Statement of Issue:
Staff have evaluated the proposals to lease a portion of the P.T. Recreation Center to a private child
care service. Staff will present the preferred child care provider and the BoCC will have the
opportunity to execute the lease.
Analysis/Strategic GoalslPro's 8: Con's:
Leasing a portion of the Port Townsend Recreation Center meets the strategic goals of the County
because: it creates a new revenue source for both the Public Works and the Central Services
Departments, it supports economic development by providing care for the children of workers, it
increases the health and well being of children, and it increases recreational and educational
opportunities for children. Leasing public faellities to private parties, so that those private parties can
serve the public good, is a form of Public Private Partnership or P3. P3 is a generally accepted solution
to budgetary limitations caused by economic recession. The main draw-back of leasing a portion of the
Port Townsend Recreation Center is that it excludes the general public from access to 1346 square
feet of valuable indoor community recreation center space.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis:
The administrative costs of the public process will be funded through the existing parks and recreation
budget. The tenant will be responsible for upgrades and maintenance of the facility.
Recommendation:
Hear the recommendation, ask questions and provide input, and execute the lease for the preferred
child care provider.
