Dear Jaime,
I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet with you, Mayor Fortin. and Mike
McCliggott last week. Based upon this meeting. it is obvious that our two cities have a
variety of partnership opportunities to explore during the coming year.
As we discussed, one of our next steps is to plan a meeting involving the Mayor of Port
Angeles, your new incoming City Manager and possibly our City Councils. Once your
new City Manager comes on board, we look forward to working closely with the City of
Victoria to arrange this meeting.
Thank you for the warm hospitality extended to me during my visit. I look forward to
welcoming representatives of the City of Victoria in the very near future.
Sincerely,
Kent M

Dear Mayor Fortin,
I was so pleased to have the opportunity to meet with you, Mike McCliggott, and Jaime
Matten on April 3. Based upon this meeting, it is obvious that our two cities have a
variety ofpartnership opportunities to explore during the coming year.
As we discussed, one of our next steps is to plan a meeting involving ow Mayor of Port
Angeles, your new incoming City Manager, and possibly our City Councils. Once your
new City Manager comes on board, I will contact her to set up this meeting.
One ofthe topics we discussed at our recent meeting is the need to address the
homelessness problems in our communities. I wanted you to know that this is a major
priority in our community and we have been able to decrease total homelessness by 4l%
since 2006. I have attached information from a recent forum on ending homelessness. I
suggest that we include this important topic as part ofour discussions at our next
meeting.
Thank you for the warm hospitality extended to me during my visit, We look forward to
welcoming representatives of the City of Victoria in the very near future.
Sincerely,
