend
community that was raised at several of the Open House events.
The City acknowledges this need and it is possible it could be
satisfied by an operational model similar to the Token Program
currently operated by the YMCA at the existing Pool. The City will
explore defining the program space need and siting options in a
separate feasibility study.

JEFFERSON COUNTY HEALTHIER TOGETHER CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY | SEPTEMBER 2023 17
Nestled into the grade at the center of the site,
the building creates a visible anchor along
Blaine Street while keeping the scale of the
building appropriate to the surrounding context.
It takes advantage of the existing benches with
a linear layout optimizing south and north facing
orientations. Two (2) separate parking areas are
defined serving both the Healthier Together Center
and the existing community building housing the
Food Bank, YMCA offices, and Police Department.
Improvements along Blaine Steet will include new
curb cuts to access the new parking layouts.
The primary entry in the heart of the site is easily
accessed from Blaine Street by foot or bike along
a wide plaza-like path. A vehicular drop-off zone
at the front of the building provides safe access
without impacting traffic along Blaine Street. To
accommodate the anticipated parking needs
and create a better operational experience for
the adjacent Food Bank, a parking area for the
aquatics center is located to the southwest of
the building while a separate parking area for the
Food Bank is located northeast of the building.
BUILDING ORGANIZATION
The one-story building is efficiently organized along
a central east-west circulation spine. Upon entry,
visitors are greeted by a welcoming lobby with a
variety of seating areas where the community can
come together and congregate in a living room
atmosphere with views into the entry landscaped
garden and the natatorium recreation and lap
pools on display through a glass wall. The child-
watch and birthday party room also have views into
the natatorium and accessed from the lobby. The
reception and administrative offices are centrally
located with direct sightlines for supervision and
controlled access to the lockers / changing rooms
and the aquatic and recreation spaces.
The natatorium contains the warm water
recreation pool, 6-lane 25-yard lap pool,
whirlpool/spa and sauna with a large deck
provides informal gathering areas and pool
bleachers for swim competition spectator seating.
Opposite the natatorium is a 1-court gymnasium
that anchors the recreational side of the building
with a multitude of activities like basketball,
volleyball, pickleball and futsal. Opposite the
gym is a wellness room and multi-use fitness
room which have large windows that look
southwest to Kai Tai Lagoon and the Olympic
Mountains beyond. The multi-use fitness room
can accommodate a range of activities including
group exercise, cardio-weight fitness or function
as a community event space. The adjacent
wellness room provides a tranquil space that can
be used for anything from morning yoga classes
to educational programs.
BUILDING DESIGN & CHARACTER
The exterior design and interior character are
based on a cost-effective approach that integrates
into the topography drawing from the unique
character of the Maritime and Port Townsend
architecture. The steel and wood framed building
offers an efficient layout and scale that fits the
character and setting of the Peninsula and Port
Townsend.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Maximizing daylight and minimizing the need for
artificial light is one of the sustainability goals of
the project. Large southwest facing glazing with
exterior sunshades balances the daylight in the
natatorium and provides views to the surrounding
landscape. This is combined with a northeast
facing clerestory to reduce energy usage and the
sloped roof ideally oriented for solar panels and
the production of renewable energy on site.
CONCEPT DESIGN
The concept design for the Mountain View
Commons 3.9 acres site accommodates
the building space program, parking
requirements, and outdoor amenities
within the enhanced campus setting. Initial
concept design layouts for both a 29,700sf
aquatics center option and 40,200sf aquatic
& recreation center were refined through
an iterative process with the Steering
Committee and the community. Both options
include site development with new parking
lots that accommodate ample accessible
parking stalls and drop-off areas.

Capital building and site construction costs were
developed by DCW Cost Management. The
cost estimate includes design and construction
contingencies and are escalated to a construction
start date in May of 2025. The entirety of the
feasibility study cost plan can be found in the
appendix.
The soft costs were developed using an industry
standard 33% mark-up of the construction costs.
The costs include design and permitting fees,
furniture, fixture and equipment procurement as
well as taxes. The sum of the construction and
soft costs equate to the total project costs needed
to have a completed, fully functioning facility.
Ballard*King developed an operational plan. The
expenses outlined in the plan include but are
not limited to, staff compensation, maintenance
and utilities. Revenue assumptions include a
membership model based on current market
rates and, similar to the existing facility, will offer
a sliding scale to ensure membership is available
to all. The overall revenue supplements the
operational costs but do not cover all anticipated
expenses. The net annual operating costs are
included in the following charts and the entirety of
the Operational Plan is found in the appendix.

FUNDING STRATEGY
METROPOLITAN PARK DISTRICT
MPDs are special districts that operate as
municipal corporations providing for management,
control, improvement, maintenance, and
acquisition of recreational facilities. They are
formed either through a voter petition or a
resolution by each of the governing bodies that
would be included in part or all the districts. The
financing of an MPD is done through a tax levy
and governed by an elected or appointed board.
In exploring the use of an MPD for funding the
Healthier Together Center, an MPD boundary
was developed following the primary service
area where users visiting the facility once a week
would most likely reside.
Throughout the study the Steering Committee
explored a range of levy rates and their ability
to fund the project. Based on market analysis
and feedback from community engagement a
$0.20/$1,000 valuation tax levy with a 20-year
debt service appears to align with community
tolerance for an increase in property tax.
An MPD will require two votes by the public – one to
create the MPD and one to fund it. These can appear
on the same ballot and be linked through language.
PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICT
PFDs are municipal corporations with
independent taxing authority to perform specific
statutory purposes. Their formation is initiated
by ordinance or resolution at the city of county
level. Financing of a PFD is usually achieved
through a variety of voted and non-voted taxing
options including a 0.2% sales tax, admission
taxes, parking taxes, and/or lodging taxes and
are operated as a municipal corporation run by
a board appointed by the associated legislative
body. For this assessment, PFD boundaries align
with the city and county boundary limits.
Throughout the study, the Steering Committee
explored a range of tax levies associated with a
PFD. Based on the funding needs of the project,
the PFD would need to be created at the county
level and include a 0.2% sales tax that must
be voter-approved (simple majority), a voter
approved lodging tax up to 2% for lodging over
40 units, and a levy up to 5% admission tax.
With either approach, additional funds will need
to be raised through state and federal grants
and philanthropy. the Steering Committee has
targeted a $15M fundraising effort including:
• $5M through State Grants,
• $5M through Federal Grants
• $5M through philanthropic donations
In addition to these funding sources, the city
will also continue to support the pool facility
funds from its general fund net of over revenues
generated at the pool. In 2022, the amount of
this general fund support totaled approximately
$400,000. A similar subsidy amount will continue
with the new facility.
After examining the the two funding strategies
and a hybrid version in a variety of ways (including
long-term finanical sustainability, public input,
and governance), the Steering Committee’s
recommendation includes a County-wide PFD
with a 0.2% Sales Tax and a 2% Lodging Tax for
lodging over 40 units. In addition to the Healthier
Together Center, the funds generated through the
PFD will be used to create new turf fields at HJ
Carroll Park.
It is recommended the PFD be place on the ballot
in April 2024 to put the project in good standing
for various grant applications beginning in May
2024.
The entirety of the potential funding strategies
and analysis can be found in the appendix.
The state of Washington has made available a
range of special purpose districts to address
the operation and funding of parks, recreation,
and community facilities. Over the course of
the study, the Steering Committee primarily
explored two funding and governance
mechanisms: a Metropolitan Park District (MPD)
and a Public Facilities District (PFD).

Market Analysis
Ballard*King & Associates (B*K) has completed a market analysis for a possible new Healthier
Together Center to be located in Port Townsend, Washington.
Demographics
The following is a summary of the demographic characteristics for geographic areas around
Port Townsend, Washington. The Primary Area is approximately 88 square miles and
extends south past Chimacum. The Secondary Service Area includes the same area but
extends south to Hood Canal and east past Port Ludlow.
B*K accesses demographic information from Environmental Systems Research Institute
(ESRI) who utilizes 2020 Census data and their demographers for 2022-2027 projections. In
addition to demographics, ESRI also provides data on housings, recreation, and
entertainment spending and adult participation in activities. B*K also uses information
produced by the National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA) to overlay onto the
demographic profile to determine potential participation in various activities.
Service Areas: The information provided includes basic demographic data for the Primary
and Secondary Service Areas with comparison data for the State of Washington and the
United States.
Primary Service Areas are defined as the distance people will travel on a regular basis (a
minimum of once a week) to utilize recreation programs and facilities. Use by individuals
outside of this area will be more limited and will focus more on special activities or events.
Service areas can flex or contract based upon a facility’s proximity to major thoroughfares.
Other factors impacting the use as it relates to driving distance are the presence of alternative
service providers in the service area. Alternative service providers can influence participation,
membership, daily admissions and the associated penetration rates for programs and
services.
Service areas can vary in size with the types of components in the facility.

Age and Income: The median age and household income levels are compared with the
national number as both of these factors are primary determiners of participation in recreation
activities. The lower the median age, the higher the participation rates are for most activities.
The level of participation also increases as the median income level goes up.

Chart A – Median Age:
The median age in the Primary and Secondary Service Areas is much higher than the State
of Washington and the National number (+ over 15 years). A lower median age typically points
to the presence of families with children. A higher median age often reflects an older
community with a high number of retirees.

While there is no perfect indicator of use of a recreation facility, the percentage of households
with more than $50,000 median income is a key indicator. Therefore, those numbers are
significant and balanced with the overall cost of living.

Household Budget Expenditures: In addition to taking a look at Median Age and Median
Income, it is important to examine Household Budget Expenditures. In particular, reviewing
housing information, shelter, utilities, fuel and public services along with entertainment &
recreation can provide a snapshot into the cost of living and spending patterns in the services
areas. The table below looks at that information and compares the service areas.

Chart D – Household Budget Expenditures Spending Potential Index:
The correlation between the median household income and household budget expenditures
is important. The percentage of household income in the primary service area represents a
10% decrease from the national level. Additionally, the household budget expenditures are
1-4% below the national level.
The total number of housing units in the Primary Service Area is 11,605 and 88.0% are
occupied, or 10,207 housing units. The total vacancy rate for the service area is 13%. As a
comparison, the vacancy rate nationally is 11.6%. Of the available units:
· For Rent 0.6%
· Rented, not Occupied 0.0%
· For Sale 0.1%
· Sold, not Occupied 0.8%
· For Seasonal Use 6.1%
· Other Vacant 5.2%
The total number of housing units in the Secondary Service Area is 17,200 and 85.3% are
occupied, or 14,669 housing units. The total vacancy rate for the service area is 16%. As a
comparison, the vacancy rate nationally was 11.6%. Of the available units:
· For Rent 0.4%

Tapestry Segmentation
Tapestry segmentation represents the 4th generation of market segmentation systems that
began 30 years ago. The 65-segment Tapestry Segmentation system classifies U.S.
neighborhoods based on their socioeconomic and demographic compositions. While the
demographic landscape of the U.S. has changed significantly since the 2000 Census, the
tapestry segmentation has remained stable as neighborhoods have evolved.
The following tables outline the top 5 tapestry segments in each of the service areas and
provide a brief description of each. This information combined with the key indicators and
demographic analysis of each service area help further describe the markets that the Primary
and Secondary Service Area looks to serve with programs and services.
For comparison purposes the following are the top 10 Tapestry segments, along with
percentage in the United States:
1. Green Acres (6A) 3.2%
2. Southern Satellites (10A) 3.1%

yourself oriented and cost conscious. Enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and hunting.
Silver & Gold (9A) – The second oldest Tapestry segment although over half are still earning
wages or salaries. Have free time and resources to pursue their interests, which are home
remodeling, participating in clubs and playing golf. They enjoy classical music performances
and are avid readers.
Rural Resort Dwellers (6E) – This group is centered around resort areas. Retirement is near
but many postpone to maintain their lifestyle. Passionate about their hobbies, hunting, and
fishing.
Golden Years (9B) – Independent and active seniors. Some still working to allow them to
pursue leisure interests such as travel, sports, dining out, museums and concerts. Involved
and physically fit.
Midlife Constants (5E) – Seniors at or approaching retirement. Although they are generous,
they are attentive to price. Prefer outdoor activities and contributing to the arts/service
organizations.

Demographic Summary
The following summarizes the demographic characteristics of the service areas.
· The population level of 21,551 people within the Primary Service Area is only adequate
to support an indoor aquatic/recreation facility. However, adding another 9,000 plus
people in the Secondary Service Area will help.
· The population in the primary service area is projected to be relatively stable over the
next five years, with a 3% increase in the population level to 22,200 in 2027. The
Secondary Service Area will also see an increase of 3% in the population level to
31,784 in 2027.
· The median age in the Primary and Secondary Service Areas is much higher than the
State of Washington and the National number (+ over 15 years). A lower median age
typically points to the presence of families with children. A higher median age typically
reflects a community with a large number of retirees.
· The demographic makeup of the Primary Service Area, when compared to the
characteristics of the national population, indicates that there are some differences with
a larger population in the 55-64, 65-74 and 75+ age groups and a smaller population
in the 0-5, 6-17, 18-24, 25-44, and 45-54 age groups. The Secondary Service Area is
similar.
· The under 5 through 25-44 age groups are projected to decline in both the Primary and
Secondary Service areas by 3%-10% in 2027. This is of note as it may reflect a
reduction in youth to participate in recreation options in coming years. Conversely the
65-75+ age groups are expected to increase in both the primary and secondary service
areas from 58%-75% by 2027. This growth may represent opportunities or need for
increased senior programming.
· Household income in the Primary Service Area is significantly lower than the state level
(by more than $20,000) and the national level (about -10%). In the Primary and
Secondary Service Areas, the percentage of households with median income over
$50,000 per year is similar to the national level (61.6%), with 62.1% and 62.6%
respectively. Furthermore, the percentage of households in the primary and secondary
service areas with median income less than $25,000 per year is 17.3%-17.7%
compared to a level of 18% nationally. This indicates a local population that should
have the ability to utilize discretionary income for recreation activities. Household
income is another one of the primary determining factors that drives participation in
recreation and sports.
· There is very little cultural diversity in the Primary or Secondary Service Area.
· The tapestry segments indicate an older, but active population.

Recreation Participation, Trends & Providers
In addition to analyzing the demographic realities of the service areas, it is possible to project
possible participation in recreation and sport activities.
Participation Numbers: On an annual basis, the National Sporting Goods Association
(NSGA) conducts an in-depth study and survey of how Americans spend their leisure time.
The data is collected in one year and the report is issued in June of the following year. This
information provides the data necessary to overlay rate of participation onto the Immediate,
Primary and Secondary Area to determine market potential.
The information contained in this section of the report, utilizes the NSGA’s 2019 & 2021 data.
The COVID-19 Pandemic had a significant impact on participation on sports and activities.
Many indoor facilities were closed for a substantial part of the year, team sports and leagues
did not operate and individuals sought different ways to fill their time. As a result, participation
from 2020 to 2021 varied widely in nearly all activities tracked. Many of the activities bounced
back from the 2020 participation, however not all have. Some of this may be a trend while
some of it is still a reflection on reduced offerings by departments.
B*K takes the national average and combines that with participation percentages of the
Immediate, Primary and Secondary Area based upon age distribution, median income, region
and National number. Those four percentages are then averaged together to create a unique
participation percentage for the service area. This participation percentage when applied to
the population of the Immediate, Primary and Secondary Service Area then provides an idea
of the market potential for outdoor recreation.

Market Review
In addition to the demographic characteristics and sports participation trends, one of the
greatest impacts on the market for a possible Healthier Together Center in Port Townsend is
the presence of other similar providers in the area.
Within the greater market area there are a number of indoor aquatic, recreation and fitness
facilities to serve the population base.

Public/Non-Profit Aquatic and Recreation Facilities
There are a number of indoor public/non-profit aquatic and recreation facilities in the area.
This includes full-service YMCA’s in Port Angeles, Sequim, and Silverdale (Hazelwood) and
the Mountain View Pool and Olympic Peninsula YMCA in Port Townsend. The William Shore
Memorial Pool in Port Angeles and the Bainbridge Island Aquatic Center are the public aquatic
centers. There are also two non-profit HOA facilities in the area as well. This is a significant
number of other similar facilities that are primarily located on the fringes of the market area.

facilities located in Port Townsend and Port Angeles. These include Fort Worden Conference
and Events Center and the Jefferson County Community Center/Senior Center that are both
located in Port Townsend but serve different needs than what is planned for the Healthier
Together Center. There is also a similar facility (Field Arts & Events Center) in Port Angeles
that will be opening soon.
In addition to these providers there are two other facilities in Port Townsend, the Jefferson
County Healthcare/Wellness Center and the Port Townsend High School weight room that
are open to the public and serve some of the fitness needs of the area.

Note: This is a representative listing of the indoor aquatic, fitness and recreation facilities in
the area and is not meant to be a total accounting of all facilities. There may be other providers
located within the service areas that have an impact on the market as well.
Other Indoor Recreation, Aquatics and Fitness Facility Providers Conclusion: In the
greater Port Townsend market area there are a number of aquatic, recreation and fitness
facilities in place.
The YMCA is a major provider of aquatic and recreation facilities in the area and there are
two major public indoor pools. There are also two non-profit HOA facilities in the market area.
There are several other public and non-profit facilities in the area, but these serve more
passive recreation needs, meetings, and other events.
While there are private clubs in the area that provide fitness and sports amenities, these
facilities serve very different market needs than a public center. As a result, their impact on
the market is much less. There is a strong trend nationally with the development of small
private boutique or specialty type fitness studios. These facilities have eroded some of the
market for the larger more comprehensive private fitness centers in many communities but
have had less impact on public centers. This is due to the differences in the market segments
that are served by these types of facilities.
After analyzing these other existing providers and considering the fact that one of the major
goals of the project is to replace the existing Mountain View Pool, there is a market for a new
indoor aquatic center and possibly other amenities such as fitness space and a gymnasium if
they appeal to an older demographic group and a larger market area.
Market Conclusion:
Below are listed some of the market opportunities and challenges that exist with the Healthier
Together Center project.
Opportunities:
· The Secondary Service Area, with a population of almost 31,000, is large enough to
support a comprehensive aquatic/recreation center. The ability to draw potential users
from the second home and tourist market area could add even more users.
· The project would replace the existing Mountain View pool which already has an
established market for aquatics.
· The demographic characteristics show a market area with an active population that is
willing to spend money on recreation activities and services.
Challenges:
Healthier Together Center Study
PORT TOWNSEND, WA *
Page 45
· The population of the Primary Service Area is relatively small at just over 21,500 and
the growth in population over the next 5 years is expected to be rather small.
· The demographic characteristics show a much older population with a lower median
household income level.
· There are a significant number of other indoor aquatic, recreation, and fitness providers
in the Secondary Service Area.
· Funding not only the development but the operation of a new center will have to be
clearly defined.

Operations Analysis
The following operations analysis has been developed for the proposed Healthier Together
Center.
Assumptions
These are the basic assumptions for the operations analysis.
· An operations budget has been completed for the following center options.
Base - This option includes a 6-lane lap pool, 3,000 SF leisure pool with lazy river, spa,
sauna and party room. There is also a hospital wellness room.
Approximate SF – 29,700
Full Build Out - This option has the same basic components as the Base Option but
adds weight/cardio space and a gymnasium. Approximate SF – 40,200
· The first year of operation will be 2026 or later but the figures represent the second full
year of operation which is more representative of the true costs and revenues.
· These operational budgets represent all expenses and revenues for the center and all
anticipated programs.
· The presence of other providers in the market will remain the same.
· The center will be managed by a public agency including the weight/cardio area.
· This operations plan is based on a program and basic concept plan for the facility.
· Part-time wage scales reflect an anticipated $18.00 minimum wage for the state of
Washington that could be in place by 2026. It also should be realized that the minimum
wage is likely to continue to increase yearly.
· A reasonably aggressive estimate of revenues generated from admission fees and
passes has been utilized for each of the options.
· There will be a high level of aquatic and other programming in the center. Most all
programs and services will be offered by center staff on an hourly or contract basis.
· No partnerships with other organizations has been shown in this operations plan other
than Jefferson Healthcare for the wellness space.
· The pools will be guarded at all times by facility lifeguards.

SUBJECT: Briefing Memo – Port Townsend Funding Pool Assessment
Overview
Community leaders in the city of Port Townsend are considering options for replacing the
community pool facility. The facility is reaching the end of its useful life. The city has a small
tax base making it difficult to dedicate funds or encumber taxpayers with the capital and
operational investments necessary to support the replacement. The state of Washington has made
available a range of special purpose districts to address the operation and funding of parks,
recreation, and community facilities.
This memorandum prepares a briefing documenting the funding assessment that the city’s
Steering Committee has engaged with during the planning process. The deliberations of the
Steering Committee revolved around the consideration of two potential funding and governance
mechanisms: 1) a Metropolitan Park District (MPD) and 2) a Public Facilities District (PFD).1
This memorandum contains the following elements:
· A brief description of MPDs and PFDs
· A summary of how an MPD or PFD in supporting the pool might be configured.
· A summary of the financial capital cost and operating needs of the pool options
· A comparison of revenue adequacy of a MPD or PFD model
1 The committee did consider three other initial options but were dismissed from more discussion. Both a Park and Recreation
Districts and Park and Recreation Service Areas were deemed a poor fit due to the need to ask voters to renew the levy every six
years. A city levy lid lift was deemed impractical given the size of the levy needed and competing needs within the city of for
funding.

Description of MPDs and PFDs
What are MPDs and PFDs?
Metropolitan Park District
MPDs are special districts that operate as municipal corporations “to provide for the
management, control, improvement, maintenance, and acquisition of parks, parkways,
boulevards, and recreational facilities (RCW 35.61.010).”2 Metropolitan Park Districts (MPDs)
have long been allowed under Chapter 98, Laws of 1907. The first was formed by Tacoma in
1907. Prior to 2002, cities with a population under 5,000 and counties could not create
metropolitan park districts. All cities and counties may form metropolitan park districts that
include portions of one or more cities or counties.
Public Facilities Districts
Public facilities districts (PFD) are municipal corporations with independent taxing authority to
perform specific statutory purposes. PFDs must be coextensive with the boundaries of the
jurisdictions that created them. PFDs can be established by cities or counties pursuant to state
law for the limited purpose of developing certain regional facilities, such as convention or
special events centers. Pools are eligible community recreational facilities under a PFD.
Public Facilities Districts are created under the statute to develop and operate regional centers,
and at the city, the level must cost at least $10 million, including debt service. At the county
level, they can develop and operate sports, convention, and entertainment centers that do not
meet the $10 million thresholds.34 They can contract with other public agencies such as cities,
counties, and other PFDs to develop such facilities.
How are MPDs and PFDs formed?
Each park district can be formed through different measures, such as voter petitions, resolutions,
and ordinances. This section identifies the steps necessary to form each park district type.
Metropolitan Park Districts
There are two ways that a Metropolitan Park District (MPD) can be formed:

Voter Petition. A petition of at least 15% of the area’s registered voters submitted to
each county auditor where the district is located. When filed with multiple auditors, they
issue joint certification.
Resolution. A resolution by each of the governing bodies that would be included in part
or all the districts. (RCW 35.61.020)
Once certified, what happens next depends on if Boundary Review Board approval is needed:
Boundary Review Board. Notice of the proposal shall be filed; A special election held
on the date specified, 60 or more days after approval by boundary review board; No
review required if the proposed district only includes one or more cities.
No Boundary Review Board. The proposition would appear at the next general election,
or at a special election date, 60 or more days after the last resolution proposing the
district is adopted, or the date the county auditor certifies the petition.
Following the petition or resolution, the question is put to voters, requiring a simple majority
(50% plus one of voters) to pass. The language to voters is fairly prescriptive and must include
the proposed boundary, name for the district, and composition of the Board of commissioners
(RCW 35.61.050, RCW 35.61.030.)5 The ballot proposition must also contain the words:
"For the formation of a metropolitan park district to be governed by [insert board
composition]." "Against the formation of a metropolitan park district."
The governing body can establish an MPD with a limited purpose and taxing power per SSB
5138 in 2017. This flexibility addresses that some MPDs are formed to acquire the funds
necessary to acquire, construct, renovate, expand, operate and/or maintain specific public parks
or facilities. The purpose of the MPD must be stated in the petition and on the ballot when voted
on and specifically identify those public parks or recreational facilities. It can set a limit to the
maximum levy rate at any rate that does not exceed the aggregate, but the ballot proposition must
still state the maximum regular levy rate.6
Metropolitan Park Districts for Pool Facilities
Out of 23 current Metropolitan Park Districts in the State of Washington, nine were formed for
the purpose of maintaining and operating pool facilities.

Formation is initiated by an ordinance or resolution at the city or county level, if involving
multiple jurisdictions, it may be formed by interlocal agreement.
What are the relevant funding and financing provisions of
MPDs and PFDs?
For every park district type, a city must establish a funding and financing mechanism that will
keep the park open and maintained. Different funding mechanisms include tax levies or general
obligation debts.
ECONorthwest 5
Metropolitan Park Districts
Financing of Metropolitan Park Districts is done through a tax levy. The levy is permanent, can
be increased, but is also subject to pro-rationing as a junior district under the $5.90 aggregate
limit for city/count/districts:
Tax Levy. Authority to levy property taxes at $.50 and $.25 per $1000. They are
considered as a single levy (up to $0.75) for the 1% annual levy limits. (Ch. 84.55 RCW)
Lid Lifts. Taxing districts <10,000 population may not increase the amount collected
from current assessed valuation by more than 1% annually. Taxing districts with a >
10,000 population may not increase the total levy amount collected from current
assessed valuation by more than 1% annually or the rate of inflation, whichever is
lower. A taxing jurisdiction may seek voter approval to increase more than 1%, up to
the statutory maximum rate, for a specified amount of time.7
Excess Levy. Any levy more than $0.75 per $1,000 AV would have to be voter-
approved by a 60% majority.
Proration factors. There is $5.90 aggregate limit on city, County and junior taxing
district levies, as a junior taxing district if the limit is reached, it is possible the levy
amount will be pro-rationed and lowered. When this limitation is exceeded, the rates
must be prorated or eliminated among the districts, according to a statutory
mechanism for reducing junior district rates. RCW 84.52.010 provides the proration
order to be followed. MPDs with a population of 150,000 or more may request voter
approval to protect up to $0.25 per thousand dollars of assessed value outside of the
$5.90 aggregate levy limitation.
General obligation debt. Can be issued in an amount equal to 2 ½ % of assessed
valuations. Of this, ¼ % may be non-voted debt. The source for repayment of non-voted
debt is the district general fund. For voted debt, debt service is paid from an excess
property tax levy and must be passed by a 60% vote. This debt must be used for capital
purposes and can be issued for 20 years maximum. (RCW 84.52.056, Constitution art. 7,
sec.2, RCW 35.61.100, RCW 35.61.110)

Public Facility Districts.
Financing is usually achieved through a variety of different voted and non-voted (if pre-2002
formation) taxing options.
· A 0.2% sales tax approved by a simple majority of voters,
· Admission taxes up to 5% and parking taxes up to 10%.
· Voter-approved lodging taxes, simple majority (County only)
· State sales tax credits (up 0.033% of the sales price; Regional Centers only)
· Voter-approved excess property tax levies (County PFDs only).
· They can also apply user charges and fees for facility use and accept gifts, grants, and
donations.
As well, the PFD can issue general obligation and revenue bonds. PFDs may only issue debt in
an amount equal to 0.5% of taxable property valuations.
How are MPDs and PFDs governed?
This section outlines the different types of governance structures that are permitted for each park
district and service area type.
Metropolitan Park Districts
Metropolitan Park Districts are municipal corporations governed by a board of commissioners.
The makeup of the Board must be determined and stated in the ballot measure when it is voted
on by the public. Board members can be voted on the same ballot or after formation.
Metropolitan Park Districts are governed by a board that may be composed of the following:
Five Elected-Commissioners. They can be elected at district creation; or
Ex-officio. If a district is located entirely within one city or unincorporated area of one
County, the legislative body of the city or County may act as metropolitan park board: or
Interlocal Agreement. For a district located in multiple cities or counties, each
legislative authority may appoint one or more members to serve as the Board.8
Additionally, non-elected citizens and other staff can have a role to play in advising or
governance:
Citizen Advisory Boards. Some metropolitan park districts have established additional
citizen advisory boards that meet regularly and provide input to their commissioners,
such as the Tukwila Pool Advisory Committee for the Tukwila Pool Metropolitan Park
District.9
Treasurer. Additionally, the county treasurer of the County within which all, or
majority, of the district lies is the ex officio treasurer. If the Board receives approval from

said county treasurer, another can be appointed treasurer of the district. (RCW
35.61.180); 10
Public Facility Districts.
Public Facility Districts operate as a municipal corporation with independent taxing authority
which operates with the same bounds as the jurisdictions that created the district. City, County
and multijurisdictional districts may have different governance structures. City PFDs can have 5-
7 board members selected by the city legislative body and can receive recommendations from
local organizations.
County PFDs can have 5-7 board members, depending on the ratio of the population of the
largest city in the County to the total county population. If a County PFD imposes a lodging tax,
then the Board must include a representative of the lodging industry. Other specified numbers of
the members can be appointed by the county legislative body or other entities such as the
governor and would be subject to confirmation by the county commission/council.

MPD and PFD Configuration Options
This section discusses potential configurations of an MPD and PFD to support the pool facility.
Boundary Options
MPD Boundaries
Two MPD boundaries were developed consistent with work supporting the market analysis and
pool programming.
· Option 1: A MPD boundary following contours of where users would most likely reside
(based on findings in the market analysis).
· Option 2: A slightly more expansive MPD boundary following Option 1 merged with the
school district boundary.
A summary of the assessed valuation (2022 certified values) is shown in the table below.

PFD Boundary Options
For this assessment, PFD boundaries coextensive with the city and county boundary limits are
used. Since PFDs must be coextensive with the boundaries of the jurisdictions that created them,
it is assumed either the city or county would have to take action to create the respective PFD.
ECONorthwest 11
Funding Options and Debt Limits
MPD Funding and Debt Limits
The MPD has a regular property tax levy available to fund its needs. At the full levy of $0.75
(using 2022 values), the levy would generate the following annual amounts:
· Option 1: $3,920,000
· Option 2: $4,010,000
MPDs is limited on the amount of debt it can issue. A MPD can issue general obligation debt.
There are limits both on the amount voted and non-voted (commonly referred to as
councilmanic). Overall, the limit is 2.5% of the assessed value in the district. The follow debt
limits would apply using 2022 assessed values.
· Option 1:
o Total Debt Limit: $130,559,252
o Total Non-Voted Limit: $326,398
· Option 2:
o Total Debt Limit: $133,559,492
o Total Non-Voted Limit: $333,898
PFD Funding and Debt Limits
City Created PFD
A city created PFD has two relevant funding sources for the pool. It can levy up to a 0.2% sales
tax that must be a voter-approved (simple majority) and it can levy up to a 5% admission tax
(applies to ticket sales/passes as well has administered programs, goods, and services).
· Sales taxes: Based on 2021 taxable retail sales for the city, a 0.2% sales tax would yield
$620,000 annually.
· Admission Taxes: Based on operating revenues subject to the admission tax, a facility
could generate between $42,000 - $87,000 depending on the scale of the facility,
respectively Base Option and Build Out Option.
County Created PFD
A county created PFD has two relevant funding sources for the pool. It can levy up to a 0.2%
sales tax that must be a voter-approved (simple majority), a voter approved lodging tax up to 2%
for lodging over 40 units, and it can levy up to a 5% admission tax (applies to ticket sales/passes
as well has administered programs, goods, and services).
· Sales taxes: Based on 2021 taxable retail sales for the city, a 0.2% sales tax would yield
$620,000 annually.
· Admission Taxes: Based on operating revenues subject to the admission tax, a facility
could generate between $42,000 - $87,000 depending on the scale of the facility,
respectively Base Option and Build Out Option.
· Lodging Taxes: In 2021, the county collected $780,000 on its 2% lodging tax. A PFD tax
levied under its limitations might collect less pending the makeup of lodging units in the
county.
ECONorthwest 12
Both a city and county PFD would have typically had limits on the amount of debt issued for a
PFD limited to 0.5% of the taxable value in the district (using 2022 assessed values).
· City PFD: $13,282,128
· County PFD: $43,057,000
Other Funding Sources
Continued City Support
The city supports the current pool facility with funds from its general fund net of over revenues
generated at the pool. In 2022, the amount of this general fund support totaled approximately
$400,000.
Grants, Earmarks, and Donations
Pool facility construction (and sometimes operations) is also supported by grants (primarily
through the state Recreation and Conservation Office), state and federal appropriations through
spending bills, and specific philanthropic fundraising. It is expected that pool facility would
leverage all these resources.

Port Townsend Pool Funding Needs
Pool Options
The pool planning process has articulated two options: a Base Option and Full Build Option. The
capital construction cost as well as stabilized operating characteristics are shown in the table
below. The construction costs range from $37 to $47 million. The Base Option would have
annual expenses of $1.3 million and revenues of $830,000 requiring an operating subsidy of
$434,000. The Full Build Option would have annual expenses of $2.0 million and revenues of
$1.7 million requiring an operating subsidy of $353,000.
Exhibit 5: Summary of Pool Construction Cost and Operating Characteristics
Source: Opsis Architecture and Ballard King, 2023
These financial parameters can be converted into a preliminary cashflow projection to illustrate
how inflation and debt (used to finance the construction of the pool facility) may impact future
conditions. All future expenditures are grown at 3%. Debt is modeled a true cost of debt of 4.5%
with level payments for 20 years as an illustrative example of how the project will be financed
(this example assumes the full capital cost is financed). It is assumed the facility starts
construction in 2025 and opens in 2027. These are shown below for both the Base and Full Build
Options.
In the first year of operations, the expenditure total for the Base option is $3.6 million $5.1
million for the Full Build Option.

MPD and PFD Funding Assessment
The operating expenditures summarized above can be supported through the following funding
sources:
· Grants, earmarks and donations meant to lower the financeable cost of construction. In
the comparisons that follow, it is assumed that grants, earmarks, and donations will cover
15% of the capital costs thereby reducing the financeable amount. The 15% assumption is
used as best estimate of what local efforts may be able to support.
· Continuation of the city’s general fund support of $400,000 a year in operating funds.
· Use of either and MPD of PFD and their respective taxes to support the remainder of the
funding needed. These scenarios are summarized below.

The revenue summary is shown in the Base Option in the chart below. A county PFD might
support the Full Build Option and would require revenues from a productive lodging tax
(assumed to be $500,000 in 2023 – this assumption remains speculative at this time since it’s not
clear how much revenue would come from accommodations with over 40 units).
Exhibit 14: Full Build Option Revenue Operating Profile

Debt Limit Issues
All the capital costs estimates would test some limit of the MPD or PFD debt limit. For an MPD
the overall debt limit should not be an issue, but the non-voted portion will likely require an
additional vote for an excess levy to support the construction of the facility. A county PFD
should have enough debt capacity to finance the facility.

PROJECT GOAL STATEMENTS
1. Sustainability is at the heart of the Healthier Together Aquatics Center with a focus on community health and wellness,creating a facility that is financially sustainable, and designing a building in harmony with the surrounding eco-system.
2. As a Community Center the project is focused on being accessible to all by looking at multi-modal access to the center,incorporating family and universal changing rooms and restrooms, and creating a lobby space that supports communitygathering.
3. The design will be grounded in the specific geography and ecology of East Jefferson County through views creating avisual connection to the Olympic Mountains and landscape design focused on native species.
4. Water conservation and stormwater management will be key design criteria for the development of the project toaddress this limited resource within the region.
5. The design of the project will focus on selection of local materials and supporting local economies as much as possible.
6. The design began with a building massing and site orientation to minimize energy demand through passive strategiesas well as early analysis of daylighting for the sunshade design and rooftop solar potential.
7. As a Health and Wellness Center, the team will prioritize material selections that create a healthy indoor environment.
8. The project team will utilize the Zero Guide to inform material selections and have an added focus during theeco-charrette to reduce the project's carbon footprint.
9. As a community center, the facility is a natural fit as a community resiliency center. The design team will explore thepotential to incorporate or design for future incorporation of resiliency measures such as batteries.
10. As a resource for the entire community, the project has a great opportunity to provide education around sustainable
design to a broad spectrum of community members. The design team will incorporate opportunities to engage thecommunity in the sustainable design features incorporated into the project.

I couldn’t select “None” in any of the above options. As a community we can’t
afford this facility. Cost data was not presented. This feels like a sales job
instead of a neutral exploratory process. Even the name of the project is a
sales job. The City should not be in the position of trying to sell something
especially since it will eventually be on a ballot.

What’s going to happen to the spaces that we already have? A lot of these
activities (except swimming) already occur in the PT Community Center and
other gyms? Why is the City in cahoots with the Y (who decided they walk on
water when they can’t even keep the existing gym at Mtn View clean)? Is the
City in competition with the County facilities and programs that we already
have? Is the City intent on putting private gyms out of business?

Indoor or covered walking track, lazy River. I think it’s really important to have
activities for youth:.climbing wall, play area, birthday party room, etc. We
need to support our young people and families and encourage diversity.
MVP has an existing vibrant social community atmosphere. We meet and
socialize while exercising, which shows the community aspect can be realized
without a fancy facility. We can go out for coffee or breakfast and support our
local businesses.
I think a salt water pool would be a real draw, especially for folks with sensitive
skin or allergies.

Growing up my family would have to go to Bainbridge island to go to an
aquatics center. We loved it, and it was worth it. To have something like that
would be AMAZING in port townsend and so believe it would draw younger
families to move here. They had a lazy river, and a water slide. ; )

I think the possibility of competing with our 2 local gyms will/could put them
out of business. A wellness center, if it is built, needs to avoid replicating the
activities our gyms provide. I can dream big, but won’t because where is this
money coming from? How is all of this going to be paid?

what we can afford we are a small community, filled with seniors on a fixed
income. But it would be nice to have an outdoor area for exercise in the
warmer months, park setting would be great with benches. And then later
enough room to expand to include other features.

I would like you to tear down the old pool and build it in the same spot since
there’s infrastructure already there. Yes, we all know it’s aging and a swimming
pool has been turned down three times that I can remember and the Port was
one of them that offer free property to build it, and it was denied.

A pool that’s big enough to always be available to lap swim, not on a schedule,
so those of us that work have an opportunity to swim too. Maybe have a
secondary pool for classes, and a small splash pool separate for children.

Similar to the YMCA in Silverdale, have a family area indoors were little kids
can splash around. Add a lazy river, water slides, hot tub, and exercise
equipment just like the Silverdale facility. Rip out the old mountain view pool
and completely redo the parking and buildings.

I absolutely love the indoor walking track and kid zone (free childcare while
parents workout) at the Silverdale YMCA, and the setup of their pool in general
which allows for simultaneous intergenerational use (e.g. the pool is divided up
in such a way that water aerobics classes can happen at the same time as
children are playing in the pool without getting in each other's way) . I would
love to see a similar design in PT given our local demographics.

Dream Big: Fix the Roads!!!!!!
I can’t even take the survey since you are asking questions about things I may
not want without requiring an answer. Just goes to show, if local government
needs to do a survey that requires answers to all their questions and there are
no options for “None of the above” they are out of touch.
So, disregard any of my answers above and replace them with “None of the
above”.
We’ve been down this road so many times. If you want to build it cool, but
don’t make us property tax payers responsible for something we may never
use. Add to your survey: “Are you willing to ‘pay for use’ instead of tax payer
subsidized?” I suspect the answer is No. If Yes, great. Have a private entity
come in and make it happen. They would most likely conduct a “real feasibility
survey” and draw their own conclusions.
Roads, Water, Sewer, Public Safety seriously need to be your priority. Our
roads are so embarrassing.

I only checked one category each in item numbers 3 and 5 above, because the
survey wouldn't submit if I didn't - talk about no real choice - As is often the
case, there is no option for a dissenting opinion. As nice as an aquatic center
would be, including all the amenities noted above, none of it should be built if
either the citizens of Port Townsend or Jefferson County will be required to
pay one cent for it, now or ever. The taxpayers here already have a significant
financial burden, with more raises upcoming. When all our streets are paved,
our library, emergency medical services and mental health providers have
every dime they need, and we are out of debt, then we can consider totally
discretionary expenditures like a new aquatics center. Every project like this
adds to the cost of living here, the exact opposite of what we say we are trying
to accomplish. Over and over and over, those with wealth burden those
without by proposing "improvements" like this. Please, please stop.

just the swimming pool. Most other activities are already available all over
town. Creating an all in one with one big membership fee will take
membership fees away from local businesses who cannot compete with all the
amenities under this one roof. Also, a community shower room open for all
the public to come use for a very small fee (maybe even free with coin
operated water). A good many in our community would benefit greatly by
being able to get cleaned up - it's a starting point towards 'healthy'.

Outside of city limits. With the Hadlock sewer system coming, there is no
reason that it has to be built inside the county limits when it is going to take
years to build.
This is a misguided use of taxpayer monies—it sounds like the hospital is
wanting more space and marketing it as something that will help the
community.
This is not accessible to south county. What about surveying outside of city
limits?
No reason that the population doesn’t support this—the county is able to pull
strings when they want to.
Who puts a freaking kitchen in an Aquatic Center? Ridiculous.

Definitely make it saline instead of chlorine! And warm! Also a bunch of
individual family restroom/changing rooms with toilet/sink/shower/changing
tables. Overall, think something similar to Great Wolf Lodge, great for kids and
families but more community oriented like William Shore Aquatic Center in
Port Angeles. Something for everybody!

We should spend money on infrastructure that will pay for itself and generate
enough revenue to replace itself in the future. Is there the tax base in the city
to make this happen or is it going to come to taxing outside the city limits as
well. Saying "dream big" is just going to mean that everyone will be
disapointed whrn it turns out that its mediocre.

Wellness for all community members, a place for swim teams to train, warmer
pools for young children to learn to swim, and adults of all ages to get exercise.
This is my big dream. The exact location should not take away from other
wellness opportunities like golfing but rather expand wellness opportunities.
Choosing a location with more acreage or at Mountain view where future
expansion of even more wellness activities would be amazing, improvements
to current playground, adding a basketball court, and other ideas for physical
wellbeing- creating a large wellness recreation area would be dreamy. Golf
across the street with walking trails, all of this is dreamy.

Mt. View only place for pool. Traffic off Sims to hospital property difficult and
dangerous, why mess up the golf course when Mt. View is perfect plus all that
water running down a 20% slope into underground cement of pool, and Evans
Vista dreary place and so far from where pool is now is a east to get to place.

A place to water walk, either a "river" or a warm water pool that doesn't need
to be used for lap swimming. I don't need classes, just a place to spend an
hour walking in 3'- or 4'-deep warm water with my water dumbbells. At my
age and in my condition, this is the absolute best exercise I can get. Thanks!

Salt water pool, similar design as William Shore in PA- large, very warm kids
pool with lazy river and cyclone; activity pool, lap pool, hot tub, sauna.
Lap pool 50 yard length with regulation number of lanes is essential for
competitive swimming. It’s important for local kids to have this option.
An outdoor kids water park would be amazing!
More indoor facilities for working out- gyms with weights and machines,
rooms for yoga and Pilates classes, basketball and racketball courts, indoor
walking track.
Outdoor- pickle ball, basketball, tennis ball courts. An inclusive playground
structure.
I don’t care where it’s located. As long as it doesn’t jeopardize more housing.
Planners should decide the site, not the public.
This is my dream to have a state of the art recreational facility in PT. I would
also be very happy with just the pool. But you said to dream big. Our
community values health and fitness and this would be a huge resource
available for all ages and stages. Thanks for working on this project!!!

Good parking essential! Rentable massage rooms for certified massage
therapists to be able to “pop up” their services would be nice especially given
that we have a large massage school, and would cut down on overhead for the
city. Childcare and children’s wellness classes would be great too. Expanded
hours especially on weekdays. Tons of bike parking and public transit access.
Cooking demos and community/edible garden. MUST have competition sized
pool for school athletics and continue swim lessons for elementary students.
Community CPR and choking safety classes and infant/toddler swim safety
classes too, please.

PLEASE, build a community pool, just a pool.
PT does not need another gym or meeting room or community kitchen or
playground or yoga studio or ...
If you cannot find those things in PT, you are not looking hard enough.
Also, let Jefferson Healthcare build it's own therapy pools. As a rural health
institution, they have access to the needed funds.
Also, get at least one sign up in the City entrance. Just one word - POOL - plus
one left or right pointing arrow should be enough to alert visitors to the
existence of this community asset.

WATER VOLLEYBALL: We travel south for the winters and at our resort park
pools we play water volleyball 3 to 7 days a week, it is a great game that gives
us 2 hours of exercise and non stop laughter, would love to have this
incorporated into a recreational time at the pool, the pool needs to have a
large area that isn't deeper than 4 feet in the middle, it can be cordoned off so
others can still use the pool during play time. Standard water volleyball courts
have a similar measurement to the sand court. The court should measure 30 ft
x 60 ft and use a 24-foot net. This size can be adjusted down however. I believe
our pool south is about 40 x 20.

How do you intend to pay for this extravaganza? Our city bill is twice what it
was 10 years ago, property taxes increase apace.
I won't support an aquatic center that doesn't provide separate
changing/showering spaces for those who 'feel' like the opposite sex. Keep
biological males out of the females' locker room.

A separate Physical Therapy pool with certified instructor. This would include
bars at different heights and angles, swim in place technology for at least 2
people at a time, a shallow wedge walk-in, etc. Have both PT with instructor
and free time in this pool. Also have a lazy river and a great indoor play area
for children (see Lynnwood, WA pool) ages 0 - 12. This is why the golf course is
a better site.There is more area to do more things. It would also be possible to
have an outdoor water play area. As for the indoor pools, keep it bright, light
colors, and have available for public use swim boards, swim noodles, etc. Do
NOT have arm wing inflatables available. They are dangerous. If you could
have a swim slide tube for both adults and children, that would also be great!

It would be great if this facility was like the YMCA in silverdale. That is a
spectacular facility with people of all ages getting the most out of it. It's hard to
commute 45 minutes each way but we do it because that place offers a little of
everything and our local Mountain View pool is dirty and doesn't offer much.

A large hot tub that can accommodate at least 7 or 8 people at once is a must!
The water for the kids pool must be warmer than the current pool. Port

Since we are the oldest county in the state, we desperately need ways that the
elderly can stay healthy. Many people can’t afford $50-$70 per month at the
local gyms, and we certainly can’t!!! We’re on a limited SS budget, but still
deserve to have an affordable way to stay healthy. We need a lap pool, water
aerobics, weights for strength training, aerobic exercise. Yes!

Use the money for some other enterprise. This community cannot find
workers now to provide most services. Where does the Y think they are going
to find the workers? The Y is notorious for dreaming big and making promises
that create infrastructure--buildings, swimming pools and child care, etc and
then providing only minimal $$$ to pay the workers.

Certainly not at the golf course. Not all of the land that the golf course
encompasses is buildiable. You cant build where the pond is. You cant do it
where all the water lines are. If anything it should be centrally located like
mountaview. The pedestrian infrastucture needs to be really well thought out

Water slide! As a parent of a 7 year old, I want more water recreation, safety,
and educational opportunities. We have to drive to sequim right now to give
her lessons and water time. I also am a lap swimmer and would love a standard
length pool and think our youth swim teams would especially benefit. For my
elders in the community, I want them to have good physical therapy
opportunities as well. Thank you!

Build a functional pool like Port Angeles, Bainbridge, Sequim and Kitsap so we
can all stop driving to other communities. All of us young families are dying for
swimming lessons...and family friendly for all ages pool.
Don't move it! Would be a huge mistake.

An outdoor pool! Washington’s climate is warming (unfortunately) and it has
been a shock to realize there are no outdoor pools available for little kids. Also:
SWIM LESSONS. I have a 2yo and 4yo and have not yet been able to have
lessons for them due to lack of availability, which is frightening given that PT is
surrounded by bodies of water. A toddler/under-5 wading pool or swim area
(where they won’t be scared by bigger kids splashing) would also be
wonderful. A splash pad and an indoor play area in the pool, also amazing!
Please please please don’t neglect the needs of the families in this community,
even though many of us are busy with work and children’s bedtimes, and thus
unable to attend public meetings. We still need local community activities and
services for our children. (Plus, including children’s attractions in the new pool
would draw families from the surrounding peninsula and bring money to local
businesses and restaurants. Currently we know dozens of families who drive
Sequim or even Bainbridge for swimming lessons, summer pool days, etc— it’s
really sad not to be able to foster that sort of community in our own
hometown.) Thank you for taking the needs of children and families into
consideration!

plus the ability to have swim meets. It would also be great if there was a teen

increase from the current number of lanes, I think? In which case, great!)

I would love to see the facility serve the entire community children to seniors
as well as those in need of physical therapy. I would prefer it be where it is but
being close to the hospital to explanation the already over crowed physical
therapy.
Thinking if it was the golf course the Sky is Truely the Limit! The space to
expand and serve what I hope are youth and diversity of people across time. I
now drive to Port Angeles to swim so PLEASE NO CLORINE

I wish Port Townsend and Jefferson county have any thought to the
surrounding areas. It would be really nice to have an aquatic center in
Chimacum or hadlock. The schools could really use to have a pool in this area
for the young kids and adolescents. It seems like even though we pay taxes and
help this cause we get pretty much no consideration, there should be so sort of
option of other locations more in the middle of both towns to have the new
aquatic center. It only seems fair to put it in the middle since community tax
dollars are paying for it. Is there anywhere near the airport this could possibly
go?

An era for families to get together with their children, for birthday parties,
family reunions, family fun days. But also an area that the older generations
can enjoy for water aerobics, Port townsends economy & work force is going
to continue to dwindle if there is not something done about there being
absolutely nothing for families in this community. If you want to keep port
Townsend alive and thriving give families what they want and have been asking
for, for years.

I would absolutely LOVE indoor and outdoor water play areas for the kids. We
have one child at Blue Heron and another child at Salish Coast and need more
child-friendly activities for them in town. It would be amazing. There are so
many younger families moving to PT, and I think something like this would be a
huge benefit to the growing community of younger families. Swim classes,
however, are my number one priority. Our son is really into sailing and our
daughter wants to start learning (she is only 7), but they need to be very
confident in the water. It's unfortunate that swim lessons are no longer
offered at the YMCA because of all towns, this one should produce kids who
are very strong swimmers given our connections to the water.

Brian from north beach would love this to be considered…
Incorporating an engineered municipal natural swimming pool, as has been
done already in Europe Canada and here in the USA, would be an addition to
this project that would promote wellness , Education , Nature , aquatic
recreation , beauty and tourism … these pools offer chemical free swimming,
lower maintenance…

We need a pool. All the rest is crazy. The schools and community center have
gyms, classrooms and kitchens. We have private fitness gyms, yoga and dance
centers. Lots of places for community meetings - like the Fort Warden
community meetings we had on the pool. The new hospital should have its
own therapy facilities-not every wish needs to be included in a single building.
This whole process is crazy. And stop with the rush, and find out why we can't
move the recyclery, do some or all of this on fairground property, and if the
Evans Vista site is actually legally available. And you have the nerve to say
decisions haven't been made..... yet everything needs to be decided by July.

The pool is getting cooler again-yuck! I would like a moderately warm pool for
vigorous exercise classes. I can’t answer question #3 correctly, because that is
not an option. Temps suggested for lap swimming are too cold for us
(available in literature), but the photo for warmer temps is not of an exercise
class. I am not alone; our class has been 50+ members in our town with lots of
retired people. We need a facility for us!

A big fancy swim center is an awesome idea… but when it really comes down
to it the most basic needs are 25 yard lap lanes and a pool with lots of open
hours from early morning through early evening and consistently available
swim lessons for kids. Everything else is gravy on top.

I know this section is designed to elicit brainstorming but ⚠ : highly capable
pool management, living wage & affordable housing for lifeguards, and right
scale and complexity limit how “big you can dream.”
Consider that we’re still in an international lifeguard shortage, and that 2-3
guards are needed at all times to open.
The more complicated the pool facility, the more guards needed, every shift.
In January 2022, at 56, I became a part time lifeguard for the sole reason of
keeping the pool open. The starting pay was $15hr, and lead guards make $17.
Certification requires 60 hours of unpaid training and monthly in service on
weekends. Huge sacrifice.
13 months later I’m the longest running lifeguard. Why? You can make more
walking in off the street at McDonalds. Five of nine guards are retired or semi-
retired, own homes and have another income. ⚠ this is NOT a healthy socio-
economic model.
So as we dream big, also helicopter out to the “much big picture”: the
minimum legal requirement for an open pool is two lifeguards/shift. The more
water features you add, the more guards you need. Three guards = a
reasonable minimum for Mountain View pool, a very small & simple facility.
More guards are needed during lessons, water classes; instructors can’t serve
as lifeguards when teaching.
At Mountain View, we have slowwwwly rebuilt staff up to nine guards; it takes

I think there has been a lot of expansion I have seen in the are though my life
and I think as a kid I would have loved a more accessible place for kids to play
and just enjoy being a kid. I always hated being a child and if I wanted to go to
a pool we had to drive to Sequim. I also think though with any expansion there
has to also be the conversation of housing. I have lived my whole life in the
area and I love the community, but with rising prices and new people moving
in and jacking up the housing prices I am worried that I soon will be forced out
of the town I love and grew up in. I know this survey is about the pool, but if
you want to expand and to be inclusive to younger families than housing needs
to be a part of the conversation.

hear. Absolutely no choices given for none of the above or a write in. I’d like to
see you focus on water, sewer, public safety and roads. I want my tax money

A separate pool for warm (physical therapy type) rehab work and for shallow
water exercise/aerobics class, walking, stretching and balance. Deep water
pool for deep water exercise/aerobics class separate from divers and
splashers. Adequate lanes for slow and middle speed lap swimming without
crowding from competitive swimmers. Competitive swimmers need their own
separate pool (ideally olympic size). If not, then there need to be specific swim
club hours for the competitive swimmers so they have what they need and no
longer prevent others from using the lap lanes.
Designated instructors for swimming lessons and deep and shallow water
aerobics.
If there isn't such a thing as water yoga there needs to be!

equipment because the gyms we have, this is their source of income and we
should not be in competition with them. We need a pool!

If done correctly his is one of the most important community facilities that the
city could provide for PT!
It would be nice to have a pool that can be outdoor or semi-outdoor - either
with a removable roof or large sliding doors.
There are many examples of pools that function as community centers as well -
it seems like the plans are on this track already.

I’m actually want to dream realistic and have something happen. I have lived
here over 50 years and the community has talked about pool improvements
forever. Let’s do something we can afford, maintain and be excited about.
We have no problem dreaming big but then nothing happens. I hope is that
this isn’t another group with a lot of talk. If you are truly invested in this
community find a plan that actually will work!

It's important that the lap lanes be plentiful so there can often be designated
lanes for water aerobics, slow swimmers etc. Some of the suggestions seem to
indicate that non-pool exercise and wellness is being considered....it's
important to carefully review what is already available in the community and
include them in the planning. We want to be good neighbors, which includes
not putting anyone out of business. I checked things that are not readily
available, or not at all - like the outdoor water play area, and a kitchen for
healthy cooking lessons. I am interested in a location that will not require the
cutting down of trees for the building or for parking. Mt. View has the acreage
and this project would improve the site. A small note, if you dedicate a space
for birthday parties, PLEASE make it free. Kids see the parties and want that
too - but many young parents cannot afford such extras - and it is hurtful to
deny their kiddos. There are not enough places for family gatherings and
parties so it would be a nice addition in general, both inside and outside! (With
BBQs and tables etc..)

Please don't compete with existing businesses and infrastructure. That is:
don't compete with gyms, yoga teachers, physical therapists, existing meeting

Your map is incorrect.. Should be San Juan not Sheridan!
I didn't want to enter a site because ...
I think you should wait until Hadlock has it's sewer. Then do an MPD including
PT, Hadlock, KP, Cape George and maybe Chimacum. Site it in the county!
If this is for kids, they are in Hadlock/Chimacum.

A lot of other businesses provide classes for exercise/yoga/weight training. I
don't want to put them out of business. Nutrition/wellness classes can be
taught at the hospital. We have a recreation center Uptown that needs some
help. Put some money there. I had my son's birthday parties there. The
Sequim Aquatic Center was beautiful and went out of business for some
reason. Hate to see that happen here.
The city should fix the potholes. : )

Outside of city limits. The hospital not using it as extra space. There is no
reason you can’t put a little bit of money into Mountain View for physical
therapy use and then make a better plan to build the aquatic center in Port
Hadlock, once the sewer project gets going. Even without a large population of
support like the commissioners cited, grant a variance.
You could actually make something for the kids instead of trying to support the
65+ community. You could find better funding and take the hospital out of it so
it didn’t have to fit their agenda. You could be more equitable to your
community and not just keep supporting the rich city limit folks.

A Childrens pool like Sequim YMCA would be great. Also more lanes and longer
lanes for competitive lap swimmers. Keep the original pool for therapy, water
exercise and kids. Locker room swimsuit machines to vacuum out water like
Sequim YMCA. Parking is a huge issue...dog park, swimmers, pickle ball players,
food bank users all vie for a handful of parking spaces.

Indoor walking/running track - the Y in Silverdale has done this by having it
circle the perimeter of the building at an upper level so it doesn't appear to
have increased the footprint of the building. (But I suppose it does require a
building of x size to make the perimeter big enough for a track to make sense.)

This query is to be about an aquatics center. You have included eleven
activities that do not require an aquatic facility. Appears you are addressing the
interest in a multipurpose facility needing more space and costs. You might
want to address that in your next survey. Note that pools use for scuba and
kayak training often resulted in microbial contamination of water and closure
of pools because dive equipment and kayaks were brought to pools unclean.

A new aquatics center in Port townsend would be so great! Include it all! A
mix of adult and children’s activities would be great! I’m unsure as to the
location. I like the YMCA pool in Sequim , wa as a good example of a great
place to go. Saltwater pool would be nice, but I don’t know enough about the
ins and outs of it. I hope that this happens for the community.

I believe a good pool and wellness center would enhance this community- it is
a priceless asset. Our current pool- as everyone knows, is a disaster. I can’t
make myself to step foot in it. I love swimming! I rather swim in the sound-
yes, risking hypothermia is way better than what we have. As you all probably
know, I am not alone in this sentiment. I have friends who regularly travel to
Sequim/PA to go swimming/enjoy the classes. And they are in their 70s.. This
community would be so much healthier and happier! Please, with your
designs, keep in mind the teenagers- there are no healthy spots- except of the
wonderful outdoors... I’m sure to have a fun place to go healthily strut about
will be a great change from the thrill of stealing liquor from Safeway…

extra length and lanes. There's a great YWCA Swim Center in Sequim, we don't

Something based around a holistic approach to health and well-being in terms
of the entire picture of health including nutrition and exercise based around all
aspects of maintaining, improving, and healing for the aging community. This
would include teaching people how to avoid chemicals, processed foods, and
artificial ingredients in the foods we are consuming as well as how to look for
healthy and nutritious food options. This would also include teaching the
dangers of "consuming too much of a good thing" and how to watch for that.
(My father was one of the "blue" men in town because he drank too much
colloidal silver water, got in the sun, and turned blue.) That would also include
how and what kinds of foods may or may not be good to eat in concert with
certain medications or nutritional goals.

Why can’t you put some funding into existing the current pool, then build this
outside of city limits? This can be built in Port Hadlock to offer more equitable
access to south county. If that’s not possible, only port townsend should
residents should be paying for this and it should be a City of Port Townsend
project.

Activities for kids and teens. Hours beyond those that cater to the retirement
community; we can’t utilize the current pool because it’s only open during
school hours.
Why is there cooking facilities? Seems like a tax payer waste of money. The
hospital can build their own kitchen.
Why can survey takers ONLY choose these 4 locations? You ask for opinion but
don’t give an option to opt out of the location question so I am forced to have
to pick a location to answer the other questions.

I would love to see an aquatic center similar to what Bainbridge offers. I also
feel that the hours need to be adjusted to suit more of the general populations
available use.

All of the options given are really nice, but what can we afford and what can
we sustain? I feel that gym equipment is a NO as we have gyms that do this as
their source of income and we would be stepping on their toes. We are a small
community that needs to help each other, not take away other peoples
livelihood. Child care will be covered with the new Y care and learning center,
so there is NO need to add more. We need a pool and a facility that in the
future we could add on some of these other items.

Integration of themes around water's importance in the ecosystems, cultural
significance, and to life on the planet... to cultivate appreciation and need for
its conservation. I would like to see human created spaces such as this to still
remind us of our connection to - rather than separate ourselves completely
from - the living systems that we're a part of on this earth. Thanks for

one and exercise focused adult/teen activities in the other. This would give

Please consider the area near the DSHS offices - not sure if that is included in
Evans Vista. Please do not locate at the golf course - we need to retain that
beautiful open space.
I'd like to see an accessible water activity space for people with physical
limitations, nice roomy exercise spaces for classes that are appropriate for
each different type of activity, indoor and outdoor basketball/volleyball courts.
Full-service "gym"/workout setup. Viewing area so the competitive pool can be
used for PTHS meets.
Please consider multiple private dressing rooms, in addition to common locker
areas (perhaps several each for male/female gender), and large banks of
lockers that can have contents be secured. 24-hour 7-day a week access, on-
site security 24x7.
Preferential rates and access for "locals" (JeffCo residents, perhaps) and their
families. Perhaps consider anyone who lives in JeffCo (or greeter PT area) to
automatically be a "member"? Allow access by non-JeffCo residents ("guests")
at a higher day rate that helps to subsidize operations but only during limited
hours (local members should have access 24x7). Ample, really ample parking.
Jefferson Transit free bus lines from all parts of town (downtown, uptown,
each of the public and private schools, Hastings corridor, Castle Hill, Dundee
Hill and surrounds Morgan Hill, all public and/or section 8 housing areas.
My husband Peter has been recently using the YMCA in Charlottesville, Virginia
when he has been there supporting his parents. He says it is the best facility of
its kind he's ever seen and thinks it could be a good model for our community.
Feel free the contact me/him for more info. I'll encourage him to complete this

A rec center I belonged to in Colorado had an upper-level indoor walking oval
with 3 to 4 lanes I think. Walkers on one side, runners on the other, and it was
frequently used by both. Since you’ve made reference to things other than
aquatics, racquetball courts would be great. Affordable membership that
makes it accessible for low-income families. Well-linked to bike paths.

Children focused. There are not enough activities for families in this area. Build
a community that focuses on our future, not the retirees who will phase out
sooner than later. As a mother, it’s frustrating to have to go to other counties
for poolside fun for my kids (and swimming in 45 degree water year round isn’t
ideal).

I am on the autism spectrum and love to exercise and would love to use a
facility but I avoid most in town because they are too hard on me. The exercise
music is way too loud, the acoustics inside the buildings are distracting,
echoing, loud and painful. The lighting is harsh. Since you'd be designing a
building from the ground up, you could consider the acoustics. Most people
would actually enjoy and appreciate a sensorily gentle environment. Also,
please: not a lot of mirrors.
The whole place could have the feel more of, say, a lively yoga studio than a
concrete-walled rec room.
Also, kids are awesome. But, it's also nice to have adults only time in the pool.
I do the online exercise program called Couch to Fitness through the UK Parks
Department. I love the fact that the music is quiet, and the sets are simple.
I'd like an area for quiet strength exercise with weights that is friendly, open
and welcoming to everyone. And that teaches people how to weight train.
Also: creative, fun, welcoming dance classes, especially teaching modern,
urban dancing to all ages.
Ample covered parking for bicycles.

Repair or replace or decommission the existing pool. Otherwise this seems to
duplicate and compete with existing preferable private facilities like Rec
Center, Evergreen Fitness, PT Athletic Club, Anchor Gym, etc., etc. If there’s a
legitimate need to help lower income folks, issuing them discount vouchers to
existing facilities would be more cost effective. BTW this survey is flawed by
forcing answers instead of allowing “none of the above”.

All I desire is a decent locker room. I participated in water aerobics classes at
Mountain View Pool from 2017 until March 13, 2020. This was long before the
recent controversy. The women's locker room was never adequate. There was
never enough room for the number of people using it. That's one of the
reasons I haven't gone back. I would love to see a real locker room with
enough space for people to change clothes, take showers and use the toilet.
Plus professional instructors. Thanks for your efforts, and good luck!

Water-wise technologies that and proven and currently exist (or upcoming)
such as a grey-water filtration marsh, a water-cleansing system that uses
bioremediation and biofiltration, a park-like area that uses flow-forms and
landscape design to make the water-processes visible and refresh the aquifers.
There are many examples of successful park-like places that are integrated
with existing storm-water plans in urban and suburban areas.
Take serious consideration for the effects of climate change which require us
to be much more conservative with our water, this is an opportunity to
demonstrate cutting edge thinking and prepare for the future while benefitting
our community now.

The Y appears to be pushing for flash and a take over in our town. As more

to develop, surrounded by water and all. Ideally, there would be swim classes

Family bathrooms so parents can help young kids of opposite gender get ready
for swimming! Last visit I was told by staff my kids had to go into their own
gender bathroom. It took them FOREVER to get ready on their own and I was
left hovering outside the men's restroom wondering what was taking so long.

open for all to enjoy. I hope that it also encompasses future growth plans. Too
often plans are set for now and 5 years later the facility capacity is maxed out.
Plan for growth, as we as a community do not have the finances to build such
facilities every few years. Many cities and towns have wonderful facilities that
are multi-functional for all age groups. These are such a benefit for their
communities. It's about time we start to accomplish such a goal for now and
for our future.

track since we only have one at Blue Heron and that can’t be used during
school hours.
Anything and everything you can think of for teens!! They need something that
isn’t run down and everything broken (rec center). The skate park is known for
teen drug sales, we need somewhere where kids can go and be safe. Please
keep this thought in the forefront of your plans.
Putting the swim center at Evens Vista wont put more traffic onto our roads
which are getting increasingly packed, especially during summer. I think for this
reason alone makes for the best choice.

This is a scam for the mayor and city and big money work from home jerks that
moved here to rent Air Bnb’ s out and think our town needs to look a certain
way or want some more trails to walk on because they are scared of coyotes
and raccoons at the Fort. It’s a scam to take over the golf course get ahold
of the property, just like the great success with the Carmel house, low income
housing my ass! My friends meet here to play, my family and I have used the
golf course for our whole lives, there is no money for the aquatics center, why
not just put the money where it matters and fix it up, keep it going for our
community, not the people moving here trying to take our uniqueness away.
We already have a nice pool and I like outdoor activities with my family such as
golf at our sweet local golf course which is also home to list of our wildlife, this
is coming from someone who drives five to six hours every week in the
summer to go to an outdoor pool somewhere, so stop scamming and be
truthful, you can afford to maintain the golf course and the flow of people
moving here buying up houses in cash is pushing us locals in to horrible unsafe
living situations. At the very least leave us our golf course to pay in the day and
evenings at least and stop being such money grubbers that need everything so
uptight and controlled, just let the golfers stay and start programs there for
the kids like we used to have in high school, like golf for the students so they
can be competitive and have a chance to network on the corse as kids in other
towns have, it’s a great place to build community, and it’s one little thing we
have that teaches us how to live outside this sheltered world of PT. Golfers
really have an advantage in the corporate world, so let’s actually give our kids
and families and chance, if your going to build a new pool awesome, how
about where it already is…. That would be best. Put the money into the course,
or stop trying to trick everyone, and not letting people speak at meetings
shows you have underlying motives. Nothing here for kids! You took the roller
rink, bowling alley, even mini golf away, now the golf course too??? We have a

Open swim for everyone. All day on the weekends and after school hours
during the school year. Scheduled classes can operate during school hours.
During summer break open swim all hours of operation. An ADA Accessible
child friendly indoor/outdoor pool and splash park complete with water slides,
dry sauna, whirlpool/hot tub, small 2-3 lane lap pool, weight lifting/aerobic
exercise along with health and wellness/ healthy eating classes would draw in a
wider audience of people and selling a AFFORDABLE gym membership possibly
with a 24/hr access fob/key card to the amenities would assist in increasing the
project’s revenue. Plus having a 24/hr fitness center would bring plenty of jobs
to the table as well. I know as a single mother being able to access these things
24/hr a day would greatly benefit my health and increase my faith in this
community. As for hours of operation 8am -9pm for public open swim/gym
and general members is reasonable. 9pm - 8am for members who purchase
the 24/hr memberships would be able to access the center. A fully staffed
facilities department for maintaining the facilities would prevent the need to
close down the entire facility for cleaning. With working parents our schedules
are very busy and limited for things like this which everyone in the community
will benefit greatly, but it shouldn’t be inaccessible for those of us who work
10+ hr days irregardless of the shift we’re working. The working class shouldn’t
be left out of being able to access this new facility just because of the hours we
work. If you’re going to do it, do it in a way that will benefit our entire
community young, old, and handicapped and do it right the first time around.

Do not take away one physical and mental health activity for another. Think
long term of everyone's health and choice of physical activity/sport. Do not
build upon the golf course when there are clearly other properties to
build/extend upon.

Small, big, however it can get funded and built. A warm place to swim, play,
soak in a hot tub and exercise and be with friends in the cold wet months is
soooooo important for our mental health! Our kids need it, our elders need it,
we all need it! Thank you so much!!!

In the community, we need more activities for kids, more childcare for kids,
and if we could have something where childcare is offered while the parents
workout, that would be absolutely amazing! Indoor birthday celebrations for
kids are very limited too. Twisters, or the community center (which is gross!) is
really all the options.

connection. Cold water and sauna circuit, wave pool, disco/late night youth
swim activity. Cafe poolside with snacks and wine and beer. Installed pack and

family changing rooms, diaper changing pads and stations not in bathrooms.
Swim suit dryer. Baby pool, .07 meters with built in baby slides. Huge slide and
rope swings. These are all details from Dutch public pools where I grew up.
Lots of swim lessons and additional pools and rooms for them.

Having it accessible to the rest of the county is a huge priority for me,
especially if this is to be a city and county project. Putting it in the middle of

A real rock climbing area. An indoor, quality climbing area with multiple walls
and diverse, challenging features (e.g. top rope and a complex bouldering
area) would be great for younger and a wide range of age demographics. We
need more indoor things to do during wetter months for teens and young
adults. Please do not pursue one of those climbing walls that overhangs the
pool like port Angeles has or a tiny outdoor bouldering area. Those are a total
joke. Look to the silverdale YMCA or the bainbridge climbing gym for an
example. Please consider demographics beyond the retired. There are younger
people that want to live and thrive here too.

This community needs a climbing gym.
Multiple top rope walls, some auto belay, lead climbing. Some bouldering
would be easy to incorporate as well.
A tall wall for longer pitches makes a huge difference as well.
I’ve lived in Port Townsend most of my life, and intend to stay for decades to
come. As a younger member of the community, I’ve often found that I’ve
needed to go to the surrounding cities to find activities and affordable exercise
during inclement weather. Frequenting the climbing gym on Bainbridge Island,
I’ve seen people from as far away as Port Angeles travel there to climb. If we
had a climbing gym in Port Townsend, I’m sure we’d attract people from all
over the Olympic Peninsula, as well as Kitsap, and perhaps Whidbey Island. As
tourism continues to be a draw and a sustaining portion of our local economy,
providing something active for the younger folks, and the families with children
could help make Port Townsend a greater draw for the future.
As a born and raised Port Townsend local, who is now in the age bracket which
involves planning for my future and that of my potential children, I find myself
wondering what would make this a more desirable place to grow.
Remembering the joy I found in learning to climb in my early twenties, I wished
then, and continue to do so, that I’d had a venue to discover climbing as an
outlet and source of inspiration in my youth.
Please bring a climbing gym to this community.

While we have gaping potholes in our roads sufficient to break a front axel and
myriad liabilities that could bankrupt this city, why on earth are you even
thinking about this use of our monies? Graft and corruption is the only sense
I'm getting from this. It is reprehensible, and if you think that there aren't a
group of citizens that will file for public disclosure around all the decision
making and contracting for this ludicrous plan, think again. People barely
attend the present Y. This is something no one asked for, and your true
motives will come to light. It is inevitable. Stop while you're ahead and
abandon this stupendous overreach.

How come there's no option on this survey to say, "No new aquatic center"? I
really question the idea that this is supposedly a "public health" initiative (and I
am very frustrated that "public health" is the modern catch-all justification for
every new proposal to spend money that comes down the pike). According to
the Community Health Assessment (which has probably changed quite a bit
from 2019), housing and income security are indicated as THE most significant
health-related issues facing Jefferson County. I wonder what $50 million+ could
do on that front? Why do you think more people would use a new aquatic
center than use the preexisting one(s)? I would be interested to see why the
last three attempts to push a new aquatic center down this county's throat
failed. And if this proposal is really meant to serve Jefferson County as a whole,
why is there not one site outside of Port Townsend under consideration?
Given the rising cost of living across the board, I have no interest whatsoever in
footing the bill of increased taxes to pay for this luxury proposal, when there
are much needed gaps in basic living that are going unattended. Stop
contributing to inflation! Let's see a proposal on giving the old facility a
substantial upgrade. Dream big, indeed.

Some comments re choice options above... cooking classes? Nutrition classes?
Are we not talking about a pool here? Same for community meetings. Rather
than those dubious "uses" for a pool, why not include "lap swim". You'll likely
respond with lap swim fits into "competitive swimming". There are plenty of
people who lap swim sans the competition.
A wading pool for small children would be a specific design factor for the
complex that I would support. "Children's Waterplay" would fit into the
category of "Recreational Swimming".

I would love to see this get off the ground. We have needed a nice pool in this
town forever. Our current pool, is too small and way too cold! No one has a
good time. We need a big pool to accommodate kids and adults. A walk in area
for small kids, lazy river would be nice, kiddie area, hot tub area, laps for
adults, so they don't have to be on top of the kids. And please make it warm!
Splash area outside would be nice during the summer.

No 'Walmart' mentality. We have MANY small business for fitness, martial arts,
yoga, Pilates, and personal trainers. Existing facilities like the Rec Center and
Fort Warden can be used for Education and Food classes. Let's use what we
have and not spend massive tax dollars to make something 'New' that will also
become 'used' . Recycle, reuse and don't let municipality start competing with
private small businesses. A pool IS expensive, but that is what we don't have. If
it can NOT sustain itself, then maybe that is the reality this town needs to live
with.

I don’t think the city should compete with existing businesses like yoga,
meditation, weights, etc. Just give the community a large enough pool for the
many people that do lap swims and swim training. I am not opposed to other
people’s desires for a warm water pool or sauna. Keep it simple and focused
on THE POOL.

I dream of a net-zero (passive) center powered by 100% electric appliances
with solar panels, heat pumps etc. The building should use as little energy as
possible, maybe with a green / living roof, and be a model for sustainable
design that inspires the community. There should also be water bottle filling
stations (no plastic water bottles), hand dryers (rather than paper towels), and
maybe even a water reclamation system to use greywater to flush toilets. It is
obviously great to create a center that kids and families will enjoy, but we
would be doing the next generation a terrible disservice if we don't take this
opportunity to make it the most environmentally friendly building that is
possible. Thanks for the opportunity to provide feedback!

I am wondering where childcare will go when the current mountain view
commons is affected. It would be great to incorporate childcare space into this
new space. Also, it would really be best if this was a combo swim/fitness
center. You can do everything on one place and it then makes the aquatic side
if things more affordable as the gym membership helps pay for the entire
facility. Please give this community a large and we’ll appointed facility!

Dream Big... its only our taxes right!?! Its not like this is gonna cost so much
that residents in the county are also going to have to pay for it? Right? Spend
the money on roads, sidewalks and good bicycle infrastructure. Make the

drive too.

These are not dreams but comments.
This survey doesn't include some of the amenities available in the dot exercise
in Chimacum. In particular, I placed a dot on childcare, as I believe that will
help younger people make use of the center.
The activities I am most likely to take part in at the center are fitness classes for
older people and physical therapy. Prior to the pandemic, Jefferson
Healthcare offered a variety of fitness classes led by physical therapists; these
were suitable for "pre-hab" and rehab around the othropedic sugeries so many
of us older people need. I did myself a lot of good in 2019 taking advantage of
these classes. Then Covid put an end to them. These were given at a space
next to MailPlus at Castle Hill, which I understand is now being used for
storage.
Physical therapy sessions and fitness classes led by physical therapists would
be very valuable at the center. As I understood it at the Chimacum meeting,
Jefferson Healthcare's participation is more likely if several amenities are
bundled at the center: physical therapy, cardio room, excercise room. If it
takes all of those to get physical therapy at the center, I'm for it, though the
facility will have to be much larger and more expensive. If the JHC is not going
to be involved, I would prefer the smallest footprint necessary to provide the
warm and cool water pools--no extra amenities.
If JHC is not going to provide services and help fund the project, I would
strongly urge that the community aquatic center NOT duplicate services that
our local athletic clubs provide.

None of the Above;I can't afford any of them on a regular
basis. ;
No big dreams, I just see PT going deeply in debt for a new aquatic center
when the old one is closed much of the time. Not enough employees, regular
maintenance, etc. I also see a huge rate increase for use after how many
millions to build it?
What are you going to do with the old pool when this happens??????

professionals
People want aquatics. I do not agree with the opinion that a fitness center would be a
steppingstone. I think it would take away business from local privately owned
businesses that already exist and have been in the area for years. Is there any data to
support rather than personal opinion, that it would be a steppingstone to the other
facilities, like fitness centers and yoga, studios, and martial arts already available?

It’s very nice. It’s good to see the glare issues from low windows for the pool was
addressed. The more things added to the pool, will take additional guards and my
concern is they barely fill 2 guards now with reduced hours. In hope a new facility will
encourage others to be guards!

I prefer having total
local control. The Y has
a lot of rules and regs
that can override local
determinations.
I like the design concept - layout, flow, light management, solar energy options. I
hope a new home can be found for the Recyclery.
11 55-64 Chimacum No Aquatics; No
Aquatics only. We don’t need more fitness centers to drive away business from the
local ones that have been existing in this area for years. This seems like a very
expensive project. Yes, as it was mentioned, it would just get more expensive, but just
like years ago, when this town spoke out and said:
Rite Aid, wrong Town…like we don’t need a super Walmart with a tire center and a
grocery store, we don’t need a super aquatics YMCA. Use existing buildings instead of
costing taxpayers even more.
12 65 and over Port Hadlock-Irondale Yes Aquatics + Group Fitness/Cardio & Strength;
Low pay scale from the
Y is making it hard to

13 45-54 Port Townsend Yes
Aquatics and physical therapy. I don’t think people who use
the gym are the same people who use weights. Maybe, but
not always. I think those are different groups. The point here
is: PT needs a pool. And activities associated with pools. Like
aqua fitness etc.; Yes
There is so much potential. I’m thinking of the connection with sea voyaging and
indigeneity. And Kai tai—right there! And a water feature that connects the inside to
the outside…. And invites people into the space. Maybe connects to the golf course
renovations as well. I’m slightly worried that there will be too much glare fir
swimmers with all the windows-but I love the windows, so hopefully an expert can
figure that out before you get grumpy swimmers avoiding certain hours for laps.

I think it looks pretty cool. I think that there should be a whirlpool/hot tub that is not
18 and over. I like the windows. From the lap zone you can see outside because the
windows are there. It would be very cool if there was a water slide from either inside
to outside or outside to inside.

Would be happy with less “pretty” exterior design in favor of a few more kid-focused
amenities like a lazy river and slide. Love the space to gather in the lobby and the
potential for an outside amphitheater type courtyard! Please don’t forget to replace
the playground also! (Maybe partner with a known entity like JUMP to do some side
fundraising specifically for a small ADA universal playground? Town needs one!!)

I would really love for an expansion of the proposed pool. I, of course, do not want to
risk the project totally getting scuttled by going bigger but this is our only chance to
dream big and see if it works. Having a more expanded pool isn’t even up for
discussion and I am finding that disappointing. I have decided to go to vacation places
before partially because the location had an awesome pool. It would be a draw to our
area and a draw to families considering moving to town. As well as an awesome
amenity for those here already! We need to have continued draws for our families!
Please reconsider adding:
-lazy River w/whirlpool
-hot tub
-deep end for diving board, etc
-water slide
-hot tub
Also, please have plans to replace the old playground if you take that out- either with
a splash pad or a new playground.
Also, consider who will be running it during the build phase. If it’s the Y, please
consider a space that would work for licensed aftercare for school aged kids. They are
being housed in a building that is going to be torn down. As a working parent, having
aftercare childcare is absolutely essential and none of the new childcare projects are
for our children 5 and over for aftercare.
37 65 and over Port Hadlock-Irondale Yes No
I would like the whole deal at this site IF the equipment rooms would be for the
hospital only. If they move all their therapy to this facility, it should be theirs to use
and not for the general public. JHC would be using the equipment all day long so
there wouldn’t be a lot of “public” time for equipment use. If it was kept for therapy
use only, we would not be taking business away from the local gyms.
38 35-44 Port Townsend Yes
Aquatics + Group Fitness/Cardio & Strength + Physical
Therapy + Gym;
Maybe, but the current
Y operations leave a lot
to be desired
It’s still lacking a lot of basic children focused features that are typically found at other
aquatic facilities. This town really needs some features geared towards older kids like
a water slide, climbing wall (see Port Angeles pool), lazy river, rope swing. Perhaps an
indoor screen for movie night (Bainbridge does this).
39 35-44 Port Townsend Yes Aquatics; Yes
Thank you for incorporating child/family elements into the design. I very strongly
support having the Y continue to manage aquatics to let City staff focus on other
things.

I support Aquatics if Jefferson Healthcare is not involved and
doesn't offfer physical therapy; I support Aquatics through
Physical Therapy if Jefferson Healthcare is involved. Last
night, another attendee and I split our votes, as each of us
would have like to give half a dot to those two options. I am
not convinced that we need a gym.; Yes
I would prefer a smaller footprint if Jefferson Healthcare is not involved (see my
answer to the first question). I heard comments last night that additional amenities
are important to at least some people with children. I have my doubts about how
many people will be able and willing to pay fees to support those amenities.
It looks like the architect has done a thoughtful job on this first sketch.

The building is beautiful, nice work. I understand the desire for a gym, but I feel the
pool should be the priority since there will only be one pool, and gyms exist at other
venues like the schools & community center. If the footprint of the pool can expand,
more amenities around aquatics would be great - other pools are including lazy rivers,
whirlpools, climbing/jumping structures, slides, etc - have all of those been ruled out?
A spa (hot tub) and sauna are a must. I don't see them on the plans, but I am going to
assume those are included here in the basic design. I see a big, flat roof. Would it be
too much of a stretch to include a green roof with a space to sit & have a healthy
snack up there? Having the building LEED certified would tie into this idea that
Healthier Together can include community agreements for a healthy planet and wise
use of space, like a demonstration garden on the rooftop that feeds into the
neighboring food bank...
43 45-54 Port Townsend Yes Additional kids activities, slides, jungle gym; Either way
We would love to see additional facilities for young children, for example slides and a
lazy river. Also an indoor playground or jungle gym would be great for the kids as an
alternative to playgrounds on rainy days.

I like the lighting in the natatorium. The building seems so out of character for our
town - so modern and sprawling. I'd prefer the smallest footprint possible. I like
keeping the ReCyclery there on the corner - I like it's humble funkfactor look. I'd
rather not have this facility up front and center in my face from all angles. I'd rather
the hospital stays out of it with therapy room/state of the art fitness
equipment/teaching kitchen for his cook and sound barriers required. Sounded like
Mr. Glen wasn't willing to contribute to the capital $$ anyways - other than a limited
time lease. The commercial kitchen just seems overkill. We don't need that at all.
We have 7 gyms altogether already in our small town - including the one here you
want to tear down. I'm not convinced we need another. Calm down about pickleball
courts. We have two near the courthouse (our beloved tennis court converted) that
already sits mostly unused all day long throughout the week (I've been working right
there and couldn't help but notice that!)

Currently the YMCA is managing the pool and in all the years I've done water aerobics,
they have done the best job. The staff is wonderful and the place is always clean and

I think that if the Y wants to manage this, they need to build it. But I also think we

The designs look great but they seem to be missing permanent kids features- slides,
splash pad, outdoor playground for kids- requested by the community. Many young
families make a weekly trip to Port Angeles, Poulsbo or Bambridge for these features.
We would get a family Y membership if these things were available (we haven’t to
date because the pool is too cold and deep for the kids).
72 35-44 Port Townsend Yes

Make sure the aquatic center is kid friendly. Lazy river and whirlpool. Have a top-

73 35-44 Port Townsend Yes
Aquatics + Group Fitness/Cardio & Strength + Physical
Therapy + Gym; Yes
Please design for the future. More aquatic features are an absolute priority- hot tub,
deep end for diving board, lazy river, splash pad. Cost recovery reasons, the larger
complex makes sense (gym offsetting cost of pool, hospital and PT clients subsidizing
through PT etc). The only indoor basketball court in town is at the school which is
limited for use and has no grandstand. A rock climbing wall as part of the gym would
add to the multi-use nature

There are already gyms etc - both public and private - that are available for people to
use, why take business away from them. The County can offer subsidies to those who
cannot afford memberships so that they are available for all who want to use them, if
that is an issue. We need a bigger swimming pool for people who use that form of
exercise, and school activities, plus water fitness programs. No need to duplicate what
is already available, just improve on what we have by making our current pool longer
with more lanes. Thank you!

I keep hearing that the proposed design doesn’t incorporate many features for
youth/families. I have used Mt View pool since 1991 as a 3rd grader on swim team
and now as an adult with my children. Families regularly drive to Silverdale or PA to
use family friendly pool facilities, which is a shame. There are not a lot of options for
family activities in Port Townsend, especially in cold and wet winter months. Please
build a facility that is fun and inviting for families with kid features in the pool area as
well as a gym. These will be well used and loved by the community for years to
come!!!

Looks great. Go big! Local families in Port Townsend (including myself and my

I would hope there would be a warm water therapy pool and sauna- Warm water
pool is a great place for rehab, physical therapy, those with impaired mobility to be
able to move and stretch and stay warm. This would be a critical addition given the
age of our population-
89 65 and over Port Townsend No None of the Above;
1. Where is this 53 million coming from to build this facility? I'm assuming taxes will be
raised again to build this
2. Why is it that the city will construct this and not take care of other pressing issues
like our roads properly? Have you driven in town? Why can't you actually fix the roads
and resurface, instead of putting bandaids over large potholes every other year and
possibly widen the few roads they can?
4. Are you aware we have 2 fitness gyms in town already? Why not support the local
business community instead of spending more tax payer money?
90 65 and over Port Townsend No None of the Above; No
Why is it that Port Townsend can not even repair our roads and yet they want to raise
our taxes to build a center that a very small percentage of our community will use?
And then they will want men using the women's locker rooms and showers!
91 65 and over Port Townsend Yes
Aquatics + Group Fitness/Cardio & Strength + Physical
Therapy + Gym;
Not sure. Can the city
manage this facility, or
Jefferson County
manage it? Would it
generste more revenue
to pay for itself if the
city managed it?
I attended the meeting at Ft Worden last week. I like the design, and also appreciated
comments by citizens 1)about noise between lap and play pools, 2) about having the
facility provide some community services for homeless showers for those in need, and
3) the need to build a facility for the future. I support the full facility build out,
because it seems it will pay for itself better if more groups can utilize the space (such
as Jefferson Hospital, etc). I appreciate the effort that is being made to address and
contain costs, as well as serve a diverse community. I do not think a growing area
should skimp on these public facilities when the opportunity knocks. We are
desperate for better pool facilities, and if we build it too small, we will regret it down
the line. If folks are driving to Bainbridge, Sequim and Port Angeles to swim (as was
mentioned at the meeting), we should at least have a facility that brings them here.

The design concepts look beautiful. I would be curious to hear if there are plans for
child-friendly areas in the pool and plans for swimming lessons. Being parent to two
toddlers, and living on the peninsula, we would love to see more areas for safe play in
the water. Sequim has an amazing child-friendly pool area - we would love to see
splash zones and shallow play areas. The PT area would be especially helpful, with
access to aquatic strength training and exercise, given the demographics of PT and
JeffCo.

I think a new site void of all of the old infrastructure, plumbing issues should be
discussed to avoid the substantial cost of rehabbing the building for new uses. A new
build with both a playcare space (like the one in Silverdale, a climbing wall, racquetball
courts, swimming pool, and possibly a gym (I would like to know what the impact
would be on the locally owned gyms before supporting a larger gym).
Racquetball courts would be fantastic for young and old alike to manage pent up
energies particularly in the winter. Please attempt broader outreach to young families
in the community. Most are not hearing about the meetings until the last minute or
not at all.

This is a completely
irresponsible idea
given the volatility of
the current economic
climate and the cost in

tone deaf nature of
the "steering

failure to be fully

citizens - a citizen
approach to a design None of the Above; No
This building is a giant, sterile box which is neither well integrated with the unique
surroundings of P.T. and whose interior design spaces look like "everywhere USA", nor
appropriate for the community which is all of 33K in Jefferson county. Facilities of this
size are constructed for communities/populations over 100K and/or whose tax base
has an average income of six figures.
I am personally flabbergasted that the city has spent upwards of 100K in consultation
fees for a concept that is so out of step - and ugly.
*I found the Architect in particular to be un-charismatic, not well prepared for
presentation nor articulate in relating the design concept, as well as being practically
worthless when it came to answering pertinent, basic questions. FAIL - FAIL - FAIL

My feedback about this concept is concern about how valuable community resources
may be displaced and/or demolished in order to make room for something like this.
I was disturbed to learn that the Recyclery's space is being considered for parking
(glad that they have their own lease with the school district) they deserve their place.
Their mission based organization could be viewed as a partner in this project...how
about you look at including them so you can utilizie their expertise in how we get
more people biking to the pool...then we wouldn't have to worry about so much
parking availability! Are they being viewed as an obstacle or an asset?
I strongly believe that the current buildings should not be torn down once a "new
facility" is built. Are they perfect, no. Are they held together with duct tape and dried
gum, no. It was built as an emergency gathering facility...it was built to house our
community in a disaster...it is literally bomb proof. Honor those who came before us
and decided for our community how to utilize community resources...keep these
buildings intact and TRULY allow the community to decide how to use them. People
need a place to shower, people need a place to make a meal, people want a place to
play pickleball inside but people ALSO want to play basketball and volleyball and roller
skate and skate board and we deserve to have a place for EVERYONE!
I think the Y has been doing good for the space...its awesome that children are back in
the building and using it as it was intended (as a school). They have tried to offer
things the community wants...hence a gym underutilized because the pickleball
community has a hold on it. However, I've seen lots of cool uses there and there are
uses out there that people want and need and the space is there to be used! Give us a
chance to use it!
It is shameful for a community like ours to continue to pretend that we live in an

I like the use of natural light, but the design concept is lackluster. I think it should be a

NO Pool. A few people are pushing this idea, a luxury which
we cannot afford given more pressing needs like climate
change and basic infrastructure like our decrepid streets and
utilities.;
The YMCA wants to get
a pool for free and
make money from it.
Let them build their
own pool.
Don't build a pool, because we can't afford it. The city council is out of touch with the
average citizen. Quit listening to only the handful of people who would use this. The
city needs to look at its capital needs comprehensively so we can all see how there
isn't enough money to do the basics which have been neglected. Please do not let a
small but loud group skew the finite resources of the entire community
106 45-54 Port Townsend No Aquatics; No Too fancy make it more basic.
107 65 and over Port Townsend
If it gets built, then
yes. But I want to see
the whole plan before
I vote for it. It depends on who is paying and how much that it.;
That depends entirely
on the specifics of the
agreement.
These look as if they would be wonderful facilities, any of them. But we have
concerns. I hope that I can make them clear, and that if I do, someone is listening. It
has been our experience that discretionary infrastructure enhancements are driven
either by a corporation, hoping to externalize its costs onto the public (YMCA) or by a
relatively small group of citizens who are hoping to get everyone to help pay for
something that those few would use (which is how the pool is used now). What also
seems to happen is that the final costs of these projects and exactly who will pay
those costs, and how much each, is not available until after the projects are already
beyond stopping. The City has already agreed to pay tens of thousands of dollars for
consulting and the community has not even approved the project. This is how it goes,
one step at a time. Another concern I have is the misguided priorities this project
demonstrates. If we can borrow fifty million dollars, why are we not borrowing it to
start repaving our streets, which is certainly more important than a recreation center?
If we need a pool for physical therapy, we can use what we have or, at the very least,
come up with a plan for that which costs tens of millions less. And we already have
several excellent facilities in town for those who need non-water-based physical
therapy. We do not need a wellness center. People can go for a walk, work in
someone’s garden, ride a bicycle … and all the other things that humans have done to
stay fit and healthy for thousands of years. For every dollar that the cost of living gets
raised by these projects, it takes us a dollar further away from what we say is our
mission, which is to make Port Townsend affordable for young families and for those
who work here. A new, multi-million dollar wellness center will make that disparity
worse.

I don’t think this is something we need in Jefferson county. Please no more tax

Townsend can pull together $100,000 to pay for a silly feasibility study, why can’t they
pull some of their money together to fix the roads in Port Townsend. And we are
paying people that live in Oregon, not even in state, let alone within Jefferson county.
So much for keeping our money here.

Thank you for adding the lazy river feature and keeping the zero entry for the kids!!!! So
appreciate the committee’s responsiveness to the feedback at past meetings from young families.
We don’t want to keep driving out of county to find a fun, safe and interactive pool! The lazy river
alone will absolutely help increase revenue considerably and consistently from all the families with
kids who want to swim locally but have been driving to Silverdale and Port Angeles monthly and

There is no link to plans. This needs adequate shallow entry for swim learners to be able to
actually touch the ground. It needs a splash pad for outdoors and to make sure that the
playground is not removed to build the structure. Please add more kid friendly items like climbing
walls, wave pool, and huge slide (never seen a new pool without one). Also incorporate toddler
slides into shallow area. Independent baby wading/sitting area for water comfort and exposure.

Port Angeles Pool is a great example of what I'd love to see here in PT. It's not grandiose but has all
the necessary features for all ages. The Lazy River is a big draw for our kids and I know seniors like
it as well to walk against the flow for exercise. Having a gym would be nice but the pool is the main
thing this town needs. We need a place where the community can gather during the winter
months and where kids and adults can strengthen their swimming skills since we live in a maritime
environment. Other important features: sauna, hot tub. Having these features will ensure we go to
this pool and don't continue traveling to the better pools in PA, Silverdale, Bainbridge etc.
In my mind the current pool location would be a great spot to put this aquatic center.

Wow! Thank you for hearing community feedback and expanding the pool. This will be so
valuable to families who are already here and continuing to attract families to our area. While we
may have an old population and need to certainly accommodate their water aerobics needs, if we
don’t prioritize family needs we will have a harder time attracting people of employable age. I
would still love to see a playground and splash pad as part of the design. Any chance for an
inside/outside concept for the summer so that there could be giant doors that open and an
outside space accessible to relax in?
Also, I do want to reiterate that if the end result is very likely to be having the Y run it, make sure
there is space for them to maximize their services within this building. For example, they will have
an easier time attracting childcare workers if they can work across multiple departments such as
front desk duty when childcare isn’t taking place.
Also, what I said about my preference for funding is under-informed. I want to do whatever
ensures the success of this facility. 35-44 Port Townsend

Hard to compare to previous designs when it has been so long between and there isn't a refresh of

large room for wellness at the Castle Hill Mall, within walking distance of the hospital). ONLY a
bare bones project is needed for lessons and water aerobics. Most people live close enough that
they can shower at home. If a therapy pool is needed, it would be better built closer to the

scheduling by the pool not to interfere with the food bank on 2 days a week. If that's not enough
time for classes and aquatics, then schedule those later or earlier in the day than the food bank
hours. Need basic pool for swimming lessons, aquatics and laps. Basic locker room with no
showers. No added amenities such as meeting rooms, birthday rooms. No administrative offices in
the building, just an office overlooking the pool for lifeguards and their lockers. No added courts
or splash pads or playgrounds outside. Need less in maintenance costs, so less space to maintain.

How about a gathering place that has pool tables and other physical games (NO video games) that
teens, young adults and all might enjoy? There should be a live snack bar, I.e. not just vending
machines, and plenty of tables and seating for people to gather. The pictures show a lot of empty
space in the lobby; please don’t waste space. Put in lots of comfortable seating for people to
gather. Do not make the deep end of the pool only 7 feet. That is unsafe! Even if you post “No
Diving from Sides of Pool” signs, people will do it! It’s a liability. 9 - 12 feet is much safer. In
addition, consider having regulation diving boards at the deep end. If swim competitions are to be
held the diving area opens the facility up to many more competitors. It will be a big attraction to
our teen population. Weekly swim classes based out of our schools are a must! Absolutely all
people should learn to swim! We are surrounded by water. Learning to swim is as important and
as good for you as learning to walk. Your future lifeguards and instructors will be cultivated from
such classes. 65 and over Port Townsend

Pool should have ample depth for adult water aerobics exercise- up to 4.5 feet for taller adults. An
outdoor covered picnic pavilion would be nice. Lazy River is good for adults wanting to increase
strength by walking against the current. Go for the funding effort you feel has the best chance of

I applaud the committee for listening to our feedback at the open house a few months ago and
including a lazy river into both plans. Thank you. The building design appears to be simpler than
the last but I cannot recall the price tag of the previous design, therefore I don’t know if this

cheaper to build so more money can be used to install useful features, ex lazy river, slide, splash

I like the changes made in this round of designs as to how the facility will fit on the property. As a
deep water fitness person whose spouse swims laps at the same early morning time, I wonder
how our usage will work in the new facility without a diving well area. If 3 or 4 lanes are set aside
for laps, how much space is available for deep water exercise? Given this constraint, how much
would it add to the cost to make this an 8 lane pool?
Given all the E-bikes in town, a substantial covered area for bikes is important.
Thanks for listening!

town because they can no longer afford to live here. I have lived here over 40 years and the
change that is happening in our town is devastating.

I want to see the full build out, but am concerned that would not pass. However having a multi use
facility would encourage more use. For example, I swim but my husband does not. Having the full
buildout would allow both of us to get the exercise we need in one place and in one trip to town
from Marrowstone! I would fully and totally support either choice!!!! 55-64 Marrowstone

A public facility of this size and expense makes no sense for a community of our size. Only a couple

Needs to address Blaine Street in a positive way as the primary street frontage. Utilize North facing
facade at Blaine Street for transparency providing indirect light with minimal solar gain and a
stronger connection to the main public thoroughfare communicating the building's use and
function to all who pass by. Increase pedestrian connection rather than solely focusing on the
vehicular approach. Strong signage acting as wayfinding so the community knows what facilities
are available to them. Consider including a public signage board that shows the impact of the solar
panels shown on the roof design. Scaling down large parking areas through the incorporation of
planted islands will help soften the impact of these areas. 35-44 Port Townsend

I am NOT in favor of the project. I feel
that our area has more pressing basic
infrastructure needs and public safety
issues that should take priority of any
available funds. In the current economic
environment people are already
struggling to make ends meet. Any
additional taxes would be crippling.
Additionally, the existing facility is not
used by the majority of the population.
There are plenty of other ways to
achieve better physical fitness to those
who are interested or concerned. It is
not necessary, nor is it responsible to
undertake such an expense that would
burden the tax-paying citizens of
Jefferson County. 65 and over Port Townsend

This must be done in a cost-effective way. There are very few residents in Port Townsend and the
cost per each is significant to most. No need to get fancy and costly. Leave that for bigger, more
generic cities. Remember, we'll all here because we don't want to be, or be like, those places out
there. 65 and over Cape George

What a waste of city funds. Paying for consultants, architects, artists renderings for a project the
city can't afford. Between this and the golf course how much has been spent on these proposals?
The city employees and elected officials would do well to acknowledge Port Townsend is a small,
rural community, not an urban, tax rich area with funds to waste on these non-essential facilities.
Stop the financial bleeding. Scale down the projects to fit the area where you serve. 55-64 Port Townsend

MEETING MINUTES
The following meeting minutes represent my understanding of the discussions and directions during the
meeting. Attendees should communicate any revisions to Opsis Architecture (hereby Opsis).
Project Vision & Goals
· Reviewed Project Vision & Goals
· Revise language of Project Vision: “rebuild the pool” to be “replace and enhance”
Project Schedule Overview
· Design team will be back in person for Open House events in March, May, and July
· First open house is March 14th. Will want to hold at Fort Warden since may get a large turnout
· Suggestion to do a tour of the existing YMCA facility as a project launch. Could be separate date.
· Outreach to County will also be critical – Design Team will present to County Council
· Could larger meetings be held at Finn River instead of the fort to move it to a county level
· Content for First Open House:
o Share site analysis and gather community input
Meeting Minutes February 10, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 2 of 4
o Share what guidance has been received and gather community input on what we are
missing or if they agree with the guidance
o Share Guiding Principles and Site Evaluation Criteria
o Site plans will show building and parking footprint for sense of scale. Not a building
design
· Key Lessons Learned – Show our work and be explicit. Share more information rather than less,
City will provide a website for the community to access information about the project.
Market Analysis:
· Determine as a group the Primary (distance people will travel 1x/week or more) and Secondary
Service Areas (distance people will travel for an event but not likely every week)
· Service Areas may not be the same as an MPD
· Discussed service area including south Chimacum (Primary Area) and bottom of and west of
Discovery Bay (Secondary Area) (if their kids are in the PT School District and oriented towards PT)
· Quilcene could be looked at for a secondary market and Chimacum School District.
· Important to understand assessed value of homes in that area and who in the area may never use
the facility.
· Map of current amenities and transit routes will be developed to understand who might benefit
from the facility
o Port Ludlow has two pools and likely won’t vote for an MPD
o Similar providers include Port Ludlow, Sequim, Port Angeles, Bainbridge
o Kate Dean can help review list of private and public service providers
· The Y can likely provide data on where people are coming from to use both Mountain View and
Sequim. – Ken and Wendy to work together.
· Pool Operations – Wendy and Ken to follow up to gather as much information as possible on
existing & Operations.
Space Program:
· Program Elements need to be looked at from a Cost Recovery perspective as well – cost to build,
operate and maintain vs. how much revenue they bring in.
· Amenity selection is critical – the more things added, the more cost but potentially the more
users. What would make this facility exciting that the community isn’t getting somewhere else.
· Program should be right-sized to this community
· Critical amenities like universal changing rooms will be included
· Resilience/emergency management – whether planned for or not, will be used this way if
necessary. Not much federal funds for increased resiliency but will meet current seismic code
which is a vast improvement from existing facility
· Pickle Ball – is huge in PT. How does it fit into the facility?
· Will want to address how the facility impacts to long-standing locally owned facilities
· Group fitness has not returned to PT in the ways that it has in other places.
· How does membership change based on being inside the MPD or out?
· 6 lane 25-yard pool feels right sized – can have swim team practice, swim meets and exercise
swimming. Lap pool will include starting blocks.
o Should the pool have a deep section?
Could be used for dive training for scuba divers
Traditionally deep water is the least used water/sf and the most expensive.
Pool Depth for a singular use is the most difficult to justify – multiple uses like
springboard, climbing wall, divers can start to make sense
Springboard diving is sometimes a qualifier in a HS competition (1 meter springboard
requires 12.5’ pool depth) but not an absolute requirement
Diving can push you into a higher risk category for insurance but not a deal breaker.
Usually utility and other costs are the bigger issue.
Meeting Minutes February 10, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 3 of 4
· Recreation Pool is the warm pool –
o can also have the whirlpool integrated
o Zero depth entry – great for seniors and toddlers,
o body of water for aerobic, not all the shaping, keep it highly programmable –
o right sized is about 3000sf
o Lazy River often most expensive part due to organic shape and water propulsion system
o Hospital does not need the lazy river for therapy, just the warm water
o Visitors might be interested in some of these amenities like a Lazy River
· Operators often do not like the steam, jacuzzi, and sauna
· Steering Committee to tour examples of other facilities:
Stanwood –
· 7’ to 4’ – no diving, 6 lane 25-yards
· Leisure pool 2000sf
o Two 25-yard lap lanes
o Open play with basketball hoops
o Long linear aerobics classes
o Small lazy river- no inner tubes, water walking against the current
o Small whirlpool on the deck
Everett
· 2800sf leisure pool
o Sloped entry though not technically ADA
o Play zone
o Lazy river
· 6 lanes 25-yard lap pool – no diving – 7’ max depth to 4’ shallow depth
o No swim meet there that requires a diving component
Skagit Valley Y - Ryan can join on this one
· 6 lane 25 yard – add steps to use the pool for other uses – could also do ramp into pool vs.
chair lift – chair lift preferred. Ramp is better for folks who can walk but have a little trouble
· 3000sf leisure pool –
o three abbreviated lap lanes – swimming lessons, water aerobics, therapy lanes
o Lazy river
· If an MPD is necessary, what amenities would get communities excited?
· Waterslides might not be long-term fun and take up a lot of space
· Hospital is interested in space for their Physical Therapy Program
· A Teaching Kitchen for nutrition and cooking classes (not a full commercial kitchen like fairgrounds)
to build on Aaron Stark’s efforts in the community. Locate next to a classroom
· Group exercise room
· Cardio-weight fitness
· Childcare vs. Childwatch – Licensed childcare creates a lot of complexities but drop-in childwatch is a
must if trying to maximize revenue and family participation.
· Gym – Currently 7 in Port Townsend. Critical amenity or could it be planned as a future addition?
· Design Team will share preferred program options with associated costs at next Workshop
· A masterplan vision for the site with co-located social services could be compelling to the community
Financing Plan:
· Funding is where the money comes from vs. financing
· MPD is typically an unspecified amount – as a jurisdiction you can put a property tax levy that calls out
the amount you’re going to levy instead which can be more amenable to the community
· If seeking a $20M bond – will need to size the area enough that your debt limit is covered.
· Need to balance complexity and value of the facility relative to evaluation and ability to pay for it.
· For next workshop meeting will run numbers based on potential MPD area
Meeting Minutes February 10, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 4 of 4
· Additional funding sources: State of WA and Federal Gov (approx. $10M), private fundraising (approx.
$6M), and other (approx.$4M).
· Sales Tax –probably an importer of sales tax revenue from visitors but can be very challenging
because sales tax has high variance –challenging from a resiliency perspective.
· Communities get very creative - many pools are MPD only – but also look at capital dollars
· Snohomish - Built with school district bond dollars but city pays for operations
· City of Port Townsend currently spends $300,000/year on pool – city is hoping to NOT spend that
much in the future
Sites:
· Likely looking at approx.40,000sf building with half of that being pool and locker rooms. Need to
provide adequate parking area (approx. 3.4 stalls/ 1000sf)
· Hospital site is too small (approx. 1-acre)
· Golf Course – community seems to want it to remain an open space and timing doesn’t align with site
decision for this study.
· Mountain View –
o lots of good reasons to site it here. Can also design the new building to keep the existing pool
operational until new one is built.
o Discussed potential for adaptive reuse but the existing building would require so much work.
o Discussed potential to keep or reuse gym building
o Dog park would need to be relocated.
o ReCyclery may need to be relocated to accommodate building and parking requirements
· Opsis team will also evaluate the Evan’s Vista site which is a more county-centric location on the
south boundary of PT.

MEETING MINUTES
The following meeting minutes represent my understanding of the discussions and directions during the
meeting. Attendees should communicate any revisions to Opsis Architecture (hereby Opsis).
Space Program and Capital Cost
· Reviewed potential program options and associated capital costs.
· Options included those with and without a gym.
· #1 priority is competition pool –
o 6 lane 25 yards
o Starting Blocks, no springboard (7’ deep and sloping to 4’ at shallow end)
o Diving adds cost and issues with insurance. Might not allow any diving activity. The Swim
Coach has indicated diving is very desirable for the local swim team.
· Group would like to understand the option of diving including capital and operational costs
· Wendy indicated that at the YMCA diving never pencils out and would not want to operate the
facility of diving were part of it.
· There is currently only one pool on the peninsula that has diving capabilities.
Meeting Minutes March 10, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 2 of 2
· Hospital has indicted that they are only interested in having Physical Therapy program if there
are also a full suite of rec activities like weights and cardio equipment.
· Looked at two phase approach – competition pool first and then warm water pool
o Group felt it would be too difficult to fund a second phase.
o Also results in less than ideal layout with bleachers in the middle. Can create lifeguard
issues.
o Warm water pool with zero entry is critical to the project – good for both seniors and
toddlers
Site Analysis and Test Fit:
· Evans Vista – may have issues with deed restrictions
· Hospital Site – not large enough for program
· Golf Course Site – will likely have some controversy associated with it.
· Mountain View Commons
o Fits well with the other uses
o Incorporating the Recyclery site would be helpful for having a little more room; Carrie to
reach out to Recyclery to discuss their next steps.
Primary & Secondary Service Area:
· Reviewed two options for both Primary (visit 1x/week, want to be conservative with this area)
and Secondary Service Areas (visit for events, can be more aspirational)
· Identified smaller Primary Service Area (Option 1) and larger Secondary Service Area (Option 2)
as likely the correct areas.
· Service Area and MPD Area do not necessarily need to be the same.
· YMCA data says 82% of visitors came from Port Townsend zip code (this includes some people
who are technically outside of the city limits but still indicates high useage by people in town)
Operations and Financial Funding:
· Reviewed an overview of different funding districts and tools applicable to the Port Townsend
pool planning
· Prepared estimates of capital funding needs and operating funding needs
· Compared capital and operating needs to debt and levy levels in a hypothetical MPD district
· Squim built their pool through a Parks and Rec Services Area but required renewing through a
vote and after 6 years was voted down.
· PFD requirements possibly changed in the last year due to Pasco, WA legislature
· Morgan to review what is possible with a City only PFD
· Steering Committee is very concerned about getting a county-wide MPD passed.
Next Steps:
· Erica to share corrected slides for Steering Committee to review further –
· Next Steering Committee Meeting is 4/21 - can schedule an interim meeting to discuss funding
further if desired.
· Board of County Commissioners, City Council, and Open House week of 3/13
· Design Team to develop operational cost scenarios and begin concept designs

MEETING MINUTES
The following meeting minutes represent my understanding of the discussions and directions during the
meeting. Attendees should communicate any revisions to Opsis Architecture (hereby Opsis).
Open House 1 and Survey Feedback
· Saltwater Pool vs. Chlorine Pool
o Survey echos feedback Carrie has received in passing from the community
o Common misconception that saline pools have NO chlorine. Still have about the same
amount – this is required in public pools for sanitation reasons. An alternate is Bromine
but that is much more expensive.
o Water Technology typically doesn’t recommend saline pools because they are a harsher
environment even though they feel “softer” – like water softener
o New pools have a lot less chlorine in them today than older pools.
Site Selection:
· Golf Course Update - Have 4 design approaches to the Golf Course site and all of them show a
long linear park along Blaine.
Meeting Minutes April 21, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 2 of 3
· If Aquatics Center located on the golf course site would want to have visual presence from
Kearney but that means it would interrupt the long linear park along Blaine.
· Mountain View is currently the preferred site
· Are still gathering feedback on all 4 sites at the County Open House on 4/27.
o Are not currently considering other sites outside of Port Townsend because of the need
for wastewater utilities with a pool and market study indicates need for a certain density
of population in order to support an aquatics center
· The plan fits on the Mountain View site without the Recyclery site but would be easier to keep the
existing pool open during construction with the Recyclery site included.
· Once construction is complete would allow for more site amenities as well.
· Carrie in conversation with the Recyclery about the future of the site and looking to see if there is
a comparative site to their existing site (rent free, centrally located, great for biking, bike repair,
and an educational component) that would better serve them.
Site Plan:
· Without the Recyclery site don’t have quite enough parking to serve all of the buildings
o Opsis to look at adding angled parking along Blaine
o Parking behind the Recyclery is difficult because of the 8’-0” grade change from
Kearney.
· Can public amenities flip to the west side of the site so they are along the street and not the
parking?
o Would mean we would have less space for amenities because there would be drive
aisles on either side of them.
o Can add more landscaping to the parking area so doesn’t feel as large
Building Form:
· Renderings are intended to be initial design concept
· Amount of wood shown should align with the overall project budget
· Would be great to see swim scoreboard on one of the walls
· Glare on the water is a concern for lifeguards
· Some conversations are currently exploring if affordable housing can be added to the project.
o Could this help to pay for the project? - Typically only non=affordable housing projects
would help pay for the pool
o Seems like an incompatible use to some – would want to test it with the public if
exploring in more detail
o Could go on top of phase 2 (the Gym or workout areas) but not usually over the pool
because of the long spans needed in the space – can’t support housing above.
o Could impact timeline of project
· Preserving the Pool – This option is still open but still concerned about the cost associated with
just saving the building.
Operations and Funding:
· Reviewed overall project costs and first pass at operational costs
· Showing the pool closing between noon and 3pm is because it can be difficult to staff fully
operational hours. Wendy suggested we put forward full operational hours, no closures, as that
would be the preferred approach.
· Currently City is subsidizing the project at approximately $300,000/year – No existing city
subsidy is assumed in the required subsidy shown in each option.
· Rates appear to be affordable in Wendy’s experience
· Revenue is inclusive of all program elements including revenue from swimming classes,
summer camp, rentals, fitness classes, etc. – revenue seems a little low in Wendy’s experience.
· Would be curious to see how the revenue and operational costs compare to Sequim
Meeting Minutes April 21, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 3 of 3
· Council can create a Public Facility District but community needs a simple majority in order to
implement the taxing
· MPD will also need voter approval so would need to go to voters twice
· There is a risk that one would pass and not the other.
· MPD may be difficult to pass if not improving other county recreational facilities.
· An additional meeting to discuss financing would be helpful. Carrie to coordinate a time
Open House:
· At County Open House will want to hear from the community what would make an aquatics
center relevant to them?
· At Open House 2 will want to present preferred site, baseline development and potential
phases that would get to a full build out
Next Steps:
· Erica to share slides
· Carrie to coordinate meeting time for finance meeting
· Design Team to finalize Open House presentation for Open House 2 on May 3rd (virtual) and May
4th (in person)
· Carrie to facilitate County Open House on April 27th

MEETING MINUTES
The following meeting minutes represent my understanding of the discussions and directions during the
meeting. Attendees should communicate any revisions to Opsis Architecture (hereby Opsis).
Initial Open House 2 and Survey Feedback Summary
· Reviewed feedback from Open House 2 and initial survey feedback. The survey ended the night
before at 5pm so an in-depth review has not been completed yet.
Design Update:
· Based on feedback from Open House and survey, the community is split between a basic
aquatics center and the full program including gym.
· Some community members mentioned the Shore Aquatics Center in Port Angeles as a
comparable project (30,000sf) that was built in 2019 for a stated $20Million and has 4 bodies of
water.
Meeting Minutes May 19, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 2 of 3
· Opsis reviewed this project as a precedent study and spoke with Trish Drew, the cost estimator on
the Opsis team who was also the cost estimator on the Shore Aquatics project).
o Some of the differences in the project are that it was a renovation of a 20,000sf existing
aquatics center with a 10,000sf addition. The main swimming pool is not a 25-yard pool,
and they kept the diving well.
o Feedback from the operator of Shore Aquatics is that the diving pool is very expensive to
operate, and they wish they had not renovated the existing center but just built it new
because they still have a sub-standard pool.
o Cost-wise, the construction only cost 2019 was $17.5 million which, when escalated to a
construction start of summer of 2025 to compare with Healthier Together and including
soft costs, is around $37.3Million which is roughly the same as the costs we’re seeing on
the initial Healthier Together base aquatics project.
· Based on the analysis of the Shore Aquatics project and feedback from the community that there
was a real desire for more child-friendly play amenities (like a lazy river) in the rec pool, Opsis
developed an alternate base option that reduces the overall square footage of the building but
adds more space to the natatorium and rec pool.
· Additionally in conversation with Jefferson Healthcare they felt the location was a little too far to
move all of their Physical Therapy space to this location but that they could be interested in a
500-750sf Wellness room that could be used for a variety of activities. This was also added to the
reduced plan.
· The reduced plan also includes an option for a future addition that could accommodate a
gymnasium or other desired amenities.
· The community also raised the question of community showers for the unhoused population.
The Steering Committee recognized this as an important issue within their community that
needs to be addressed but is not really connected to the Aquatics Center. They will work on this
effort outside of the Healthier Together initiative.
· The Steering Committee discussed keeping the existing gym but there are issues with having to
have separate staff at the gym unless used a key card system like the Evergreen Gym. Also
discussed that the boiler room for the gym is underneath the existing swimming pool so that
would need to be relocated if the pool was removed but the gym stays.
· The committee liked the updated plan. Design Team will work through final updates and share
with cost estimator on the team to develop a more detailed cost estimate for both construction
and soft costs.
Funding:
· Utilizing an MPD and PFD approach would require two votes which brings down the probability
of them both passing.
o Is it possible to sequence votes such that if a PFD fails it’s still possible to get the MPD?
· Discussed the potential to raise more capital through grants, state funding, philanthropy to buy
down the amount needed to be raised in an MPD.
o County Lobbyist has been asked to look for funding sources
o Splashpad funding could likely be found through grants
· PFD is desirable because a good percentage of the money is raised from visitors to Jefferson
County and not just the residents. But a PFD is more volatile based on the economy and
requires a source to backstop it in any given year when enough money is not raised.
· Could have a base design with additional amenities listed as optional pending funding.
Operations:
· Did not have time to discuss.
Communications:
· Discussed briefly.
Meeting Minutes May 19, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 3 of 3
· City working on communications around city programs in general and will incorporate some
communication around the Healthier Together initiative.
Next Steps:
· Erica to share slides
· Carrie, Wendy, Ken, Jim, and Erica to meet to discuss operations in more detail and will bring
information back to the group.
· Design Team to present update to City Council on June 12th.
· Steering Committee Workshop 5 scheduled for June 16th.

MEETING MINUTES
The following meeting minutes represent my understanding of the discussions and directions during the
meeting. Attendees should communicate any revisions to Opsis Architecture (hereby Opsis).
Feedback from County Commissioner and City Council Presentations:
· Presented at County Commissioners Meeting and City Council Meetings Monday 6/12
· Commissioners Feedback
o Liked the design
o Questions on other tools beyond Sales Tax with a PFD – See Funding section in notes below
· City Council Feedback
o Concern there is too much parking; desire for multi-modal site access– bikes, bus, walking
o Suggestion to create more street fronting entry to encourage pedestrian access
o Other councilors noted concern about other community buildings with a children focus with
street front entry creating a not safe situation for children at drop off on a busy street.
· Steering Committee Response:
Meeting Minutes June 16, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 2 of 5
o Parking – Incorporate Electric Car charging stations at the pool and electric bike charging
stations (110 plug-in); Note: Cost estimate includes some electric car charging stations.
o Reducing parking reduces site costs but important to have potential for future expansion to
have enough parking for county residents with less ability to take the bus or bike to the site.
o Opsis shared an example of a recent project in Hillsboro Oregon that opened a few years ago
and is already expanding their parking to meet demand.
Design Update:
o Site plans for base option and full build out
o Dotted area is existing aquatics and gym space
o Base project would not include additional pickleball court, playground, splash pad. Those
could be carried as Add Alternates
o
o Parking:
o Base option shows more parking than necessary. Could reduce build out to reduce site costs.
o Looked at benefit of restriping Blaine to be diagonal parking. Only increases by 8 spaces and
adds additional scope/cost in right-of-way
o Design Inspiration:
o Local maritime environment
o Use of wood to reflect Port Townsend
o Steering Committee Feedback:
o Could splashpad move to north end of site near plaza for more public access?
Cost Estimate:
o Goal of Cost Estimating process:
o Maximize the design for the available budget
o Guide smart material selections to save money, understand which materials have more
volatility in price, understand what design decisions might limit competitive pricing due to
lack of local tradpartners skilled in that scope of work
o Can impact cost by 80% now but only by 10% once contractor is selected.
o Identify and mitigate risks to the project
o Understand what it’s going to cost to build this building in this location
o Shore Aquatics Precedent
o Total project cost is $37.3 million in current dollars
o Site development was minimal as it was already developed – existing grading and base
foundations in place.
o Was a risky project because kept a lot of the existing building and there is the potential for
cost increase with the amount of unknowns.
o Feedback from Shore Aquatics Executive Director is that dive tank does not get a lot of use
and would not include it again.
o Healthier Together Preliminary Cost Estimate was program based with $/sf assigned by space
o DCW completed detailed estimate based on actual design.
o Estimate includes escalation to April 2025; market will likely continue to soften over the next
couple of years.
o Estimate includes demolition of existing buildings
o Cost Estimate came in higher than program-based budget
o Opsis and DCW incorporated cost saving measures to the original design to reduce cost:
Reduced glazing
Reduced contingency based on taking a Target Value Design approach to the project
– identifying budget for each aspect of the building and designing to that budget
Changed from mass timber/CLT to standard wood framing and simpler roof system
Reduced number of retaining walls
Cost estimate still includes Photovoltaic system and size of project remains the same
Meeting Minutes June 16, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 3 of 5
o Updated estimate of original design is still $6M over even with above listed reductions
o Soft Costs are not included in the cost estimate but estimated at 33% of the construction costs and
include design, permit, owner’s contingency, Furniture and Finishes, etc.
o DCW and Opsis identified an alternate approach to the design to reduce costs further while keeping
the building as similar as possible
o Relocated building to the middle of the site to balance cut and fill and save on site
development costs
If need to remove soil for geotechnical reasons can tuck building into the grade
In ground pool instead of above grade Mirtha Pool allows for more competitive bids
because more people can build it.
o Northeast side 8’ tall retaining wall - reduces exterior skin, good thermal characteristics
o Reduced glazing by making southwest facing wall more solid – better for lighting control and
privacy from street.
o Reduce site development costs with less parking to start
o Don’t want to reduce program because otherwise do no get full operational value.
o Updated Site Plan to reduce cost
Nice space for exterior plantings for providing summer shading
Separate parking lot to serve Food Bank but can still access the community center
Could reduce the parking even more
Potential for Addition – area for expansion is larger than before; could do a two court
gym if desired
Want to make sure whatever we build now is retained and not removed later
The ReCyclery site can become expanded parking in the future when needed
o DCW will complete cost estimate on this revised design but in general looks like it will help
reduce costs due to:
Efficiencies of using the site contours which reduces foundation costs
Orientation – less span out of hillside more aligned with existing conditions
Reduction of glazed areas
Adjoining parking lot –
· need to work with Food Bank to get an effective parking lot for their flow
· could stair access be redesigned for more effective access
Site Amenities – can be added over time as part of grants - show it in the plan for the
Mountain View Golf Course study
o Steering Committee Questions/Feedback:
Like general direction of revised option
Existing building can be maintained during construction but parking would be
reduced.
Existing gymnasium is in very bad shape and would incur a lot of cost to keep it and
renovate it – needs new roof
Steering Committee would like to understand cost of adding the gym
· Show as line item in cost estimate
· Pickleball – they come inside October to April – or will want a covered
opportunity.
Gym is a priority to the community over group fitness
· Schools would use the gym but building a new one is not a top priority
Like revised location of splashpad
Could Pickleball club help fundraise for Pickleball add alternate?
Would like to understand cost of 750sf wellness area
Carrie met with ReCyclery board – they weren’t surprised. Wanted to know timing.
Carrie said a year from now.
· Could be even further out if this is the approach we use
· Buffer of parking area between ReCyclery and building is an improvement
and takes pressure off that situation.
Meeting Minutes June 16, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 4 of 5
· Blue Heron land is all marsh land so not a good choice for ReCylcery
· Looking at the golf course site
o Next Steps:
o Identify and mitigate risks to reduce contingency
Geotech report will identify any unknowns regarding on site soils
· School District does not have an existing Geotech report for the site.
· Carrie to explore having one completed.
· Opsis and DCW to provide scope of work including soil analysis to 60’ at
(4) locations below building site. Do not need water infiltration testing.
o Identify Soft Costs – currently estimated at 33% of construction cost
Identifying these costs now allows for more certainty in the project and for allocation
of more dollars towards the cost of construction
o Adjoining parking lot –
need to work with Food Bank to get an effective parking lot for their flow
· could stair access be redesigned for more effective access
o Identify Alternates:
Gym would be the priority over group fitness
Site Amenities – can be added over time as part of grants – but show in plan for the
Mountain View Golf Course study so have big picture in mind
Operations:
o Comparison of two design options – Base and Full Build out
o Operational cost assumptions
o First year of operation 2026
o Center is operated by a Public Agency
o Hours of Operation
69 hours for Base
80 hours for Full Build Out.
o Fee structure –
Slightly different for the Base and Full Build Out Options
Variety of Options- daily, 10 visit pass, annual, and month to month
Options for adult, youth, senior, and household
o Swim Lessons do not pay additional access fees, just pay for the swim class
o Staffing – 2/3 of operating budget comes from staffing – especially with aquatics and need for
lifeguards, includes full time and part time staffing in the analysis
o Cost Recovery at 66% is high for aquatics-only facilities but basing it on what we’re seeing at
other facilities in the county
o Subsidy comes into alignment with what City subsidy currently is.
o Steering Committee Feedback:
Salaries – might need to increase wages shown for 2026 and to help retain staff
Small difference between resident and non-resident cost – community would expect
to see a larger differential. Is that standard?
· Shore Aquatics center does not have a differential
· Bainbridge has a very small one
· This is a reasonably small market to draw from so need to pull in visitors and a
greater than 10% differential starts to reduce number of visitors who will visit
Shore facility has a VERY low rate structure and operational subsidy is likely
significant; Carrie working on getting that information – ED is back next week.
Important to understand their finances without Childcare (Spark)
o Adding a gym would be a critical capital investment
o Steering Committee would like to see operational analysis with Base Design and just the Gym
added. Gym doesn’t increase revenue in the same way that the cardio/weights piece does. –
but could do group fitness in the gymnasium
Meeting Minutes June 16, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 5 of 5
o Hospital Wellness space already captures a number of fitness classes
Funding:
o PFD Tools:
o Sales tax is the biggest opportunity
o Admissions tax – district-wide - tack on 5% to memberships, daily use fees
o Parking tax for facilities that the PFD owns – not likely to tax your own parking
o Lodging taxes more complicated – intended for convention centers – have to go through a
public vote – only applies to lodging units over 40 units and can’t go over 2%.
o Can combine all of these options - Morgan to run an analysis with Sales, Admissions, and Lodging
tax
o Reviewed a variety of analyses of percent of capital coverage and length of debt.
o Analysis based on Median home value - $600,000
o Per year at the peak - $260/year
o MPD only with a city subsidy of $400k/year (70% capital coverage and 30-year debt) yields:
o Base project - Tax of $0.28/$1000 property value
o Full Build out project – Tax of $0.36/$1000 property value
o Could a fully loaded PFD could you get to this rate? – Morgan to analyze
o The 20-30 year debt makes sense because it spreads the effort to future residents.
o These charts assume an MPD using MPD Option 1 for area. An MPD only in the city limits would
provide half as much revenue because has half the property valuation The rates would be double
what is shown in the charts.
o MPD is always a simple majority vote
o If the Primary Service area is outside the city does the County need to take the lead on putting it up
for a vote instead of the City? - Morgan to research
o Formation Rules – we can elect a board for the MPD or could appoint a board to the MPD
o PFD and an MPD
o Still some concern about doing both an MPD and a PFD and the risk of a double vote
o Could time it to do an MPD first and then in a couple of years do a PFD to lower everyone’s
taxes or raise additional funds for adding on to the building
o Carrie and Erica to organize a separate Finance specific meeting
Communications & Polling:
o Important decisions to communicate:
o Mountain View Site Selected
Site is donated, does not need to be purchased. Appraisal to understand land value
o Moving forward with Base Plan but carrying gym and outdoor amenities as alternates
o Current school gym is maximized – by the school – could not be used by the pickleball community –
6am and weekend is open gym to community
o City will continue subsidy at the same level
o Design process is incorporating value engineering early
o Polling
o Will need to do polling but can push to August/September
o Carrie will research potential polling resources
o Opinion piece from JeffCo Aquatics Coalition - highlighting value of facility to the community and the
up-coming Open House
Next Steps:
· Erica to share slides
· Carrie and Erica to organize a separate finance only meeting
· Design Team to develop updated layout and get updated pricing from DCW
· Steering Committee Workshop 6 scheduled for July 5th.

MEETING MINUTES
The following meeting minutes represent my understanding of the discussions and directions during the
meeting. Attendees should communicate any revisions to Opsis Architecture (hereby Opsis).
Funding:
o Recap:
o Base & Full Build Out – Range between options is roughly $10M
o Current City Subsidy is $300-450,000/year range
o Public Funding Vehicle options – MPD or PFD
o MPD Governance – 3 options
o Unique district and own governance structure (can elect officials when putting MPD to vote)
o Wholly within one city or incorporated area in one county – sponsoring jurisdiction can act as
ex officio
o Multiple cities or county areas – each legislative authority may appoint one member to board.
o Park district would be JUST for the aquatics. In ballot you would specify the extent of it.
Meeting Minutes July 5, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 2 of 3
o If service area of MPD doesn’t extend south, may not need to incorporate upgrades to other
county amenities
o MPD Funding Option:
o May issue debt obligation to 2.5% of their assessed valuations
o Only 0.25% may be non-voted. The majority of the required debt would need to be voted on
and passed by 60% vote (super majority with at least 40% of previous election turning out)
o Would likely need 2 votes but legal counsel might provide an option for structuring the votes
to see if it’s possible to both create the MPD and fund it in a single vote.
This would combine a simple majority vote with a super majority (60%) vote
o Could put MPD at 0.25% in place for a period of time and save the money to pay for the
building in cash.
o PFD Funding Options:
o Typically used to operate Convention and Event centers (economic tourism) but state law
adjusted to allow them for use with recreational facilities
o Requires voter approval (simple majority) for the PFD
o Requires an independent financial feasibility review (before the public vote)
o Boundaries can be single city, multiple cities/towns, and unincorporated
o Governance
Sponsoring jurisdiction appoints 3 members, and the governing board appoints 3
more members on recommendations of local organizations
o Funding Available:
Can charge fees
Admissions tax up to 5% - ONLY for admission to the facility that the PFD manages
Parking charge only for the parking connected to the facility
0.2% sales tax
May accept and expend gifts, grants, or donations.
o Only 1 ballot measure needed to create the PFD entity and put taxes in place
o Jefferson county already collects lodging tax – $800,000 on 2% lodging tax in 2021 (separate
from City of Port Townsend lodging tax). Lodging tax is only for buildings with over 40 units.
o Financial Summary:
o $1.6M(Base) to $2.4M (Full Build Out) annual subsidy needed (in addition to city’s current
$400,000 subsidy)
o PFD only works at a County-Wide level – this would be one vote
o City PFD can help lower the needed MPD rate but isn’t sufficient alone.
o MPD only option can support needed subsidy (capital and operational)
o Questions/Feedback
o The City Lodging Tax could also be a source of funding
o Only a County PFD can have a lodging tax county-wide.
o Base option only needs $1.6M and county-wide PFD would raise roughly $1.4M
o A PFD could be created based on the MPD Option 1 or 2 boundaries, but county-wide lodging
tax is only available if the PFD is based on the entire county
o Sales tax is variable and would need to be certain there is a back-stop in place in case of a
recession. MPD would put the facility on a more sustainable footing in the long run.
o County-wide PFD requires a single vote to create and fund it. County must put it on ballot.
o PFD doesn’t have a direct calculation for determining the direct costs to residents in the same
way a property tax does with the MPD.
o PFD is more desirable in some respects because doesn’t impact other institutions that rely on
a property tax levee vote.
o What is the potential of doing an MPD now and future PFD to lower property tax dollars?
Could be confusing to voters or have voters lose trust in institutions.
o Steering Committee will make a recommendation to City Council or County Commissioners.
Meeting Minutes July 5, 2023
Opsis Architecture LLP Page 3 of 3
Operations:
o Based on operations and cost recovery, would recommend only Base and Full Build Out Option.
o Wendy recommends the full model if we want to cover our operating costs
o Concern over government competing with local businesses in Full-Build Out Option
o Ken Ballard indicated seeing no evidence of this nationally. If anything it enhances the
private side. Have seen NEW private facilities go in after a community center is built.
Ken understands why the fear is there but have not seen it play out in reality.
o The Operational Plan does include some dollars for capital replacement.
Design Update:
o Site Plan Options can be reduced to two:
o Base : Aquatics only
o Base + Gym + Multi-Use space
o Additional parking on ReCyclery site not needed.
Cost Estimate:
o Cost Estimate Assumptions:
o Contingency at 10% assuming a Target Value Design process
o Escalation included to April 2025
o Soft costs are an allowance of 33% of construction costs. DCW can work with the team to
identify those costs to reduce uncertainty
o Cost Estimate completed for the Base option with a range of Add Alternates.
o Total project costs:
o Base is $37.1M.
o Base + Gym = $44.0M
o Base +Gym+Multi-Use = $45.9M
o The Base + Gym option doesn’t save much money and reduces the overall cost recovery.
o Alternates:
o The pickleball courts are relatively low in cost and may make sense to try and incorporate into
the overall project.
o Current cost estimate is final estimate for this phase of the project but if Geotech report or other
information impacts the estimate, DCW can make small updates to make sure it’s aligned.
Open House 3:
o Want to include Steering Committee recommendations for:
o Site
o Program
o Want to include current thinking on funding approach as well as
o Fundraising goal of 15% through grants, philanthropy, etc.
o Current donations (property)
o Steering Committee will meet next Tuesday to finalize community survey questions and presentation
Project Calendar: Did not discuss
o Calendar extended to September for final recommendation to City Council and County
Commissioners.
o Final Report will be completed by end of August.
o Assumes a possible voter approved initiative in February’s special election.
Next Steps:
· Erica to share slides
· Erica to develop draft of Open House slideshow

o Public Showers – include information in report that city is evaluating where it is
o A critical concern for the community
o City will explore operational feasibility of a token program or other approaches
o Steering committee concern that the use is fundamentally inconsistent with the function of
the building. Could find a more compatible location.
Funding and Operations:
o Timing:
o City Council is looking at a TBD for November to fund streets.
o Will want to consider other parameters for when it’s placed on the ballot including:
Presidential Election 2024
School Bond 2025
o Do not want to lose current momentum
Could continue with Design Development to get the project closer to shovel ready
o Critical to move things forward sooner:
Cost estimate is escalated to Spring of 2025; will cost more if waiting longer
If the existing pool breaks down could have a couple of years with no aquatics.
If the pool had to close before the new pool is built, could do a shuttle to Sequim
o PFD Research
o 5 locations that have more than 40 lodging units including 2 camp sites (
There is circular language in the code in that the PFD statute refers to state sales tax
statute to determine who would be paying. If you pay sales tax you are required to
pay PFD lodging tax but when you go to State sales tax it does not list lodging.
Need clarification if campsites count
Kate can have team run numbers once questions are clarified
o MPD Research
o Needs to be 2 votes but can put on the same ballot and can connect them with language.
o Seems easier to get a yes yes on the same ballot
Can set up the votes that if you don’t vote for both, it doesn’t happen.
o Community Feedback:
o Property tax seems to be the biggest concern. Valuation creep.
o Fire District had quite an increase and may be impacting community’s tolerance
o Port’s tax will phase out in 2026. Won’t re-up if there isn’t a compelling list of projects
o If MPD is a preferred approach, need more conversations around individual tax burden
o Sales Tax – community needs more clarity on what this means to them. Particularly if big
ticket items are often purchased out of county.
Erica to follow up with Morgan to clarify average sales tax impact on individuals
o Commissioner Eisenhower speaking against the project at a hearing on Monday. Concerned
about cost and supporting it. That district’s going to be very important.
o Capital Campaign:
o Potential to raise more money and buy down capital cost to make MPD more appealing
o If someone is running a campaign the steering committee needs to be hands off
o JAC sees a strong role for themselves for messaging for campaign and fundraising
o Steering Committee would likely need to pay a capital campaign manager
o Polling
o Would be more informative if it’s closer to the actual vote
o Program:
o Community likes full build out and will create a larger coalition of community support
Concern if you go big and it doesn’t pass there is a real loss for the community; Can’t
teach kids to swim.
Meeting Minutes July 28, 2023

o If it’s only aquatics only get aquatic support but may have better chance at passing
o Y sees real value in the gym and the associated programming
o Look for a way to ask for the base plan and have a plan in place for the gym
Would like to target full build out and seek local funding first.
Build capital campaign and go for state and federal dollars before going out to the
community for additional funding through taxes
o Gym is a critical component to the Pickleball clubs – current gym is their only indoor gym
o Concern that if we don’t do gym now, will never do it. Hard to see it happening as a Phase 2.
o Concern that the full build out is seen as too much by the community
o Grants:
o Resiliency Features could bring in federal dollars but needs to be carefully reviewed
Would require designing it at a higher seismic grade
On previous projects cost of resilient features higher than grants available.
o Other grants could help fund Solar plus storage batteries
o Department of Commerce youth recreational facilities funding only funds portions OUTSIDE
of the pool.
Up to $1.2 million – would be a good funding source for the gym.
Will fund up to 25% of the time the gym will be in use. Has to be focused on kids.
Building Communities fund could also help support the project
Application cycle is one year – apply in 2024 for a 2025 grant.
Like to be last funders.
The more commitment you have, the stronger the application.
o RCO for funding outdoor amenities is every even year.
o On recent facility tour there was an indication that $5M was a reasonable ask
o Could request funds to keep design of project moving forward to get it shovel ready
o Questions on Voting:
o Can a vote be contingent on the funding? i.e. Taxes won’t be collected if we don’t meet our
fundraising goals. Could show potential donors you have community support
o Can the ballot measure be contingent on how much money can be raised outside of taxes?
o Voters could vote for base plan and if more funding is raised, can add the full build out for
additional $8M
Likely more compelling to fund the entire project.
PFD and MPD don’t require you to say what you’re going to build.
o Can we run a PFD in a special election?
o Fundraising:
o Would be raising $7M for base plan with current approach and $15M for full build out: $5 state,
$5 Fed, and $5 campaign
o Benefits if the Y operates the facility:
o If the Y operates and the city subsidizes to bring membership costs down for city residents
could be less expensive to build.
o If you get federal funding does prevailing wage come into play?
o In general Ys have more flexibility but dependent on funding streams
o Has additional funding sources it could pursue.
o Fundraising might be stronger and private contributions considered tax deductible.
o Approval rating of jurisdictions can be lower than non-profits.
o Nation-wide reciprocity at other Ys – can increase appeal but might not tip the scales
o Wouldn’t want the Y as the operator to detract from the project.
o Critical Questions for Steering Committee to answer:
o How big of a building/program
o Method of funding – What will voters support?
o Timing for voting
o Operations

MEETING MINUTES
The following meeting minutes represent my understanding of the discussions and directions during the
meeting. Attendees should communicate any revisions to Opsis Architecture (hereby Opsis).
Scale of Project:
o The group discussed their recommendation for scale of project and all felt comfortable
recommending moving forward with the Base Aquatics option with the intent to build the Full Build
Out if fundraising efforts allow.
o The Base Aquatics option would still include an increase in exterior Pickleball courts
o The local Pickleball club is less concerned with the old gym being torn down because they are
currently working on a gym that would be set up for them.
Financing:
o The Committee discussed their recommendation for financing and all felt comfortable with a PFD.
o The community had a very strong preference for a PFD
o Allocating some funds to county -wide parks (such as turf fields at HJ Carroll Park) may
broaden the appeal of the PFD.
o Remaining questions:
o Can you run a PFD in a primary election?
o If the project cost can be bought down to $22M, how much cushion does that give the
funding in slower economic years?
Meeting Minutes August 25th, 2023

o Numerical analysis of how many potential no votes there are in West Jefferson County from
voters who will not likely use the facility and how many yes votes would that require to
overcome?
o Can a PFD apply for Commerce Grants?
Timing of Vote:
o The committee discussed their recommendation for timing of the vote. There is risk associated with
all options, but all felt there was more to gain by recommending a February 2024 vote.
o Commerce Grants:
o A Feb 2024 vote would improve chances for the Commerce Grants due May-August.
Ability to show public support helps a project score well.
Potential funding: $1.2M for Youth Rec and $3-5M for Building Communities
Only non-profits can apply for Commerce Grants.
o Decision on Golf Course will be complete by February
o School Bond measure might be November 2025 or February 2026
o Roads TFD will be November 2023 – but vote shouldn’t impact decision to run vote in February
o Filing deadline for February 2024 election is Friday December 15th at 4:30pm
o Cost to file for February vote is $30,000
o Polling has become so difficult that it’s not likely to provide any new information and may not be
necessary in advance of a vote.
Existing Pool Analysis
· Independent analysis by Water Technology of existing pool and systems.
· Michael is working on hiring a firm to analyze the existing building and cost of upgrading.
· Will be complete by mid-September.
· Will analyze what would be needed to keep sub-standard pool open for another 15 years
· A renovation would close the pool for a couple of years which community was not in favor of.
· PFD would be mechanism for funding repair of the existing pool
Report Feedback:
· Team to incorporate:
o Info on health benefits of pool
o Update on existing pool evaluation and feedback from 2000 report
o Updates to recommendations based on Committee meeting.
o Clarify graphic associated with Demographics and Market Analysis
o Include information on membership approach
Project Calendar:
· Final Report coming out mid-September
· Presentation to City Council is 8/18
