Contract for Commumca- 2 Contract for Communications Console Furniture Modification
tons Console Furniture
Modification Naomi Wu, Police Department Communications Manager, reviewed the request for
Watson Furniture to modify the current custom radio console furniture in order to
accommodate the new computer based 9 -1 -1 telephone system. She advised the
Council that Watson Furniture was the successful bidder for building the consoles in
1995 for the 9 -1 -1 project, and those rack mounted phones need to be replaced The
cost is in excess of $15,000 due to the customization required.
CONSENT AGENDA:
Mayor Wiggins observed that the funding is coming from the County, which was
confirmed by Ms. Wu. Discussion followed concernmg the projected longevity of the
furniture and whether the furniture is ergonomically correct. Councilmember Rogers
felt the price was exorbitantly high, and Ms. Wu responded this is a standard cost in the
industry Councilmember Rogers noted that this was not rebid, and Ms. Wu reviewed
the previous bid submitted, the competitiveness of the bid, and the quality of the
product provided by Watson Furniture. Lengthy discussion followed, and the
possibility of delaying contract approval due to the price was considered.
Communications Manager Wu reviewed the time frame for building the furniture,
emphasizing that an RFP was issued for the new telephone system with a completion
date of May 30. She also explained that this modification requires the consoles be
completely pulled out, as there are equipment cabinets containing a great deal of
electrical equipment that must be treated with care. Manager Quinn recommended that,
in light of the importance of emergency communications, this project should proceed
as soon as possible. Councilman Headrick asked if another company could provide
installation, but Ms. Wu was uncertain as to whether another company would be willing
to do so in view of the warranty associated with the equipment.
Councilmember Erickson moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the contract with
Watson Furniture Systems in the amount Hof $17,090.19. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Headrick. Councilmembers Rogers and Williams urged
staff to be cognizant of the need to provide more thorough information to Council when
submitting recommendations of this type. A vote was taken on the motion, which
carried 6 1, with Councilmember Rogers voting in opposition.
In considering the Consent Agenda, Councilman Williams referenced Page 2 of the
January 25, 2003, City Council minutes, Ennis Creek Estates, Line 6, where the
statement is made, "the recent new subdivision ordinance passed by Council does
provide an option of finishing the lots without the requirement of the final plat He
suggested that finishing the lots be changed to offering the lots for sale.
Economic Development Director Smith was asked to provide an overview of the
contracts included in the Consent Agenda. He indicated the contracts with the
Economic Development Council, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Port Angeles
Downtown Association were largely unchanged from the previous year, with the
exception that they have been standardized in terms of language dealing with issues
such as civil rights and liability insurance. Mr. Smith indicated that the three agencies
have done a banner job in partnering to accomplish many economic development
successes.
Consideration was given to the contract with the EDC, and Mr Smith indicated the
contract amount is unchanged. Mayor Wiggins inquired as to the Entrepreneur Priority
containing the development of an angel/venture capital network Jim Haguewood,
Executive Director of the Economic Development Council, approached the podium
and explained that, as a part of the Clallam Networks contract, there is the element of
the finance mfrastructure, which will be going before the EDC Board in March One
specific element is the creation of an angel/capital network Through research via the
industry clusters, there were a number of interviews conducted to ask if there were
individuals who were interested in pooling available assets into a local fund for the

purpose of allowing local investors, through a managed structure, to invest in local
companies. This would create a potential access to capital, and the idea was received
quite favorably. Further discussion was held on the EDC's future action plans
Councilmember Rogers initiated a round of applause for Mr Haguewood for his
leadership and skills in moving the EDC forward. She pledged the City's continued
support for Clallam Networks, and Councilman Campbell, in echomg Councilmember
Rogers' remarks, noted the Economic Development Council has developed into a very
effective organization with strong input to companies wishing to do business in Port
Angeles. The industry clusters are producing synergies far beyond what was
experienced in the past. Mr. Haguewood expressed appreciation, but emphasized all
efforts have been collaborative throughout the county.
Economic Development Director Smith then directed attention to the Chamber of
Commerce contract, where the amount for the Visitors Center remains the same as in
past years. Funding for tourism programs in 2002 was $234,000; for 2003, the funding
proposed is $217,145. When queried as the reason for the decrease, Russ Veenema,
Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, approached the podium and explained that
the previous year's funding involved monies from reserve. At that time, it was
acknowledged that reserve funds could not be used on a continual basis Mr Smith
indicated that, under Mr. Veenema's leadership, there are efficiencies in economies
because of the joint marketing efforts, all of which have proven very successful
Councilmember Rogers offered kudos to Mr. Veenema for his successes with the
Chamber's efforts.
Mr. Smith proceeded to a review of the contract with the Port Angeles Downtown
Association, noting that the contract provides financial support to allow a continuation
of the Main Street Program, as well as parking lot management. Fundmg proposed for
2003 is the same as in 2002. He emphasized that, with all three of the groups, the
frequent communications and team efforts have resulted in some very strong
partnerships to the benefit of the community Councilmember Rogers commended the
Association's commitment to a strong downtown through the establishment of public
and private partnerships.
Councilman Braun moved to accept the Consent Agenda, to include: 1.) City

MCA 01 -02B Proposed Revision to Parking Ordinance
Community Development Director Collins explained that the recommendation on
parking revisions involves two different versions of the Ordinance. Should the Council
opt to delay action on the longer version following the public hearing, it is
recommended that the shorter version be adopted in view of the fact there are major
projects being undertaken in the City that are currently in the design phase. In order
to proceed, the developers will need to know what the design requirements for parking
will be.
Director Collins indicated there had been a work session on the longer version being

Subject: EDC and PADA Contracts
After the February 5, 2002 City Council meeting, Councilman Williams told me that
he had intended to ask why the EDC and PADA contracts for 2002 had inconsistent
provisions. Apparently, he forgot to ask his question during the consent agenda
portion of the meeting. Specifically, he wondered why the EDC contract contained a
non discrimination clause but the PADA contract did not and why the PADA contract
required a $1 million insurance policy but the EDC contract did not. I bring this to
your attention so that next year you are prepared to address these apparent
inconsistencies.

DATE: MAY 30, 2000
To: MAYOR DOYLE AND CITY COUNCIL it
FROM: Timothy J. Smith, Economic Development Dire
SUBJECT: City EDC Contract Year 2000
Summary: Consistent with the 2000 City Budget, staff has prepared the attached contract with
Clallam County EDC for the provision of services during the year 2000. The contract provides for
the City's contribution to typical county -wide economic development services.
Recommendation: City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the attached contract with the
Clallam County Economic Development Council for 2000.
Background Analysis: Consistent with the proposed 2000 City Budget, staff has prepared the
attached contract with Clallam County EDC for the provision of economic development services.
The agreement outlines terms, conditions, services, products and delivery time frames, and has been
developed consistent with the 2000 Work Plan for the City Economic Development Program, Port
Angeles Works!
The contract for 2000 is similar to previous annual agreements to include typical services found in
earlier contracts. Highlights of the agreement include a Core Business Recruitment and Assistance
Program, and maintenance of the Industrial Property and Infrastructure Inventory.
The contract amount for the year 2000 is $20,000. Although the contract amount in past years has
ranged as high as $35,000, the higher valued contract periods reflected a greater level of contacted
tasks which were pertinent to Port Angeles- specific economic development tasks, as opposed to those
tasks which are applicable to the regional efforts performed by the EDC.

The ads generated sixteen leads that were treated similar to ICCM leads.
The Council generated 16 investment leads through participation at the Anaheim
Woodworking and Furniture Supply show in early August. All were sent investment
information and received a follow up phone call. Two specifically expressed
interest in this area, and of those, one has made further contact with a request for
additional information.
Case and Proposal Management
The Council continues to work with the Port on a number of clients attracted to the
Port's multi- tenant industrial building. During the quarter, the Council prepared two
proposals for call centers interested in Clallam County as a location. Two other
proposals were developed for leads generated by the State of Washington.
Council to Lead Trade Show Marketing Consortium
The Clallam County EDC will mange participation in six industrial trade shows in
2000 for a group of eight statewide EDCs and Ports. Participants include the EDCs
in Skagit, Lewis, Grant, Chelan, Yakima and Spokane counties and the Port of
Olympia. This cooperative agreement reduces the Council's hard costs to $3,000
for our participation. The Council will be reimbursed for its management at 15% of
costs or approximately, $5,000. The trade shows are focused on value added
wood products, plastic, medical equipment and diversified manufacturing.
APCO Selected to Market Port Angeles
The Council has engaged the firm of APCO Associates of Seattle to prepare the
strategic marketing and communications plan for the City of Port Angeles. APCO
will evaluate existing target markets and develop a 3 -5 year marketing and strategic
plan to attract investment to Port Angeles. To date, APCO CEO Scott Jackson has
met with 40 local business leaders and elected officials to form an understanding of
local development issues. From these meetings as well as meetings Scott
arranged for Bart in the Seattle area, a unique approach is being developed. The
draft plan will be available for review by the City in November with implementation
in January 2000.
Infrastructure Development South Fairchild Industrial Park
In August, the Council, as contractor for the Peninsula Development Association,
received $40,000 in grant funding from the Economic Development Administration
to do the pre- engineering design for infrastructure to serve the Port of Port Angeles'
South Fairchild Industrial Park. The design will address water, sewer, power,
telecommunication and stormwater facilities for the industrial area south of the
airport. This money will be matched by a local investment of $35,000 supplied by
the City of Port Angeles and Port of Port Angeles.
Clallam Bay /Sekiu
The Council was invited to apply for, and was awarded, a $46,000 grant from the
US Forest Service to fund the remaining architectural work for the renovation of the
Sekiu Community /Conference Center. Clallam County will contribute $11,500 as
match to the Forest Service award to fund this $57,500 project. The Council will be
the project manager, and will report to the County and the Forest Service. It is
expected that this project will conclude in early 2000 with the resulting construction
documents to take the project to construction bid.
Industrial Site Inventory
The Council presented the Port Angeles inventory to the Port Angeles Works
Committee in August. The inventory has been upgraded with pictures of the sites
as well as site maps. A further update utilizing input from our real estate partners
will occur in the last quarter of 1999. Pictures and site maps will be included for
sites in Sequim, Forks and Clallam Bay /Sekiu as well as other parts of the County.
Business Assistance
During the Quarter, Kathleen Purdy, Small Business Development Specialist,
provided counseling for over 15 businesses. During the Quarter, SCORE
counselors met with approximately 26 clients.
In September, the Council, in conjunction with SCORE, held an all -day marketing
workshop. SCORE Marketing specialist Fred Parkinson from Jefferson County lead
the workshop and was assisted by local experts Rick Hert, Laurel Black and
KONP's Kevin Murphy. Fourteen entrepreneurs attended the workshop and
expressed interest in future sessions.
An Olympic Microloan Fund loan was made to a local business for $8,800. This
company provides 2.5 jobs plus employment for the owners. The loan will allow
this company to expand their product distribution and provide for potential growth
opportunities.
Business Retention
A finding of the recently completed Business Retention and Expansion Survey was
that permit processing was a major issue. Consequently, the Council held a series
of focus group meetings with the development community and Clallam County
Department of Community Development to identify issues and recommended
actions. As a result, the Department is moving forward with reorganization of the
Department to increase efficiencies. Most important, Director Bob Martin has
committed to establish benchmarks for permit processing.

Dear Becky:
Thank you again for the time you spent interviewing as a part of our Business Expansion and
Retention Pilot Project. The enclosed summary document is the result of your work.
Both the number of businesses contacted and the quality of information collected exceeded my
expectations. You helped identify important issues that the Council will have to address if we are
to support expansion of existing firms. Moreover, the survey confirmed that our community is a
good place to do business and that our economy is growing.
The Board of the Council has committed to repeating this survey in the future. I hope that your
experience with the project was positive and that you would consider volunteering your time
again.
If you have any questions concerning the project or the results, please contact me.
Thank you again for your support.

The success of this survey effort is directly proportional to the overwhelming
commitment made by the citizens of Clallam County. The volunteers who unselfishly gave
of their time, energy, and skills to plan, train, execute and evaluate this program deserve the
credit for the results achieved. Simply put, without the overwhelming community volunteer
support this program received, it couldn't have happened!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During December of 1998, the Clallam County Economic Development Council
(CCEDC) was awarded one of three grants by the State of Washington Department of
Community Trade and Economic Development (CTED), to participate in a six -month pilot
program. The purpose of the program was to focus on the needs of existing businesses in
the county. This program, known as the Business Retention and Expansion (BR &E)
program, has been successfully integrated as a significant part of economic development
strategies in at least sixteen states.
The cornerstone of this program was an in- person survey of private business
owners or senior corporate executives. An important goal of this survey was to identify what
is perceived to be the community's strengths and weaknesses as a place to do business.
Some major objectives included identifying specific issues that were detrimental to the
success of a particular enterprise, and developing a greater awareness in the community of
the various economic and business assistance resources available.
Because of the significant economic diversity found in each region of Clallam
County, it was decided to implement this program at the community level. Advantages of
this strategy over that of a single program run from the county seat were that it involved
more people; allowed the personality /characteristics of each community to surface in the
findings; and gave community ownership to this process, as well as established a network
of volunteers in each community familiar with the entire program.
A large majority of the 115 county businesses that participated in this survey said
they felt positive about the economic future of Clallam County. Most classified growth as
slight to moderate, but steady.
Issues that were identified as playing important roles in future growth were:
D The yet to be determined impacts to local business from the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) listing of three salmon runs on the Peninsula.
D Required improvements to expand fiber optics /state of the art telecommunications
availability countywide.
D The capacity and condition of the state highway infrastructure that serves the Peninsula.
Concerns with local government and their relationship with private industry, in particular,
government's ability to promote and support business development.

The increasing economic impact of tourism and retirement promotion, and the declining
role of manufacturing, natural resource based industries and agriculture.
Heavy past dependence on natural resources, which are now unavailable or limited
to the community (either in reality or artificially through governmental restrictions), is having
a significant impact both financially and emotionally on the west end communities of the
county. On the positive side, the strong pioneer spirit that built those communities is
resurfacing in a new community pride. As one business put it, "Our community works
together rather than relying on outside help
Though wood products manufacturing remains an important component of the local
economy, especially as it has traditionally provided a core of family wage jobs, businesses
surveyed realize that major expansion of this sector is unlikely to happen. In its place, the
businesses see more light industry similar to what has begun in Carlsborg, as a likely and
acceptable alternative.
Restrictions on private property, as well as the perception that there continues to be
a steady decline in the tax base from private property becoming publicly owned, was
addressed as a concern that may affect growth potential.
Unlike so many other communities outside Clallam County, it is clear that people
(businesses) choose to be here because they perceive we have a superb quality of life.
Several notable businesses involved in this survey stated that they could relocate off the
Peninsula and be financially more successful, but will not do so unless that quality of life
deteriorates significantly.
The local appeal of small town living is apparent in all the communities involved in
this survey. People feel attached but are concerned as traditional sources of livelihood
disappear and are replaced by less community identifiable occupations. This transition is
recognized as an important but often difficult one; and one that requires understanding and
cooperation from everyone, both in the public and private sector.
The businesses that participated in this survey appreciated that their opinions were
being sought and hope their voices will continue to be heard. The volunteers who
participated in the interviews also felt that this effort was important for the businesses and
the community.
A sense of community cooperation and hope has accompanied this program as it
has unfolded. It is hoped by those who participated that this momentum will not be lost.

INTRODUCTION
This Clallam County Business Retention and Expansion Survey Report reflects a
five month effort and more than a thousand hours of volunteer time by Clallam County
businesses owners, corporate executives, community leaders, public sector officials and
employees, and concerned citizens. The purpose of this report is to provide a
representative countywide sample from private businesses to determine what they consider
the strengths and weaknesses of doing business in Clallam County.
The cooperation received for this project throughout the county was exceptional.
Over one hundred volunteers county -wide contributed a minimum of five hours each, (and
in some case up to four times that amount), participating in this effort. Without their
commitment and time, this project would not have been possible. Over one hundred and
fifteen business owners or senior corporate executives in the county also donated anywhere
from two to five hours each, helping us to understand their business and sharing their
thoughts on our community as a place to live and work.
The intent of this report is to provide information. It is not meant to provide solutions
to problems identified, but rather to supply a timely assessment that transcends the
business community as to the thoughts and opinions of those who are in business in
Clallam County. The information contained in this report is meant to be used by others to
improve our business environment.
Confidentiality to the businesses participating in this program has been guaranteed.
Only with their approval are specific issues or comments shared with others. Because of
the desire of some of the businesses to remain anonymous, a listing of participants has not
been published. In addition, to provide the level of comfort to the individuals being
interviewed and allowing frank discussion to take place, the skip it rule was applied
throughout the interview process. This rule required the interviewer to ask all the questions
on the survey form, but gave the person(s) being interviewed the right to skip, or not
answer, any question or questions of their choosing. Essential to the success of this
program, this rule in some cases may produce survey data that is incomplete or possibly
misleading.
Since the goal of this survey was to identify trends and patterns, individual
comments not related to issues presented elsewhere may not appear in this report.
Regardless, all input received is considered important and helped to shape a better
understanding of our business climate. Individual concerns, only with the prior approval of
Clallam County Economic Development Council

the person sharing that information, will be forwarded to the appropriate agency or individual
for information and /or action.
This report contains a county summary and four community summaries. The
community, or region, breakdown includes Sequim /Carlsborg (Region 1), Port Angeles
(Region 2), Forks (Region 3) and Clallam Bay /Sekiu (Region 4). Data tables are provided
for the county and community summaries.
Percentage points are rounded to the nearest whole number.
In instances where several answers were provided to a single multiple choice
question, the lower value was used. In cases where the answer required a description
rather than a value and multiple answers were chosen, the one used for computation was
the one most closely aligned with other answers given during the interview.
Tables are used throughout this report to rate certain aspects of community life. The
rating system is 1 to 5, with one being the lowest level of satisfaction. In this report when a
rated area is referred to as "below average" it means that the county /community score was
less than three.
BACKGROUND METHOD
During November of last year, the Washington State Department of Community,
Trade and Economic Development (CTED), solicited grant applications for a limited pilot
program designed to assist communities in economic development through the
enhancement of existing businesses. This program, the Business Retention and Expansion
(BR &E) Program, has been in existence for over a decade and is an established component
for community economic development strategies in more than sixteen states. Limited state
funding for this program restricted initial participation to three grants. In December, it was
announced that in addition to Clallam, Asotin and Whitman counties had been selected to
participate.
The cornerstone of the BR &E program is a community volunteer driven interview
survey of existing businesses. In- person interviews with business owners or senior
corporate executives rather than a mail survey has in the past demonstrated the greatest
success. It also presented several significant challenges the recruitment and training of a
sufficient number of volunteer interview team members, and the ability to generate
willingness by the business community to participate.

To maximize this opportunity, the strategy adopted by the Clallam County Economic
Development Council was to regionalize this effort within the county. Though less
expedient than running a single program out of Port Angeles, the benefits of having more
citizens participate in the entire process, plus the advantages of not homogenizing important
local community personality /characteristics made this an easy choice. Anticipated bonuses
to this preferred method included a greater opportunity for community ownership of this
program; as well as the establishment of effective volunteer networks in each community,
familiar with the entire program. The desire to see this program grow at the community
level, supported by the CCEDC, after the state grant period was a significant factor in the
decision to regionalize this effort.
It was with this in mind that the CCEDC turned to the local communities and asked
for their participation and partnership. It was decided that only private businesses would be
included in this phase of the survey and that a broad business cross section participation
was desired.
During January of this year, community members in Sequim, Port Angeles and
Forks got together separately, with support provided by the CCEDC, and reviewed the
proposed Business Retention and Expansion Program model, state grant prerequisites and
suggested timelines. The CCEDC decision to establish this program in each community,
providing the nucleus for a long term community oriented business retention and expansion
effort, was validated at these meetings by the enthusiasm of those who participated.
The initial tasks of these groups were to identify local companies to be visited and
recruit survey volunteers. Businesses selected and approached for participation in this
initial effort were chosen for a variety of reasons. Some of the criteria included: economic
impact in the community; number of employees; longevity; accessibility; perceived
community leadership and growth potential; type of industry and overall significance to the
community. In all cases, the number of businesses identified far exceeded the volunteer
recruitment expectations, given the program's short timelines, and had to be limited.
In Sequim this effort was championed by Esther Veltkemp, Executive Director of the
Sequim Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce, and Jack Tatom; and resided in the
Sequim Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce's Sequim Development Committee,
chaired by Bob Grey. In Forks, the City of Forks Economic Development Director, Kathy
Cunningham, lead the effort with the support and assistance of the City of Forks Economic
Development Steering Committee and the Forks Chamber of Commerce, Diane Schostak
Executive Director. The Port Angeles effort was lead by Tim Smith, City of Port Angeles
Economic Development Director, and Bill Ashley, BRE Project Manager. The Clallam

Bay /Sekiu program was supported by CCEDC board member Linda Dillard and community
member Pat Marrin. Without the leadership and energy provided by these individuals and
the respective groups, this program could not have succeeded.
The training of volunteers was conducted in Sequim, Port Angeles and Forks by
community members, and Ms. Ginger Rich of the Washington State Department of
Community, Trade and Economic Development.
Though the original target of the program was to interview 50 private sector
businesses, it became apparent early on that the interview pool could be expanded,
providing a stronger sampling and involving more people in the process. Countywide, 119
businesses were asked to participate. Of those asked, 115 did participate. Each
community felt confident that even more businesses could have been recruited to
participate, but time constraints and volunteer commitment concerns forced limiting the
number.
The interview period, which was originally established for March, extended well into
April as more interviews were added. This tremendous willingness to participate by the
business community was a plus for both the program and community groups involved.

CLALLAM COUNTY
The following summary is the combined results of the four survey regions of Clallam
County, representing the input of 115 businesses. Comments qualifying for inclusion to this
section reflect the expressed opinions of businesses in at least two or more of the surveyed
regions. Concerns or responses that represent trends or patterns within a specific survey
region will be addressed later in this report under that region's summary.
I. PROFILE OF PARTICIPATING BUSINESSES
Eight of the business owners /executives interviewed account for twenty (17 of the
businesses included in this survey. Five of the multiple business owners /executives are in
Port Angeles, two in Clallam Bay /Sekiu and one in Forks. One business owner has five
established businesses and another has three. The other six interviewed account for two
apiece. Several other multiple businesses owners participated in the survey but only under
one business.
Two of the businesses included in the survey are out of county operations but their
corporate headquarters are located in Clallam County.
Ninety -eight (85 of the businesses interviewed are privately owned. Ten (9 are
publicly held (stock) companies. Four (3 are foreign owned and three (2 are Not For
Profit chartered organizations.
Forty (35 of the businesses are classified as retail. Thirty -eight (33 are service
sector businesses. Twenty -two (19 are manufacturers. Seven (6 are in construction.
Four (3 are agriculture. Three (2 are business sector classified as financial, and one is
in wholesale trades.
When asked if their business was emerging, growing, maturing or declining, six (5
businesses said emerging; sixty -six (57 said growing; thirty -two (28 said maturing;
eight (7 said declining and three (3 did not reply.
When asked if merger, acquisition or divestiture activity was increasing, stable or
decreasing in their industry, forty -three (37 of the businesses said increasing; thirty -seven
(32 said it was stable; two (2 said it was decreasing and two (2 didn't know.
Thirty -three (29 businesses said they anticipated investing in expansion, facility
upgrades or modernization. The total dollar amount of investment is estimated to be
$17,368,000, and potential new jobs to be created are 232.
Clallam County Economic Development Council
BRE Survey
7/1/99
Page 5
When asked about their employment needs, fifty -two (45 of the surveyed
businesses said they were increasing; fifty -nine (52 businesses said theirs' were stable,
and four (3 said theirs' were decreasing.
II. INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT ISSUES COMMENTS
Fifty -eight (50 of the businesses reported they expected an increased need for
telecommunications support in the near future. Twenty -nine (25 businesses expected an
increased demand for electricity. Eighteen (16 businesses expected greater water
consumption, and fifteen (13 anticipate more demand for sewer services.
Fifty -six (48 businesses reported that new technology in their industry was
changing their business. All but one business that commented on technology indicated it
was an improvement. A large number of these businesses cited the advantages available
to them through use of the Internet.
Thirty -four (30 of the businesses interviewed stated they have had past problems
with building codes. Twenty -nine (25 of the businesses have had difficulties with
wetlands designations. Zoning problems have been experienced by twenty -five (22 of the
businesses surveyed. Twenty -two (19 businesses have had problems with fire codes,
and twelve (10 have had water rights issues. 1
Businesses from three of the four regions surveyed said barging of raw materials
and finished products out of the Port of Port Angeles would benefit their business by
reducing their transportation costs.
Businesses in two regions discussed the diminishing supply of local sand and gravel
available for mining. A suggestion was for the county to identify mineral zones and protect
those zones from encroachment and negative public reaction /complaint.
Though air transportation rated above average county -wide (Table 1), interviews in
all regions showed a dissatisfaction with the cost to fly between Port Angeles and Seattle,
as well as the schedule frequency and reliability. Several businesses interviewed need to
'Over 40% of the businesses responding to this question have had past difficulties in more
than one category. The data summary reflects multiple category input.
Clallam County Economic Development Council
BRE Survey

have reliable air transportation out of the area to provide customer service to
regional /national clients.
The need for natural gas on the Peninsula was commented on in all regions
surveyed.
The advantages of rail transportation was an item discussed by businesses in
several of the regions. A railway system would allow cost effective movement of materials
and products on and off the Peninsula and increased tourism.
The survey questions that addressed public administration were focused on state,
county and municipal government. Other public agencies were not specifically identified for
the businesses' input during the interviews. Regardless, the Port of Port Angeles was
criticized in two of the four regions for not being responsive to the community. Several
businesses thought the Port was at times heavy handed, and did not work for the benefit of
the community.
Comments on the state highway system were received from all the regions
surveyed. Maintenance of the highways was an issue addressed many times. Several
businesses commented that delays caused by scheduled maintenance were of particular
concern. Some respondents proposed that scheduled maintenance take place during other
than peak periods, preferably at night. The most frequent comment was the capacity of the
highways. Though the Sequim by -pass is seen as providing congestion relief for Region 1,
many felt two lanes are insufficient for Highway 101. Similar concerns were raised about
Highway 112. The highway system was rated the most harshly by the businesses where
transportation of goods and materials was a significant part of their operating costs. Others
felt local tourism suffered because of the state highway deficiencies.
Manufacturers in two regions discussed the cost to business when power outages
occur. One business said that they estimate losing a week of production each year from
power outages. The cause of this disruption identified the most often was downed power
lines.
Businesses in all the regions expressed concern for what they perceived as the
disproportional influence of a "no growth" attitude in county government. In particular,
Regions 3 and 4 expressed concerns that this influence, which they felt had the strongest
public support in the other two regions, was spilling over to their areas to the detriment of
community growth and prosperity.
Clallam County Economic Development Council
BRE Survey
7/1/99
Page 7
All the regions surveyed voiced their concern for what they perceived as a shortage
of land available for development. In Region 1, the Carlsborg moratorium was criticized as
detrimental to growth. The lack of land available for agriculture was also mentioned.
Region 3 businesses reported that the disproportionate amount of public land limited
development and economic growth. All regions addressed concerns on the impact of the
ESA listings, and increasing environmental restrictions, as the major cause for the
shrinkage of land available for development.
The improvement in fiber optics telecommunications availability was the most
pressing utility need addressed countywide. The desire for greater access, increased
reliability and speed of communications was expressed repeatedly in all regions surveyed.
The need for improvement in telecommunications capabilities in the county was most often
linked to business expansion plans. A related concern expressed was for the reliability of
cellular telephone communications.
Businesses throughout the survey area felt under appreciated by local government.
Some respondents in several of the regions were critical of what they perceived as unequal
treatment by public entities favoring new businesses as compared to existing businesses.
A revision of the State's B 0 tax law was recommended by several businesses in
two regions. They proposed that the tax be tied to performance (net) rather than gross
sales.
Dissatisfaction with county government was expressed in all the regions
participating in this survey. The Department of Community Development was criticized for
being unresponsive and uncaring towards business and tended to be challenging rather
than cooperative. Politics was also singled out as a determent for progress. Several of the
businesses stated the belief that a change to a council- manager type of county government
would work better.
Retailers in three regions surveyed discussed the unfair pricing practice of
pharmaceutical companies that discriminate against independent retailers. The price
breaks given to non profit and mail order companies puts local retailers at a disadvantage.
Several of these retailers discussed the extraordinary paperwork burden required by
governmental agencies for them to provide health care products and services for customers
on government insurance plans.
The change in the federally established minimum wage, and scheduled future
changes, concerned businesses in two regions.
Clallam County Economic Development Council
BRE Survey
7/1/99
Page 8
Businesses in all regions surveyed talked about the costs of goods, materials and
services being higher because of the remoteness of the Peninsula and the distances
involved.
III. COMMUNITY ISSUES COMMENTS
Fifty -nine (51%) businesses expressed concerns on the impact of the ESA
threatened listing of three salmon runs, and potentially increased sensitive
area /environmental regulations that could accompany the listings. The concerns most
expressed in the eastern portion of the county were the affect on water availability on
agriculture practices, development and retail spending. The central portion of the county's
businesses had concerns on the affect on development, forest management and timber
supply, recreational activities, and the local economy (money supply). The western portion
of the county expressed concerns on timber harvesting, timber supply, fishing tourism, and
use /development of private land.
The availability of medical doctors willing to accept new patients was an issue in
Regions 1 through 3. Employers saw this shortage as not only a handicap for their
employees, but also a serious disadvantage in recruiting skilled position labor from outside
the area.
The loss of family wage jobs in the county was a concern in all regions. Retailers in
particular voiced this opinion.
The survey area includes five public school districts and several private schools.
Four of the public school districts were addressed during the survey. 2 All regions
expressed pride for their schools, but survey satisfaction was highest in Region 1, followed
in order by Region 2, Region 3 and Region 4. Businesses in several regions said schools
need to do a better job in preparing the students to enter the work force. In particular,
respondents said that not enough emphasis was given to vocational trades and customer
service skills. The Port Angeles Skills Center was singled out for praise, as was Peninsula
College.
The perceived poor work ethic among younger employees was discussed in all four
regions.
2 The Cresent School District was not mentioned by respondents.
Clallam County Economic Development Council
BRE Survey
7/1/99
Page 9
A perceived attitude by some businesses in each region is the community's
reluctance to accept change. Several businesses said their community was bound by
tradition, which may be good in some things but not always progressive.
Retailers and service providers in all four regions said customer loyalty to local
businesses was community strength. Some did comment that out of town shopping by
locals negatively affected their businesses.
The most received comment throughout the entire survey was the high level of
satisfaction Clallam County residents had for their quality of life. Recreational opportunities
were also discussed as a major part of that quality of life, though some respondents in
several regions were critical of the lack of non outdoor recreational options, especially for
young people.
Sixty -nine (60 of the businesses surveyed said they believed business and
economic assistance was readily available in Clallam County. Seventeen (15 said they
didn't think assistance was available, and twenty -nine (25 said they didn't know. Several
of those who said they knew assistance was available were unsure that it really was in the
outlying communities and to small emerging businesses. The lack of commercial lending
support was criticized by several businesses in two of the county survey regions.
Eighty -six (75 of the businesses believed that the economic future of Clallam
County was positive. This opinion was strongest in the eastern half of the county. Fifteen
(13 businesses said the economy would stay about the same or weaken further. Ten
(9 businesses said they didn't know what the future held, and four (3 didn't respond.
The majority of those who thought it was positive were cautious in their appraisal; usually
commenting that they thought it would be a slow but steady growth. Some ventured to say
how that growth would come about mainly through tourism, retirement promotion, and a
diversification of light industry. No one predicted heavy industry or a rebound of the
traditional local natural based resources as being the dominating influence for our future
growth.

Clallam County Economic Development Council
BRE Survey

The difficulty of local recruitment of high skilled positions throughout all business
sectors surfaced repeatedly. Out of area recruitment for these positions was hampered by
a variety of factors, such as perceived remoteness, availability of doctors who were
accepting new patients, lack of availability of specialized medical care, low wages and the
lack of job opportunities for spouses.
The quality of the work force was rated highest of the four county regions
participating in this survey. (Table 4)
The businesses were asked about the company's investment in employee training.
Thirty -eight (67 businesses said that the company's investment was increasing. Fifteen
(26 said that company investment in training was stable. One (2 said company
investment was decreasing, and five (9 did not respond.
II. INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT ISSUES COMMENTS
Thirty -one (54 of the companies said they anticipated an increased need for
telecommunications support. Nine (16 companies felt their use of electricity would be
increasing. Eight (14 expected to have a greater demand for sewer services. Seven
(12 companies believed water consumption would be increasing.
Thirty -two (56 companies indicated recent technology has affected their industry.
All but one business said the change was positive or provided additional
capabilities /opportunities.
Comments on local air transportation showed a concern for the cost of flights
between Port Angeles and Seattle. Negative comments were also received about the
limited flight schedule and schedule reliability.
Building permits/regulatory process was rated the lowest of the four regions
surveyed. Comments showed greater satisfaction with the City of Port Angeles as
compared to Clallam County in this area. (Table 3)
Sixteen (28 companies reported having past problems with building codes and
fifteen (26 with fire codes. Thirteen (23 businesses have had problems with zoning,
while sixteen (28 have had issues with wetland designations. Seven (12 businesses
have experienced issues dealing with water rights.

Though not specifically identified in the survey form as a question, seven (12
businesses volunteered a negative opinion on the effectiveness of the Port of Port Angeles
Clallam County Economic Development Council
BRE Survey
7/1/99
Page 13
as a governing body. Two additional businesses mentioned dissatisfaction with the Port of
Port Angeles but declined to elaborate for the interviews.
Public transportation, traffic control and county services were rated the highest of
the four county regions surveyed. (Table 3)
Planning and regulatory enforcement were rated below average. (Table 3)
Distance from suppliers and markets, combined with limited transport options was a
negative cost factor for many of the retailers and manufacturers surveyed.
III. COMMUNITY ISSUES COMMENTS
Twenty -six (46 companies stated concerns for their business future, because of
the ESA threatened listing of three salmon runs, and the environmental /sensitive area
restrictions that may accompany those listings. All the construction business sector
companies voiced these concerns, as well as a significant proportion of the interviewed
retailers. Several of this region's major manufacturers expressed similar concerns. It is
estimated that these companies employ more than 60% of the labor force involved in this
region's survey.
Respondents rated recreational opportunities highest among the four county regions
participating in this survey. Quality of life and air transportation were rated the second
highest of the four regions surveyed. (Table 3)
As was the case in the other county regions surveyed, the businesses reported that
the closeness and small size of the community helped professional networking, and
established personal relationships which improved private public sector understanding and
cooperation. The down side was often cited as being the reduced local market base for
both provided and received goods and services.
Local support of businesses by the community was cited as a community strength
though there was some criticism of out of town shopping by several retailers.
Though businesses' comments were supportive of schools in the Port Angeles
School District, some questioned if graduating seniors possessed the skills to enter the local
work force. The lack of sufficient vocational programs, and emphasis on those programs,
concerned some. Retailers in particular talked about new employees not understanding the
basics of customer service. The Port Angeles Skills Center and Peninsula College received
favorable comments.

Clallam County Economic Development Council
BRE Survey
7/1/99
Page 21
The productivity of the work force was rated higher than two of the other county
regions included in this survey, but the stability of the work force was rated the lowest of the
four regions. (Table 8)
Twenty -two (88 of the businesses reported they provide training for their
employees.
Eight (32 businesses reported increasing company training for their employees.
Fourteen (56 businesses said their company training was stable.
II. INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT ISSUES COMMENTS
Ten (40 of the businesses said that new technology has affected their industry.
Nine (36 of the businesses said they expected their telecommunications needs
to increase. Seven (28 said their need for electricity would be increasing. The use of
water and sewer services is expected to increase for three (12 businesses as well.
Satisfaction with the services provided by the City of Forks was rated the highest of
the three incorporated municipalities included in this survey. (Table 7)
The discrepancy between satisfaction of city services provided and those of the
County was the most significant of the three municipal areas represented in this survey.
(Table 7)
Several businesses recommended that the County staff a part time West End annex
to provide better and timelier service to West End residents.
Survey participants rated health care higher than the other three county regions
surveyed. (Table 7)
Building permits /regulatory process satisfaction was rated the highest of the county
regions surveyed. Comments from those surveyed showed a significant approval of this
service at the city level, but a less enthusiastic response towards county support. (Table 7)
Seven (43 businesses indicated having had problems with building codes. Three
(14 said they have had problems with zoning issues. Four (21%) have encountered
problems with designated wetlands. One (4 business has had an issue with water rights
and another business (4 has had problems with fire codes.

strongest in the central and eastern parts of the county, is unfairly influencing county
decision making that directly impacts this region.
Clallam County Economic Development Council
BRE Survey
7/1/99
Page 22
The difficulties in obtaining commercial loans and group health insurance in this area
was mentioned several times as significant drawbacks to local businesses and potential
growth /expansion.
Several businesses stated the need for more traffic lights on Highway 101 (within
the city limits), during the high volume summer season.
The lack of city sidewalks, especially on Highway 101 and customer friendly parking
were addressed.
Though overall satisfaction with the highway infrastructure was good, several
businesses commented on the lack of highway maintenance in several areas that presented
safety issues.
High freight costs because of the distance from suppliers, and in some cases
customers, makes goods and services more expensive.
Limited remaining capacity for waste treatment on the city system may stall city
growth.
III. COMMUNITY ISSUES CONCERNS
Fourteen (56 of the businesses identified anticipated environmental restrictions
associated with the ESA listing of three salmon runs as having a negative impact on their
business.
Four (16 of the business indicated that the disproportionate amount of public land
in their area had a negative impact on both community growth and future prosperity. The
restricted use of and access to these public lands further hurt local recreational /tourism
opportunities that are becoming increasingly more important to the community.
Though local schools rated well, several businesses expressed concerns on the
preparedness of high school graduates to enter the business- community. Insufficient
vocational skills are emphasized, and the lack of basic customer service training requires
businesses to offer remedial skills training to new employees.

II. INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT ISSUES COMMENTS
Eight (73 of the businesses interviewed expressed concern that the ESA
threatened listing of three salmon stocks and related sensitive area legislation will negatively
affect their business and the community.
All the businesses acknowledged the increased importance of tourism on their
economy.
Five (45 of the businesses suggested that incorporation of their community would
be beneficial.
Four (37 of the businesses said that recent technology advances have had a
positive impact on their business.
Three businesses (27 said they projected an increase of telecommunications use,
and one (9 projected an increase in water and sewer use.
Of the businesses surveyed, five (46 stated they have had problems with wetland
regulations and three (27 reported problems with building code requirements.
Greater promotion of West End activities and businesses is an issue. With the
increase of the county's room tax to 4 local businesses that generate that tax want to see
more effort in promoting their area, not just the east central part of the county and the
Highway 101 loop.
Five (46 of the businesses stated their support for the proposed Lake Ozette
Loop Road as a way to increase tourism and provide a second entrance /egress route for
the community.
Health care, childcare, road infrastructure and highway infrastructure were all rated
the lowest of the four regions in the county participating in this survey. (Table 9). Health
care and childcare rated low because of a lack of availability. Road and highway
infrastructure were rated low due to deterioration and a lack of maintenance. The lack of
highway signage for tourism and recreational activities in this region, and the failure to
enforce highway weight and speed limits were mentioned as problems.
Police and fire protection, paramedic support, schools, property taxes, planning,
regulatory enforcement and county services were rated the lowest of the four regions in the
Clallam County Economic Development Council
BRE Survey
7/1/99
Page 27
county participating in this survey (Table 9). Response time was the main issue for police
protection. Both fire protection and paramedic support is a community volunteer effort only.
Some felt the public school system wasn't hitting the mark in quality of education. Most said
that property taxes were too high based on the true market value of the properties.
Planning, regulatory enforcement and county services faired poorly because as one person
put it, these communities are "at the end of the road Comments about planning ranged
from there was none, to county staff displayed a lack of a cooperative and caring attitude
toward businesses.
III. COMMUNITY ISSUES COMMENTS
Water quality was rated highest of the four regions in the county participating in this
survey. (Table 9).
Both the quality of life and recreational opportunities were rated extremely high by
those surveyed. (Table 9).
Businesses considered their community's geographic remoteness as a mixed
blessing. It provides a quality of life that is appealing to them, but the distance also adds
increased transportation costs to goods and services received from out of the area, and
limits product selection.
Many of the businesses surveyed said the community was like a family they all
knew each other and pulled together to get things done. At the same time, the size of the
community population meant a smaller local support base.
When asked, five (45 businesses said they thought business and economic
assistance was readily available in Clallam County. Four (36 said that it was not, and
one (9 said they didn't know.
Ten of the eleven businesses surveyed had guarded optimism for the future of
Clallam County's economy. They believed a slow, steady growth of the economy would
continue, with a greater emphasis on tourism and less on the traditional natural resources
base.

Summary and Recommendations
The BRE Survey was performed for three reasons: first, to identify expansion and,
second, retention issues that the Council and its economic development partners need to
address. Third, the survey was meant to measure business perceptions concerning public
services and the business environment. All three goals were met.
Clearly, the public sector can find reasons to feel both self satisfied and concerned
with the business communities perceptions concerning the economic outlook and quality of
public support services.
The business community feels optimistic about the future and the economic outlook.
There are concerns about the potential impact of ESA listings. However, our businesses
see slow steady growth. In addition, the survey identified significant planned expansions of
existing businesses. Moreover, very few firms displaying signs of significant economic
distress were identified.
Health and safety services are rated highly. However, those services requiring
direct customer service, i.e. permitting and planning rate lowest across all jurisdictions
(permitting services in Forks were rated as average). The statistical figures should not be
dismissed as simply the natural grumbling of the "regulated The individual comments
collected during the survey show a clear pattern. Businesses are dissatisfied with the lack
of customer service from local government during the permit process. This lack of service is
exemplified through unpredictable timeframes, delays and irrational applications of
standards. Comments do not support the position that the business community does not
want any regulation. It's the service.
Clallam County Economic Development Council
BRE Survey
7/1/99
Page 30
The business community does not believe that it has a voice that is heard at the
local governmental level. Consequently, perceptions are that local government has a no-
growth attitude and is not supportive of the business community.
Broader issues were identified that require immediate attention. Concern with the
existing telecommunications system was almost universal. Telecommunications was also
cited as the number one area of recent technology investment. The second most frequently
raised concern was with the impacts of salmon ESA listings. While some were directly
impacted by new forest harvest regulations, many businesses were concerned with other
impacts through water regulation and land use restrictions.
The two recommendations coming from this survey are increased communications
and customer service.
Local government should establish closer and more frequent means of two -way
communication with the business community. Mechanisms need to be more intimate and
less issue oriented than the typical public hearing or work session. The goal of the
communications should be predominantly listening. The information sought should be: how
are we doing, how are we improving, and how can we better support the business
community. Periodic customer focus groups, not public meetings or attendance at
association meetings are the recommended mechanisms.
In terms of permitting and regulation, the business community needs to be viewed
as the primary customer. Application procedures and approval processes should be
simplified, clarified and streamlined. The issue is not one of compliance. The survey
indicates there are few issues with existing regulations. The issues are ones of speed,
predictability and customer service. Moreover, the only means to identify improvements are
increased communications.
Finally, local government and regional economic development organizations must
focus on improved telecommunications and ESA issues. Public regulated{ utilities should be
pressured to upgrade facilities to ensure local businesses have state -of -the art capabilities.
Local government should also monitor the implementation of ESA and intervene in the
process to assure that impacts to local business and the economy are minimized.
In conclusion, the Economic Development Council will continue to communicate with
the business community concerning the health of the local economy and the issues they
face in operating their businesses. The Council commits that the results of this survey are
put to use and communicated to local government in an effort to further improve the Clallam
County business environment.

Re: Third Quarter 1998 Report
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
1998 Third Quarter Report
The following is a synopsis of activities and results for the quarter ending September 30,
1998.
Recruitment and Marketing
Client Activity
The Council continues to support the relocation of Pacific Bay to the Carlsborg Industrial
Park. Construction was completed on the facility September 30. The company opened
operations 10/12 with 30 employees. Much of the assistance centered upon employee hiring
and assuring telecommunications services were in place at opening. The US West strike
complicated matters. However, through our communication to the various levels of US
West and the diligence of field staff, disaster was avoided.
Crown Pacific is nearing completion of their $20 million high tech stud mill near Port
Angeles. Initial testing of the facility is underway and it should be fully operational in the
fourth quarter of 1998. Initial hires at announcement were 40, however, it appears this
number may be increasing.
The Council and Port continue to work with a major client that is evaluating expansion to
the County. The Council generated the lead through the State of Washington. Based upon
our proposal the company sought further assistance evaluating options at the Port's Port
Angeles Industrial Park. A decision can be expected in the fourth quarter.
In July, United Wholesale Supply expanded their operations to Port Angeles. The Council
was contacted through the EDC's Web Site by the company's representative and provided
assistance in site location and demographic information. This company distributes custom
cabinets and appliances.
Marketing
The Council has focused significant efforts on marketing the Port's multi -tenant
manufacturing facility. The facility is currently under construction at the Port's Port
Angeles Industrial Park. A major direct mail campaign was undertaken. Information and
spec sheets were distributed to leads generated at the IBEX marine trade show, the Anaheim
wood working show and the ICCM Call Center trade show. In addition, information has
been distributed to other leads developed from trade shows, state referrals and other sources.
Results from the display advertising program were disappointing. No contacts were
generated. However, the direct mailing to EDC members did generate two leads that are
being worked.
The Council participated in two trade shows during the quarter: the International
Woodworking Fair in Atlanta, Georgia (August) and the International Incoming Call Center
Management in Denver (September). Ten leads of expanding firms were generated at
IWF, one of which specified interest in the Olympic Peninsula. All were long term
prospects planning expansions two years out. ICCM was extremely valuable. Not only did
we generate several leads of firms looking at establishing new customer service centers, but
valuable networking contacts were made with vendors located in the Seattle area. They are
now aware that Clallam County is seeking customer service and back office operations.
The Council will support the Science Technology and Manufacturing Association at the
Tech Expo in Boston in November. The purpose of this show is to expand business
opportunities for Clallam County high tech firms. The Port of Port Angeles and Council are
providing financial support.
The Council has subscribed to a recruitment lead source operated by the National
Association of Manufacturers. NAM serves as a clearinghouse for members seeking
relocation and expansion sites, will pre qualify leads and sorts for industry type and region.
The Council purchased the service in partnership with three other Washington EDCs.
Managing partner, Dave McFadden of the Yakima Economic Development Council has
been asked to sit on the NAMS committee developing this service. Our participation in
NAMS will gain access to leads that are bypassing state contacts and consultants. In
reviewing past leads the typical client is a small to moderate sized firm with 50 -200
employees.
Clallam County Opportunity Fund
The Council has managed the review process for the Clallam County Opportunity fund.
The fund will result from sales tax proceeds as authorized under RCW 82.14.370, Sales and
Use Tax for Distressed Counties Public Facilities in Rural Counties. Discussions with the
Council, the Port of Port Angeles and the cities of Port Angeles, Forks and Sequim have
resulted in a recommendation to be made by the Council to the Clallam County
Commissioners which will outline investment and operating principles. The intent of the
law was to create a local long term financing program for infrastructure which will create
jobs. The recommendation to be made to the Commissioners outline the following
principals:
Sustainability of the program and maximum job and economic impact
Promote local initiative and sound planning
Support basic job creation and private capital investment
Support feasibility or marketing studies for speculative projects
In addition, implementation, administrative and evaluation processes are addressed in the
recommendation.
Business Assistance
SCORE
James Budd, new SCORE Counselor has brought his banking background to eleven clients
during the quarter. Jim spends one day a month at the Seattle Business Information Center
and the Council will look to him for advice on improving local resources for small
businesses. Chuck Lamb met with twenty -three clients. The increase counseling activity is
a result of the heightened marketing of the Council's services.
SBDC
Kathleen Purdy, Business Development Specialist, provided a program update to the
Council at the September Board Meeting. The update outlined the services provided and
their prioritization in terms of time spent. Those are as follows:
Buying a business
Selling a business
Financing/sources /fmancial analysis/cost control
Business Plans
Marketing/Sales
Partnerships
Hire/Fire employees
Analyze the business
Inventory control
The investment dollars for Clallam County through July 1998 is $3,736,000 with 19 new
jobs and 1.5 saved jobs.
Olympic Microloan
Two loans were made during the quarter. The first was to a start-up retail establishment for
$8,000 and the other $5,000 loan was to purchase an existing retail business. The Council
hosted the Olympic Microloan Steering Committee meeting in September.

Re: Second Quarter 1998 Report
The following is a synopsis of activities and results for the quarter ending June 30, 1998.
Recruitment and Marketing
Recruitment
The Council worked with four clients during the quarter and continues the relationship with
three of them. The fourth, a Call Center, informed the Council that the company had
eliminated Washington State as a possibility due to the financial impact of the B 0 tax on
their retail operation. This issue was forwarded to state officials. Of the three remaining,
the Council has prepared proposals and provided follow up information regarding labor
availability, available skills and workforce training capacity. Total potential employment
approaches 180 jobs.
In addition, the Council is managing 31 other recruitment leads developed from previous
trade shows, state referrals and other sources.
Preplanning is underway for participation in three trade shows slated for late summer /fall:
International Woodworking Fair in Atlanta, Georgia (August); International Plastics
Exposition in Chicago, Illinois (October) and International Incoming Call Center
Management in Denver (September). The first two shows are in partnership with a
consortium of four other EDC's. The Call Center show is a sole initiative of the Council.
Plan and reservations are in place for three shows in 1999.
Multi tenant Manufacturing Facility
Marketing for the Port of Port Angeles' new multi- tenant manufacturing facility at Fairchild
Industrial Park has been underway since May. Display and classified advertising has
appeared in the Puget Sound Business Journal and local publications. The phased program
will include contacts with the local real estate community for outside leads, direct mail, and
direct calls on past relocated businesses to develop referrals. Each of the three current leads
has expressed marked interest in the building. The Port has let the bid for the building and it
is expected to be finished in the fall of 1998.
5. c
Crown Pacific and Pacific Bay
Construction is on schedule for the fall opening of the new Crown Pacific Mill. The
Company has initiated hiring of the 45+ positions. Permitting assistance was provided in
the second quarter for the facilities air quality permit and grading permit.
Construction has begun on the building in Carlsborg Industrial Park for Pacific Bay, Inc.
Assistance was provided with closing on the property master business licensing. The
Company's projected employment is 30. Pacific Bay is pleased with the community and
regulatory reception to their investment. They have discussed potential expansion to
include manufacturing in the near future.
Economic Development Planning
The Council hosted a meeting in April of all of the elected officials in the County. The
purpose of the meeting was to examine and discuss the economic development plans of the
Council, the cities of Port Angeles, Forks and Sequim, the County, the Port of Port Angeles
and the PUD. The meeting was an unqualified success if for no other reason than it served
as a forum for the officials to meet and discuss issues of mutual concern. The result of the
meeting was that the Council prepared a comparison of economic development objectives of
these jurisdictions for analysis by the group. Additionally, staff was to prepare a summary
of land -use designations for industrial development. A meeting was to be scheduled for
July.
Community Development
Clallam Bay Sekiu Community Center
The Council has been supporting the community of Clallam Bay /Sekiu in their revitalization
efforts. A key project identified by the community was the renovation of the Sekiu
Community Center, a Washington State historic landmark situated in Sekiu. The
community wants to renovate the building for the community to use, as well as marketing it
as a conference center for tourism related activities. The Council assisted the community in
preparation and attendance at the Governor's Timber and Salmon Symposium in Ellensburg
in June. A limited number of communities are invited to bring their projects to the
Symposium for several days of intensive technical assistance and development. Kathy
Shingleton, Gene Laes, Chris Mohr, and Patrick Marrin were the community members on
the team. This process was the same one used by the Port of Port Angeles, the City of Port
Angeles and the Council to develop funding for the Valley Creek Estuary project. The
community now has a strategy including renovation of the building, expansion of
community and senior programs and plans for conference and meeting center programs to
expand the tourism base of the community. The Council will continue to support this
project as it is refined and implemented by the community.
Sequim Streetscape
The Council met with representatives of the Sequim Streetscape Committee and Dick
Larman, Scoping Agent from the Washington Community Economic Revitalization Team
for the Sequim Streetscape project. Dick will be providing technical assistance in the form
of expertise on transportation, downtown revitalization, safety issues, access to materials
and information on funding sources. The Council will continue to support this project.
Clallam County Golf Extravaganza
The Council held its Fourth Annual Golf Extravaganza in June. Seventy-six golfers
participated in a perfect day of sunny skies and fast paced best ball scramble. For the
second year in a row, the team led by Council President -elect Randy Johnson from Green
Crow won "Low Gross" and tournament Hole -In -One sponsor Dan Wilder, Jr.'s team won
"Low Net Many local businesses as well as some corporate partners from off the
Peninsula sponsored the event. A special note of thanks is given to Council member Ken
Hays of Hays Architects who contributed year -long participation and support. The
Tournament netted $1,785. Sponsors and players are already asking to participate in 1999.
Business Assistance
SCORE
The Council introduces James Budd, new SCORE Counselor joining the EDC in June.
Jim's background is in banking and he had worked with the SBA and SCORE as a corporate
banker for many years. He completed the courses held by SCORE in Seattle and is assisting
in the Seattle office once a month along with volunteering his time in Port Angeles. Veteran
counselor, Chuck Lamb, visited with twenty -nine entrepreneurs during the quarter, some
more than once. The Council is actively marketing the business counseling services
available. The early phone contacts indicate an active interest in these services.
SBDC
Kathleen Purdy, Business Development Specialist, counseled businesses during the quarter
resulting in two new business start-ups with 3.5 jobs, creation of one additional job through
business expansion and an investment of $212,500. Her counseling also resulted in seven
saved jobs. She conducted a workshop on "Starting a Business" which was attended by
twelve participants. She is currently working with clients on good projects with a potential
of $2,000,000 investment in Clallam County.
Bank Meeting
The Council will host commercial loan officers from banks around the County at a luncheon
on July 29 to present our business assistance programs for increased referrals. In addition,
we will have representatives from U S Department of Agriculture Rural Development
Assistance, Cascadia Revolving Fund, and Washington State Department of Community
Trade and Economic Development. These specialists will present information on loan
funds, gap financing and other non traditional funding opportunities for the bankers' use.

Re: First 1998 Quarter Report
The following is a synopsis of results and activities for the quarter ending March 31, 1998.
Business Recruitment and Marketing
Trade Show Partnership
The Council joined with six other Washington economic development agencies to participate in
industry specific trade shows. This partnership diffuses the cost and will provide each agency with
qualified leads. The group markets the State of Washington with the agreement that each agency will
follow up on all of the leads. This approach works well, as companies may not be familiar with our
county but are interested in Washington as a whole. This group manned a booth at the International
Boatbuilder's Exhibition and will present the state at three additional trade shows in 1998. The
targeted industries include plastics, value -added wood products and metal manufacturing.
The Council is administering the overall partnership.
Marine Trades Leads
The Council generated over 15 leads through its participation at the International Professional Boat
Builders Exposition. The quality of leads was higher than previous years. Four firms were relocating
and have received follow -up information from the Council.
Metalworking and Manufacturing Leads
The Council generated over 80 leads from attending the WESTEC '98 trade show in Los Angeles. A
follow -up mailing was done to introduce Clallam County to those companies. This is North
America's largest annual metalworking and manufacturing exposition.
Thirty New Jobs Distribution Company Relocates to Clallam County
Pacific Bay, Inc., a company which distributes fishing rod components to firms around the nation,
Canada, Europe and Asia has signed a lease and is building an 18,000 square foot distribution facility
in the Carlsborg Industrial Park west of Sequim. It is estimated that there will be 30 jobs available
through this relocation. The Council responded to an inquiry from this California company early in
1998. The company was looking for relocation site information about our county. The Council
provided rapid response with potential sites and other information, and subsequently arranged a tour
of the sites. The company plans to move early in the summer. The Council continues to assist the
1
company, resolving property, permit and many other issues. Pacific Bay was encouraged to look at
the County by a longtime business associate and resident of Sequim. This is the type of relationship
marketing that the Council has been encouraging in the community.
Environmentalists and Crown Pacific Discuss Air Quality Issues
The Council held a meeting with local environmentalists and Crown Pacific to resolve air quality
issues. The construction of the mill is on schedule for a fall opening. It is anticipated that this
investment will create approximately fifty jobs.
May 14, 1998
Council Responds to Requests for Proposals
The Council prepared three proposals during the month of March. One was a request from Deloit
Touch/Fantus for a retail call center operation. Another was a proposal for a wood products company
(employment 150) and a third was a natural resources company (120 jobs). These operations are well
suited to our assets. An earlier proposal is still pending for a silicon manufacturer.
The Council Assists the Port of Port Angeles to Construct Manufacturing Facility
The Port of Port Angeles will construct a 25,000 square foot manufacturing facility at the Port
Angeles Industrial Park. The Council and the Port successfully submitted an application to the
Community Economic Revitalization Board for a $500,000 loan for construction which will be
matched by $400,000 from the Port. This building will assist the Council in recruitment efforts by
providing a flexible manufacturing space for potential clients. The Council will focus a portion of its
marketing efforts on recruiting tenants for the building.
Community Development
Clallam Bay/Sekiu
The Council is assisting the communities of Clallam Bay and Sekiu with the renovation and
development of the Clallam Bay Sekiu Conference and Community Center. Council staff is assisting
the County and representatives from the community to prepare and attend the Symposium conducted
by Washington State Department of Community Trade and Economic Development in Ellensburg
Washington in June, 1998. At the Symposium, the community group will develop plans for
implementation of the project and funding options. The Council will assist the community in the
execution of the plans.
Sequim
The Council is assisting the Sequim Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce in the development of
a business calling program. The program will use the expertise of business persons, government
representatives and volunteers to call upon and assist local existing businesses. It is the goal of the
Chamber to assist in expansion needs as well as identify and help those businesses which may be in
trouble.
Business Assistance
4.5 New Jobs and 8 Saved Jobs
The Council's Business Development Specialist Kathleen Purdy counseled sixty-nine different
businesses during the first quarter in Clallam and Jefferson Counties, thirty-five of which are new
clients in 1998. Investment for the quarter totaled $1,308,975 resulting in 4.5 new jobs and 8 saved
jobs. One client made a new investment of $123,975 to purchase an existing business saving one job.
This investment was made possible by a partnership of the new owner, the existing owner, the
commercial bank loan and the Washington State Community Trade and Economic Development's
Coastal Loan Fund.

SCORE counselor Chuck Lamb met with thirty-six clients during the quarter. Chuck observes that
many of his current clients are former Rayonier employees whose benefits may be running out.
These clients are using our services to identify their talents and skills to open a business as an
alternative to other employment. Many of these people have good ideas and will probably succeed.
1998 Work Plan
May 14, 1998
The Council held is Annual Board Retreat in February to evaluate the present goals and objectives of
the 1997 -1998 Work Plan and to identify any new issues for 1998. The Board focused on the
economic development objectives laid out in the four Comprehensive Plans within the County. The
following recommendations were developed as a result of the Retreat, and were incorporated into the
1997 -1998 Work Plan by a vote of the Board of Directors.
Staff reviewed input from the 1998 retreat and summarized four findings:
First, there is no direction to modify our current work plan as it relates to the core services of
business recruitment, business assistance and business retention.
Second, there was confirmation that the Council is the organization to implement Port Angeles
Works. The work would be advised by a City-named Committee and funded by the City. It was
clear that this work would necessitate increased capacity at the Council, which would be dedicated to
the project. However, any staffmg would be less than that required by a stand -alone effort by the
City and therefore more cost effective. It is possible to implement Port Angeles Works without
diminishing services to other clients.
Third, it was recommended that the Council support a committee to revise Clallam County 2020.
The Committee would be facilitated and utilize resources committed by the community.
Fourth, it was recommended that the Council address the management of public resources in Clallam
County to increase the benefit to taxing districts and the public. The Executive Board found that the
appropriate role for the Council is to provide research, analysis and public education of not only
natural resource based industries but also other areas of the local economy. The Executive Board was
concerned with taking overtly political roles on resource issues. However, coordination of research,
public education and other roles may be appropriate. This expanded role could only be accomplished
with additional financial resources.

Re: May, 1998 Management Report
Clallam County
Economic Development Council
Recruitment Activity
The Council responded to three company inquiries during the month and closed one active
case. Proposals were prepared for a national service business and two manufacturing
operations. The clients will all short -list sites over the next month.
A call center that had short- listed Clallam County is no longer considering sites in
Washington State. The firm, which operates a multi million dollar retail catalog operation,
found that the impact of the state's Business and Occupation Tax on retail businesses made
operating a call center in Washington financially prohibitive. The upside is that we now have
an informational relationship with a national site location consulting firm and it is aware of
our call center interest. Issues concerning the B 0 impact have been forwarded to state
officials.
Building Marketing Underway
The Port and Council have agreed on a marketing approach for the new multi- tenant
manufacturing facility at Fairchild Industrial Park. Display advertising will appear in the
Puget Sound Business Journal and local publications starting May 29. Contact will be made
within the local real estate industry to gain access to regional networks. Direct mail will be
used for past Council and Port leads. The final component is direct calls on past relocated
businesses to develop referrals. The Council is coordinating marketing. The building is
planned to be completed in late fall of 1998.
Council/ PDA Invited to Submit Funding Proposal
The Peninsula Development Association and Council have been invited to submit a $50,000
proposal to the Economic Development Administration for planning capacity support. The
grant, through the President's Timber Initiative, would provide staff support for projects such
as the community planning projects in Clallam Bay and industrial recruitment. The PDA and

Council had previously received this support during 1994 -1997. This year, in its absence,
the Council budgeted a significant deficit for 1998. Success of our application will eliminate
the deficit and allow us to expand our marketing and recruitment programs.
Clallam County Goes to Governor's Timber Symposium
Assistant Director Marny Hannan and County
Administrator Jim Rumpeltes will be
supporting the community of Clallam Bay as
they attend the Governor's Timber and
Salmon Symposium June 1 -3 in Ellensburg.
The team, which includes Chris Mohr, Gene
Laes, Kathy Shingleton and Patrick Marin, will
be developing their proposal to renovate the
Sekiu Community Center. This intensive
process is the same used by the Port of Port
Angeles, City of Port Angeles and Council to
develop funding for the Valley Creek Estuary
development.

Data Book Goes to Press
The 1998 edition of the Clallam County Date Book will be available June 1 to the Council's
membership and sale to the public. Editor Katy Stansifer has fully updated the demographic
profiles and 50 data sets of this acclaimed publication. The profits from the sale of the
document allow free distribution to Council members.
Governor's Rural Economic Development Summit
I have been asked to participate in the second Rural Economic Summit to be held in Moses
Lake on June 24. The purpose of the summit is to build on the Port Angeles conference and
develop a consensus rural development strategy. The format for this meeting is radically
different. Issue papers on subjects raised in Port Angeles are being developed and will be
the focus of breakout sessions during the meeting. I will be participating in the group
focused on rural business recruitment. The goal of the meeting is to develop a series of
initiatives that can be addressed during the upcoming legislative session.
Meeting of Elected Officials a Success
The Council hosted a meeting of elected officials from throughout Clallam County in May to
discus cooperation in economic development. The discussion was lively and the outcomes
positive. The most frequent comment was that it was useful for elected officials to gather to
be able to discuss issues of mutual concern. The second most frequent comment was that
meetings of this type are far too infrequent. The outcomes were two -fold. First, the Council
was directed to prepare a comparison of economic development objectives established by
the various jurisdictions accompanied by an analysis of land use designations for industrial
development. Second, the group established a meeting in July to continue the discussion.

Michael Parks Keynotes Annual Meeting
Michael Parks, editor of Marples Business Letter will provide the 1998 Economic Forecast at the
Council's Annual Meeting, 5:30 PM, Wednesday, January 28` at Haguewoods in Port Angeles.
Marples has been an authoritative source of regional business trends, company news and stock
analysis for many years. Parks will provide an economic review for 1997 and make his predictions
for 1998 including comments on the disparities of rural and urban economies.
Mark you calendars now for what should be a thought provoking evening.
Council Testifies on Need for Rural Economic Programs
I along with four of my counterparts testified before the House Trade and Economic Development
Committee concerning the need for new rural business incentives. The testimony coincided with a
briefing by the Governor's staff on an upcoming package that will provide new incentives for projects
of regional significance.
EDC's testimony focused on three areas of need: tax incentives to level the competitive playing field
between urban business locations and those in other states; rural business relocation marketing;
additional infrastructure financing; and, workforce training and readiness programs. All these
elements were addressed at the recent Port Angeles Rural Economic Summit.
The Governor's package will be released in mid December. It is the direct response to issues raised at
the Summit. The Council will work diligently with the Governor's Office, the Department of Trade
and other EDC's to see that meaningful rural economic development programs are passed.
The Truth Behind Nike
You may have read a recent article in the Peninsula Daily News concerning Clallam County not
being considered for the potential expansion of Nike to Washington State. The fact is we were never
among the short listed sites, nor could we have been. We simply did not have the site location
requirements sought by the company (5,000+ acre fully served campus; 45 minute drive time to
Seattle- Tacoma Airport).
Without going into detail concerning this particular investment case, I would like to take this
opportunity to clarify how we approach a response to an investment lead. First, and maybe most
importantly, all investment leads are held in the' strictest of confidence, usually at the behest of the
Clallam County Economic,Development Council; 102 East Front Street/ PO Box 1085;
Port Angeles, Washington 98362
Phone 360.457.7793 Fax 360.452.9618 E -mail ccedcaclallam orb Web www clallam.org
client (in the Nike case, we did not know the company's identity until after the short-list was
released).
Second, we consider the site location requirements as literally stated. Location requirements are
usually essential to a company's success. The right company in a wrong location could doom the
investment to failure.
January 8, 1998
Finally, the Council looks carefully at its target market list when responding to a potential lead. This
list was developed because we believe we need companies that will help diversify the local economy
and have certain employment attributes. While we do not deny service to a company, we focus on
those firms that have specific characteristics.
Please view with skepticism any comments you may hear that tell of the Council "not wanting" a
certain business. That is not the case. The opportunity for success is never greater that when we
receive an unsolicited lead. Moreover, we never work harder. Such negative comments usually have
their source from those uninformed of our efforts or unfamiliar with the process of industrial
recruitment.
Valley Creek Wins Statewide Economic Development Award
The Washington Community Economic Revitalization Team (WACERT) recognized the Valley
Creek Estuary/ K -Ply Expansion project as its Project of the Year. Valley Creek was selected from
all projects funded in 1997 through the Presidents Forest Initiative in Washington State. The project
was singled out due to the unique cooperation of the City of Port Angeles, Port of Port Angeles and
Soroptomists International in funding the project, unheard of public support and the project's overall
impact on job creation and downtown revitalization.
The project demonstrates the power of teamwork between the Port, City, service clubs and economic
development interests. The Council played a leadership role in developing the project's concept and
developing public awareness of the project. However, if one party was absent in process, the project
would have remained a dream. The community should take a bow.
Fleener Joins Oregon Economic Development Efforts
Forks Economic Development Steering Committee Director and Council Board Member Darrin
Fleener has accepted a position with the state of Oregon as a regional economic development
coordinator. He will be leaving his position on December 19` for his new post in Salem, Oregon.
Darrin started his economic development career at the Council as an intern three years ago and served
at FEDSEC for two years. In his capacity, he furthered the development of the Forks Industrial Park
including the location of the Forestry Training Center. He served as an able advocate of economic
development in timber impacted areas of Washington. We wish him well in his new position.
New Projects Submitted to WACERT
The Council completed preparation of new business and infrastructure projects for consideration of
funding through the President's timber initiative. Assistant Director Marny Hannan worked through a
prioritization process with local municipalities, Peninsula College and others to prepare the list of 14
projects. Unique to this year's effort was the inclusion of three projects from Clallam Bay. Clallam
County worked with the community to develop the projects that include repair of the Community
Center, improvements to Clallam Bay Spit Park and construction of the Neah Bay -Ozette Loop Road.
Preparation and submission of the list is the first step for funding, such as was realized for the
Forestry Training Center, Valley Creek Estuary and Admiral Marine projects.

Recruitment News
The Council prepared four detailed proposals for manufacturers investigating potential expansions or
locations. The Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce developed two of these leads.
Crown Pacific's new Port Angeles mill is well underway. The structural steel for the main building is
up and the facility will be dried in by the end of the year. Completion of the facility is slated for mid
1998.
The Council will be attending the 1998 IBEX Marine Trades Show in Fort Lauderdale in February.
This will be our second year at the show. Cooping with Skagit County and the Port of Olympia has
reduced costs for participation.
Sequim Community Development
Marny Hannan has continued to work with the Sequim Economic Development Committee in the
production of a ten -page profile of Sequim and the Sequim- Dungeness Valley. The piece describes
economic and quality of life attributes. It will be used for business recruitment and relocation
programs by the City of Sequim and Chamber of Commerce.
The Committee will be instituting a business retention program aimed at involving Chamber
representatives and members of the business community. The goal of the program is to encourage
local businesses and industries to remain and to continue to grow to provide jobs and wealth for the
community. Marny will be providing support for this project as well as continuing to be involved
with the Committee's other activities.
Business Assistance
Kathleen Purdy, Small Business Development Specialist, counseled nineteen clients during the month
of November. Of those, seven were new and twelve were previous clients.
Kathleen has been awarded her certification as an Economic Development Finance Professional from
the National Development Council. Certification signifies successful completion of four weeks of
intensive training in community development, business and real estate finance. Certification includes
comprehensive examinations on each subject area including application of finance principles to real
world business development cases.

Re: October Recruitment Report
The Council has assisted a small manufacturer locate to Sequim. A real estate
agent called searching for an existing facility for a client. Marny Hannan identified a
facility from our database and the deal was done. The company is a small
manufacturer of oceanographic research tools and supplier of underwater video
services. A subsequent meeting with the client indicates he has an extremely
successful entrepreneurial track record. They currently employ four with plans to
expand to 10. We are providing continuing support with tax abatement.
Crown Pacific has broken ground for their $15 million dimensional mill outside Port
Angeles. Construction should be completed and the mill operational 3rd quarter 98.
Two leads developed out of our attendance at the Anaheim WoodWorking
Exposition Both are furniture manufacturers Both are considering Washington
relocation. One firm is motivated to move closer to its suppliers and export location.
The attached lead list has been purged of leads that were dosed last month.
Additional leads have been cloccd this month where the client has expressed no
interest in further contact or where follow -up attempts have failed.

The following is a synopsis of results and activities for the quarter ending September 30, 1997.
Business Recruitment
Anaheim Woodworking Exposition. The Council in partnership with three other economic
development organizations and the state of Washington participated in the biennial Anaheim
WoodWorking Exposition. The show was targeted at cabinetry and other value added wood products
companies. Over 183 qualified leads were generated including 10 that were actively looking at an
expansion or relocation to the state of Washington. The Council has followed up on all leads and
confirmed continuing interest by two firms.
Crown Pacific Mill. The Council continues to provide permit coordination services to Crown Pacific
Partners with the development of their $15 million small log mill outside of Port Angeles.
Specifically, the Council coordinated pre permit meetings with County building officials and the Dry
Creek Water District. Construction will start in October 1997 with the mill operational in the third
quarter of 1998. The mill will employ 50.
Business Recruitment Breakfasts. The Council held three breakfasts across the County to recruit
private support of the Council's business recruitment marketing program. Over 100 people attended
meetings in Sequim, Port Angeles and Forks. The meeting met their objectives of informing business
leaders of the Council's programs and businesses support with developing recruitment.
WEB Site Rebuild. While less than a year old, the Council completed a rebuild of its WEB site. The
site is now oriented toward business recruitment. New features include the ability to download site
maps and property descriptions as well as thirty data sets included in the Council's data book. The
address of the site is www.clallam.org.

from Clallam County were Port Angeles City Manager Jeff Pomeranz and Port of Port Angeles
Executive Director Chris Anderson. Together we succeeded in focusing the summit on rural
development and ensuring that local businesses were represented on the discussion panels.
Forestry Training Center
The Council engaged the services of Baker, Overby and Moore to complete a full audit of Council
expenditures for the project over the last three years. This includes private, federal and state funds
from the first feasibility study to construction of the FTC Training Center in Forks. The audit will be
finalized during the Fourth quarter. The Council is completing transfer of financial and accounting
responsibilities to the FTC. This includes contracting for the preparation of a quit claim deed for the
building and capital equipment. The quit claim will be executed when the audit is completed.

MARKETING /RECRUITMENT PLAN
1997 1998
This marketing plan concentrates on activities for 1997 -1998 It was developed on the results of
the past year's marketing activities The Council's goal remains generating an average one
recruitment lead per week and a success rate of four percent creating 50 jobs at a cost of less than
$1,000 per job created The ten -year goal established in 1996 is to recruit an average of 50 jobs
per year for the period (500 jobs)
Primary recruitment efforts focus on attracting manufacturing companies with 25 -200 employees
with high valued products sold nationally and /or internationally Our targets place high values
on access to skilled and available labor at a competitive cost, low costs for land and facilities,
rapid development periods and are attracted by the County's unique quality of life Marketing
activities will be undertaken throughout the year
The Council will manage recruitment efforts from development to execution to client contact
Other agencies in the County will be called upon as needed to help answer questions and provide
information to potential companies
Recruitment will be monitored throughout the year to insure that the dollar investment made is
warranted by the successes achieved Each activity will be reviewed and evaluated to determine
whether similar future activities should be undertaken or if different paths should be explored to
utilize the budgeted dollars more effectively

Marketing Activities
The marketing and recruitment effort to be undertaken by the Council will consist of several
elements
Draft For Discussion Purposes Only
Last Revised 9/17/97 1 00 PM
The Council will participate in trade shows to generate awareness of Clallam County as a
business location and to generate leads. Trade show participation will be in cooperation with the
State of Washington, Port of Port Angeles, FEDSC and other EDCs. Cooperation will reduce
overall participation costs as well as strengthening the Council's presentation. In addition, the
Cow cil will coordinate trade shows with direct calls on pre quaiified companies with those
shows conducted with other EDCs. Pre qualification will be accomplished through a joint
telemarketing project funded by the EDCs.
The Council will continue to expand its marketing materials to include specific private industrial
parcels and buildings. The Council Web site will be revised to increase its value as a marketing
tool. Description of available land and industrial buildings will be published.
On -going recruitment activities that will continue throughout the year include follow -up on
statewide leads and direct inquiries. This activity is essential to the success of the recruitment
efforts undertaken because they are pre qualified as looking to expand or relocate and
considering the State of Washington.
In the fall of 1997 the Council will hold three breakfast presentations (Forks, Port Angeles, and
Sequim) for business leaders and retired executives to recruit them as members of a lead
generation team for the county. Staff believes that these individuals can serve as a cost effective
lead generation tool. There is an added marketing/ public relations benefit for the Council's
program.
In spring 1998, the Council will direct an effort to reach decision- makers within Northwest value
added forest products companies. The goal is to gain an audience to discuss expansion
opportunities in Clallam County. Essential to the success of recruitment in Clallam County is the
involvement of agencies other than the Council. The Council will be extending this message to
various public and private sector entities asking them to participate actively in promoting
awareness of the County.
Marketing Budget
The total cost of the marketing and recruitment plan for 1997 1998 will be approximately
$19,000. In order for this amount to be used effectively (i.e. meet the objectives set in the
plan), a total of 50 new jobs will need to be brought into the County as a result of marketing and
recruitment efforts.

DATE: April 21, 1997
FROM: Bart Phillips, Executive Director
RE: First Quarter 1997
CLALLAM COUNTY
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
The following is a summary of Council activities for the period January 1, 1997 through
March 31, 1997.
The results discussed in the report are financially supported by the City of Port
Angeles, City of Sequim, City of Forks, Clallam County, the Port of Port Angeles,
Clallam County Public Utility District #1, Washington State Department of Community,
Trade and Economic Development, Economic Development Administration and the
Membership of the Council.
Industrial Recruitment and Marketing
Recruitment
Highlights during the first quarter include:
three site visits by manufacturing firms to review local site options
submission of nine investment proposals to inquiries from state and Council
generated investment leads
generation of 60+ investment leads from print advertising campaign
business recruitment goes on -line with the Council's Internet site www.clallam.org
Marketing
Over sixty inquiries and one site visit resulted from an ad which was placed in
the Alaska Airlines magazine during the quarter. Each inquiry received an
investment proposal and profile, and a follow -up mailing is slated for these
potential clients in mid April. This ad had as its theme, "Who says work
1
and play don't mix and may be run again in the fall. A similar ad was placed in
the North Olympic Visitor and Convention Bureau's Visitor Guide. Also during
the quarter, staff implemented a marketing plan targeting recreational equipment
manufacturers. The theme "build it in the morning, test it in the afternoon" has
resulted in several inquiries and a second mailing is scheduled for mid -April for
this project as well.
The Council has established a virtual web site (www.clallam.org) to support
industrial recruitment. Prospective industrial recruitment clients can review
Council services and download information regarding industrial sites, maps
showing the Industrial Parks at Forks and Port Angeles, costs and incentives.
Industrial recruitment consultants utilize the Web as a tool in their research of
possible sites for their relocating clients.
In early February, the Council attended the International Boat Builders
Exposition (IBEX). This boat builders trade show enabled the Council to market
the "Gateway Marine Center, the West Coast's Super Yacht Repair Center".
Potential customers expressed interest in service and other opportunities
involving marine trades. Twelve leads were developed and are being worked by
the Council.
The Council and Forks Economic Development Steering Committee attended the
Wood Products Showcase in late January. The Council's 1996 -1997 Work Plan
calls for targeted marketing in the value -added wood products sector, and this
was an opportunity to network and market the County to that industry. The show
has been reoriented toward marketing building supplies. While the overall show
has become more successful and attendance is up, the Council and City of
Forks should reevaluate continued participation. Show attendees are
predominantly buyers. Our targets are manufacturers. The majority of exhibitors
are distributors. Continued participation would be warranted if we represented
area suppliers as the City of Forks accomplished in 1996.
Rayonier Mill Closure Response
The Council was a key participant of the Mill Alternatives Committee work to
identify options for job retention and alternative use of the Rayonier Mill. EDC
members Dick Kott, Randy Johnson, Orville Campbell spent considerable time
working with consultant CH2MHiII to find solutions. Also on the MAC are local
attorney Gary Colley, Dave Hagiwara (Port of Port Angeles), Jim Keogh (state
of Washington), and Jim Tussler (Washington State Labor Council).
The Council was successful in securing grant financing from the Economic
Development Administration ($65,000) and Washington Department of
Community, Trade and Economic Development ($10,000) to support consultant
work. These funds were matched by commitments from the City of Port Angeles,
Port, County and Clallam County Economic Development Council
The results of the study indicated the following: a) the mill in its current
configuration is not economically viable, b) there is a potential for profitable
operation of the mill by modifying the operations; c) there are parties interested
in investment of the modified operation; d) there are specific industrial assets
2
which should be retained by the community in support of alternative industrial
uses of the site. Despite these findings, it was made clear to the community that
Rayonier was not interested in a sale of their assets to a potential competitor.
The Full Economic Response Team decided not to pursue further alternative
operations of the mill given the Company's position. The mill was closed on
February 28, 1997, and dismantling has begun. The community continues to
investigate options for use of the site and strategic assets of the company.
Forestry Training Center
In January, the firm of J J Construction of Sequim broke ground on the
Forestry Training Center in Forks and as of today, the building is close to
completion. The Center continues to turn out high caliber graduates in hand
falling and cut -to- length operations. The next class to graduate will be in April.
Director Al Angrignon is enlarging the scope of marketing efforts to attract a
diverse group of students. The first FTC Annual Meeting was held January 31,
1997
Sequim Development Projects
The Council is working cooperatively with the City of Sequim and the Sequim
Development Committee in the implementation of the economic development
component of the Sequim Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the reuse of the
vacant commercial facilities in Sequim and development of a business plan for a
small business incubator, possibly located in one of these vacant sites.
Small Business Assistance
Small Business Development Center
Washington State University Business Development Specialist Kathleen Purdy
served 82 Clallam and Jefferson County clients during the first quarter. Total
new investment resulting from counseling activities was over $1,000,000 in the

COUNCIL AND PORT DISCUSS RECRUITMENT
Executive Board Members Randy Johnson, Mike McAleer, and Glen Wiggins met with Port of Port Angeles
Commissioners and staff to discuss the Port's expectations for Council services in 1997 The clear
message is that the Port views industrial recruitment as the #1 priority for their $30,000 annual investment
in the Council In the Port's opinion, Council efforts should be targeted to recruiting primary manufacturing
jobs Development of other sectors of the economy (services and retail trade) should rely on the economic
multiplier effect of increased primary economic activity. To facilitate recruitment, the Commissioners
discussed potential investment in pre developed industrial buildings.

COUNCIL ON LINE AT WWW.CLALLAM.ORG
Clallam County business recruitment has gone digital with the Council's new virtual domain Prospective
clients can puruse or download a variety of information ranging from economic profiles and our regional
report to maps of the Forks and Port of Port Angeles Industrial Parks Clients can request a detailed
proposal or further information on sites, costs and relocation incentives
The World Wide Web is at its best as an information resource Industrial recruitment consultants report its
increasing use as companies downsize their real estate and research departments. Detailed site research
can be conducted with the click of the mouse
Our site was put up with that in mind and is a work in progress as we refine what our clients want and how
they want it The payoff is unclear However, we received an information request from a southern California
manufacturer one week after the site was up
ALASKA AIRLINES CAMPAIGN SHOWING RESULTS
Over 60 inquiries and one site visit from an interested business have resulted from our advertisements in
Alaska Airlines Magazine Touting that we "Work Hard and Play Hard" the $6,000 project is paying off_
Each inquiry receives an investment proposal and our standard investment profiles Second mailing for
initial contacts are slated for mid -April Based upon feedback from those contacts the Council will
determine whether to continue the campaign We are pleased with the response to date_
REVITALIZED STATE BUSINESS RECRUITMENT PROVIDING SUPPORT
A year ago, the State of Washington's Business recruitment was moribund Buffeted by the shotgun
merger of the Department's of Trade and Community Development and legislative budget cuts, recruitment
at the state level was almost non existent The Council received a monthly list of leads from magazines
Quality of the leads were low.
Things have changed remarkably During the last several months the Council has received and responded
to a number of well qualified prospects and the state is cooperatively advertising and coordinating trade
shows and other activities The state by all gauges is once again in the recruitment game.
The change? A commitment from the Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development and
assignment of key staff people who are excited about recruitment. Peter McMillin, Ray Issacson and Brian
Olson The recent major state investments of Wafertech (Camas) ,BHP (Longview) and Intel (Dupont) have
put Washington State in the forebrain of corporate relocation specialists who seem to be the root of most
state generated leads
The Council's recruitment program will be only as strong as its weakest partner The State seems to be
gaining strength The only dark cloud is that the Washington State legislature is once again taking the
budget ax to the Department Preliminary budgets again cut recruitment Alas, results do not always
generate support in a political environment.

FTC BUILDING NEARS COMPLETION
The Forestry Training Center Corporate Headquarters at the Forks industrial Park came out of the ground
in February and will be complete in April The rapid construction is due to the quality work of our contractor,
J and J Construction of Sequin', and two weeks of dry weather in February Director Al Angrignon and his
staff continue to turn out quality graduates Based upon hiring results, there is a high demand for trained
cut -to- length operators and hand falters The next class graduation in mid April will mark the official
opening of the new facility And yes, the Council builds buildings too, ahead of schedule
ECONOMIC RESPONSE TEAM COMPLETES RAYONIER ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS
The Council, Mill Alternatives Committee and Economic Response Team completed their analysis of
alternative operations of the Rayonier pulp mill in Port Angeles. Despite positive findings, Rayonier remains
steadfast in its resolve to demolish the facility and convert the site to alternative uses
The Committee was charged to evaluate economically viable alternatives and identify key industrial assets
for retention for future industrial use of the site Supported by consultant CH2MHiIl, the committee found
1) the mill in its current configuration is not economically viable,
2) by reconfiguring and modifying operations, there is potential for profitable operation of the mill,
3) there are interested parties that may have invested in a modified operation, and,
4) there are specific industrial assets that should be retained by the public to support alternative industrial
uses of the site
Despite these finding, the owner, Rayonier, is not interested in further evaluation of the alternatives The
Company is not interested in sale of their assets to a potential competitor The company was
simultaneously skeptical of the study's findings The full Economic Response Team decided not to pursue
further alternative operations of the mill given the Company's position
The Mill Alternatives Committee was Chaired by Dick Kott (Economic Development Council) and included
members Orville Cambell (Port Angeles City Council), Randy Johnson (Port Angeles Chamber of
Commerce), Gary Colley (Economic Response Team), Dave Hagiwara (Port of Port Angeles), Jim Keogh
(Washington Department of Community Trade and Economic Development) and Jim Tussler (Washington
State Labor Council) The Council thanks each for their wise counsel and innumerable hours on the
project
The project was financially supported by the Economic Development Administration, State of Washington,
Port of Port Angeles, City of Port Angeles, Clailam County and the Council Copies of the final report can
be obtained from the Council
