EYE ON JEFFERSON: Port Townsend council to discuss housing, audit

The Port Townsend City Council will cover affordable housing tasking, midyear financial briefings, a review of the 2016 audit and LED street lighting when it meets at 6:30 p.m. Monday.

The workshop meeting will be in council chambers at historic City Hall, 540 Water St.

On Tuesday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., a quorum of council members may attend the water treatment facility grand opening at 2807 20th St.

From 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, a quorum of the Planning Commission or City Council may attend the Howard Street and Upper Sims Way community open house.

Due to limited parking, event organizers urge those interested to carpool, walk, or bicycle to the event at the Towne Point Club House, 2240 Towne Point Ave.

Comments from the first meeting June 28, as well as results from an online survey, will be reviewed at the open house, as the city shares some of its draft concepts.

The goal of the plan is to address the community’s vision and needs while clearly articulating the city’s expectations through development standards and regulations, the city said in a news release.
