Port of Port Townsend commissioners will consider a draft 2016 capital budget when they meet Wednesday.
The meeting will begin at 1 p.m. in chambers, 333 Benedict St.
It is preceded by a 9:30 a.m. workshop to review policies for changes or additions. Polices will be discussed further at the afternoon meeting.
The proposed capital budget is $595,000.
It includes two projects that staff says cannot be delayed: installation of a fire escape and fire suppression equipment, costing $150,000, at the Sail Loft Building and fixing a stormwater lift station that is providing skewed water test results. That will cost an estimated $180,000.
Commissioners also will consider a five-year, $1,785 monthly lease for Port Townsend Sails.
They will convene as the Industrial Development Corp. of the port and elect officers.
County commissioners
The three Jefferson County commissioners are expected to allocate funds for an alternative juvenile detention program at a meeting Monday.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. in chambers, 1820 Jefferson St., Port Townsend.
The resolution allocates $134,052 to Proctor House, which can house up to five juveniles who do not need the secure confinement of the Kitsap County Juvenile Detention Center.
The proposed resolution says the allocation is already part of the 2016 budget and that Proctor House Coordinator Kelli Parcher has run the program for 13 years.
The item is on the consent agenda and will not be discussed at the meeting unless requested by a member of the public or a county commissioner.
Additional items on the consent agenda include:
â– Scheduling of a public hearing to discuss the amendment of the sign code at 10:15 a.m. Feb. 1 in chambers.
â– A call for bids for the supply of aggregate material for bituminous surfaces, to be opened at 10 a.m. at the Feb. 1 meeting.
