Re: Joint Public Facility Project (JPSF) — Designation of County Project Representative
Dear Mayor Dexter & City Manager West:
We are writing today to formally notify the City of Port Angeles, consistent with Section A, Subparagraph 7 of the
Phase IIB Memorandum of Understanding dated July of 2023, that the County desires to change its JPSF project
representative from the "Clallam County Undersheriff" to the "Clallam County Administrator".
While a portion of this project does focus on the operational aspects of the new facility (to which the Sheriff's
Office will continue to be involved), a significant portion of this project has a broader focus including but not
limited to the pursuit of funding, negotiation of contractual agreements to which the County is party, and
construction/project management. Additionally, real estate in which the County has an interest and/or requires
the continued budgeting of M&O funding falls under the authority of the Board of County Commissioners.
Therefore, it is more appropriate for the coordination and facilitation of this project to be handled through the
County Administrator as the representative of the BOCC with involvement of other County departments and
personnel as appropriate.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF CLALLAM COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Mike French, Chair Randy Johnson Mark Ozias
