Date: May 19, 2026
To: City Council
From: Scott Curtin, Director of Public Works & Utilities
Subject: N Street Reconstruction (TR0124) – Professional Services Agreement (PSA-2026-20)
Relationship to Strategic Plan: The 2025-2026 Strategic Plan (Resolution 10-24) was approved by
the City Council on October 1, 2024. This proposal directly aligns with Strategic Focus Area #4 –
Infrastructure Development, Maintenance, and Connectivity. Additionally, this project furthers the City’s
goals through the Capital Facilities Plan under the N Street Reconstruction project TR0124.
Background / Analysis: On December 16, 2025, City Council accepted a grant from Transportation
Improvement Board (TIB) 2025 Urban Arterial Program (UAP) in the amount of $2,188,652 for the
Design and Construction phases of the N Street Reconstruction. This project will complete pavement
removal and replacement of N Street from 5th Street to 15th Street including storm conveyance
improvements, water quality storm improvements, accessible ramps, traffic calming measures, and a
striped, separated shared use side path. The work in this agreement includes funding for survey and base
mapping. Design will be completed in-house by City staff.
In April 2026, City of Port Angeles staff conducted an MRSC Roster selection. Three candidate
consultant teams were evaluated based on personnel, references, previous work for the City, and relevant
experience noted in their statements of qualifications. In evaluating the statement of qualifications,
Wengler Surveying and Mapping was determined to be the most qualified. Engineering staff worked with
Wengler Surveying and Mapping to develop a detailed scope of work and negotiate a maximum not-to-
exceed contract amount of $52,730.00 based on the anticipated tasks outlined in the table below.
Summary: Staff is seeking City Council approval to award a Professional Services Agreement PSA-
2026-20 to Wengler Surveying and Mapping of Port Angeles, WA, in the amount of $52,730.00,
including applicable taxes, to perform survey and base mapping work for the N Street Reconstruction
Project (TR0124) to address street reconstruction.
Strategic Plan: This proposal directly aligns with Strategic Focus Area #4 – Infrastructure
Development, Maintenance, and Connectivity.
Funding: The Washinton State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) awarded the City $2,188,652
in grant funding through the Urban Arterial Program for pavement reconstruction with a 20% local match
required. The project is listed in the City’s approved 2026-2031 Capital Facilities Plan and
Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) under TR0124.
Recommendation: 1) Award a Professional Services Agreement PSA-2026-20 to Wengler Surveying
and Mapping of Port Angeles, WA, in the amount of $52,730.00, including applicable taxes, and 2)
authorize the City Manager to execute all contract-related documents, to administer the contract, and to
make minor modifications as necessary.
May 19, 2026 E - 17
Task Budget
1 – Topographic Survey and Base Mapping $32,730.00
2 – Directed Services $20,000.00
Total $52,730.00
Professional Services Rationale: The City does not have the capacity to accomplish the survey task
in-house. For this reason, the City is seeking outside support. Following completion of the survey,
detailed design work will be completed in-house by City staff.
Funding Overview: The Washinton State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) awarded the City
$2,188,652 in grant funding through the Urban Arterial Program for pavement reconstruction with a 20%
local match required. The project is listed in the City’s approved 2026-2031 Capital Facilities Plan and
Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) under TR0124.

Re: Topographic mapping along “N” Street between 6th and 15 Streets within the City of Port
Angeles, Clallam County, Washington.
Dear Mr. Hayes:
Thank you for requesting that Wengler Surveying & Mapping submit a proposal for the above
mentioned topographic survey.
I understand the purpose of this survey is to map surface features in the right of way (curb to curb)
within the limits as shown on the attached maps you provided.
The survey will include, but not limited to, top back of curbs, flow lines, edge of pavement at
concrete gutter, shared use path (14 ft offset from flow line), road centerline, curb cuts and mail
boxes. Mapping will extend approximately 50 ft from curb returns. Mapping will be at approximately
50 foot intervals.
Additional mapping will be performed at intersections for approximately 25 feet from curb returns.
We will survey these areas with sufficient detail for ADA ramp design. Utility features including, but
not limited to, traffic signs, fire hydrants, water valve casings, street signs, storm water catch basins,
utility poles, mail boxes and any other surface utility.
Additional mapping will also include 100-150 ft on the west side of 10th Street (ensure pavement dip
is captured). Points along and behind failed curb segments on the west side of the street between 8th
and 10th Streets and the inlet pipe with a surface grid around the pipe at the southwest corner of 8th
and N Streets.
Additional measure downs (inverts) will be taken on storm drains and sewer manholes. Inverts on
storm drains and manholes will include approximate size, material and direction along with invert
elevations. Water valves will be measured to the lid and top center of valve handle.
May 19, 2026 E - 30
Page 2 of 4
Utility locates will be ordered through 811 services provided by the Utility Notification Center.
Additional utility communication maps will be requested at the time of the ticket request.
After the final paving is completed temporary points will be set for monument case installation. At
which time final monuments will be set.
The final topographic survey drawing will include 1 foot contours and line work.
The horizontal datum used for this survey will be based on the 1991 adjustment of the Washington
Coordinate System Grid, North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83/91). The vertical datum used for
this survey will be the North American Vertical Datum of 1983 (NAVD83) per city ordinance.
All collected survey data shall be formatted into a CAD base map compatible with AutoCAD 2020.
May 19, 2026 E - 31
Page 3 of 4
This proposal includes performing the following professional services.
Research, job setup and prepare data for field crews:
Research existing survey records for Geodetic and Vertical control monumentation and prepare and
set up job files.
Field Work: Run a horizontal and vertical control traverse along N Street for the length of the project.
This control traverse will be used to establish temporary horizontal and vertical control points (bench
marks) in the vicinity of the project, to map the topography and utilities marked on the ground and to
tie and reset any centerline monuments along the route.
Data Processing: Reduce field measurements and constrain them to both the horizontal and vertical
control monuments.
Produce topographic survey map: Produce a final map on 24" x 36" sheets at an appropriate scale to
show necessary detail.
Prepare permits: Prepare permits for the temporary removal or destruction of any centerline
monuments along the project route pursuant to Chapter 332-120 WAC.
Prepare record of Survey and completion reports: Prepare completion reports to be filed with the
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and produce a final mylar on 18" x 24" sheets showing the
setting of any centerline monuments reset during the course of the project to be recorded with the
Clallam County Auditor pursuant to Chapter 332-120 WAC and RCW 58.09.
Deliverables will include the digital AutoCAD drawing along with a point node file in .xml and .csv
format, a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) of the surface model in an xml file format.
One final sealed and signed PDF map will also be delivered.
Per your request I have added an additional $20,000 for Directed Services to the scope for related or
unrelated survey tasks

Subject: 2026 Urban Tree Canopy and Stream Assessment Professional Services Agreement with
AKS Engineering & Forestry
Relationship to Strategic Plan: The Urban Tree Canopy & Stream Assessment to be performed by
AKS aligns with Strategic Focus Area #1 to reinforce environmental stewardship by leading change and
investing in achievable solutions aligned with the Climate Action Plan, as well as with Strategic Focus
Area #2 to maximize grant funding opportunities.
Background / Analysis: The City of Port Angeles is committed to reinforcing its environmental
stewardship through achievable solutions aligned with the Climate Action Plan, Comprehensive Plan, and
Strategic Plan. The urban forest is a critical element of both the environment and city infrastructure. An
updated Urban Tree Canopy & Stream Assessment will provide data necessary to inform and develop a
robust Urban Forestry Program and guide future management of this unique infrastructure, enhancing
community and ecosystem resilience.
The City of Port Angeles received a $109,000.00 grant from the Washington State Department of
Commerce to establish an Urban Forestry Program to manage the Urban Forest better and support
ecosystem health in our local streamways, where salmon species are threatened. This program will
Summary: The City of Port Angeles received a $109,000.00 grant from the Washington State
Department of Commerce to establish an Urban Forestry Program to manage the Urban Forest better and
support ecosystem health in our local streamways, where salmon species are threatened. This program
will include the management of trees within the City’s stream corridors to preserve and enhance forest
hydrology and ancillary benefits such as urban tree canopy cover and tree retention. City Council
approved grant acceptance at the February 3, 2026, Council meeting. As a result, a request for
qualifications was then solicited between March 27 and April 12, 2026. The City’s Urban Forestry Tiger
Team reviewed and selected AKS Engineering and Forestry as the preferred candidate for this work.
Strategic Plan: This agreement and scope of work directly align with Strategic Focus Area #1 –
Community Resilience and Strategic Focus Area #2 – Citywide Resource Optimization.
Funding: Grant Agreement 26-63117-005 with the Washington Department of Commerce covers project
expenses in the amount of $33,195.00.
Recommendation: 1) Authorize the City Manager to approve the agreement with AKS Engineering &
Forestry for Professional Services to perform an Urban Tree Canopy & Stream Assessment in an amount
not to exceed $33,195.00, including tax, and 2) authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute
all agreement documents, to administer the agreement, and make modifications if necessary.

include the management of trees within the City’s stream corridors to preserve and enhance forest
hydrology and ancillary benefits such as urban tree canopy cover and tree retention. City Council
approved grant acceptance at the February 3, 2026, Council meeting.
An essential deliverable within the scope of work for the grant is hiring a consultant to conduct an
updated Urban Tree Canopy & Stream Assessment. The last Urban Tree Canopy Assessment was
conducted in 2011, and an Urban Stream Assessment has never been conducted within city limits. The
inclusion of stream assessments allows for a more holistic evaluation of habitat conditions and their
correlation with canopy cover in stream corridors within the city.
On March 27, 2026, staff solicited a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from qualified firms to perform the
Urban Tree Canopy & Stream Assessments. The RFQ closed on April 12, 2026. A total of six qualified
firms submitted Statements of Qualifications for review. The internal City Tree Team, comprising
members from the Community and Economic Development Department, Parks & Recreation Department,
and Public Works & Utilities Department, reviewed and scored the firms against a set of criteria.
The most qualified candidate, based on a combined average score, was AKS Engineering & Forestry.
General feedback from the City Tree Team regarding the candidate included excellent examples of
relevant and similar work experience, including a combination of approaches and scale, a holistic
approach to the assessments and recommendations were provided, a clear path to project approach, and
readiness to work with the City on the goals and objectives outlined in the RFQ, the firm plans to have all
deliverables submitted to the City by September 30, 2026.
Funding Overview: The funds for the Urban Tree Canopy & Stream Assessment will be covered under
the grant agreement with the Department of Commerce (Grant Number 26-63117-005) for the City of
Port Angeles Urban Forestry Program.

RE: REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS — PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES FOR
URBAN TREE CANOPY & STREAM ASSESSMENT
Dear Courtney and Members of the Selection Committee:
AKS Engineering & Forestry, LLC (AKS) is excited about the opportunity to introduce some of our in-house expertise and resources
to the City of Port Angeles (City) as a partner in the successful delivery of the Urban Tree Canopy and Stream Assessment project.
Our team knows from first-hand project experience that this initial planning effort is a critical step toward advancing the City's
salmon recovery goals and establishing a strong foundation for a sustainable Urban Forestry Program. Our multidisciplinary, in-house
resources will provide science-based solutions and a collaborative approach to integrate advanced geospatial analysis with practical
stormwater management and ecological restoration experience to deliver practical results to the Port Angeles community.
AKS has assembled a complete team of in-house resources with the following key strengths to ensure an approach consistent with
City priorities and efficient project delivery:
»Dedicated Project Team. The project will be led by Heather Dee, Geographic Information System (GIS) Manager. She will serve
as Project Manager and the City’s primary point of contact. Heather brings ten years of specialized GIS expertise in remote
sensing and natural resource management and more than six years of consulting experience working collaboratively with all of
AKS' technical disciplines. She is supported by a team of geospatial data scientists and water resource specialists with applicable
project experience in geospatial analysis, remote sensing, and environmental assessment.
»Integrated Multidisciplinary Expertise. The geospatial data scientists at AKS work in close coordination with our in-house water
resource engineers, certified arborists, land use planners, and natural resource specialists to provide context-rich and accurate
analyses and practical implementation insight. This coordination ensures the City receives not only accurate data, but guidance
grounded in real-world application across disciplines.
»Canopy Analysis Connected to Stream Health Outcomes. AKS' integrated approach moves beyond standard canopy and
stream mapping by directly connecting tree canopy data to stormwater performance and ecological function. The result is a
holistic, data-driven framework that supports the City's vision of advancing salmon recovery while building a resilient Urban
Forestry Program.
I will provide quality assurance through each phase of the project as the Principal-in-Charge (PIC) and Contract Manager here in the
Kirkland office. My role includes ensuring strong communication and collaboration to effectively deliver work that consistently meets
or exceeds the City’s expectations. With leadership rooted in the Puget Sound region and supported by AKS’ broader technical
resources, our team is committed to delivering responsive service, practical solutions, and high quality results that support the City’s
long term environmental and community goals.

AKS is a locally owned multidisciplinary consulting firm that has
been serving the Pacific Northwest since 1996. With more than 525
professionals across 13 offices throughout the West Coast, AKS
provides comprehensive consulting services including geographic
information systems (GIS), natural resources consulting, consulting
arborist and urban forestry services, forestry and forest engineering,
water resources, landscape architecture, land use planning,
construction support, civil engineering, land surveying (including
aerial and hydrographic), and water rights consulting. This integrated
approach allows our teams to guide public agency clients seamlessly
from feasibility and land use through data collection, analysis, and
implementation.
MUNICIPAL EXPERIENCE
AKS has built a strong reputation for delivering municipal projects
throughout Washington and Oregon. We understand the unique
requirements of public agencies, from regulatory compliance to
transparent communication and community-focused outcomes.
AKS currently serves more than 70 municipal clients in the Pacific
Northwest, many with relationships spanning decades. AKS' Kirkland,
Washington office will serve as the local homebase for the City's UTC
and Stream Assessment project, and 12 additional offices will provide
the depth of resources needed to deliver responsive service.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY ADVANTAGE
AKS is distinguished from firms that specialize solely in remote
sensing or GIS analysis by our depth and breadth of in-house
disciplines available to support this assessment. As detailed
in Section 3, our approach integrates stormwater engineering,
arboriculture, water resources, and land use planning perspectives
into every phase, from classification methodology through report
recommendations. This multidisciplinary foundation is especially
relevant to the City's need to assess stream corridor conditions
alongside its urban tree canopy, ensuring that riparian health,
stormwater function, and canopy coverage are evaluated as
interconnected systems rather than in isolation. With AKS, the
City receives a single team with shared institutional and regional
knowledge and consistent communication, not a collection of
subconsultants assembled for a single pursuit.
GIS CAPABILITIES
AKS' GIS team has multilayered experience translating complex
spatial data into actionable information for municipal clients, spanning
advanced geospatial analysis, aerial photography and satellite
imagery interpretation, database management, and custom field
application development. The team maintains current licenses for the
full Esri ArcGIS suite, including ArcGIS Pro with extension bundles,
ArcGIS Online, and specialized imagery analysis tools.

1. WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY (WSU) TREE INVENTORY | VANCOUVER, WA
AKS conducted a comprehensive tree inventory of the WSU Vancouver campus
(351 acres), deploying an in-house ISA Certified Arborist and Natural Resource
Management certified GIS field crew to collect tree health, size, species, and other
attribute data across developed and naturalized campus areas. AKS' GIS specialists
created a custom Esri Field Maps form compatible with WSU's existing data model
and trained arborists to capture accurate spatial data using Trimble GPS units. The
GIS team reviewed all data for spatial and tabular accuracy before preparing and
transferring it to the WSU data model. The result was a queryable GIS-based asset
management tool rather than a static report. AKS' efficient execution during data
setup and capture allowed WSU to begin its next project several months early at
no additional cost to the client.
KEY PERSONNEL: Heather Dee, Bill Hines
RELEVANCIES: Tree inventory and species-level identification using ArcGIS tools; arborist and GIS field integration; geodatabase delivery
within established data model; direct applicability to canopy ground-truthing and field verification
2. CITY OF CAMAS BOULDER CREEK & JONES CREEK WATERSHEDS | CAMAS, WA
Since 2012, AKS has collaborated with the City of Camas to develop and execute
a 40-year Forest Management Plan to preserve and safeguard the City's Jones
Creek and Boulder Creek watersheds. Project goals include protecting water
resources, maintaining water quality, enhancing forest health, and generating
regular income through sustainable wood product sales. AKS GIS staff and forest
engineers partnered to develop a vegetation management Esri Field Maps
application to document and map noxious weeds and invasive species throughout
the watershed. When the Nakia Creek Fire affected approximately 800 acres of
the watershed in October 2022, the project shifted to document the presence
and condition of fish passages and stream habitats, referred to as Nakia Creek
remediations, while continuing to support broader watershed management
efforts. AKS seamlessly integrated 500 acres of post-fire salvage sales into the
ongoing effort, adapting the Field Maps application into a multifunctional field tool
for recording harvest boundaries, stream health, post-fire wildlife presence, forest
road degradation, and approximate inventory for salvage logging sales. Since
the fire remediation work, AKS has supported reforestation of the salvaged area,
with harvests planned over the next century to support forest health. This project
demonstrates long-term watershed-scale management, GIS adaptation under
changing conditions, and integration of forestry and natural resource disciplines
with geospatial technology.
KEY PERSONNEL: Heather Dee, Bill Hines, Tyler Joki
RELEVANCIES: Watershed-scale forest and stream health management; vegetation mapping and monitoring using ArcGIS tools; long-term
natural resource stewardship; integration of forestry, water resources, and GIS disciplines

AKS' GIS team played a major role in the development of Forest Management
Plans for Oregon Military Department's (OMD's) Camp Rilea and Najaf facilities to
support and inform statewide Integrated Natural Resource Management Plans,
providing comprehensive roadmaps for natural resource stewardship while
maintaining military training readiness and operational flexibility. The GIS team led
extensive desktop geospatial preparation prior to fieldwork by evaluating current
and historical data layers, consolidating multiple legacy datasets into standardized
geodatabases, and developing custom Esri Field Maps applications and collection
forms aligned with agency data standards. This desktop analysis combined with
fieldwork established a consistent spatial framework for identifying forest health
concerns, road maintenance needs, wildfire risk areas, habitat limitations, and
potential operational constraints across nearly 3,000 acres of military land.
Field efforts focused on validating desktop geospatial analysis and collecting
targeted observations to refine management prescriptions, with AKS coordinating
closely with operational staff to verify forest conditions, road infrastructure,
and habitat constrains using Field Maps to capture accurate location data and
ecological observations. The project culminated in a comprehensive technical
and ecological reporting effort that documented geospatial methodology used,
summarized the results of various analyses, and provided recommendations for
physical improvements to military lands. We delivered standardized datasets,
actionable management plans, and long-term implementation guidance that
integrates GIS, resource management, and operational land use requirements.
KEY PERSONNEL: Bill Hines, Heather Dee, Tyler Joki
RELEVANCIES: Desktop geospatial analysis and legacy dataset consolidation into standardized geodatabases; custom Esri Field Maps
application development for structured field data collection; field validation of desktop analysis to refine management prescriptions;
natural resource and habitat assessment across a large study area; standardized dataset delivery conforming to agency data standards;
comprehensive technical reporting integrating geospatial methodology with actionable recommendations
4. LOS ANGELES COUNTY URBAN AGRICULTURE SUITABILITY ANALYSIS | LOS ANGELES, CA
A GIS rule-based suitability analysis was conducted to identify vacant parcels appropriate for urban agriculture within underserved
communities across Los Angeles County. The work required processing a parcel dataset exceeding 2.4 million parcels and applying
a multi-criteria spatial evaluation framework. Approximately 25 environmental, physiographic, and socioeconomic variables
including slope, land cover, infrastructure proximity, water availability, soil conditions, income levels, census population, service
population, religious and community activity centers, and parcel characteristics were standardized and integrated into a composite
suitability index. Area-weighted disaggregation was used to adjust variables at the parcel level, enabling consistent parcel-scale
evaluation across datasets of differing resolutions. The workflow filtered the dataset to approximately 470 candidate parcels best
suited for vegetation-based land uses. Results were deployed through an ArcGIS Experience Builder web application, enabling
planners to explore parcel rankings, suitability scores, and supporting spatial data layers.
KEY PERSONNEL: Sai Vootkuru (prior to joining AKS)
RELEVANCIES: Vegetation and land suitability modeling; multi-variable rule based GIS spatial analysis; parcel-scale spatial filtering
and ranking; ArcGIS Pro modeling and web GIS deployment

5. TREE HEALTH ASSESSMENT USING REMOTE SENSING AND MACHINE
LEARNING | ANN ARBOR, MI
A remote sensing workflow was developed to assess tree canopy health conditions using multispectral satellite imagery and
machine learning techniques. Vegetation indices, including NDVI and related spectral predictors, were derived from imagery
and processed using ArcGIS Pro and Python-based analysis workflows. Feature engineering methods were applied to develop
predictor variables for vegetation condition classification. Random Forest and Gradient Boosting classifiers were trained on
spectral datasets, and class imbalance was addressed using Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) to improve
model performance. A soft voting ensemble classifier achieved approximately 80 percent accuracy in predicting canopy health
classes, demonstrating the application of machine learning methods for vegetation condition monitoring.
KEY PERSONNEL: Sai Vootkuru (prior to joining AKS)
RELEVANCIES: Remote sensing for vegetation analysis; machine learning classification of canopy condition; multispectral imagery
processing; GIS and Python-based spatial analysis workflows
Client references can be found on Page 10.
TASK 1: Establish a Baseline
WORK PLAN: AKS will obtain and compile the most recent publicly available relevant data, including the 2023 Earth Define Tree
Map Data, 2023 NAIP near-infrared imagery, and the most recent publicly available lidar data (Olympics North OPSW 2018). We
will integrate data provided by the City, including the most recent aerial imagery, parcel boundaries, zoning classifications, parks
and open space, critical areas, public/private land ownership, the 2011 Tree Canopy Assessment data, prior stream assessment
work products, and City right-of-way, to form a project dataset. The determination of Urban Tree Canopy percentage will be
determined alongside the analysis performed in Task 2. Deliverable: Data Quality Memorandum
METHODOLOGY: All datasets will be standardized to a common spatial reference, clipped to the City boundary, and organized
within a structured project geodatabase. Any gaps or quality issues identified during acquisition will be documented in a brief
Data Quality Memorandum shared with City staff before analysis begins. This early coordination step ensures the City has full
visibility into the data foundation supporting the assessment.
3. Project Approach
WORK PLAN AND METHODOLOGIES
AKS' project approach is organized around the six scope items identified in the RFQ. While maintaining the tasks outlined the RFQ, we
have reordered the tasks to as a recommendation for an efficient project workflow in accordance with our professional experience.
Each task builds sequentially on the preceding work, creating a unified analytical framework that connects tree canopy conditions to
stormwater performance, stream health, and salmon recovery outcomes.
May 19, 2026 E - 47
05 CITY OF PORT ANGELES | Urban Tree Canopy & Stream Assessment SOQ
TASK 2: Analyze Land Cover Distribution
WORK PLAN: AKS will establish a baseline UTC dataset for the City using EarthDefine’s high-resolution Tree Map dataset as the
primary source for canopy delineation. Because the RFQ calls for canopy coverage to be quantified by land use categories such
as parks and open space, critical areas, and City right-of-way, AKS understands these categories to be derived from existing
municipal GIS and tax-lot attribution rather than from a new land cover classification effort. AKS will therefore integrate the
EarthDefine canopy dataset with existing City land use and ownership datasets and perform spatial overlay analysis to quantify
canopy extent within each land use category. The resulting GIS datasets and summary statistics will establish the City’s current
canopy baseline and support subsequent analysis of planting opportunities and canopy decline. Deliverable: Classified and
Quantified Tree Canopy Coverage Data
METHODOLOGY:
Tree Canopy Baseline Dataset: The UTC baseline will be
derived from EarthDefine’s Tree Map dataset, a nationwide
tree canopy product generated from sub-meter aerial imagery
using proprietary computer vision and artificial intelligence
models. The dataset provides tree presence/absence at
approximately 60 cm spatial resolution, enabling detection of
individual trees and small canopy gaps that are not captured
in coarser national datasets such as the 30-meter National
Land Cover Database (NLCD). The dataset is updated annually
using summer leaf-on imagery, allowing changes in canopy
extent due to development, disturbance, or natural events
to be incorporated into the baseline assessment. Reported
overall accuracy for the Tree Map dataset exceeds 96 percent
nationally and more than 97 percent in urban areas, making it
suitable for detailed urban forestry analysis.
Canopy Differentiation and Validation: To ensure reliable
canopy representation within the project area, AKS will
perform additional validation and refinement of the
EarthDefine dataset using recent NAIP natural-color aerial
imagery and, where necessary, available lidar point cloud
data. NAIP imagery will be used for visual interpretation
and confirmation of canopy boundaries, while lidar-derived
height metrics will differentiate true tree canopy from
spectrally similar features such as building shadows, dark
roofing materials, and dense shrub masses by confirming
aboveground vegetation height. Spectral vegetation
indices will also support this validation process, including
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to confirm
photosynthetically active vegetation and Normalized
Difference Water Index (NDWI) to flag water bodies where
canopy misclassification may occur. These checks allow
targeted refinement of canopy edges and ensure the final
canopy layer accurately represents tree cover across the City.
GIS Integration and Data Preparation: Following validation,
the canopy dataset will be prepared for integration into the
City’s GIS environment. This includes aligning projections with
the City’s coordinate system, performing topology checks,
removing artifacts, and preparing canopy polygons suitable
for spatial analysis. The resulting canopy dataset will serve
as the foundational GIS layer for the remainder of the project,
supporting canopy assessment, stream corridor analysis, and
identification of planting opportunities.
TASK 3: Identify Planting Opportunities
WORK PLAN: AKS will identify vacant planting sites on right-of-way, public property, and private property using the land cover
classification and a suitability framework developed for this project. Planting opportunities will be classified by the maximum tree
size each site can support, based on available clearance, soil volume, and overhead obstructions in accordance with the City's on-
center spacing standards: small trees (15 to 20 feet apart), medium trees (25 to 30 feet apart), and large trees (35 to 40 feet apart).
Deliverable: Identified Locations for Suitable Plantings
METHODOLOGY:
Canopy Differentiation: Using the EarthDefine US Tree Map
and lidar point cloud data, AKS will differentiate true tree
canopy from shadows, dark roofing, and dense shrub masses
based on aboveground height. Spectral vegetation indices,
including NDVI for photosynthetic confirmation and NDWI for
water body flagging, will further refine classification where
canopy boundaries are uncertain.
Planting Suitability Analysis: AKS will compute the total
available planting surface using a GIS-based constraint
analysis, progressively subtracting existing canopy,
impervious surfaces, building setbacks, utility easements (if
available from the City), and steep slopes from the pervious
land area. Each remaining site will be classified by the
maximum tree size it can support.

06 CITY OF PORT ANGELES | Urban Tree Canopy & Stream Assessment SOQ
TASK 4: Identify Areas of Tree Decline
WORK PLAN: AKS will perform a change detection analysis by comparing the current canopy coverage layer with the 2011 Tree
Canopy Assessment data. Deliverable: Identified Areas of Canopy Decline
METHODOLOGY: AKS will align the canopy coverage layer delineated in task 2 with the 2011 assessment to ensure a valid
spatial comparison. For areas of canopy loss, AKS can go beyond identifying the general areas to understand the "why" behind
the loss with methods such as overlay the City's known development permit areas and tree removal permit records (if available
in GIS format) to categorize changes as permitted development, permitted tree removal, or potential unpermitted removal for
City follow-up. AKS can also evaluate canopy increases and losses in proximity to critical areas, including frequently flooded
zones, geologically hazardous areas, and fish/wildlife habitat conservation areas. As a simple measure to understand why
canopy gaps have occurred, AKS will overlay mapped insect infestation and tree disease data maintained by the Washington
Department of Natural Resources to identify areas where decline may be attributable to biological factors.
Habitat Improvement: AKS will evaluate planting
opportunities for their potential to strengthen ecological
connectivity, particularly along riparian corridors and between
fragmented habitat patches adjacent to the City's six urban
streams. Sites that can extend or reinforce canopy cover
near critical areas and fish/wildlife habitat conservation areas
will be highlighted to support the City's salmon recovery
objectives.
Stormwater-Informed Planting Priorities: A key differentiator
of AKS' approach is the integration of stormwater engineering
insight into the planting analysis. AKS Stream Assessment
Lead will collaborate with the GIS team to identify tree canopy
locations on city-owned or operated properties that are
specifically beneficial for stormwater management.
This analysis will consider proximity to impervious surfaces,
drainage patterns, soil infiltration capacity (where available),
and alignment with the City's operational Best Management
Practices. Rather than simply identifying open ground, this
methodology prioritizes planting sites where new canopy will
deliver measurable stormwater benefits.
Urban Heat Island Mitigation and Energy Conservation: The
planting suitability analysis will incorporate thermal benefit
criteria by evaluating proximity to large impervious surfaces
(parking areas, roadways, and building clusters) and canopy
gaps in areas with high solar exposure. Sites where new tree
canopy can provide shading to reduce surface temperatures
and lower building energy demand will be flagged as priority
planting locations.
TASK 5: Urban Stream Assessment
WORK PLAN: AKS will conduct a desktop geospatial stream assessment on the six urban streams within City limits as identified by
the City: Ennis, White, Peabody, Valley, Tumwater, and Dry Creeks. As identified in Task 1, the City will provide GIS layers important
to both the UTC assessment phase and any prior stream assessment work to establish a project baseline. This is a desktop stream
analysis that will require field verification for actionable assessment documentation. Using those data and work products (including
lidar and tree cover layers developed under Tasks 1 through 4), AKS will complete an initial Level 1 desktop assessment. Following
the desktop exercise, field verification should be conducted within the optional ground truthing task in reaches with available
public access in order to document sediment size, large wood counts, document available evidence of invasive species presence,
and verify aerial-identified fish passage barrier locations. We anticipate City staff will assist with securing necessary permissions
to access locations identified for field verification. Deliverables: Stream Health Conditions; Identified Invasive Species;
Identified Fish Passage Barriers, Declining Canopy in Proximity to City-Selected Six Urban Streams
METHODOLOGY: All compiled datasets will be standardized to a common spatial reference and organized within the project
geodatabase following the Methodology for Conducting Watershed Analysis v5.0, 2011. This effort will focus on a Level 1 resource
assessment of the urbanized sections of each creek and will not extend upstream beyond City limits. Available watershed-scale
information will be summarized within the resource assessment, but the analysis will be limited to reaches within City jurisdiction.
Continued on the next page >>
May 19, 2026 E - 49
07 CITY OF PORT ANGELES | Urban Tree Canopy & Stream Assessment SOQ
The desktop assessment will focus on four modules:
Hydrology, Riparian Function, Stream Channel, and Fish
Habitat. Within these modules, AKS will address each element
required by the RFQ:
1. Stream Health: AKS will evaluate channel conditions, and
riparian buffer integrity to characterize overall stream health
for each system through the use of available GIS data.
2. Invasive Species: Available invasive species data will be
mapped and delivered as a GIS layer to support the City's
future management planning.
3. Fish Passage Barriers: AKS will identify and document
locations of fish passage barriers, including culverts, grade
controls, and other in-stream obstructions, within the
urbanized stream reaches as available through aerial imagery
and GIS datasets. In the optional field verification task, each
barrier will be mapped, described, and assessed for its
potential impact on fish movement and habitat connectivity.
4. Declining Canopy Coverage Along Streams: AKS will
cross-reference the change detection analysis from Task
4 with the stream corridor assessment to identify areas
where canopy loss is occurring within or adjacent to riparian
zones. This integration connects the tree canopy and stream
assessment components, providing the City with targeted
information on where canopy restoration along streams can
deliver the greatest benefit for salmon habitat and stream
function.
TASK 6: Generate GIS Datasets & Assessment Reports
WORK PLAN: The project team will compile and finalize GIS datasets and technical assessment reports for both the UTC
Assessment and the Urban Stream Assessment to support the City of Port Angeles in stormwater management and salmon
habitat planning. With the completion of one assessment being relevant to the report writing of the other, these reports will be
written in conjunction with Heather Dee's oversight for a cohesive report that will support the development of the Urban Forestry
Program. Deliverable: UTC Assessment Report; Urban Stream Assessment Report; All Tree Canopy, Tree Assessment,
and Stream Assessment Datasets Used in Desktop Analyses
Optional Task Deliverable: Field Databases Including Fish Passages, Invasive Species, and Stream Obstructions with
Associated Images
METHODOLOGY: The data from both assessments will be used to develop well-documented technical reports that clearly
communicate the results of the UTC Assessment and the Urban Stream Assessment and provide actionable guidance for the
City's future Urban Forestry Department.
The UTC Report will be authored by Sai Vootkuru, and the
Urban Stream Assessment Report will be authored by Tyler
Joki, with Heather Dee and Matt Hough serving as technical
reviewers to ensure cohesive language, clarity, and actionable
recommendations across both documents. Technical
information documented during the UTC Assessment includes
canopy quantification methods, land cover classification
procedures, GIS processing steps, data sources, and accuracy
considerations provided by Sai Vootkuru. Maps and tables will
support the summarization of canopy distribution, planting
opportunities, and areas of tree decline to support stormwater
planning and urban forestry decision-making.
For the Urban Stream Assessment, the stream health
conditions evaluated through the desktop GIS analysis will
document the datasets used and how the conclusions on
stream health were determined, based on the expertise of
Tyler Joki and his team. If the optional targeted ground truthing
is conducted, all field-collected data and available image
captures will be provided to the City and incorporated into the
report to further determine stream health and habitat risk.
In addition to quality control performed during analysis,
Bill Hines, GIS Quality Manager, will conduct a final quality
assurance review upon completion to ensure technical
accuracy and consistency. All data will be delivered in the
City’s preferred coordinate system and in accordance with the
City’s metadata standards, and deliverables will be formatted
for direct integration into the City’s GIS Division workflows
to support long-term use in the Urban Forestry Program and
related planning efforts.

Project Budget
AKS is committed to delivering the full scope of work outlined
in our project approach within the City's not-to-exceed budget
of $30,000. Our base cost estimate of $29,170 reflects the
personnel hours and task structure described across Tasks 1
through 6.
AKS has also identified an Optional Ground Truthing Task,
estimated at $4,025, that would validate the desktop stream
assessment with field-verified observations along the City's six
urban streams. AKS will work with the City following selection to
determine whether this optional task aligns with the City's goals
in addition to the allocated budget.
The base budget of $29,170 assumes the following:
»The City will provide aerial imagery, existing GIS data (parcels,
zoning, parks and open spaces, critical areas, rights-of-way,
City-owned property), the 2011 Tree Canopy Assessment data,
and any prior stream assessment work products at no cost to
the consultant.
»The UTC Assessment will be conducted through geospatial
analysis using publicly available datasets (2023 Earth Define
Tree Map Data, 2023 NAIP imagery, Olympics North OPSW
2018 lidar) and City-provided data. Field inspections of
individual trees, tree height analysis, and a full tree inventory
are not included.
»The Stream Assessment will be conducted as a Level 1
desktop geospatial assessment of urbanized stream reaches

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 – Establish a baseline. CONSULTANT will obtain and compile the most recent
publicly available relevant data, including the 2023 Earth Define Tree Map Data, 2023 NAIP
near-infrared imagery, and the most recent publicly available lidar data, alongside data
provided by the CITY to determine the Urban Tree Canopy percentage. The determination of
Urban Tree Canopy percentage will be determined alongside the analysis performed in Task 2.
Deliverable: Data Quality Memorandum
Deliverable date: Early June 2026
Task 2- Analyze Land Cover Distribution. CONSULTANT will stablish a baseline UTC
dataset for the CITY using EarthDefine’s high-resolution Tree Map dataset as the primary
source for canopy delineation. CONSULTANT will integrate the EarthDefine canopy dataset
with existing City land use and ownership datasets and perform spatial overlay analysis to
quantify canopy extent within each land use category (critical areas, parks and open space,
and City right-of-way). The resulting GIS datasets and summary statistics will establish the
City’s current canopy baseline and support subsequent analysis of planting opportunities and
canopy decline.
Deliverable: Classified and Quantified Tree Canopy Coverage Data
Deliverable date: Mid-July 2026
Task 3 – Identify Planting Opportunities. CONSULTANT will identify vacant planting sites on
right-of-way, public property, and private property using the land cover classification and a
suitability framework developed for the project. Planting opportunities will be classified by the
maximum tree size each tree can support, based on available clearance, soil volume, and
overhead obstructions in accordance with the City’s on-center spacing standards: small trees
(15 – 20 feet apart), medium trees (25 – 30 feet apart), and large trees (35 – 40 feet apart).
Deliverable: Identified Locations for Suitable Plantings
Deliverable date: Mid-August 2026
May 19, 2026 E - 68
Attachment 2

Task 4 – Identify Areas of Tree Decline. CONSULTANT will perform a change detection
analysis by comparing the current canopy coverage layer with the 2011 Tree Canopy
Assessment Data.
Deliverable: Identified Areas of Canopy Decline
Deliverable date: Mid-August 2026
Task 5 – Urban Stream Assessment. CONSULTANT will conduct a desktop geospatial stream
assessment on the six urban streams within City Limits as identified by the CITY: Ennis, White,
Peabody, Valley, Tumwater, and Dry Creeks. As identified in Task 1, the City will provide GIS
layers important to both the UTC assessment phase and any prior stream assessment work to
establish a project baseline. Following the desktop assessment, field verification will be
conducted with available public access to document sediment size, large wood counts,
document available evidence of invasive species presence, and verify aerial-identified fish
passage barrier locations. The CITY will assist CONSULTANT with securing necessary
permissions to access locations identified for field verification.
Deliverables: Stream Health Conditions; Identified Invasive Species; Identified Fish Passage
Barriers; Declining Canopy in Proximity to City-Selected Six Urban Streams
Deliverable date: End of August 2026
Task 6 – Generate GIS Datasets & Assessment Reports. CONSULTANT will compile and
finalize GIS datasets and technical assessment reports for both the UTC Assessment and Urban
Stream Assessment to support the CITY in stormwater management and salmon habitat
planning, With the completion of one assessment being relevant to the report writing of the other,
these reports will be written in conjunction for a cohesive report that will support the development
of the Urban Forestry Program.
Deliverables: UTC Assessment Report; Urban Stream Assessment Report; All Tree Canopy,
Tree Assessment, and Stream Assessment Datasets used in Desktop Analyses; Field
Databases Including Fish Passages, Invasive Species, and Stream Obstructions with Images

Subject: Washington State Scenic Bikeways Program – Olympic Discovery Trail Nomination
Agency & Landowner Acknowledgment Form
Relationship to Strategic Plan:
The 2025-2026 Strategic Plan (Resolution 10-24) was approved by the City Council on October 1, 2024.
This proposal directly aligns with Strategic Focus Area #1 – Community Resilience and specifically
furthers Goal F – Improve community health and wellness or community resilience.
Background / Analysis:
The Washington State Scenic Bikeways Program was established by the State Legislature through RCW
79A.05.800 and is administered by Washington State Parks. The program designates bike routes of
exceptional scenic, historic, cultural, and recreational value with the goal of highlighting outstanding
routes and generating local economic activity in the communities they serve.
The Peninsula Trails Coalition (PTC), a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit with over 35 years of advocacy and
stewardship on the Olympic Peninsula, has nominated the Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) as the
“Olympic Discovery Scenic Bikeway.” The proposed 135-mile route follows the existing ODT from Port
Townsend to LaPush, traversing Clallam and Jefferson Counties and passing through the City of Port
Angeles. The route is nationally recognized for its outstanding scenic and recreational quality, having
been featured in National Geographic, Sunset Magazine, and The New York Times. It passes through
diverse ecosystems including Puget Sound shoreline, the Sequim Prairie, Lake Crescent in Olympic
National Park, the Olympic Rainforest (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), historic railroad corridors, and
terminates at the Pacific Ocean at LaPush. The route also passes through the lands of three Tribal Nations
Summary: The Peninsula Trails Coalition has nominated the Olympic Discovery Trail as a Washington
State Scenic Bikeway. Washington State Parks is requesting that the City acknowledge the nomination
and indicate support. Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to sign the Agency
& Landowner Acknowledgment Form on behalf of the City.
Strategic Plan: This proposal directly aligns with Strategic Focus Area #1 – Community Resilience and
specifically furthers Goal F.
Funding: No City funding is required at this time. The Agency & Landowner Acknowledgment Form is
a non-binding acknowledgment that the nomination is under consideration. Future costs associated with
sign installation and maintenance, if the route is designated, would be identified in a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) negotiated at Step 3 of the designation process.
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to execute the Washington State Parks Agency &
Landowner Acknowledgment Form in support of the Olympic Discovery Trail’s nomination as a
Washington State Scenic Bikeway.
May 19, 2026 E - 78
–Jamestown S’Klallam, Lower Elwha Klallam, and Quileute – and through the National Historic
Landmark District of Port Townsend.
Because the City of Port Angeles has jurisdiction over a portion of the proposed route, Washington State
Parks has contacted the City as an agency and landowner of record and requested that a representative
sign the Agency & Landowner Acknowledgment Form. This form is a non-binding acknowledgment that
the City is aware the route is being considered for nomination. It is not a commitment to participate in any
future Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or to obligate any City resources at this time.
The route is currently at Step 1 of a five-step designation process:
Step 1 – Route Nomination (current): Nominations scored by an evaluation committee; Agency &
Landowner Acknowledgment Forms collected. Up to 15 routes advance to Step 2.
Step 2 – Route Presentations: Proponents present routes virtually to the evaluation committee. Up to 5
routes advance.
Step 3 – Memorandum of Understanding: Washington State Parks leads preparation of a formal MOU
with all bikeway owners and relevant partners. This is the stage at which any formal City commitments
would be negotiated. Staff will return to City Council for authorization prior to executing any MOU.
Step 4 – Designation: The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission considers public
comment and formally designates the route.
Step 5 – Implementation: State Parks leads sign installation, marketing, and maintenance planning in
coordination with MOU parties.
Staff supports the nomination and recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
the Agency & Landowner Acknowledgment Form. Per RCW 79A.05.800, designation as a Scenic
Bikeway does not change the City’s liability with respect to unintentional injury sustained by a user of the
bikeway.
Funding Overview:
No City funding is required at this time. Execution of the Agency & Landowner Acknowledgment Form
is a non-binding acknowledgment only. Should the route advance to Step 3, Washington State Parks will
lead the development of a Memorandum of Understanding that would identify any future roles and cost
responsibilities for the City. Staff will return to City Council for authorization before signing any MOU.
Washington State Parks covers the cost of initial Scenic Bikeway route sign design and fabrication;
installation and maintenance costs would be addressed in the MOU.

The route passes through most of the biozones present west of the Cascades. Coast,
forest, prairie, rainshadow, rainforest, mountain, and lakeside. The route is a rural and
wilderness experience, largely devoid of urban/suburban influence, that flows seamlessly
from one ecozone to the next. The route passes through the Temperate Rainforest ecozone,
unique in Washington and recognized as a World Heritage site. The route passes through a
wide variety of cultural and historic zones as well. Port Townsend and Port Angeles display
early state history. The route passes through 3 Tribal Nations (Jamestown S’Klallam, Lower
Elwha Klallam, and Quileute) providing native american cultural perspective. The route
makes use of many different surfaces and configurations (SUP, public and private road
shoulder, asphalt, chip-seal, gravel, etc.). Despite the diversity, the majority of the route is
on non-motorized ADA compliant SUP. Grades are moderate throughout. The route follows
abandoned railgrade wherever possible, and makes use of several preexisting spectacular
historic rail bridges, trestles, and tunnels. The rural nature of the route delivers a very
”backroads” laid back vibe, which encourages travelers to slow down and soak it in. Trail
construction has always adhered to the best practices and regulations in force at the time,
but because the oldest SUP on the route is more than 30 years old, a significant part is only
8’ wide
11. Please describe the scenic value of this route.
May 19, 2026 E - 83
The Olympic Peninsula is well known for a diversity of scenic environments across a small
area. The views from the trail, both close and panoramic, are exceptional. Segments of the
route pass shoreside along Puget Sound, and the route terminates on a Pacific Ocean
beach. The route traverses the Sequim Prairie, with rural farms and dairies. The route
passes through different forest environments, commercial forest to old growth wilderness.
The route passes along the shore of Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park, a pristine
lake. The route passes through the Olympic National Forest and Olympic Rainforest, a
unique environment of big trees, mosses, and fungi. The route passes through 2 state parks
(Anderson Lake and Sequim Bay) It showcases the ecology and beauty via both trailside
vegetation and broad scenic vistas and overlooks. The scenery is suited to cyclists. Along
the SUP sections of the trail, there is an intimate vibe with the trailside vegetation providing
a screen that promotes a feeling of being enveloped in nature. Other sections provide a
wider vista, showcasing the Olympic Mountains and the sea. Sections pass through mature
forest, a narrow trail through a hall of giants. Bridges span beautiful rivers clear and clean.
A private gravel road gives a primitive feel, and passes through Marbled Murrelet nesting
zones. The rapid transition between ecozones, trail types, and vistas ensures riders will find
new enchanting scenic environments around every corner. The PTC has conducted surveys
of trail users, and the outstanding scenic values encountered are the first and most
common response. While the rural nature of the route is dominant, several towns also add
scenic charm and logistic support to users. Port Townsend offers a historical seaport, Port
Angeles offers a “Timber Town” feel, LaPush and Blyn showcase the Native American
culture. For more information, pictures, maps, and other information please go to
www.olympicdiscoverytrail.org, the PTC website.
12. Please describe the historic and cultural tourism value of this route.
This route abounds with historic and cultural features which add significant value to
the route. The route passes through the UNA of 5 tribal nations (Port Gamble S'Klallam,
Jamestown S’Klallam, Lower Elwha Klallam, Quileute, and Makah) and crosses the
res ervation lands of 3 tribes (Jamestown S’Klallam, Lower Elwha Klallam, and Quileute).
The tribes are owners, constructors, and supporters of parts the ODT, and provide trailside
interpretive information on their sections. The eastern terminus of the route is in Port
Townsend, a National Historic Landmark District that celebrates the early nautical history
of the Puget Sound region. The route largely follows the route of the “Milwaukee Road”
railroad, and many trailside interpretative signs/panels describe the role of these now gone
railroads in the development of the peninsula. The route passes across the Sequim Prairie,
an important farming and ranching area that contributed critical foodstuffs to the growing
May 19, 2026 E - 84
Seattle region. The route passes through Railroad Bridge Park, an Audubon Center and
historic bridge, and through the Dungeness Wildlife Refuge. The route passes through Port
Angeles, once one of the most important timber export ports in Washington, and a center
of logging and milling. The route follows the “Spruce Railway”, an historic WW1 army
constructed railgrade that accessed the most “strategic war material” in 1918 – Spruce
wood for airplane construction. The route runs along Lake Crescent, a playground for
Seattle well to do during the 1880’s and 90’s. Much of this history The western terminus of
the route is at LaPush, the center of the Quileute Nation, with a tribal history that stretches
back to the beginning of human occupation of the area. The route passes through the
Jamestown S’Klallam administrative campus, with abundant public art and interpretive
cultural information, and just 2 blocks from the Lower Elwha Klallam cultural center in Port
Angeles.
13. Please describe the recreational value of this route.
The ODT serves as a recreational backbone across the NOP. It offers direct connection to
several outstanding cycling routes worthy of designation as scenic bikeways on their own
(Hurricane Ridge, Sol Duc Falls) as well as hundreds of gravel and mountain bike roads and
trails. Lake, ocean, and river swimming opportunities (both organized and ad hoc) abound.
The NOP is a cycling paradise, and the ODT ties it all together. The trail is a mature scenic
cycling route already, with the typical trail amenities (be nches, tables, bathrooms,
wayfinding signage, interpretive panels, etc.) already in place. Tribal centers in Blyn, Port
Angeles, and LaPush offer extensive information on tribal history, culture and activities. The
route passes through many jurisdictions with a strong recreational component, including
the Olympic National Park, Olympic National Forest, Sequim Bay State Park, Anderson
Lake State Park, Dungeness Wildlife Refuge, and the Washington Department of Natural
Resources. Commercial services focused on the needs of trail users are common.
The trail is overseen by the PTC, which provides maps in many formats, marketing,
outreach, web presence, signage, political advocacy, and a host of other services in close
coordination with the 14 jurisdictions that own the route. On a more regional/national level,
the ODT is part of the larger PS2P (Puget Sound to the Pacific) consortium which is planning
and constructing a route connecting the ODT east to Seattle via Bainbridge Island and the
Winslow Ferry. The ODT is the westernmost segment of the coast to coast national Great
American Rail Trail sponsored by the Rails To Trails Conservancy. Tens of thousands of
cyclists currently use parts or all of the ODT every year. The trail regularly receives national
mention as a “best scenic bike ride” in publications such as National Geographic, Sunset
Magazine, and The New York Times. The ODT, and the PTC, has been growing for more than
May 19, 2026 E - 85
35 years, always with the vision of a non-motorized path from the Sound to the Pacific.
While we still have a ways to go to fully complete that vision, a vibrant, engaged group of
volunteers and cooperative engaged jurisdictions ensure the continued maintenance and
enhancement of that goal. We are retiring miles of road shoulder and replacing it with SUP
every year.

Subject: Equipment Repair – Wastewater Treatment Plant Digester Circulation Pump
Relationship to Strategic Plan: The 2025-2026 Strategic Plan (Resolution 10-24) was approved by
the City Council on October 1, 2024. This proposal directly aligns with Strategic Focus Area #4 –
Infrastructure Development, Maintenance, and Connectivity.
Background / Analysis: The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Digester Circulation pumps are
necessary for adequate biosolids treatment. Pumps of this type must be rebuilt in a shop qualified to work
on Wemco Torque Flow pumps. Earlier this year, the pump was shipped to Granich Engineering in
Seattle, WA. After inspection of the pump machinery, the City received a repair quote for $25,254.02,
including applicable taxes.
The rebuild is 60% the cost of a new pump, however a new pump is not available from the factory for a
minimum of six months. The lead time of the repair is half the lead time for receiving a new pump. Each
of the two Digesters and the Sludge Storage Tank utilize this type of pump for circulation. The WWTP’s
spare pump is currently being utilized, and the Sludge Storage Tank pump is showing signs of immanent
failure.
Rebuilding the pump will restore it to like new condition for continued reliable service moving forward. It
will replace a pump of the same make and model in the solids treatment system that is showing signs of
failure.
Funding Overview: Funding is available in the 2026 Wastewater Treatment Plant budget (403-7480-
535-4810) in the amount of $55,000 for motor and pump rebuilds.
Attachment(s): B26-00619-AQuote
Summary: Staff is seeking City Council approval to rehabilitate the Wastewater Treatment Plant
Digester #2 Circulation Pump with Granich Engineering of Seattle, WA, in the amount of $25,254.02,
including applicable taxes. The circulation pump is used to circulate digester sludge through the heat
exchanger which mixes the digester and creates the necessary heat for Class B biosolids treatment. It
recently failed and was replaced with a spare pump. Due to the specialized nature of the equipment, the
pump rebuild must be performed by a qualified Wemco pump service shop. As a qualified Wemco pump
service shop, Granich Engineering of Seattle, WA, was selected to make these repairs.
Strategic Plan: This proposal directly aligns with Strategic Focus Area #4 – Infrastructure
Development, Maintenance, and Connectivity.
Funding: Funding is available in the 2026 Wastewater Treatment Plant budget (403-7480-535-4810) in

This project extends from 10th and I Street east to 8th and A Street and provides a vital connection of
existing bike facilities on 10th Street west of I Street to bike lanes on the 8th Street Bridges. The project
elements will include conversion of 10th Street and A Street for street bicycle channelization and safety
improvements to incorporate bicycle wayfinding signs/markings, buffered and non-buffered bike lanes,
two-way protected bike lanes, traffic diverters, parking reduction, vehicle lane width reduction, median
channelization/turn restrictions, rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB), new marked crosswalk, stop
sign, reduced curb radii, median refuge island, and curb extensions/bulb-outs. To safely transition
bicyclists from 8th Street on to A Street a cutting edge Protected Intersection will be designed.
Summary: Staff is seeking City Council approval for an amendment to Professional Services Contract
PSA-2025-14 with Transpo Group USA, of Kirkland, WA for the 10th Street Bike Boulevard & 8th & A
Street Protected Intersection Project, TR0318. This project is included in the approved 2026-2031 Capital
Facilities Plan and will improve the safety for bicyclists from 10th and “I” Streets to 8th and “A” Streets.
Strategic Plan: This proposal directly aligns with Strategic Focus Area #4 – Infrastructure
Development, Maintenance, and Connectivity and specifically furthers Goal B.
Funding: The 10th Street Bike Boulevard & 8th & A Street Protected Intersection Project is identified in
the City’s approved 2026-2031 Capital Facilities Plan and Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) for
project TR0318. This project is fully funded through the Washington State Department of Transportation
Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety Program Grant in the amount $1,959,000.00 and has no local match
requirement. Funds for the proposed amendment are available from design contingency.
Recommendation: 1) Approve Amendment #1 to the Professional Services Agreement PSA-2025-14
for the 10th Street Bike Boulevard & 8th & A Street Protected Intersection Project, TR0318, with Transpo
Group USA, of Kirkland, WA, in the amount of $45,700.00 for a new not to exceed contract amount of
$245,500.00, and 2) approve and authorize the City Manager to sign all contract-related documents, to
administer the contract, and to make minor modifications as necessary.
May 19, 2026 E - 101
On July 15, 2025, Council approved the award of a Professional Services Agreement to Transpo Group
USA, of Kirkland, WA, in the not to exceed amount of $199,800.00 for design support services.
Following the initial award of the design contract in 2025, the project underwent an alternatives
evaluation and public outreach process identifying several needs that exceeded the original scope.
The following elements have been added or modified to ensure the long-term resiliency and safety of the
corridor:
• 8th and A Street Protected Intersection: The design evolved from a surface-mounted island
configuration to a full reconstruction of all curb lines. This includes new pedestrian refuge
islands, protective concrete buffers, and an upgraded illumination plan.
• 10th and C Street Intersection: In response to City feedback, six additional curb ramps and
specific flow line profiles were added to the design at this location.
• Enhanced Traffic Calming: The final design now includes site-specific details for diagonal
diverters and traffic circles to ensure they match the proposed intersection layouts.
• Expanded Alternatives Evaluation: Task 3 was expanded to include additional public outreach,
corridor-wide traffic control evaluation, and a summary report to provide transparency for future
public review.

Scope of Work
Client Name: City of Port Angeles
Project Name: 10th Street Bike Boulevard (TR 0318) – Supplement 01
Exhibit Dated: April 18, 2026 TG: 1.25100.00
Scope of Services
Transpo Group USA, Inc. (Consultant), with subconsultant, Wilson Engineering, will provide additional
engineering services to the City of Port Angeles (City) for the design of the 10th Street Bike Boulevard
project, as described in the primary contract.
Project Definition
The added and/or modified project elements include:
10th Street – Bicycle Boulevard
Elements: The following elements have been added to the project:
Four new curb ramps at C Street
Additional stormwater checks and adjustments to match expanded project area
12th Street – Bicycle Boulevard
Removed from scope following completion of 30% Alternatives phase.
8th and A Streets – Protected Intersection
Limits: 8th and A Street, approximately 150 feet in each direction.
Elements:
The intersection improvement was originally scoped as a surface-mounted island
configuration with simple upgraded ramps in existing footprints. The design has been
changed to include a full reconstruction of all curb lines, enhancing protection for active
modes and resiliency of the modifications to reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Other elements added include:
Two pedestrian pushbuttons (PPBs) with post, curb foundation, and sign assembly,
including audible information device (AID)
Two new street luminaires on new poles and foundations
Additional curb ramps
Pedestrian refuge islands, curb-separated bike paths and protective raised concrete
buffers for all four corners with a minimum width of 6 feet
Additional stormwater checks and adjustments to match expanded project area
Task 3 — Preliminary (30%) Design & Alternatives
Evaluation of alternatives, including public outreach and City feedback process, was more extensive than
originally scoped. The Consultant prepared additional alternatives for:
Corridor-wide intersection traffic control along 10th Street
Configuration of curbs, bike and ped facilities, and resiliency and construction method of
improvements at 8th and A Streets
Potential traffic calming improvements at 10th and I Street
May 19, 2026 E - 106
Page 2
Some of the evaluated alternatives, and conceptual designs, required additional level of detail and
evaluation compared to the anticipated scope.
Because of the work for the alternatives phase to design requested alternative approaches for the
corridor, a summary report of the alternatives process, assumed to be necessary to provide transparency
to the process for future public review, will require supplemental resources.
Task 4 — Final (90% & 100%) Design Plans, Specifications,
and Estimates (PS&E)
Design of curb ramps can be resource-intensive, and 8 were originally included in the project scope,
located at the 8th Street and A Street intersection. In response to design changes requested by the City
for the 10th Street and C Street intersection, the Consultant designed 6 additional curb ramps, with
accompanying plan sheet details included at the 90% and 100% levels.
The original scope of the 8th and A Street intersection did not anticipate the extent of full curb flowlines
and the extent of hardscape design included in the final alternative. The original scope anticipated a
shorter total distance of flowline and matching of existing, whereas the final design of 8th and A includes
a more extensive rebuild of the intersection. Additional design scope is required to be able to complete
the necessary detailed design for the City’s preferred alternative at 8th and A Streets.
The Consultant also carried forward the 30% design of the diagonal diverters and traffic circles for traffic
calming into the 90% and 100% design stages. The additional detailed, site-specific design required to
ensure diagonal diverters and traffic circles match the intersections proposed in the final design is more
complex than the anticipated design of the straight diverters in the original scope.
4.1 90% Submittal
At the 90% design submittal, the following additional design elements were included, outside of the
previously agreed-upon scope of work:
Curb ramp details at the intersection of 10th Street and C Street
Flow line profiles (8th and A Street) beyond the original scope
4.2 100% (Final) Submittal
At the 100% design submittal, the same additional design elements will be included as listed in the 90%
submittal above:
Illumination Plan
Curb ramp details at the intersection of 10th Street and C Street
Flow line profiles (8th and A Street) beyond the original scope

Subject: Emerald Coast Coalition Opportunity Zone 2.0 Letter of Support
Relationship to Strategic Plan: The 2025–2026 Strategic Plan identifies Environment, Budget, Equity,
and Relationships as core implementation principles through four Strategic Focus Areas. The Emerald
Coast Coalition Opportunity Zone 2.0 application supports community resilience by encouraging
coordinated economic development, business growth, redevelopment opportunities, and long-term stability
through targeted reinvestment. The application also advances citywide resource optimization by
strengthening advocacy efforts, leveraging partnerships, and improving competitiveness for future public-
private investment without committing City funds. The application further aligns with the City’s housing
goals by supporting areas identified for additional housing production, multifamily development, and
housing-related investment strategies. Finally, the application supports infrastructure development and
connectivity by focusing on areas where wastewater, access, waterfront redevelopment, and site readiness
are essential to future housing, commercial, and industrial growth.
Background / Analysis: Opportunity Zones were established through the 2017 federal tax legislation
as a private investment incentive for designated low-income census tracts. During the first cycle, Port
Angeles participated through the Emerald Coast regional framework, which helped organize local and
regional priorities around housing, workforce needs, waterfront redevelopment, maritime activity,
industrial reuse, and infrastructure readiness. The first cycle included local reinvestment activity in Port
Angeles and demonstrated the value of coordinated regional positioning across Tribal, municipal, county,
port, and economic development partners. With the revised program placing greater emphasis on rural
Summary: The attached letter confirms the City’s support for the Clallam County Economic
Development Council serving as the lead applicant for the Emerald Coast Coalition Opportunity Zone
2.0 application and for the inclusion of Port Angeles census tracts within the regional application.
Submission of the letter would not commit City funding, nor approve any specific project, nor authorize
future City action. The letter is proposed for submission before the May 28, 2026, application deadline.

Coast Coalition Opportunity Zone 2.0 application before the deadline of May 28, 2026.

investment incentives, Council authorization of the letter would support the City's continued participation
in that framework as the 2.0 cycle moves forward.
The Clallam County Economic Development Council is preparing to submit a regional Opportunity Zone
2.0 application on behalf of the Emerald Coast Coalition involving selected rural census tracts in Clallam
and Jefferson Counties. The attached letter supports the Coalition’s application and confirms City support
for including Port Angeles census tracts as part of the overall regional effort.
Within Port Angeles, the proposed designation includes Census Tracts 53009000700 and 53009000900.
Supporting documentation identifies both tracts as areas with documented community need and investment
potential. Census Tract 53009000700 includes a population of approximately 4,043, a median family
income ratio of approximately 59.6 percent, and an unemployment rate of approximately 9.09 percent.
Census Tract 53009000900 includes a population of approximately 2,970, a median family income ratio of
approximately 58 percent, and a poverty rate of approximately 15.62 percent.
The proposed tracts include areas associated with needed housing production, downtown and waterfront
revitalization, redevelopment of underused land, industrial and maritime activity, infrastructure planning,
and broader economic resilience. These priorities are already reflected in adopted City planning efforts,
housing tools, capital planning, permitting improvements, and economic development policy.
The City has previously taken several actions to support investment readiness, including housing policy
updates, multifamily housing incentives, permit-ready plans, fee-waiver tools, capital facilities planning,
wastewater capacity planning, downtown and waterfront planning, and economic development policies
focused on maritime, industrial, commercial, and mixed-use redevelopment.
City Council authorization of the letter of support allows the City to support the Emerald Coast Coalition’s
regional application while affirming Port Angeles’ direct role in the effort. Inclusion of the Port Angeles
census tracts would support local investment readiness, housing and redevelopment priorities,
infrastructure planning, and economic development objectives, while also strengthening the broader
regional application.

Re: Support for the joint, collaborative Emerald Coast Opportunity Zone Application
Dear Governor Ferguson,
On behalf of the Port Angeles City Council, I am writing to express our support for the joint
Emerald Coast Opportunity Zone application, which continues the historic collaboration among
Tribal, city, and county governments. On the Olympic Peninsula, our communities have many
potential opportunities that could become not only attractive investment opportunities, but also
catalysts for innovative economic growth in the North Olympic Peninsula.
The Emerald Coast Opportunity Zone application comprises five rural census tracts in Clallam
and Jefferson Counties. We support forwarding each of these five applications by the Clallam
County Economic Development Council (EDC) and EDC Team Jefferson (EDCTJ) in their
respective capacities as the Associated Development Organizations (ADOs). The continued
engagement, cooperation, and collective tone are built on the nationwide marketing effort that
our communities have pursued since 2018.
Our community website, www.EmeraldFunds.org, generates substantial interest from major
national investors. We have applied the lessons learned to target five census tracts ready for
investment. We intend to catalyze sustainable economic growth aligned with the Peninsula's
cultural and environmental values .
We enthusiastically support the following five census tracts to be selected as Opportunity Zones
as part of the Emerald Coast Opportunity Zone 2.0:
Rural Census Tract County Location Description
53009002400 Clallam West End of Clallam and Quileute Tribal Lands .
53009000700 Clallam Port Angeles, including shuttered paper mill site.
53009000900 Clallam Downtown Port Angeles targeted for redevelopment.
53031950603 Jefferson Port Townsend, including Boat Yard areas.
53031950702 Jefferson West End of Jefferson and Hoh Tribal Lands & Brinnon .
While the original Emerald Coast Opportunity Zone footprint included 14 census tracts, extensive
engagement with investors has enabled us to refine our proposal. The selected tracts represent

locations where there is strong alignment between targeted and defined market interest and
community priorities, ensuring that future investment supports locally driven economic outcomes.
Specifically, census tracts 53009000700 and 53009000900 are located within Port Angeles’
jurisdiction. We are proud to be leaders in eliminating barriers and establishing predictable timelines
for development projects, whether they be housing, commercial, or industrial. We are hopeful that
this effort will support the purchase of the shuttered paper mill, creating high -wage jobs our county
desperately needs. The multifamily housing projects align with the policies and incentives the city
has established, including the Multifamily Tax Exemption and no-cost permits for middle housing
and multifamily projects.
The following long-range plans, strategies, and programs align with our application for census tracts
located in the city limits:
• 2025 City of Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan.
• 2023 City of Port Angeles Climate Resiliency Plan.
• 2025 City of Port Angeles Housing Action Plan.
• 2026-2031 City of Port Angeles Capital Facilities Plan.
• Economic Development Strategy outlined in our 2025 Comprehensive Plan .
• 2022-2027 Port Angeles Waterfront District Elevate Port Angeles Strategic Plan .
• 2024 Ordinance updating a more streamlined permitting process and access.
• 2025 Ordinance providing opportunities for public submission of permit-ready plans.
• 2026-2030 North Olympic Development Council Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy.
• 2025-2030 Clallam Transit, Transit Development Plan that covers the two census tracts in the City
limits.
Our communities have struggled economically as historic industries such as fishing and forestry have
declined, and we have seen retirees choosing our area for second homes or short -term rentals.
Continuation of this investment program is critical for the communities within the Emerald Coast
Opportunity Zone to reach the near -term potential.
Sincerely,
Kate Dexter
Mayor, City of Port Angeles.

Subject: 2026 Budget Amendment #1
Relationship to Strategic Plan: Amending the budget aligns with Strategic Focus Area #2 - Citywide
Resource Optimization goal to maintain fiscal health by maintaining fund balance requirements and
maximizing available resources to sustainably balance the budget.
Background / Analysis:
The first amendment to the 2026 Budget will “clean-up” a variety of changes to City revenues and
expenditures that occurred after the adoption of the Budget in December due to information being
unavailable for entry at the time. The changes included have previously been approved by Council or are
a result of items moving from 2025 to 2026. The specific proposed changes are shown in detail on the
following pages.
Since many of the individual actions in this amendment require funding to come from reserves (money
unspent at the end of the fiscal year automatically rolls into reserves/fund balance and must then be pulled
from reserves for use in later budgets), approval of the ordinance will require a super majority of the
entire Council, or five (5) affirmative votes.
Attached is a detailed list of proposed budget changes and the budget amendment ordinance which
includes an “Exhibit A” listing a comparision of total revenues and expenditures by fund for the 2026
Adopted Budget and proposed 2026 Amendment #1 to easily show changes in revenue, expenses, and
fund balance in each fund.
Summary: The 2026 Budget is being amended for the first time to adjust a variety of funds to reflect
changes in revenues and expenditures that have occurred during the first few months of 2026, as well as
to carry budget allocations from 2025 into 2026 for grants and programs. This is the second reading of
the ordinance. Since the first reading there have not been any changes to the Budget amendment.
As this budget amendment includes new revenues as well as an authorization to use funds from reserves,
the ordinance must be approved by a super-majority of the entire Council, or at least five (5) affirmative
votes.
Strategic Plan: The budget amendment generally aligns with Strategic Focus Area #2 – Citywide
Resource Optimization goal to maintain fiscal health.
Funding: Please see the detailed summary attached to this memo.
Recommendation: Adopt the ordinance for the first amendment to the 2026 Budget.

Jonathan Boehme, City Engineer
Ben Braudrick, Planning Supervisor
Angel Torres, Long Range & Special Projects Administrator
Subject: Municipal Code Amendments to portions of Titles 11, 14, and 18 of the Port Angeles
Municipal Code - Fire, Life Safety Inspections, Certificate of Occupancy, and
Administrative Procedure Updates (MCA 26-0044).
Relationship to Strategic Plan: The 2025–2026 Strategic Plan identifies Strategic Focus Area #2 –
Citywide Resource Optimization; Goal D, directing the City to promote policies that create efficient
practices, improve administrative clarity, and support transparent and predictable service delivery. The
proposed amendments support this objective by clarifying existing Municipal Code procedures,
improving public-facing readability, aligning code placement with departmental review authority,
enhancing transparency regarding Certificates of Occupancy and Business Occupancy Verification
procedures, and organizing provisions affecting right-of-way use, annual inspections, and occupancy
compliance.
Background / Analysis: The City is undertaking a multi-phased Municipal Code Update intended
to improve clarity, organization, consistency, and long-term administration of the Port Angeles Municipal
Code consistent with the Vision 2045 Comprehensive Plan, prior City Council direction, and the adopted
2026–2028 Planning Commission Work Plan.
Summary: Municipal Code Amendments to Titles 11, 14, and 18 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code is
part of Phase 1 of the City’s multi-phased municipal code update program. MCA 26-0044 updates fire
and life safety regulations, annual inspection procedures, Certificates of Occupancy, Business Occupancy
Verification procedures, building moving regulations, and related administrative provisions. The
proposed amendments are primarily organizational, procedural, and clarifying, and are intended to
improve code usability, internal consistency, transparency, public-facing readability, and administrative
predictability. The amendments also better align review authority and code placement across departments
while codifying several longstanding City administrative practices into a single, more accessible
framework. The proposal does not rezone property, nor expand land use entitlements, it does not create
new adopted life-safety standards, or reduce existing fire and building code protections.
Strategic Plan: Strategic Focus Area #2 – Citywide Resource Optimization; Goal D
Funding: N/A
Recommendation: 1) Conduct the first reading of the ordinance, and 2) Continue this matter to the
June 2, 2026, Council Meeting.

Planning Commission Workplan
On January 28, 2026, the Planning Commission adopted the 2026–2028 Planning Commission Work
Plan, which identified Phase 1 of the Municipal Code Update as a focused update on fire and life safety,
inspections, Certificates of Occupancy, and administrative procedures, to be completed between January
and April 2026. The work plan also identified the broader multi-phase Municipal Code modernization
effort intended to improve usability, transparency, consistency, and alignment across Titles 11, 14, and 18
of the Port Angeles Municipal Code.
Consistent with that adopted work plan, staff initiated an internal code audit and interdepartmental review
process involving Community and Economic Development, Fire, Public Works and Utilities, and Legal
review staff. The Phase 1 amendment package was first introduced to the Planning Commission on
February 25, 2026, as a fire and life safety introduction focused on annual inspections, Certificates of
Occupancy, and related procedural cleanup items.
The current amendment package reflects several months of:
• Internal code audit and drafting work;
• Review of longstanding administrative practices;
• Interdepartmental coordination;
• Public outreach and stakeholder engagement; and
• Refinement of code language intended to improve readability, consistency, and procedural clarity.
Phase 1 Municipal Code Update
Phase 1 focuses on fire and life safety regulations, annual inspection procedures, Certificates of
Occupancy, Business Occupancy Verification procedures, administrative cleanup, and relocation of
certain code provisions to improve departmental alignment and usability. The amendments are
organizational and procedural in nature and do not establish new adopted life-safety standards. Applicable
fire and building requirements continue to be governed by the most recently adopted International
Building Code, International Fire Code, International Residential Code, State Building Code Act, and
related adopted regulations.
The proposed amendments are intended to:
• Improve code usability and public understanding;
• Reduce reliance on informal administrative interpretation;
• Improve consistency across Titles 11, 14, and 18;
• Clarify occupancy-related review procedures;
• Document existing City inspection programs and practices;
• Improve coordination between Community and Economic Development, Fire, and Public Works
and Utilities; and
• Better align code placement with the department responsible for implementation and
enforcement.
Chapter 11.10 – Building Moving on Public Roads
The proposal relocates and updates the City’s building moving regulations from Title 14 to a new Chapter
11.10 in Title 11 to better align the code with Public Works and Utilities responsibilities related to right-
of-way management, utility coordination, traffic control, and protection of public infrastructure. The
amendments modernize permit procedures, bonding and insurance requirements, operational standards,
and appeal procedures while aligning the chapter with current project permit processes.

Chapters 14.01, 14.03, 14.21, 14.23, 14.24, 14.26, 14.40, and 18.08 and Related Administrative Cleanup
Amendments
The proposal updates various Chapters and provisions in Titles 14 and 18 to improve readability,
consistency, and internal code alignment. The amendments clarify administrative procedures,
enforcement authority, vested-rights language, inspection authority, appeals, and cross-references, while
removing outdated or duplicative language. These revisions are organizational and procedural in nature
and do not modify adopted technical construction or fire code standards.
New Chapter 14.15 – Certificates of Occupancy and Business Occupancy Verification
The proposal creates a new dedicated chapter that consolidates Certificate of Occupancy and Business
Occupancy Verification procedures into a single code section. The amendments clarify when occupancy
review is required, how approvals are issued, posting requirements, enforcement procedures, and appeal
processes. The chapter also formally establishes the Business Occupancy Verification process for
ownership or tenancy changes in which a full Certificate of Occupancy may not otherwise be required,
improving transparency and consistency with longstanding City administrative practices.
New Chapter 14.30 – Annual Fire and Life Safety Inspections

existing or proposed business activity that does not require issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy under
applicable codes and regulations.
1. This verification applies only to existing approved spaces and is based on available City records and
field observations, as applicable.
2. This verification does not constitute a Certificate of Occupancy, does not establish, modify, or
approve an occupancy classification, or serve as a determination of a change of use under applicable
codes and regulations.

evaluate conditions and determine whether further action, including issuance of a new Certificate of
Occupancy, is required by applicable codes and regulations.

law; however, review is limited in scope to fire and life-safety requirements for an existing approved building
or tenant space.
C. A Certificate of Business Occupancy Verification may not be used in lieu of a Certificate of Occupancy where
one is required. Issuance of a Business Occupancy Verification does not authorize occupancy or operation
where a Certificate of Occupancy is required under applicable codes and regulations or this Chapter.

inspections conducted under PAMC 14.30; however, each serves a distinct purpose and scope of review.

1. The presence of a posted Certificate of Occupancy or Certificate of Business Occupancy Verification, as
applicable; and

the limited scope of a Certificate of Business Occupancy Verification.
C. If, during a fire inspection or interview with the applicant, the Fire Department identifies a discrepancy
between the current use or conditions and a posted Certificate of Occupancy or Certificate of Business
Occupancy Verification, or determines that a change of use or occupancy may have occurred requiring

CHAPTER 14.26 AUTOMATIC FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
Only those items noted as follows are being adjusted: deleted, new or changed. All other items remain as is.
14.26.010 Policy and Purpose.
The purpose of this Chapter is to establish requirements for automatic fire sprinkler systems to protect public
health, safety, and welfare by reducing the risk of fire-related injury, loss of life, and property damage. Automatic
fire sprinkler systems are a practical and effective means of fire protection that supports early fire control and
improves overall life safety.
This Chapter further recognizes that the use of sprinkler systems supports efficient fire department operations and
resource planning by helping to maintain manageable fire conditions and balancing fire protection responsibilities
between the public and private sectors. The installation of sprinkler systems may also provide economic benefits,
including reduced demand on public infrastructure and the potential for lower insurance costs.
The City Council finds that automatic fire sprinkler systems are now technologically and economically viable and
can help to reduce the loss of life and property due to fire and are therefore reasonably necessary in order to
protect the public health, safety and welfare. Further, automatic fire sprinkler systems can help to ensure that any
fires that occur in new residential structures are reasonably within the firefighting capabilities of the Port Angeles
Fire Department with its present manpower and equipment and will provide a rational basis for planning public
fire protection expenditures by defining the balance between traditional fire protection resources to be supplied
by the public and the private sectors while at the same time reducing the costs of traditional fire protection and its
related expenditures such as large water mains, fire apparatus turn-arounds, and fire hydrants in newly developing
areas. Finally, the installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems should help to cause a significant r eduction in
homeowner insurance premiums.
14.26.020 Sprinkler systems required.
Automatic fire sprinkler systems must be provided as required by the International Fire Code (IFC), International
Building Code (IBC), PAMC 18.08.110, Title 14 PAMC, and this Chapter. Such systems must be installed and

EXHIBIT 1: STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Division
DATE: Wednesday, April 22, 2026
RE: Municipal Code Amendment Applications 26-0044 and 26-0067
I.BACKGROUND
The City is undertaking a multi-phased municipal code update to improve clarity, organization,
and alignment with the Vision 2045 Comprehensive Plan. This effort builds on prior City
Council direction and the adopted Municipal Code Amendment work plan.
Phase 1 of this work plan was introduced to the Planning Commission on February 25, 2026,
as a fire and life safety introduction focused on updates to fire and life safety regulations,
inspections, and certificate of occupancy requirements. This report builds on that
introduction and presents the Phase 1 amendment package for public hearing. In addition to
the fire and life safety items presented in February, the current package also includes selected
Type 0 over-the-counter permitting amendments developed in response to prior City Council
direction.
The proposed amendments are organizational and procedural in nature and do not introduce
new regulatory standards. All life-safety provisions continue to reflect the most recently
adopted International Building Code and International Fire Code. Phase 1 affects Titles 11, 14,
and 18 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. The amendment package is intended to improve
code usability, internal consistency, transparency, and administrative predictability. It is not
intended to rezone property, expand land use entitlements, or reduce adopted life-safety
protections.
This phase also builds on prior City actions. In December 2025, City Council directed further
expansion of the over-the-counter permitting program and requested that an ordinance be
brought to Planning Commission for recommendation to the City Council in April 2026. The
adopted 2026-2028 Planning Commission Workplan identifies Phase 1 as the life-safety and
over-the-counter permitting update to be developed between January and April 2026.
The Phase 1 amendment package is the product of prior City direction, internal code audit
work, targeted outreach, environmental review, and formal public process. The following
timeline summarizes the major milestones supporting the development of the proposed
amendments.

• December 2, 2025. City Council considered amendments to the Master Fee Schedule and
directed further expansion of the over-the-counter permitting program, including
evaluation of additional eligible permits and transmittal of an ordinance to the Planning
Commission by April 2026.
• January 28, 2026. The Planning Commission adopts the staff-recommended 2026-2028
Planning Commission Workplan, which includes MCA 26-0044 as Phase 1 of the planned
four-phase development code update.
• February 25, 2026. Staff introduced Phase 1 to the Planning Commission as the fire and
life safety introduction, focusing on inspections, certificate of occupancy requirements,
and related procedural cleanup.
• January through March 2026. Staff conducted an internal kickoff, scope definition, code
audit, drafting, and interdepartmental refinement of the Phase 1 amendment package.
• April 22, 2026. Planning Commission Public Hearing.
Implementation identified in the Phase 1 work program includes updates to frequently asked
questions, website content, certificate of occupancy materials, public information, and
related permit routing following Council action.
III. CODIFICATION GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The Planning Commission has been asked to consider the Phase 1 amendment package as a
focused administrative and organizational update to Titles 11, 14, and 18 of the Port Angeles
Municipal Code. Staff have approached this proposal through the following goals and
objectives:
Goal 1: Administrative Clarity
Objective 1.1: Consolidate certificate of occupancy procedures into a clearly identified
chapter so requirements are easier to locate, interpret, and administer.
Objective 1.2: Document annual fire and life safety inspection procedures in a single code
location rather than relying on scattered references or implied administrative practice.
Objective 1.3: Improve public-facing readability of occupancy, inspection, and related review
requirements.
Goal 2: Procedural Consistency
Objective 2.1: Align review authority, appeal language, and procedural references across
related code chapters.
Objective 2.2: Remove outdated, duplicative, or conflicting procedures that create uncertainty
for staff, applicants, residents, and businesses.
Objective 2.3: Improve coordination across Community and Economic Development, Fire, and

VII. PUBLIC COMMENT
Public Comment:
See Exhibit 4, Public Comment Memo
City of Port Angeles Departmental Comments:
Comments received from the City of Port Angeles Departments have been incorporated into
this report’s findings and conditions.
VIII. PROPOSED MUNICIPAL CODE UPDATES
Title 11 – Streets, Sidewalks, and Public Places
The proposal relocates building moving provisions from former Chapter 14.32 to a new
Chapter 11.10 so that code placement better reflects Public Works and Utilities'
responsibilities for right-of-way use, traffic impacts, utility coordination, and the protection of
public infrastructure.
Title 14 – Buildings and Construction
The proposal creates new Chapter 14.15 for certificate of occupancy procedures and new
Chapter 14.30 for annual fire and life safety inspections. The proposal also revises portions of
Chapters 14.01, 14.21, 14.23, 14.24, and 14.26 to remove outdated language, correct cross-
references, and improve consistency with adopted building and fire code provisions.
New Chapter 14.15 clarifies when a certificate of occupancy is required, how it is issued,
posting requirements, and related review or appeal procedures. Practical triggers identified in
the record include new construction, major tenant improvements, changes of use, and
occupancy of existing commercial space when prior occupancy is unknown. It also
distinguishes a Business Occupancy Verification program for businesses changing ownership.
May 19, 2026 G - 49
Exhibit 1: MCA 26-0044 and 26-0067 Staff Report
Wednesday, April 22, 2026 | Page 5 of 9
New Chapter 14.30 documents the City’s existing annual fire and life safety inspection
program in a dedicated chapter. The chapter applies to all businesses and commercial
occupancies, vacant commercial and industrial buildings, and multifamily residential
occupancies of three or more units, including common areas.
The inspection program addresses recurring compliance issues, including means of egress,
alarm and sprinkler readiness, hazardous materials storage, correction timelines, and
reinspection procedures. This codifies an existing program in a more transparent and
accessible format rather than creating a new life-safety program from scratch.
Related revisions to Chapters 14.01, 14.21, 14.23, 14.24, and 14.26 remove outdated appeals
language, correct cross-references, and improve consistency. Within Chapter 14.21, Fire
Department Access Roads provisions adopt International Fire Code Section 503 and IFC
Appendix D as the baseline standard for access requirements, while maintaining the Fire
Marshal’s authority to evaluate site-specific feasibility and allow reasonable modifications
based on topography, terrain, and location, provided operational fire department objectives
are met. These revisions do not change adopted fire flow requirements, sprinkler thresholds,
or other underlying technical life-safety standards.
Title 18 – Growth Management
The proposal revises PAMC 18.02.050 to expand eligible Type 0 over-the-counter permit
pathways for selected low complexity permits across multiple departments. Although these
revisions were not part of the February 25 fire, life and safety introduction memo, they were
added to the Phase 1 package in response to prior City Council direction regarding expansion
of over-the-counter permitting. The proposal also revises PAMC 18.02.185 to clarify review
treatment for revisions submitted after a final permit decision. It revises related provisions in
Chapter 18.08 to improve consistency between fire suppression and urban service language.
IX. FINDINGS OF FACT AND STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan
All municipal code amendments must be consistent with the Port Angeles Comprehensive
Plan. The following adopted goals and policies are the strongest direct policy support for the
Phase 1 amendment package.
Land Use Element:
Goal LU-7: Growth Management and Regional Cooperation
Policy LU-7.5: Assure that development review and permit processes operate in a fair, timely,
and predictable manner and update processes from time to time to incorporate best
practices, changes in law, and align with community priorities and values.
May 19, 2026 G - 50
Exhibit 1: MCA 26-0044 and 26-0067 Staff Report
Wednesday, April 22, 2026 | Page 6 of 9
Housing Element:
Goal H-3: Housing Quality. Encourage the design, construction, and maintenance of housing
to keep homes in good condition.
Policy H-3.7: Adequately and fairly enforce zoning and building codes to abate abandoned
properties and ensure rental housing is safe, livable, and well-maintained.
Transportation Element:
Goal T-3: Move people and goods safely by improving circulation and transportation facilities.
Policy T-3.2: Strengthen development regulations as necessary to preserve right-of-way along
roadways to facilitate implementation of the City’s adopted Complete Streets policy.
Capital Facilities Element:
Goal CF-1: Provide and maintain safe and financially feasible urban services and capital
facilities at or above stated levels of service to all City residents and the general public, and
ensure equitable access and outcomes for all community members.
Policy CF-1.1: Establish general level of service standards for each urban utility and service.
Such standards should be used to assess the impacts of development and ensure the
continued provision of utilities and services. These standards should prioritize equitable
service delivery and be regularly evaluated for their impact across different communities
within the city, and if a funding shortfall occurs in the CFP as a result of revenue assumptions,
the City will reassess the land use element at that time.
Staff Analysis: Collectively, these goals and policies support MCA 26-0044 and MCA 26-0067
because the proposed amendments remain focused on organization, clarity, procedural
consistency, documentation of existing practices, and correct alignment of review authority,
without creating new adopted life-safety standards or expanding land use entitlements.
The proposal supports Goal LU-7 and Policy LU-7.5 by periodically reviewing and updating
code provisions, correcting procedures, and improving fair, timely, and predictable
administration of permit and inspection requirements.
Goal H-3 and Policy H-3.7 are supported through the clarification of inspection and occupancy
procedures affecting the safe and lawful use of buildings, including commercial occupancies,
vacant commercial and industrial buildings, and multifamily residential occupancies of three
or more units.
May 19, 2026 G - 51

Wednesday, April 22, 2026 | Page 7 of 9
With respect to the moving amendments, the proposal supports Goal T-3 and Policy T-3.2 by
aligning review authority with right-of-way protection, service delivery responsibilities, and
preservation of roadway function and public infrastructure. The proposal also supports Goal
CF-1 and Policy CF-1.1 by improving administrative clarity and consistency in provisions tied
to urban services, review procedures, and life-safety implementation. These revisions
maintain adopted fire and life-safety standards while improving the organization and
administration of the code.
Housing Action Plan
The 2025 Housing Action Plan identifies local barriers to housing production and reuse,
including aging housing stock, infrastructure constraints, limited workforce capacity, and
regulatory barriers that can increase cost and uncertainty for applicants and property owners.
Staff Analysis: The Housing Action Plan is not the primary policy basis for Phase 1. However,
Phase 1 modestly supports the City’s broader housing implementation framework by
improving clarity, reducing administrative friction for selected low-complexity permits, and
making code requirements affecting occupancy and building reuse easier to locate and
understand.
Climate Resiliency Plan
The primary policy basis for this amendment package is the Comprehensive Plan, City Work
Plan, SEPA record, and the draft amendment text itself.
Staff Analysis: The 2022 Climate Resiliency Plan includes a focus on community resilience
and wellbeing. MCA 26-0044 and 26-0067 are consistent with that direction by improving
administrative clarity, supporting more predictable permit and inspection processes, and
helping the City better respond to community needs through clearer implementation of
existing requirements. The amendments also support continued investment in commercial
areas, building maintenance and reuse, and long-term infrastructure stewardship. These
updates can also support building improvements that increase efficiency and reduce building-
related greenhouse gas emissions.
Port Angeles Municipal Code
The following PAMC provisions are seen as relevant to this application. Planning Staff provides
comments under each provision as a demonstration of the analysis conducted during the
application review process and the findings of fact relevant to the application.
Title 18
Per PAMC Section 18.02.050, the City Council has the authority to review and is authorized
and directed to hear and decide on Type V permit applications.
May 19, 2026 G - 52
Exhibit 1: MCA 26-0044 and 26-0067 Staff Report
Wednesday, April 22, 2026 | Page 8 of 9
Staff Analysis: A Municipal Code Amendment requires a public hearing before the Planning
Commission. The recommendation to the City Council is based on the draft plan,
comprehensive public comments, the Port Angeles Municipal Code, and information available
during the public engagement process. Such a decision may be appealed to the Superior
Court, provided that the appeal is filed within 21 days of the City Council's decision, as per
Chapter 36.70C RCW. If an appeal is not filed within the applicable period, the City Council's
decision is final. A timely appeal of any City Council decision will stay all further proceedings
by the Department of Community and Economic Development, specifically related to the
periodic update under appeal.
Environmental Review
A Determination of Non-Significance under SEPA 26-0075 was issued on March 27, 2026. The
DNS was issued under WAC 197-11-340(2), with a 14-day comment period ending on April 14,
2026.
The SEPA record characterizes the proposal as legislative, citywide, and administrative. The
checklist states that the amendment package itself does not propose site-specific
construction, new housing units, demolition, or land-use changes. Future development
authorized under the amended code will still be required to comply with all applicable City,
State, and Federal requirements.
The checklist further states that the proposal is not likely to increase discharges to water,
emissions to air, production or release of hazardous substances, or noise; is not likely to
affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life; is not likely to deplete energy or natural resources;
and is not anticipated to conflict with local, state, or federal environmental protection laws.
Consistency
In preparation and submission of a Municipal Code Amendment, City Staff has demonstrated
that all standards will be met in accordance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the Port
Angeles Municipal Code.
IX. CONCLUSIONS
Having reviewed and considered the draft amendment package, the SEPA record, public
comment, and all other materials presented in the legislative record, City staff recommends
that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to City Council for MCA
26-0044 and MCA 26-0067 based on the following conclusions:
1. Analysis and findings of fact from staff are based on the draft code language, municipal
code, adopted plans, public comment, and other materials available during the review
period. Collectively, the information contained in this staff report and its Attachments
forms the record of review for this legislative amendment package.

Wednesday, April 22, 2026 | Page 9 of 9
2. MCA 26-0044 and MCA 26-0067 are citywide legislative actions affecting Titles 11, 14, and
18 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code.
3. The proposed amendments are organizational and procedural in nature and do not create
new adopted life-safety standards. Applicable fire and building code requirements
continue to be governed by the most recently adopted International Building Code and
International Fire Code.
4. The proposal improves administrative clarity by consolidating certificate of occupancy
procedures, documenting annual fire and life safety inspection practices, correcting cross-
references, clarifying related procedures, and better aligning review authority and code
placement across related chapters.
5. The proposal is consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan policies addressing
periodic code review, fair and predictable permit processing, code enforcement affecting
safe occupancy, right-of-way protection, and coordinated provision of urban services.
6. The proposal also includes selected Type 0 over-the-counter permit pathways added
pursuant to prior City Council direction, while preserving administrative safeguards where
project scope, site conditions, or other regulations warrant additional review.
7. The amendment package is legislative and citywide and does not authorize site-specific
disturbance or development independent of future permit review under applicable City
regulations.
X. RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of
Municipal Code Amendment Nos. 26-0044 and 26-0067 to the City Council. This
recommendation is based on staff review of the draft code language, Port Angeles Municipal
Code, adopted plans, the SEPA record, and submitted public comments.

CHAPTER 14.26 AUTOMATIC FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
14.26.010 Policy and Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to establish requirements for automatic fire sprinkler systems to protect public
health, safety, and welfare by reducing the risk of fire-related injury, loss of life, and property damage. Automatic
fire sprinkler systems are a practical and effective means of fire protection that supports early fire control and
improves overall life safety.
This chapter further recognizes that the use of sprinkler systems supports efficient fire department operations and
resource planning by helping to maintain manageable fire conditions and balancing fire protection responsibilities
between the public and private sectors. The installation of sprinkler systems may also provide economic benefits,
including reduced demand on public infrastructure and the potential for lower insurance costs.
The City Council finds that automatic fire sprinkler systems are now technologically and economically viable and
can help to reduce the loss of life and property due to fire and are therefore reasonably necessary in order to
protect the public health, safety and welfare. Further, automatic fire sprinkler systems can help to ensure that any
fires that occur in new residential structures are reasonably within the firefighting capabilities of the Port Angeles
Fire Department with its present manpower and equipment and will provide a rational basis for planning public
fire protection expenditures by defining the balance between traditional fire protection resources to be supplied
by the public and the private sectors while at the same time reducing the costs of traditional fire protection and its
related expenditures such as large water mains, fire apparatus turn-arounds, and fire hydrants in newly developing
areas. Finally, the installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems should help to cause a significant reduction in
homeowner insurance premiums.
14.26.020 Sprinkler systems required.
Automatic fire sprinkler systems shall be installed and maintained in all multi-family residential construction;
provided that this requirement shall become effective January 1, 1987, prior to which date installation of

EXHIBIT 4: MCA 26-0044 AND 26-0067 PUBLIC COMMENT MEMO
DATE: Friday, April 17, 2026
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Division
RE: MCA Phase 1 26-0044 & 26-0067 Public Comment
INTRODUCTION
This memo and its attachment serve as the official response to public comment from City staff and includes
all noticing procedures, documentation, individual comments as responses.
PUBLIC NOTICING PROCEDURES
Public notice for Land Use Applications MCA 26-0044 and 26-0067 was opened on Wednesday, April 1, 2026,
closed on April 14, 2026, and was provided in the following manner:
• In the Peninsula Daily News: April 1, 2026.
• Onsite: No on-site signage was posted due to the amendment serving as a citywide action.
• Mailed: Mail notices were not distributed due to the amendment serving as a citywide action.
• At the City Hall Noticing Board: April 1, 2026
• On the City’s Website: April 1, 2026
PUBLIC COMMENT
No written public comment was received during the comment period. During public and partner outreach,
questions and comments generally focused on how the proposed amendments would apply in practice,
including change of occupancy, new occupants in existing spaces, inspection triggers, vacant buildings,
hazardous occupancies, subtenants, and reuse of existing commercial spaces. Comments also raised
questions about public education, adoption timing, and what property owners, tenants, and business
purchasers should verify early, including occupancy classification and Certificate of Occupancy status.
STAFF RESPONSE
The questions raised during public and partner outreach were helpful in identifying where additional
clarification is needed. In general, the comments reflect practical concerns about when review is required,
what may trigger additional compliance, and how the updates will apply in common real-world situations.
The intent of the Phase 1 amendments is to provide clearer local procedures and more consistent
administration of existing fire, life safety, and Certificate of Occupancy -related requirements. Questions
regarding vacant buildings, subtenants, hazardous occupancies, changes after occupancy, and similar
situations depend on the specific facts of a site or use, but the amendments are intended to provide a clearer
framework for determining when review is required.

value of clear public-facing information so property owners, tenants, contractors, and business purchasers
can better understand when requirements may apply and what should be verified early in the process.

Subject: Municipal Code Amendment to Title 18 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code – Type
0/Over-the-Counter Permitting Program Expansion (MCA 26-0067).
Relationship to Strategic Plan: The 2025–2026 Strategic Plan identifies Strategic Focus Area #2 –
Citywide Resource Optimization, Goal D, directing the City to promote efficient practices, improve
administrative clarity, and increase predictability in City processes. The proposed amendments support
this direction by expanding eligible over-the-counter permitting pathways for selected low-complexity
permits, improving predictability and transparency for applicants, reducing unnecessary administrative
processing for qualifying permit types, maintaining administrative safeguards where additional review is
warranted, and clarifying review timelines and procedures for permit revisions submitted after final
permit decisions.
Background / Analysis: The City is undertaking a multi-phased municipal code update program
intended to improve administrative clarity, transparency, consistency, and predictability across the Port
Angeles Municipal Code consistent with the Vision 2045 Comprehensive Plan, City Council direction,
and the adopted 2026–2028 Planning Commission Work Plan. Additionally, on January 28, 2026, the
Planning Commission adopted the 2026–2028 Planning Commission Work Plan, which identified Phase 1
of the municipal code update program as including both fire and life safety updates and expansion of
over-the-counter permitting pathways.
Summary: Municipal code amendments to Title 18 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code are proposed
related to the expansion of the City’s Type 0/Over-the-Counter Permitting Program. MCA 26-0067
expands eligibility for selected low-complexity permits to be processed over the counter while
maintaining existing review safeguards where project scope, site conditions, occupancy changes, or
overlapping regulations require additional staff review. The proposal also clarifies review treatment for
revisions submitted after final permit decisions.
Strategic Plan: Strategic Focus Area #2 – Citywide Resource Optimization; Goal D

Recommendation: 1) Conduct the first reading of the ordinance, and 2) Continue this matter to the
June 2, 2026, Council Meeting.

Program Creation
The City’s Type 0/Over-the-Counter Permitting Program was originally established as part of the City’s
broader permit streamlining and faster permitting updates adopted under Chapter 18.02 PAMC and
consistent with the implementation goals of SB 5290. The program was intended to improve the
efficiency of permit processing for low complexity permits and administrative approvals while allowing
staff resources to remain focused on more complex permit applications that require higher levels of
review and coordination. Since its implementation, the program has been widely successful in improving
customer service, reducing permit processing timelines, increasing permit predictability, and supporting
more efficient administrative operations.
Type 0 Expansion Process
On December 2, 2025, during the adoption of the City’s 2026 Master Fee Schedule updates, the City
Council directed staff to further evaluate and expand the Type 0/Over-the-Counter Permitting Program
and provide the proposal to the Planning Commission for recommendation by April 2026.
Consistent with that direction, staff conducted:
• An internal permit and code audit;
• Interdepartmental review and coordination;
• Evaluation of existing permit processing workflows;
• Review of permit types appropriate for over-the-counter processing; and
• Analysis of administrative safeguards necessary to maintain public health, safety, and code
compliance.
The proposal focuses on low-complexity permits and activities that are generally administrative,
ministerial, or operational in nature and that can reasonably be processed over the counter without
extended review timelines in most circumstances.
PAMC 18.02.050 – Type 0/Over-the-Counter Permit Program Expansion
The proposal expands eligible Type 0 permit categories to include selected low complexity permits and
approvals, including:
• New owner Business Occupancy Verification reviews;
• Non-construction stormwater discharge permits for pressure washing;
• Non-food regulatory mobile and itinerant vendor permits;
• Marine fueling operations;
• Repair and replace critical area exemptions;
• Repair and replace shoreline exemptions;
• Right-of-way A-frame sign permits;
• SEPA exemption letter requests;
• Side sewer repair permits;
• Waste disposal permits; and
• Welding and cutting hot works permits.
The amendments preserve administrative safeguards by clarifying that permits involving changes in
occupancy classification, changes in business operations, increased occupant loads, additional regulatory
review requirements, work in or over water, complex site conditions, or other circumstances requiring
further review may still be elevated to a higher permit review process where determined necessary by the
applicable Director.
May 19, 2026 G - 97
3
The proposal is intended to improve customer service, reduce unnecessary review timelines for qualifying
permits, and allow staff to remain focused on more complex permit applications that require higher levels
of analysis and coordination.
PAMC 18.02.185 – Revisions after issuance of final permit decision
The proposed amendments to PAMC 18.02.185 clarify the review treatment for revisions submitted after
issuance of a final permit decision. The amendment specifies that revisions submitted after final permit
approval are subject to a new review period and associated permit timelines. This clarification is intended
to improve consistency and predictability in permit administration, clarify applicant expectations, better
align permit review timelines with revised project scope and staff review requirements, and support
compliance with adopted permit processing procedures and timelines.
Procedures
The proposed amendments were reviewed through the City’s legislative amendment process. A
Determination of Non-Significance was issued for SEPA 26-0075 on March 27, 2026. Public notice for
MCA 26-0067 and associated SEPA 26-0075 was published in the Peninsula Daily News on April 1,
2026, posted on the City’s website, and posted at the City Hall notice board. The written comment period
and SEPA DNS comment period closed on April 14, 2026.
On April 22, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing for MCA 26-0067 and
voted 4-0 to recommend approval to the City Council with suggested edits.

Summary: The City’s Master Fee Schedule sets out various fees and charges collected by City
departments for the provision of City services. The consultant team from FCS, which assisted with the
original Cost of Services Analysis (COSA), also recommended that fees be adjusted on an annual basis
going forward to avoid large cost swings in future years.
City staff have reviewed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for
the past 12 months and noted an approximate 3% increase in overall costs. Accordingly, City staff have
reviewed the existing master fee schedule and are recommending adjustments in fees by the CPI
amount. Additionally, City staff have noted several other fees for inclusion or modification. Finally, the
City’s Over-the-Counter Permit Program will be expanded.
Strategic Plan: Amending the City’s Master Fee Schedule for Annual Cost Adjustments aligns with
Strategic Focus Area #2 – the Citywide Resource Optimization goal to maintain fiscal health by
maintaining fund balance requirements and maximizing available resources to sustainably balance the
2026 City Budget; and Strategic Focus Area #2, Goal B, Measure 1: Identify programs and services
where staff capacity must be enhanced to implement the Strategic Plan, this measure by ensures the City
conducts timely reviews of Over-the-Counter permits.
Funding: Amendments to the Master Fee Schedule will allow departments to more fully recover the
costs of providing services to City customers and to continue and expand the City’s Over-the-Counter
Permitting Program.
Recommendation: 1) Pass the Resolution amending the City’s Master Fee Schedule for Annual Cost
Adjustments and Other Updates; and 2) Expanding the City’s Over-the-Counter Permit Program.

Background / Analysis: The City’s Master Fee Schedule sets out various fees and charges collected
by City departments for the provision of City services.
2023 Cost of Service Analysis
On April 25, 2023, the Council endorsed six new revenue sources for implementation, including a review
of fees to offset the cost of service. With that direction from the Council, the City engaged FCS Group to
perform a holistic cost of services analysis. On October 3, 2023, Council received the report from FCS
Group indicating a minimum rate of $95.10 for City services.
On November 8, 2023, the Council approved Ordinance 3723, implementing a new citywide fee structure
with the minimum rate of $95.10. This new base rate was used to recalculate the City’s various fees and
led to the creation of a consolidated master fee schedule.
2026 Fee Review
The consultant team from FCS also recommended at the time of the adoption of Ordnance 3723 that fees
be adjusted on an annual basis going forward to avoid large cost swings in future years. The following
information was included in the November 8, 2023, Council Memo:
To address this issue, staff is recommending that upon full implementation of the fee schedule, the
Directors of Finance and Community and Economic Development will propose annual
adjustments to the fee schedule based on labor, benefit, and general cost inflation. The proposed
adjustments will be considered concurrently with the adoption of annual City budgets.
Based on the above, staff have reviewed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics for the past 12 months and noted an approximate 3% increase in overall costs. Accordingly,
City staff have reviewed the existing master fee schedule and are recommending adjustments in fees by
the CPI amount. It is important to note that this type of review was not undertaken for 2025 and as a
result, the City’s fees were not adjusted for CPI last year. The recommended adjustment for 2026 will
change the existing minimum rate of $95.10 to a new minimum rate of $98.00, effective on January 1.
These adjustments are consistent with the intent and findings of the 2023 FCS COSA. Additionally, City
staff have noted several other fees for inclusion or modification.
Expanding the Over-the-Counter Permitting Program
To further enhance customer service, several departments will evaluate the permitting timelines for all
Type I permits under their review or regulation within Table 18.02.050-2 (Permit Types – Decisions). The
departments will determine which Type I permits will be reclassified into the Type 0 “Over-The-Counter”
permitting program. This reclassification will include at a minimum, but not be limited to the following:
Public Works and Utilities Department
• Demolition Permits
• Certain Right-of-Way Use Permits
• Side Sewer Repair Permits
• Certain minor Stormwater Discharge Permits
Community and Economic Development Department
• Mobile and Itinerant Vendor Permits
Fire Department
• Welding and Cutting Inspections
May 19, 2026 G - 103
Attachment 5

• Marine Fueling Operations
Accordingly, the Departments will transmit an ordinance to the Planning Commission for
recommendation to the City Council by April 1, 2026.
Parks, Recreation and Facilities Updates
The primary focus of updating the Parks and Recreation section of the Master Fee Schedule is to ensure
that listed fees reflect current and relevant programming. As part of this review, several outdated or
unused fees were removed to enhance the clarity and usability of the schedule.
Cemetery fees for Ocean View Cemetery were comprehensively evaluated with the Finance Department
two years ago, and adjustments were made at that time to better align with actual operational costs. Those
updates accounted for the true cost of materials and services and were benchmarked against comparable
providers in the region.
For field rentals, facility use, and special event permits, fees have been modestly increased to reflect CPI
adjustments. These categories have not been updated in more than a decade, and the incremental increases
are intended to keep pace with inflation while continuing to provide affordable access to residents.
Public Works and Utilities Updates
Public Works and Utilities fee updates provide additional tiers to lower the cost of Clearing and Grading
Permits for less complex projects with limited scope, which better match the actual costs of processing
these types of permits. Stormwater review fees have been divided into two tiers to better align with the
actual costs associated with the scope of review. Right-of-way use fees have been simplified to eliminate
unnecessary fees and reduce the annual cost for using unimproved right-of-way.
Water service and hydrant work have been updated to reflect the actual construction costs of installing a
new water service, along with clarifications on which portion of the fee is eligible for a waiver. Sewer
system development charges have not been updated since 2010 and are currently at 25% of the allowable
change. The system charge is increased to bring the charge to 32% of the allowable charge. Septic waste,
which is largely generated outside the City, has been increased to account for actual processing costs. The
remaining fees have been adjusted based on the CPI adjustments.
Community and Economic Development Updates
Community and Economic Development (CED) fees were reviewed for consistency with current
regulations, cost of services, and alignment with cross-department practices. In partnership with the
Peninsula Housing Authority, amended fee waiver language is proposed to clarify the requirement for
recording a notice-to-title for housing projects sponsored by a recognized non-profit, local, state, or
federal housing provider. This update reflects stipulations often tied to grant-funded projects.
An administrative fee is proposed for fire permits to recover the cost of CED permitting staff who intake,
route, and issue fire permits. This fee is consistent with other cross-department review charges. Several
updates correct errors, modernize permit type names, and reorganize sections for clarity. Additional
changes include:
• Appeals: Fees across all departments have been standardized.
• Certificates of Occupancy: This section was separated and expanded to allow flexibility for
businesses that are changing ownership or require only a new certificate, without triggering the
full fee.
• Manufactured homes: The fees remain at the same relative rate but are reformatted to eliminate
confusion about how departmental review percentages are applied.
May 19, 2026 G - 104
Attachment 5

• Sign Permits: Requirements and associated reviews were clarified.
• Short-Term Rentals: Fees were updated to reflect current regulations requiring three-year
licenses. The one- and two-year options were temporary measures used only during the initial
rollout to establish consistent permitting sequences and manage workload.
Finance Department Updates
Updates to fees charged for services related to the connect and disconnect of utility services are
recommended to prevent other customers from subsidizing actual costs to perform these services that are
not currently being charged. Additional updates to better align utility deposits based on services provided
are also being recommended. These fees have not been updated in almost 20 years and will promote
fairness across customer classes for services provided.
Fire Department Updates
To support the implementation of updated fire safety practices and regulatory compliance, the Fire
Department proposes changes to the Master Fee Schedule that align with the 2021 International Fire Code
(IFC), applicable NFPA standards, and Washington Administrative Code (WAC) requirements. These
updates are necessary to enhance public safety, ensure consistent enforcement citywide, and enable cost
recovery for increasingly complex and resource-intensive services.
The addition of operational permit fees addresses fire and life safety risks identified in recent cases. New
fees for underground fire mains, spray booth fire protection systems, and complex fire suppression and
alarm systems ensure comprehensive plan review and inspection per code. Introducing an after-hours
inspection fee also provides flexibility for applicants while covering the cost of extended staff
availability. Collectively, these changes reinforce the City’s commitment to fire prevention, operational
efficiency, and equitable service delivery. Finally, ambulance transportation fees are adjusted to better
align with neighboring jurisdictions.
Funding: Amendments to the Master Fee Schedule will allow departments to more fully recover the
costs of providing services to City customers and to continue and expand the City’s Over-the-Counter
Permitting Program.

Subject: Street Vacation Petition Application No. STV 26-0045
Relationship to Strategic Plan: The proposed street vacation supports Citywide resource optimization
by allowing efficient use of City-owned right-of-way not needed for current or foreseeable public purposes,
while generating revenue to the City through the appraised value of the vacated area. The proposal also
supports infrastructure development, maintenance, and connectivity by retaining utility easements and city
access for ongoing stormwater infrastructure maintenance.
Background / Analysis: On February 14, 2026, the Port of Port Angeles submitted Street Vacation
Petition No. STV 26-0045 requesting vacation of City right-of-way located between Marine Drive and W.
4th Street. The application was determined complete on February 18, 2026. During review, City
engineering analysis refined the area requiring formal vacation to approximately 8,150 square feet.
Public notice was provided on March 19, 2026, and the Hearing Examiner held an open record public
hearing on April 10, 2026. The record remained open until April 13, 2026. On April 22, 2026, the Hearing
Examiner issued Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations for approval of the petition subject to
conditions.
The Hearing Examiner found that the proposed street vacation is consistent with Chapter 35.79 RCW, the
Port Angeles Municipal Code, and the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan. The Hearing Examiner further
concluded that the right-of-way is not required for current or reasonably foreseeable public use, subject to
retention of necessary easements for utilities and public services.
Summary: The Port of Port Angeles has petitioned to vacate an unimproved and undeveloped City
right-of-way located between Marine Drive and W. 4th Street, adjoining Port-owned industrial property
within Blocks 105 and 110 of the Townsite of Port Angeles (TPA). Upon further review of the original
application, City staff are recommending a reduction of the proposal provided to the Hearing Examiner
by removing all parcels in Block 110, Townsite of Port Angeles and “C” Street from vacation
consideration.
Strategic Plan: Strategic Focus Area #2 – Citywide Resource Optimization; Goal D
Funding: The proposed street vacation does not require City funding. The vacation will generate
revenue for the City based on the appraised value of the right-of-way area to be vacated.
Recommendation: 1) Conduct the first reading of the ordinance, 2) waive the second reading, and 3)
adopt the ordinance approving Street Vacation Petition No. STV 26-0045, subject to the conditions
identified in the Hearing Examiner’s Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation.
May 19, 2026 G - 106

Upon further review, staff is recommending a reduction of the proposal provided to the Hearing Examiner.
This reduction removes all parcels in Block 110, Townsite of Port Angeles and “C” Street from vacation
consideration. The updated vacation location consists of right of way only within Block 105, approximately
5,000 square feet of existing right of way. The Hearing Examiner concurs that as long as the updated street
vacation legal description does not exceed that which was authorized by their recommendation, there is no
need to amend or revisit the hearing record.
Approval of the street vacation does not authorize development. Any future development remains subject to
applicable local, state, and federal permitting and regulatory requirements. The Hearing Examiner Findings,
Conclusions, and Recommendation and staff report provide additional detail regarding the project record,
public comments, conditions of approval, easement retention, and recording requirements.
Staff recommend waiving the second reading of the ordinance in order to provide the opportunity for the
Port of Port Angeles and Brix Marine to more quickly begin the onsite demolition, site preparation, and new
construction operations during the brief annual construction window.
Funding Overview: The proposed street vacation does not require City funding. The vacation will
generate revenue for the City based on the appraised value of the right-of-way area to be vacated.

street vacation and includes the requirements for petition, pubic noticing, public hearing,
limitations, ordinance of vacation and title to vacated street or alley. These sections are within
Chapter 35.79, RCW and are listed below:
35.79.010 – Petition by owners – Fixing time for hearing.
The owners of an interest in any real estate abutting upon any street or alley who may desire to

Staff Analysis: Per PAMC 2.18.050(C), the Hearing Examiner is authorized to conduct the hearing
and provide a recommendation to the City Council. In accordance with RCW 35.79.030, staff
requests a utility easement in favor of the City for the operation and maintenance of the existing
42-inch stormwater conveyance located within the subject area.
35.79.035 – Limitations on vacations of streets abutting bodies of water – Procedure.
1. A city or town shall not vacate a street or alley if any portion of the street or alley abuts a
body of fresh or saltwater unless:
a. The vacation is sought to enable the city or town to acquire the property for port
purposes, beach or water access purposes, boat moorage or launching sites, park,
public view, recreation, or educational purposes, or other public uses;
b. The city or town, by resolution of its legislative authority, declares that the street
or alley is not presently being used as a street or alley and that the street or alley is
not suitable for any of the following purposes: Port, beach or water access, boat
moorage, launching sites, park, public view, recreation, or education; or
c. The vacation is sought to enable a city or town to implement a plan, adopted by
resolution or ordinance, that provides comparable or improved public access to the
same shoreline area to which the streets or alleys sought to be vacated abut, had
the properties included in the plan not been vacated.
Staff Analysis: The portion of right of way being petitioned for vacation is not abutting a fresh or
saltwater body.
2. Before adopting a resolution vacating a street or alley under subsection (1)(b) of this
section, the city or town shall:
a. Compile an inventory of all rights-of-way within the city or town that abut the same
body of water that is abutted by the street or alley sought to be vacated;
b. Conduct a study to determine if the street or alley to be vacated is suitable for use
by the city or town for any of the following purposes: Port, boat moorage, launching
sites, beach or water access, park, public view, recreation, or education;
c. Hold a public hearing on the proposed vacation in the manner required by this
chapter, where in addition to the normal requirements for publishing notice, notice
of the public hearing is posted conspicuously on the street or alley sought to be
vacated, which posted notice indicates that the area is public access, it is proposed
to be vacated, and that anyone objecting to the proposed vacation should attend
the public hearing or send a letter to a particular official indicating his or her
objection; and
d. Make a finding that the street or alley sought to be vacated is not suitable for any
of the purposes listed under (b) of this subsection, and that the vacation is in the
public interest.

Staff Analysis: The right of way to be vacated does not abut a body of water.
3. No vacation shall be effective until the fair market value has been paid for the street or
alley that is vacated. Moneys received from the vacation may be used by the city or town
only for acquiring additional beach or water access, acquiring additional public view sites
to a body of water, or acquiring additional moorage or launching sites.
Staff Analysis: The right of way to be vacated is not abutting a body of water.
35.79.040 – Title to vacated street or alley.
If any street or alley in any city or town is vacated by the city or town council, the property within

Title 11 – Streets and Sidewalks
PAMC 11.12.010(G)(1): Right-of-way means: A dedicated or owned right-of-way or easement of
the City within the boundaries of which may be located a street, highway, sidewalk, alley, avenue
or other structure used for pedestrian or vehicular traffic or a utility structure or a utility structure
or other related structure or feature. A right-of-way or easement is included within the definition
of "right-of-way" whether such right-of-way or easement is currently used or not.
Staff Analysis: The proposal involves City right-of-way subject to regulation under Title 11. Findings
indicate that any vacation must account for existing and future transportation functions and utility
infrastructure, including the retention of easements where necessary.

examiner, who shall report a recommendation to the legislative authority. The legislative authority
may adopt or reject the recommendation and may, by ordinance, vacate the subject right-of-way.
The ordinance may require compensation from abutting property owners and may retain
easements for the construction, repair, and maintenance of public utilities and services.
Staff Analysis: The proposal has been evaluated in accordance with Chapter 35.79 RCW. The
Hearing Examiner is authorized to conduct the hearing and provide a recommendation, and the
City Council retains final legislative authority. Conditions of approval ensure compliance with
statutory provisions related to compensation and retention of easements.
Recommendation
It is the recommendation of the City staff that the Hearing Examiner forward a recommendation
of approval to the City Council for Street Vacation Petition Application No. STV 26-0045, subject
to the conclusions and conditions outlined in Section VI of this staff report. This recommendation
is based on staff review of the application materials, Chapter 35.79 RCW, the Port Angeles
Municipal Code, the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan, and materials contained within the project
record.

forward.
The concerns regarding bluff and infrastructure stability, project scale and operations, emergency
access, environmental impacts, and the adequacy of public and administrative review are addressed
through the project’s environmental review materials and permit conditions, including ESA 25-0177
and SMA 25-0175. These conditions require setback from the toe of slope, incorporation of
geotechnical recommendations, erosion control planning, stormwater review, and mitigation
measures related to industrial operations. The STV 26-0045 record also reflects that public notice
was provided through newspaper publication, on-site posting, mailed notice to surrounding

Attachment C 26-0045 STV Written Comments
May 19, 2026 G - 140
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the proposed right of away grant, together
with the Brix Marine Project, currently under consideration by the City and Port. I respectfully
request that the following issues be carefully reviewed and addressed during the public hearing,
as well as throughout the process if the project is ultimately approved to ensure the safety of the
residents impacted by the agencies’ decisions.
1. Environmental Protection and Runoff Impacts
I have serious concerns regarding actual due diligence and complete compliance with all
environmental protection regulations, particularly as they relate to runoff and storm water
management at the project site and the adjacent footing of the impacted bluff. The slope of the
property (beginning at 1030 West Fourth and the property lines running directly North which
ultimately run into the project) and its proximity to marshlands raise significant questions about
erosion, stormwater drainage, and the potential for pollutants to enter sensitive ecosystems. A
thorough evaluation of how runoff will be controlled, treated, and mitigated is essential to ensure
that the surrounding environment is not adversely impacted.
2. Soil Stability, Deterioration, and Structural Mitigation
I also have grave concerns regarding soil stability and the risk of further deterioration as a result
of the proposed construction activities, and ultimately the heavy industrial uses proposed for the
project site. The project’s scope (i.e., the length of the proposed building, the depth of the
proposed building, the alleyway behind the building abutting the bluff footing, etc.) and the use
of drilling will most likely disrupt the existing hillside foundation, which is already known to be
prone to slides in the immediate area (including one which caused a fatality within recent
memory). It is critical that detailed geotechnical studies, soil stabilization measures, and properly
engineered retaining walls and safety measures be implemented to ensure long-term slope and
bank stability both during and after construction should the project proceed.
3. Noise, Air Quality, and Toxic Emissions
Finally, I am concerned about the potential impacts associated with the proposed boat facility,
particularly in relation to noise levels and air quality. Ongoing operations, including boat
manufacturing and painting, may generate excessive noise as well as toxic fumes from paints,
solvents, and other materials. These emissions could negatively affect the health and quality of
life of nearby residents (including this property owner which appears to be approximately less
than 300 feet away from the project’s primary point of operations). Clear mitigation measures,
monitoring protocols, and enforceable limits should be established to address these concerns.
4.Advance Notice and Reservation of Rights
To be clear, this letter provides more than ample notice related to the dangers associated with the
project, and the City and Port’s obligations to ensure the safety of its residents, including but not
Attachment C 26-0045 STV Written Comments
May 19, 2026 G - 141
limited to environmental protections, bluff erosion and destabilization, and toxic chemicals and
fumes, that should this property owners’ rights be negatively impacted in any way, we fully
anticipate exercising every available legal remedy in the future for the harm caused by the
project.
Thank you for your time and consideration of these important issues. I urge the City and Port to
ensure that all environmental, structural, and public health impacts are thoroughly evaluated
before moving forward with the project.
Sincerely,
Sandy Sinnes

To who it may concern;
The first two months of the proposed water front business were
frustrating and alarming.
A blindside unexpected bogus 'PUBLIC NOTICE" (mailed to 12
houses), started the ire. Letters requested by the notice were mailed -
none were answered, visits to the city were vague and confused, maps
were in accurate, dimension's growing larger by the day, permits are not
recognized.
There was no reference to the most critical aspect of the of the
building project, or any mention of a plan to stabilize the bluff. The most
important of which, is the danger of compromising the infrastructure of the
bluff.
The history of slides along the entire stretch of water-side, is
vulnerable to collapse and slides. Some very close to the building site itself.
That issue we and our neighbors are surely aware of the danger it is not if it
will collapse, it is when will it slide.
A43,125 sq. foot building sitting on a footprint of ground that keeps
fluctuating from 70 ft in depth from the street back to the bluff to now 150
feet back into the bluff area (it seems to grow each day) and the permits
were all submitted for the 70ft depth permit - is this how they got around
the SEPC Permit - would it have been granted had it been 150 ft back into
environmentally sensitive ground.
It is not good for a fragile work of nature. lf the vital bluff foundation is
violated or weaken the infrastructure will be in big trouble...and so will you.
And me.

Failure to address the safety of the bluff, the avoidance of EPA and
SEpA guidelines, the evasiveness, secrecy and set up with inaccurate
measurements, and some residents have been told their property wltt bF

Received: LETTER 1 PUBLIC NOTICE - comments due Feb.22,2O26:
l, Atexis Sorensen was at the PADA meeting on February 10th, 2026.1 was there for the
presentation that Brix Marine was giving to this association. I attended the meeting
because we had recentl,y received the 1st letter from the city and port about the permits for
the Shoretine Substantial. Devel.opment Permit apptication and the SEPA checktist. Hotty
Croyer, the Comptrotl.er for Brix Marine, was giving the presentation about changing the size
of the boatsthattheywere goingto be makingfrom 52to 90feet. The 43,125 sq ft (not sure
if this size has increased too)buitding needed to be [arge enough to hotd up to 70
emptoyees and outside they needed 2 very-very targe cranes that it was going to take to be
ab[e to fLip these atuminum boats as they were painting them and so they were atso going
to need a paint shop on site which wil,t be located on Marine Drive. By the time the meeting
was over the size of the footprint was "evotving" from 70 feet in depth to 150 feet in depth -
back into the bl,uff area.
RIGHT BELOW OUR HOME.
RandyJohnson, Carol.Wagner, Jim Haguewood, RogerWheeterwere some of the people I
knew that were at the meeting to hear about these new ptans. Atso, Cotleen McCture was
there, al.ong with other Port personnet. I was sitting behind a gent[eman named Marty who
said he was with the real, estate division of the Port. I gave my name and introduced mysetf
as his new neighbor and said we were atl for new business in town as we had a business
here for many years. I hoped the Port was going to do the right thing for the infrastructure of
the site because of the "historic water issues and with the stream right at "C" Street Park.
Marty said, "lf you have concerns then you should put your house up for sate white you stitl
can."
After the meeting CotLeen McCture was having a discussion with the gentteman that was at
the meeting asking a tot of questions and as I was standing right by them, she said that they
had peopLe down at the site today checking the measurements in back of the buitdings to
see if there was enough room for an emergencyvehicle be abte to go behind buitdings of
that size and the depth of the footprint on the plans.

lf the original footprint for the 46,000 sq ft buitding and excavation taking up 3 city blocks

Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation
City of Port Angeles Hearing Examiner
Port of Port Angeles Street Vacation Petition, No. STV 26-0045
Page 3 of 12
2. The City of Port Angeles (City) determined that the street vacation petition application
was complete on February 18, 2026. On March 19, 2026, the City provided notice of the
application and associated open record hearing by posting notice on Marine Drive,
adjacent to the subject property, and on the City Hall notice board; by mailing notice to
all property owners within 300 feet of the subject property; and by publishing notice in
the Peninsula Daily News, with a written comment deadline of April 2, 2026. The City’s
notice materials stated that written comments on the proposal would also be accepted up
until the scheduled April 10, 2026, open record hearing. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 2
and 3; Exhibit 2; Exhibit 4.
3. The City received the following comments from members of the public during the written
comment period:
• Sandy Sinnes raised concerns about future development that could occur in the
area of the unimproved right-of-way proposed to be vacated. Specifically, she
raised concerns that there has been insufficient analysis of the potential impacts of
such development, including impacts related to environmental protections,
stormwater runoff, soil stability, noise, air quality, and toxic emissions.
• Rob Sorensen similarly raised concerns about potential future development within
the currently unimproved right-of-way, noting that the subject area contains an
environmentally sensitive bluff vulnerable to collapse and slides.
• Alexis Sorensen also raised concerns about a Port development project, which is
not before the Hearing Examiner as part of this street vacation petition, noting
potential environmental impacts of the development, particularly with regard to
the bluff.
Exhibit 6.
4. City staff provided a response to the concerns raised in the written public comments,
which noted that the concerns would be addressed through the development project’s
“environmental review record, including shoreline, environmentally sensitive area,
geotechnical, and cultural resource review, together with future permitting requirements
related to erosion control and stormwater management.” Exhibit 3. City staff further
noted that permit conditions applicable to the development project would “require
compliance with geologic hazard regulations, setback from the toe of slope, incorporation
of geotechnical recommendations into design and construction, erosion control planning,
stormwater review, and mitigation measures related to industrial operations and
shoreline-adjacent development.” Exhibit 3.
5. In addition to the comments received during the notice of application written comment
period, several members of the public submitted written comments at, or in lieu of
attending, the open record hearing:

Page 4 of 12
• Grant Meiner raised concerns that, contrary to the City’s determination, the
proposal could not be categorically exempt from review under the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
• Lucile Meiner also raised concerns that the proposal could not be categorically
exempt from SEPA environmental review.
• Alexis Sorensen submitted notes associated with her testimony at the open record
hearing (detailed later in this decision), which echoed the concerns raised in her
initial written comments about impacts of a Port development project. She also
submitted several photographs of the bluff area within the currently unimproved
right-of-way proposed to be vacated.
• Sandy Sinnes also submitted notes associated with her testimony at the open
record hearing (detailed later in this decision), which similarly echoed the
concerns raised in her earlier written comment regarding potential impacts of a
Port development project.
Exhibit 8.
State Environmental Policy Act
6. City staff determined that the street vacation request is exempt from environmental
review under SEPA, chapter 43.21C Revised Code of Washington (RCW), in accord with
Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-800(2)(i). WAC 197-11-800(2)(i)
provides that land use decisions involving the “vacation of street or roads, converting
public right of way, and other changes in motor vehicle access” are exempt from SEPA
environmental review. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 9.
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
7. The City Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as “Industrial” and “Parks
and Open Space.” The Industrial designation “provides for a mix of industrial, service,
commercial, and limited retail uses that minimize unmitigated external visual, auditory,
and physical impacts on adjacent properties and generally do not compete with uses in
the Mixed-Use designation.” City Comprehensive Plan, page 18. The Parks and Open
Space designation “provides for public parks, creek ravines, Ediz Hook, and other open
spaces that are restricted for development.” City Comprehensive Plan, page 19. City
staff identified the following Comprehensive Plan goals and policies as relevant to the
proposal:
• Industry and Maritime. Maintain and promote active use of industrial
lands and waterfronts to maintain a diverse economy while stewarding the
community's natural resources and desired development patterns. [Goal
LU-5]
• Develop and promote a cooperative intergovernmental plan for the
comprehensive development of industrial infrastructure and amenities to
attract and support light and heavy industry. [Policy LU-5.1]

Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation
City of Port Angeles Hearing Examiner
Port of Port Angeles Street Vacation Petition, No. STV 26-0045
Page 5 of 12
• Develop infrastructure that makes sites attractive and ready to develop,
including transportation facilities and utilities at industrial parks. For
example, proactively increase the capacity of utility lines. [Policy LU-5.2]
• Diversify Port Angeles’s economy, building on and expanding beyond the
area’s traditional natural resource industries to create and maintain a
balanced local economy. [Goal ED-1]
• Support continued development of a strong maritime-related industry in
the Port Angeles Harbor. [Policy ED-1.10]
• Strengthen connections for industry and commerce while promoting
prosperity, safety, and equity. [Goal T-4]
• Improve turning movements between the roadway network and industrial
sites by prioritizing safety, accessibility, and efficiency, while considering
traffic flow and maneuvering space. [Policy T-4.1]
• Provide utility services efficiently and cost-effectively. [Goal U-1]
• Provide infrastructure to all industrial lands to encourage development.
[Policy U-1.6]
• Utilize common utility corridors for urban service facilities located in
shoreline areas. [Policy U-1.9]
• Promote the joint use of transportation rights-of-way and utility corridors
for all forms of transportation, including non-motorized. [Policy U-1.10]
Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 3 and 4.
8. City staff determined that the requested right-of-way vacation would be consistent with
the above Comprehensive Plan goals and policies, noting:
• The proposal consolidates an underutilized segment of right-of-way into
an existing industrial site, supporting continued maritime and industrial
use consistent with Goal LU-5 and Policy LU-5.1.
• The consolidation of land and infrastructure capacity supports industrial
development and site readiness consistent with Policy LU-5.2 and Policy U-1.6.
• The proposal also supports Economic Development Goal ED-1 and Policy ED-
1.10 by facilitating expansion of maritime-related industry within the Port
Angeles Harbor.
• Transportation and utility policies, including T-4.1, U-1.9, and U 1.10, are
addressed through the retention of easements and continued accommodation of
infrastructure within the proposed vacated area.
Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 4.
9. The approximately 8,150 square foot subject property currently consists of
unimproved/undeveloped right-of-way, which would be zoned “Industrial, Heavy” (IH) if
the vacation request were to be approved. Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC)

Right-of-Way Vacation Request
10. Petitions to vacate rights-of-way within the City of Port Angeles are governed by the
street vacation procedures of chapter 35.79 RCW. PAMC 16.14.010.C; PAMC
18.02.090.A.2. RCW 35.79.010 provides that owners of property abutting a street or
alley may petition the legislative authority to vacate the abutting street or alley. If the
petition is signed by the owners of more than two-thirds of the property abutting the
street or alley sought to be vacated, the legislative authority, or a committee thereof, must
hear and decide the petition. RCW 35.79.010. The Applicant is the sole owner of
property directly abutting the right-of-way sought to be vacated, in accord with this
requirement. RCW 35.79.020 provides notice requirements for the petition of a right-of-
way vacation and states that the City may not proceed on a petition if 50 percent of the
abutting property owners file written objection to the proposed vacation. The City
provided notice in accord with these requirements, as described in the above findings,
and the Applicant is the only owner of property abutting the right-of-way sought to be
vacated. RCW 35.79.035 provides limitations on the vacation of streets abutting bodies
of water, which are not applicable to the current petition application because the
unimproved right-of-way sought to be vacated does not abut any waterbody. Exhibit 1,
Staff Report, pages 8 and 9; Exhibit 2; Exhibit 7.
Testimony
11. City Associate Planner Angel Torres testified generally about the street vacation request
and how it would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the municipal code, and all
street vacation requirements of chapter 35.79 RCW. He provided a description of the
subject unimproved right-of-way, noting that it is located adjacent to the Applicant’s
existing industrial property and is proposed to be incorporated into the adjoining Port
property holdings. Mr. Torres noted that the application materials had identified a larger
15,557 square foot vacation area but that the area was refined to 8,150 square feet
following City engineering analysis of the original plat. He detailed how notice of the
application and hearing were provided in accordance with municipal code requirements
and described the regulations governing the street vacation request. Mr. Torres explained
that City staff analyzed the street vacation request and determined that the subject right-
of-way is not required for current or reasonably foreseeable public use, subject to the City
maintaining a utility easement within the vacation area for the operation and maintenance
of an existing 42-inch stormwater conveyance. He also explained that City staff had
determined that the request would be consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan by
supporting active industrial and maritime use of the waterfront, by supporting industrial
site readiness and infrastructure accommodation, and by maintaining utility and
transportation functions through the retained easements. Mr. Torres noted that the
proposal is categorically exempt from SEPA environmental review under WAC 197-11-
800(2)(i) but stressed that any future development on the site would remain subject to all
applicable permitting and regulatory requirements, including any requirement for SEPA
review. Testimony of Angel Torres.

12. Attorney Carolyn Lake, on behalf of the Port of Port Angeles, stated that the Applicant
agrees with City staff’s analysis of the proposal, as provided in the staff report and Mr.
Torres’ testimony. She requested that the record be left open to allow the Applicant to
provide a legal memorandum addressing standing to challenge a street vacation request.
The Hearing Examiner granted the Applicant’s request and ruled that the record would be
left open until April 13, 2026, to allow the Applicant to submit a legal memorandum.
Statements of Attorney Carolyn Lake; Oral Ruling of Hearing Examiner.
13. Sandy Sinnes testified that she is a lifelong resident of Port Angeles and generally
supports new businesses and developments within the city. She raised concerns,
however, that a future development project on the Applicant’s property could impact
environmentally sensitive bluffs within the requested vacation area and asserted that the
City and Applicant have not sufficiently analyzed those impacts or other impacts, such as
noise, air quality, and toxic emissions. Ms. Sinnes stressed that she wants the future
development proposal to succeed but also wants to ensure that its impacts are fully
evaluated before moving forward. Testimony of Sandy Sinnes.
14. Lucile Meiner testified that she resides above the subject property and has concerns that
construction and maintenance associated with a future development project could impact
environmentally sensitive bluffs within the vacation area. She also reiterated the
concerns raised in her written comments that the proposed street vacation could not be
categorically exempt from SEPA environmental review. Testimony of Lucile Meiner.
15. Sudie Mason testified that she has lived along the bluff for a long time and that the City
has repeatedly emphasized the fragile nature of the bluff. She urged that the City require
extensive technical reports to evaluate impacts to the bluff from any future development
on the site. Testimony of Sudie Mason.
16. Brian Jackson testified that City staff’s analysis of the street vacation request fails to
recognize the environmentally sensitive nature of the bluff. He stated that the City’s
failure to develop the right-of-way into an improved public street does not mean that the
right-of-way is not being utilized by the public, noting that it is currently being used as a
buffer zone to protect the neighborhood above the bluff. Mr. Jackson noted that,
although economic development of the Port property would be a community asset, the
unimproved right-of-way should remain a buffer zone for the hillside. Testimony of
Brian Jackson.
17. Penney Sanders testified that she owns property in the vicinity of the subject property and
that the City has considered the bluff area to be environmentally sensitive when
addressing tree trimming permits. She urged that the City conduct SEPA environmental
review of the street vacation request. Testimony of Penney Sanders.

Page 8 of 12
18. Jenny Waddell testified that she has lived along the bluff for over ten years and that she
shares the concerns expressed by other members of the public that future development
could impact the bluff. She noted that the City had previously denied her request to
install a rain garden on her property due to the sensitive nature of the bluff. Testimony of
Jenny Waddell.
19. Alexis Sorensen testified that future development could result in weakening of the toe of
the bluff. She presented photographs of the subject area, which the Hearing Examiner
admitted as additional exhibits, and she provided a detailed description of the area’s
current conditions. Ms. Sorensen asserted that additional geotechnical, stormwater, and
environmental studies need to be conducted prior to approving any development that
could impact the bluff. She noted that she supports Port development generally but that
additional studies need to be conducted to ensure stability of the environmentally
sensitive bluff. Testimony of Alexis Sorensen.
20. In response to public testimony, Mr. Torres testified that the environmental concerns
would be addressed by the future development project’s environmental review record,
including shoreline environmentally sensitive areas, geotechnical, and cultural resource
review, together with future permitting requirements related to erosion control and
stormwater management. He noted that permit conditions applicable to future
development would require: compliance with geological hazard regulations and slope
setback requirements; incorporation of geotechnical recommendations for design,
construction, and erosion control planning; and mitigation related to industrial operations
and shoreline adjacent development. Testimony of Angel Torres.
21. Attorney Lake also responded to the concerns raised in public testimony, stating that the
Port takes its environmental stewardship seriously, along with its mission to promote
economic development. She noted that the Port is confident that the future development
project, which is distinct from the street vacation request, would have a thorough review
and would address the concerns raised at the hearing. Attorney Lake also stressed that,
although the street vacation request is exempt from SEPA review, there is no assertion by
the Applicant that development of the site would be SEPA exempt. Statements of
Attorney Carolyn Lake.
Staff Recommendation
22. City staff reviewed the street vacation petition application; determined that, with
conditions, it would be consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan, the municipal code,
and the requirements of chapter 35.79 RCW; and recommends that the Hearing Examiner
forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council. Exhibit 1, Staff Report,

CONCLUSIONS
Jurisdiction
The City of Port Angeles Hearing Examiner is authorized to hold hearings and make findings,
conclusions, and recommendations to the City Council on street vacation petition applications.
RCW 35.79.030; PAMC 2.18.050.C.
Criteria for Review
Petitions to vacate rights-of-way within the City of Port Angeles are governed by the street
vacation procedures of chapter 35.79 RCW. PAMC 16.14.010.
RCW 35.79.010 provides:
The owners of an interest in any real estate abutting upon any street or alley who
may desire to vacate the street or alley, or any part thereof, may petition the
legislative authority to make vacation, giving a description of the property to be
vacated, or the legislative authority may itself initiate by resolution such vacation
procedure. The petition or resolution shall be filed with the city or town clerk,
and, if the petition is signed by the owners of more than two-thirds of the property
abutting upon the part of such street or alley sought to be vacated, legislative
authority by resolution shall fix a time when the petition will be heard and
determined by such authority or a committee thereof, which time shall not be
more than sixty days nor less than twenty days after the date of the passage of
such resolution.
RCW 35.79.020 provides:
Upon the passage of the resolution the city or town clerk shall give twenty days’
notice of the pendency of the petition by a written notice posted in three of the
most public places in the city or town and a like notice in a conspicuous place on
the street or alley sought to be vacated. The said notice shall contain a statement
that a petition has been filed to vacate the street or alley described in the notice,
2 Although not entirely clear, to the extent that the Applicant asserts that the Hearing Examiner may
summarily disregard the concerns raised by members of the public due to a lack of standing to challen ge
the street vacation request, the Hearing Examiner disagrees. The cases cited in the Applicant’s legal
memorandum address legal standing to challenge a decision granting a street vacation and not the ability of
the public to provide comments on a street vacation application as part of the public hearing process laid
out in the municipal code and under chapter 35.79 RCW. Accordingly, the Hearing Examiner determines
that he may consider any comments raised by members of the public that are relevant to the criteria for a
street vacation when forwarding a recommendation to City Council.

together with a statement of the time and place fixed for the hearing of the
petition. In all cases where the proceeding is initiated by resolution of the city or
town council or similar legislative authority without a petition having been signed
by the owners of more than two-thirds of the property abutting upon the part of
the street or alley sought to be vacated, in addition to the notice hereinabove
required, there shall be given by mail at least fifteen days before the date fixed for
the hearing, a similar notice to the owners or reputed owners of all lots, tracts or
parcels of land or other property abutting upon any street or alley or any part
thereof sought to be vacated, as shown on the rolls of the county treasurer,
directed to the address thereon shown: PROVIDED, That if fifty percent of the
abutting property owners file written objection to the proposed vacation with the
clerk, prior to the time of hearing, the city shall be prohibited from proceeding
with the resolution.
RCW 35.79.030 provides that hearings on petitions for a street vacation may be held by
the Hearing Examiner and that, following the hearing, the Hearing Examiner must “report
its recommendation on the petition to the legislative authority, which may adopt or reject
the recommendation: PROVIDED, That the hearing examiner must include in its report
to the legislative authority an explanation of the facts and reasoning underlying a
recommendation to deny a petition.”
RCW 35.79.035 places limitations on the vacation of streets abutting bodies of water.
Under RCW 35.79.040, “If any street or alley in any city or town is vacated by the city or
town council, the property within the limits so vacated shall belong to the abutting
property owners, one-half to each.” Under RCW 35.79.050, “No vested rights shall be
affected by the provisions of this chapter.”
Conclusion Based on Findings
With conditions, the proposed right-of-way vacation would be consistent with the City
Comprehensive Plan, the municipal code, and chapter 35.79 RCW. The City provided
reasonable notice and opportunity to comment on the street vacation petition application, in
accordance with requirements of the municipal code and RCW 35.79.020. The City received
several written comments from members of the public in response to its notice materials, and
several members of the public provided testimony at the open record hearing. The concerns
raised by members of the public generally related to potential impacts – particularly impacts to
an environmentally sensitive bluff area within the right-of-way sought to be vacated – that could
occur from a future Port development project. This future development project, however, is not
before the Hearing Examiner as part of the street vacation petition, and, although the concerns
about the environmentally sensitive nature of the bluff appear valid, they are not pertinent to the
criteria for approval of a right-of-way vacation and would be more appropriately addressed in
association with review of the future development project itself. Moreover, the transfer of
ownership of this currently unimproved right-of-way would not authorize any development

activity and would not insulate any environmentally sensitive areas from applicable
environmental protections or regulations.
The proposed street vacation is categorically exempt from SEPA environmental review under
WAC 197-11-800(2)(i), which specifically provides an exemption for land use decisions
involving the “vacation of street or roads, converting public right of way, and other changes in
motor vehicle access.” Some members of the public asserted that this exemption is not
applicable under WAC 197-11-800(2)(a)(i), which provides that the exemptions of WAC 197-
11-800(2) do not apply when a project “is undertaken wholly or partly on lands covered by
water.” Although a member of the public asserted that he had observed stream-like conditions
within the right-of-way area sought to be vacated, City staff indicated in its staff report that the
right-of-way is not abutting any waterbody, and the Hearing Examiner takes judicial notice that
the City’s critical areas mapping data does not identify any regulated streams at the site. Rather,
it is likely that the observed conditions relate to an existing stormwater conveyance, which will
continue to be maintained through a utility easement.
The Applicant has followed all the procedural requirements for a street vacation petition
application under chapter 35.79 RCW. As addressed above, the right-of-way sought to be
vacated does not border any waterbody and, therefore, the street vacation limitations under RCW
35.79.035 do not apply. The right-of-way sought to be vacated is unimproved/undeveloped, and
City staff has indicated that it is not required for any essential public use, such as vehicular
circulation, pedestrian access, or public infrastructure, subject to retention of the easement for
operation and maintenance of a stormwater conveyance. Granting the right-of-way vacation
request would not result in any adverse access impacts because properties in the vicinity are
adequately served by existing roadways and utilities. The requested street vacation would be
consistent with several goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, including goals and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan’s land use, economic development, transportation, and
utilities and public services elements, as detailed in the findings above. Conditions, as detailed
below, are necessary to ensure that the Applicant complies with all local, state, and federal
regulations governing a right-of-way vacation. Findings 1 – 23.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above findings and conclusions, the Hearing Examiner recommends that the City
Council APPROVE the petition to vacate approximately 8,150 square feet of
unimproved/undeveloped City right-of-way located between Marine Drive and W. 4th Street,
subject to the following conditions:
1. The petitioner shall provide a valuation of the subject property utilizing a professional
appraisal service.
2. The Applicant shall prepare and provide a quit claim deed or equivalent conveyance
instrument acceptable to the City. The petitioner is responsible for recording the deed

and all associated costs, fees, and implementation steps required to finalize the transfer of
interest.
3. Prior to final City Council action, the petitioner shall provide a final legal description and
exhibit map of the area to be vacated, subject to City review and approval.
4. Prior to filing conveyance with the Clallam County Auditor’s Office, payment to the City
of the full appraised value shall be made.
5. The petitioner shall be responsible for all recording fees, document preparation, and
implementation steps required to finalize the vacation.
6. The final ordinance and associated conveyance documents shall be recorded with the
Clallam County Auditor. The street vacation shall not take effect until such recording
has occurred.
7. Approval of the street vacation does not waive compliance with any other applicable
local, state, or federal regulations. All future development activities shall be subject to
separate permit review and approval.

Subject: Resolution Amending the City’s Master Fee Schedule for Expansion of the Type 0/Over-
the-Counter Permitting Program and Implementation of Municipal Code Amendments
MCA 26-0044 and MCA 26-0067
Relationship to Strategic Plan: The 2025–2026 Strategic Plan (Resolution 10-24) was approved by
the City Council on October 1, 2024. Amending the City’s Master Fee Schedule to incorporate new and
revised fees associated with municipal code amendments MCA 26-0044 and MCA 26-0067 aligns with
Strategic Focus Area #2 – Citywide Resource Optimization, Goal B, Measure 1, by improving
transparency, supporting efficient and predictable permit processing, and ensuring the City has the
financial resources necessary to administer permit review, inspection, and Type 0/Over-the-Counter
Permitting Program services in a consistent and sustainable manner.
Background / Analysis: The City’s Master Fee Schedule establishes fees and charges collected by
City departments for services provided, including permit review, inspections, occupancy verification, and
administrative permit processing. Currently, several permit types affected by MCA 26-0044 and MCA
26-0067 either do not exist within the fee schedule, are located in multiple sections, or do not reflect the
updated administrative framework proposed through the related code amendments.
This proposal updates the Master Fee Schedule to align with proposed amendments to Titles 11, 14, and
18 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. MCA 26-0044 modernizes and clarifies procedures related to
Certificates of Occupancy, Business Occupancy Verification reviews, fire and life safety inspections, and
building moving permits. MCA 26-0067 expands the City’s Type 0/Over-the-Counter Permitting
Summary: The City’s Master Fee Schedule establishes fees and charges collected by City
departments for the provision of City services, including permit review and administrative processing
activities. The proposed amendments add and clarify fees associated with the expanded Type 0/Over-
the-Counter Permitting Program and implementation of MCA 26-0044 and MCA 26-0067. These
updates are intended to improve transparency, consistency, administrative efficiency, and public
understanding of permit processing costs while supporting streamlined permit review procedures and
minimizing unnecessary General Fund subsidization of applicant-driven services.
Strategic Plan: Amending the City’s Master Fee Schedule aligns with Strategic Focus Area #2, Goal
B, Measure 1.
Funding: Amendments to the Master Fee Schedules will allow departments to recover the full costs of
providing services to City customers.
Recommendation: 1) Pass the Resolution amending the City’s Master Fee Schedule for expanding
the Type 0/Over-the-Counter Permitting Program and implementation of MCA 26-0044 and MCA 26-
0067.

Program for selected low-complexity permit types intended to be processed within accelerated permit
issuance timelines.
Each new or revised permit type requires a corresponding fee structure to support consistent permit
administration, customer transparency, and accurate cost recovery. The new fees utilize a cost recovery
method through the approved hourly rate and the estimated staff time to complete the task. Several permit
categories are proposed with no fee or minimal administrative fees consistent with the streamlined nature
of Type 0/Over-the-Counter Permitting Program processing. These updates improve clarity and usability
for both applicants and City staff while ensuring permit fees accurately reflect the updated permitting
framework.
Overview of Proposed Tables
Type 0/Over-the-Counter Permitting Program Fee Updates:
These tables are updated to incorporate new Type 0/Over-the-Counter Permitting Program. The
amendments include revised permit classifications associated with low-complexity land use, utility, right-
of-way, stormwater, and operational permits intended for streamlined review and issuance, generally
within one to three business days. Key components include:
• Addition of new Type 0/Over-the-Counter permit fee categories associated with MCA 26-0067;
• Streamlined permit pathways for qualifying low-complexity permits and operational approvals;
• Reduced fees for permit types involving limited administrative review or minimal technical
analysis;
• Several permit categories proposed with no fee where administrative efficiency and public
accessibility outweigh the need for direct fee recovery;
• Improved alignment between permit fees and actual staff review effort;
• Increased permit accessibility and predictability for applicants; and
• Improved transparency and consistency within the City’s Master Fee Schedule.
MCA 26-0044 and MCA 26-0067 Implementation Updates:
These tables establish new fees associated with Business Occupancy Verification Review procedures and
subsequently updates existing Certificate of Occupancy fee categories to align with the revised occupancy
review framework proposed in MCA 26-0044.
Funding: Amendments to the Master Fee Schedules will allow departments to recover the full costs of
providing services to City customers while minimizing reliance on the General Fund. This ensures that
applicant-driven processes remain self-supporting and do not place an undue burden on taxpayers.

steps.
Existing City Efforts
The City of Port Angeles is committed to working collaboratively with applicants and community
partners to support safe, well-managed transitional housing opportunities while ensuring a transparent and
timely process to review compliance with applicable health, safety, and zoning requirements.
The City has supported several non-profit organizations in developing transitional housing and safe
parking in our community. The Community and Economic Development Department assisted The
Answer for Youth (TAFY) and The First United Methodist Church of Port Angeles in permitting a tiny
home in the church’s parking lot for an unhoused mother and child. TAFY and the church obtained a
conditional use permit, a building permit, and $24,999 sales and use tax grant for the project. The tiny
home is expected to be occupied in summer 2026.
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church has proposed a pilot project to provide two safe parking spots on its
property. This program will operate on select dates in 2026, with plans to expand if successful. The
Community and Economic Development Department is processing a temporary use permit and fee waiver
for this project.
The City has played a key role in supporting 4PA’s Touchstone campus, an all-in-one operations center.
The campus features a half-acre green space with 11 transitional tiny homes, offering residents 24/7
access to renovated common facilities, including bathrooms, showers, laundry, and a kitchen. 4PA
received two fee waivers, two building permits, and two sales and use tax grants totaling $141,006 for
this project. Six tiny homes have been built, with two currently occupied. These projects provide safe
spaces for community members to transition out of homelessness and toward self-sufficiency.
The City issued a conditional use permit (CUP) for Serenity House in 2020 that allowed for the
construction of a 40 x 50 dormitory building to increase capacity, which is now operational. The CUP
also provided five tent sites and five overnight vehicle camping sites on the property.
The following outlines the current process for permitting:
1. If transitional housing is allowed within the proposed zoning district under Title 17 PAMC, the
applicant will obtain a Type I land use approval for the proposal.
May 19, 2026 I - 2
3
2. If transitional housing is allowed as a conditional use within the proposed zoning district under
Title 17 PAMC, the applicant will obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
b) Proposals involving one to four units or parking spaces will follow the administrative
Conditional Use Permit process, with a decision issued by the Community and Economic
Development Director.
b) Proposals involving five or more units or parking spaces will follow the standard
Conditional Use Permit process, with a decision issued by the City of Port Angeles
Hearing Examiner.
3. As part of the Conditional Use Permit review process, the City will work with applicants to
review proposed site plans, hygiene and sanitation facilities, cooking facilities, and emergency
access needs in coordination with the Fire and Police Departments.
4. Any proposed structures, including tiny shelters or related facilities, will comply with applicable
City requirements, including applicable building permits and inspections for any structures.
5. Each site will have an identified sponsoring organization or partner responsible for ongoing site
management, coordination, safety, and security.
Transitional housing is permitted outright in the Central Business District (CBD), Commercial Arterial
(CA), and Commercial Shopping District (CSD) zones. Transitional housing is permitted subject to
conditional use approval in the Commercial Neighborhood (CN) and Commercial Office (CO) zones.
Transitional housing is not permitted in residential zones, except as otherwise required by state law.
Pursuant to RCW 35A.21.360, transitional housing and indoor emergency housing are permitted on
property owned or controlled by a religious organization, notwithstanding local zoning regulations.
Proposal for Next Steps
The City Council can play a critical leadership role in connecting partners to enable the creation and
management of sanctioned encampments. By identifying a qualified and experienced third-party leader
for such an effort, a project can be responsibly defined and scoped, project needs identified, and necessary
resources procured. These services will be aimed at supporting the unsheltered and under-sheltered
individuals of Port Angeles. The goal of the project is to provide efficient, cost effective, and safe living
alternatives for unhoused individuals/families to provide a foundation for gaining stability and access to
services that will lead to permanent housing. Staff have prepared a Draft RFP for City Council’s review to
advertise for a party to provide such services, attached as “Exhibit A.”
Funding Overview: There are currently no funds programmed for this effort. Additional funding
needs/recommendations will be brought to Council after RFP responses have been reviewed.

SANCTIONED ENCAMPMENTS AND SAFE PARKING PROJECTS
SVC-2026-24
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The City of Port Angeles (the “City”) is seeking proposals from a qualified organization to develop and
implement a managed sheltering project, including options for sanctioned encampments and safe parking.
These services will be aimed at supporting the unsheltered and under-sheltered individuals of Port
Angeles. The goal of the project is to provide efficient, cost effective, and safe living alternatives for
unhoused individuals/families to provide a foundation for gaining stability and access to services that will
lead to permanent housing. The ideal organization shall possess the technical, operational, legal, staffing,
financial means and resources to provide the services. The contract shall be for a term of three (3) years.
BACKGROUND
Port Angeles is a municipality located in Clallam County, Washington and is the largest city in the county.
The City encompasses 14.53 square miles with a population of approximately 20,000 people. Port Angeles
is a coastal city situated between the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It is a full-service
municipality with seven departments providing essential public services, including utilities.
Port Angeles has approximately 300 homeless residents with over 50% considered unsheltered/under-
sheltered. The majority are residents facing a variety of circumstances which may have contributed to
their situation. These include addiction, trauma, economic distress, as well as a dearth of affordable and
low barrier housing in the community. The City and the region benefit from the services of multiple non-
profit organizations which provide a variety of critical services for supporting this population.
The City recognizes the complexity of the issues faced by the unhoused and the traumatic impacts not only
on those facing these challenges but the community at large. The City also recognizes the limited role a
municipality can play-with constrained resources-on addressing this challenge. The City’s goal is to catalyze
partnerships and support effective and efficient solutions to compassionately support those facing these
challenges, while also fulfilling its role of providing a safe and clean community for all and stewarding
public assets and resources.
The City believes that a Housing First Model is a path for improving the experiences of the unhoused as
well as the community at large (see Homelessness & Housing Toolkit for Cities). As such, a foundational
step for transitioning to long-term housing is providing shorter term options that provide enough stability
and safety to allow the population to get the services they need, and redirect their own attention and
personal resources from basic survival to making those positive transitions.
On April 6, 2026, City Council passed six (6) motions directing staff to further explore possible solutions to
the growing problems around encampments in and around the city. This RFP is a step in responding to
that City Council direction.

SCOPE OF WORK
The City is seeking the service of an organization to propose and describe the development and
implementation of project(s) providing sanctioned encampments (the “Campsites”) and safe parking (the
“Parking Sites”) (together, the “Site or Sites”) to begin addressing the need for managed sheltering. As
stated above, the goal of the Sites is to provide temporary stability and access to health and social services
to allow people to transition successfully to other long-term housing options.
Proposals shall include proposed specific locations, proposed budgetary needs and the resources (utilities,
safety services, management services, etc.) necessary to develop, implement, and operate the Site(s).
They should also identify impacts on key city services and resources and propose ways to mitigate those
impacts. The proposals shall also include strategies for public engagement to feed into the decision-
making process, including feedback from the unhoused population.
Means for meeting all basic resident needs shall be integrated into the proposal, regardless of the specific
mechanism proposed. This includes 24/7 bathrooms, showers, laundry, safe storage, 24/7 security, access
to food and/or meal preparation spaces, as well as access to transportation infrastructure. Unless
specifically exempted, all site(s) must meet health, safety, and land use codes and standards. The site(s)
should provide space for residents to meet privately with service providers. The proposal shall include
recommendations for ways to partition groups with specialized needs or attributes (e.g., families with
children, couples, those with pets, etc.) depending on the needs of the demographics to be served.
Specifically, each proposal must include, at a minimum:
1. A community outreach plan for developing the proposal and communicating with neighbors and the
broader community throughout the process (design, implementation, and operations);
2. Specific locations for proposed site(s) and shelter types (this can include private as well as public
properties), with a focus on minimizing negative impacts to surrounding community members and natural
resources, with basic feasibility research about each (ownership, costs, restrictions, etc.);
3. Site design and layout options;
4. Site management plan (daily operational responsibilities, including solid waste, security, noise, drug use,
access for inspections);
5. Site safety plan and emergency response plan (including severe weather);
6. Any associated legal amnesties or code waivers required;
7. Financial plan - budget for each phase of development and 3 years of operation as well as proposed
financing options (e.g., grants, bonds, etc.);
8. Communication plans (with service providers, the City, etc.); and
9. Performance Evaluation - Measures of success, desired outcomes, and data collection and reporting
frameworks.
PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
The City shall provide funding to the organization awarded this contract for three (3) years. This term is
intended to provide the selected organization with sufficient time to stabilize the project(s), start working
on trends in data and outcomes, which shall be provided to the City Council in updates that happen no less
than once a quarter. Annual renewals will be at the City’s discretion, contingent upon performance,
community feedback and availability of funding.

effective response to encampments and improved coordination between City Departments and allied
governmental and non-governmental organizations and agencies.
Background/Analysis: At the February 3, 2026, City Council meeting, camping and encampments
were discussed. A motion was passed to hold a City Council Work Session on this issue on April 7, 2026.
Summary: At the April 7, 2026, City Council meeting, the following motion was passed, “Direct staff
to report back to Council by the second meeting in May, the analysis and implementation of a public-
facing Standard Operating Procedure for encampment response that ensures any action taken by the City
is predictable and transparent”. The Port Angeles Police Department (PAPD) is responsible for City Code
Enforcement and is the central point of contact for violations . PAPD is also tasked with the mission of
community-oriented policing, and this includes working with other City Departments, other governmental
agencies and non-governmental organizations in the coordinated response to the human behavior that is
referred to as an “encampment”. The Parks Departments manages space and provides key services in areas
often impacted by encampments. Encampments sometimes also impact the operations of other City
Departments.
Strategic Plan: The Encampment Response Standard Operating Procedures align with the City of Port
Angeles Strategic Plan Focus Area #1 -“Improve Public Safety and Peace of Mind in our Community”
and Focus Area #2 – “Citywide Resource Optimization.”
Funding: No funding is requested at this time. However, if Council directs enhancements to this SOP,
additional funding needs will be brought forward for consideration at that time if applicable.
Recommendation: This memo is provided as information only; no Council action is requested at this
time.

Organizational Presentations
To prepare for the work session, a series of external organizations presented to the City Council on their
respective roles in homelessness services. During Council meetings in February and March, the City
Council received presentations from the following organizations; Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army,
4PA, the Clallam County Homelessness Task Force, Clallam County Harm Reduction Center, Peninsula
Behavioral Health, Peninsula Housing Authority, Serenity House, The Answer For Youth (TAFY), Port
Angeles Waterfront District, Olympic Peninsula Community Clinic (OPCC) / REdisCOVERY, Port
Angeles First United Methodist Church, and Olympic Community Action Programs.
April 7th Work Session
During the April 7th Work Session, City staff provided a review of the presentations and
recommendations from external organizations; the roles and partnerships that City departments have in
supporting housing and homelessness assistance programs; and posed a series of questions to City
Council to facilitate discussion on addressing camping, encampments, and homelessness.
April 7th City Council Meeting
The discussion carried over to the regular meeting on April 7, 2026, where Council took formal action.
Motions were passed to prepare a set of proposals on several topics, including the following:
“Direct staff to report back to Council by the second meeting in May, the analysis and
implementation of a public-facing Standard Operating Procedure for encampment response that
ensures any action taken by the City is predictable and transparent”.
This memo responds to that motion. Many of the encampments in the City of Port Angeles by their presence,
location and impacts involve the violation of City Code or the Revised Code of Washington. The use of
illicit drugs and other criminal behavior is sometimes associated with encampments. Many of these
locations also have unmitigated human and other waste. The following standard operating procedure lists
existing policy, and procedure, and some suggested improvements in the future relative to city encampment
response to protect human life and promote voluntary compliance with City Code.
1) Encampment Response Summary
The Police Department, Police Code Enforcement and other City Departments have limited
resources. They use discretion, the establishment of priorities, and time management to respond to
a range of circumstances. “Encampments” can be described as the (actual or perceived) presence
of persons who appear to be camping on public or private property and in a manner that have both
long and short-term impacts. Some of this behavior is illegal, some behavior interferes with
property use and the rights of others and some related behavior does none of those things and is not
illegal.
2) Standard Operating Procedure
The City’s Code Enforcement and Patrol Officers receive reports or calls for service regarding
many violations or potential violations that include reports of “illegal encampments .” These calls
come from different sources which include:
• A call from PenCom is dispatched directly to the on-duty Code Enforcement Officer (or
Patrol Officer if no Code Enforcement Officer is on duty) reporting a specific category to
include trespassing, a welfare check, a disturbance or other City ordinance violation, such
as obstruction of a right-of-way.
• Online nuisance complaints submitted through the City website and forwarded to the Code
Enforcement email distribution list.
May 19, 2026 I - 25

• Code specific calls forwarded by Patrol Officers via email, generally when a code
complaint is received, and a Code Enforcement Officer is not on shift.
• Local citizens and businesses with prior contact with Code Enforcement contacting
Officers directly.
• Code Enforcement Officers observing a violation while in the field and creating a new call
in mobile data while on scene, such as observing an abandoned vehicle and an apparent
encampment at a City Park.
• Reports from other departments in the City, such as the Parks Department reporting illegal
camping on City property.
A central and unique number or email contact for persons to report and staff to triage and refer the
specific category of “encampment” is beyond our current resources. The Port Angeles City
Council approved the 2025 Housing Action Plan Periodic Update (Comprehensive Plan
Amendment 25-0112) through Ordinance No. 3760 on December 16, 2025. Task Seven of the 2025
Housing Action Plan (HAP) Periodic Updates, recommends a new Housing Instability Project
Manager (originally titled as “Navigator”) to better support community members experiencing
housing instability, foster enhanced collaboration among partner organizations/response teams, and
pursuing innovative strategies to reduce homelessness. Additionally, community partners have
indicated that this role could facilitate better coordination among different organizations and
educate the public about the challenges faced by unhoused individuals. The Housing Instability
Project Manager would serve as the City’s primary point of contact for all homelessness-related
issues.
In the meantime, people can call the Police Department non-emergency line (360-452-4545) and
ask to speak with an Officer or ask for an Officer to respond to any specific violation or request a
public safety welfare check on a person. Persons can also complete an online nuisance complaint
through the City website.
The objective throughout these processes is voluntary compliance with State law (the RCW) and
City Code.
When a complaint is received regarding any nuisance properties or activities and there are facts to
support the complaint, a new case file is created, or the complaint is added to an existing case file
if one exists.
The Officer then begins the investigation by asking the question “is there possibly a crime or a
violation of City ordinance?” If “yes” then the case continues.
The Officer attempts to contact the reporting party and the alleged offender.
Due to the volume of calls and competition for the Officer’s time all received calls are prioritized
by severity and threat to public health or safety.
3) Specific Situations or Areas Impacted by Encampments
The steps taken depend on the type of violation occurring and the location:
• An Abandoned Vehicle in a public space that is inoperable, damaged and unregistered may
be marked for impound. An attempt to reach the registered owner is made, and after the
elapsed time the vehicle is impounded following a legal process outlined in the RCW.
May 19, 2026 I - 26

• A Sensitive or Riparian area complaint may have long-term impacts and involve the
following:
1) Receipt of the complaint, an evaluation of the damage, impacts, urgency and (if
warranted) an initiation of a PAPD Code Enforcement case or complaint;
2) Prioritizing and staffing the project;
3) Determining property ownership;
4) Contact with City Parks, Community and Economic Development, Public Works,
or a non-City property owner (if applicable);
5) Determining the desired course of action in cooperation with the property owner;
6) Contact with encampment occupants and if requested by City or property owner ,
the issuance of Trespass Notices if persons fail to leave the property;
7) Posting notice of “No Occupancy;”
8) Depending on damage and urgency facilitation or coordination of cleanup through
City Parks, Public Works, the Sheriff’s Office CREW or other non-government
organizations.
• City Parks are closed at night (11 PM to 5 AM). Officers maintain a proactive approach
using judgement and discretion. Picnicking and other activities are allowed during the day.
Tents are not prohibited. People who remain or return after a City Park closure are advised
of the regulations and provided additional warnings. Willful or repeated violations may
lead to the issuance of a Trespass Notice. Officers may make arrests for “Trespassing”
(i.e., a person returns to the property after receiving a Trespass Notice). Arrests decisions
are the use of the Officer’s judgement and discretion; they are highly fact-specific.
Voluntary compliance is the objective. Depending on damage and urgency, staff will
facilitate or coordinate cleanup through City Parks, Public Works, the Sheriff’s Office
CREW or non-government organizations.
• City Facilities are business locations and are non-recreational with few exceptions. People
using City facilities in ways not intended should anticipate prompt police contact. Police
calls for service are prioritized, staffed, and handled with judgement and discretion.
Officers and staff work to ensure that City facilities are kept clear to facilitate safe and
uninterrupted City operations. Depending on damage and urgency, staff will facilitate or
coordinate cleanup through City Parks, Public Works, the Sheriff’s Office CREW or non-
government organizations.
• The Public Works & Utilities (PWU) Department holds jurisdiction over the City’s Right
of Ways (ROWs). It is important to note that PWU has both developed and undeveloped
ROWs. Developed ROWs are defined as the typical city street with all corresponding
utilities in place. Undeveloped ROWs may be as simple as a platted ROW with no utilities
or roadway surface in place and could be fully forested. This is an important distinction, as
the response from PWU staff is largely driven by impacts to current intended and
acceptable use. People are prohibited from obstructing or otherwise interfering with the
use of a right-of-way through elements of the City Code and the RCW. People cannot be
issued a trespass notice from a right-of-way but can lawfully be directed to move or be
removed from a right-of-way. It is an arrestable offense under the RCW to be in the
roadway and obstruct traffic in a manner that creates a danger to the person or others.
Vehicles or property left on a right-of-way are subject to impound.
May 19, 2026 I - 27

• Private Property encampment complaints often come from the property owner. In some
cases, Officers must locate or otherwise contact the property owner. Depending on the
circumstances, Officers may discuss options with the private property owner. Private
property owners are responsible for their property and can take independent steps to clean
up and otherwise control their property. The property owners are responsible for clean-up.
Officers will enforce State RCW Trespass Laws when applicable and may issue Trespass
Notices when appropriate.
4) Investigations and Enforcement Actions
In the case of a nuisance property or an associated encampment, a more involved investigation may
occur. The Officer will determine if the activity is on 1) City property , 2) other private or public
property or 3) on a city right-of-way.
First, there is a determination of whether the issue is on a property (private or public) or a right-of-
way, and the Officer will take steps to determine who owns the personal property and is responsible
for the encampment.
If the impacted property in question is City property, or property that the owner has taken the step
to enter the property into the PAPD Trespass program, the Officer will go through an analysis to
determine if the encampment behavior is a violation of the RCW statute that covers Trespassing.
Is the property posted with the required legal notice? Is there evidence that the person(s) knows
or should know that they are present on another person’s property in violation of the law? Is there
evidence of prior violations or non-compliance on the same property or similar circumstances?
If there is an apparent trespass violation on property (versus a right of way) the persons involved
will be notified by the Officer and asked to move their activity off the property. If the person has
a documented history of being given verbal and/or written trespass notification on the same
property and the person is again present, the Officer has probable cause to make an arrest for
trespassing. Throughout the process Officers look to determine if person(s) have permission from
the property owner or representative of the owner to be on the property.
Persons violating posted “Park Hours” are asked by Officers to leave after a parks evening closure.
If they remain or return, as in the case of camping in the park after Park hours, they may be issued
a Trespass Notice. If the violations continue, they may be subsequently arrested for trespassing.
The decision to make an arrest for trespassing is highly fact-dependent and will include assessment
of factors such as the level of cooperation, prior and current behavior, violations of City Code, etc.
Officers will address other law violations as they become apparent. Illicit and provable drug
violations and existing arrest warrants may lead to a physical arrest.
Code Enforcement Officers maintain case files and an ongoing case log and activity log on open
cases.
Cases involving people are tracked through the normal CAD, Mobile Data and Records
Management system used by Officers for all cases. Cases involving property or a particular right-
of-way are also tracked in a case management system in Code Enforcement.
May 19, 2026 I - 28

If a complaint is initiated through PenCom a call for service is created in the computer aided
dispatch system (CAD). The CAD log documents information on the reporting party, the violation,
what PenCom Communications Officers were told, when the call was dispatched or forwarded,
which Officer handled the call and any subsequent information reported by the responding Code
Enforcement Officer or Patrol Officer. This record is called a ‘Detail Call for Service’ and is often
attached to a case report.
5) Personal Property and Determination of Abandonment
The Police Department has a Property and Evidence section within the Records Division. Property
and evidence are taken into the system consistent with Police Department Policy (PAPD Policy
802), WASPC Accreditation standards, the RCW and the Washington Administrative Code.
In some instances, Police Department personnel will take property into the Police Department
Evidence and Property system for safekeeping or accept found property. Property taken for
safekeeping is done under authority of law. Found property includes property that does not have an
apparent evidentiary value, where the owner cannot be readily identified or contacted and where
each item of property has an estimated value under the RCW of over $100 (RCW 63.21.050).
The Police Department will generally not accept any property worth less than an estimated $100 as
found property. Police Department personnel have discretion and have limited resources. Police
Department staff will not take abandoned property into the Evidence and Property system absent a
legal or a policy requirement.
The City Code does not allow the storage of personal property on City property without
authorization of the Director of Parks and Facilities. People leaving personal property on City
property, on other property or on a right-of-way are responsible for the security of their own
property. Items worth less than $100 that are abandoned or discarded items of trash are not the
responsibility of the Police Department or City staff. Trash that is discarded in an encampment or
other public area is not a protected item and can be removed or cleaned up by anyone.
Often abandonment is determined by asking the people who were last in the encampment location
if they intend to return. People move in and out of encampments. The decision to address the legal
or environmental implications of an encampment rests with the party responsible for the property.
The decision about clean-up may be influenced by, but is not ultimately dictated by, whether an
encampment is still being used.
In coordinated or facilitated clean-up activities with City staff, the Sheriff’s Department’s CREW
or other non-governmental organizations verbal notice of an intended clean-up is given along with
a request to comply with the City Code and the RCW. Code Enforcement Officers (in an effort to
gain compliance) will post an encampment on an area of City property or right -of-way with
standardized City of Port Angeles “No Occupancy” notices.
Police Department staff, absent a policy or legal reason, will not take into custody any personal
property that has been left behind in an occupied encampment or in an abandoned encampment,
either pre or post clean up.
For reference PAPD Policy 802 has been attached to this memo.
6) Linkage to Services
Concurrently, and depending upon the individual situation, REdisCOVERY and/ or the LEAD
teams, or PA Fire Community Paramedics will be advised as to the person, location and potential
May 19, 2026 I - 29
7
need for services. Persons are frequently advised regarding the location and continued availability
of the Serenity House Shelter on W. 18th St. Co-response partners (listed above) independently
check known encampment areas and offer services and linkage to services.
Throughout the process, people associated with encampments will be asked to clean up and remove
trash and litter. Officers and associated outreach and co-response staff frequently provide
individuals with items such as trash bags while providing important information and a link to
services.
Officers and staff often become aware of encampments incidental to responding to welfare checks
or in response reported drug overdoses. Protection of human life remains a top priority.
7) Environmental Restoration/Remediation Post Clean-Up
Currently, the City does not have a policy that directs environmental remediation of sites that have
been previously disturbed by human-caused means, such as encampments. Often these
encampments occur in our environmentally sensitive areas, such as along stream ravines and bluffs.
The continued degradation of these areas has significant impacts on slope stability, stormwater
runoff, and water quality in both streams and the harbor. The presence of and the handling of
human waste has clean-up, environmental restoration implications.
Moving forward, Staff believes that the city should implement best practices to remediate any
degradation of these areas, specifically in critical areas (slopes, wetlands, shorelines, stream
corridors, etc.).
Costs associated with materials and labor will fluctuate depending on the number of areas
needing to be restored each year but would likely average between $2,000 - $5,000 per site,
depending on the size of the area. Staff estimates approximately $40,000 - $80,000 a year would
be needed to fully support these restoration efforts. In some cases, the City will be responsible
for these costs and in other cases the costs will be borne by the private property owner or other
governmental entity.
8) Summary
This standard operating procedure is a living document and is designed to provide an understanding
of much of what is involved and what can be expected with the current City staff response to
encampments.
Funding: No funding is requested at this time. However, if Council directs enhancements to this SOP,
additional funding needs will be brought forward for consideration at that time.

Background / Analysis: At the February 3, 2026, City Council meeting, camping and encampments
were discussed. A motion was passed to hold a City Council Work Session on this issue on April 7, 2026.
Organizational Presentations
To prepare for the work session, a series of external organizations presented to the City Council on their
respective roles in homelessness services. During Council meetings in February and March, the City
Council received presentations from the following organizations; Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army,
4PA, the Clallam County Homelessness Task Force, Clallam County Harm Reduction Center, Peninsula
Behavioral Health, Peninsula Housing Authority, Serenity House, The Answer For Youth (TAFY), Port
Angeles Waterfront District, Olympic Peninsula Community Clinic (OPCC) / REdisCOVERY, Port

April 7th Work Session
During the April 7th Work Session, City staff provided a review of the presentations and
recommendations from external organizations; the roles and partnerships that City departments have in
supporting housing and homelessness assistance programs; and posed a series of questions to City
Council to facilitate discussion on addressing camping, encampments, and homelessness.
April 7th City Council Meeting
The discussion carried over to the regular meeting on April 7, 2026, where Council took formal action.
Motions were passed to prepare a set of proposals on several topics, including the following:
“Direct staff to prioritize the availability of all of the City’s 24-hour restroom facilities and
recommend to Council the location of the next two 24-hour public restroom sites”.
This memo responds to that motion with important background information and planned next steps.
2005 CFP
In 2005 the Parks & Recreation Department placed in the Capital Facilities Plan (PK-0205) a project to
replace the 60-year-old concrete block public restrooms with prefabricated concrete restrooms that meet
ADA requirements, are easy to maintain, and can withstand constant vandalism. The purpose of this
project was to replace existing restrooms, not add additional restrooms, that would later add to staff
workload.
2018 Actions
Thirteen years later, in 2018, the Port Angeles City Council approved $75,000 per year to set aside
funding to replace an existing restroom every two years. In 2019, City Council continued to support this
CFP project by placing an additional $75,000, totaling $150,000 per year, out of Real Estate Excise Tax
(REET) funding to expedite the replacement program due to increases in costs of the restrooms and
growing construction installation costs.
2023 Efforts
As funds for this program started to build up, the City also received $150,000 in Lodging Tax funds and
an additional $50,000 out of REET funds, to do a pilot project for a 24-hour restroom at the Gateway
Transit Center in the 2020 budget. However, once the pandemic hit in the beginning of 2021, it became
apparent that additional 24-hour restrooms were needed in the downtown area. City staff met with a
member of PHLUSH (Public Hygiene Lets Us Stay Human) to look at areas in the downtown area for
additional 24-hour restrooms. In the 2022 budget, funds were combined to purchase three 24-hour
restrooms, however, in review of engineering challenges it was deemed more cost effective and efficient
to place two 24-hour restrooms in the downtown parking lot adjacent to the Family Shoe Store and one
24-hour restroom at the Gateway Transit Center. The purchase of these three units was $517,689.00. The
total cost of the project with installation ($211,855.36) was $729,544 and was completed in 2023 by a
local contractor. All three of these restrooms are open 24-hours per day to the public and are located in
high visibility and foot traffic areas.
Next Steps
Since the completion of the 24-hour pilot project in 2023, the City has continued to accumulate funds for
future restroom replacement projects. Although the precast concrete restrooms at Erickson Playfield does
not need to be replaced at this time, Parks and Recreation staff felt it was important to put a 24-hour
May 19, 2026 I - 43
3
restroom in a central location in town next to our Recreational Corridor along Race Street. Having this
restroom will also give the Parks & Recreation Department flexibility to manage the closure of the precast
concrete restrooms during the winter months while still having 24-hour restroom access at the park. In
recent years the City has had to rent portable restrooms for this location as the precast concrete restrooms
are not designed for below freezing temperatures. Although our public spaces have certain closure hours
for different parks and facilities, locations that have a 24-hour restroom will remain accessible on a 24
hour basis. The purchase of this restroom was approved during the March 17, 2026, regular scheduled
Council meeting.
The next two 24 hour- restrooms that will be replaced is Erickson Playfield and Ediz Hook. As Parks &
Recreation staff completes the installation of the 24-hour restroom at Erickson Playfield, the Engineering
Project Manager will be working on the design of the replacement of the Ediz Hook Restroom. Elks
Playfield is scheduled for 2027/2028 and then Parks & Recreation staff will evaluate locations of
restrooms, including a much needed installation at Lincoln Park.
Funding Overview: Funding for the Erickson Playfield 24-hour restroom is available in the 2026
Budget under PK-0205 – Restroom Improvement Program approved in the 2026-2031 Capital Facilities
Plan. The purchase of the restroom was approved by Council during the March 17, 2026, City Council
meeting. Additional purchases of 24-hour restrooms will be brought forward to the City Council at a later
date.

Summary: At the April 7, 2026, City Council meeting, the following motion was passed: “Direct staff
to identify by the 2nd meeting in May, a timeline to add additional locations for public trashcans within
city limits as well as recommendations to address additional staff resources to manage the increase.” The
Parks & Recreation Department currently maintains 114 exterior trash receptacles of various styles at
locations throughout city limits. An additional 42 trash cans of various styles and sizes are located within
various park restrooms and rental facilities. To service these geographically disparate locations, requires
Parks & Recreations staff to cover a route of over 25 miles driving distance and an additional 8 miles of
walking distance per day. This does not include servicing any additional City facilities that the Parks &
Recreation Department maintains.
Strategic Plan: This issue directly aligns with Strategic Plan Reference: Area #1 – Community
Resilience, Goal “F”- Improve Community Health and Wellness or Community Resilience.
Funding: No specific funding is being requested at this time. However, if Council supports the
recommendation to initiate a CFP item on this issue, staff will provide initial cost estimates at that time.
Recommendation: Direct City staff to create a holistic trash can receptacle and servicing Capital
Facilities Plan item with the goal of 1) reviewing the current garbage collection process, 2) identifying
areas of innovation and improvements, 3) design, 4) efficiency, 5) safety, 6) adequate staffing, and 7)
additional receptacle locations in the downtown core and at key park/open space locations.

New Facilities and Less Staffing
Since 1991, the Parks & Recreation Department Maintenance Staff have not increased by any additional
full-time employees. Unfortunately, Seasonal staffing has been cut back due to funding constraints. Also,
since 1991, 18 major facilities have been built, along with the addition of the Port Angeles Lefties and
American Cruise Linces, both of which require considerable staff support. These facilities are:
o Dream Playground- Erickson Playfield
o Skate Park- Erickson Playfield
o Pump Track- Erickson Playfield
o Calisthenic Park- Erickson Playfield
o Gateway Transit Center
o Estuary Park
o 9/11 Memorial Park
o Olympic Discovery Trail
o ½ of Vern Samuel Trail
o Pebble Beach Park
o Sail & Paddle Park
o Harbor View Park
o Volunteer Field
o Volunteer Practice Field
o Lincoln Park Field #6
o Lincoln Park Field #7
o Esplanade
o Shane Park Playground
Time Consuming Efforts
The Parks & Recreation Department currently maintains 114 exterior trash receptacles of various styles
and geographically specific locations throughout City limits. An additional 42 trash cans of various styles
and sizes are located within the park’s restrooms and rental facilities. This route covers over 25 miles
May 19, 2026 I - 46
3
driving distance and an additional 8 miles of walking distance per day. This does not include any
additional City facilities that the Parks and Recreation Department maintains.
The current garbage collection process is seven days a week, 365 days a year operation supported by 1.3
full time employees for 7 months of the year, often working in the dark and then swapped for 1.3 seasonal
staff for the other 5 months to allow full time staff to take over Spring and Summer mowing,
beautification and athletic field duties.
The operation also includes the cleaning of nine geographically specific bathrooms and litter pick up of
various park sites on the way to and from garbage cans, restrooms and facilities not to mention dealing
with any graffiti or vandalism found in these restrooms.
The current operational approach involves no mechanized or automated procedures, relying on a solo
employee to walk up to every individual can and lift out 55-gallon bags, safely carry to a flatbed truck and
hoist chest to shoulder height into the bed of the truck. This involves employees exiting trucks into traffic
in many locations such as downtown, Front and First street and carry bags against their bodies with often
hazardous materials inside.
Holistic Approach Needed
Due to the current unsafe and inefficient approach to trash can locations and servicing, City staff are
recommending a more holistic, system wide review through a new CFP item. The goal of this effort
would be:
1) Reviewing the current garbage collection process
2) Identifying areas of innovation and improvement
3) Design
4) Efficiency
5) Safety
6) Adequate staffing
7) Additional receptacle locations in the downtown core and at key park/open space locations
Funding Overview: No specific funding is being requested at this time. However, if Council supports
the recommendation to initiate a CFP item on this issue, staff will provide initial cost estimates at that
time.

Subject: Behavioral Health Field Response
Strategic Plan: This single resource behavioral health response model review aligns with Focus Area #1
-“Improve Public Safety and Peace of Mind in our Community” though improved adequate and professional
behavioral health field response and Focus Area #2 – “Citywide Resource Optimization and Grow Staff
Capacity” though potentially improved staff capacity.
Background/Analysis: At the February 3, 2026, City Council meeting, camping and encampments
were discussed. A motion was passed to hold a City Council Work Session on this issue on April 7, 2026.
Organizational Presentations
To prepare for the work session, a series of external organizations presented to the City Council on their
respective roles in homelessness services. During Council meetings in February and March, the City
Council received presentations from the following organizations; Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army,
4PA, the Clallam County Homelessness Task Force, Clallam County Harm Reduction Center, Peninsula
Behavioral Health, Peninsula Housing Authority, Serenity House, The Answer For Youth (TAFY), Port
Angeles Waterfront District, Olympic Peninsula Community Clinic (OPCC) / REdisCOVERY, Port
Angeles First United Methodist Church, and Olympic Community Action Programs.
April 7th Work Session
Summary: At the April 7, 2026, City Council meeting, the following motion was passed, “Direct staff to
identify the feasibility of a dedicated non law enforcement behavioral health 9-1-1 response team”. Staff
has reviewed what is occuring across Washington State regarding the dispatching of behavioral health units
as single resources, as opposed to our current co-response dispatch model, by contacting all of the 9-1-1
center coordinators in Washington and inquiring about a single resource behavioral health response model.
The responses received are listed below.
Strategic Plan: This item aligns with the City of Port Angeles Strategic Plan Focus Area #1 -“Improve
Public Safety and Peace of Mind in our Community” and Focus Area #2 – “Citywide Resource
Optimization and Grow Staff Capacity”.
Funding: There are no funding requirements for this item at this time. However, there would be future
funding implications of a change in the behavioral health response model.
Recommendation: This memo is provided as information only; no Council action is requested at this
time.

During the April 7th Work Session, City staff provided a review of the presentations and
recommendations from external organizations; the roles and partnerships that City departments have in
supporting housing and homelessness assistance programs; and posed a series of questions to City
Council to facilitate discussion on addressing camping, encampments, and homelessness.
April 7th City Council Meeting
The discussion carried over to the regular meeting on April 7, 2026, where Council took formal action.
Motions were passed to prepare a set of proposals on several topics, including the following:
At the April 7, 2026, City Council meeting, the following motion was passed:
“Direct staff to identify the feasibility of a dedicated non law enforcement behavioral health 9-1-1
response team”.
Staff prepared this memo and background information to assist the City Council in considering the next
step by reviewing what is occurring across the State of Washington regarding the use of behavioral health
units as a separate response versus the co-response model used in Port Angeles and Clallam County.
Police Department. Deputy Director Karl Hatton contacted every 9-1-1 center coordinator in Washington
regarding single resource dispatching of behavioral health units. The following information was
provided to Deputy Director Hatton.
Seattle CARES (Seattle PD “Cares” refers to the 9-1-1 center for Seattle PD).
• Behavioral Health (BH) does not respond outside of a co-response model. They always respond
with two BH personnel, or with a Police Officer or Fire Department Medical responder as their
second person.
• BH does have radios, but no mobile data terminals (MDTs) or access to computer aided dispatch
(CAD) data.
• BH responds in a co-responder status to most behavioral health, substance abuse, child protective
service (CPS), adult protective service (APS), domestic violence (DV), homeless-related
complaints, suicide, Involuntary Treatment Act (ITA), criminal trespass, low-level theft, and calls
related to known individuals.
• Out of a population of 260,000, about 5,000-6,000 calls were deemed appropriate for a co-response.
• Seattle Cares has an interest in doing a BH-only response but reports that they cannot do so at this
time.
• They currently estimate that hiring, training and adding enough personnel to manage a night shift
BH-only response would cost between $4 and $5 million.
Whatcom 9-1-1, City of Bellingham
• The 9-1-1 center has a BH provider who sits in the 9-1-1 center and reviews BH-related calls. They
are responsible for notifying BH field units when calls appear appropriate for them to respond to.
• All BH calls are entered as law enforcement calls, and the duty patrol supervisor reviews all BH-
related calls that BH is tagged to respond to.
• This has historically been a co-response model with law enforcement responding, and BH units
being dispatched by the BH specialist with either law enforcement or a fire unit.
• Over the past 6 months, enough trust has been built over the previous nearly 2 years that the Police
Department patrol supervisor either “slow rolls” a unit or waits for BH to arrive on the scene and
relies on their judgment on whether law enforcement needs to respond. BH always responds with
either a 2-person or 3-person team.
• BH field units have radios and MDTs.
• The Department of Health pays for the entire program, mostly through grants, for personnel,
May 19, 2026 I - 52
3
vehicles, radios, and MDTs.
• This is a pilot program, and starting January 1, 2027, it is likely that BH will be considered a user
agency and will be charged for dispatch services.
• Currently, they run BH units M-F from 0800-1800, with on-call units available on the weekends
and at night.
• They estimate that running 2, 2-person teams (with vehicles, radio, MDT), having someone in
dispatch, a case supervisor, and their program administration costs them about $1.4 million a year.
• Extensive training with all BH dispatch and field units took about 6 months prior to being deployed
as a co-response unit, with a full year (or more) of time to develop trust between law enforcement
and BH to allow for BH-only response to certain calls.
• There are approximately 85,000 law enforcement calls for service, with about 2,500 calls meeting
the co-response criteria. In the past six months, out of 2,500 calls, 400 received a BH-only response.
Total BH co-response represents less than 3% of all calls, with BH only representing less than 1%.
University of Washington PD
• This unique agency and demographic do have a “Husky Assist” program in which they send BH
as a single resource response, or with the University of Washington Police. Most of these calls
come in from a counselor or advisor who is already with the person needing help.
Results of Preliminary Review
• We found that only one agency in the State does BH only response – and that is after nearly two
years of operations and increasing trust, and only within the last six months.
o All calls are entered into the system for law enforcement.
o A law enforcement supervisor reviews all calls to determine if only BH will respond.
o BH responds with a minimum of 2 people.
o A BH professional sits in 911 and co-triages all BH calls to determine if BH is responding.
o The experience of this agency is that less than 3% of all incoming calls include a BH
component as part of the response.
• BH agencies in the above examples are funded through grants and operated by the BH authority
and not by 9-1-1. In Clallam County this would be Peninsula Behavioral Health.
• Seattle CARES recommended that if an agency was looking at the single response BH model, the
prudent course of action is to hire a consultant to review all calls, call disposition, and narrative
information to help determine an agency's use-case for the percentage of total calls that would be
responded to or handled by BH.
• There is no 9-1-1, public safety triage (PST) tool for considering a BH-only response outside of
transfers to 988, which already occur.
• While some legislation has improved 9-1-1 center liability, most of what we can find is specific to
co-response models and not implicitly surrounding a PST making a BH response determination for
a BH-only response.
• If there was intent to continue to explore this concept it appears that consultants would need to be
hired to do a full systems review of all calls to determine whether a BH -only response would be
appropriate and what that impact would be on the entire system.
• A significant investment in training and onboarding current BH specialists to operate both inside
the 911 center and as BH responders would need to occur.
• Based on the comparables listed, a Clallam County program might require an annual operating
budget between one and four million dollars (which would likely not allow for full 24-hour
coverage).
• We did not discover any new information regarding triage tools that can reliably isolate mental

health only calls.
Port Angeles and Clallam County
Peninsula Behavioral Health (PBH) is the mental health agency for Port Angeles and Clallam County. The
Port Angeles Police and Fire Departments and PenCom have a strong and long-term relationship with PBH
and their staff. PAPD Sergeant David Arand is the current PBH Board Past President. Police and Fire
personnel are called by PBH staff to co-respond to some mental health circumstances. PBH has reported
to us that they utilize the statewide 9-8-8 system and take mental health calls directly from clients and
directly to PBH. Without further study it is unknown how many of those mental health calls would have
otherwise come to PenCom (9-1-1).
PBH reports to us that they have 24 hour “crisis responders” available. PBH staff call for a law enforcement
response when they are concerned for staff safety or when a mental health call becomes something that fits
the legal definition inside the Involuntary Treatment Act (ITA). PBH has not shown an interest in
becoming a PenCom user agency. PenCom user agencies sign an agreement, pay annual user fees and are
required to deploy radios, mobile data terminals and other technology that allow users to be dispatched by
PenCom.
Funding: No funding is requested at this time. If Council directs changes to the current co-response model
additional funding needs will be brought forward for consideration at that time.

supporting housing and homelessness assistance programs; and posed a series of questions to City
Council to facilitate discussion on addressing camping, encampments, and homelessness.

The discussion carried over to the regular meeting on April 7, 2026, where Council took formal action.
Motions were passed to prepare a set of proposals on several topics, including the following:
“Direct staff to report back to Council, no later than the second meeting in September, the

where the City has a stronger voice in the final say on the uses of federal and state
homelessness funding, such as 1590 sales tax and document recording fees, that are directed
to be used within City limits.”
Staff prepared this memo and background information to assist the City Council in considering the next
steps.
Federal and State Laws that control Homelessness Funding
There are several state laws addressing homelessness funding:
• RCW 43.185C.050 requires every Washington county with a homeless housing task force to
create a multiyear plan aimed at eliminating homelessness, and it defines what activities those
plans may fund.
• RCW 43.185C.060 creates a Washington State Home Security competitive grant fund that is
managed by the Washington State Department of Commerce and primarily funded through
recording fees. This statute creates performance metrics for the Counties and ties a portion of the
funding to measurable outcomes. This fund is primarily available to Washington State Counties.
• RCW 36.32.120 (6) gives Counties the legislative authority to control County property and the
management of the County funds.
• RCW 43.185C.080 defines the eligible organizations for homelessness funds, including
nonprofits, local governments, and housing authorities. In addition, the following is stated: “Only
a local government is eligible to receive a homeless housing grant from the home security fund
account. Any city may assert responsibility for homeless housing within its borders, if it so
chooses, by forwarding a resolution to the county legislative authority stating its intention and
commitment to operate a separate homeless housing program. The city shall then receive a
percentage of the surcharge assessed under RCW 36.22.250(2)(b) equal to the percentage of the
city's local portion of the real estate excise tax collected by the county. A participating city may
also then apply separately for homeless housing program grants.”
• Homelessness Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HERTH) Act
consolidated HUD’s competitive grant programs into a single Continuum of Care (CoC) program,
emphasizing rapid re-housing, widened the definition of homelessness, and increased prevention
resources to improve efficiency.
Washington State and the counties, in large part, control homelessness funding, homelessness task forces,
and create local homelessness housing plans. It is the responsibility of the Cities to actively participate in
these processes and groups.

County Funding Opportunities and the Relation to Sales Use Taxes
The City of Port Angeles can request 2163 or 2060 funds through a County-led request for proposals
process or create a separate homelessness housing program. Staff strongly advises against creating a City-
led homelessness housing program without additional dedicated recurring funding and staffing.
Both the City of Port Angeles and Clallam County manage separate Sales and Use Tax SHB 1406
(through RCW 82.14.540), and Sales and Use Tax SHB 1590 funds (through RCW 82.14.530). Since
2024, the City of Port Angeles has awarded a $40,000 SUT 1406 grant to Peninsula Behavioral Health to
rehabilitate a single-family residence for its program participants.
There have been five SUT 1590 grants awarded by the City since 2024. A $24,999 grant was awarded to
TAFY and the First United Methodist Church of Port Angeles to build one transitional-housing tiny
home. A $740,000 SUT 1590 grant was given to PBH for the North View 36-unit permanent supportive
housing development. In 2025, a $50,000 grant was awarded to support 4PA's 11-unit transitional-
housing tiny homes. In 2026, a $9,000 1590 SUT grant was awarded to the Olympic Home Share
organization to support the Nesterly home-sharing app. In 2026, a $91,006.37 grant was awarded to 4PA
for the common facilities building, which includes three bathrooms, a kitchen, and common areas.
The City of Port Angeles manages a highly successful SUT affordable housing grant program; therefore,
it is not recommended that the Clallam County Homelessness Task Force or Housing Solutions
Committee have jurisdiction over the distribution of these City funds.
Clallam County Homelessness Task Force
The Clallam County Homelessness Task Force (HTF) was created in 2005 through Resolution 85 and
serves as an advisory committee to the Board of County Commissioners. The HTF advises and
recommends on issues related to the 10- Year Plan to End Homelessness in Clallam County.
On May 27, 2025, the HTF updated the five-year plan for Clallam County's response to homelessness.
HTF has a maximum of 22 positions, with 17 current members serving three terms with no term limits.
HTF includes an executive committee, on which the City of Port Angeles has a seat; a request for
proposals (RFP) review committee composed of HTF members and community members with no
fiduciary association with the Homeless Grant, consisting of 2163 and 2060 funds; and an outreach and
education committee.
The Executive Committee is comprised of no more than seven members:
• Chair: Viola Ware, Director of Housing and Community Development, Olympic Community
Action Programs
• Vice Chair: Sharon Maggard, the Executive Director of Serenity House of Clallam County
• Additional members whose agencies work directly with the homeless and those who are
Government Officials.
The most recent HTF RFP Review Committee was comprised of:
• Amy Miller, City of Port Angeles City Council Member
• Loni Greninger, Vice Chairwoman of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe
• Laurel Shriner, United Way of Clallam County Community Impact Manager
• John DeBoer, a homeless or formerly homeless representative
The RFP review process was facilitated by Jenny Oppelt, Clallam County Health and Human Services
Deputy Director, and Christine Dunn, the Clallam County Health and Human Services Behavioral Health
and Homelessness Coordinator. The HTF primarily recommends funding allocations for SHB 2060
(RCW 36.22.178), which provides funds for the operation and maintenance of low- income housing
May 19, 2026 I - 57
4
projects and for innovative housing demonstration projects, and HB 2163 (RCW 36.22.179), which
provides funds to address local homelessness by providing housing, supportive services, and
homelessness prevention. Clallam County has access to the Washington State Department of Commerce
Consolidated Homeless Grant funding and document recording fees, also known as the Washington State
Home Security Fund, through SSB 5386 and RCW 36.22.250. These funds are not awarded through the
RFP process.
Clallam County Homelessness Task Force Funding Process
The HTF uses a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to make funding decisions for eligible projects on a
fixed biennial schedule that aligns with the Washington State fiscal year. The most recent 2025-2027
funding allocation approved 11 applications totaling $1,148,281.95 for shelter/housing, security
mitigation, housing navigators, and workforce development. Awards totaling $755,778.65, or 66% of the
total funding, went directly to organizations working primarily within the Port Angeles city limits.
Homelessness funding proposals are reviewed by the RFP committee, approved at the HTF level, and
ultimately approved by the Clallam County Board of County Commissioners. Sales and Use Tax SHB
1406 (through RCW 82.14.540), and Sales and Use Tax SHB 1590 funds (through RCW 82.14.530)
collected by Clallam County are presented to the County’s Housing Solutions Committee ad hoc RFP
committee, then presented to the larger Housing Solutions Committee, and ultimately approved by the
Clallam County Board of County Commissioners.
Sales and Use Tax 1406 and 1590 funding requests are issued on a rolling basis at the Clallam County
Housing Solutions Committee. The Clallam County Housing Solutions Committee is currently
reevaluating how to allocate grant funds and at what cadence.
Other Examples of ILAs and MOUs for Joint Governance of Homelessness Services Funding
Both MOU’s and ILAs are valuable tools that help local governments ensure the rate of return and equity
in homelessness funding. Several Washington cities and counties’ MOUs and ILAs regarding
homelessness assistance funding and services are provided below:
City of Spokane, City of Spokane Valley, and Spokane County
The City of Spokane, Spokane County, the City of Spokane Valley, and the Spokane County Housing and
Community Development Department have an interlocal agreement stating that each party will administer
its grants separately. Data is collected through the Spokane Regional Continuum of Care. The interlocal
agreement outlines the joint responsibilities of the fund administrators, including meeting regularly,
coordinating planning and community outreach, updating and approving local homelessness plans,
updating the housing inventory count, coordinating inclement weather response, jointly planning and
conducting the point-in-time count, coordinating and distributing homelessness funds, and evaluating the
effectiveness of homelessness programs.
City of Seattle and King County
The City of Seattle and King County have a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for joint governance
of homelessness services. The MOU's key features include rethinking how homelessness services and
housing investments are governed by first examining the current system to identify gaps, overlaps, and
inefficiencies between county and city efforts. It aims to define clear principles and outcomes and to
engage stakeholders to improve services. The process emphasizes regional coordination with cities across
King County to ensure that investments form a cohesive network. The MOU also directs the jurisdictions
to study governance models from other U.S. cities for local adoption.
May 19, 2026 I - 58

City of Vancouver and Clark County
Clark County and the City of Vancouver have an ILA specific to sales and use tax for chemical
dependency and mental health treatment funds. This ILA supports the City of Vancouver’s owned-and-
operated shelter. It also says that Clark County agrees to pay the City of Vancouver $2.1 million for this
project.
City of Port Townsend and Jefferson County
Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend also have an ILA to create a joint housing fund board.
This joint framework speaks to how the two jurisdictions coordinate, manage, and distribute affordable
housing recording fees (through RCW 36.22.178 and RCW 36.22.179 & 1791), Sales and Use Tax SHB
1406 funding (through RCW 82.14.540), and Sales and Use Tax SHB 1590 funds (through RCW
82.14.530). All funding for the joint housing fund board is held by the Jefferson County Treasurer, except
for 1406 funds, which are managed by the City of Port Townsend. The joint housing fund board has
seven members: two city-elected officials, two county-elected officials, and three jointly appointed citizen
members. The board recommends how ILA revenues are allocated, creates a 10‑year plan for SHB 1590
funds, establishes RFP processes and scoring criteria, ensures equitable distribution of funds across the
county, and confirms all expenditures comply with state law. The ILA also states that the joint housing
fund board can jointly hire a facilitator to work through the process. If any disagreements arise, the ILA
points to negotiations, non-binding mediation through the Peninsula Dispute Resolution Center, or
binding arbitration before a three-person panel.
Options for Co-Governance of Homelessness Funding with Clallam County
With best practices in mind, City staff are suggesting two options for Council discussion and
consideration to fulfill the motion passed at the April 7th City Council Meeting on this topic.
An ILA or MOU may be helpful for asserting greater influence by the City of Port Angeles over the funds
distribution process, including SHB 2060 (RCW 36.22.178), HB 2163 (RCW 36.22.179), the Washington
State Department of Commerce Consolidated Homeless Grant funding, and document recording fees, also
known as the Washington State Home Security Fund, through SSB 5386 and RCW 36.22.250. City staff
advise against co-governance of City SUT 1406 and 1590 funds.
Option A – The current HTF charter includes both an executive committee and an RFP selection
committee. Although the executive committee is not meeting at present, a new MOU or ILA could revive
it, establish regular meetings, and detail specific roles and responsibilities. For Option A, the following
steps would be taken:
1) Authorize the Mayor to send a letter to the HTF Chair and Vice Chair, requesting an MOU or
ILA to reestablish the executive committee. The executive committee would have specific roles
and responsibilities, including greater authority to create the local homelessness plan, set
overarching goals, and evaluate and audit the effectiveness of overall homelessness programs and
funding streams.
2) The MOU or ILA would also create additional seats on the overall Homelessness Task Force and
the executive committee for the City of Port Angeles. This action is both representative of the
level of service in Port Angeles and representative of the proportion of homeless community
members within Port Angeles city limits.
Option B – Create a joint housing funding board modeled after the Jefferson County Model. Option B
could be more costly and time-consuming. Option B recommends an ILA that outlines the following:
1) Authorize the Mayor to send a letter to the HTF Chair and Vice Chair requesting the creation of a
joint housing fund board between the City of Port Angeles, the City of Sequim, the City of Forks,
May 19, 2026 I - 59
6
the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, the Quileute Tribe, the Makah
Tribe, and Clallam County.
2) The joint housing funding board would coordinate, manage, and distribute homelessness funding.
3) Each jurisdiction could jointly hire an independent and impartial facilitator to guide funding
decisions and negotiations.
4) The ILA will task the HTF executive committee with evaluating and auditing the effectiveness of
homelessness programs and funding streams.
Funding Overview: There is no funding associated with the creation of an interlocal agreement. The
proposed City of Port Angeles and Clallam County ILA would discuss the co-governance of SHB 2060
(RCW 36.22.178), HB 2163 (RCW 36.22.179), the Washington State Department of Commerce
Consolidated Homeless Grant funding, and document recording fees, also known as the Washington State
Home Security Fund, through SSB 5386 and RCW 36.22.250.

When the At Large term is expired, the position will be re-assigned its original category.
Qualifications: HTF members shall be appointed on the basis of representation from groups as
indicated in the section on membership (above).

by means of a press release naming the type of vacancy, where to pick up an application and the
closing date for accepting applications. Vacancies will also be advertised via HHS email
distribution lists. Applicants for a vacancy must obtain a positive recommendation from a majority
of the current HTF membership before their name will be sent to the BOCC for possible
appointment to the HTF. If no applications are received by the expiration of the application period,
or if applicants fail to be recommended to the BOCC for appointment by a majority of the current
HTF membership, then HTF, the BOCC may solicit individuals to serve and may appoint members
without another open application period.

participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means
shall constitute presence-in-person at a meeting. For voting purposes, approved alternates will be
allowed to vote in the absence of the primary member they are representing.
Actions Requiring a Vote: Each voting member of the HTF shall be entitled to one vote on all
actions of the HTF that require a vote. An affirmative vote of a majority plus one HTF members

Old business
New business
Next meeting agenda
Updates and Announcements from Task Force Members
ARTICLE 7 CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Given the professional context of the situation, as well as the parameters of the professional
community, it is not possible to avoid all conflicts of interest on this HTF. However, in service to
accountability to the community it is essential that any and all potential conflicts of interests, real
or perceived, be transparently acknowledged and addressed with a firm set of guidelines and
bylaws. Members of the HTF having personal, family, professional or pecuniary interest on an
action item that may be deemed to establish a conflict shall declare the conflict and refrain from
discussing or voting on such matters.
Good faith disclosure: Each member should prepare and submit a formal statement of any and all
potential dual roles and conflicts of interest. This information should be compiled as a list and
distributed to all HTF members as well as any interested or concerned community members. This
list should be reviewed and updated annually (Sample form attached.)
Information to be disclosed should include the following:
May 19, 2026 I - 67
8
Employment or any other association with any entity that is currently receiving funding or
may in the future receive funding at the recommendation of this group.
Financial investments and/or interests in any activity or entity involved or potentially
involved in projects that is currently receiving funding or may in the future receive funding
at the recommendation of this group.
Existing professional or personal associations with funded projects or personnel.
Personal convictions which could potentially interfere with impartiality in discussing and
voting on any particular issue.
Procedure to be followed: before the HTF may take action on any funding decision for publicly
funded projects or recommendation, an inquiry should be made of the board members present,
regarding any potential conflicts, with discussions as deemed appropriate.
HTF members should identify themselves as having a conflict of interest when applicable. After
any questions pertinent to that particular board member, the identified member should recuse him
or herself from not only voting on the issues currently being considered, but also from all
discussion and/or debate around the issues at hand before voting occurs.
At no point should a HTF member ever be inquiring or advocating for funds or decisions in favor
of any entity in which he or she represents or in which he or she has some other interest or
involvement.
Consistent violations may lead to recommendation for removal from the HTF. Contested conflicts
and/or violations may require outside consultation as deemed appropriate by either the majority
vote of the HTF and/or the BOCC.
The Code of Ethics as stated in County Code at §3.01.030 shall be deemed applicable to all
members of the HTF.
ARTICLE 8 COUNTY POLICIES
To the extent these Bylaws differ from or are contrary to County Policy 952, as that Policy may
in the future be amended or replaced, then these Bylaws shall govern. To the extent these
Bylaws are silent with respect to a particular event, incident, vote or circumstance, then the HTF
is authorized to look to state law or regulation or any County code provision or policy including,
but not limited to, Policy 952, in order to resolve the event, incident, vote or circumstance.
May 19, 2026 I - 68

ARTICLE 9 AMENDMENTS
These rules may be amended at any regular meeting be a vote of the majority of the members
present, providing there is a quorum. Proposed changes to the bylaws shall be published and
available to HTF members for at least 7 days before a vote.

2025 – 2027 Homeless Program Funding
RFP Summaries and Recommendations
Homeless Housing and Assistance Funds (2163):
Proposals: $720,000.00 was available for the 2025-2027 cycle ($360,000 per year) for homeless housing and assistance in Clallam County.
Affordable Housing Funds (2060):
Proposals: $130,000.00 was available for the 2025-2027 cycle ($65,000 per year) for affordable housing in Clallam County.
Clallam County Health and Human Services received 12 proposals. Of these, 9 were for Homeless Housing and Assistance (2163) funding and 3
were for Affordable Housing (2060) funding.
The total funds requested for Homeless Housing and Assistance Funds: $1,613,559.66
The total funds requested for Affordable Housing Funds: $237,652.00
The following members volunteered to participate on the proposal review committee. Each member has no financial interests in any entity
eligible to submit a proposal.
RFP Proposal Review Committee Members:
John DeBoer – board member representing homeless or formerly homeless individuals

Clallam County Health & Human Services created an online folder where all proposals, agency audits or financial records, and scoring forms were
uploaded. A copy of the RFP and a link to RCW 82.14.460 were also provided. The process followed was similar to previously used proposal
selection processes. On March 25th and 27th, 2025, the review committee assembled virtually via Zoom where all 12 bidders provided a short
presentation of their proposal and answered questions posed by the review committee members. The information provided helped clarify
elements of the proposals which ultimately helped in the final rating (i.e., recommended for funding/not recommended for funding/funded at a
different rate than proposed) of the proposal.
The Review Committee discussed scores and information provided by agencies at intervals throughout the interview process and again in more
detail at the end of the second day. Due to the large amount of funds requested compared to funds available, the review committee members
utilized several factors to assist in the decision-making process. This included connection to funding priorities, availability of other funding
sources, community need, and previous program performance were considered. These factors in conjunction with the proposal score were
utilized to make funding recommendations.
UPDATE:
The Review Committee reconvened on September 3, 2025, to provide recommendations regarding the use of supplemental Document
Recording Fee (DRF) funds received from the Washington State Department of Commerce. A total of $445,167.00 in supplemental DRF funding
has been received for SFY 2025–2026 only.
These funds will be used to enhance the originally approved funding amounts for SFY 2025–2026. Additionally, where applicable, the
supplemental DRF funds will be applied first—prior to the use of local dollars—toward the originally funded amounts, thereby preserving local
funding.
Before the subcommittee reconvened, CCHHS contacted each funded agency to identify their current funding shortfall for SFY 2025–2026. That
information was then shared with the subcommittee.

AGENDA TITLE blease provide a reasonably descriptive agenda title.for this item: [n the matter of granting an
easement to Avista, Inc. to route underground electrical power through a portion of the Mica Peak Conservation Area and
relocate existing overhead electrical facilities underground.
DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY (please provide anticipatedfrscal and budsetary information & reason for request):
ln20l7, Spokane County Parks, Recreation and Golf purchased three parcels on Mica Mountain from Inland Empire
Paper, Co. through funding provided by the Spokane County Conservation Futures program and the Washington State
Recreation and Conservation Office. The combined acreage of this acquisition was a little more than 900 acres. These
parcels connected the Mica Peak Conssrvation Area and Liberty Lakc Regional Park, providing the public with a
combined 5,300 acres of contiguous public land on which to hike, bike and take in the beauty of the natural
surroundings.
When Spokane County purchased these parcels from Inland Empire Paper in 2017, these parcels contained an 60'
easement granted to Avista, Inc. (formerly Washington Power Co.) in 1997. Avista uses this easement to provide
overhead electrical service to various radio and communications customers locatd near the top of Mica Peak. Avista is
requesting a new l0' wide easement which follows the same general route up the north side of Mica Mountain and will be
used to install underground electrical service lines.
The purpose of this project is to reduce potential wildfire risks, reduce outages and improve access. After the
undcrground service is installed, Avista will remove the overhead lines and poles and Spokane County will terminate and
release the existing 60' wide easement. Avista will provide erosion and sediment control, reseed with native seed mixes,
control noxious weeds and monitor the disturbed areas for up to 2 years after installation is completed.

Memorandum of Understanding
Between
City of Seattle
And
King County
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) sets forth the terms of agreement between the City of
Seattle (“City”) and King County (“County”) for the purposes of strengthening our ongoing government
to government cooperation and to review and make recommendations on joint governance structures
for programs affecting people experiencing homelessness countywide.
The purpose of this MOU is to further strengthen coordination and ensure our systems are improving
outcomes for people who are experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of homelessness
countywide. Just as homelessness does not respect municipal borders, our cooperation on
homelessness services and housing investments must expand beyond municipal boundaries. This MOU
establishes the Homeless Services and Housing Governance Partnership (‘Partnership”) consisting of City
and County staff, All Home, and regional partners.
The Partnership will have the following goals:
Review current system governing homeless service and housing investments to identify
existing service gaps and duplicative efforts between the County and the City.
Set principles and outcomes that a new system governing homelessness service and housing
investment should address.
Engage stakeholders to discuss desired revisions to the existing governing system in order to
better serve our homeless community.
Work with cities in King County and other regional partners to ensure coordinated investments
provide a comprehensive network of services countywide.
Study current models governing public health, homeless services, and housing investments in
other U.S. cities. Consider what elements of these governance models could be implemented
to reach set principals and outcomes.
Establish shared budget priorities and joint planning efforts to meet the needs of King County
and Seattle’s homeless population.
By December 1, 2018, make governance recommendations to the King County Executive and
Mayor of Seattle regarding potential system revisions to increase the effectiveness, reach, and
efficiency of our countywide homelessness system.
While the work of the Partnership continues, the City and the County commit to the following short
term deliverables.
Seattle Human Services Department (“HSD”), Seattle Office of Housing (“SOH”), and County
Department of Community and Human Services (“DCHS”) will coordinate in advance on all
Request for Proposals (“RFPs”) from the signing of this MOU to 2020.
May 19, 2026 I - 96
HSD, SOH, and DCHS will use joint contract language and joint monitoring of programs on all
RFPs from the signing of this MOU to 2020. Contracts will require providers to provide
information necessary to review efficiency, ensure accountable, and demonstrate success of
services. These requirements should complement and support the systemwide performance
targets and minimum standards established in the MOU signed September 6, 2016 between the
City, the County, and United Way of King County.
HSD, SOH, and DCHS directors will report monthly to the Mayor of Seattle and King County
Executive on their joint progress.
HSD and DCHS will commit to a review of HMIS data-based analytic models and develop a plan
for system improvements that would allow us to target future homelessness investments that
align data, performance, and impact evaluation efforts across the city and county. The City and
the County will engage regional partners, the City’s Performance and Innovation Team, and
regional tech businesses on best practices for improving current data sharing, privacy and
security practices, and analytical tools. The plan should include recommendations for
resourcing of potential improvements. This builds on ongoing work at HSD, DCHS, and All Home
to improve publicly facing dashboards. The City and County data teams will also explore
developing reporting tools to allow the public and decisionmakers to more frequently track
progress serving the homeless populations. DCHS and HSD will ensure that data teams engaged
in projects under the MOU have the HMIS access necessary for the execution of Partnership-
initiated projects.
Background
The coordination of funding between the City of Seattle, King County, and other cities in King County is a
consistent challenge in effectively serving our homeless population. Though Seattle has the largest
concentration of individuals experiencing homelessness, we know that some of that population
originates from other cities in the county, making this a shared crisis affecting all of the county’s
municipalities. It is essential that we look for every opportunity to further coordinate our investments
countywide so that we are reaching people in need in their community.
We also have a responsibility as stewards of taxpayer funding to ensure our homeless investments are
making the biggest impact for the most people. This will ensure our resources continue to improve
outcomes for people experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of becoming homeless. King County
residents have been generous in the provision of funds to this crisis – through initiatives such as the
Seattle Housing Levy, the King County Veterans, Seniors and Human Services Levy, and the Mental
Illness and Drug Dependency Sales Tax. However, there remain large unfilled gaps countywide.
Coordination on investments in shared priorities between the City and the County continues to be an
area where improvement is needed.
All Home, the Seattle/King County Continuum of Care, has traditionally been responsible for
coordinating homeless service investments across government entities in our region. However, we
continue to experience challenges in harmonizing administration of homeless services between our
many governing structures. This Partnership will work closely with All Home and other stakeholders
countywide, to make our system more resilient, responsive, and effective.

JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CONSENT AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Mark McCauley,Interim County Administrator
DATE: November 1,2021
SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement Between Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend to
Support Affordable Housing and Homeless Housing Programs
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: In November 2018 Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend entered into a
new Interlocal Agreement(ILA)to support affordable housing and homeless housing programs. The ILA created a
Joint Oversight Board(JOB)to manage funds collected through recording fees and other funding mechanisms, such as
sales taxes. The agreement also called for the JOB to bring on a facilitator to convene a Local Housing Task Force
which would develop a Local Five-Year Homeless Housing Plan and complete other duties as assigned by the JOB.
Several years have passed since this agreement was adopted. Both the County and the City believe a new ILA is
necessary to incorporate lessons learned since 2018. The new ILA supersedes the 2018 ILA.
ANALYSIS: The new ILA creates a Housing Fund Board that replaces the Joint Oversight Board and adds another
commissioner and city councilor with seven members total. The new ILA allows the Housing Fund Board to create
a Housing Task Force to assist the Housing Fund Board in discharging its responsibilities.
The new ILA requires more detailed reporting on expenditures and requires the Housing Fund Board to develop a ten-
year plan for SHB 1590 funds.
It also specifies that the County will submit the annual SHB 1406 sales and use tax report to the Washington State
Department of Commerce on behalf of the County and the City.
The attached new ILA has been reviewed and approved by both the Port Townsend City Attorney and the Chief Civil
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney.
Presentation to the Port Townsend City Council of the attached document is expected shortly.
FISCAL IMPACT: This request has no fiscal impact in and of itself.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Interlocal Agreement
between Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend to support affordable housing and homeless housing
programs.
