NOVEMBER 27, <strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> WORKSHOP MEETING<br />

<strong>Minutes</strong><br />

The meeting <strong>wa</strong>s convened at 3:00 p.m. at the Beach Club. Council members present were Greg<br />

McCarry, Gene Carmody, Vaughn Bradshaw, Dean Mosier, Larry Nobles, Adele Govert, Tom McCay, Jack<br />

McKay, Dan Meade, Frank Siler, and Bill Browne. Absent: Lyn Gauche. There were also five guests in<br />

attendance.<br />

McCarry opened the meeting suggesting that the board members review two documents (11/1/07 <strong>PLVC</strong><br />

Utilities Committee report and <strong>PLVC</strong> Policy and Procedure) that had been passed out.<br />

Discussion items included the following:<br />

1. 11/1/07 <strong>PLVC</strong> Utilities Committee Report: This report <strong>wa</strong>s not reviewed by the Board but used,<br />

in part, in many of recent community communications surrounding PL’s <strong>wa</strong>ter status. There <strong>wa</strong>s<br />

some discussion of how the report <strong>wa</strong>s developed. One of the committee members indicated<br />

that, <strong>for</strong> the most part, it <strong>wa</strong>s a brief summary of the draft report under consideration by the<br />

Department of Health (DOH) and Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) be<strong>for</strong>e<br />

providing recommendations. Another guest asked about the accuracy of this summary in truly<br />

representing the Draft report.<br />

2. <strong>PLVC</strong> Policy and Procedure Section X. Committees (contained on the <strong>PLVC</strong> Web site) <strong>wa</strong>s<br />

reviewed and the board agreed that it should not be changed. Everyone <strong>wa</strong>s reminded any<br />

proposed position should have a final board vote prior to representing that position to any<br />

individual or <strong>org</strong>anization. As far as board positions on issues any board or committee should<br />

obtain authorization from the president be<strong>for</strong>e making statements on behalf of the board. Greg<br />

McCarry will be reminding the committee chairs and members of this expected protocol.<br />

3. Finance: Gene Carmody reported that he would be consolidating the Funfest account, currently<br />

held at the Kitsap Branch bank into the set of accounts held at American Marine Bank. He also<br />

reported that the Trails account would be <strong>for</strong>mally established and funded with the monies held<br />

by the <strong>PLVC</strong>. Donations coming to the <strong>PLVC</strong> with a Trails designation will be <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rded to this<br />

new account. Oversight would continue, both within the Trails Committee and the <strong>PLVC</strong>. The<br />

balance of the account appears to be unusually high, but is needed to fund a major paving<br />

project this year.<br />

4. Meeting Dates and Times: The board agreed that the General and Workshop meeting dates and<br />

times should continue. Workshop meetings will be held as needed. Lynn Gauche will be<br />

scheduling (splitting) these meetings at the Beach and Bay Clubs. The <strong>PLVC</strong> General Meeting<br />

scheduled <strong>for</strong> 12/6/07 <strong>wa</strong>s cancelled because of possible conflict with Closed Record Appeal on<br />

the PL Resort Build-Out and Marina Expansion. The December Workshop had already been<br />

cancelled.<br />

5. <strong>PLVC</strong> Utility Committee: Phil Otness has agreed to chair the committee. One of his first charges<br />

will be to moderate future meeting discussion with UTC, DOH, OWSI, CDC and PLA officials<br />

regarding PL’s <strong>wa</strong>ter supply and their respective roles in granting, regulation and management<br />

of PLA’s <strong>wa</strong>ter resources. The Board and attendees spent considerable time describing and<br />

discussing the roles of these <strong>org</strong>anizations in the <strong>wa</strong>ter rights granting process, adequacy issues,<br />

economic issues and regulatory issues. It <strong>wa</strong>s noted that UTC only deals with the economic<br />

question with regard to <strong>wa</strong>ter company operations. Issues such as profit, loss, and rate structure<br />

come under their review. It <strong>wa</strong>s noted that UTC does not provide similar oversight over sewer<br />

rates or operations. DOH is the agency that oversees <strong>wa</strong>ter system planning including the<br />

quantity, quality, and distribution of available <strong>wa</strong>ter. OWSI is responsible to produce a new<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 6 of 93


<strong>wa</strong>ter plan every 6 years that looks <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rd over that period to address supply, distribution and<br />

required system upgrades. The plan is then submitted to DOH <strong>for</strong> review and approval.<br />

Concerned homeowners are encouraged to participate in these discussions.<br />

6. Agenda Items <strong>PLVC</strong> Issue Management and 5 <strong>PLVC</strong> Goals <strong>for</strong> 2008: will be moved to the January<br />

Workshop meeting.<br />

The meeting adjourned at 4:30pm.<br />

No motions were made and no votes taken.<br />

Respectfully,<br />

Bill Browne<br />

<strong>PLVC</strong> Secretary (11/27/07)<br />

Kevin Ryan stated that Tom has re-invigorated this committee. Goals were adopted at yesterday’s<br />

well #14’s <strong>wa</strong>ter will be diluted so that the combined output meets <strong>wa</strong>ter standards (arsenic). (NOTE:<br />

time, but tests show that new relays will substitute <strong>for</strong> the PL substation; hence, these temporary<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 10 of 93


testing outages may not be an issue in Port Ludlow. A mailing will be sent out in the 98365 area<br />

explaining these “outages” that may come during their testing period.<br />

Correspondence:<br />

None<br />

Gene C reported receiving an email from David Goudie asking <strong>for</strong> the last two years of financial<br />

statements. No reason given. Gene is to advise him that those records are available <strong>for</strong> inspection at the<br />

Bay Club, usually as attachments to the monthly general meeting minutes.<br />

Old Business<br />

Proposed Health Facility in Port Ludlow: there is nothing further to report at this time. The matter is in<br />

the hands of the Jefferson County Health Care. PLA provided JCHC with a proposed lease <strong>for</strong> property in<br />

the Village Center but there has been no response to that.<br />

Jefferson County and Harrison Hospital meeting – wide ranging discussion of the potential <strong>for</strong> various<br />

specialties-nothing concrete at this time.<br />

Bus Stop Shelters – John Austin is on Transit comm. – new shelters to be built on Paradise Bay Road<br />

rather than at the store. Would <strong>PLVC</strong> be involved in getting something nicer than the standard?<br />

Research is being done <strong>for</strong> options and cost of the two such shelters.<br />

Holiday lighting <strong>for</strong> Paradise Bay Road - <strong>PLVC</strong> could light up the centre of the divider; Jimmy White from<br />

North Bay, a licensed contractor would volunteer his labor, but may need some additional labor; 4<br />

imitation deer in divider, white lights only on timers into sockets on the poles. Tom noted that most of<br />

the costs are not recurring as supplies such as lights and timers will be stored and reused annually.<br />

County will supply a list of criteria such as employment of licensed flaggers etc. Lights are to start after<br />

Thanksgiving and continue up to New Year’s Eve.<br />

MSP to spend up to a maximum of $2000 <strong>for</strong> holiday lighting <strong>for</strong> Paradise Bay Road. (All ayes).<br />

<strong>2007</strong>-2208 Meeting schedule will be revisited at the workshop meeting with a possibility of returning to<br />

Thursday mornings at 9:00 rather than at 3 pm. meeting.<br />

Workshop meeting changed to Tuesday November 27 at 3:00 with location to be determined.<br />

Comments from the Floor<br />

Re Survey – These appear to be the top three areas of greatest interest: grocery store, medical clinic,<br />

one Port Ludlow. Results will be available within the next several weeks and will be placed on the<br />

website.<br />

Sue Ryan asked about 4 th July fireworks – off the agenda – Fire Chief feels that community displays cut<br />

down on the worrisome fireworks and fires. This will be a matter <strong>for</strong> future discussion.<br />

General Meeting – Thursday, December, <strong>2007</strong>. 3:00 PM, Beach Club.<br />

Tom McCay, on behalf of his fellow council members and the community at large, thanked L Nobles <strong>for</strong><br />

starting on a program that will be easy <strong>for</strong> others to follow and <strong>for</strong> his long hard work during his term of<br />

office.<br />

Meeting adjourned at 4:15 p.m.<br />

When asked about the pilings, the membership <strong>wa</strong>s told it is a mitigation point <strong>for</strong> Ludlow Cove 1<br />

A permit request will be submitted to Jefferson County within the next couple of weeks, with a hearing<br />

to be held probably in January-February timeframe. If there are no appeals, PLA will get this project<br />

under<strong>wa</strong>y right a<strong>wa</strong>y, potentially delayed 2 years later if litigation occurs.<br />

Diana Smeland reported the scheduling of a tentative appellate hearing in mid-December as a result of<br />

the Town home Owners Association meeting and the transfer of the governing association from PLA to<br />

owners. During the transfer some CCs will be changing because of special circumstances.<br />

In the future the developer’s agreement on the hearings/appeals process may be altered to better<br />

con<strong>for</strong>m to Jefferson County’s process which is faster.<br />

Community Reports<br />

Jefferson County Administrator – John Fischbach reported:<br />

October 5 th . As soon as the date is selected, Mr. Fischbach will schedule the BOCC Chambers or the<br />

Superior Court, with Port Ludlow an alternate venue.<br />

- MERU claim <strong>for</strong> Damages by Bert Loomis claiming his property has been devalued by $250,000 because<br />

of MERU and Jefferson County’s over-building according to his calculations is being reviewed by the<br />

Jefferson County’s Claims Committee. This matter may go ultimately to Superior Court.<br />

- 2 permits <strong>for</strong> Tree Removals in critical areas were submitted and issued.<br />

- PLA did a pre-application conference with IOCD <strong>for</strong> 45 lot subdivision of Single family homes on 14.66<br />

acres on June 5, <strong>2007</strong>. They need a long plat, SEPA<br />

Review and a shoreline substantial development proposed within 200ft. of Ord. High Water Mark. The<br />

Hearing Examiner will make the decision.<br />

Other topics currently under study at Jefferson County are:<br />

-Budget- getting more and more difficult to balance; presentation of this county’s budget would be<br />

available to PL residents.<br />

-Critical Areas ordinance.<br />

-Clean <strong>wa</strong>ter district special meeting Oct 17 in Superior Court Room.<br />

When asked, Mr. Fischbach agreed to give a presentation of the County budget to interested parties on<br />

November 1.<br />

County Commissioner – John Austin described no shooting zones in effect and the rationale <strong>for</strong> creating<br />

such zones.<br />

He mentioned the potential MPR project near Brinnon.<br />

He described the Puget Sound <strong>Pl</strong>an 2020 in regard toClallam and Jefferson County areas along county<br />

lines that may be of interest. He spoke of the possible $18 parcel fee <strong>for</strong> Clean Water issue. Austen feels<br />

it is regressive; concerned <strong>for</strong> the 450+ residents who have multiple parcels who can ill af<strong>for</strong>d this fee.<br />

He hopes Port Townsend be included in this possible parcel fee since Jefferson County supports PT in off<br />

setting areas.<br />

Public Works presented the 2008-2013 Six-year Improvement Program.<br />

Within the list of capital projects is the Paradise Bay Road Phase 2, which will pave shoulders and<br />

overlay road with asphalt concrete from Mile Post 0.37 to Mile Post 0.84, or roughly from where the<br />

present road project ended to just north of Edgewood Drive.<br />

Update on Proposed Clean Water District and $18 Fee per Property<br />

The discussion on the proposed $18 per parcel fee <strong>for</strong> a Clean Water District in Eastern Jefferson County<br />

<strong>wa</strong>s discussed and deferred at the Monday, September 24 th meeting of the Board of County<br />

Commissioners. The continuation <strong>wa</strong>s held at Fort Warden at 6:30 PM Wednesday, September 25 th with<br />

over 150 property owners present.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 19 of 93


More than 30 owners spoke, with the overwhelming majority not in favor. There <strong>wa</strong>s a consensus as to<br />

the desire to have clean <strong>wa</strong>ter – the negatives, <strong>for</strong> the most part were in regard to the financing method<br />

proposed and the fairness of the fee. The commissioner indicated a need <strong>for</strong> further study, and<br />

subsequent public meeting will be held at a date and time to be determined by County staff.<br />

SEPTEMBER 18, <strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> WORKSHOP MEETING<br />

<strong>Minutes</strong><br />

The meeting <strong>wa</strong>s convened at 3:00pm. At the Beach Club. Council members present were Larry Nobles,<br />

Don Clark, Adele Govert, Tom McCay, Jack McKay, Dan Meade, Frank Siler and Tony Durham. Absent<br />

members were Vaughn Bradshaw, Bill Browne, Gene Carmody and Allen Panasuk. There were also three<br />

guests in attendance.<br />

Discussion items included the following :-<br />

1. Clean Water District A meeting took place in Port Townsend on 17 September on a proposed plan to<br />

establish a “Clean Water District” in Jefferson County, and apply a tax of $18 per parcel to fund that<br />

plan. More than 100 attendees exceeded the meeting room capacity rendering the conduct of an<br />

orderly meeting impossible. The meeting <strong>wa</strong>s rescheduled to Wednesday 26 September at 6:30pm. and<br />

relocated to Fort Worden.<br />

2. Funfest Assessment that Funfest <strong>wa</strong>s very successful with 80+ vendors and attendance of 1085<br />

Saturday and more than 500 on Sunday when the weather <strong>wa</strong>s less than ideal.<br />

3. Insurance Existing <strong>PLVC</strong> liability insurance did not cover Funfest and the Friday Market activities.<br />

Special insurance <strong>for</strong> Funfest <strong>wa</strong>s finally obtained but <strong>wa</strong>s very expensive, - primarily we understand<br />

because of the sale of alcohol. The Council will give serious consideration to discontinuing the sale of<br />

alcohol at future Funfest events.<br />

4. Utilities The <strong>PLVC</strong> Utilities Committee met this morning. The Clean Water District proposal and MERU<br />

count issues were discussed. The Council will consider inviting Dept. of Ecology representatives to<br />

provide in<strong>for</strong>mation and an independent assessment of <strong>wa</strong>ter/sewer capacities and current flow rates.<br />

PSE has begun construction of the new sub-station in Chimacum with an estimated 5 month completion<br />

cycle. As part of that activity the Beaver Valley sub-station will be deactivated <strong>for</strong> a nominal 4 days in<br />

late September or October. PSE plans to maintain electrical supply to the Port Ludlow area by service<br />

from several other area substations but notes that the system will be “fragile” during that 4 day period.<br />

5. Health Facility Jefferson Health Care (JHC) and Harrison Hospital planners have a meeting scheduled<br />

at the Beach Club Monday 24 September at 2:00pm. PLA is drawing up a lease agreement <strong>for</strong> use of the<br />

<strong>for</strong>mer Kitsap Bank pad area in the Village Center. The <strong>PLVC</strong> has served as facilitator by bringing PLA, JHC<br />

and Harrison Hospital together on this possible addition to village amenities.<br />

6. Annual Meeting The <strong>PLVC</strong> AGM will take place as scheduled on 4 October at the Beach Club. Because<br />

several current and candidate Council Members are will not be available, election of new Council<br />

officers will likely be moved to 1 November at 2:00pm. ( to be confirmed).<br />

7. Bus Shelters Option to up-grade new bus shelters (at community expense) at Village Center a<strong>wa</strong>iting<br />

recommendation from resident (<strong>for</strong>mer architect) Marti Stuart.<br />

8. Holiday Lights Outlets on new street lights at Village Center could be used.<br />

9. Signs Reported that there are county, real estate and perhaps other sign ordinances (size, lighting,<br />

positioning, etc.) that are being violated at several locations. Action to be determined, but might begin<br />

by drawing violator attention to those ordinances.<br />

10. Committees Briefly discussed need <strong>for</strong> 3 new <strong>PLVC</strong> Committees to focus on :-<br />

a. Environment<br />

b. Business development (particularly Village Center)<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 21 of 93

22 persons were in attendance<br />

MSP to approve the minutes of the August 2, <strong>2007</strong> general meeting. (All ayes). These minutes and the<br />

workshop meeting minutes will be posted on the website by Monday.<br />

Community Reports<br />

Jefferson County Administrator – John Fischbach introduced County Commisioner, Phil Johnson.<br />

Handouts were distributed comprising of:<br />

1. a response from David Wayne Johnson in response to an email and letter from Marco De Sa E Silva<br />

requesting that time, date and location be set <strong>for</strong> a preliminary hearing re Appeals relating to Ludlow<br />

Bay village, etc.<br />

2. a letter from PLA lawyer Silva re the MERU tort claim of Bert Loomis against<br />

Jefferson County. A response has not yet been prepared.<br />

3. a letter sent from Jim Pearson to Bruce Schmitz re Teal Lake Road improvements re an error in mile<br />

Posts cited, an error that had not been identified until recently.<br />

In response to questions raised from a board member and audience members concerning possibly<br />

expediting the appeals process and speeding up development of the area, or the many documents and<br />

copies asked <strong>for</strong> by those in opposition, Mr. Fischbach stated that the appeals process is statutorily set<br />

out, and the County is obliged to follow the process, and also stated that public officials are subject to<br />

requests from the citizenry.<br />

When asked to what extent is the county being over-burdened by these Freedom of In<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

requests, it would appear that the work is that of 3.5 FTE (full time equivalent) doing the necessary<br />

research and making all the copies of documents. Reply time by law is within 5 business days, usually<br />

indicated by a letter. All requests verbal, email or letter are requests to which by law a response must be<br />

made. L. Nobles thanked Mr. Fischbach <strong>for</strong> all his help and time.<br />

Port Ludlow Associates – Diana Smeland referred to a court case resolution of a claim where it had been<br />

claimed that the boundary line <strong>wa</strong>s intentionally concealed. The judge concluded that there <strong>wa</strong>s no<br />

intentional deception. It <strong>wa</strong>s deemed a “mutual mistake”.<br />

Referring to emails she receives from a few who ask PLA to follow the law, she stated that every time<br />

PLA goes to Superior Court, they have been found to have “followed the law”. Her question to those<br />

present <strong>wa</strong>s “Whose law are we being asked to follow, and at what cost to you, the residents?”<br />

Olympic Terrace II - second and third models should be open later this year in the fourth quarter, and at<br />

that time, there will be a community reception.<br />

Ludlow Bay village mediation <strong>wa</strong>s not successful, and now that there is an appellant Hearing Examiner<br />

appointed, she hopes a hearing might be scheduled <strong>for</strong> October.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 23 of 93


Fire District #3 – Administrative Chief Obtinario stated the 1 st Annual Health and Safety Fair <strong>wa</strong>s a<br />

seeking 2 more sponsors <strong>for</strong> the 2008 fair. FF/EMT Lonnie Reynolds <strong>wa</strong>s promoted to Lieutenant on<br />

September 1. He <strong>wa</strong>s hired in 1999 fulltime, and has total of 14 years with the Fire District.<br />

Interviews of applicants <strong>for</strong> a vacant career fire fighter/EMT position will occur Sept 9, with employment<br />

to begin October 1.<br />

FunFest participation by PLF & R will include a car extrication demonstration on Saturday afternoon, and<br />

hands-on fire extinguisher training <strong>for</strong> the public on Sunday.<br />

Committee Reports<br />

Communications Committee - no report<br />

Community Development – Tom McCay<br />

MSP By a unanimous vote, the Community Development Committee moves that the President of the<br />

Village Council send a letter to the County, with a copy to Port Ludlow Associates, urging rapid<br />

movement on the setting of a date <strong>for</strong> the Appellant Hearing Examiner to hold his closed record<br />

hearing on the proposal <strong>for</strong> development of Ludlow Bay Village. We wish it to be made clear that we<br />

do not <strong>wa</strong>nt any more delays and that we prefer that the process to the courts move <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rd as<br />

quickly as possible.<br />

An audience member requested that a copy of this motion be sent to the LMC.<br />

Finance Committee – no report<br />

Recycling – no report<br />

Friday Market – no report<br />

More support is needed <strong>for</strong> the Friday night Bay Club fund raising dance.<br />

See Appendix 2 <strong>for</strong> Funfest Committee minutes<br />

Utilities – no report<br />

Natural Resources/Trails – Larry Scott detailed all the work being done on the temporary entrance to the<br />

Interpretative Trail. His committee will be dedicating the Grant Sharp Listening Center on September<br />

16 th as part of the Fun Fest activities, and then this ad hoc committee will cease to exist. Another<br />

committee is working with PLA on a possible trail in Ludlow Bay Cove. The opening of the Niblick’s Loop<br />

has been postponed until spring in order to minimize the work needed there in the marshy area.<br />

Asphalted areas will be given attention with the remaining monies in the Trails fund. He reminded all<br />

that during hunting season part of the Timberton Loop is multi-use Pope property and advised hikers to<br />

be a<strong>wa</strong>re. <strong>Pl</strong>ans are being made by Doris Monti <strong>for</strong> a celebration <strong>wa</strong>lk <strong>for</strong> the 10 th Anniversary of the<br />

Public Safety/Emergency Preparedness Committee – Tom Stone thanked Phil Norwine and Ho<strong>wa</strong>rd<br />

Morse <strong>for</strong> their combined 15 years of work in this area. He requested that a name change <strong>for</strong> this<br />

committee would be appropriate. He described the changing demographics, particularly in North Bay,<br />

and at his earlier presentation to the LMC today, he established their willingness to help him find a<br />

North Bay community coordinator. He outlined some budget requirements such as family service<br />

portable radios, and a base radio with antenna to be set up at the PLF & R station. He plans a spring<br />

meeting of all block captains and co-captains.<br />

MSP that the Public Safety/Emergency Preparedness Committee be re-named the Port Ludlow<br />

Disaster Preparedness Group. (All ayes)<br />

Recycling - a reminder of the Electronic Recycling Thursday, September 20.<br />

Utilities – no report. A reminder that a new sub-station is being built in Chimacum to be ready <strong>for</strong><br />

December. This will require the de-energizing of the Beaver Valley Road sub-station, and although Port<br />

Ludlow will not be without power during that process, it may be vulnerable but PSE assures that all<br />

necessary precautions have been taken to accommodate that.<br />

Appendix 3 Trails Committee meeting minutes<br />

Port Ludlow Trails/NRC Committee Meeting <strong>Minutes</strong><br />

04 Sept. <strong>2007</strong><br />

The meeting <strong>wa</strong>s called to order by Trails Chairman Larry Scott at 9:00 a.m.<br />

The day’s agenda and the 07 August <strong>2007</strong> minutes were approved.<br />

Sub-committee Reports:<br />

Finance: CFO Jack Manning <strong>wa</strong>s not present. No report.<br />

Natural Resources: Dick Ullmann reported that Tansy Ragwort, a poisonous noxious but pretty yellow<br />

weed, is still thriving in our community and should be removed by anyone so willing.<br />

Dick also reported good sales of our Natural Resources brochure at the Friday Markets.<br />

The wild flowers that were planted and cared <strong>for</strong> by Dick are looking especially nice now. The individual<br />

plantings will need weeding maintenance in perpetuity and hopefully the flowers will reseed themselves<br />

each year. A few more native plants will be purchased and planted this fall, with more added in time.<br />

It <strong>wa</strong>s suggested that some of the bird houses that were put up in the <strong>for</strong>est be moved closer to the<br />

margin of the <strong>for</strong>est as that might be preferable to some of the birds we are trying to attract.<br />

A spiffing-up work party will be held Saturday, 08 Sept. to prepare the trail and entrance <strong>for</strong> the<br />

dedication on 16 Sept. See below – Interpretive Trail – <strong>for</strong> more in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />

Ste<strong>wa</strong>rds: Doris Monti, Ste<strong>wa</strong>rds Coordinator, reported on her recent survey-of-the-trails. There are<br />

several places where numbered posts would be helpful on the Around the Bay Trail (#6, 7, 10 and 11<br />

and arrows on the Timberton Loop (near #5 and 3). Dean M<strong>org</strong>an has acquired the necessary signage<br />

and equipment <strong>for</strong> these and they are on the list of planned installations.<br />

Doris also reported that we need more ste<strong>wa</strong>rds. Skip Rasmussen is our newest ste<strong>wa</strong>rd and will be<br />

patrolling the Around the Bay Trail #18-25.<br />

Dan Darrow reported that the Bill Lane Trail near the Bay Club is in excellent condition. Check it out!<br />

Trails Status:<br />

Interpretive Trail: The leaner tree by the bridge is still leaning. We had received a bid <strong>for</strong> its removal but<br />

the contractor has since been unresponsive. Larry will solicit another contractor’s bid.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 29 of 93


Grant Sharpe Memorial: Marge Carter, leader of the ad hoc committee <strong>for</strong> this project, reported that<br />

Sunday, 16 Sept. has been chosen <strong>for</strong> the dedication of the new part of the trail. The “listening area” has<br />

new seating built and installed by Mike Porter and a compass rose which he also created. After this<br />

ceremony, the ad hoc committee will have no further commitment. Any monies left in the Grant Sharpe<br />

Fund will continue to go to<strong>wa</strong>rd this trail’s upkeep, and then the Trails budget will be responsible.<br />

Ludlow Cove: PLA has indicated that they would like us to help remove the massive Scot’s Broom growth<br />

on this trail. We are still considering <strong>wa</strong>ys to make this trail a loop.<br />

Rainier: Bicyclers have been using this trail despite posted signs at beginning and end. We need to check<br />

to make sure the signs are still there. Any other suggestions to discourage this activity would be<br />

appreciated. Timberton Loop is the only trail on which bicycles are allowed.<br />

New Business:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Soozie Darrow reported that in some sections of the Around the Bay Trail the asphalt is<br />

becoming dangerous due to tree roots heaving the asphalt. Suggest that we look in to various<br />

methods and costs of taking care of these areas.<br />

Dan Darrow reminded us that it is hunting season and we may hear gun shots and/or encounter<br />

hunters on the trails, especially Timberton Loop. Hunting is allowed on the Pope property<br />

through which the trail goes. We discussed posting signs at the boundaries of the Pope/PLA<br />

properties but came to no decision. Just be a<strong>wa</strong>re of your surroundings<br />

Doris Monti in<strong>for</strong>med us that this Fall marks the 10 th anniversary of the Timberton Loop being<br />

open after much trail blazing by Doris, Dottie Johnson, and Don Derrington. She would like to<br />

have a celebration sometime this Fall, perhaps a hike and lunch at Niblicks. Watch the VOICE <strong>for</strong><br />

further news.<br />

The recognition and appreciation party <strong>for</strong> trails workers and ste<strong>wa</strong>rds will be 3:00 p.m. Friday,<br />

5 Oct. at the Beach Club. The committee will provide all hors d’oeuvres and a program. Guests<br />

are to bring their own choice of beverages. An RSVP by 26 Sept. is requested. (Actually,<br />

invitations have already been issued to the Trails/NRC e-mail list).<br />

Goals & Priorities:<br />

1. Signage <strong>for</strong> all trails<br />

2. Niblick’s work<br />

3. Lower Rainier <strong>wa</strong>ter drainage – now that we’re approaching the wet season.<br />

The meeting <strong>wa</strong>s adjourned at 10:35 a.m. Next meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. 02 Oct. at the Beach<br />

Club.<br />

meeting between Jefferson County Healthcare and PLA representatives to review the opportunity <strong>for</strong><br />

placing a satellite health care unit in Port Ludlow.<br />

Assessment <strong>for</strong> Mediation Report: To quote the Buck Law Groups assessment of the situation, “It<br />

appears the distances between expressed positions are simply too large to merit moving <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rd with<br />

mediation. Further, appellants lack confidence in the County and PLA, while PLA lacks confidence that<br />

the appellants have valid issues or genuinely <strong>wa</strong>nt to settle.”<br />

that number. PLA should be able to go over details with the <strong>PLVC</strong> CDC committee by late August.<br />

Ludlow Bay Village – mediation process is well under<strong>wa</strong>y.<br />

T McCay inquired about various emails referring to the Teal Lake Rd widening project and PLA’s position<br />

Appendix 2: CDC Report August 2, <strong>2007</strong><br />

As there have been no new construction proposals to be considered, the CDC has not held any <strong>for</strong>mal<br />

meetings within the past month. The only activity which could be construed as pertaining to<br />

construction <strong>wa</strong>s a request by the owners of the propety at 401 South Bay Lane to increase the size of<br />

the float attached to their dock from 300 to 400 square feet. This request <strong>wa</strong>s reviewed in detail by<br />

Jefferson County Department of Community Development and referred tot eh Hearing Examiner <strong>for</strong><br />

further review. The hearing <strong>wa</strong>s held on Friday, July 13, <strong>2007</strong>. The decision <strong>wa</strong>s to allow the addition of<br />

100 square feet subject to t conditions such as compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws,<br />

regulations and ordinances. It <strong>wa</strong>s ruled that the applicant does not need a variance, given the absence<br />

of criteria <strong>for</strong> square footage with reference to a joint use dock and float. If anyone would like to read<br />

the entire Report and Decision I have a hard copy or I can <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rd it to you electronically.<br />

A second issue is the matter oaf the MERU counts submitted by David Wayne Johnson of the County<br />

DCDC. This will be presented in detail following our regular business meeting.<br />

We are expecting PLA to invite the CDC to view and review the proposed plans <strong>for</strong> housing development<br />

on the log dump site. When a date is determined a meeting of the Committee will be called to<br />

participate in this process.<br />

Finally, we are working together with PLA and Jefferson Healthcare to obtain suitable quarters <strong>for</strong> an<br />

urgent care facility here in Port Ludlow. We will be meeting with Jefferson Healthcare next Tuesday to<br />

plan the next steps.<br />

Approximately18 persons were in attendance<br />

Guest Speaker: John Austin, Jefferson County Commissioner, District 3 in his first <strong>for</strong>mal appearance in<br />

Port Ludlow gave a summation of his role as a County Commissioner <strong>for</strong> the past six months covering<br />

these three topics:<br />

Ribbon Cuttings at <strong>for</strong>mal events such as playground openings, County Courthouse renovation<br />

dedication, representing us to express appreciation <strong>for</strong> the work done by others be<strong>for</strong>e he came to<br />

office. This has af<strong>for</strong>ded him the opportunity to meet the people in the county such as members of the<br />

Indian tribes and nations in the area, and he appreciates what the <strong>PLVC</strong> is doing in trying to bring the<br />

community together.<br />

Learning about the 307 employees of the County Roads department, Health department, Sheriff’s<br />

department, the various Fire Districts, and Jefferson Transit. He currently sits on the Board of County<br />

Commissions, the Health Board, Jefferson Transit Board, the Mental Health Board (Regional Support<br />

Network) and the Hood Canal Coordinating Council. He is also working with other cities, counties, Indian<br />

nations and tribes. He has learned a considerable amount about the Revised Code of Washington (RCW),<br />

the Jefferson County codes as well as Washington State administration codes covering such topics as<br />

Open Meetings Act and understands better now the County’s legislative (applies throughout the County<br />

to every citizen e.g. County ordinances) and quasi-judicial functions (such as Pit-pier issue, or Hearing<br />

Examiner process where one person or entity is affected). Budgeting $41 million (dollars) of which some<br />

$13.5 (approx) monies coming from three areas: property tax, sales tax and PIL (payment in lieu of<br />

taxes) and from other sources that cannot be taxed.<br />

Building on what currently exists; he hopes to encourage more businesses especially in some of the farreaching<br />

area of the County. He <strong>wa</strong>nts to bring people, needs and resources together by providing<br />

financial assistance to groups of people, or to assist in providing solutions such as the current mediation<br />

process currently under<strong>wa</strong>y with PLA and the appellants.<br />

L. Nobles thanked Commissioner Austin <strong>for</strong> the in<strong>for</strong>mative discourse and asked if two additional<br />

commissioners would be an asset. Mr. Austin replied that currently three is the cost effective number<br />

<strong>for</strong> this County.<br />

MSP to approve the minutes of the June 7 general meeting. (All ayes)<br />

These will be posted on the website soon.<br />

MSP to accept Jack McKay as the replacement <strong>for</strong> Lani McCarry. (All ayes)<br />

Community Reports<br />

Jefferson County Administrator – In John Fischbach’s absence, Wayne David Johnson reported on a well<br />

attended Critical Areas Ordinance on Vegetation Removal meeting. He will make available his power<br />

point presentation and in<strong>for</strong>mation to interested parties. He briefly mentioned critical areas being<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 40 of 93


wetlands, shorelines, slope stability hazard areas. He mentioned the mediation process is under<strong>wa</strong>y<br />

ending maybe late August, and that tomorrow Friday, July 6 two candidates will be interviewed <strong>for</strong> the<br />

position of Appellate Hearing Examiner, with final determination expected by late July.<br />

Based on queries and ensuing discussion re MERU’s, GIS maps and critical areas within Port Ludlow<br />

MPR, he stated he would be prepared next meeting to present more detailed in<strong>for</strong>mation on those<br />

topics to better assist the <strong>PLVC</strong> board members.<br />

Port Ludlow Associates – Diana Smeland reported on the mediation process with set amount of monies<br />

paid 1/3 by PLA, 1/3 by the County and 1/3 by the appellants. Peter Buck has asked <strong>for</strong> goals and history<br />

on the project. PLA has submitted theirs and he is currently <strong>wa</strong>iting <strong>for</strong> the appellants’. Neither party will<br />

see the other’s goals until all parties meet with him.<br />

Olympic Terrace II’s first model will be ready the first week of August and featured in the Parade of<br />

Homes of Kitsap County.<br />

Hidden Cove’s application will by made by year’s end, with the possibility of 45 homes allowed.<br />

The Resort will feature “Music at the Marina” – free music – every Thursday night during August.<br />

Fire District #3 – Ed Wilkerson, Chief complimented Port Ludlow residents on an uneventful but safe 4th<br />

of July. The Burn Ban is in effect from July 1 until mid-September. A new fire fighter training program is<br />

under<strong>wa</strong>y with the possibility of 3 new hires<br />

His men were complimented <strong>for</strong> their fine work on the Beaver Dam <strong>wa</strong>lkout on Timberton Loop trail.<br />

When asked if a permanent helipad is required <strong>for</strong> helicopter evacuation to hospital by EMS, he stated<br />

that there are three adequate areas currently in use – behind the Post Office in Port Hadlock, between<br />

the conference Center and Admiralty condos in Port Ludlow, and the Fred Hill pits – and are used 8 – 10<br />

times annually.<br />

Treasurer’s Report:<br />

In Gene Carmody’s absence, John Cragoe presented the report indicating that the one item of significant<br />

importance <strong>wa</strong>s that $15,000 <strong>wa</strong>s removed from checking and three (3) $5000 CD’s were purchased.<br />

These will roll <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rd every three months, gaining some interest <strong>for</strong> the Treasury.<br />

MSP to accept the Treasurer’s Report. (all ayes) See Appendix 1 <strong>for</strong> Treasurer’s Report.<br />

Committee Reports:<br />

Communications Committee – Jack McKay’s list of “key communicators” has grown to 220, and after a<br />

summary of the last survey <strong>wa</strong>s sent out, 15 thank you’ s were received. To date, no one has declined<br />

the opportunity to complete any surveys. Another survey will soon go out <strong>for</strong> feedback on Port Ludlow<br />

and the perceived role of the <strong>PLVC</strong> within the community. Tony Durham hoped that the group surveyed<br />

expands to encompass as many of the residents as possible. There is still a perception that more South<br />

Bay residents complete surveys than those in North Bay. Jack McKay’s committee is sensitive to that and<br />

Vaughn Bradshaw is assisting in helping to add new “communicators” from the latter area. It <strong>wa</strong>s<br />

suggested that a Voice article might get more people involved.<br />

Community Development – Tom McCay reported no meetings re issues of development in Port Ludlow<br />

have taken place. He mentioned the new Critical Areas Ordinance. He also stated that in a meeting with<br />

Michelle McConnell re contemplated changes in Shoreline Management. He referred to the GIS maps<br />

that are available to any one on line or through the Jefferson County office.<br />

See Appendix 2 <strong>for</strong> full report<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 41 of 93


Finance – John Cragoe praised the Friday Market and Phone Directory <strong>for</strong> augmenting the budget.<br />

Expenses to date were under but within expectations.<br />

Friday Market –doing better than the past 2-3 years. Kudos to Sandy Schmidt and David Goudie<br />

Fun Fest – Neil and Lia Robinson reported that all is going well; a lapel pin will be available, that<br />

committee members are close to completing all tasks, that a fly-over by the US Navy is still possible. The<br />

Health permits and liquor licenses have been bought. The Friday Market may become a focal point <strong>for</strong><br />

raising a<strong>wa</strong>reness and money as the Fun Fest committee along with the Trails Committee and the <strong>PLVC</strong><br />

will host a combined booth.<br />

Natural Resources/Trails – Dan and Soozie Darrow attended a trail meeting held in Kitsap County and<br />

arranged by Jon Rose with over 200 in attendance. It is hoped that once Pope takes over development<br />

of Tala Point that ideas <strong>for</strong> a trail there will be fostered after having attended this very in<strong>for</strong>mative and<br />

encouraging meeting.<br />

Phone Directory – Robert Azen is the “<strong>wa</strong>rehouser” of any unsold or remaining directories.<br />

Public Safety/Emergency Preparedness – no report. A replacement is needed as a result of Phil<br />

Norwhine’s resignation.<br />

Recycling – no report<br />

Utilities – no report<br />

Health Facilities Group – Jefferson Health is still interested in pursuing this endeavor. No adequate<br />

location has yet been found.<br />

the October 4 th General Meeting. Discussion ensued re reaching out to obtain a fair representation of all<br />

Port Ludlow residents, utilizing the “key communicators” <strong>for</strong> suggestions of possible candidates<br />

MSP that the <strong>PLVC</strong> council members act as the Nominating Committee and actively develop a varied<br />

slate of viable candidates. (7 ayes, 2 nays)<br />

Comments from the floor:<br />

Dan Meade indicated clearly that he would like to see <strong>PLVC</strong> invite to an open meeting or <strong>for</strong>um the<br />

group of Powers, Loomis, etc that is constantly threatening individual members of the different Boards<br />

and who also claim that the <strong>PLVC</strong> should not represent Port Ludlow. He supports the idea of open<br />

meetings and would like to hear, as many others, what exactly the issues are to this group. He would like<br />

to be able to ask questions of these people face to face, and have it in an open <strong>for</strong>um where all<br />

interested parties may ask questions of this group <strong>for</strong> clarification of issues. And it is expected that this<br />

group will be prepared to answer questions from the audience.<br />

Action item <strong>for</strong> next workshop meeting: set a date, time and location to which this group can be invited<br />

<strong>for</strong> a public <strong>for</strong>um.<br />

The lady golfers of Port Ludlow wish to acknowledge the support of the many large and small<br />

Appendix 2 Community Development Committee report<br />

In January <strong>2007</strong> the County put into effect an ordinance regulating the removal of vegetation in Critical<br />

or Environmentally Sensitive Areas through the Unified Development Code, or UDC, JCC Title 18. In the<br />

past, requests to remove or trim trees within Geographically Hazardous area, JCC 18.15.275 (6) (d); Fish<br />

and Wildlife Habitat Areas (Streams, Eagle Habitat ) JCC 18.15.315 (5)(c); Wetlands JCC 18.15.330 (5) (c)<br />

and Shore Lands JCC 18.25.410 (3) (e) were done without charge.<br />

Effective January 1, <strong>2007</strong>, tree removal requests will require consistency review with a Type I review<br />

process. The minimum application fee is $153, with additional review time to be billed prior to decision<br />

issuance. The case type would by ZON (zoning). If the proposed removal will take place within the<br />

mapped critical area, a report from a qualified preparer (geo-tech, arborist or other scientific report)<br />

under Article VI-J will be needed. This requirement is necessary to determine where the critical area is,<br />

what level it is and what effect the proposed activity will have on it.<br />

In all instances, buffers shall be retained in their natural conditions; however, minor pruning of<br />

vegetation to enhance views may be permitted by the Administrator (Stacie Hoskins) on a case-by-case<br />

basis as long as the function and character of the buffers are not diminished.<br />

Be<strong>for</strong>e application <strong>for</strong> tree removal, the requester should check the County GIS maps <strong>for</strong> critical areas<br />

and also see if they exceed the threshold <strong>for</strong> a Storm<strong>wa</strong>ter of DNR permit. Maps can be checked online<br />

at www.jefferson.co.<strong>wa</strong>.us or by calling the County <strong>Pl</strong>anner of the Day at 379-4450<br />

The report emphasized that vegetation is important in preventing landslides, especially trees. Erosion<br />

naturally follows removal of vegetation.<br />

Buffers shall remain naturally vegetated, but they may be reduced through mitigation, generally by<br />

replanting areas. Hazardous trees can be removed but each situation must be reviewed by the County.<br />

In some cases, agencies of State government may become involved; such as the Department of Ecology<br />

and Department of Natural Resources.<br />

Recommendations from the County to HOA’s and Master Association (LMC, SBCA) include:<br />

1. Develop a comprehensive plan <strong>for</strong> vegetation, particularly in Critical Areas<br />

2. Make an open space inventory<br />

3. Obtain scientific studies (arborist, geologist, soils expert)<br />

4. Review results with County<br />

a. Once approved, no further approvals will be needed unless plans are changed<br />

Note: Critical Areas maps include ArcIMS HTML Viewer Maps in color; Legend Road System, Legend<br />

Parcels.<br />

The County <strong>Pl</strong>anning Commission and Board of County Commissioners are working on an extensive<br />

review of the Critical Areas Ordinance, the draft of which will come up <strong>for</strong> public comment in July <strong>2007</strong>,<br />

so there may be changes to what we now know.<br />

JUNE 19, <strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> WORKSHOP MEETING<br />

<strong>Minutes</strong><br />

The meeting <strong>wa</strong>s convened at 3 p.m. at the Bay Club. Present were Larry Nobles, Don Clark, Tom McCay,<br />

Bill Browne, Gene Carmody, Allen Panasuk, and Tony Durham, (Absent: Suzanne Graber, Adele Govert,<br />

Frank Siler, Lani McCarry and Vaughn Bradshaw)<br />

There were 5 guests in attendance.<br />

Items discussed included:<br />

New Board member: Nobles described the process of replacing Lani McCarry who has resigned from the<br />

Board. A candidate will be identified and proposed at the Monthly General Meeting.<br />

Treasurer Report: Gene Carmody explained the changes he <strong>wa</strong>s making in the cash holdings in the <strong>PLVC</strong><br />

bank accounts to obtain a better return and yet have adequate cash available <strong>for</strong> current needs.<br />

Port Ludlow Health Facility Project: Larry Nobles described a visit made to the Quilcene Health Facility.<br />

The group making the site visit <strong>wa</strong>s positively impressed by the approximately 1100 sq. ft. physical<br />

facility and the personnel. Site plans of that facility have been <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rded to PLA <strong>for</strong> their consideration<br />

in providing space in Port Ludlow <strong>for</strong> a local office.<br />

Funfest: While the ef<strong>for</strong>ts are off to a fast and well <strong>org</strong>anized start, there is need <strong>for</strong> added community<br />

involvement. The next Funfest meeting is scheduled <strong>for</strong> July 13, 9 a.m. at the Beach Club. Interested<br />

volunteers are invited to attend. <strong>Pl</strong>ease spread the word.<br />

Resort Hearings/Mediation Update: The County is interviewing hearing examiners to consider the<br />

appeal. The mediation process is in place. Updated MERU statistics should be available by month’s end.<br />

Phone Directory: Dave Armitage reported that the duties <strong>for</strong> the Directory’s next edition have been<br />

handed to Bob Azen. Armitage also suggested that the <strong>PLVC</strong> offer the developers of the next edition<br />

appropriate soft<strong>wa</strong>re <strong>for</strong> accounting, billing, and general record keeping. He also recommended that the<br />

advertising space sales team be expanded and the sales activity be started earlier than in the past.<br />

Friday Market and Funfest: Neil and Lia Robinson indicated that everything <strong>wa</strong>s on schedule. They also<br />

recommended that <strong>PLVC</strong> take credit in the signage of both events. They also recommended that the<br />

<strong>PLVC</strong> spread its name in regard to its involvement with other community activities (Trails, Phone<br />

Directory, etc.). The Funfest will be opening a booth at the Friday Market in mid-July to promote the<br />

event. This may be shared with <strong>PLVC</strong> <strong>for</strong> promoting other community undertakings.<br />

Development Standards and Signs: Concern <strong>wa</strong>s expressed in regard to local businesses not adhering to<br />

the CC&R regulations. Different approaches were discussed to in<strong>for</strong>m businesses of the regulations and<br />

reminding them of our community’s interests of avoiding sign clutter.<br />

Election Preparation: Board nominees <strong>for</strong> 3 two year North Bay positions, 1 one year North Bay position<br />

and 2 two year South Bay positions will be taking place in October. Names and credentials should be<br />

given to the Voice staff <strong>for</strong> September publication thus the nominating committee needs to initiate the<br />

nominating process.<br />

One Port Ludlow: The Board and attendees spent considerable time discussing goals and activities <strong>for</strong><br />

changing the current stalemate between small factions in the North and South communities. The<br />

current situation is not healthy <strong>for</strong> the entire community.<br />

Meeting ended 5:15 p.m.<br />

There were no motions made and no votes taken.<br />

JUNE 7, <strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> GENERAL MEETING<br />

The meeting <strong>wa</strong>s convened at 3:00 p.m. Present: Bill Browne, Gene Carmody, Don Clarke, Tony Durham,<br />

Adele Govert, Suzanne Graber, Mea Graham, Tom McCay, Larry Nobles, Frank Siler.<br />

Absent: Allen Panasuk, Lani McCarry, Vaughn Bradshaw<br />

L. Nobles called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m. and ensured that there <strong>wa</strong>s a quorum. Approximately<br />

25 persons were in attendance.<br />

Guest Speaker: Ian McFall, Executive Director, Economic Development Council described a new Council<br />

approach based on local demographics (46% are retirees, the average income is 30% below the state<br />

average, there is a declining enrolment in the rural schools, and the average home price is unaf<strong>for</strong>dable<br />

to the average <strong>wa</strong>ge earner all causing emigration of the younger workers). He views the role of the EDC<br />

as three-fold: to create desirable economic growth, provide one-stop support <strong>for</strong> the region’s<br />

businesses, and to provide a “voice” of local industry with regard to state and county regulations. With a<br />

focus on existing local industries, they wish to determine obstacles to growth, help remove unnecessary<br />

regulatory obstacles, and create a five-year plan <strong>for</strong> future development of local businesses. The EDC<br />

hopes to help growth in both vertical and horizontal expansion, obtain state and federal funding <strong>for</strong><br />

regional programs that provide an infrastructure <strong>for</strong> key regional industries. There are five target local<br />

industries in Jefferson County: technology, marine trades, aquaculture and agriculture, tourism and<br />

hospitality, and light manufacturing. The major obstacles to growth perceived here are the lack of<br />

markets, adequately trained work<strong>for</strong>ce, facilities, infrastructure (e.g. high speed internet is still not<br />

available throughout the region), regulations and capital. He described what the EDC is actively doing<br />

that is different from previous EDC entities: the board now has key industry representatives (not elected<br />

or appointed individuals), funding is done through membership fees and service fees, paid staff and<br />

volunteers. The projects are regional in scope with clear benefits to Jefferson County, and the focus is to<br />

be project-oriented (e.g. funding, training classes and the leadership skills being manifested are<br />

entrepreneurial, focused on results and driven by members). The EDC accomplishments thus far are: all<br />

business people on the board, an increase in membership (80%) and the EDC has been self-sustaining<br />

<strong>for</strong> the past 6 months. There is now a rate schedule <strong>for</strong> membership. The EDC has become a business<br />

now rather than a government agency. For further in<strong>for</strong>mation, contact: director @edcjc.com 360-385-<br />

6767 2200 Sims Way, Port Townsend.<br />

MSP to approve the minutes of the May 3 general meeting. (All ayes)<br />

These will be posted on the website by Monday, June 11.<br />

Community Reports<br />

Jefferson County Administrator – John Fischbach announced that Peter Buck has been chosen as the<br />

mediator in the Port Ludlow Mediation / Hearing Examiner case on appeal and that the following ground<br />

rules have been established:<br />

1. No attorneys unless they are themselves appellants will be permitted.<br />

2. Fees of $15000 will be split three <strong>wa</strong>ys – PLA, Jefferson County and the appellants as a group.<br />

3. The County will be responsible <strong>for</strong> coordinating the logistics and the process.<br />

4. There is a need to agree on “stakeholders”; i.e. who will be invited to the table.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 50 of 93


5. It is not an open public meeting of a governing body, but rather is an attempt to mediate among<br />

parties that are litigating. Individuals not mediating will not be able to attend the mediation<br />

sessions.<br />

6. Involved parties have the right to consult privately with their attorneys from time to time but<br />

outside the mediation sessions.<br />

7. The County will select the mediator with the approval of the other parties (Peter Buck <strong>wa</strong>s<br />

selected).<br />

The applications <strong>for</strong> a new Appellate Hearing Examiner closes June 17 and the selection will be made by<br />

the end of June. The Closed Record Appeal Hearing will be conducted simultaneously with mediation in<br />

August. If the mediation is in progress, and an appeal is not needed, then the County will refund the fees<br />

paid by the appellants <strong>for</strong> the appeal.<br />

Olympic Terrace II has been approved by the Board of commissioners and the final plat recorded as of<br />

May 7 th .<br />

The Paradise Bay Road lights will soon be completed.<br />

When asked by a council member about the status of the Visitor Center, Mr. Fischbach reported that the<br />

center will remain where it is, and after some permitting issues are resolved, they intend to landscape,<br />

pave, put in bathrooms, add new signage and perhaps a picnic area. All this should take place within the<br />

next year or so.<br />

Diana Smeland, Port Ludlow Associates President, reported that the County Hearing Examiner approved<br />

the proposed Ludlow Bay Village development on February 8, <strong>2007</strong>. PLA is entering into mediation with<br />

the appellants and hopes to resolve outstanding issues. If that is not successful, PLA hopes to have the<br />

Appellant Hearing sometime in July or August. The Olympic Terrace II final plat approval <strong>wa</strong>s received<br />

May 7 th and the plat recorded on May 10 th . They have released pricing the model and standard specs, as<br />

well as lot premiums. The standard specs will be granite countertops, tile, custom cherry cabinetry,<br />

hardwood floors, 10' ceilings and 8’ doors. The first model, the Anderson, is 2,465 sq ft and is single<br />

story. The second model is the Claywood at 2703 sq ft, and is also a single story. The third model, the<br />

Olympus, is 3157 sq ft and two stories. They anticipate opening the Olympus model in later July or early<br />

August. Two additional models should be completed during the Fall.<br />

Arlene Obtinario, Administrative Chief PLFR, on behalf of Chief Ed Wilkerson, reported that the Board of<br />

Fire Commissioners has approved a new Fire Fighter Trainee program that opens three fulltime, fire<br />

fighter/emergency medical technician trainee positions to members of our Volunteer Resident Fire<br />

Fighter program. These three new trainee positions allow <strong>for</strong> full staffing 24 hours per day at the Port<br />

Ludlow and the Shine/ South Point stations. PLF&R expects to start this new program mid-July.<br />

PLF&R is partnering with Melanie D. Lewis and Maureen Larsen, PL Coldwell Banker realtors, to sponsor<br />

the first annual Health and Safety Fair at an open house at the Port Ludlow/Oak Bay fire station. Friday<br />

August 31, 1-4 p.m. If interested in participating in the fair, contact Port Ludlow Fire and Rescue<br />

Administrative Chief Arlene Obtinario at 360-437-2236. See Appendix 1 <strong>for</strong> Health Fair in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />

Treasurer’s Report:<br />

Gene Carmody thanked John Cragoe <strong>for</strong> his able assistance. The storage unit is now rented on an annual<br />

basis saving <strong>PLVC</strong> one month’s rent. To date, the rental fee <strong>for</strong> spaces at the Friday Market has garnered<br />

$780.00, and with the large number of vendors it is expected that June cash will be even higher. The<br />

phone directory sales have earned $1490.00 to date and are continuing briskly. The Funfest projection<br />

figures look good.<br />

MSP to accept the Treasurer’s Report. (All ayes) See Appendix 2 <strong>for</strong> Treasurer’s Report.<br />

Committee Reports:<br />

Communications Committee - Jack McKay stated that the committee now has some 200 key<br />

communicators that completed surveys. They will be <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rding an updated report to <strong>PLVC</strong> in the near<br />

future.<br />

Community Development – Tom McCay said that this committee has held no meeting due to the delay<br />

in the Ludlow Bay build-out. Separately, he is concerned with lines of communication with the County.<br />

In a May 30 meeting with Larry Nobles, Tom McCay and Al Scalf, it <strong>wa</strong>s agreed that David Wayne<br />

Johnson would update the MERU data.<br />

Finance - John Cragoe reported that a letter sent to agencies seeking insurance policy proposals has had<br />

no response to-date. Consequently, the Safeco policy <strong>wa</strong>s renewed.<br />

D<strong>wa</strong>yne Wilcox will review general liability insurance <strong>for</strong> Friday market and Funfest activities and ensure<br />

that the <strong>PLVC</strong> has appropriate coverage. In regard to the Friday market the number of vendors has<br />

increased, but buyers are needed. Council members were encouraged to spread the word to encourage<br />

visits to the market.<br />

Funfest – Lia outlined the work the committee has accomplished, discussed budget items and insurance<br />

concerns. This committee has accomplished a lot to date with still much to do. She referred the council<br />

to a catalogue titled Festivals in WA Counties Calendar and suggested that they might consider applying<br />

<strong>for</strong> inclusion in that <strong>for</strong> next year’s Fun Fest to promote interest and gain more income.<br />

See appendix 3 <strong>for</strong> budget report and committee meeting minutes<br />

Trails – Larry Scott publicly thanked PLA <strong>for</strong> supporting the make-over of the entrance to the<br />

Interpretative Trail and the donation of two weed wrenches <strong>for</strong> Scotch broom. He also thanked the Fire<br />

Chief and his crew who assisted with completing the Beaver Dam Trail. He mentioned future plans and<br />

priorities <strong>for</strong> improving trail drainage and budgeting <strong>for</strong> trail asphalt. Brian Belmont will assist him with<br />

that, and he asked Gene <strong>for</strong> a line item <strong>for</strong> that in the budget. Jack Riggin and Larry Scott will co-chair<br />

the LMC Greenbelt committee. Larry Nobles thanked Larry Scott and all his volunteers <strong>for</strong> the continuing<br />

improvement of the Port Ludlow trail system.<br />

Recycling – Steve Failla mentioned the addition of bins <strong>for</strong> green glass and #2 plastics. There have been<br />

additional bins added, thus reducing overloading and less frequent pick-up is needed. <strong>Pl</strong>ease call<br />

Skookum if a specific bin is close to full. Phone numbers are on the bins.<br />

Electronic recycling, a joint ef<strong>for</strong>t of the Boeing Bluebills and Skookum, will take place Thursday,<br />

September 20, 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon.<br />

Utilities – Walt Cairns reported his committee had a short meeting with 4 people from Puget Sound<br />

Energy to discuss: 1. Encouraging residents to report these “danger trees” to PSE. and 2. The technical<br />

issue – the substation at the Four Corners is right on schedule according to PSE. PSE also intends to<br />

upgrade the quality of power on Oak Bay Road. This committee will meet again in September.<br />

Health Facilities Group – would be similar to that which is currently in operation in Quilcene. Larry<br />

Nobles described the meeting held to discuss this topic and the subsequent response. See Appendix 4<br />

B. Browne reported that he suggested that the SBCA Board support a concept of community harmony<br />

and recommend continuing support of the newly elected Board. The topic of unifying the area, how to<br />

get discussions started, should have the <strong>PLVC</strong> serving as a facilitator with the goal of maintaining the<br />

ef<strong>for</strong>ts. A meeting of SBCA, <strong>PLVC</strong>, and the LMC to develop a strategy <strong>for</strong> this ef<strong>for</strong>t will take place on<br />

Friday June 22 at 4:00 p.m. (location to be determined). Larry Nobles will check with Vaughn Bradshaw<br />

to see if the date and time are suitable <strong>for</strong> the LMC. The next <strong>PLVC</strong> workshop meeting will develop a<br />

mini agenda and a process by which this can get under<strong>wa</strong>y.<br />

Lani McCarry has given her verbal resignation. The written resignation is expected within the week. An<br />

agenda item <strong>for</strong> the <strong>PLVC</strong> workshop will be a replacement <strong>for</strong> Lani.<br />

Another agenda item will be the Wednesday June 27 tree cutting ordinance meeting with Jefferson<br />

County officials.<br />

The third item <strong>for</strong> this workshop will be nominees <strong>for</strong> the incoming <strong>PLVC</strong> Board.<br />

Appendix 4:<br />

Port Ludlow Health Facilities Group<br />

Update<br />

June7, <strong>2007</strong><br />

After an initial contact with Vic Dirksen(CEO of Jefferson Healthcare) indicated<br />

that they would be willing to consider the possibility of a health facility of some type in<br />

Port Ludlow a small group from the Village Council met with several local retired MDs<br />

to discuss this issue on March 19, <strong>2007</strong>. The general consensus <strong>wa</strong>s that such a facility<br />

would be very beneficial to our Community and that we should continue to explore this<br />

possibility with Jefferson Healthcare.<br />

Accordingly a larger group met with Vic Dirksen, Paula Dowdle(JHC Chief<br />

Operating Officer), and Kathy Hill and Chuck Russell(both members of the JHC Board)<br />

on April 12.. At this meeting JHC agreed to investigate the project in greater detail and<br />

to convene a small meeting to work on details.<br />

JHC held a subsequent meeting at the hospital in Port Townsend on May 7. Port<br />

Ludlow <strong>wa</strong>s represented by Alan Panasuk of the Village Council, Ron Deisher(a resident<br />

with a background in healthcare), and Diana Smeland and Larry Smith of PLA. Ed<br />

Wilkerson, our Fire Chief, attended briefly, but <strong>wa</strong>s called a<strong>wa</strong>y on an emergency.<br />

JHC is considering the possibility of a facility similar to the one they now operate<br />

in Quilicene. The Clinic would be supervised by an MD, and staffed by a registered<br />

Physicians Assistant. It would be primarily a <strong>wa</strong>lk-in Urgent Care Clinic, but might also<br />

take some appointment-based primary healthcare patients. JHC would initially commit to<br />

operation of the Clinic <strong>for</strong> a year, with continuation dependent on the experience of the<br />

first year.<br />

Two major problems are now being addressed: (1) Where can we find space to<br />

put such a facility in Port Ludlow?; (2 Is the initial capital cost to establish the Clinic<br />

af<strong>for</strong>dable <strong>for</strong> JHC? Another major question is: Will our Community wholeheartedly<br />

support such a facility if we can get it up and running?<br />

The Village Council has been represented in these discussions by Tony Durham,<br />

Tom McCay, Larry Nobles, and Alan Panasuk. We wish to thank the many other Port<br />

Ludlow residents who have helped out with time and advice. These include Jerry<br />

Brady(Chiropractor and current President of the Chamber of Commerce), Michael Cahn,<br />

Bill Collins, Bruce Hudson, Connie MacDonald, Francis Marik, Kevin Ryan and Bill<br />

Shamhart(all retired doctors); Ron Deisher and Tracy Gordy( healthcare administrators);<br />

and Ed Wilkerson, Fire Chief.<br />

This Clinic proposal is now under active discussion between Jefferson Healthcare,<br />

Port Ludlow Associates, and the Village Council.<br />

<strong>Minutes</strong><br />

MAY 22, <strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> WORKSHOP MEETING<br />

The meeting <strong>wa</strong>s convened at 3 p.m. at the Bay Club. Present were Larry Nobles, Don Clark, Tom McCay,<br />

Bill Browne, Adele Govert, Gene Carmody, Allen Panasuk, Tony Durham, Frank Siler, Lani McCarry and<br />

Vaughn Bradshaw. (Absent: Suzanne Graber)<br />

There were 4 guests in attendance.<br />

Items discussed included:<br />

New Board member: Vaughn Bradshaw <strong>wa</strong>s introduced as the new LMC Board president.<br />

Treasurer Report: Gene Carmody explained the changes he <strong>wa</strong>s making in the account balances,<br />

merging some and placing added funds in accounts bearing higher interest.<br />

Funfest: While the ef<strong>for</strong>ts are off to a fast and well <strong>org</strong>anized start, there is need <strong>for</strong> added community<br />

involvement. The next Funfest meeting is scheduled <strong>for</strong> June 13, 9 a.m. at the Beach Club. Interested<br />

volunteers are invited to attend.<br />

Insurance: There have been no replies to the RFPs on <strong>PLVC</strong>’s two policies. The general liability policy has<br />

been renewed <strong>for</strong> a year and second (Officers and Directors Liability Insurance), which does not come<br />

due until later in the year, will be reviewed again.<br />

Resort Core Update: The county is seeking an independent appellant hearing examiner. Currently<br />

responses to phone calls by board members to county offices concerning the status of the hearing plans<br />

and scheduling have been tardy. Bradshaw said that involved parties, including LMC, have agreed to<br />

mediation and a mediator is being identified.<br />

Communications Committee Report: Key communicators (~150 residents) have been surveyed to get a<br />

pulse on community priorities. The highest interest <strong>wa</strong>s to develop a single community and not one<br />

divided by the Bay. The residents surveyed are looking at <strong>PLVC</strong> as a leader in the process of bringing the<br />

community together.<br />

It appears that most community residents do not recognize the <strong>PLVC</strong>’s role in community<br />

events/undertakings (i.e. Natural Resources/Trails Committee, Phone Directory preparation and<br />

publication, Friday Market, Funfest, etc.). These are community events/activities offered to residents<br />

under the umbrella of the <strong>PLVC</strong>.<br />

Critical Areas Ordinance: The County is reviewing rules that could affect each homeowners rights to<br />

manage the landscape (tree cutting) on their property. An in<strong>for</strong>mational meeting, including LMC and<br />

SBCA together with other interested parties (<strong>PLVC</strong> CDC, i.e.) with a representative of the County DCD<br />

will be held in late June. This meeting with the County regarding tree issues within the Critical Area<br />

Ordinance will be held at the Beach Club on June 27 at 3 P.M. It will be in everyone's interest to attend,<br />

as it affects our ability to maintain cutting, trimming and view maintenance issues.<br />

One Port Ludlow: Discussed the possibilities of bringing the officers of LMC, SBCA and <strong>PLVC</strong> together and<br />

opening a discussion regarding improved cooperation and relations among the residents of Port Ludlow.<br />

A process <strong>wa</strong>s outlined <strong>for</strong> defining and developing plans, and then monitoring and/or adjusting those<br />

plans to address priority issues that come be<strong>for</strong>e the Council. It is recommended that Board members<br />

make a copy and review the attached process <strong>for</strong> future reference. (See attached exhibits 1-4)<br />

Jefferson County Health Care regard to opening a local facility. Suitable property has not been identified<br />

at this time.<br />

to:<br />

Mr. Fischbach, when asked, suggested that economic growth in Port Ludlow is currently at a standstill<br />

now that Trendwest has opted out.<br />

A resident asked if possibly a class action suit against the minority group with its own agenda and<br />

constant threats of litigation could stop the snowballing effect. A board member stated that a citizen<br />

movement could make inquiries re class action, and suggested it be made a topic <strong>for</strong> a workshop<br />

Community Reports:<br />

John Fischbach, Jefferson County Administrator, mentioned three areas of interest:<br />

The Resort Buildout Hearing scheduled <strong>for</strong> May 4 has been cancelled since Stephen Casseaux cannot<br />

serve as Appellate Examiner and Hearing Examiner. Mr. Fischbach outlined the process by which this<br />

dilemma may be solved, and a decision will be made in the near future.<br />

The Paradise Bay Road improvement is near completion with the bid a<strong>wa</strong>rded <strong>for</strong> the lights which will<br />

soon be in place. He announced that this project <strong>wa</strong>s named #1 road project by APWA (Association of<br />

Public Works of Washington).<br />

The Visitors’ Center may possibly be re-located, and pending further discussions, a decision will be made<br />

within a month or so. Since this is the “gate<strong>wa</strong>y to the Olympic Peninsula”, Clallam County and Port<br />

Townsend have been approached seeking financial support of an upgraded and improved facility<br />

Miriam Villiard, PLA Project Manager, reported PLA is still a<strong>wa</strong>iting final plat approval <strong>for</strong> OT-2, that one<br />

model home is well under <strong>wa</strong>y, and once final plat approval is obtained, they will proceed with 2 other<br />

model homes and four building permits.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 61 of 93

the Washington State statutes and cited the example that indeed the <strong>PLVC</strong> can provide comment to<br />

county agencies on land use applications concerning the Port Ludlow Master <strong>Pl</strong>anned Resort (MPR). The<br />

lawyer also noted a state statute intended to deter those filing civil lawsuits aimed at constraining or<br />

Appendix 3:<br />

To: Port Ludlow Village Council.<br />

Re: Telephone Directory<br />

First, allow me to apologize <strong>for</strong> not being able to attend your meeting this afternoon, but<br />

my wife (Boni) and I have a commitment to tutor students at the Jefferson County Library<br />

on Thursday afternoons.<br />

As you are a<strong>wa</strong>re, this project is basically over and the telephone directory is now being<br />

distributed at both clubs. So I would encourage everyone to get their new edition.<br />

Be<strong>for</strong>e addressing the clean up work, I would like to express my sincere appreciate to a<br />

tremendously gifted team of people who volunteered to work on this committee. Not<br />

only are they gifted but they are a fun group to be associated with.<br />

Bob Azen - For you who do not know Bob, he is the gentlemen who handles the<br />

distribution of the Voice and maintains the inventory of the telephone directory. Bob will<br />

be continuing to maintain the inventory and distribution of the directory.<br />

Dick Durand - This man is a gifted salesperson with a tremendous personality. Dick and<br />

his wife Marilyn ran Funfest last year and then Dick turned around and came to work on<br />

the directory.<br />

Bob Force - Bob is the keeper of the list of who lives in Port Ludlow. Bob has spent<br />

hours working with both clubs trying to maintain a current list of residents <strong>for</strong> the <strong>PLVC</strong>.<br />

David Goudie - David has and is working on Funfest, Friday Market, The Voice and now<br />

the directory. He not only volunteers but he spent his own money to buy soft<strong>wa</strong>re to do<br />

the yellow pages <strong>for</strong> the directory.<br />

Mike Larkin - Mike <strong>wa</strong>s the co-chair <strong>for</strong> the team and <strong>org</strong>anized the sales ef<strong>for</strong>t. He and<br />

Dick did all the selling of the yellow page ads.<br />

Mary Jean Thomas - Mary Jean joined our happy little band and she worked on the<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mational pages and with PLA, obtaining the map that has been included.<br />

Elizabeth Van Zonneveld - Elizabeth should not be a stranger to any of you. She has<br />

been and is a tireless worker <strong>for</strong> this community, serving on the boards of the LMC and<br />

<strong>PLVC</strong> and other <strong>org</strong>anizations. Elizabeth ran the books, sent the invoices and collected<br />

the money.<br />

Also, I would like to recognize Ralph Stroy and Lois Ruggles who contributed earlier in<br />

the project.<br />

These folks all represent a great asset of our community with their volunteer work and it<br />

has been my pleasure to have worked with them.<br />

community’s growing together were reviewed. Ideas <strong>for</strong> accelerating the growth to one Village were<br />

introduced.<br />

PSE General Meeting visit (4/5/07) and recent power outages: Most board members believe there <strong>wa</strong>s<br />

disconnect between what PSE claimed at the General Meeting and what Port Ludlow experienced April<br />

12 and 13. After considerable discussion it <strong>wa</strong>s recommended that the <strong>PLVC</strong> submit a letter to the Public<br />

Utility Commission with CC to PSE describing Port Ludlow’s concerns and asking <strong>for</strong> more reliable<br />

service.<br />

Port Ludlow Medical Facility: Larry Nobles and three other board members visited with volunteer Port<br />

Ludlow community members who have had health care careers and Jefferson Health Care<br />

representatives to discuss the possibilities of opening a health care unit in Port Ludlow. Jefferson County<br />

Health Care will be researching various possibilities <strong>for</strong> providing this service. Their analysis should be<br />

available in June or soon thereafter.<br />

Promoting the Port Ludlow community: Debate centered around the role of the <strong>PLVC</strong> in developing<br />

proposals <strong>for</strong> completing the communities build-out.<br />

Allan Panasuk, Frank Siler.<br />

L. Nobles called the meeting to order at 3:05 and ensured that there <strong>wa</strong>s a quorum. Approximately 30<br />

persons were in attendance.<br />

Guest speakers:<br />

Olympic Property Group – President Jon Rose spoke of on-going projects ion their 120,000 acres in<br />

Western Washington, some 45,000 of which are in Jefferson County, with 25,000 acres here in the Port<br />

Ludlow area. He <strong>wa</strong>s part of the team when Mike Derrig helped complete the final build out plan.<br />

Three areas are of interest to OPG at this time: Tala Point’s 250 acres will eventually be re-zoned <strong>for</strong> 50-<br />

55 homes on lots that range from one-half to one acre. It will be high-end cluster real estate<br />

development with views of the Cascades and the Olympics. They will have their own <strong>wa</strong>ter rights,<br />

community drain field and 65% of the property will left as open space. There is a possibility of extending<br />

the current trails system up onto the ridge.<br />

The 2 nd area of interest to OPG: The Highlands – 200 acres off Oak Bay Road near Phillips Road. It took<br />

over a year to buy out the owner of an adjacent closed gas station. They will drill their own well and do<br />

their own septic system and utilities.<br />

The 3 rd area is in Port Gamble where they wish to restore some of its logging history and revive it as a<br />

vital commercial, hospitality and festival center that will reflect the original 600 residents of the oncethriving<br />

community. The Master <strong>Pl</strong>an is three to five years a<strong>wa</strong>y, with plans <strong>for</strong> residential and possible<br />

A detailed overview by every member of the team <strong>wa</strong>s given relating to the past winter’s outages and<br />

describing what is being done to update the system to provide and ensure continued quality service to<br />

this area. Discussion ensued re substations to be built, increased capacity, aggressive tree trimming<br />

where allowed, replacing old inadequate trans<strong>for</strong>mers, and adding infrastructure to ensure increased<br />

reliability and improve emergency situation response. Input from residents re “danger trees” (i.e. trees<br />

about to fall on power lines) will be invaluable, and a contact name and number will be printed in next<br />

month’s The Voice.<br />

Prior meeting minutes:<br />

MSP to approve the minutes of the March <strong>2007</strong> General Meeting as corrected.<br />

Corrections: Under New Business: Consideration of the Hearing Examiner's report on the Resort Core<br />

<strong>wa</strong>s brought up. MSP to postpone any action relating to that report indefinitely or until a legal opinion is<br />

rendered in response to the threat of litigation against the <strong>PLVC</strong><br />

Treasurer: Gene Carmody volunteered to replace Lani McCarry as treasurer.<br />

Communications Committee: Jack McKay <strong>wa</strong>s introduced as the Communications Committee Chair. Jack<br />

many of the volunteers would be acting in an advisory capacity with 4-5 of the committee members<br />

serving as the hard core developers of the activities needed to complete the committee’s mission. The<br />

committee will be questioning the community’s “key communicators” by asking them to visualize the<br />

needs of the community and community wide issues not being adequately addressed. Also discusses<br />

<strong>wa</strong>s the <strong>PLVC</strong>’s lack of a community wide image. A number of possibilities were offered <strong>for</strong> obtaining<br />

added exposure in the community by developing an educational program to build public a<strong>wa</strong>reness of<br />

the <strong>PLVC</strong> mission and activities (eg, Trails Committee, Phonebook Committee, Friday Market Committee,<br />

Funfest Committee, <strong>org</strong>anized public seminars, etc.).<br />

Port Ludlow Medical Facility: Larry Nobles described his in<strong>for</strong>mal discussion of the possibility of<br />

Jefferson Health Care or some other provider opening an office in Port Ludlow. Specifics as to the<br />

location, staffing, hours of operation, etc. were not discussed but only the concept and possible interest<br />

in some provider opening a PL office. A group of 10-12 individuals living in PL with health experience<br />

participated in the discussion and supported the concept. Larry also talked with a few county<br />

administrators who reacted favorably.<br />

Economic Development: A question <strong>wa</strong>s asked about the Boards intent to respond to an inquiry at<br />

February’s General Meeting in regard to the economic impact of Trendwest’s decision to withdraw from<br />

negotiations to open a facility in Port Ludlow. Mike Derrig’s 2005 economic analysis will be introduced at<br />

the next meeting and placed in the minutes open to the public.<br />

MARCH 1, <strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> GENERAL MEETING<br />

<strong>Minutes</strong><br />

The meeting <strong>wa</strong>s convened at 3:00 p.m. Present: Bill Browne, Gene Carmody, Don Clarke, Tony Durham,<br />

Suzanne Graber, Mea Graham, Lani McCarry, Tom McCay, Larry Nobles, and Terry O’Brien.<br />

(Absent: Adele Govert, Allan Panasuk, Frank Siler).<br />

L. Nobles called the meeting to order at 3:05 and ensured that there <strong>wa</strong>s a quorum. Approximately 30<br />

persons were in attendance.<br />

Comment/questions from the floor: none<br />

Prior meeting minutes:<br />

MSP to postpone approval of the minutes of the February 1 st , <strong>2007</strong> General Meeting until the legal<br />

effect of the draft minutes has been determined as per legal advice. (6 ayes, 1 nay)<br />

S. Graber referred to Roberts’ Rules of Order 10 th Edition in dealing with minutes and reports citing the<br />

following:<br />

p.457 ”A draft of the minutes of the preceding meeting can be sent to all members in advance, usually<br />

with the notice. In such a case, it is presumed that the members have used this opportunity to review<br />

them, and they are not read unless this is requested. Correction of them and approval, however, is<br />

handled in the usual <strong>wa</strong>y. It must be understood in such a case that the <strong>for</strong>mal copy placed in the<br />

minute book contains all corrections that were made and that none of the any copies circulated to<br />

members and marked by them is authoritative.”<br />

p.344 “The practice of sending to all members advance copies of the minutes as drafted by the secretary<br />

has both advantages and disadvantages. It is natural <strong>for</strong> the members to prefer to study the minutes<br />

be<strong>for</strong>ehand to be better prepared to offer corrections; and this procedure generally saves time when<br />

the minutes come up <strong>for</strong> approval. On the other hand, the minutes do not becomes the minutes and<br />

assume their essential status as the official record of the proceedings of the society until they have been<br />

approved; and be<strong>for</strong>e this happens, the secretary’s draft may be materially modified in the correction<br />

process…Only the secretary’s corrected copy or the retyping of it is official in such a case.”<br />

L. Nobles suggested this be placed on the agenda <strong>for</strong> the next workshop or be deferred to Old Business<br />

later in this meeting.<br />

Community Reports:<br />

Port Ludlow Chamber of Commerce – Dr. Jerry Brady, President –since the Chamber <strong>wa</strong>s not able to<br />

L. Nobles stated how pleased he <strong>wa</strong>s to be allowed to participate in the interview process <strong>for</strong> the job of<br />

lead planner. He mentioned that with regards to the light situation that there are outlets at the base of<br />

the light standards which could possibly allow <strong>for</strong> Christmas decorations, and inquired if there could be a<br />

possible retro-fit to the poles <strong>for</strong> banners and flowers. A big thank you to the Public Works, the Chamber<br />

response to the threat of litigation against the <strong>PLVC</strong>.<br />

Comments from the floor:<br />

business of the board and note the decisions made. The minutes should reflect where the <strong>PLVC</strong> stands<br />

on issues.<br />

legal advice and he has decided today to move <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rd on that topic.<br />

The purpose of the meeting <strong>wa</strong>s to review and comment upon the report of Hearing Examiner Irving<br />

Berteig regarding the Port Ludlow Build-Out and Marina Expansion Project.<br />

The Committee reviewed each page from page 1 through page 43 in line by line detail. There <strong>wa</strong>s<br />

considerable discussion and a number of questions. Jim Brannaman questioned the adequacy of<br />

parking, but <strong>wa</strong>s subsequently satisfied that proper allo<strong>wa</strong>nces are being made.<br />

It <strong>wa</strong>s pointed out that an omission exists on page 5 item 6 and page 31 subhead (e) in which Heron<br />

Road and Widgeon are not included in the statement. This omission has been brought to the attention<br />

of the Developer and to the Jeffco Department of Community Development.<br />

The discussion lasted <strong>for</strong> almost 2-1/2 hours as each section <strong>wa</strong>s analyzed thoroughly.<br />

After the report had been completely reviewed the Chair asked <strong>for</strong> a recommendation to be made to<br />

committee. This <strong>wa</strong>s an extension of a committee report given earlier summarizing the committee<br />

activities through 2005. During the past two years the committee members visited two utility districts to<br />

better understand their operations. At this point the committee suggests that if there is a transfer of<br />

owners of <strong>wa</strong>ter and sewer district that we support the transfer to Jefferson County PUD or a special<br />

purpose district and not the sale to another utility company. The rational <strong>for</strong> this recommendation <strong>wa</strong>s<br />

discussed. Council members asked the committee members to prepare a proposal <strong>for</strong> the next stage of<br />

their endeavors. The committee members and anyone else have an opportunity <strong>for</strong> a tour of Port<br />

Communications Committee: Larry Nobles reported that Jack McKay had accepted the appointment as<br />

chair of the committee. Jack will be submitting a list of recommended committee members at the next<br />

General meeting (March 1).<br />

Community Development Committee: Tom McCay reported that the committee had reviewed the<br />

examiners Port Ludlow Build-Out and Marina Expansion Project with a favorable evaluation. They will be<br />

suggesting that the <strong>PLVC</strong> go on record as concurring with their recommendation. One board member<br />

asked if it is appropriate <strong>for</strong> the <strong>PLVC</strong> to be <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rding this type of recommendations as a majority of<br />

the community may not agree with it. Terry O’Brien said that the LMC is preparing to file a Motion <strong>for</strong><br />

Reconsideration. Some board members and some of the guests expressed confusion in regard to the<br />

<strong>PLVC</strong> mission and whether it included this type of activity.<br />

<strong>PLVC</strong> web site) and <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rd any suggestions to him be<strong>for</strong>e the General Meeting scheduled <strong>for</strong> March 1.<br />

FEBRUARY 1, <strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> GENERAL MEETING<br />

<strong>Minutes</strong><br />

The meeting <strong>wa</strong>s convened at 3:00 p.m. Present: Bill Browne, Don Clarke, Tony Durham, Adele Govert,<br />

Suzanne Graber, Mea Graham, Lani McCarry, Tom McCay, Larry Nobles, and Frank Siler. Mea Graham,<br />

recording secretary <strong>wa</strong>s present. (Absent: Terry O’Brien, Allan Panasuk).<br />

Larry Nobles called the meeting to order at 3:05 and ensured that there <strong>wa</strong>s a quorum. Approximately<br />

35 persons were in attendance. He indicated there <strong>wa</strong>s a sign up list <strong>for</strong> those wishing to comment. He<br />

briefly announced the Wyndham Vacation Properties decision not to pursue the log-dump site and gave<br />

a brief background on the Trendwest business which <strong>wa</strong>s combined with Cendant Corporation’s hotel<br />

operations to <strong>for</strong>m Wyndham Vacation Properties.<br />

Comment/questions from the floor:<br />

Tom Stone requested that future <strong>PLVC</strong> agendas be put out three days in advance, and also be posted on<br />

the <strong>PLVC</strong> website so that attendees might be a<strong>wa</strong>re of topics, special speakers, etc.<br />

T. Stone read a statement prepared by Ron Dawson re the opponents to the Wyndham (Trendwest)<br />

application.<br />

Kevin Ryan supported comments made by Dawson. (See Attachment 1)<br />

Karen Best, resident and realtor, stated that change and progress has occurred in Port Ludlow in the 15<br />

years she has been here. While admitting that change is sometimes difficult, she felt the Windham<br />

(Trendwest) proposal would have helped make local businesses more viable, would have employed<br />

residents, and that without Trendwest, potential clients are discouraged when they see a lack of infrastructure.<br />

The small businesses in the area are struggling and Trendwest might have helped them<br />

significantly.<br />

Larry Elton echoed all the above statements stating that he can understand why Wyndham (Trendwest)<br />

withdrew. His fear is that Port Ludlow will become a bedroom community, not a retirement community<br />

where people have to leave town to spend money. He is annoyed by the fact that every proposal has<br />

been blocked by a small group of individuals and would like to see the other Port Ludlow residents join<br />

together cooperatively in support of measures that would advance the growth of Port Ludlow.<br />

Suzanne Graber asked that residents send their suggestions to the <strong>PLVC</strong> website to enable <strong>PLVC</strong> to act<br />

on issues that represent Port Ludlow residents.<br />

Don Clark, understanding that Wyndham (Trendwest) had spent a lot of time and money on the<br />

acquisition, asked if they are completely done or if they could be persuaded to re-consider.<br />

L. Nobles stated that based on his discussion with some sources that is possible. He then moved the<br />

remaining discussion and comments to the New Business section of today’s agenda.<br />

Prior meeting minutes:<br />

MSP to accept the minutes of the January 11, <strong>2007</strong> General Meeting. (All ayes)<br />

Speakers:<br />

Jefferson County Public Works engineer, Monty Reiners, gave a Paradise Bay Road update. The county<br />

made allo<strong>wa</strong>nces <strong>for</strong> the Wyndham (Trendwest) project with an opening on the left <strong>for</strong> a road in, and<br />

the cross<strong>wa</strong>lks based on the expectation that there would be many pedestrians from the property. He<br />

left the schematic and the artist’s rendition of the project, including the design of the proposed<br />

decorative light standards yet to be installed. This installation will go to bid in mid-March with estimated<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 81 of 93


date of completion to be June at a cost of approximately $90,000. He when asked if guard rails might be<br />

installed near the Qwest office; he agreed to look into the matter. Larry Scott asked when there would<br />

be a cleanup of the silt near the Village square. S Darrow asked why there were surveyors near the Bay<br />

Club recently and <strong>wa</strong>s told that where the Ludlow Creek goes under the road there may be some guard<br />

rail installed.<br />

Barclay Hampton inquired as to the objectives of the Paradise Bay Road project. Answer given: to widen<br />

the shoulders, to overlay poor and damaged asphalt, that medians were put in in anticipation of the<br />

Wyndham (Trendwest) project moving <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rd and hence be more pedestrian friendly, and finally the<br />

transit company requested a bus pullout in place.<br />

Community Reports:<br />

John Fischbach, Jefferson County Administrator, reviewed the following items:<br />

1. It will be on the Board of Commissioners’ next agenda to advertise <strong>for</strong> bids <strong>for</strong> the lampposts.<br />

February 26 is the date set <strong>for</strong> opening the bids.<br />

2. Both the work sessions (Feb 8 th ) and the Public Hearing (Feb 22) on the Wyndham (Trendwest) matter<br />

have been cancelled. He stated that although in his capacity with Jefferson County he has been neutral,<br />

he objects strenuously to the attacks by B.Loomis and L.Powers claiming he had violated the Open<br />

Meeting Act. It is his opinion that the County Board of Commissioners has been trying to do outreach to<br />

Port Ludlow residents and that all the correct procedures have been followed. He stated that he has<br />

been <strong>for</strong>thcoming with any and all in<strong>for</strong>mation at his disposal. He reminded all present that in order to<br />

submit his article to The Voice in a timely fashion, he had written as if the meeting had taken place, but<br />

said nothing about the results of the meeting. He apologized to all Port Ludlow <strong>for</strong> saying that a meeting<br />

would be held on Feb 28 when in fact it will not.<br />

3. Board of Commissioners Public Hearing on the Holland Amendment will be held on Feb 12 at 10:45<br />

a.m. in the Jefferson County Courthouse Chambers. Public testimony will be received. The <strong>Pl</strong>anning<br />

Committee’s recommended denial <strong>wa</strong>s on a split vote.<br />

4. The resort plan decision from the Irv Berteig Hearing in January is expected in mid-February.<br />

S.Graber thanked Mr. Fischbach stating that the majority of Port Ludlow appreciates all his outreach<br />

ef<strong>for</strong>ts and his presence at the <strong>PLVC</strong> meetings.<br />

Barbara Nightingale, Port Ludlow Lead <strong>Pl</strong>anner <strong>for</strong> Jefferson County Department of Community<br />

Development, indicated that her replacement should be on board by the end of February. She still<br />

welcomes any Port Ludlow questions as she transitions into the Long Range <strong>Pl</strong>anning side of County<br />

management.<br />

Diana Smeland, PLA President, mentioned what is next in the process of PLA’s projects moving <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rd.<br />

In Olympic Terrace II they hope to put in 80 homes with ground breaking March 1st, on the first 15 lots<br />

and models ready to open in August. Other areas yet to be developed are”<br />

Ironwood – 60 sites zoned <strong>for</strong> single and multi-family homes<br />

Timberton/Creekside – possible 103 sites<br />

Falls Terrace – possible 60 sites or zoned commercial<br />

Ludlow Cove II tract D- possible 60 single-family dwelling sites<br />

Bay Hollow (platted in ’92, off Ludlow Bay) – possible 120 sites.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 82 of 93


She stressed that PLA is in the home building business and the amenities that exist are subsidized by the<br />

real estate. Hopefully at build out there will enough people to support the businesses in the community.<br />

When asked by Gene Carmody if it were possible <strong>for</strong> Wyndham (Trendwest) to re-consider, she replied<br />

that their legal costs over the past two and one-half years with all these appeals has left them no option<br />

but to go to a community that would welcome their business and would accommodate them better.<br />

Arlene Obtinario, Fire District #3 - Administrative Chief, gave the following in<strong>for</strong>mation:<br />

PLF & R Fire Fighter/Paramedic Bill Jerrell provided a very in<strong>for</strong>mative FALLS Prevention presentation Jan<br />

Insurance Task Force - Fran Wikeham – a meeting has been held with Homer Smith to discuss the Safeco<br />

General liability and CNA Directors & Officers Liability policies owned by the <strong>PLVC</strong> and other related<br />

issues. It is his understanding that the present coverage is adequate, but additional coverage must be<br />

obtained <strong>for</strong> Friday Market and Funfest activities. He will in<strong>for</strong>m Safeco that written releases will be<br />

obtained from all volunteer workers on trails. D.Clark <strong>wa</strong>s assured that this <strong>wa</strong>s sufficient to cover<br />

threats of suits. (See Attachment 3)<br />

this committee will rest until the Ludlow Bay Village proposal is heard.<br />

Finance – John Cragoe presented actuals versus budgeted income and expenses <strong>for</strong> the recent quarter<br />

and the fiscal year. He noted that thanks to Elizabeth Van Zonneveld, donations to support the council<br />

provided a large part of last year’s net income. Coming in earlier than anticipated, the yellow page ads in<br />

the phone directory were a good source of income <strong>for</strong> this year.<br />

Old business:<br />

<strong>PLVC</strong> Communications Committee Mission Statement <strong>wa</strong>s presented. (See Attachment 5)<br />

Three aspects to this:<br />

1. Develop a communication system with residents, merchants and businesses, local government and<br />

additional groups such as the developer.<br />

2. Use the communication system on a continuing basis to improve in<strong>for</strong>mation dissemination, to<br />

identify problems and to develop plans <strong>for</strong> a <strong>PLVC</strong> response.<br />

3. To keep the <strong>PLVC</strong> fully in<strong>for</strong>med of activities and concerns in Port Ludlow – its function to be<br />

supportive and in<strong>for</strong>mative.<br />

After some discussion, it <strong>wa</strong>s decided that the developer should certainly be part of the mission<br />

statement, that the Mission statement presented should be considered a guideline <strong>for</strong> the committee<br />

yet to be established and ask that a chair be appointed by the next workshop meeting.<br />

MSP that <strong>PLVC</strong> reinstate the developer as one of the identified groups as part of the Mission<br />

Statement. (8 ayes, 2 nays)<br />

MSP that the name be changed from Mission Statement to Guidelines <strong>for</strong> the Communications<br />

Committee. (All ayes)<br />

President Nobles will appoint a Communications Committee Chair by the next workshop meeting and<br />

request that the full committee is presented <strong>for</strong> ratification at the next General Meeting.<br />

New Business:<br />

<strong>2007</strong> <strong>PLVC</strong> Minute <strong>Book</strong> Page 84 of 93


T. Stone suggested that the impact of the Wyndham (Trendwest) withdra<strong>wa</strong>l should be looked at by the<br />

<strong>PLVC</strong> vis a vis - what sales have not occurred, are our taxes going to rise since there is no business base<br />

to support. D. Smeland will <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rd a document outlining the economic impact of the Wyndham<br />

(Trendwest) facility to the general Port Ludlow area. G. McCarry suggested a serious jolt is need to have<br />

a proper relationship with a developer and that <strong>PLVC</strong> employ a methodology to provide a good<br />

economic base with the developer in order to permit the developer to have the capital necessary to<br />

improve the amenities. L.Scott inquired that without a transient population, do we lose the Resort<br />

designation. J. Fischbach, when asked, suggested that economic growth in Port Ludlow is currently at a<br />

standstill now that Trendwest has opted out.<br />

A council member suggested a workshop topic focused on <strong>for</strong>ming a citizen’s movement to make<br />

inquiries into a possible class action in regard to the continuing threats of litigation.<br />

Discussion ensued covering topics such as what would the community have to do to appeal to Wyndham<br />

to reconsider the Trendwest issue since the constant appeals and ever-increasing legal costs have made<br />

it not a viable purchase <strong>for</strong> them.<br />

B.Hampton urged the <strong>PLVC</strong> to become proactive, not reactive, and encouraged the council to indicate<br />

what it visualizes Port Ludlow to be in the future, and then let the community respond back.<br />

T. Stone <strong>wa</strong>s appointed to <strong>for</strong>m an ad hoc working group <strong>for</strong> a plan on what <strong>PLVC</strong> could do, and prepare<br />

to send it out <strong>for</strong> community response. He would then recommend to <strong>PLVC</strong> what plan of action to take<br />

re Wyndham (Trendwest) withdra<strong>wa</strong>l.<br />

The President <strong>wa</strong>s encouraged to appoint an ad hoc working group to recommend what action(s) the<br />

Council should take as a result of the Wyndham (Trendwest) withdra<strong>wa</strong>l.<br />

Attachment 1: Ron Dawson’s Trendwest statement<br />

BRIEF COMMENTS FROM RON DAWSON 202 GREENVIEW LANE, PORT LUDLOW<br />

I AM SORRY I AM NOT ABLE TO BE IN YOUR MEETING. I AM IN AN ARTS COUNCIL BOARD MEETING<br />

DOWN THE HALL.<br />

WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS OF TRENDWEST WITHDRAWING THEIR OFFER, I WAS HUGELY DISAPPOINTED.<br />

OUR COMMUNITY SEEMS TO BE LOCKED IN STATIC RETROGRESSION. NOTHING HAPPENS, AND WE FALL<br />

FARTHER BEHIND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS AS AN ATTRACTIVE AND DESIRABLE COMMUNITY IN WHICH<br />

TO LIVE. OUR PROPERTY VALUES ARE NOT OPTIMIZED, AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE, REFERRING TO THE<br />

GOLF CLUBHOUSE, AND THE EXPANSION AND IMPROVEMENT OF OUR RETAIL CENTER, ISN’T IMPROVED<br />

FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPACTED IF TRENDWEST WERE STILL AT THE TABLE<br />

WITH THE DEVELOPER, AND THIS PROJECT WERE APPROVED. I BEGIN TO WONDER IF I WILL SEE ANY<br />

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN MY LIFETIME.<br />

THE OPPONENTS TO THE TRENDWEST PROJECT ARE SOME OF THE SAME PEOPLE WHO OBJECT TO<br />

ALMOST EVERYTHING PLA WANTS TO DO. THEY SEEM TO WANT THE DEVELOPER TO FAIL. WHAT ARE<br />

THEIR MOTIVES ? WHAT ARE THEIR REASONS TO CONTINUALLY TRY TO CREATE ROADBLOCKS ? IT GETS<br />

TIRING TO THOSE OF US WHO CARE ABOUT GETTING THINGS DONE THAT WOULD BENEFIT OUR<br />

RESIDENTS.<br />

AS A COMMUNITY, WE HAVE TO BRING THIS TO A HALT, AND WORK FOR THE INTERESTS OF THE<br />

MAJORITY OF OUR RESIDENTS.<br />

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING MY INPUT.<br />

Attachment 3: Insurance Task Force Report<br />

<strong>PLVC</strong> Liability Insurance Review<br />

Larry Nobles and I met with Homer Smith on Wednesday, January 31, <strong>2007</strong> to discuss the Safeco<br />

General Liability and CNA Directors & Officers liability policies owned by the <strong>PLVC</strong> and related issues.<br />

1. Homer will advise Safeco of the activities of the Trails Committee and the fact that all volunteers<br />

have executed signed release <strong>for</strong>ms be<strong>for</strong>e engaging in any trail maintenance ef<strong>for</strong>ts. He does<br />

not anticipate any adverse reaction or rate increase by Safeco.<br />

2. The Safeco policy description of ‘defined territory’ is not limited to 120 Spinnaker <strong>Pl</strong>ace (Bay<br />

Club), but rather coverage is provide <strong>PLVC</strong> members and volunteers regardless of location.<br />

3. The Liability insurance coverage provided under the CNA policy is basically <strong>for</strong> legal assistance<br />

should a suit be brought against a <strong>PLVC</strong> Board Member since the <strong>PLVC</strong> and its officers do not<br />

own property or exercise any authority over property or the rights of any non-voluntary<br />

members. Homer’s opinion is that the current $1 million coverage limit is adequate, but would<br />

be happy to consider processing an increase, if desired.<br />

4. The <strong>PLVC</strong> must obtain other additional coverage <strong>for</strong> the ‘Friday Market’ and ‘Funfest’ activities.<br />

Homer <strong>wa</strong>s adamant that Safeco <strong>wa</strong>s not providing coverage <strong>for</strong> these sponsored activities and<br />

that coverage <strong>wa</strong>s not contemplated under the Safeco policy. He suggested that the Friday<br />

Market and Funfest Craft activities might be covered through the Farmers Market Association<br />

and that the <strong>PLVC</strong> should consider contracting out food and beverage dispensation to licensed<br />

and insured vendors.<br />

I called Nancy Cannan’s office after our meeting and learned that her <strong>org</strong>anization, the Community<br />

Association Underwriters of America, provides liability insurance coverage only to Home Owners<br />

Associations and would not be able to insure the activities, officers and members of the <strong>PLVC</strong>.<br />

Attachment 5: Communications Committee Guidelines<br />

<strong>PLVC</strong> Communications Committee<br />

Mission Guidelines<br />

The role of the Communications Committee of the <strong>PLVC</strong> is :-<br />

1. To develop, and refine as needed, two-<strong>wa</strong>y communications methods/systems between the <strong>PLVC</strong> and<br />

residents, community groups, developer, merchant/commercial groups, local government and other<br />

cohesive groups within or affecting the Port Ludlow community.<br />

2. To employ those communications systems with each group on a continuing basis so as to provide an<br />

open exchange of views and in<strong>for</strong>mation based on mutual respect and trust. Where and when<br />

appropriate use the same communications systems with each group to identify perceived opportunities<br />

to better serve the Port Ludlow community or to articulate problems/concerns within the group, where<br />

action by the <strong>PLVC</strong> has the potential to implement or encourage positive change or to resolve or<br />

mitigate a problem or concern. A priority shall be to identify steps or actions that enhance relations<br />

JANUARY 16, <strong>2007</strong> WORKSHOP MEETING<br />

<strong>Minutes</strong><br />

The meeting <strong>wa</strong>s convened at 3 p.m. at the bay Club. Present were Larry Nobles, Tony Durham, Don<br />

Clark, Tom McCay, Frank Siler, Bill Browne, Terry O’Brien, Adele Govert, Suzanne Graber, Gene Carmody<br />

and Lani McCarry. (Absent: Allen Panasuk).<br />

Items discussed included:<br />

Selection of Funfest Chair: Dick and Marily Durand, 2006 Funfest Co-Chairs, declined an invitation to<br />

continue in that position <strong>for</strong> the <strong>2007</strong> event. They have indicated that they will support a new<br />

appointment to the position and feel that they have a number of suggestions to make the Funfest even<br />

better, both in quality and cost. Thus, the board is seeking a volunteer to assume leadership in preparing<br />

<strong>for</strong> and delivering this year’s version of Funfest. The Board and residents are asked to <strong>for</strong><strong>wa</strong>rd candidate<br />

names to Larry Nobles as soon as possible.<br />

<strong>PLVC</strong> Forums: To date the <strong>for</strong>ums have been held both as part of the regular monthly board meeting<br />

and independently as an evening meeting. A suggestion <strong>wa</strong>s made to attempt to move all <strong>for</strong>ums to the<br />

evening <strong>for</strong> two reasons; 1) to accommodate added members who have day-time jobs, and 2) to provide<br />

added time to conduct the business activities relegated to the regular monthly meeting. A topic<br />

considered <strong>for</strong> a future <strong>for</strong>um is to invite Randy Verrue to speak on the topic of PLA’s business interests<br />

in Port Ludlow, and provide future plans <strong>for</strong> the golf course, marina, hotel and other commercial<br />

interests.<br />

<strong>PLVC</strong> Policy and Procedures: All board members should review the <strong>PLVC</strong> Policies and Procedures that<br />

have been placed on the <strong>PLVC</strong> web site. There are a number of obsolete items in the current draft.<br />

Ex officio board members: Discussion arose concerning the possible appointment of ex officio board<br />

members representing the developer and Chamber of Commerce/Commerce as non-voting members.<br />

There is an interest in having their <strong>for</strong>mal liaison with the Council.<br />

<strong>Pl</strong>anning Process: Tony Durham <strong>wa</strong>s invited to continue the Board’s discussion of the proposed planning<br />

process and make recommendations <strong>for</strong> follow-up. Tony recommended the following steps to getting<br />

under<strong>wa</strong>y:<br />

1. Reestablish and reinvigorate the Communication Committee.<br />

2. Name the chair and members – the chair will be consulted in regard to proposed membership<br />

3. The committee’s charge will be to propose the mechanics of developing a program <strong>for</strong> two <strong>wa</strong>y<br />

communications between the <strong>PLVC</strong> and local interest groups including the residents, the developer,<br />

Chamber/Commerce groups, and local government.<br />

4. Identify issues that concern one or more of the interest groups with regard to the wellbeing of Port<br />

Ludlow. Suggest mechanisms <strong>for</strong> insuring that the <strong>PLVC</strong> has a consensus of the parties and avoids<br />

responding to the loudest voice(s).<br />

A goal <strong>for</strong> the communications program is to bring people together, build respect <strong>for</strong> differing opinions,<br />

and develop programs that benefit the entire community. For instance, the development of a satellite<br />

health care office in Port Ludlow <strong>wa</strong>s cited as a desirable community benefit. How might we<br />

demonstrate our need and develop interest in such an installation?<br />

It <strong>wa</strong>s suggested that the Board invite the LMC and SBCA officers to a social gathering <strong>for</strong> the simple<br />

purpose of gaining a broader understanding of the Port Ludlow community.<br />

The Board completed the meeting with two assignments;<br />

1. All board members were asked to submit names of possible candidates <strong>for</strong> chairing the<br />

Communications Committee or potential members of the committee<br />

2. All board members were asked to work on a mission statement <strong>for</strong> the Communications’ Committee.<br />

Drafts should be circulated be<strong>for</strong>e the February Regular Meeting (2/3/07). Board members should<br />

submit and/or circulate these documents as quickly as possible to provide adequate time to create a<br />

reasonable mission statement.<br />

Meeting ended 5:15 p.m.<br />

There were no motions made and no votes taken.<br />

Respectfully,<br />

Bill Browne<br />

<strong>PLVC</strong> Secretary (01/017/07)<br />
