Summary

The Poulsbo City Council voted Nov. 5 to approve an amendment to an interlocal agreement with the Kitsap Public Facilities District to secure additional funding for the PERC recreation project and authorized the mayor to sign the amendment.

The Poulsbo City Council voted unanimously Nov. 5 to approve Interlocal Agreement Amendment No. 1 with the Kitsap Public Facilities District (KPFD) to add funding for the PERC recreation project and to authorize Mayor Rebecca Erickson to sign the amendment on the city—s behalf.

Public works project manager Diane Linnaeus told the council the amendment will allow the city to advertise and bid with alternates and to construct as much of the project as available funds allow. She outlined the broad funding picture in the packet: KPFD contributions for design and construction alongside a city construction share and an earlier land purchase. Linnaeus said the KPFD—s design contribution was shown in staff materials at about $1.5 million and that the partnership will enable a larger construction effort once final cost estimates are collected from AHBL (the project architect).

Council moved to approve the ILA amendment and to authorize the mayor to sign. The motion passed by roll-call voice vote with all councilmembers recorded as voting in the affirmative.

Why it matters: The PERC project represents a major parks and recreation investment for Poulsbo, funded through a mix of KPFD and city resources. Approving the ILA amendment was the step staff identified as needed to proceed to the next procurement and design milestones.

What happens next: Staff said they will return with additional presentations and a fuller design update after the next round of submittals and cost estimates, and plan to bring construction-phase recommendations back for council action when bids and alternates are evaluated.
