Background and proposal: The county’s PFAP ordinance currently directs 25% of PFAP revenues to the town of Friday Harbor; the remainder is distributed by the PFAP committee through a competitive process. The EDC’s request, explained by EDC staff and county administrative staff, would create a standing allocation for the county’s EDC equal to a percentage of the annual PFAP fund. County staff presented a draft amendment that would allocate 27% of the remaining annual PFAP revenues to the EDC to finance personnel costs (a trades coordinator and a portion of the executive director’s salary) while the balance of funds would remain available to the competitive process managed by the PFAP committee.

Why it matters: An allocation would provide recurring, predictable funding for an economic‑development organization that performs workforce training, business support and cross‑border economic coordination. Council members and staff noted trade‑offs: an automatic allocation reduces the available competitive pot for other capital projects but helps stabilize a program the council has supported in the past.

Financial context and council questions: County staff showed recent PFAP totals and the effect of a 27% allocation (presented as 27% of the remaining pot after the Friday Harbor 25% carve‑out). Using the 2025 pot shown at the meeting, staff estimated the EDC allocation would be approximately $169,915 under the proposed language, leaving roughly $459,400 for competitive grants in the example year. Council members asked why the percentage was 27% and whether other counties use similar set‑aside allocations; staff said the percentage came from the EDC’s estimate of stable needs and that the PFAP committee had not objected to bringing the proposal forward. The council requested further information, including ordinance wording clarifications and comparisons to other counties’ approaches, and asked staff to return with a second‑touch draft that clarifies whether the percentage applies to the total PFAP pot or to the balance after the Friday Harbor carve‑out.

Council direction and next steps: Council members asked staff to refine the draft ordinance language to make the percentage’s math explicit and to provide the EDC’s recent annual reports that document deliverables. Staff confirmed the county prosecutor’s office has been consulted and follow‑up on several technical questions will be provided before a second reading.

Ending: The item was a first‑read discussion; no council action was taken. Council members thanked EDC staff for attending and asked staff to return with clarified ordinance language, sample reporting deliverables and any comparative county practices.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","County Council Work Session Meeting - April 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","EDC staff and county administrative staff briefed the council on April 14 about a proposed PFAP ordinance amendment that would allocate a fixed share of the county’s PFAP revenues to the Economic Development Council to fund core staff and trades training.","taxTitle","San Juan County, Washington","taxId",72708,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6064865,"Volunteer spill group IOSA details 40 years of local response, seeks sustained funding and training support",637,5682000,6319000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3222022-25369eb3f63d171f72ff1657ff7f19a2&start=5682&end=6319","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3222022-25369eb3f63d171f72ff1657ff7f19a2/thumbnail_5682000.jpg","/articles/6064865/San-Juan-County/Washington/Volunteer-spill-group-IOSA-details-40-years-of-local-response-seeks-sustained-funding-and-training-support","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6064865-693773facaa9c720dcec02bc1c0918a2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160848&Signature=ZOwSz1gNqUno2TvsGeWrt-jGKGZgrthO5QaHNcETvvzuU416Ha0b0NApEN3x0m~9kpO5fCgcbMJme~3ku63g69IRPjPXHnprCOVeVsjN-KTNldWVtInHQOo0vgE1TEpdGCshLs4louZ8n~X0-qKrCU4LjKh6oyCqFSte1I2D1wmFI1Wcx91fFdXQwEmne9zsZfcsjFzGuDtaYoD7FrPx~oqcj1Z5UfpD6kG4O~b42~NDMAn2j2dwMFgfArSSDMuTK74GnL64T9EM58pbPK0VF~kWPmMRycaz8iEddr8J8JeJ0Tjy8H9nldGYju1wTnwSOXqv~IS-Ss8SlXKBxPSLcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Elena Thompson, executive director of the Islands Oil Spill Association (IOSA), and operations manager Rick Winnings briefed the County Council on April 14 about IOSA’s volunteer‑based spill response activities, equipment, partnerships and funding.

Thompson said IOSA grew out of a local response effort after a 1985 spill and now operates with volunteers and a small paid staff supporting initial assessments and small‑to‑medium responses in San Juan County. She described the organization as a unique, community‑based responder that fills gaps when incidents are too small to trigger larger contracted responses but large enough to cause environmental harm if left unaddressed.

Volunteer capacity and training: Thompson said IOSA maintains a tier‑1 volunteer roster of more than 40 trained responders who receive regular training and hazard certifications. “These volunteers … are expected … to train with IOSA 4 times a year, they’re expected to get a 24 hour HAZWOPER certification, and they get equipment, go bags,” Thompson said. The organization has run monthly trainings (12 in 2023, 14 in 2024) and is organizing a two‑day joint drill in June that will include an indoor tabletop exercise and hands‑on deployments.

Equipment and readiness: IOSA’s operations manager described recent investments in equipment caches and trailers positioned around the islands and a recently donated work truck funded through a Department of Ecology grant administered by Emergency Management. Thompson said IOSA is storing two wildlife deterrent buoys (acquired with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife partnership) ready for deployment when wildlife protection is required.

Funding model and asks: Thompson presented IOSA’s mixed funding model—county support, state grants, industry funding and foundations—and said the organization recently converted from a 501(c)(4) to a 501(c)(3) to enable broader fundraising. She outlined operating‑cost categories (personnel, training, equipment maintenance) and said consistent local support makes planning easier. Thompson asked the council to continue support for IOSA’s operations and training program and to help foster cross‑border coordination with Canadian organizations and the Gulf Islands, a point council members encouraged.

Council discussion and next steps: Council members praised IOSA’s volunteer program and urged outreach to local schools and the Gulf Islands network. Members noted the value of IOSA’s local knowledge and readiness during both small incidents and in a larger incident where IOSA would play a logistics and local‑knowledge role. Thompson said she will follow up on cross‑border contacts and invited council members to visit IOSA’s Friday Harbor headquarters and training facilities.

Ending: The council thanked IOSA staff and volunteers for their service and encouraged continued coordination with the County’s Department of Emergency Management, ports and other local partners.","Islands Oil Spill Association (IOSA) staff and volunteers described local spill response work, equipment investments and a training/drill calendar that emphasizes monthly training and a joint regional drill in June; IOSA asked the council to continue support and highlighted cross‑border and volunteer recruitment efforts.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6064869,"Council briefed on ferry‑advisory committee reform language; lobbyist to coordinate with legislators",1223,1812000,3035000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3222022-25369eb3f63d171f72ff1657ff7f19a2&start=1812&end=3035","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3222022-25369eb3f63d171f72ff1657ff7f19a2/thumbnail_1812000.jpg","/articles/6064869/San-Juan-County/Washington/Council-briefed-on-ferryadvisory-committee-reform-language-lobbyist-to-coordinate-with-legislators","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6064869-80eef8d97bb3535f00a10e4c19855f9e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160848&Signature=fN3g6cNp4G4TKrdMiNOc4klhUQ2r8XQtB0GNkiUEFxt4983mJNSgH1l-N6bUPDLMwSQVyiphbyxpQcf8sAxPAt0Im~J1a5V4VjeR-R0CY8ncg9j6Q16AWpIL44Ks~Ew5ynPVlON5GGTzWIu6fghKSP~OnRNfHFegCnvnwNEqwG~SZVVJlZndpzSiFffdHckqLE-5po4nOQ8HKkKKqBrMey~KwRh5xfXBk5Rw6geXsMCH22cJS9Xhc3H6GFlzXANJqa-JJYuSDm11VX9o0paCu73z7x44Deou-lg6BuS7rsFVSLxFJgsftxJAsEHZtzPLL6DY2ABkFyS3856YrEbuIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Josh Weese, San Juan County’s contracted lobbyist, told the council on April 14 that this year’s Legislature is in its final weeks and that discussions over ferry advisory committee (FAC) reforms are active in the budget and transportation negotiations.

Weese said he drafted alternate language to the Senate transportation budget provision that would create a working group to review FAC structure and that he planned to coordinate the proposal with Representative Ramel and other legislators. “My plan at this point would be … to go back to Representative Ramel and have … see what his preference is … and basically coordinate with him on strategy for next steps,” Weese said.

Why it matters: The proposed Senate language would have changed the composition and role of FACs across Washington. Council members said they supported an alternative that preserves FAC members’ voices while creating a work group, but several members rejected a proposal to carve San Juan County out as a special case if that would leave the county isolated in negotiations.

Key changes in the draft language described by Weese included a requirement that the association must invite a Washington State Ferries representative and one existing FAC member to the working group, that final recommendations to the Legislature include a record of minority proposals (so minority viewpoints are forwarded), and that the work group include elected representatives from counties that host ferry terminals.

Council discussion: Council Member Fuller asked whether the county should send a separate letter opposing the Senate language. Weese advised that a separate letter was not essential if the county’s delegation and governor’s office had already received the broader coalition letter; he said a local letter “would be nice to do” but not mandatory. Council members also discussed the Mosquito Fleet Act bill and whether to continue lobbying for inclusion in the transportation budget; Weese said the bill’s prospects on the Senate side looked limited but that its language could be referenced in a conference budget at chair level.

Positioning and next steps: Council members told Weese to make clear that the county does not want to be a one‑off carve‑out that leaves San Juan County’s FACs without influence. With Representative Ramel’s input, Weese said he would pursue the house position and then engage the senate negotiators, noting the technical process by which conference budgets and concurrence on amendments are resolved in the last days of session.

Ending: Weese said he would continue to update the council as legislators acted; council members asked staff and the lobbyist to stay coordinated with representatives, with an eye to legislative deadlines in the coming two weeks.","County lobbyist Josh Weese reviewed draft substitute language to reform ferry advisory structures in Olympia, and council members asked him to coordinate with Representative Ramel and other legislators while reaffirming that San Juan County does not want a special‑status carve‑out for its existing ferry advisory committees.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6064874,"Council hears land‑capacity analysis for Eastsound; planners propose rezones and UGA expansions to meet affordable‑housing targets",1080,2960000,4040000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3222022-25369eb3f63d171f72ff1657ff7f19a2&start=2960&end=4040","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3222022-25369eb3f63d171f72ff1657ff7f19a2/thumbnail_2960000.jpg","/articles/6064874/San-Juan-County/Washington/Council-hears-landcapacity-analysis-for-Eastsound-planners-propose-rezones-and-UGA-expansions-to-meet-affordablehousing-targets","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6064874-5b913cfda8153f64045bf63492ae2f91/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160848&Signature=l6Vqm-KfrBcq5DWVDOh7n7iF9gYneujiovaPiDMY-VbwxnwqbUN68wXDgObIxegkf20YFg7Ci~VVxMOL6RH8XzVskuNsisBpiPk8M-ph7O-~QwhRP6xoOM6ciwKS8iRcXtBO5RJvHzNSeY2Qm4ORyyQUB22B1tQHcTHEHKQebH6m4Miz3YLc7SkdWThow4Td5iTtZ0j2SPfoUn1eSgL-QzcIpmJyM0H~9Ha6Yb2v51hZwM80~p6lxmlK95u6YbleOHxeRIixI99cU8Tfjn9Cf0r1Z7Xnhojz4wmJL89R4xD16YhrChChweqB4HGZ8OwPEPU-F7COd-kknp0mCZepMA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sofia Kesem, long‑range planner in San Juan County’s Department of Community Development, and consultant David Fisk (Leland Consulting Group) briefed the County Council on draft land‑use amendments and official‑map updates tied to the comprehensive plan update.

Fisk summarized a county land capacity analysis that, he said, shows an adequate capacity countywide but a deficit within the Eastsound urban growth area (UGA). “There was a deficit of unit capacity for the lower income bands, that 0 to 80% area median income,” Fisk said, identifying the deficit as 227 units.

Why it matters: The Growth Management Act (GMA) and state guidance require counties to identify enough land and zoning capacity to meet locally assigned housing targets. For San Juan County the consultants concluded Eastsound cannot meet the lower‑income target through existing zoning alone; the county will need a combination of higher densities and UGA expansion to comply with its assigned targets.

Proposals and numbers: Fisk and staff explored three potential UGA expansion areas plus a series of targeted upzones inside the UGA. Their analysis used density assumptions informed by adjacent neighborhoods and a property owner in the northeast parcel (an affordable‑housing owner that may support housing outcomes). The draft capacity estimates presented to council were:
- Northeast expansion area (Area A): estimated 107 units at 0–80% AMI using an assumed 6 units/acre density on sites with affordable‑housing potential.
- Southern upzone (adjacent to an ER‑412 zone): additional capacity estimated at 39 low‑income units.
- Village commercial density changes and selected parcel upzones (VC/VCL min density increases and specific parcels): an additional combined ~48 units (28 + 20 in separate proposals in the presentation).
- West/Blanchard Road expansion (Area C) and a contiguous parcel (Area B) were also assessed; Area B was estimated at ~40 units and Area C at ~44 units under the upzone assumptions.

Combined outcome: Fisk reported that combining the proposed upzones and one or more expansion areas would meet the 227‑unit shortfall; the set of all proposed changes produced roughly 278 units of capacity in the consultant’s model, a surplus of about 51 units above the target.

Constraints and follow up: Consultants and staff noted several constraints that will require further study before any map or code changes are adopted. Those include transportation access and seasonal flooding on some roads, utilities capacity checks (Sofia said she had spoken preliminarily with Eastsound Sewer & Water and OPALCO and planned further follow‑up), and environmental constraints. Department staff said preliminary contacts indicated no immediate utility prohibitions for the proposed expansion parcels but that full confirmation is pending. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife submitted a comment noting a possible great‑blue‑heron habitat mapped on one development parcel; Fisk said the habitat mapping is older and that further site study would be needed to determine development constraints.

Council direction and next steps: Council members asked detailed questions on infrastructure, the suitability of Lopez Village (consultants said Lopez would not help Eastsound’s targets because markets and geography operate separately), and timing. Council members generally supported further exploration of the northeast parcel (Area A) because of the owner's housing development potential, but also urged including Areas B and C to avoid putting “all eggs in one basket.” No formal map amendments were adopted at the meeting; staff and consultants left the council with recommended changes to carry forward for public review and planning‑commission hearings. Sofia Kesem said the planning timeline remains on track to finish edits and return revised drafts in May–June for further review.

Ending: David Fisk asked the council for direction on which map expansions and upzones to move forward for formal public hearings; council members signaled support for a package that includes the northeast parcel plus at least one other expansion or targeted upzone area, and asked staff to complete utilities and environmental follow‑up before the next formal docketing step.","Consultants and county planners presented a land‑capacity analysis showing a 227‑unit shortfall in Eastsound for households at 0–80% area median income.

Koski said the removal program is funded through the county’s solid-waste program and that the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reimburses the county for much of removal work. “Washington Department of Natural Resources reimburses, 90 to a 400% of those removals, including wages and benefits for admin time and indirect,” Koski said.

The county’s prevention work is smaller but focused on outreach, turn‑in events and coordinating with community groups. Koski said prevention is not reimbursable by the state and relies on federal and state grants and public donations; she gave a rough breakdown of current spending: “That program runs around a a hundred and 11 or so thousand dollars. … The prevention program … is about $39,000. So the total DV budget is about a hundred and 50 k,” Koski said.

Why it matters: Koski and council members emphasized that preventing vessels from becoming derelict costs far less than salvaging or demolishing a vessel after it sinks or is stranded. Koski described a range of social and logistical drivers—aging boats, limited marina space, difficulty insuring older vessels, and people using boats as housing—that increase the county’s workload.

Program scale and results: Koski said the county program has removed 105 vessels over roughly 20 years at a cost exceeding $1 million; she said recent individual removal costs ranged from about $1,500 to $41,000 and average project costs run “around 11 to 12 k per project.” She reported six county removals during the previous year and 27 countywide removals when including partner efforts (DNR-led projects, voluntary turn-in events and organized turn-in events with Northwest Straits Foundation).

Partners and operations: Koski described the county’s prevention work—outreach at marinas and yacht clubs, a hotline and a vessel-turn-in assistance program that helps owners use DNR’s voluntary turn-in program. She described coordination with the Department of Natural Resources, Washington State Department of Ecology, the county Department of Emergency Management, local ports and the Northwest Straits Foundation. Koski said county staff can act as a temporary authorized public entity to move or secure vessels when other agencies cannot immediately respond.

Law enforcement and human services constraints: Koski said many of the vessels of concern are occupied or used by people with housing and behavioral-health needs. “About probably about half of the boats … have an active person who’s a live aboard,” she said. Koski and council members discussed limits to impound or enforcement where vessels are used as residences, and the challenge of getting timely assistance and information from law enforcement. Koski said the county is exploring a liaison with the prosecuting attorney’s office and potential coded systems to share limited information about persons of concern, and is discussing whether the Department of Licensing could grant limited access to vessel registration data to speed identification.

Funding and budget request: Koski told the council she is proposing a budget amendment to transfer unclosed funds from 2019–2023 into the current account, saying “we’re looking at about 26,000 for that.” She characterized the annual local administrative funding for the part‑time coordinator position as roughly $70,000 (a 20‑hour/week position) and reiterated that prevention funding (about $39,000) is fragile because it depends largely on grants and donations. Council members and staff discussed short‑term donations and the possibility of asking marinas or yacht-club donors for support if state funding drops.

Council discussion and next steps: Council members thanked Koski for the presentation, asked for more clarity about utility and partner capacity (water/sewer not applicable, but coordination with ports and marinas matters for access), and raised implementation questions about transportation access for specific expansion or staging areas. No formal vote was taken; Koski’s requested $26,000 budget amendment and other items were discussed but not acted on during the meeting.

Ending: Koski encouraged the council to consider ways to sustain prevention funding and to support operational coordination with law enforcement, public‑safety and utility partners; council members indicated they would follow up and that staff would work with the auditor and prosecutor’s office to close prior‑year projects and to clarify next steps.","County environmental stewardship staff outlined two decades of derelict-vessel removals, prevention work and funding limits, and asked the council to consider a $26,000 budget amendment to close out untransferred prior-year project funds.","actionData","errors"]
