Recycling drop-site changes, PUD fiber info and emergency-preparedness hub planned
Summary
Council members said Jefferson County's vendor transition may remove the local recycling drop site, glass recycling remains at Port Townsend, PUD fiber rollout info is available on the PUD site, and the emergency-preparedness committee secured space for a charging/communications hub and a donated generator.
Council members and committee representatives told the meeting that countywide vendor changes mean the Port Ludlow drop site for certain recyclables may be lost, but curbside recycling containers should be provided by the new vendor; glass recycling remains available at the Port Townsend transfer station. The presenter directed residents to the county and PUD websites for vendor and fiber-rollout contact information.
Emergency-preparedness speakers described recent activity including the Great Washington ShakeOut participation, block-cabinet roster maintenance, donated radio equipment and repeaters, and an offered room for a permanent charging and radio hub. "They donated a room to us so we can permanently set that up. That's our charging location," an emergency coordinator said, and the committee noted a recent $1,500 donation toward emergency management.
