The city does not have a working definition for diversity, which I learned from the city clerk on July 30. Yet the August 4, 2020 memo written by Nathan West, Ken Dubuc, and Brian Smith states that, “the PSAB has a diverse membership when it comes to age, profession, and life experience.” If you were to take out outliers, like student representative Kiara Schmitt, how much age diversity exists on the PSAB? Also, life experiences by a diverse population includes people experiencing homelessness, people who have struggled with addition, and people who have been on the other side of the criminal justice system. The memo doesn’t condemn vigilantism, white supremacy, or address the public safety concerns that were brought to the board by six members of the public, half of whom are people of color, at the June 17 PSAB meeting. In fact, I have attached the meeting notes and I encourage you to read the public comments. Additionally, information not included in the notes is that Alan Barnard and Evan Brown said, “no comment”. Not being able to articulate a comment on public safety, policing, and race at a time like this is not a good sign for the ability of this board to do its job. These issues had been front page news for weeks by the June 17 PSAB meeting – informed board members should have been able to comment. Also, I am attaching a Facebook Post that suggests that Alan Barnard, chair of the public safety advisory board, is part of a vigilante group that coordinates with law enforcement to “cleanup” homeless camps. From the vigilantes’ perspective, they are cleaning up “Our Town” and from my perspective they are part of the vigilante problem that plagues are community. If the PSAB is not, as the memo states, “serving as a liaison between public safety and the community and working towards a goal of becoming knowledgeable in public safety issues,” then it needs to be reformed. City of Port Angeles staff are going to try to convince you that there is nothing wrong with the public safety advisory board. Please listen to your constituents and reform the board. Thank you, Carolyn Wilcox PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY BOARD Virtual Meeting Port Angeles, Washington June 17, 2020 6:00 pm CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Barnard called the regular meeting of the Public Safety Advisory Board to order at 6:01 p.m. ROLL CALL: Members Present: Alan Barnard, Evan Brown, Lourene O’Brien, Alan Oman, Kiara Schmitt, Teresa Sesma-Meyers, Shana Scott, Members Absent: Thomas Mitchell, Kathleen Graf, Dr. Zoble Staff Present: Ken Dubuc, Fire Chief; Brian Smith, Police Chief; Catherine Dewey, Secretary NEW BUSINESS: Port Angeles Police Department Report: Excited Delirium Training/Review/Discussion – Chief had distributed material and quiz to the board members and was looking for their feedback. In custody deaths is all over the news right now and Chief is hoping to raise awareness. Chief Smith reviewed the material and educated the board and attendees on what best practice and training entails. Community Oriented Policing – Chief Smith spoke about their expanded REdisCOVERY Program and noted that PD has received a grant from the WASPC for $350,000 which has allowed for program expansion which includes 3 Navigators and a Case Manager. This has a huge impact on the vulnerable population and those on the streets. Port Angeles PD is 1 of 2 who have that program going in WA state. Chief Smith noted that there have been less overall calls but workload had increased. Karl Hatton has a new title as PD Deputy Director for PENCOM operations. The pre-design for the joint EOC, PENCOM, Westside Fire Department is underway and moving forward at this time. Port Angeles Fire Department Report: Chief Dubuc noted that PAFD is extremely busy and that the big difference for them during this time of social distancing is that as an EMS and Fire agency they are running toward those who are sick and unwell. The Department is taking every protective measure as well as monitoring themselves, vehicles and equipment. The safety of the Fire Department employees is his priority right now and they are doing all that they can to stay healthy and safe. Chief believes that we are in this for the long term and that we need to be prepared to continue these practices for a very long time. Chief noted that the Community Paramedicine program is doing extremel y well and they have received funding to hire one more person to assist the Department in supporting that program. Daniel Montana, Community Paramedic, is now allowed to do Covid-19 testing out in the field. Staffing Update - There are 5 new hires slated to begin in the next month. PUBLIC COMMENT: Carolyn Wilcox, City Resident – Would like to implore the PSAB to meet in July and August and she is very interested in all of these issues. She would like to hear from the Board members on their viewpoints as well as why members joined and if there is an interest in having a Citizens’ Review Board as well as how the board represents the diversity of the Port Angeles community. She believes it would be powerful to have someone on the board who has experienced homelessness so that they may share their experiences and perspective. Ingrid Carmean, Cit y Resident – She has been impressed with the Police Department and Fire Department’s involvement with the Community Outreach programs. She has a food pantry in front of her house and is impressed by how caring this community is with their donations. Ingrid expressed frustration with the removal or stealing of property of those living unsheltered. The destruction of these camp sites at this time is a safety risk and should be strongly discouraged per the CDC. Public Safety should be a primary concern of all cities including Port Angeles, Ingrid agreed with Carolyn that the PSAB should continue to m eet over the summer. She also encouraged diversity on the board and to consider including a member of the community who is or has experienced homelessness. Jessica Elofson, County Resident- She is pleased to hear of the PPE that the Police and Fire Department are making a priority. She is hopeful that with the state of unrest in our country and would like to implore the PSAB to meet through the summer as well as allow more individuals to join the board, specifically people of color such as herself. Public Comments that were submitted via email are enclosed. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Alan Oman – Asked Chief Smith about how they handle individuals being apprehended and claiming that they are having difficulty breathing but may be using that as a tactic. Chief Smith stated that if someone makes that claim PD will believe them and will put them in a position of comfort while they call for EMS. Lourene O’Brien – She enjoyed the training and learned a lot. She is willing to meet during the summer if it is needed. She also supports opening a position on the board to specifically include a person of color. Kiara Schmitt – She feels discouraged by the fact that students just feel like this is an extended break and aren’t taking this all seriously. Shana Scott – Spoke directly to those attending that made public comment and fully supports creating a more diverse environment as well as supports meeting over the summer. Shana is proud of our community and how we are all handling this tough time. Teresa Sesma Meyers – found the excited delirium very interesting and she learned a lot. She believes it is our responsibility to demonstrate what we are doing to manage how the people of the Police Department and to share so that there is total transparency. Chief Smith noted that the PD will be meeting with members of the community to do a community forum on policing. ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Barnard adjourned the meeting at 7:12 p.m. The next Scheduled meetings is September 16th, 2020 From: Richie Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2020 4:46 PM To: Brian Smith <Bsmith@cityofpa.us> Subject: Comment: Pubic Safety Advisory Board Meeting yesterday ***EXTERNAL EMAIL*** TO whomever it may concern: I was on the phone during the Advisory Board meeting yesterday and tried to make a comment. I assume due to some technical challenges it was not possible to do so. It seems the public comment process works better and more easily when people are logged in online through the internet. I will be sure to do that next time around. Anyway - if possible i would like my comments to be part of the record and/or considered. My name is Richie Ahuja, and I am a resident of the city of Port Angeles. I second the points made by Carolyn and Ingrid. I am grateful for the city's effort to address public safety. Especially in these times, it is paramount to have regular lines of communication between the public, advisory board, and the representatives from the police, fire, and other concerned agencies. That along with better representation and/or participation of the homeless population, local tribes, and POC, is essential for developing and improving programs, policies, and procedures the community can endorse and uphold. I request the Public Safety Board members heed the call of the people and meet on a monthly basis, thus keeping the lines of communication open with the public and deepening the engagement in ways that are productive. Warm regards, -- Regards, Richie From: Carlos Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2020 3:46 PM To: Catherine Dewey <Cdewey@cityofpa.us> Subject: Public Comment for Safety Board ***EXTERNAL EMAIL*** There are a few comments that come to mind when thinking about Safety in our co mmunity. The entire nation has been addressing the i ssue of people in power and institutions in power NOT being held accountable for immoral, unethical, gross and criminal behavior. From the #metoo move ment to the current Black Lives Matter movement around Police Accountability - Americans everywhere are demanding that the people that are governed by these institutions have a say in the way these institutions are created, shaped, regulated and held accountable. I would like the board to address the Vigilante Situation that has happened in Sequim and Forks. I would like to hear their opinion and where they stand with right wing armed militias patrolling the communities of the Olympic Peninsula. Specifically I want this board to talk about how in this climate of police accountability being questioned across America, how is it possible that some of our leadership bodies and/or members feel ok in supporting people with even less accountability and oversight to pick up arms and hunt people down (referring to right wing constitutionalists/militia/3percenters/etc....). What specific policy or law gives them the power and privilege to decide who the enemy is? The highly publicized lynching case of Ahmaud Arbery sheds light on the terror shed onto a community by people playing vigilante. Ahmaud Arbery was murdered by self proclaimed vigilante s, with "bad" information, that ended up killing a member of the community when trying to conduct a citizens arrest. Are we to wait for this to happen here? Can these type of vigilante actions really be sanctioned by anyone? The III% (three percent) group operates here on the peninsula, what are your views on them? What is the official definition of a gang? How do these groups differ? Or do we see them as the same. In conclusion, many of these vigilante groups hide behind a defense of protecting their community because the police force is just not capable of protecting their town. Where is your stance on thi s? Does local law enforcement think they are ill prepared to protect the community? Do they need help from said vigilantes? Who is the ene my that we need protection from? Thank you for allowing this conversation to start taking shape in our co mmunity. Much Respect, -Carlos P.S - Thi is going to be a long, consistent conversation in order for any progress to be made. Really hope you plan on having more of these meetings throughout the summer, at least monthly. From: Tara Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2020 5:43 PM To: Catherine Dewey <Cdewey@cityofpa.us> Subject: Public Safety ***EXTERNAL EMAIL*** Hi Catherine, My name is Tara Demers and it wa s brought to my attention recently that the PSAB does not plan to meet in July or August. I am disappointed to learn that considering what's been happening around the country. Public safety is a real and concerning issue. I would very much appreciate the board to convene these next few months (special mtg at least??) to discuss how our city is addressing, and continues to address, public safety. There are many citizens who would like to express their concerns re: public safety, especially for our vulnerable populations. Please be a beacon for that. It's important and it's what being a Public Safety Advisory Board member is all about. rs://www.facebooLcam/groups/t 717044558551467/ ;IF •• OO �ma,to Patty ... Valley Creek Cleanup.

I ask that this letter be submitted as a public comment. In your discussion of the PSAB, it is important that you be aware of the work of the Port Angeles Civil Service Commission. As per the official descriptor of the Commission, it is the role of the Civil Service Commission to “investigate concerns and reports on all matters relating to enforcement and effect of these rules(Civil Service); hears and determines appeals of complaints on administrative work of Chief Examiner, and decides on disciplinary actions(when needed) for civil service employees of the City of Port Angeles”. The Civil Service Commission is a statutorily mandated body with a prescribed scope of work. As such, the authority for disciplinary action(s) for the City of Port Angeles Police and Fire departments rests with the Commission. Thank you for your attention to these comments. K. Penney Sanders K. Penney Sanders, PhD Chair, Civil Service Commission From:Penney Sanders To:City Council Subject:attached comment letter Date:Tuesday, August 4, 2020 8:55:13 AM Attachments:City Council letter August 4.docx ***EXTERNAL EMAIL*** In my role as Chair of the Civil Service Commission, please find attached my comments for tonight's City Council meeting and the discussion of changes to the Public Safety Advisory Board. Thank you for your attention to this request. Yes, I am a Port Angeles resident. K. Penney Sanders 360-797-3716 Mailing Address: PO Box 2318 Port Angeles, WA 98362 The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing Edmund Burke Penney Sanders, PhD, CPG Public Comment to Port Angeles City Council - on August 4, 2020: My name is Therese Stokan. I am a resident of Neah Bay, I work in Port Angeles as a family physician, and I care for patients throughout Clallam County. My spouse is a Native American and for more than 30 years, I have witnessed some of the struggles that people of color experience. I want to express my gratitude to the Port Angeles City Council for including the topic of diversity, equity and inclusion on the Public Safety Advisory Board, to be part of today’s meeting. I was really disheartened to hear about the meeting of the Advisory Board, on June 17, when six members of the public, three of which were people of color, came to address their concerns. The failure of one or more members of the Public Safety Advisory Board to be able to comment on public safety, policing and race, at time like this, is inexcusable. Even more disheartening is to hear that someone in a leadership position on the Advisory Board is part of a vigilante group that coordinates with law enforcement to “so-to-speak” “clean-up” homeless camps. While those who are affiliated with these groups claim to be cleaning up “out town”, they are, in fact, part of the vigilante problem that is plaguing our communities. No one says "I want to grow up and be an alcoholic, or a drug addict". The following quote is from the National Institute of Health, in section on the biological basis of addiction: "A common misconception is that addiction is a choice or a moral problem, and all you have to do is - stop." Instead of targeting those struggling with addictions or those experiencing homelessness, our city and county should be focused on incentivizing businesses to provide livable wages, landlords to provide affordable housing and look to the examples of other communities who have had greater success with addressing addictions. I agree with all of the proposed changes to the city code that are being recommended, but I want to add one: No government official, elected nor appointed, shall be part of a vigilante group that is targeting people who are experiencing homelessness, people of color, people with addictions, or people who are considered “outsiders”. We need the members of this Port Angeles City Council to have the will and the fortitude to stand up and do the right thing, at this critical moment in time. We need you to make these critical changes to the city code. We will help you to find new leaders for the Public Safety Advisory Board, and other positions, who share our values and want to create a community rooted in justice for all. Project 20-1237 Port Angeles Pumptrack Letters of Support This document compiles letters of support for our proposal from: - World Pumptrack Champions from the US and Abroad - Organizations that share facilities at Erickson Playfield - Area businesses and recreation organizations including local bike stores, youth cycling teams and adventure sports - Partner cycling organizations - Letters and drawings from a wide range of community supporters, of all ages. Letters from World Pumptrack Champions from the US and Abroad May 26, 2020 To Whom it May Concern My name is Jill Kintner, I am a professional mountain biker, and also a BMX Olympic Bronze medalist from the 2008 Beijing Games, and would like to write a letter in support of the Pump track project in Port Angeles. Over the years, I have attended dozens of Pro Downhill events at Dry Hill as part of the NW Cup, and have seen Port Angeles thrive as one of the best venues in the US, drawing both local and International talent alike. Port Angeles is a “Bike Town” with amazing trails, good restaurants, beautiful landscape, and now it needs a well thought out skills park for future generations to prosper on 2 wheels. In my hometown of Bellingham, WA, I was involved with the local Mtb trail advocacy group – Whatcom County Mountain Bike Coalition (W.M.B.C.), to help build a local public pump track. I raised a little bit of money myself to get the project going, and worked with the city council and parks department to ultimately create the first pump track in Bellingham at Whatcom falls park. The Whatcom Falls Pump track project has been wildly successful, getting more kids and adults outside and off computer screens, which was the purpose of the grant we won (No kid left indoors). It brought our community together through various build days, and also as place to catch up with people and ride. This track offers a safe location to build skills together, learn, and progress as a group. I honestly am amazed at the progress from the kids in my neighborhood in such a short time. Some kids would even get up at 6am before school to ride, showing great passion, and you can outwardly see their confidence grow as humans, which is nice to see. The trail counter we installed was averaging something like 30,000 visits per month in summer (trips through the gate), in a space that was previously unused flat lumpy grass. Since the grand opening of WF pump track in spring 2018, two more pump tracks have been built in different areas of town, and the demand continues. Another big project is approved that will consider bikers alongside different user groups such as dog owners, parents with small kids, spectators, walkers, etc. In conclusion, pump tracks are a great boost to any community. You don’t need a membership to ride, any bike will work, new people show interest in a healthy activity, and it brings a positive interest close to where people live. People will come from all over to ride a new track, and probably stay to see what else Port Angeles has to offer. It will be amazing!! I can’t wait to come for a ribbon cutting ceremony and to ride the Port Angeles Pump track when it is all built. Please let me know if I can do anything more to help. Sincerely, 3 Time Mountain Bike World Champion 25 Time National champion (5 disciplines) 2 Time Pump Track World Champion 5 Time Queen of Crankworx BMX Olympic Medalist www.jillkintner.com (P.S. I have done some Tourism videos for the grand opening for Leavenworth, Whatcom Falls, and also in North Carolina for Gaston County Pump track.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O1kgTn585c https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsa9ZrjBTYk/ Hello City of Port Angeles, My name is Kialani Hines and I am a professional Mountain Bike Racer. I specialize in large events like Crankworx, where I took the overall title in ‘Pump Track Racing’ last year. I was born and raised in Burien, WA where I began racing BMX. I have traveled around the country racing BMX and raced many times over the years in Port Angeles. As a professional athlete, I always encourage healthy and fun ways for families and communities to stay outside and active, especially biking! As someone who does a lot of traveling specifically for riding bikes, I have been able to experience a few Velosolution Pump Tracks and been witness to the positive impact they have on communities. I’ve been to Leavenworth, WA , Temecula, CA , Springdale, AR and Cambridge, New Zealand. At each of these tracks there was a mutual theme, kids and families out on bicycles, scooters, skate board..etc. having a great time. One of the most positive things about Velosolution Pump Tracks is that they do their best at not excluding different sports. Pump tracks are meant to bring communities together! Adding a facility such as this in your community will make a huge positive impact. It gives youth and people of all ages a free way to do something outdoors. It can bring more profit to your local bike shops or stores that sell any types of wheeled sporting equipment. In fact, here in San Diego where I now live, they recently had a pump track open. My local bike shop had never sold a Dirt Jumper Bike which is commonly ridden on Pump tracks. A week after the park was put in the shop had sold three new bikes to people who wanted to get into biking because of the park that was put in. Now this seems small but this is one of many bike shops in SD county that sold 3 bikes in 1 week from a local park opening, that’s big! Beyond that, Port Angeles in the biking community is famous for the mountain bike events held at DryHill (one of my favorite places to ride). It would not just be locals who would love to enjoy such a great experience as a pump track. There are so many cities in the area that still do not have facilities like this. It will attract more out of towners to your area who will in turn spend money in your community. With pump tracks becoming more popular all around the world, it now is a competitive event worldwide. Redbull hosts the ‘Redbull Pump Track World Champs’ which is now an official UCI event held exclusively on Velosolution built tracks! People travel from near and far to participate in this up and coming event, which is growing each year. This gives the opportunity for Port Angeles to host a world class event that would draw people to the community from far and wide. The beautiful thing about biking is that unlike baseball and soccer you don’t need teams to do it! There are no try outs and there are no “you didn’t make the team” to detour you from competing in events like the “Redbull Pump Track World Champs". I grew up an active kid but didn’t enjoy most team sports. When I found biking it gave me an outlet to express myself individually. Now I am racing at the top level and competing at races like "Pump Track World Champs" as my career! I am a firm believer that every city should have a pump track available for anyone to ride. When I was growing up there were not many girls who also loved what I loved. Now I see Velosolution Pump Tracks changing whole communities! A positive, healthy way for communities to share the outdoors is absolutely priceless. This is something that future generations need to stay active and feel connected with their community. I can’t wait to see how it can positively impact Port Angeles! Thank you for your time and I wish Port Angeles all the best, Kialani Hines May 16, 2020 To Whom It Might Concern My name is Danielle Beecroft, I am a professional mountain bike racer from Sydney, Australia. Some of my achievements in Pumptrack include 1st Velosolutions Redbull Pumptrack Indonesia 2018, 1st Velosolutions Redbull Pumptrack Indonesia 2019, Australian 2019 Pumptrack Champion and #3rd 2018 Crankwork World Pumptrack Champion. I have been racing for many years and have been very lucky to have ridden and seen many different pumptracks around the world. I have been to Port Angeles to compete and ride the trails because I love the community and how big the bike culture is there. You could say bike riding in Port Angeles is in their blood. I personally think a pumptrack in Port Angeles would be an incredible addition for an already passionate riding community. A pumptrack will bring opportunity for youth to participate in healthy, outdoor fitness activity and a place to gain and improve bike skills. It would open up the opportunity to expand the riding community and encourage support and enthusiasm for biking. Let’s not forget the amount of people in Port Angeles on skateboards, scooters and inline skates. This pumptrack would provide a great community environment for them too. Port Angeles could also host regional, national and international pumptrack competitions attracting visitors and riders like myself to experience all the other attractions the area has to offer. I sincerely hope that I will be riding a pumptrack in Port Angeles in the foreseeable future! Regards, Danielle Beecroft Letters From Organizations that Share Facilities at Erickson Playfield Post Office Box 416 | Port Angeles, WA 98362 | www.padreamplayground.org The Dream Playground Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation EIN 20-0530145 May 27, 2020 City of Port Angeles 321 E 5th St Port Angeles, WA 98362 Attn: Catharine Copass To Whom It May Concern, On behalf of the Dream Playground Foundation, I am writing to express our enthusiastic support of the proposed pumptrack at Erickson Playfields in Port Angeles. The Dream Playground Foundation is a long-standing nonprofit volunteer organization that was created to support, maintain, and fund the eventual replacement of our community’s largest and most central play structure: the 12,000- square foot Dream Playground at Erickson Playfields. Since building the playground with over 1500 volunteers in 2002, we have been strong advocates of public engagement and recreation at Erickson, and the pumptrack project aligns extremely well with that effort. We are convinced that the best way to remake a public space is to draw the public back into it. To that end, we are about 65% of the way toward funding the full $520,000 volunteer-built replacement of the Dream Playground in June 2021. Our fundraising is all local, and there is no state funding requested for the Dream Playground project. Our goal is to re-create the magic and excitement of Erickson Playfields, and our board feels that this pumptrack would add an ideal and complimentary element for ages at and above the children we serve. Port Angeles is beautiful, but as a small, rural economy, suffers more than many places from economic hardship and poverty. We have the chance to remake and revitalize our small town through projects of this kind. We urge you to give this grant your strongest consideration. Sincerely, Steve Methner, President Dream Playground Foundation Peninsula Tennis Club POB 3325 Sequim, WA 98382 Email: peninsulatennisclub1@gmail.com Website: peninsulatennisclub.net Phone: 360-808-9298 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing representing the Peninsula Tennis Club, a non-profit club of 50 plus members whose mission is to provide and promote recreational tennis activities to players with a wide range of skills and ages in the small towns and communities of the North Olympic Peninsula. Our primary tennis facility is at Erickson Playfield complex in Port Angeles which is a multi-purpose park owned and operated by the City of Port Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation. The Peninsula Tennis Club strongly supports the addition of a Pump Track at the Erickson Playfield complex. Like the tennis courts, we believe the Pump Track will provide a unique year-round healthy recreational opportunity to community members, especially to our youth. The Pump Track could be utilized by much younger and less experienced children than can safely use the skate park that exists at Erickson. BMX is a sport that has seen tremendous growth in our area in recent years. Currently our only BMX facility must shut down for much of the winter due to wet and muddy conditions on a dirt track. The proposed Pump Track will be open and available year-round and will provide a low cost, fun and healthy option for getting outdoors. In addition it will provide an opportunity for organized competition and potentially for regional and state sanctioned competitive events. This would benefit our small rural community by bringing in large numbers of visitors and help support our local economy. The members of the Peninsula Tennis Club are excited about the possible creation of a Pump Track at Erickson Park. We appreciate the support being offered by the City of Port Angeles for this new project, as well as their ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the tennis courts at Erickson Park. Sincerely, Bob Richie Peninsula Tennis Club President P.O. Box 176 Port Angeles, WA 98362 May 1, 2020 Ms. Catharine Copass Lincoln Park BMX South L St. & West Lauridsen Blvd. Port Angeles, WA 98363 lincolnparkbmx@gmail.com Dear Catharine, In what many would consider ancient history there was a time when the phrase, “If your community doesn’t have a skatepark, it is one” came to everyone’s attention. There were youth all over the town riding their skateboards on sidewalks, stair railings, parking lots and seemingly anywhere else they could. The local group of skateboarders had tried for years to create a skatepark and had been unsuccessful. Nor’Wester Rotary was asked to help and over the course of four years rallied the community and fundraised until we had created (what was then) the best skatepark in the Pacific Northwest. The skatepark stopped the problem of youth riding their skateboards in the streets and on the sidewalks and posing a safety risk to both the skateboarders and the public. It brought people from all over to try the park, including a blind skateboarder from British Columbia. It became a venue for contests and events. And now the next generation of children consider the skatepark as a place that has always been there. The park has benefited the community every day that it has been open. It is a great pleasure to hear that your group has taken on the task of taking the recreation area next to the park and turning it into a pump track. It is because of concerned parents and adults like you that our community continues to grow in the ways that benefit our youth and young adults. I cannot speak for other communities but I can tell you that the youth of Port Angeles respect facilities like these and appreciate the opportunities they provide. Our skatepark is close to 20 years old now and in almost pristine condition. Perhaps the greatest benefit to the community is that children engaged in rewarding physical activities are less likely to find themselves in trouble. Your group is dedicated to seeing this continue by providing a facility that will serve Port Angeles and attract others to our community, as the skatepark has. The addition of a pump track park will benefit our youth and our community for generations. We at Nor’Wester Rotary whole heartedly endorse your program and wish you the best in your efforts. Yours Sincerely, Brian Albright, President Nor’Wester Rotary May 16, 2020 To Whom it May Concern, The Port Angeles Bicycle Advisory Committee https://www.portangelesbikes.com/ is on a mission to help people choose active transportation for commuting, daily errands around town, fun, fitness and sport. We advocate for bike infrastructure improvements and sharing info on bike-related events and businesses. We organize Bike Everywhere Month in May, group rides in summer and Port Angeles’ official Bike Friendly Community application. Through our work we see expanding interest in cycling for sport and other purposes in Port Angeles and surrounding Clallam County. Data from Bicycle Count Portal shows over 100 cyclists pass by the Count Portal on the Olympic Discovery Trail in downtown Port Angeles every day https://wsdot.wa.gov/data/tools/bikepedcounts/. We see interest in our May Bike Everywhere Month events growing, attracting nearly 300 participants in 2019. Most importantly, in 2019 we held a bike safety rodeo in conjunction with the Port Angeles Fire Department. Over 125 kids arrived at the rodeo with their bikes, and rode a small course made with cones which taught basic bike handling and safety, and many went home with new helmets. Every one of those kids is a future pumptrack user. Pumptracks are for everyone- any skill level, and a wide variety of bikes. A pumptrack will certainly boost local excitement about cycling significantly and help to continue to grow the sport in the Port Angeles area. Even with the Olympic Discovery Trail, Port Angeles does not provide enough places where adults and children can develop and practice riding skills in a safe environment. A pumptrack could be a great venue for a future bike rodeo and Bike Everywhere Events with our organization. We are excited to support this project, Sincerely, Recoverable Signature X Randall McCoy Chairman Signed by: Randall McCoy Port Angeles Bicycle Advisory Committee of Port Angeles and Clallam County. Letters From Area Businesses and Organizations Dear City of Port Angeles, I am the head coach of the North Olympic Mountain Bike Team (aka NOMBIES), a middle and high school coed mountain bike team for grades 4-12, serving Sequim, Port Angeles and Joyce communities. We are a Clallam County 4-Fl club. Our tearn is open to any kid- no biking experience required. I started the team here to introduce kids to mountain biking and provide an alternative to traditional team sports. Team sporls just don't work for every kid- a mountain bike team gives kids the opportunity for the camaraderie of a team sport while competing as an individual" One major benefit of a bike team is that everyone gets to be on the team- no tryouts required- and girls and boys train, ride and compete together. lt's a good way for kids to grow their social skills and make friends from all over the area. Participation in NOMBIES shows that locally mountain biking is starting to iake off as a youth sport and it's bringing adults in too.

From a coach's perspective a pumptrack is a much easier location forteaching skills since kids are contained in one central spot ratherthan spread out on a trail. We could expand our recruitment for girls by hosting girls nights at pumptrack. The pumptrack would be a great practice venue for our team- sprint laps and pumping would build fitness fast. We want to have weekday practices after school, which can be difficult in the fall since the daylight is short and the trails take time to drive to. We could have practice right after school and some kids could even bike to practice. Having other kids see us there practicing could build interest in the team. A pumptrack in Port Angeles would be very beneficialfor kids in town in general. A pumptrack is a per-fect way to introduce kids to the skills they need for riding. The pumptraok would be more accessible than the BMX track, which is open during a limited part of the year and can seem very intimidating. The pumptrack would be a great way to get the very young kids on strider bikes sonrewhere safe to practice and ride, and a fun place for parents and kids to ride together as a farnily. There are other general benefits to a pumptrack in Port Angeles.

Sincerely, Tom Kendall Head Coach, North Olympic Mountain Bike Team \*-.---.-,=t^ May 18, 2020 City of Port Angeles 321 E. 5th Street Port Angeles WA 98362 I support the construction of a pump track in Port Angeles, Washington. As the owner of a company that produces endurance sports events in the Port Angeles area, I know first-hand the value of outdoor recreation to both the health and economy of the community. Peninsula Adventure Sports offers running, cycling, and multi-sport races. Over 1500 athletes and their families come to the Olympic Peninsula each year to enjoy our events, and while they are here, they spend money in our local businesses and enjoy the other activities that our area has to offer. A pump track will offer another activity for these families to enjoy on their visit, improving and potentially extending their stay. The Washington Governor’s Blue Ribbon Task Force on Outdoor Recreation conducted a report finalized in 2014 which concluded that the benefits of outdoor recreation translate into “healthier kids, lowered health care costs, less absenteeism in the workplace, and decreases in juvenile crime.” A pump track will provide a valuable outdoor recreation opportunity for youth. As a race director, I want the next generation of athletes to have a place to learn skills and get them excited about biking. A pump track is a perfect compliment to our growing bicycle infrastructure. The Olympic Discovery Trail and Dry Hill Mountain Bike Park have expanded over the past years. The Lincoln Park BMX track has been completely refurbished and there is a resurgence of interest in BMX. A new mountain bike skill park, Colville Trails, has been established. Interest in cycling has never been stronger! Best Regards, City of Port Angeles 321 E 5th Street Port Angeles, WA 98362 Subject: Port Angeles Bicycle Pump Track – Letter of Support Dear City Official, Sound Bikes & Kayaks strongly supports the addition of a bicycle pump track at the Erickson Field Complex. It is the right time for this project in our community. We have seen the steady growth of bike riding in Clallam County over the last three years. Specifically, youth bike purchases have increased 35% between 2017 and 2019. It is an overwhelmingly positive development as more local youths are building the foundation of a healthy lifestyle through riding. Key catalysts for this growth have been expansion of the Olympic Discovery Trail, resurgence of Lincoln Park BMX, construction of the MTB skills park at Colville Trails, and the successful NW Cup race series at Dry Hill. Local schools are joining the effort via Washington’s Safe Routes to School Grant Program – improving bike safety near school grounds and purchasing fleets of bikes for students to learn riding fundamentals. We are emerging as a true bike riding community. A pump track folds into this bike-centric momentum our community has created. Importantly, it provides a safe environment for youths to (a) develop critical bike handling skills that will contribute to a lifetime of riding and (b) build friendships with other riders based on healthy activities. Sound Bikes & Kayaks is excited about this project. We support – and are standing by to assist – the City of Port Angeles in their efforts to secure a Youth Area Facility Grant to help with funding. The pump track will be a significant addition to our riding community with a strong focus on benefiting our local youths. Sincerely, Troy Treaccar Owner, Sound Bikes & Kayaks Letters From Partner Cycling Organizations Lincoln Park BMX May 26, 2020 City of Port Angeles 321 East 5th Street Port Angeles, WA 98362 RE: Proposed Pump Track Erickson Field One of Lincoln Park BMX’s main purposes is to educate and increase fitness and wellness levels of our community, we feel that the proposed Pump Track in Port Angeles would do exactly that and also create a valuable asset for the community. The City has supported the improvements to the BMX track, and in 3 short years, the participation has increased 220%, the BMX track is now one of the top tracks in Washington state and is located in one of the smallest population areas. Each year Port Angeles is seeing an increase in bike activities from riding the Discovery Trail to riding Colville trails to racing Dry Hill and many others. Adding a pump track does multiple things for our community, it adds one more activity for people of all ages to enjoy and it also will provide a year-round facility for locals to learn better bike skills in a Park type environment. A pump track can accommodate scooters and skateboards as well. A pump track will help draw people to Port Angeles, we know numerous families that stop in Leavenworth on their way back from Eastern Washington, even though i t is out of the way. Where else can you go skiing, surfing, and biking in one location? The pump track just adds to the available activities to bring people here. We have shown our commitment to the project by helping volunteer to keep the project moving as well as contributing funds to the project as well. We look forward to making Port Angeles one of the hot spots in Washington for bike activities. Lincoln Park has already committed $2,000 towards the project and will contribute another $7,500 towards the project if the project becomes a reality. Thank you Sean Coleman President & Track Operator May 24, 2020 Re: Pumptrack Opportunity in Port Angeles To Whom It May Concern: My name is Scott Tucker and I am the co-director of the NW Cup Downhill Mountain Bike Series. The NW Cup is based out of Port Angeles, but we have races in Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and other parts of Washington. I have been directing mountain bike events for about 15 years now, as well as other cycling and multisport events. Port Angeles is known throughout the mountain biking world as a “world-class” destination. The trail systems, the natural beauty, the events, and access all add up to the Olympic Peninsula being on most riders’ target to visit at some point. Hosting races has given me the opportunity to travel to other bicycling destinations up and down the West Coast and while they all have their own strengths, none quite add up to what we enjoy here. With one exception, a pump track. Wherever we go, you can usually find a pump track crawling with kids of all ages riding next to expert level adults enjoying the same track in their own ways. You can spend half a day working on your skills and getting a proper workout, or add it to either end of day of riding the trails in the area. It is a safe, controlled environment to hone the skills needed to excel on trails and our local BMX track, which can be fairly intimidating to the new rider. Our NW Cup Downhill events attract 400-500 participants as well as family and support, at least two weekends a year, 3 days at a time. Our trail system also brings people to self-recreate every day of the year. Having a pump track for them to use would show the commitment Port Angeles has to cycling and recreation as a whole. For the last 10 years, NW Cup has focused our growth on the youth, providing beginner focused tracks suited to younger age groups. This has caused an explosion in attendance that is still resonating as starting kids early is the way to create life-long cyclists. Bicycles have always been, and still are such a huge part of my life, I find myself obsessed with providing that opportunity any way I can. Supporting a pump-track in our town is another piece to that puzzle of helping kids, and all people for that matter in our community make healthy choices. To sum it up, I am in full support of Port Angeles investing in a pump track. I look forward to seeing people of all backgrounds recreating together in a healthy, safe environment. Scott Tucker 360-797-4288 May 12, 2020 City of Port Angeles, I am writing on behalf of the local non-profit mountain bike trails development group, Top Left Trails Co-Op, in support of the Velosolutions Pumptrack. This pumptrack will provide numerous positive opportunities for our community in Port Angeles and the surrounding area and we enthusiastically support this project. The pumptrack will be the chance for kids and families at all skill levels to participate in a year- round outdoor activity. Our community needs opportunities for kids to remain active during the darker days of winter (as well as long days of summer) and is a fun way to get out and bond as a family. It will also be a great resource for improving bike handling skills for those that participate in the local NOMBIES middle school/high school mountain bike team, Lincoln Park BMX racers and those participating in the NW Cup downhill mountain bike races. The fact that our area has these three high quality competitive outlets is amazing and should be supported and encouraged by our community. Riding on a pumptrack is great strengthening for the upper and lower extremities as well as core training which translates to perfect cross training for any other athletic activity. The skills learned on a pumtrack don’t just translate to the sport that you are practicing in, but also provides cross training for any other athletic activity. It will also help children develop confidence as they develop new skills. In addition, the pumptrack will provide great chance for safe and fun exercise with a low barrier to entry for many in our community as many types of equipment can be used on the pumptrack including; bikes, scooters, inline skates and skateboards. While there is always risk of injury with these activities the risk is relatively low on a pumptrack. We are hopeful that the pumptrack will encourage children and families to develop strong social relationships with each other as they participate in a safe, healthy and enjoyable activity. We look forward to helping in anyway possible to assist in facilitating the pumptrack moving forward. Spencer Larsen, Secretary Top Left Trails Co-Op Letters and Drawings from Community Supporters Support of Grant Proposal for a Velosolutions Pump Track in the City of Port Angeles on the Great Olympic Peninsula of Washington To Whom it May Concern: Please accept this letter from our family as indication of strong local support for the installation of a Velosolutions pump track at Erickson Playfield in the City of Port Angeles. The biking opportunities on the Olympic Peninsula is one of the primary reasons we moved to Port Angeles four years ago. However, as we have expanded our family, we continue to realize the great need for more biking opportunities in the center of the town and in close proximity to other family friendly parks. A Velosolutions pump track would be a perfect playground for our entire family. It provides an opportunity for our children to participate in a healthy, outdoor fitness activity in the convenience of our city. And it would be a fun activity for us adults too! More importantly, the establishment of a Velosolutions pump track in our city would provide a much-needed healthy activity for our entire community. Children need as many options as possible to be encouraged to be healthy, fit and active. The skills obtained on a pump track can teach basic physical education concepts. It can also become a place where the community can come together and expand community support and enthusiasm for biking. A Velosolutions pump track would also complement the internationally recognized neighboring bike infrastructure, including the Olympic Discovery Trail and Dry Hill. Lastly, it could be a safe place for recovery following the pandemic. Please support this grant application for the fantastic City of Port Angeles! Sincerely, The Brekke Family Chris, Allyson, Vincent (6) and Thea (1) Anthony Jones 315 Shade Tree Lane Port Angeles, WA 98362 To Whom it May Concern, My name is Anthony Jones and I am a twelve year old state champion BMX racer from Port Angeles. I would like to build a pump track in Port Angeles with your support. The reason that I think Port Angeles would be suitable for a pump track is that it would make people ride a lot more because the location for the pump track is central, next to the skate park, easy to get to, and easy to ride. It would introduce a new world of biking to a lot of different people. Port Angeles is a town made for biking, with downhill, BMX, street, park, trail, and road bikers everywhere. I think that the more biking the better. Biking makes everyone happier and happy people are the best people.

A pump track would make for a year round spot for bicycle and wheel enthusiasts to build and maintain bike skills and health. This would be a nice addition to the other recreation possibilities currently present in the Port Angeles area. I have been riding bmx for 25 years, having access to spots is crucial for creating life long passion and commitment. Thank you, Beeler Van Orman 850EDF1B-5ED1-452B-A9B1-E2422AD39E53.jpeg 222K City of Port Angeles, We need a pump track in Port Angeles because it will bring more people to the area and it will also help keep bikers out of the skate park. When we went to Leavenworth, Washington they had both a skate park and a pump track. This allows the skater to skate without having to worry about bikers being in their way. If people knew we had a pump track, we could potentially host Red Bull pump track competitions. That would bring more people and more money to the community of Port Angeles. If this pump track is approved and built we could have sponsored pump track competitions just like the skateboarding competitions that have occurred here. A pump track is a great place for riders to expand their skills, if a rider needs to develop bike control, cornering skills or learn how to use their body to gain momentum “pumping” around the track, a pump track would be the best place to learn. At a pump track you can constantly find new lines to ride, this is different from a BMX track because it has a directional course. Thank you for reading this letter and I hope you choose to support Port Angeles in the development of a pump track. Citizen of Port Angeles, Cooper Berry (age 14) May 18, 2020 To: Port Angeles City Council From: Campbell Kirkman, PE Teacher Re: Port Angeles Pumptrack proposal I am writing in support of the proposal to build a pumptrack in Port Angeles. As a PE teacher and coach for the Port Angeles School District I believe the pumptrack will provide a unique and exciting way for kids to be physically active outside of school. And it sure looks like fun! This is precisely the type of healthy and engaging activity that our city should be promoting for kids and families to enjoy together. As an elementary PE teacher, I teach a bicycle and pedestrian safety unit with my 5th and 6th graders. A few years ago our district earned a grant targeting 5th-8th graders. It included 30 bikes for students to ride and practice those safety skills. The kids are very excited to ride the bikes in PE. I always conclude the unit by taking the students on a biking field trip off the school campus. It would be awesome to make that field trip to the pumptrack facility. If each elementary school and the middle school went that would be up to 1200 students who would use the pumptrack facility each year. When I teach the unit I am always surprised by number of students who have not yet learned how to ride a bike. The most common reason is because they don’t have a good place to practice riding. Building the pumptrack in Port Angeles would provide that safe, free, and accessible facility to ride. It will increase the number of kids who engage in the healthy activity of cycling. I also coach the running sports of cross country and track. Running is a fantastic cardiorespiratory endurance activity, but it can be hard on the body. We encourage our athletes to cross-train by doing other cardio activities such as biking and swimming. The pumptrack would provide another outlet for them to build endurance, and potentially to compete. I could see us bringing our teams to the pumptrack to train on occasion. That would be up to 150 athletes using the facility for their cardio training. I appreciate the effort to apply for the State Youth Athletic Facilities Grant to bring a pumptrack to Port Angeles. Any investment in the health and well-being of our youth is a wise investment for our community. Wishing you good health! Campbell Kirkman Campbell Kirkman K-6 PE Specialist Franklin Elementary Port Angeles, WA ckirkman@portangelesschools.org Dear City of Port Angeles, My name is Clara and I am 9 years old. I have been riding bikes for almost as long as I can remember. I have done all types of bike riding; road, mountain, cross country, downhill, a little BMX, and tried cycle-cross. I would like to see Port Angeles have a pump track because it will give people a chance to be more active. At first, I did not know what a pump track was until I watched a video of a Red Bull pump track competition with my brother and my dad. I have ridden the dirt pump track at Colville Trails and the paved Leavenworth, Washington pump track. I volunteered and helped Top Left Trails Co-op make the pump track at Colville Trails, it was a lot of fun. I like riding on a pump track because of the smooth berms and the going with the flow motion over the pumps. It would be fun to ride the pump track with my friends, even if they don't have a bike they can ride skateboards, scooters and roller skates on the track. I think maybe even wheelchairs could go around the track and that would be fun, exciting and a blast to ride with. Thank you for considering a pump track and for taking the time to read this letter. Your biking friend, Clara Berry May 18, 2020 Dear City of Port Angeles: We are writing in support of the proposed Port Angeles Velosolutions pumptrack. Having resided in Port Angeles for 18 years, we’ve raised our now 16 and 17 year old daughters here, and are enthusiastic supporters of this excellent addition to our community’s recreational opportunities. Port Angeles being a small town far removed from recreational facilities, common to larger towns and cities, is a fantastic location to bring this exciting outdoor activity to. Our town has already shown commitment and great demand for existing skate and BMX parks. The pumptrack would expand wheeled recreational options to youth of all ages. We are healthcare professionals with a focus on Family Medicine (Paul) and Pediatric Nursing (Pam). We witness every day the importance of providing members of our community with wholesome, safe, and fitness focused activities. The patients and families we care for depend on such opportunities for physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. When youth in a small town see others participating and excelling in cycling and related activities and competitions it inspires them to participate, resulting in improved wellness and reduced temptations towards other less productive endeavors. Compared to the BMX and skate park, the latter of which our 16-year-old daughter Fiona takes advantage of, the possibility of adding a pumptrack is particularly exciting for our family. Our 17-year-old daughter Poppy has cerebral palsy and uses a power wheelchair. She loves speed, hanging with other teens, and participating in activities that are inclusive to her. The pumptrack offers such an opportunity for those in manual or power wheelchairs. The pumptrack would be an exhilarating boost to our town’s youth and young adult recreational offerings. We offer our enthusiastic endorsement. On behalf of our family, our patients, and our town’s diverse youth we thank you for your consideration of this grant proposal.

I have previously mostly come for hiking but the last 2 years have come for mountain biking as well. I was so excited to hear that there would soon be a sweet pump track to visit in between trails. My husband in particular loves pump tracks so this is a big plus and would be a deal breaker if we were deciding between two destinations.

In addion t o being a long me r esident of Port Angeles, I would like to point out that my qualificaons include ha ving a Bachelor's degree in Outdoor Recreaon, being in volved with the inial ins tallaon of the P ort Angeles Skateboard Park (early 2000's), having traveled to several pump tracks throughout North America and having over 10 years of Cat 1 mountain bike racing experience. I only point out my experiences to help emphasize my understanding of what a pump track is and what it can contribute to our community. The local benefits of a pump track are quite impressive. Most importantly is how inclusive pump tracks become. A well designed pump track is something that is welcoming to novice cyclists as well as expert level cyclists. This is different from a skate board park that is generally designed for advanced skaters and can o en be inmida ng f or novice or less experienced people wanng t o parcipa te. Pump tracks are welcoming to all levels of parcipan ts, its common to see mulple g eneraons of f amilies using a pump track at the same me. Fr om young kids on Strider bikes to older adults on mountain bikes. Pump tracks are very much something for the enr e family to uliz e. Another thing worth poinng out is tha t the inmida on f actor for a pump track is much less than that of a skate park. This is because cycling culture is more inclusive and the skills required for enjoying a pump track safely are extremely basic. Pump tracks can be a great way for urban residents to be introduced to several aspects of cycling that o en will grow as they spend more me on bik es. Pump tracks are a gateway to organized BMX racing, mountain biking, bicycle commung and e ven road cycling. Building the cycling community in Port Angeles has mulple bene fits and a pump track is a substanal f oundaon f or that future local cycling community. A well designed pump track is funconal in w et weather (unlike an uncovered skate park), and requires very lile long t erm maintenance. Just about any type of bicycle will work on a pump track, expensive equipment is not required. Beyond the direct benefits to our Port Angeles residents is the economical benefits a pump track would provide through tourism. Pump tracks bring people in as a desna on. A g ood pump track is well known and people will travel (or stay longer) to use a good pump track in Port Angeles. Places like Leavenworth Wa, Bellingham, Wa, Nanaimo B.C., and Bend Or, all have excellent pump tracks that have become desna ons f or families on vacaon. Ther e is no reason Port Angeles shouldn't be on that list. We currently host world class mountain bike races at Dry Hill as well as have a renowned BMX track. A pump track would 5/20/2020 Gmail - (edited, use this one) Port Angeles Pump Track https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=13c767d701&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f%3A1667248641640614631%7Cmsg-f%3A1667248641640…2/2 be visited by these same folks already coming to Port Angeles, they will stay longer and spread the word of what is here, in turn pung mor e tourism dollars into our economy. Addionally an un told number of cyclists pass through Port Angeles when traveling on the Coho ferry to and from Canada. Brish Columbia (including Vancouver Island) is the world's most popular desna on f or mountain biking. Many of those folks traveling to Brish Columbia f or cycling vacaons pass righ t through Port Angeles on the way to the Coho Ferry. Having a pump track will draw those folks briefly passing through, to stay a lile long er and contribute even more to our local economy. Currently we are not capitalizing on the amount of cyclists passing through Port Angeles to and from B.C. which is a huge economic miss. A centrally located pump track would draw in these passer-by's to stop and stay a lile long er. Lastly, I can not think of a be er cost to benefit investment for the residents of Port Angeles. It would be a win for community health, as well as for local businesses. Sincerely, Erik Dukes 1-360-640-1341 8 May 2020 To: The City of Port Angeles I am writing this letter to encourage the city to support the proposal to build a bicycle pump track. I live in Port Angeles and I have 2 sons that are avid bicyclists and it would be great if they had a track in town where they could ride. Port Angeles has other cycling opportunities in the area but they require specialized equipment and they require vehicle support from parents to get the kids to the venue. A pump track in the middle of town would allow kids with regular bikes to get themselves to the track and engage in healthy, outdoor physical activities. In addition, the track would provide a venue for competitions that could bring economic benefits to Port Angeles.

A new pump track of the quality proposed would certainly provide benefits outweighing the cost. The proposed pumptrack will be relatively inexpensive to build and maintain in comparison to other City parks and spaces. The park will allow and be very fun for bikes, skateboards, inline skates and scooters, which is unique in the City in comparison to the BMX race track, skatepark, and mountain bike trails. The park will be open to all during all park hours, which is also unique in comparison to the aforementioned parks. This will make it a great place for any-weather get- togethers, which can be tough in this area. As a mountain biker and volunteer at Dry Hill Bike Park (where the ProGRT national bike races are held), I see how much of a tourist attraction bike competitions are in this area. This park will meet the parameters of Redbull/ UCI (highest level international) competitions, which will go well with or independent of other local mountain bike races. The park will also not provide nearly the safety liability of the BMX track or skate park, as it will have lower speeds and low impact. My son who is 4 absolutely loves pumptracks and has been enjoying them since he was about 1.5 yrs old. I have attached a picture of him at 2yrs old at the Colville trails from the PDN. I have never seen anyone try a pump track without positive results and I look forward to seeing the community embrace it. Please approve the construction of the proposed pumptrack!

It was really fun. I went on big rollers. I like that one. I went there with my cousins. I hope that we can have one here in Port Angeles. I got a new bike to take to the pump track too. Heidi Kiddle - Age 8 To whom it may concern, My name is Hudson Soelter and I lived in Port Angeles for the first 18 years of my life, and now I spend the majority of the year in Bellingham as a student and my summers in Port Angeles working. Port Angeles will always be my home and I will forever be grateful to the community and the people for making me who I am. When I was a freshman Port Angeles High School I was introduced to the sport of Downhill Mountain biking along with the North West Cup. This was a major turning point for me and changed my lifestyle entirely. I became a super active person and I now enjoy all kinds of outdoor recreational activities such as biking, skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding and more. I now live in Bellingham which I like to call the Young Persons Port Angeles. Bellingham has shown me how much potential Port Angeles has, we can take an already amazing area and community and continue to vitalize it. A Velosolutions pump track is an excellent step towards a brighter future for this place we all love. I have seen firsthand what biking and other sports can bring to a community in fact just last summer the city of Bellingham had a dirt pump track put in on the water front. This pump track is constantly busy (when it isn’t too wet to ride) and makes biking that much more accessible to not just advanced bikers but families and most importantly children. Not only will the pump track be a place to gather, it will no doubt bring in tourists and with tourism comes money, which will help support local businesses. Events and places like the North West Cup, Lincoln Park BMX track and even our skate park all contribute to the personality of our town, I would argue they put Port Angeles on the map. Adventure tourism is the future of Port Angeles no doubt, especially in an area where nature is so prevalent. When I moved to Bellingham I was integrated in to a community of mountain bikers, and many of them have been to Port Angeles before, others have since come to visit on my recommendation, or have accompanied me home to race at the North West Cup in the spring. But all of them can agree that Port Angeles is amazing, let’s give people more reasons to keep saying that! Thank you for your consideration. -Hudson Soelter Dear City of Port Angeles 5-3-2020 I remember going to the bike park in Nanaimo B.C. where they have a little bit long bike track. I want one of those here. I really want to build one. I had fun at it. I really want to go on it again. I hope that we build one here. I would be happy and have lots of fun at the pump track.

I would hope that you would consider port angeles for a pump track for many reasons. Port angeles has become a popular destination for the biking community and i feel that a pump track would add to that. The city park in which its designated for is centered within the city and is easily accessible for people of all ages. Its very important for people of all ages to enjoy outdoor activities and this pump track would allow other bike enthusiasts to stay in shape during their off season. With the Dream playground and skatepark within the same complex, I think it would be a great hub for the city's outdoor activities that would not be limited to gender, age or ability. Jason Groves GROVES CRANE (360)460-7858 WWW.GROVESCRANE.COM Get TypeApp for Android Joseph Ritchie 5-5-2020 A Pump track in our town would be amazing. Pump Tracks are a place to learn and practice while having lots of fun with friends. You learn some of the fundamentals of biking in an extremely low risk environment such as pumping and cornering basics. For higher level riders it is just as useful, you can learn how to manual, jump and be fast! I have gone to bike races out of state in Idaho and Oregon and stopped at pump tracks along the way because there isn’t one in or close to Port Angeles. If we had a pump track it would push more people to learn to bike and more people would ride their bikes. It pushes eco friendly transportation and gives kids a place to go and have fun with friends. On a pump track you can have lots of riders on at the same time so people don’t have to sit around and wait for their turn all the time like at a skate park. The closest one to Port Angeles is in Tacoma which is over an hour and a half drive and doesn’t make sense to go there for a day. If there was one in the center of our town then it would get lots and lots of people using it each day from around the town and people would come in from Sequim and other neighboring towns. I know that that is true because we have people come from Port Orchard and Kingston each and every weekend for the BMX races at Lincoln Park BMX Track. For the Northwest Cup Downhill Mountain bike races at Dry Hill we get almost 500 racers with their family’s and friends all the way from Montana and California and some have even come in from Colorado. For both of these events a pump track would be an amazing place to warm up before heading to compete against other racers. -Joseph Ritchie 13 years old To whom it may concern, I am writing this email to the City of Port Angeles in regards to building a Velosolutions pumptrack. This email will outline several key points why a pumptrack would benefit our community. As a healthcare professional living in Port Angeles, I understand the importance of exercise and outdoor activities. Our kids and community need as many opportunities to participate in outdoor sports. Studies show the importance of children participating in sports and outdoor activities for their mental and physical health. Building a pumptrack in Port Angeles, provides an opportunity for youth to participate in healthy, outdoor fitness. Additionally, this track increases access for multiple sports in a family friendly environment. Providing a space for bikes, skateboards, inline skates and scooters to all enjoy their sport. This track creates a safe place for youth to improve their skills and build enthusiasm in their outdoor activity while also building healthy community. Through Velosolutions, Redbull and UCI we can host regional, national and international pumptrack competitions. This is important for our community for attracting attention and out of town visitors. Bringing more people to our town will help the local economy grow and increase our offerings. This pump track will also complement our other regional bike infrastructure, which includes the Olympic Discovery Trail, Colville Trails, Dry Hill and BMX track. This is important for our community for bringing talent, and growing talent naturally and locally. Assisting our youth to be passionate in outdoor activities will have long lasting benefits individually and for communal health. In conclusion, bringing in a Velosolutions pumptrack will have many lasting benefits for our community. Increasing opportunities for our youth to participate in outdoor activities will increase their health and the health of the community. It will also provide a family friendly space for all ages to participate in a range of sports. Ultimately, this track will also bring more interest to our town and bring more traffic which will benefit the local economy. Thank you for your consideration in bringing the Velosolutions to our community. Sincerely, Kassandra Yager 5.15.2020 City of Port Angeles To Whom It May Concern, I am writing this letter in support of the proposed Pump Track in Port Angeles. First, a little history about myself and my family: I am a wife, married to Sean Coleman and a mother of two children, Taylor age 16 and Cash age 13. Both of my kids have been riding bikes for years. When my son was about 6 months old I won a Strider bike in a raffle, upon much research we found out how useful these bikes could be for learning to ride without the use of training wheels. He started trying to ride this bike at about 14 months old and mastered it in no time. For his 3rd birthday we bought him a peddle bike and he rode it as if he had been riding for years; there is no transition from Strider bike to a peddle bike because the real challenge is balance which they already have mastered by that time. Once he was on the peddle bike we started looking into bike sports; that is when we found BMX…fast forward many years and we learned of the first paved pump track built in Washington, located in Leavenworth. Both of the kids were anxious to try it out. We take the kids to BMX tracks all over the state of Washington, so on the way back from Spokane one time we diverted to Leavenworth to try it out; the kids were in Heaven! We since have taken the long diverted trip to Leavenworth on many occasions when we were on the East side of the mountains visiting BMX tracks; every time is as fun, or more fun, than their first trip there. Many times they start planning the trip and inviting their friends to join them at the Pump track on their way home too. One of the main reasons I believe Port Angeles is a good place for a Pump Track is that there is also a BMX track, downhill mountain biking and the Olympic Discovery Trail; all bringing many people into the area for biking sports and this track would be a great addition for locals and visitors. This track would also give kids, adults and families another option for an outdoor sport. The Pump Track would be open to the public, therefore it will be easy to access for many people’s schedules. Good, well designed Pump Tracks such as the proposed one by Velosolutions could lead to hosted events in Port Angeles which will bring in revenue from participants and spectators from out of the area. Pump tracks help bike riders learn, practice and master skills that they use in other areas of riding. Had Port Angeles had a Pump Track when my kids were little, I have no doubt they would have been riding it any chance they had. I truly hope you consider doing whatever is possible with the means you have to make this Pump Track become a reality. Thank you for your time, Lori Coleman Past Vice President of Lincoln Park BMX May 18, 2020 To Whom it May Concern, I am writing in support of the City’s efforts to obtain funding for a pump track proposed for Erickson Playfield. Like most grandparents, my husband and I find great joy in watching and supporting our grandchildren as they build skills and confidence — and have fun with their friends — through sports activities. Several years ago, a bad stroke put my husband in a wheelchair, making it difficult — in most instances impossible — for him to see his grandsons in action at their BMX and mountain-biking events. We are thrilled at the prospect of a pump track at Port Angeles’ Erickson Playfield that will make it possible for bicycling enthusiasts to hone their skills — and to do so at a place that is easily accessible to the cyclists, to all members of their families and to the wider public. The plan for the pump track includes features that will be fun for those who use it — whether the users are very young beginners, youth or adults. The plan also envisions observation spots that spectators such as my husband can access — in order to watch and cheer-on the participants. Cycling of all sorts is rising in popularity as a family sport. The North Olympic Peninsula is fortunate to have a variety of cycling opportunities used by locals and visitors alike: miles of paved trails in the lowlands, a growing number and variety of single-tracks in the hills and woodlands and a BMX race track at Lincoln Park. The pump track will be an exciting complement to these other opportunities for participation in bicycling. The facility will also be unique among local bicycling venues in providing workable access for all who want to view the sport and to be close to the kids and grandkids who so much enjoy it. Sincerely, Lucy A. Copass City of Port Angeles, In these unprecedented times, with all the uncertainty, riding bikes is one of the things that helps me manage life. Whether it be riding from my house down to Ediz Hook, to going for a cross country ride on the Olympic Adventure Trail, getting out on my bike always helps to change my mood for the better. The thought of adding a pump track to the biking options our town has to offer brings me much joy. A few years ago, a handful of local ladies and myself formed a riding group called Team Laser Kittens. We provide support to lady riders, coordinate group rides, trail building events and mountain bike clinics. A pump track would be a huge asset not only to the community, but also to the local lady riders and their families. A pump track can be a great tool to complement a riders’ skills on and off the trails. With that said, it would complement the other regional bike infrastructure (Olympic Discovery Trail, Colville Trails, Dry Hill, BMX track). I look forward to helping with this project in the future.

Kids need as many fun and healthy activities as possible to keep busy. Having the track centrally located would mean many families would be able to use it. As a city with bike culture that's quickly growing, a pump track will be the perfect addition. Sincerely, Lara Hernandez 20190824_192919.jpg 3621K 5/18/2020 To the City of Port Angeles, I write in support of the construction of a Velosolutions pumptrack in Port Angeles. Part of what made me want to move to Port Angeles was the feeling that there was healthy growth and development taking place in this already amazing location. The development of a pumptrack here would be another example of Port Angeles’ continued growth in a healthy, sustainable, and progressive manner. The pumptrack would support our youth in healthy activities and choices. It would provide an opportunity right here in town for people to get on bikes, skateboards, skates and scooters that they have been riding for years, or that they are just starting out on for the first time. It will provide a place for all ages to be active and outside together, including families. It will also be a huge asset to the city, as it will create yet another draw for people from out of town. It could be the host facility for national, and even international, competitions, boosting our tourism industry. I know I personally look forward to enjoying the pumptrack with my husband and young boys, as well as my local friends, and those who come visit our beautiful town. It will be a really great addition to the town. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Lusana Schutz schutzlusana@gmail.com 307-690-2707 Dear City of Port Angeles I am writing to you in regards to the planned asphalt pumptrack to be built near the current skate park and dream playground. I would like to hereby declare my whole hearted support of it. In short this would be an awesome and great addition not only to the current sports and activity center in the area but to Port Angeles as a whole. I'm sure as you are well aware, but a pumptrack is a rolling track either made out of dirt or a solid surface like asphalt or cement. People that participate in any sort of wheeled activity instantly recognize it as a sign of fun. Imagine how much fun rollercoasters were as kids. Now imagine that with no lines and no post-ride…… well you get the picture. I frequently travel out of Port Angeles for family and friends Mountain biking trips. Locations for these are mostly in the PNW. Such as, Vancouver island, Whistler, Hood River, Anchorage, Alaska, Olympia, Seattle and Issaquah. Invariably during these trips we will spend time at a local bike park and/or pumptrack. Both in Hood River, OR and Nanaimo, B.C. there are asphalt pumptracks much like the one we are proposing here. We naturally have a great time and a lot of our positive family memories revolve around these locations. Not only is pumptrack a great family activity and outlet for local kids, but it adds to the quiver of bike related attractions to our area. This, therefore increases the likelihood of bike related tourism. In Squamish B.C., a town smaller in size that Port Angeles, bike related tourism generated almost $10 million in revenue in 20161. Some may be resistant to more traffic and tourism in our community but I think the general good and significant resources that it brings with it will outweigh any negatives. Please reach out to me with any concerns or questions you may have about this great addition to our community.

There are many reasons why building the pump track would benefit the city. Firstly, it would be an excellent, family friendly place for people of all ages to learn a new skill, practice biking skills, and participate in a healthy activity. Secondly, because it would be associated with the UCI, it would draw both competitors and race watchers to the area. This would stimulate the local economy and draw more visitors to the area on a regular basis. Lastly, having a pump track in Port Angeles would be a welcome addition to the other trail systems in the area. The pump track would complete the variety of biking options available in the area.

It is a huge benefit to our community to have accessible outdoor activities for people of all ages, especially when it is adjacent to other facilities serving a range of age groups (Dream Playground, skate park, Civic Field). The north Olympic Peninsula is gaining a reputation as a destination for mountain biking, and BMX biking near the airport has only grown in popularity even though it has been available for decades. A pumptrack would give local kids a chance to learn and practice new bike skills, meet others who enjoy the sport, and learn about local BMX, trail riding, and downhill mountain biking opportunities. A pumptrack is a natural extension of the active outdoor lifestyle that is Port Angeles, one that especially serves its youth. Let’s help kids of ALL ages!

We are on our way to Port Orchard today to ride, with social distancing. I have the track for one hr. for just us. I know riders would come from all over western Washington to play on a pump track. The benefit for our local kids would be incredible. I am 66 yrs. Old and would be on it with them. I can not put a dollar amount on outdoor physical activity for our kids. I could go on and on, but I think you got the picture we and our team are all for this and hope it can happen. 5/13/2020 Gmail - Pump Track https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ik=13c767d701&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f%3A1666612031637569568%7Cmsg-f%3A1666612031637…1/1 Catharine Copass <catharine.copass@gmail.com> Pump Track 1 message Stacy Hodgson <stacylynne00@gmail.com>Wed, May 13, 2020 at 2:24 PM To: "catharine.copass@gmail.com" <catharine.copass@gmail.com> I am writing this to share my excitement on hearing about the possibility of a new pump track coming to our little town. I first heard about this a few months ago before all the craziness and we shot over to Leavenworth to try out the one there. It was SO much fun and the whole family had a blast ! I Would love to volunteer my time in whatever way I can to help make this a reality ! Here is a video of us at the Leavenworth track 2 attachments IMG_2813.MOV 5776K IMG_2806.MOV 12880K 5/17/2020 To Whom it May Concern, I highly support the construction of a pump track in Port Angeles. A large reason my family and I are so in love with Port Angeles is because of the numerous bike trails available to us (Dry Hill, Adventure Trail, Colville). Biking gets us exercise, outdoor time and quality friend time all at once. However, since the birth of our daughter a year and a half ago we’ve lost a lot of our ability to get out on many of our favorite trails because of the time commitment they require. A pump track would allow us to reclaim our health and sanity by providing us a more convenient venue for family friendly exercise and social time.

Sent from my iPhone Recipient: Port Angeles City Council Letter: Greetings, At a time when over 650 people protested in Port Angeles showing support for the Black Lives Matter movement, the Port Angeles Public Safety Advisory Board - the community members who “serve as a liaison between the Police and Fire Departments and the community” PAMC 2.26.050(A)(7),attempted to stay silent at their June 2020 meeting and don't plan to meet again until September 2020. The board is not following its mandates undercity municipal code and does not represent our community. One board member noted at the board's June 17, 2020 meeting (at1:00:20): “we are uniformly one color [white] on our board." Yet the board is mandated by law to represent “diverse segments of the community.” PAMC2.26.020(F) We ask the Port Angeles city council to consider the following changes to the Public Safety Advisory Board: 1) The Board must read and follow Chapter 2.26 of the city municipal code and agree by contract or under oath to follow all of the laws therein. Evidence to the contrary will result in removal from the board by city council. 2) Remove the board's authority to decline to meet all months of the year, as currently required by PAMC 2.26.060(B). 3) Meeting minutes must be published and meetings must be announced through city email announcements, as should already be the case as the City's laws require the board follow the Open Public Meetings Act. PAMC2.26.060(B). 4) Add term limits of 12 years (which matches city council limits). 5) The board shall have power to investigate complaints against all city staff, including the police – strike PAMC 2.26.050(B) restrictions on the board duties from the municipal code. 6) Board members shall not also be city staff. 7) All board members shall live in city limits with the exception of members of the Klallam Tribes who may live outside of the city due to colonialism and racism. 8) The board shall include at least two seats for people who (1) experience or have experienced homelessness, chemical addiction, or both, or (2) work in supportive roles with these groups. 9) Strike PAMC 2.26.020(G), the limit on people under Department of Corrections supervision being on the board. 10) City council shall view and select from all applicants. My name is Ron Peregrin. I do not live in Port Angeles I live in Sequim; however, I am in Port Angeles often. I urge the city council to vote against this public safety advisory board petition as unnecessary and overreaching. My background: 32 years with Washington Fish & Wildlife Police as an officer, detective, and deputy chief. 32 years with U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service (both reserve and active duty), 31 years as a special agent with Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS) and 8 years as Resident Agent in Charge of the Port Angeles CGIS office 8 years as Undersheriff with Clallam County Sheriff’s Office I served as a Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chief’s accreditation mentor and assessor for 10 years and served as a mentor as well as an assessor for PAPD’s first and second accreditation evolutions. As such I have had the opportunity to meticulously examine police dept’s and sheriff’s offices statewide and can unequivocally state that Port Angeles has one of the finest police departments I have had the pleasure of examining. I believe that citizen advisory committees are a good thing that benefits any agency, and that oversight committees are rarely used and only used when long termed systemic problems with an agency are in evidence and need to be changed. There are no long termed systemic problems with Port Angeles Police Department I have read the petition to city council and have serious concerns regarding it. 1. Why are they advocating to fix something that is not broken? There are no long termed systemic problems within PAPD and in fact PAPD is a model agency that other agencies would do well to emulate. 2. This petition is presented as enhancing an “advisory” board when in fact it is creating an “oversight” committee that masquerades as an advisory board. Oversight committees once created can become more problematic than hoped for. They cost money to “investigate” matters of their own choosing, investigations often involve travel expenses and other investigative expenses, and as investigation increase so does the cost. If they do not perform as the city had intended, it can be very difficult to revert them back to simply an advisory board. Once in place they develop a life of their own and efforts to eliminate them are resisted by accusations of “what are you hiding?”, this is a step back from transparency, or other such allegations. Advisory committees are beneficial to agencies while oversight committees are rarely utilized. 3. There is little or no history of issues indicating racist behavior or inappropriate behavior from PAPD. Creating an oversight committee when no long termed systemic problems exist is like putting a person on parole or probation when they have not been committed a crime. You would be telling public servants who have not only done nothing wrong but have also excelled at interacting exceptionally with their constituency that you do not trust them, and for no identifiable reason. You would also be changing the relationship of this board from supportive to adversarial which would undermine a collaborative benefit to the department. If you start telling good employees that they are flawed and need extraordinary supervision, soon those good employees will become employees that need extraordinary supervision. 4. Essentially this petition is a solution looking for a problem when one does not exist. What budgetary impacts will result from creating this oversight committee? 5. What evidence has been presented showing problems within PAPD? Any evidence of racism, excessive use of force, harassment, bullying, failure to hold employees accountable? Anything? 6. If you need to find problems where none exist, create a committee whose purpose is to find problems and they will. They must justify their existence and of course passing on the cost of numerous investigations to whomever created them, in this case, you. 7. Ultimately, I must ask, if the primary purpose of this petition was to increase diversity on the advisory board, why didn’t somebody just come in and ask? Why a petition? Why sweeping changes to existing ordinances? Why so many signatures from non-residents? Whomever drafted this petition wants power, and they will want to keep it. 8. Why are 35% of the signatures on this petition from people who aren’t even living on the Olympic Peninsula? 241 signatures on petition 158 people from Olympic Peninsula 65% (Includes Jefferson County) 83 people not living on Olympic Peninsula 35% Mississippi, Florida, California , New Mexico, Nebraska, Virginia, Maryland, New York, Georgia, and more. (Out of state signatures) PAPD is an accredited agency. What that really means is that of over 250 law enforcement agencies in Washington State only 58 (23%) are accredited. Some of the standards that PAPD must comply with to receive that honor are as follows: 2.4 The agency has policies assuring compliance with all applicable constitutional requirements for in‐custody situations including: •Interviews and interrogations •Access to Counsel; and •Search and seizure Purpose: Interviews and interrogations, questioning, or any other term used to describe in‐custody verbal examinations are conducted in compliance with constitutional requirements. These constitutional requirements, federal and state, are vital to the role and function of law enforcement in a free society. By complying with these requirements, law enforcement officers and agencies ensure fair, legal, and equitable treatment of all people. 2.5 The agency has search and seizure policies that adhere to state and federal law. Purpose: To provide clear and basic guidelines for evaluating search and seizure issues and conducting searches within existing legal parameters that Copyright © 2020 Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs7 LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCREDITATION STANDARDS ensure the constitutional right of persons to be free from unreasonable government intrusion. Proof of compliance may include copies of incident reports that detail stop and frisk incidents; search by consent, search of a vehicle and searches that are part of a crime scene or are part of an inventory process. 3.1 The agency has policies directing personnel to only utilize the amount of force which is necessary to affect lawful objectives, to include any amount of force up to and including deadly force. Purpose: To establish policies and procedures for the necessary, reasonable, and legal use of force that ensures those decisions to use force are made in a professional, impartial, and safe manner, and that there is an understanding and appreciation for the limitations on the authority to use force. 3.6 The agency has an officer involved shooting/deadly force response policy that includes steps for first responders and includes a comprehensive independent investigation and review of the event. Purpose: To ensure the agency has in place a formal response, review and investigative process for officer involved shootings that result in injury or loss of life, that comply with state law and protect interests, rights, and mental health of involved officers. 4.3* The agency has a policy that requires an annual management review and analysis, with final review approved by the chief executive officer, of the following incidents: •Vehicle pursuits •Use of force events •Internal investigations •Biased based profiling incidents Purpose: It is the intent that agencies require ongoing first level supervisory and administrative review of these high liability incidents. Additionally, an annual review and analysis of these incidents shall be conducted at the command level, with approval by the CEO, and can be used as an early warning system. Agencies should address policy, procedure, training and/or personnel issues that are identified during this review process. 13.3 The agency has a policy prohibiting biased‐based profiling, which also has been known as “racial profiling.” Purpose: Biased‐based profiling, which also has been known as racial profiling, is any traffic stop, field contact, vehicle search, asset seizure/forfeiture, or enforcement action based solely on a common trait of a group. Common traits include, but are not limited to race, ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, economic status, age, or cultural group 14.1 The agency requires the documentation and investigation of all complaints of misconduct or illegal behavior against the agency or its members. Purpose: To establish procedures for the reporting, investigation, and disposition of complaints received against the agency or any employee of the agency 14.4 The agency has a policy where complainants are provided with notification concerning the disposition of their complaint. Purpose: To establish procedures for the reporting, investigation, and disposition of complaints received against the agency or any employee of the agency. 14.5 The agency maintains records of complaints and their dispositions in accordance with Washington State Retention Guidelines. Purpose: To ensure the agency retains complaint/disposition records for at least the minimum retention period appropriate for any particular complaint category Every 4 years PAPD is meticulously inspected by a team of 6 law enforcement professionals to determine that each and every standard has been lived and followed for the prior 4 years, if you fail on any one standard, you are not accredited. What makes untrained citizens with no law enforcement training better at holding a department accountable than professional law enforcement experts through accreditation? Would you want untrained citizens directing your doctor before they perform surgery on you? I suspect not, however, if citizens are available to “advise” the doctor about things they like or dislike about his practice, that would improve his service. For that reason, an advisory board has value and an oversight committee has a totally different purpose and is rarely used. I URGE TO YOU REJECT THE PREMISE OF THIS PETITION AND SIMPLY DIRECT THE APPOINTING AUTHORITY FOR THE CURRENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO INCREASE THE DIVERSITY ON THE CURRENT COMMITTEE. I have included a copy of the petition with the objectionable sections highlighted. Thank you, Respectfully, Ron Peregrin From:Tyson Minck To:City Council Subject:Police Review Board Date:Tuesday, August 4, 2020 4:28:14 PM ***EXTERNAL EMAIL*** Dear City Council: Thank you for taking the need to reform the Public Safety Advisory Board seriously. The board must represent our whole community. Life as a Police officer, one of which is to both protect and serve the public, is of course a difficult job. Our community hopes to aid in alleviating some of the difficulties of the profession. The Board must further a more transparent and LGBTQ non-bias police that uses force as a last possible option. The Board must also be required to develop a transparent process for review of police misconduct complaints. Citizen review boards are one step taken by other cities to address concerns with the police. Doing so should actually increase morale among, and respect for, the police. The bad conduct of one police officer when that officer is not made to account for that conduct reflects poorly on the entire department. While some funds should be reallocated to social service and solution oriented programs, we also want to have a police force we can trust and respect when needed. Sincerely Tyson Minck Clallam County City of Port Angeles RECEIVED 321 E 5`h St AUG 0 4 2020 Port Angeles, WA 98362 CITY OF PORT ANGELES Dear Port Angeles City Council, L__ CITY CLERK Thank you for addressing racism in Port Angeles. I was heartened to hear that you spoke out at recent Port Angeles City Council meetings and I hope you will continue to educate yourselves about what it means to be antiracist.

Now more than ever there needs to be an proactive group to address issues of police brutality, racial discrimination, and how these topics impact our citizens. I believe, at the least, the Public Safety Advisory Board should be holding regular meetings so that the public has a constructive channel to voice concerns, suggestions, and receive official feedback on these important matters. As a bridge between the community and PA's police and fire departments, this group is integral to the success of our City addressing citizens concerns and ensuring the police department is active in the discussion as well. Another concern is with the representation on the board. I understand ensuring diversity on public boards is not always a straightforward task. However, it should always be a priority. If there is a lack of diverse applicants, then ensure that when these positions are open that there is ample effort made to reach all aspects of the community. Thank you, Justin Vendettuoli Port Angeles Resident From:Messineo To:City Council Subject:Public Comment for August 4th, 2020 Meeting Date:Tuesday, August 4, 2020 1:45:11 PM ***EXTERNAL EMAIL*** Hello council members, My comment is regarding the Public Safety Advisory Board. I would like to express my desire to see this board serve in a more active capacity as liaisons between the police and fire departments and the members of the community by holding regular monthly meetings. Much of the nation has been actively voicing their concerns about the insidious racism in the police force. Just in Port Angeles, over 650 community members showed up to protest police brutality, yet there have been no meetings of this Board in July or August. It is clear that the public has opinions to voice on this matter, so these meetings should be consistently held. I would also like to see better representation of tribal members, people of color, and those who have/are currently experiencing homelessness on this board so that issues can be seen and discussed from multiple viewpoints. If these groups remain unrepresented due to a lack of applicants, perhaps wider outreach would be a topic to open up to public comment and discuss. Thank you for your time. Melissa Messineo Port Angeles Resident From:Rachel Storck To:City Council Subject:public comment: Public Safety Advisory Board Reforms Date:Tuesday, August 4, 2020 9:53:57 AM ***EXTERNAL EMAIL*** Good Morning, My name is Rachel, and I am a City of Port Angeles Resident. I want to encourage you to begin to adopt the reforms in the Public Safety Petition. These are common sense policies that will help to ensure that the Public Safety Advisory Board represents our whole community in the advice it gives to city staff and the council. Port Angeles is home to so many people. It is of the utmost importance that ALL people are represented by our city government. We are not immune from the ills of white supremacy, racism, and corruption. By adopting the reforms in the Public Safety Petition, you will be taking a step in the right direction. Transparency and accountability to the people you serve is what we are demanding along with diversifying the seats of power that have decision making ability and influence. Thank you for your time.

I am a resident of Neah Bay, I work in Port Angeles as a family physician, and I care for patients throughout Clallam County. My spouse is a Native American and for more than 30 years, I have witnessed some of the struggles that people of color experience. I want to express my gratitude to the Port Angeles City Council for including the topic of diversity, equity and inclusion on the Public Safety Advisory Board, to be part of today’s meeting. I was really disheartened to hear about the meeting of the Advisory Board, on June 17, when six members of the public, three of which were people of color, came to address their concerns. The failure of one or more members of the Public Safety Advisory Board to be able to comment on public safety, policing and race, at time like this, is inexcusable. Even more disheartening is to hear that someone in a leadership position on the Advisory Board is part of a vigilante group that coordinates with law enforcement to “so-to-speak” “clean-up” homeless camps. While those who are affiliated with these groups claim to be cleaning up “out town”, they are, in fact, part of the vigilante problem that is plaguing our communities. No one says "I want to grow up and be an alcoholic, or a drug addict". The following quote is from the National Institute of Health, in section on the biological basis of addiction: "A common misconception is that addiction is a choice or a moral problem, and all you have to do is - stop." Instead of targeting those struggling with addictions or those experiencing homelessness, our city and county should be focused on incentivizing businesses to provide livable wages, landlords to provide affordable housing and look to the examples of other communities who have had greater success with addressing addictions. I agree with all of the proposed changes to the city code that are being recommended, but I want to add one: No government official, elected nor appointed, shall be part of a vigilante group that is targeting people who are experiencing homelessness, people of color, people with addictions, or people who are considered “outsiders”. We need the members of this Port Angeles City Council to have the will and the fortitude to stand up and do the right thing, at this critical moment in time. We need you to make these critical changes to the city code. We will help you to find new leaders for the Public Safety Advisory Board, and other positions, who share our values and want to create a community rooted in justice for all.

My son, daughter in law and, two granddaughters live here as well. My granddaughters are of mixed Asian and European descent and I love them dearly. Our City and County and the school district has been a welcoming place for them to thrive in as I have watched them grow into young adulthood. My educational background is that of a Public Educator and Licensed Mental health Counselor and so I have an understanding of dealing with human diversity, how people become dysfunctional and what appropriate interventions are effective in bringing about lasting change in a multi-racial, multi-cultural society. I believe that the use of force weather brought on by police, vigilantes, or racist white supremacists is not an appropriate method to bring about the appropriate change in those who find themselves on the outside of society, it only reinforces division and hatred and further isolation. I recommend that the Council adopt a model similar to that employed by the City of Olympia, WA where the city invested in a program of trained social workers who will employ appropriate collaborative interventions to bring about change in those who are struggling to live from day to day in a society that is often stacked against their survival. The first step in bringing about appropriate reform is to change the PSAB to approach to homelessness, addiction, and folks who have acted antisocially as victims rather than perpetrators.

Youth cycling is expanding rapidly on the peninsula and a pumptrack will be a huge boost to our town's recreational offerings. To have fun at a pumptrack, you don't need special equipment, just a bike, or scooter, and a helmet. In addition to being a resource for local youth, it will be a destination facility for riders from all over the area, particularly families on vacation and will host competitive events, including world championship qualifiers. The project is broadly supported in the community- I have attached the compilation of over 50 letters of support for our grant proposal, from local 5 year olds to pumptrack world champions- which showcase the broad range of support for this project Thank you, Catharine Copass From:Elizabeth Dunne To:City Council Cc:Kari Martinez-Bailey; Nathan West Subject:Support for reform of Public Safety Advisory Board Date:Tuesday, August 4, 2020 3:57:40 PM ***EXTERNAL EMAIL*** Dear City Council: Thank you for taking the need to reform the Public Safety Advisory Board seriously.

Elizabeth Dunne Port Angeles, WA From:Brian Grad To:City Council Subject:PSAB Date:Monday, August 3, 2020 11:07:36 PM ***EXTERNAL EMAIL*** I am writing in support of establishing greater diversity on the Public Safety Advisory Board. The Board cannot adequately provide recommendations or act as an interface with local law enforcement unless it represents the values and concerns of the entire community. Although BIPOC members of Port Angeles are a minority it is critical that they are represented and have access to the agencies which develop policy and ordinances which affect their communities. The tragic death of Stonechild Chiefstick in Poulsbo at the hands of the Police is still being investigated but there are no tribal members who are a part of that or whose voices could be instrumental in seeking a thorough resolution of that event. The role that diversity plays is to help broaden our understanding of other people's lives who are marginalized and alienated by a system which all too often ignores their interests. Diversity will help ensure a greater understanding and acceptance of our differences so that we can all live peaceably together and appreciate the value of others different from ourselves.

I would like to show my support for the Parks and Recs grant project to put Turf at Volunteer Field. I and the Wilder Baseball Board have been working with the City of Port Angeles to fulfill the Youth Athletic Field grant application requirements. With all of the challenges we face these days a turf field is far from a critical need. It is, however, still a need for our community. With the grant opportunity before us and no funding required now, we need to take advantage of it and apply. The match requirement is low, the number of applicants is low, the project would reduce maintenance costs for the field, and every baseball and softball organization in town is in support. Our baseball and softball players have a chance to play ball outside on new turf in 2022, or they can be in the gym, rained out again, simulating their sport. This is an opportunity to catch up to the Kitsap and Puget Sound area schools with all weather fields. We have beautiful fields, lets up the utilization! Thank you for your consideration.

This Plan must be updated every two years and has been approved by the City Council in 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018. It is intended to ensure that electric utilities have arranged for adequate resources to meet the needs of their customer base. The City will amend this plan as needed when future needs change. For example if alternative power resource opportunities are identified or if the City changes the source of power generation (provided the change is within the scope of Port Angeles' power agreement with BPA). The City is a contractually bound full-requirements customer of the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA); the Plan was generated by BPA using typical growth rates and the City’s current and anticipated future resource mix. The 2020 version shows all power can be provided by BPA. As reported in the Plan: • The City of Port Angeles used an average of 31.61 aMW, provided by the Bonneville Power Administration (31.52 aMW) with a small amount provided through an interlocal agreement with Clallam County PUD (0.09 aMW). • In the 5-year forecast, the mill is projected to be operational bringing total projected load to be 56.40 aMW, o with conservation providing 0.30 aMW, Summary: The City’s electric utility must comply with the Washington State Department of Commerce mandate to provide a biennial update to its Power Resource Plan. This legislation requires public notice and hearing prior to approval of the 2020 Plan. The Plan is required to include: • Current City electric power usage • Future City electric power usage projections for five- and ten-year usage • Plans for providing customers with power for the next ten years • Where the power is purchased or generated Updates to the Plan were submitted to, and approved by, Council biennially from 2008 – 2018. Funding: N/A Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council conduct the public hearing and approve and adopt the proposed Electric Utility 2020 Resource Plan. F - 1August 4, 2020 o Clallam County PUD providing 0.09 aMW, and o BPA providing the majority with 56.01 aMW. • The 10-year forecast shows Port Angeles remaining flat at 56.38 aMW, with conservation providing 0.30 aMW, Clallam County PUD providing 0.09 aMW, and BPA providing 55.99 aMW. The Plan will be available to the public from the City’s website. It is recommended that the City Council conduct the public hearing and approve and adopt the proposed Resource Plan.

Items in the second amendment that are not capital in nature have also been approved by Council at previous meetings. Attached is a detailed list of proposed budget changes, the budget amendment ordinance, including the Exhibit A which lists total revenues and expenditures by fund for the 2020 Budget Amendment #1 and proposed Amendment #2 for comparison. Since many of the individual actions require funding to come from reserves (money unspent at the end of the fiscal year automatically rolls into reserves/fund balance), approval of the ordinance will require a super majority of the entire Council, or five (5) affirmative votes. Tonight’s meeting will include the first reading of the budget amendment ordinance. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Finance Director Sarina Carrizosa, or City Manager, Nathan West at your convenience. Summary: The 2020 Budget is being amended for the second time to reflect changes in revenues and expenditures that have occurred during the second quarter of 2020. This budget amendment primarily includes capital adjustments resulting from the adoption of the 2021-2026 Capital Facilities Plan to ensure consistency with the Budget. This is the first reading of the ordinance. 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. Funding: Please see the detailed summary attached to this memo. Recommendation: The requested action for this issue is as follows: 1. Conduct the first reading of the 2020 Budget Amendment #2 ordinance; and 2. Continue to the August 18th Council meeting.

One grant opportunity that is currently open is the Youth Athletic Facilities (YAF) Grant. This grant provides funds to buy land and develop or renovate outdoor athletic facilities such as ball fields, courts, swimming pools, mountain bike tracks and skate parks that serve youth through the age of 18. In 2015, the City was a successful recipient of this grant and was awarded $226,000 for the new athletic field lights at Civic Field. Over the last two years, the City has been working with two non-profits, the Lincoln Park BMX Track and the Wilder Baseball Club, on two Capital Facility Projects that fit within YAF Grant. Although both entities are seeking grant funds, it is important to note that no General Fund dollars have been committed towards the YAF Grants. Because the Parks and Recreation Department has difficulties maintaining the current infrastructure, it is also important to our department to add and improve infrastructure i n a way that is more manageable. Both projects not only fit the Parks and Recreation mission but will also reduce maintenance concerns at Volunteer Field and take pressure off the Erickson Playfield Skate Park. The first project, PK-0119, is for the design and build of a “Pump Track” at Erickson Playfield. A Pump Track is a continuous loop of berms and mounds that you ride without pedaling. Speed is generated and maintained by the pumping motion made by a rider’s upper and lower body as they ride around the track. It is a great workout, fun and can be ridden by cyclists and scooters of all ages and skill levels. Having a Pump Track/BMX Track next to the skate park has been a vision of the City and the Rotary since the Summary: Over the last two years, the City has been working with two non-profits, the Lincoln Park BMX Track and the Wilder Baseball Club, on two Capital Facility Projects that fit within Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) Youth Athletic Field (YAF) Grant. The City is partnering with them for this grant opportunity. Funding: No General Funds dollars are associated with these grants at this time. Both non-profits will be seeking matching funds through fundraisers, partnering with service clubs, applying for other grants, and pursuing Real Estate Excise Tax and Lodging Tax Fund opportunities. If funds are received from the RCO, the City will place the funds in the CFP and manage the project with the assistance of Public Works Engineering Department. Recommendation: Pass the attached Resolution authorizing the submission of two Youth Athletic Field applications for grant assistance from the Recreation and Conservation Office for Capital Facility Projects PK-0119 and PK-0220. H - 1August 4, 2020 conception of the Skate Park and will help to keep bikes and scooters out of that particular area. An asphalt Pump Track will require little maintenance. The Lincoln Park BMX Track has a great track record of maintaining the infrastructure they have built, as well as managing the grants they have received. They also have a Lease Agreement with the City. The requested amount from the YAF grant from this organization is $350,000. Total cost of the project is estimated at $400,000. The second project is PK-0220; Field Turf at Volunteer Field. This multi-year project would give League teams across Clallam County the ability to play at Volunteer Field year-round. Having turf will minimize field closures, increasing our field usage to 4 hours per day during baseball and softball seasons. This will also give our athletes the opportunity to play on turf, which will assist them when playing at other fields in the state. This project will reduce park staff maintenance and save on cost of materials and utilities provided by the City. Much like many of the other youth leagues, Wilder Baseball also has a Facility Use Agreement with the City. The requested amount from the YAF grant from this organization is $350,000. Phase 1 of this project is projected to be $500,000. Funding Overview: No General Funds dollars are associated with these grants at this time. Both non-profits will be seeking matching funds through fundraisers, partnering with service clubs, applying for other grants, and pursuing Real Estate Excise Tax and Lodging Tax Fund opportunities. If funds are received from the RCO, the City will place the funds in the CFP and manage the project with the assistance of Public Works Engineering Department. H - 2August 4, 2020 -1- RESOLUTION NO. ________ This resolution of the City Council of the City of Port Angeles authorizing the submittal of two Youth Athletic Field applications for grant assistance from the Recreation and Conservation Office. WHEREAS, over the last two years, the City has been working with two non-profit corporations, the Lincoln Park BMX Track and the Wilder Baseball Club, to accomplish two capital improvement projects; and WHEREAS, both of the Capital Facility Projects, PK-0119 (Erickson Park Pump Track) and PK-0220 (Field Turf at Volunteer Field) are eligible for grant assistance from the Recreation and Conservation Office and Youth Athletic Field Grant program; and WHEREAS, both non-profits will be seeking matching funds through fundraisers, partnering with service clubs, applying for other grants, and pursuing Real Estate Excise Tax and Lodging Tax Fund opportunities. At this time no General Fund dollars are associated with these grants; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles, Washington, that the City Manager is authorized to make formal application to the Recreation Conservation Office for grant assistance for the two projects described above, that any grant assistance received will be used for direct costs associated with implementation of the projects referenced above and that no General Funds dollars are associated with these grants. This resolution may become part of a formal application to the Recreation Conservation Office Grant Program for grant assistance and the Youth Athletic Field Grant Program for grant assistance. The City of Port Angeles provided appropriate opportunity for public comment on this application. PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles at a special meeting of said Council held on the _____ day of August, 2020. _____________________________ Kate Dexter, Mayor H - 3August 4, 2020 -2- ATTEST: ________________________________ Kari Martinez-Bailey, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: _______________________________ William E. Bloor, City Attorney H - 4August 4, 2020   Date: August 4, 2020 To: City Council From: Nathan A. West, City Manager Ken Dubuc, Fire Chief Brian S. Smith, Police Chief Subject: Public Safety Advisory Board Background / Analysis: Established by ordinance in 2007, the Public Safety Advisory Board (PSAB) has twelve (12) positions. Five (5) positions are specifically prescribed for representation type in the Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) and the remaining seven (7) are intended to represent diverse segments of the community. All members live, work or attend school within Port Angeles. The PAMC requires that a majority of members be City residents. The PSAB has a diverse membership when it comes to age, profession and life experience. Members include a representative from the Port Angeles School District, an emergency medical technician (EMT) from an associated EMS agency, a business owner, a service organization manager, two registered nurses, a retired Department of Corrections manager, a retired real estate agent, a retired EMT and as mentioned above other at-large members are expected to represent diverse segments of the community. The City Clerk manages the application process and advertising for vacant positions. The Fire and Police Chiefs serve as advisors to the board. The PSAB has historically met once a month, however, by consensus of the board, the board has not typically met during the summer months or during the December holiday. This practice was intended as a consideration for the value of time for the board members, helping them avoid attendance at meetings which could not meet quorum requirements. Expectations of PSAB members are regular meeting attendance and participation, and a willingness to interact with public safety to include a ride along with Fire and Police personnel. Dis-qualifications for a Police Department ride along include active or inactive arrest warrants, Summary: The Public Safety Advisory Board (PSAB) was created in 2007 when Council by ordinance combined the Law Enforcement Advisory Board with the Medic 1 Advisory Board and established the PSAB as a citizens’ advisory board. The Fire and Police Chiefs serve as advisors to the board. The administrative assistants from both Fire and Police have served as the PSAB clerks. Since its inception, the PSAB has provided both the Fire and Police Chief with advice on public safety programs and initiatives, promoted awareness of the City’s Fire and Police services and programs, served as a liaison between public safety and the community and worked towards a goal of becoming knowledgeable in public safety operations and issues. Funding: N/A Recommendation: Information only. I - 1August 4, 2020 active or inactive Department of Corrections supervision, convicted sex offender status, history as a suspect in a felony crime and respondent in a domestic violence no-contact or protection order. The PSAB has assisted both Public Safety and the City staff with numerous efforts. In 2003 the PSAB board members helped staff educate the public on the 1% or 1 per cent voter initiative for PenCom that was later passed by the voters. The Fire Chief utilized feedback from the PSAB to inform his process as he advocated for an increase in the Fire Department Paramedic staffing and later when he pursued the Community Paramedic Program. The Police Chief utilized feedback from the PSAB as he worked with other City staff and Council on the ongoing red-light camera and school zone camera projects. The Police Department has spent considerable time educating the PSAB on important policies and operations of the Department including the police use of force policy and legal requirements. It is the goal of both departments to have a well-educated and informed PSAB who will be able to provide valuable community outreach and participation after a critical incident e.g., use of deadly force or an in-custody death. This effort has included two presentations by a trainer from the US Department of Justice Community Reconciliation program on the process of community mediation. PAPD and Clallam Sheriff’s Office firearms trainers utilized a firearms training simulator to expose PSAB members to actual shooting and use of force scenarios. The PASD also received presentations by a Master Use of Force instructor and Deputy Chief of Police on PAPD use of force policies and trainings, and the 2020 Independent Investigation Team (IIT) vetting requirements for community member involvement for the observer role on the use of deadly force or in custody death independent investigation teams. During the February PSAB meeting, the Police Department had each detective and supervisor assigned to the IIT introduce themselves and share their resume with the PSAB. PSAB members were provided training on their roles and responsibilities related to IIT should the PAPD IIT be called to investigate another agencies’ use of deadly force or in custody death. At the June meeting, PSAB members were provided training and information on excited delirium deaths as they relate to public safety. Both departments investigate complaints in a well-established manner that is consistent with legal and policy requirements. The Police Department produces an annual report that summarizes, reviews and analyzes complaints received against Department staff. PAPD is required by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) Accreditation to have a complaint process that meets best practice standards. This is both for the benefit of the Department and for those who we are sworn to protect. This process includes a written log and record of each complaint, a sergeant assigned to investigate the complaint, at least two supervisory levels of review of the complaint investigation, a written finding, a Deputy Chief recommendation to the Chief of Police. When there is a sustained finding of fact the Chief of Police then makes a determination as to employee discipline while working in concert with the Human Resources, Legal and the employee bargaining unit representative. There is a written response to the complaining party, use of standardized terms to describe investigative conclusions and an annual written overall complaint review and analysis that is completed by the Deputy Chief of Police. This complaint analysis looks for any trends or issues beyond the individual complaints and is coupled with similar written reviews and analysis on use of force, biased based policing and police pursuit. All these written reports and analysis are public records and are evaluated for compliance with WASPC Accreditation standards. The Police Department has a written agreement with 5 agencies that allows the Department to transfer a compliant investigation when there is a conflict of interest and /or serious allegations of misconduct. The Police Department also conducts complaint investigations for other agencies. In the case of a deadly force incident or an in-custody death, the Police Department is required to have the entire investigation of the deadly force use or in custody death to an independent investigative team that the meets RCW and I - 2August 4, 2020 Washington WAC requirements. Each member of an independent investigative team is required to certify in each case that no factors exist that could create a conflict of interest. This requirement also would be applied to PSAB citizen observer attached to the PAPD IIT. Out of 24,000 plus calls for service in 2019 the Police Department received and investigated 17 complaints. 4 were internally generated. 12 were determined to be unfounded and /or the employee exonerated, 1 involved an investigation for another agency and 4 were sustained. The sustained investigations involved 2 vehicle collisions, 1 substandard investigation and 1 mishandling of documents. The PSAB by design, and by City ordinance, has no power or authority to investigate, review or otherwise participate in matters involving specific public safety personnel or specific public safety related incidents unless specifically requested by the Fire Chief, Police Chief or City Manager. Clearly defined and well- established complaint investigation mechanisms regarding public safety staff are dictated by Fire and Police Department policies, City policy, Civil Service rules and regulations and labor contracts. The Council appointed Civil Service Commission is empowered by ordinance to investigate and report on matters relating to the Civil Service System in the Fire and Police Departments. The Civil Service Commission has jurisdiction over the investigation of any complaint filed against a member of the Fire and Police Department as it relates to the application of City policy, civil service rules and procedures, and the respective bargaining unit contracts. The complaint investigation mechanisms in the Police Department are also defined by and evaluated for compliance with the WASPC accreditation standards. The Fire Department follows practices and principles similar to the Police Department in complaint investigation. Complaint investigations are assigned to an Assistant Fire Chief and findings are reported to the Chief. In a case where a complaint is sustained the Chief works in concert with Human Resources, Legal and the employee bargaining unit on his determination for employee discipline. Investigations involving serious misconduct or potential conflicts of interest are transferred to another professional investigative agency. The Fire Department received and investigated one complaint in 2019. As mentioned above, the Fire and Police Department are regulated by the Civil Service Commission. Per City Code Section 2.22.040 “The Commission shall make investigations concerning and report upon all matters touching the enforcement and effect of the provisions of this chapter, and the rules prescribed hereunder”. Included in this authority is the power to administer oaths and subpoena witnesses. Criminal penalties are attached to a failure to comply with a subpoena from the Civil Service Commission. PSAB members are required to dedicate a considerable amount of time and interest to the board. We believe that the members have carried out their duties faithfully and consistently with what the City asks of volunteers on the PSAB. Both Fire and Police have spent years informing and educating PSAB members to better facilitate their work on their board. Recommendations: While it is illegal to appoint persons to the PSAB based on race or gender, it is appropriate and a best practice to have PSAB members that reflect a broad area of community interest in public safety. The Clallam County Sheriff’s Advisory Board designates positions for enrolled tribal members and Staff recommends taking a similar approach by adding an additional position (as described in City ordinance) to the PSAB that will be filled by an enrolled tribal member. The City of Port Angeles and the Lower Elwha-Klallam Tribe have adjacent jurisdictional boundaries and overlapping interests and needs. The Police Department and the Lower Elwha Police have a written agreement that includes both agencies cross designating the other agency with full law enforcement and arrest authority. The unique and mutually supportive law relationship leads to additional City and Tribal shared public safety interests. I - 3August 4, 2020 Staff further recommends that the process for PSAB selection be described in detail and added to the City Municipal Code as a part of the overall Municipal Code update process that is slated for Spring of 2021. In the meantime, the board will continue to follow current practice and vacant positions will be filled following Council approval of a PSAB recommendation. Staff does not recommend a change to the municipal code that would transform the PSAB to an entity with potential investigative responsibility over all City employees. The accountability, transparency, professionalism and fairness attached to the current City-wide practices would be severely impacted compromised with such a change. On March 17, 2020, City Council appointed an individual to the PSAB who is also a City staff member in a Department completely unrelated to public safety. The appointment was made based on his role as a volunteer firefighter/EMT with Clallam Fire District 2 and unrelated to his position at the City. There is currently no prohibition on appointment of City employees to this board, however, staff does recommend a different approach moving forward. It is recommended that City employees no longer be eligible for appointment to the PSAB Finally, it is suggested that terms be staggered so that the entire board is not replaced at the same time. Again, it is recommended that all these changes be implemented during the upcoming Municipal Code update process. I - 4August 4, 2020 Date: August 4, 2020 To: City Council From: Nathan A. West, City Manager Allyson Brekke, Director Community and Economic Development William Bloor, City Attorney, Subject: Professional Services Agreements with Madrona Law Group and Makers Architecture and Urban Design, LLP Background / Analysis: Since June 1890, the City has been adopting municipal ordinances. Now in 2020, the City’s municipal code has grown to include 241 chapters divided among 17 titles. On several occasions over the past 15 years, city councils and city staff have recognized that the City’s municipal code would benefit from a thorough review followed by updates, amendments, and in some cases, reorganization or repeal of selected chapters and titles. Early this year, the City widely distributed a Request for Qualifications inviting interested parties to submit proposals for the review and audit of the PAMC. The City received five responses to the request. Summary: The City Council established as a priority a review of the City’s municipal code. To implement that process, City staff issued an RFQ, and in response received statements of qualification from five firms. After a selection process, staff is recommending the City employ one firm, Madrona, to do most of the work. Separately, the City would employ another firm, MAKERS Architecture and Urban Design, LLP, to focus on the planning, zoning, and development regulation portions of the code. The reason for that division is to more efficiently take advantage of a grant from the Washington Department of Commerce for that particular work. Coordinated Professional Services Agreements with each firm are provided for Council action. Funding: The professional services agreement with Madrona Law Group, LLP is being delivered in an amount not to exceed $50,000. These funds were budgeted in the City Manager’s Professional Services line item of the City Council approved 2020 Budget. The professional services agreement with MAKERS Architecture and Urban Design, LLP is funding through a City Council approved HB 1923 grant received from Washington State Department of Commerce. Recommendation: Approve and award the attached Agreements, including the attached scope of work, and authorize the City Manager to execute and implement the Agreements and to make minor modifications as necessary. J - 1August 4, 2020 The initial plan was to select one firm to do the entire project. However, following a selection process that included interviews, City staff is recommending the City employ two firms. The first is Madrona Law Group. Staff recommends this firm be the lead on the project and do most of the work. Staff recommends that the City separately employee another firm, Makers, to focus on the planning, zoning, and development regulation portions of the code. There are several reasons why staff now is recommending hiring two firms. First, both firms have strong and well demonstrated abilities. Madrona is a firm that specializes in Washington municipal law, and they have performed code audits and updates for many other cities. Makers has a particular focus on planning, zoning, and development codes. Second, they are quite willing to work together and collaborate to produce an outstanding product. Third, the City has been awarded a grant from the Washington Department of Commerce to pay for the review and update its zoning and development codes to satisfy the City’s requirements to increase residential building capacity (HB-1923 grant program). To retain that funding, the City must act quickly. It must retain a consultant as soon as possible so that the work can be completed by April 2021. If not, the City risks losing funding from Commerce. Hiring two firms allows the City to more efficiently take advantage of a grant from the Washington Department of Commerce for that particular work. This agenda item asks the Council to approve and award the Agreements for Professional Services with Madrona and with Makers. Funding Overview: The professional services agreement with Madrona Law Group, LLP is being delivered in an amount not to exceed $50,000. These funds were budgeted in the City Manager’s Professional Services line item of the City Council approved 2020 Budget. The professional services agreement with MAKERS Architecture and Urban Design, LLP is funding through a City Council approved HB 1923 grant received from Washington State Department of Commerce.

The Scope of Work for this agreement contemplates the Attorneys performing, at the least, the Initial Phase described here within. Depending on budget, the Attorneys will address portions of the Second and Third Phases in conjunction with work done on the Initial Phase. Additional work required to complete the Second and Third Phases which exceeds the budgeted amount may be addressed through an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA). This approach allows the City some flexibility both in meeting project objectives and controlling available project resources. The Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) is important to the public, and for that reason, all policies, principles, and recommendations for changes should be made through a process that is open and transparent. While the Attorneys are performing the work described herein, another firm, MAKERS Architecture and Urban Design, will be performing work to satisfy the City’s requirements of an interagency agreement and grant with the Washington State of Department of Commerce to increase residential building capacity (HB-1923 grant program). The diversity of elements to be addressed in this project and in MAKERS’ project create the probability that there will be some overlap. Such overlap should be anticipated and addressed through collaboration to ensure both professional work products are coordinated in effort and are cohesive in recommendation. Initial Phase The initial phase includes the following tasks, which may be modified upon consultation with City staff, depending on budget and Attorneys’ initial assessment, without additional City Council approval: 1. The Attorneys will conduct an initial meeting (most likely a video meeting) with the City Council, department directors, and city staff to describe the intended code audit process and to gather ideas, suggestions, and goals from the Council and staff.

For that purpose, the Attorneys made need to conduct a cursory review of titles 14, 16, and 17. 4. Based on the review described in the preceding paragraphs, the Attorneys will prepare an outline of specific code provisions that should be added, revised or repealed, and will identify why change is necessary. 5. Additionally, the Attorneys will prepare an outline of specific changes, revisions, and other recommendations to enhance, clarity, and ease use of the PAMC. 6. The Attorneys will analyze and report to the City whether the PAMC, either in structure or in substance or both, would benefit from any changes, other than those noted as a result of the work described above. 7. Finally, the Attorneys shall offer recommendations relating to the process for Council, City staff and citizens to offer input and comment to proposed changes to the PAMC and regarding the process for drafting amendments to current PAMC In performing the work described above, Attorneys will include in its review, analysis, and recommendations, consideration of at least the following factors. The factors listed below are not intended to be exclusive or limiting. Based on the review described in paragraph 1 above, the Attorneys are expected to identify and assess additional factors for consideration. Compliance and/or conflicts with current law Internal consistency and uniformity including definitions, interpretation, and syntax Organization Eliminate outdated provisions Customer friendly Reduce tentacles Usability Address conflicts with current law More graphics Implement City Code Compliance Program (Code Portion) Implement tobacco-free ordinance Attorneys’ final Initial Phase Audit report shall be in writing and provided to the City by a date no later than November 30, 2020. Realizing that there may be opportunity for Attorneys to provide those services listed in the Optional Second and Third Phases below, without exceeding the 8 J - 10August 4, 2020 maximum budget of $50,000, Attorneys agree to perform those services as part of the Initial Phase. To the extent that the City agrees that the Audit identifies specific issues that would require additional work beyond that outlined above, the parties may revise the scope of the PSA accordingly. The City Manager is hereby authorized to implement and approve such revisions and the optional Phases of the Scope of Work administratively if funds beyond the original PSA budget are allocated.. If the City or the Attorneys decline to extend the PSA, the Attorneys shall summarize the additional work that has been identified and the reasons for the recommendation of additional work. Optional Second Phase Council and Staff - Receive and evaluate Reports from Attorneys Based on that evaluation, determine Priorities – Identify Sections for Priority Updating Timeline Budget Other elements, as developed from analysis of audit performed by Attorneys As needed, negotiate amendments or additions to the agreement with the Attorneys Optional Third Phase Attorneys, in collaboration with City staff, City Council, the public, implement changes to the PAMC. As necessary and appropriate, in addition to draft changes to the PAMC, this Phase will include actions necessary to assure input and engagement opportunities for the public, the City Council, and City staff. 9 J - 11August 4, 2020 EXHIBIT B MADRONA LAW GROUP, PLLC 2020 HOURLY RATES ATTORNEYS: Eileen M.

Bloor, City Attorney J - 17August 4, 2020 Port Angeles Increasing Residential Building Capacity Code Updates - Scope of Work MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 1 Exhibit A: City of Port Angeles & MAKERS Scope of Work for HB-1923 Commerce Grant Increasing Residential Building Capacity - Port Angeles Municipal Code Analysis & Updates Initial Phase Tasks Below are the primary elements and deliverables of the tasks to be performed by the Consultant, MAKERS Architecture and Urban Design, to satisfy the City’s requirements of an interagency agreement and grant with the Washington State of Department of Commerce to increase residential building capacity (HB-1923 grant program). Due to the evolving nature of a larger municipal code audit that Madrona Law is assisting the City to complete, the diversity of elements to be addressed in this project, and the needed collaboration with a parallel Regional Chamber of Commerce downtown strategic planning effort, it is expected for some variation to the tasks and schedule set forth below. It is understood that MAKERS is expected to work with Madrona Law with any and all HB-1923 project work and code audit analysis to ensure both professional work products are coordinated in effort and are cohesive in recommendation. For the purpose of budgeting, the work to be performed is divided into phases of completion. The Scope of Work for this agreement contemplates the Consultant performing the Initial Phase as described here within. Depending on City budget and satisfactory completion of the Initial Phase by the Consultant, subsequent Phases may be addressed through an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement as provided herein. This approach allows the City some flexibility both in meeting project objectives and controlling available project resources. Any changes to the scope and budget shall be agreed by both parties in writing prior to conducting such work. NOTE: It’s assumed that some, if not all, of the internal City staff and community meetings will need to be conducted remotely due to Covid-19 social distance standards and concerns. MAKERS will coordinate with City staff on acceptable remote engagement techniques. It is understood that the public will be engaged in some capacity, such as website updates, throughout the project development. Ongoing Project Management The hours for the project management duties noted below are embedded into the budgeted hours for the tasks. J - 18August 4, 2020 Port Angeles Increasing Residential Building Capacity Code Updates - Scope of Work MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 2 1. Management. Prepare monthly invoices and progress reports; prepare for, conduct, and summarize monthly (or as needed) team progress phone calls; and track scope, budget, and schedule. 2. Schedule. Update the project work plan and schedule as needed throughout the project. 3. Coordination. Ongoing coordination with team members and City staff, including information requests, to ensure project efficiency and effectiveness. Task 1 - Project Startup & Initial Presentation A)MAKERS and Madrona (“Attorneys”) will conduct an initial presentation (most likely a video meeting) with the City Council, department directors, and city staff to describe the intended process to complete this project and to gather ideas, suggestions, and goals from the Council and staff. The Attorneys will be the lead entity in this meeting. B) MAKERS will lead an initial kick-off meeting with City staff. Draft agenda: • Discuss the project scope, schedule, and budget (including setting public meeting dates and internal project deadlines) • Review internal Staff code audit of Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) Titles 14, 16, and 17 and discuss project issues and challenges (planning/housing information, code problems, and initial ideas for solutions) • Confirm the anticipated approach and products in each task • Discuss the basic text and graphic information needed for the startup of the project webpage; decide if project webpage should be independent of City website or combined • Discuss how this effort can best coordinate with the ongoing Chamber of Commerce downtown strategic planning effort • Optional: Conduct a virtual tour of the applicable zones, examples of recent development, and/or strategic opportunity sites with staff J - 19August 4, 2020 Port Angeles Increasing Residential Building Capacity Code Updates - Scope of Work MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 3 Timing Early August Deliverable • Updated schedule • Meeting summary • Project webpage materials Meetings 1 project team video conference Commerce Steps Action 3: 3.1 Task 2 –Staff/Stakeholder Interviews Following the presentation and Council feedback described in Task 1 above, MAKERS will interview stakeholders (selected in coordination with City staff) with regards to housing infill and form-based code (FBC) elements. The purpose of these interviews is twofold: 1) Establish a shared understanding of housing and development challenges in Port Angeles; and 2) Raise awareness of the project and empower the consultant team to address specific issues and concerns directly and early in the process. Depending on staff preferences for this task, this could be kept to a small core group of critical stakeholders or it could be broadened to include a larger sample of the community to create a wider perspective on the mix of issues and objectives for this project (recommended to be no more than eight total) If stakeholder interviews are broadened, consider from the following groups: • Planning Commission • Developers, architects, design professionals representing recent or planned projects • Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce • Key property and business owners within commercial zoning districts • Real estate professionals • Residents Timing Late August – Early September Deliverable • Individual meeting notes • Summary memo Commerce Steps Action 1: 1.1 Action 2: 1.1 Action 3: 3.1 J - 20August 4, 2020 Port Angeles Increasing Residential Building Capacity Code Updates - Scope of Work MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 4 Task 3 - Code Analysis After our initial discussions with City staff and Council, MAKERS will finalize the list of priorities for code review within Titles 14, 16 and 17. Foremost, MAKERS will be identifying all existing or missing provisions that relate to the specific HB-1923 actions: 1. Adopt an increase in categorical exemptions for residential or mixed-use development (SEPA infill exemption) - Titles 15, 16, 17, and 18 2. Increase short subdivision maximum to nine lots (and associated subdivision standards) - Title 16 3. Adopt a form-based code for the City’s downtown CBD zone (and possibly other commercial zones) - Titles 14 and 17 Staff’s internal audits of Titles 14, 16, and 17 (completed July 2020) will form a foundation to build upon and avoid duplicating existing work. The review priorities will also be informed by staff discussion at the project startup meeting and the stakeholder interviews. MAKERS will provide the following assessments. Depending on content and preferences, some of these components may be kept internal. • Gaps in code for implementing the specific HB-1923 actions, including allowances and guidance under state law. • Other code issues that impact code usability and development feasibility, to be addressed in the future phase of work. • Comprehensive Plan policy-code gaps. • Observations on recent infill development (commercial/mixed-use development, multifamily infill, and single-family subdivisions). Summarize how they are or are not meeting community objectives, while avoiding potential controversy associated with critiquing individual projects. • Comparison to peer cities where to study best practices for encouraging infill development, approaches for subdivision regulations, and implementing form-based codes. • General code usability and organization. MAKERS will also be reviewing the relevant sections with an eye toward the future development regulations update. Timing August-September Deliverable Technical memo(s) Commerce Steps Action 1: 1.1, 1.2 Action 2: 1.1, 1.2 Action 3: 3.1 J - 21August 4, 2020 Port Angeles Increasing Residential Building Capacity Code Updates - Scope of Work MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 5 Task 4 - Preliminary Concepts and Recommendations Based on the stakeholder interview findings and code analysis, MAKERS will develop rough preliminary concepts and recommendations associated with the HB-1923 grant elements. These will involve new regulations that provide environmental protection for exempt residential infill development, updated subdivision regulations, and new form-based regulations. For some elements, MAKERS will develop specific concept solutions. In other cases, suggest several options and solicit community feedback (as part of Task 5 below). Concepts can be formatted in a number of ways - they may start with slideshows, maps, and graphics at team meetings, and then transition to integrating the concepts into the actual code structure. For some concepts MAKERS may present several alternatives within the code format. MAKERS also often provides two levels of commentary and observations - in-line comments to provide further context to reviewers and the public and editing “bubbles” that are intended for internal discussion. MAKERS will be in constant contact with staff during this task. As concepts come into focus, they will be prepared for public review. Timing September-October (NOTE: Downtown FBC efforts could be delayed to better synch with Downtown strategic planning efforts) Deliverable Preliminary concept text, maps, graphics, and other supporting materials. Commerce Steps Action 1: 1.3 Action 2: 1.3 Action 3: 3.2 Task 5 - Form-Based Code Public Workshop This effort will be coordinated with the ongoing Chamber of Commerce downtown strategic planning effort. Whether conducted in-person or remotely, MAKERS will help craft community engagement materials that touch on key findings of the stakeholder interviews, our code analysis, and our preliminary concepts. The “workshop” may end up being a singular event or a series of online activities and opportunities to engage - or both, depending on the resources available. Depending on City staff preference, techniques could involve any of the following: • A visual preference survey of infill multifamily and commercial development. • A mapping exercise to collect input on desired development form in downtown and other applicable FBC areas (including where new housing is appropriate or desired). • A survey of FBC concepts and alternatives. • A webinar session and/or a recorded video which explains the preliminary concepts. • Frequently asked question list. Timing September - November J - 22August 4, 2020 Port Angeles Increasing Residential Building Capacity Code Updates - Scope of Work MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 6 Deliverable • Workshop materials and summary of results • Updated website materials Commerce Steps Action 3: 3.3 Task 6 - Draft Code Updates and Planning Commission Review Based on results of prior tasks, MAKERS will provide a first draft of all code updates. MAKERS will be in frequent communication with City staff during this process and first share a rough working draft with concepts, questions, rationale, and examples. Ultimately, the draft(s) will be fully usable and contain all of the necessary supporting graphics developed to this point. Depending on staff and City Attorney preference, the code drafts will either be consolidated in a single ordinance or divided into three ordinances (for each HB-1923 action). MAKERS will also support all associated staff reports. For the Planning Commission, MAKERS will participate in up to two meetings and provide technical assistance to staff in additional meetings as necessary and as resources allow. The goal is to help the Commission and community members understand the key elements of the draft code updates. The presentation will highlight the key elements where consensus has been built, and also ask the Commission for recommendations where alternatives remain. This feedback will be taken into the next task. Timing November-January 2021 Deliverable • Draft code elements • Draft ordinance(s) • Staff report collaboration with staff • Commerce Steps Action 1: 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 Action 2: 1.5, 1.6 Action 3: 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 Task 7 – Code/Ordinance Refinements Based on input in Task 6, the team will collaborate with City staff to make refinements to the drafts to prepare for the City Council adoption process. MAKERS will collaborate with staff on any associated staff reports and will be available to collaborate with staff in preparation of any required SEPA checklist(s) Timing December 2020 - January 2021 Deliverable • Updated draft codes and ordinances • Requested technical memos J - 23August 4, 2020 Port Angeles Increasing Residential Building Capacity Code Updates - Scope of Work MAKERS architecture and urban design Page 7 • Staff report collaboration with staff • SEPA checklist collaboration with staff Commerce Steps Action 1: 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 Action 2: 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 Action 3: 4.1, 4.2, 5.1 Task 8 - City Council Adoption Support MAKERS will participate in up to two City Council meetings and be available for technical assistance as necessary and as resources allow.

This effort will include a preliminary draft scope of work for the subsequent development regulations update. Timing March – April 2021 Deliverable • Preliminary recommendations for updating the organization of PAMC Titles 14, 16 and 17 • Preliminary scope of work/budget for future phase development regulations update Future Phase Tasks Dependent on available budget, MAKERS may complete additional phases of code work based on recommendations made in Task 9. Titles of primary focus are PAMC Titles 14, 16 and 17, but also may include Titles 15 and 18 and the City’s Urban Services Standards and Guidelines document (primarily the City’s engineering standards and standards). Topics that may be highlighted in this future phase work could include tiny homes, short term rentals, landscape requirements for new development, sign regulations, parking regulations, and development fee schedules and procedures.

J - 25August 4, 2020 Date: August 4, 2020 To: City Council From: Brian S. Smith, Police Chief Subject: 2019 Port Angeles Police Department Annual Report Summary: I am very pleased to present the Port Angeles Police Department (PAPD)2019 Annual Report to City Council. While 2019 was a year of challenges and great accomplishments for PAPD, 2020 will likely prove to be significantly more challenging for our staff. We are a transparent and community oriented policing department. We remain committed to our core values and to the oaths that we have taken to defend the Constitution of the State of Washington and the Constitution of the United States. We have also taken an oath to abide by the law enforcement code of ethics which includes a zero tolerance for discriminatory or biased based behavior. I was appalled by the police actions that led to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis Minnesota. That behavior does not in any fashion represent the women and men of PAPD, and I stand with those in our community who felt outrage and have protested systemic racism. It is important to note that we are the same caring and ethical people now that we were in 2019. I believe that this report reflects the breadth of our empathetic policing work in Port Angeles and our commitment to serving the needs of all our community members. As you have seen from our previous report to Council, we have seen decreases in property crime, while violent crime in most categories increased in 2019. We have a higher crime rate in areas of aggravated assault, simple assault, burglary, theft and property destruction. This is higher than the state average and higher than all of our 15 comparable cities. This report also reflects PAPD’s commitment to working upstream on outreach and crime prevention with partners, such as REdisCOVERY, the Port Angeles Fire Department and the Port Angeles School District while also responding appropriately to calls for service and aggressively investigating felonies and violent crime. We strive to embody a holistic approach to policing that can be best described as doing more of everything. Funding: N/A Recommendation: N/A Background / Analysis: Some highlights from our 2019 Annual Report: Officer Swift Sanchez was selected as the 2019 Officer of the Year. She is an enrolled member of the Shoshone-Bannock tribe, has attained a master’s degree in Criminal Justice and a bachelor’s degree in Social Work and has attained the rank of Lt. Commander in the US Naval Reserve. She is also a parent, a spouse and a 17 -year law enforcement professional. During the first half of 2019 she was completing her military deployment in Afghanistan She returned to PAPD in July of 2019, is part of the Red Patrol Squad leadership team and is a designated outreach Officer. In 2019, PAPD achieved reaccreditation with the Washington Association of Sheriff’s and Police Chiefs (WASPC). This was again a rigorous process that required PAPD to meet over 130 best practice standards L - 1August 4, 2020 that included use of force training, analysis and reporting, bias based policing analysis, complaint investigation and reporting and pursuit review and analysis. PAPD has been continuously accredited since 2011 and is one of 60 accredited police agencies in Washington out of approximately 350 law enforcement agencies. The six members of the PAPD Detective Division assisted in one 3 victim homicide investigation and led another 4-victim homicide investigation in 2019. Both complex and long-term cases are pending trial and the suspects in both cases were identified and apprehended These cases added significant workload to the Detective Division that had an already full caseload with major crimes of violence, sex-based crimes and crimes against children. A significant number of the crimes against children continue to be reported through the school district and the PAPD School Resource Officers (Detectives Martin and Ordona) are specially trained and well situated with staff and student relationships to handle many of these cases. PAPD Sgt. Tom Kuch in 2019 served as the operationa l supervisor for the multi -agency Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team (OPNET) In 2019 the Detectives and Agents assigned to OPNET initiated or assisted in 46 arrests, opened 57 cases, closed 47 cases and made 38 felony narcotics arrests. Over 95% of the OPNET cases were accepted for prosecution and over 97% of their cases resulted in felony convictions. OPNET also worked closely with the US Marshal’s Violent Fugitive Task Force in organizing and executing a joint agency fugitive operation that led to 20 arrests for persons wanted for the crimes of assault, drug sales and sex crimes. OPNET continues to be one of the tools we use to combat the opioid and overdose epidemic. The 5-person Records Division took on additional workload associated with Initiative 1639. PAPD is now required to complete full database checks for all pistol transfer applications, semi-automatic rifles, pawn redemptions and other transactions. This mandate did not come with additional funding. Records staff processed 621 firearms transfer transactions and 345 concealed pistol transactions in 2019. PAPD’s strong showing in the WASPC Accreditation process was in part due to the excellent work of Records staff in managing the property and evidence function to WASPC accreditation standards. Peninsula Communications (PenCom) lost 6 Communications Officers to retirement or other agencies in 2018. 2019 saw challenges for PenCom finding highly suitable candidates who were able to successfully complete the entire training process. Even with the significant efforts by PenCom training staff and continuous adjustments to the training program, PenCom was only able to achieve a 33% success rate for new hires. Achieving full staffing continues to be a primary PenCom goal in 2020. 2019 also saw PenCom kick off a major data and computer aided dispatch merge project with Jefferson County (JeffCom 911) . When completed in 2021 it will allow a 911 console in Port Hadlock or Port Angeles to fully function as 911 dispatch in either county. 2019 also saw PenCom begin a joint project with the Port Angeles Fire Department and the Clallam County Sheriff’s Department Emergency Management Division for the pre- design and engineering of a joint 911 dispatch center, emergency operations center and Westside Fire Station. PAPD has now saved over 31 lives due to the Police Officer response and deployment of Naloxone in narcotics overdose situations. In 2019 PAPD recognized 12 officers with Life Saving medals for their extraordinary efforts to save lives in overdoses, suicide attempts and medical emergencies. PAPD also recognized 11 officers for Meritorious Service for actions taken in critical incidents where officers faced danger and threats to their safety. PAPD recognized 6 Detectives with the Police Star medal for their critical work under adverse conditions on multiple homicide investigations. And, retiring Corporal David Dombrowski was recognized with the Police Star medal for his work as the PAPD Accreditation Manager. L - 2August 4, 2020 Corporal Dombrowski was also recognized with a Distinguished Service medal for his performance as the Department Training Manager. The PAPD outreach programs (REdisCOVERY 1.0 and REdisCOVERY 2.0) is something we have talked and shared extensively with both Council and the public. We continue to be very proud of what has been a four-year journey to more effectively reach the most vulnerable people in our community with needed services and case management. We are grateful for the partnership with the Olympic Community Clinic and the Port Angeles Fire Department. Community Paramedic program and the grant support from WASPC that has made these programs possible. We are one of 3 law enforcement agencies in Washington with this expanded level of programs that integrates mental health field response, case management and wrap around services into programs that reduce crime and recidivism while providing needed services. In 2019 REdisCOVERY responded to over 1,000 calls for service and made over 1,700 contacts. There is rarely a bright line between calls for service that involve crimes or potential crimes such as disorderly conduct, trespassing and theft and calls that involve mental health and addiction crisis. In 2020 we will continue to refine and expand these programs. I hope that this summary inspires everyone to read the entire 2019 PAPD report. I am also hopeful it will provide the basis for questions and interest from both Council and the pub lic.

L - 5August 4, 2020 Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 CHIEF’S MESSAGE As I write this in late July 2020 U.S. unemployment has dropped to 11.1 per cent while Clallam County has dropped to 10.9 per cent. All good news. Nationwide police duty related deaths due to illness, specifically COVID-19 illness have surpassed deaths related to gunfire. We have entered a new and challenging world. Much of what I wrote about 2019 earlier now seems less important. As the Port Angeles Police Department entered 2020, we were ending a great year and one of notable accomplishments. On the Operations side of the Department we were fully staffed. We hired 3 part time code enforcement officers and were beginning a PAPD sponsored Police Reserve academy. We learned that we were to receive what was later determined to be a $367,000 Washington Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police (WASPC) grant for our REdisCOVERY 2.0 partnership with the Olympic Peninsula Community Clinic (OPCC). We were also under contract with OAC Services for the pre - engineering and design of a new Emergency Operations Center, a new 911 Dispatch Center and a Westside Fire Station on the Port of Port Angeles Property. As we began 2020 PenCom was continuing to be challenged with vacancies and with finding suitable applicants. The two new PenCom positions created in 2019 have yet to be realized as we continued to lose ground in our hiring and retention versus attrition. As things have evolved in early 2020, one of the outcomes of our economic challenges is a notable increase in highly suitable PenCom applicants. For PenCom, the beginning of 2020 saw the start of the 18-month project to merge the computer aided dispatch operations of PenCom and JeffCom 911 into one enterprise solution. The result at the other end will be the capacity for either 911 center to provide the full range of services to the residents of both counties in any situation. The pre-COVID world in Washington had expended considerable energy in the area of police use of force and the notion of an independent review of deadly force in all circumstances. The result for the Port Angeles Police Department was the organization of our trained detective uni t (and operations sergeant) into an independent investigative team that meets all the RCW and Criminal Justice Training Commission requirements. PAPD now has a group of investigators that can respond to any jurisdiction and cover the mandated independent investigation of the police use of deadly force. We also have an Chief Brian Smith, Photo courtesy of Peninsula Daily News L - 6August 4, 2020 Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 interagency agreement between 5 agencies that affords PAPD the opportunity to utilize a similarly trained and vetted independent investigative team from an allied agency to investigate our use of deadly force when that need arises. 2019 in Port Angeles was also notable for a spike in homicides in Clallam County. In early January and through most of February our entire Detective unit was part of an interagency investigative team that successful investigated a triple homicide off Deer Park Road. In early July our Detective unit led the interagency investigation of an arson and quadruple homicide in a trailer park west of Port Angeles. Within 18 hours of the 4 murders our investigators had located and arrested the suspect. The case work on the homicides continues today and we greatly appreciate the assistance from our partner agencies, which include the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) and detectives and agents from surrounding departments. 2019 also showed the value of the Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team (OPNET) in both proactive policing and crime reduction. Informative reports from OPNET and PAPD Detectives are contained in this issue. As our economy gradually resumes some semblance of normalcy, we know there will be challenges ahead, both short and long term. Overdose cases are up over 170 per cent from pre-COVID and we have seen notable increases in daytime DUIs and domestic violence. The financial impacts of COVID will affect the City and the Police Department well into 2021. One positive note is that we entered this crisis in a very sound financial condition and with reserves well above what might be expected. We are hopeful that the resiliency of our business community and our diverse and unique environment here in Port Angele and Clallam County will enhance our recovery. The women and men of PAPD have continued to work and provide exceptional service during this crisis. They make me proud. And, I hope that our positive and can-do attitude is value added to our community as we all move back into the daylight and a solid future. L - 7August 4, 2020 1 | P a g e Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 OFFICER OF THE YEAR Swift Sanchez We are proud to recognize Officer Swift Sanchez as the Port Angeles Police Department Officer of the Year. Officer Sanchez is mission and service oriented and made numerous sacrifices and commitments to the betterment of, not only this agency, but to her country. For a portion of 2019 Officer Sanchez volunteered for deployment to Afghanistan as an Officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve. While deployed she was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. Additionally, upon her return, she committed to a great number of collateral duties and responsibilities within the agency and was recognized for her actions. Specifically, she received two Life Saving Medals one for performing CPR and another for removing a suicidal person from a bridge railing. Officer Sanchez also received a commendation for her part in a rescue operation of two kayakers who were struggling in cold choppy waters of the inner harbor, compromising their personal safety. Officer Sanchez became part of Red Squad’s leadership team and has taken on the responsibilities of an acting supervisor. She is also an advisor for our explorer post, mentoring youth and coordinating and documenting training. She was the designated Outreach Officer partnering with a social worker to aid with the needs of our homeless population. She is a field sobriety test instructor, child forensic interviewer, and field training officer to name just a few of her collateral assignments. Swift is a member of the Shoshone-Bannock tribe. She brings a strong work ethic each day and is a positive influence on those she works with. The impact that she has on this organization will be lasting as she sets the example for newer officers to follow as well is encourages and inspires people around her. L - 8August 4, 2020 2 | P a g e Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 ACCREDITATION AWARD At the fall Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs conference in Chelan WASPC presented the Port Angeles Police Department with a 2019 Accreditation Award. PAPD is one of about 60 accredited agencies in Washington State, where there are about 300 law enforcement agencies statewide. Accreditation is an outside inspection process that usually occurs every four years during which accreditors evaluate compliance with 137 standards. A department must meet or exceed all 137 best practices in order to achieve accreditation. Some of the critical standards focus on Evidence, Records, Confidentiality, Transparency, Use of Force Review, On Going Training, Pursuit Review, Internal Investigations, Performance Evaluations, and the Absence of Bias Based Policing. Accreditation includes a process for departments to overcome challenges found during the inspection. However, PAPD was one of only four departments that passed inspection on day 1 with no issues to address.

The K9 teams work primarily on night shift for tracking fleeing suspects, locating evidence, or as a searching tool for conformation tracks. PAPD provides not only police K9 services to all law enforcement agencies in Clallam County, but in-service and advanced training for the entire NW region of the state. Our K9 teams are involved in public demonstrations and classroom visits to teach the public about the dynamics these dogs bring to our community and police department. K9 Training In January Officer Fairbanks and K9 Copper attended the Basic K9 Patrol Class which was over 400 hours of training. The training was primarily instructed by Kitsap County Sheriff’s Deputy Aaron Baker and I assisted one day a week. The departments who attended were Kitsap CO Sheriff’s Office, Bremerton PD, Aberdeen PD, and Port Angeles PD. Officer Fairbanks and K9 Copper received their certification and Washington State Police Canine Association Accreditation in April of 2019. Kitsap County Deputy Williams who attended the class was partnered with K9 Blue who was a candidate of our regional training group’s puppy program. In August, K9 Bodie, received “Master Handler” status with the WSPCA. In October of 2019 PAPD co-hosted a WSPCA K9 seminar in Kitsap County. The event was extremely successful, and the raffle raised a record amount for our association’s retired police dog medical fund. The funds are to assist officers with medical expenses once a police dog retires. One of the training sites was on the Navy’s USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier. Officer Whitney Fairbanks K-9 Copper L - 26August 4, 2020 20 | P a g e Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 DETECTIVE DIVISION SERGEANT TYLER PENINGER The majority of detective division investigations involve casework requiring specialized training, multiple victims, search warrants, and travel to other jurisdictions to gather the information needed to resolve cases. These are investigations that the Patrol Division would not be able to complete effectively due to the demands of their “routine” duties. The highest priority when assigning detective division resources is currently placed upon major crimes of violence, sex crimes, and complicated child abuse cases. There are four basic training courses each new detective is required to attend upon being assigned to the Detective Division: Crime Scene Investigation, Interview and Interrogation, Child Abuse Interviewing and Assessment, and Practical Homicide Investigation. The City of Port Angeles averages one or two murders each year. Five detectives attended the Washington Homicide Investigators Association Conference in May along with members of the Clallam County Prosecutor’s Office and the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office. This 3-day event is a lesson learned presentation of numerous murder investigations, primarily from Washington State. Detective Martin requested reassignment as a school resource officer and Officer Ordona agreed to become a detective while sharing duties as school resource officer one day a week. Detectives were involved in two major multiple murder investigations this year that involved the cooperation and contributions of numerous other law enforcement and fire department resources. In addition, PAPD detectives assisted the CCSO in a murder investigation in Forks, investigated several other adult and child deaths, incest, child rapes, child molestation, extortion, arson, false reporting, child pornography, two unrelated threats against the students and school district where both juvenile suspects were arrested, and PAPD conducted a sting operation (using only Port Angeles resources) to arrest an attempted child rapist that travelled from Bellingham to prey upon a juvenile girl in Port Angeles. On December 31, 2018, the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office received a call for a welfare check at 52 Bear Meadow Road. This was the beginning of a month-long mission to support our sister agency in their efforts to identify suspects and investigate the murders of three people at that location. Erik Smith, Trevor Dropp, Tyler Peninger, Dave Arand, Jeff Ordona, Shane Martin L - 27August 4, 2020 21 | P a g e Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 Port Angeles detectives primarily supported crime scene processing and search warrant execution. Three murderers were ultimately arrested and are in various stages of being adjudicated. In July, a quadruple murder investigation at the Welcome Inn Trailer Park began with the dispatch of Port Angeles Police and Fire to a residence fire at that location. Matthew Wetherington was tracked and taken into custody for murder and arson by the end of the first day. The two county Major Incident Response Team (MIRT) was activated and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agreed to handle the crime scene investigation. All members of the MIRT contributed resources to assist in the investigation. Wetherington was a registered sex offender at the time of the murders and had spent several years in prison for prior sex offenses. Follow up investigation and evidence analysis continue as Wetherington awaits trial. Detectives from Port Angeles are affiliated with the regional Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and had participated in a sting operation, Net Nanny 11 in 2018. In November, a case came to the attention of the detective division. The primary crime took place in Port Townsend’s jurisdiction. Detective Smith approached me and requested we conduct the investigation as the victim lived in Port Angeles. The opportunity was one that we were all interested in working as a first for our division. An order was obtained from a judge and with the assistance of the victims and their mother, the suspect engaged in hours long conversations with them and detectives. He rushed to Port Angeles from Bellingham where he was arrested by PAPD detectives waiting for his arrival. The entire investigation came down to a matter of hours. A warrant, arrest location, arrest team formation, and coaching of the conversation with the suspect took place within those few hours. The suspect was arrested for attempted rape and attempted possession of “child pornography” related to the 14-year-old victim. In Washington State, attempted rape in this case is the same degree of offense as a minor assault such as punching someone in the arm or stomach. However, the suspect used a false name during the commission of his crime. And THIS is a felony offense with the potential for a penalty including prison time. He remains in custody awaiting adjudication. Port Angeles detectives continue to work for the citizens of Port Angeles, Clallam County, and any law enforcement agency requesting help in holding criminals accountable for their actions. The Port Angeles Detective Division assisted our partners in the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, Forks PD, Sequim PD, OPNET, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and the Mojave County Sheriff’s Office, AZ in criminal investigations this year. L - 28August 4, 2020 22 | P a g e Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 OPNET The Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team (OPNET) is a multiagency taskforce comprised of investigators from the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, the Port Angeles Police Department, the Sequim Police Department, the Washington State Patrol, Homeland Security Investigations, and the United States Border Patrol. The mission of the team is to identify, investigate, dismantle, and prosecute members of the mid and upper level drug trafficking organizations responsible for importing and selling controlled substances in Clallam County. OPNET works closely with the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC), the National Park Service, the FBI, the DEA, and the US Coast Guard. OPNET also supports area law enforcement in major crime incidents and investigations that are beyond the capacity of a single agency. OPNET Detectives and Agents have special training in the service of high-risk arrest and search warrants and are trained and equipped to conduct covert surveillance of criminal offenders for extended periods of time. A PAPD Sergeant is the OPNET supervisor and he reports directly to the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office Chief Criminal Deputy. PAPD Sergeant Tom Kuch was the OPNET supervisor in 2019. OPNET is overseen by a governance board comprised of the core agencies and there is formal agreement between all the core agencies.

OPNET made 38 felony drug arrests and 5 other felony arrests. 95.18% of the OPNET cases were prosecuted and 97.5% of those resulted in guilty convictions. 2019 Investigative Highlights Our pace this year has been at breakneck speeds for most of the year starting on Jan uary 1st with the Triple Homicide. Most of the month of January was dedicated to assisting the Clallam County Sheriff’s Department with that investigation which resulted in the arrest of Dennis Bauer, Kallie Letellier, and Ryan Ward. Their cases are still pending trial. In March OPNET detectives developed a confidential informant who could target Jefferson County resident Lorentz Monsaas. We worked closely with Jefferson County and Port Townsend Police detectives on this case resulting in Monsaas’ arrest and conviction for delivery of controlled substances. This case also served to re - kindle a solid working relationship with Jefferson County. Starting in the spring of 2019 and throughout the rest of the year OPNET has been targeting drug dealers in the Forks area resulting in the arrests of Meshann Clark, Diamond Mueller, Allison Dematties, Diane Hellund, and one other whose case is ongoing. OPNET was heavily involved in the investigation of the Fred’s Guns burglary resulting in the arrest of Joey A. Maillet, who appears to be a prolific career criminal with ties to Canada. L - 32August 4, 2020 26 | P a g e Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 In the Spring of 2019 OPNET worked closely with the US Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force in organizing and executing a joint agency fugitive operation which resulted in the arrest of more than 20 fugitives wanted for warrants related to the crimes of assault, drug sales, and sex crimes. OPNET detectives developed a confidential informant who could target drug dealers on the I -5 Corridor and worked with a DEA task force to purchase heroin along the I-5 Corridor. This resulted in the DEA taking a case they are currently investigating with direct ties to a Mexican Cartel. This investigation is ongoing. In July of 2019 OPNET detectives assisted the Port Angeles Police Department with the investigation of an arson resulting in a quadruple homicide. Their assistance resulted in the apprehension of the suspect, Matt Wetherington, who currently awaits trial. OPNET also assisted the Sequim Police Department’s investigation of an Attempted Homicide in which in which Larissa Dietz was arrested and is awaiting trial. Dietz is also a person of interest related to a January Sequim Homicide. The above listed arrests, guilty dispositions, seizures, and highlights serve to illustrate OPNET’s willingness and ability to relentlessly pursue justice and act as a force multiplier for our home and partner agencies. We are proud of the work we do and look forward to the continuance of our current partnerships as well as developing new ones. RECORDS DIVISION CARLA JACOBI, RECORDS SUPERVISOR Sam Barcklow is our newest member and began working for us on 12/30/2019. He has previous experience working as a dispatcher with Pencom and with the Finance Division. His primary duties include entering infractions and court dispositions, managing the parking tickets program, processing online citizen reports and associated case entry, completing concealed pistol license and firearm transfer applications, validating WACIC/NCIC stolen property entries missing person entries, and serving as our lead customer service representative for lobby contacts and telephone calls. He is also learning how to complete the morning paperwork process to serve as Jordon’s backup, and is being developed to become the primary public record s officer for the department after Cindy Carino’s retirement. Sam demonstrates an outstanding work ethic, thoroughness and attention to detail, and willingness to learn. He is committed to providing high quality work product and performance; serving the needs of the customers, his team members, and the department; and maintaining the mission, values, and goals of the department. Welcome, Sam, and thank you for all your hard work. L - 33August 4, 2020 27 | P a g e Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 The records division workload was impacted by the implementation of Initiative 1639. Prior to the new firearm laws, law enforcement agencies were not required to conduct full NICS checks for pistol transfer applications when the purchasers possessed a valid concealed pistol license. They would run an abbreviated NICS checks for warrants, orders of protection, and any other firearm prohibitors, and conduct a local check of our records management and court system; however, they were not required to send delay, proceed, or deny notifications to NICS or letters to the firearm dealers. The new firearm laws require law enforcement agencies to complete full NICS checks for pistol transfer applications, semi-automatic rifles, pawn redemptions, pre-pawns, and rentals of handgun transfers, regardless of whether the applicant possesses a valid concealed pistol license. We processed less concealed pistol license applications in 2019 (345 compared to 377 in 2018); however, we processed more firearm transfer applications with the additional workload (621 in 2019 compared to 571 in 2018). Jordon Lemon joined the team on 12/31/2018. He worked for the city for eight years as a seasonal worker and customer service/meter reader prior to joining our team and has education and training in information technology. He and his wife Nikki enjoy spending time together and are the proud parents of their dog, Callie, who comes in to see us regularly. Jordon’s primary responsibilities include completing the morning copying, case entry, IBR Reporting, officer safety/caution/mental health entries and validations; managing CDs/DVDs; and entering trespass warning letters, animal correction notices, and residential alarm registrations. He also serves as our in-house IT specialist when we need help with “techy stuff” and serves as the department webmaster. Jordon will be transitioning into my role as the records management system subject matter expert and leader for advancement into digital records management. He is hard working, values team work, and is dedicated to outstanding customer service. He brings a wonderful personality and positive outlook that brings light and laughter into the division and rejuvenates fellow team members. Thank you, Jordon, for joining our team! Joanne Droz has diligently been championing her new role as our new Property and Evidence Officer after Vicki Morgan retired in December. Deputy Chief Jason Viada, Vicki Morgan, Joanne and I completed a full property and evidence audit between November and March for the first time in department history. At the beginning of July, Joanne was called out to assist at the crime scene for the Arson/Homicide case at the Welcome Inn Trailer Court and spent several days processing and collecting evidence. She worked many long hours with other first responders at the scene; entering and storing items in the Property and Evidence Room; sending items to the lab; and collaborating with our detective division, ATF, and other fire and other fire and law enforcement partners. It is a rare occurrence for our Property and Evidence Officer to be called to the scene L - 34August 4, 2020 28 | P a g e Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 and manage such a large volume of property items, and Joanne courageously mastered this challenge. To quote Eleanor Roosevelt and the power of belief, “Believe in yourself. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face…you must do that which you think you cannot do.” Thank you, Joanne, for rising to this challenge and your commitment to outstanding property and evidence management! Public records requests continue to increase and ut ilize a significant amount of staff time and resources. What was once a half-time position is now a position and a half easily. The City’s costs for processing public records last year was $113,843.48, in which we recovered only $175.35 in expenses. The Records Division and Pencom process the most public records request for the City, and Cindy Carino is our Public Records Rock Star. She works tirelessly to process the majority of these requests and provide outstanding customer service. She also serves as the department’s ACCESS TAC (Technical Agency Coordinator) who is responsible for ensuring all employees are complying with the ACCESS rules and regulations for use and completing their required training. She also manages the tri - annual ACCESS audit, which will occur again in 2020. She has also served as the backup property officer for several years and is assisting Joanne with the Property and Evidence room management. Thank you, Cindy, for supporting our mission of providing fullest assistance with public records requests and continuing to serve the needs of our department, the criminal justice system, and our community with professionalism, compassion, and integrity. Despite the many changes and adversity, we’ve faced this year, we must also continue to perform our regular duties and responsibilities. As they say in show business, the show must go on! There are parking tickets, traffic infractions, trespass warning letters, animal correction notices, residential alarm registrations, and disposition s to enter; customers to wait on in the lobby and phone calls to answer; fingerprints to be taken; criminal background checks and ride along applications to process; and records requests for the prosecutor’s office, Division of Youth and Family Services, and other criminal justice agencies to complete. Thankfully, I have an outstanding team who works together to accomplish these tasks and make the department shine. I am grateful every day for their service, commitment, performance, and work ethic. Thank you, Cindy, Joanne, Jordon, and Sam, the mighty Records Division Champions!

PenCom Communications Officers are distinguished by the critical nature of Public Safety (Law Enforcement, Fire and Emergency Medical) dispatch work and the specialized knowledge and skills required to perform these duties. 2019 was another year that PenCom operated with a staffing shortage with Communications Officers working an extreme amount of overtime throughout the year to cover shifts. L - 36August 4, 2020 30 | P a g e Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 Some staff from JeffCom, our neighboring 9-1-1 Center in Jefferson County, and Deputy Director of Communications Karl Hatton stepped in when needed to help cover some shifts an relieve the pressure on our Communications Officers. We are very thankful to them for that assistance. We are continually recruiting for Communications Officer Candidates so if you feel this might be a career for you go to the City of Port Angeles website (cityofpa.us) and click on Job Openings for further details. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Allen Coleman has joined PenCom to work in Information Technology. He brings with him a multitude of skills developed with years of IT experience in both the retail and government sectors. He is a welcome addition to the team. We are working towards the consolidation of our d ata with JeffCom, building towards a unified dispatching system both departments can work off of and share between each other and the public safety agencies in both counties. PenCom continues to work jointly with the County’s radio maintenance team as we continue to improve and expand our public safety radio communications by implementing ESChat, a push to talk radio network using cell phones. Some of the other major projects worked on in 2019: We completely replaced our 911 phone line infrastructure for connections to the State Next Generation 911 system; installed new interfaces to share data and to increase the efficiency and services of the County’s Jail for their Victim Notification Information System, their commissary system, and their C-Tel video phone system; created and started to populate an address point layer for increasing our GIS mapping accuracy and getting us ready for the move to Next Generation 911; and a complete revamping of our forms to take advantage of new more secure technologies to access the state and national criminal justice databases. TRAINING 2019 was a trying year for our training program. After losing six dispatchers in 2018, including our long time Training Coordinator Tony Rife, we knew this year would be a pivotal year towards getting our center staffed. Unfortunately, with only a 33% success rate, four out of the six trainees didn’t make it through our training program. However, we are very proud of Olivia Hatton and Cody Brooks who successfully completed training and have joined our team as Communication Officers. In an effort to continue staffing our center we saw the need to add Communication Training Officers (CTO’s) in order to continue hiring. Congratulations to the three newest members of our Training Staff - Jessica Conner, Heather Conway and Chelsea Jensen who successfully passed CTO course and are now officially certified Communication Training Officer’s for our center. Although our journey towards staffing is only beginning and we have a long road ahead of us, We are excited and confident we will get there and eventually be fully staffed. We are also very proud of our Training staff and their ongoing efforts to help us reach our goals. As we continue ahead, we are working diligently to improve our training program while staying in compliance with state guidelines and training requirements.

OUTREACH In 2016 PAPD began created an outreach program and social worker partnership with the “Housing Beat”. In 2018, PAPD partnered with Olympic Peninsula Community Clinic (OPCC) to create the REdisCOVERY program with the purpose of establishing a mental health field response unit. Following its successful introduction, the REdisCOVERY program significantly expanded its co-response role in 2019. Inspired by the Police Assisted Addiction Recovery Initiative (PAARI) started in Gloucester, Massachusetts and similar programs across the country, REdisCOVERY is based on data which shows that more than 80% of police calls for service are related to social crises such as addiction, mental illness and homelessness. Many of these calls are related to criminal activity and / or have the potential for violence. Master of Social Work (MSW) Amy Miller rides with PAPD officers where she co-responds to calls for service, and also provides direct outreach to community members who are identified as needing help accessing services. Officer Jackson VanDusen and MSW Amy Miller L - 43August 4, 2020 37 | P a g e Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 In order to provide necessary services, REdisCOVERY partners with a wide array of service organizations across the county, including religious groups, behavioral health, food and housing programs. REdisCOVERY also works with other law enforcement and emergency response agencies on the North Olympic Peninsula, including Port Angeles Fire Department, Sequim PD, Clallam County Code Enforcement, Clallam County Sheriff’s Department, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, and US Border Patrol. In 2019 REdisCOVERY responded to more than 1,000 calls and made more than 1,700 contacts . Among those calls was a situation in which the team responded to a report of a known individual being asked to leave a local provider’s office for disruptive behavior. The team was able to engage the individual calmly and effectively due to their previous relationship. After de-escalating the situation, they provided transport to a soup kitchen for a meal, and then to a local mental health provider, where the individu al was immediately screened for admission to their respite center. After being accepted into the respite program, the team was able to assist the provider by picking up the individual’s prescriptions so that they could remain in the program safely. The calls REdisCOVERY receives are those that are not likely to end in arrest —the parties involved require services rather than enforcement. By routing those calls to REdisCOVERY, PAPD officers remain available to respond to other calls and situations. The partnership with REdisCOVERY allows PAPD to provide better, more appropriate service to the community as a whole. Due to the success of the joint PAPD/REdisCOVERY program, Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) funded a significant a $367,000 expansion of REdisCOVERY for 2020. Field response has been extended and formal case management is being implemented to provide arrest and jail alternatives, with the goal of diverting criminal behavior that is driven by behavioral health issues before it begins or escalates. PAPD, Olympia PD and Yakima PD are the three agencies in Washington that in 2020 have received significant grant funding to expand their outreach programs. L - 44August 4, 2020 38 | P a g e Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 USE OF FORCE In 2019 Officers used force in 87 incidents, which is down from 2018’s 114 incidents, and back to 2017’s level, which was also 87 incidents. However, that was up from 2016’s 80 incidents In 2019 Officers handled 24,227 police incidents which is down from 2018’s 25,522 incidents, which was also down from 2017’s 26,885 which in turn was down from 2016’s historically high 27,183 incidents. All use of force incidents were reviewed by command staff soon after their occurrence. All use of force was reasonably necessary. In 2019 Officers used Level 1 force 49 times, which is just over half of 2018’s 80 times. Firearms were deployed 23 times which is up from 2018’s 21 times, Tasers were deployed without being actuated 12 times in comparison to 2018’s 11 times and were actuated 12 times in comparison to 2018’s 11 times. Level 2 force was only used once in 2019, which is way down from 2018’s 6 times, pepper spray was not used in 2019, but in 2018 it was used twice. There was one baton incident in 2019, but it was used to pry not to strike. In checking for early warning trends for 2019 I also completed an analysis of the use of force by individual officer. 7 Officers in special or administrative assignments did not report using force and were not listed as being involved in any use of force incidents which is up from 3 officers not reporting use of force in 2018. Only 25 Officers were reported as using force or being present during use of force incidents in 2019, which is down from 2018’s 30. In 2018 one officer was involved in 13 incidents, which is way down from one officer involved in 22 incidents in 2018. In 2017 the highest number was 19, and it was a different officer. The highest number in 2016 was also 19. Also, in 2018 two officers were involved in 18 incidents. I perceive no early warning trends whatsoever for 2019 especially given the substantially smaller numbers. Nevertheless, I conducted an additional analysis of the officer in comparison with other officers. The officer responded to 1782 calls, which is substantially fewer than the top two officers who responded to 2327 and 2158 calls. The officer wrote 218 reports, which is substantially fewer than the top two report writers who wrote 421 and 362 reports. The officer made 23 arrests while the top two officers both made 66 arrests. The officer wrote 17 infractions which is less than half of the top officer who wrote 37 and half of the second officer who wrote 34. Even the examination of field interviews, which is another indicator of self-initiated activity and assertive policing showed the officer initiated 30 field interviews while the top officer initiated 40 and two officers tied for second place with 34 each. Further analysis of the officer’s patrol schedule showed that he worked half of the year on day shift and half the year on night shift, which is standard for PAPD. There is no outstanding factor that would cause concern over this officer and these 13 use of force incidents, and again it is substantially less than the numbers for preceding years. Deputy Chief Jason Viada L - 45August 4, 2020 39 | P a g e Port Angeles Police Department 2019 Annual Report 2019 Finally, the review of 2019 shows that when force was used it was properly reported. All use of force incidents had at least one officer completing a narrative and an attached “Police Department Use of Force Report.” The table below contains a comparison of 2019 totals with 2018’s totals.
