Port of Port Angeles commissioners will conduct listening sessions on Monday in Forks, Port Angeles and Sequim.
Sessions will be on the John Wayne Marina in Sequim. Commissioners will hear public comment and respond.
The Forks session will be at 10 a.m. at the Rainforest Arts Center at 35 N. Forks Ave. The Port Angeles session will be at 2 p.m. in council chambers at City Hall, 321 E. Fifth St. The Sequim session will be at 6 p.m. at the Sequim Transit Center, 190 W. Cedar St.
Port officials are considering selling the marina in light of interest from two private developers and the need for $22 million by 2035 for float, piling and breakwater improvements.
Port commissioners also are considering a Nov. 6 general election ballot measure that would ask voters countywide to approve a 6.4-cents-per-$1,000 levy increase to fund the upgrades.
The City of Sequim has issued an administrative interpretation saying that private ownership of the marina is prohibited by the city’s shoreline master program and shoreline management act. The port has appealed and a hearing is planned at 1 p.m. Aug. 6 in Sequim council chambers at the Sequim Civic Center, 152 W. Cedar St.
