Lastly, Director Delikat announced the upcoming Summertide Festival on June 14, 2025 from 12:30 to 5:00 p.m. 2. ODT Trail Repairs: Collaboration between FEMA, Public Works, and the Fire Department was acknowledged rectifying damage from the king tide that occurred the Winter of 2024. There were 13 damaged sections of the Olympic Discovery Trail with 12 Page 2 of 3 repaired at this time. These repairs were completed in good time for the upcoming North Olympic Discovery Marathon (NODM). Repairs were also completed along Marine Drive as uprising roots caused damage creating hazardous concerns for the trail. With the assistance of annual contract funds for maintaining the trail and the Peninsula Trail Coalition’s award of $30,000 from the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, these repairs were made possible. Director Delikat thanked the Peninsula Trails Coalition for their exemplary efforts repairing the trail in preparation for NODM. 3. Dream Playground Maintenance Project: Director Delikat thanked former City of Port Angeles employee Al Oman for building fish cutouts for children to paint as a defining marker of collaboration with youth in our community at the Generation III Dream Playground. The Cub Scouts were also incredibly helpful assisting with sanding and raking the turf at the playground. Complimentary marine life illustration inserts by the turf company were included into the new carpet to further the appeal of the marine theme at the park. Lastly, the ADA accessible rollie bouncer was installed with fencing removed. Future implementation aspirations include signage recognizing communal members who assisted with the playground build in years previous, along with an updated dragon motif on the slide that will hopefully be installed end of July, 2025. 4. Civic Field Videoboard: Director Delikat notified the Commission that the videoboard installation is finally complete! Director Delikat especially thanked Olympic Electric and their team’s extraordinary efforts. The grant associated with the project is now nearing completion. $600,000 will be reimbursed to the City of Port Angeles. There was also a collaboration highlighted with North Olympic Baseball and Softball (NOBAS) where two new scoreboards were installed for fields six and seven. Director Delikat highlighted all the existing Parks and Recreation Department scoreboards are now relatively new and in good shape. 5. Ediz Hook Boat Launch Update: a. History: Director Delikat thanked the Port Angeles Salmon Club for their input and collaboration as they have been associated with the Ediz Hook Boat Launch since its’ existence. The Salmon Club maintained the launch from 1940 to 1990. From there, the Port of Port Angeles maintained the boat launch followed by maintenance handled by the City of Port Angeles in 1994 and onward. Additional details were shared with the Commission regarding the RCO grant to replace the pilings in 2008, maintenance costs, previous fees, and current absence of fee accruals at that location. Page 3 of 3 b. Current Situation: The Navy previously completed a mitigation project for the docks that removed 80 feet of protection from the West. However, when the king tide occurred in the Winter of 2024, this exacerbated issues with the existing floats, making the majority unusable. There are currently just ten floats connected in one consecutive string available for moorage. c. Next Steps: Director Delikat thanked Fire Chief, Sharp and Public Works and Utilities Director, Curtin for their assistance coordinating with FEMA. An architectural and engineering study for $128,000 from FEMA will be provided for initial environmental, shoreline, biological, and economical assessments. DISCUSSION: There was a brief discussion regarding the Port of Port Angeles and their moorage fees. Also, Commissioner Hilory again brought up the desire to see volunteerism more readily integrated in the Parks and Recreation Department.
