VII. Staff Update & Committee Discussion

• Summer Event Schedule

Robison discussed proposed summer event schedule and stated that he is seeking $30,000 in

corporate sponsorships for the 4th of July Event. Robison noted that the FWPDA goal is to

break even. Staff and the Committee discussed the talent list for 4th of July and the upcoming

Thing! Festival produced by Seattle Theater Group (STG) on August 24 and 25. Robison

stated that STG is committed to hiring locally (i.e. Thunderbull Productions, Centrum

production interns, etc.). Staff and the Committee discussed performance venues across

property, the transportation plan and various ways that STG has engaged partner

participation. Staff and the committee discussed parking, transportation, lodging, noise

mitigation, and security. Discussion also included the importance of developing an

Emergency Response Plan for the FWPDA. Robison stated that STG will contract directly

with the police department and bring in their own security. Robison discussed a presentation

that he and Josh LaBelle (STG) made to the Washington Heritage Caucus.

• Makers Square Update

David Beckman reported that a non-mandatory pre-bid walk through has occurred that

included three interested general contractors. Staff and the Committee discussed the bid

process and timeline. Staff and the Committee discussed the need for a Makers Square

operations plan and RFP process. Staff agreed to update the Committee on the progress of the

operation plan, and noted that we will further discuss the RFP process in the May Executive

Committee. Staff and Committee members discussed the fact that we have yet to work out

the relationship between the Foundation and the PDA in terms of who will operate the

facility. It will be decided by year’s end, but no process for that decision was discussed.

• 2019 Year In Review

Staff and the Committee discussed the Annual Report presentation Robison and Moody made

to the City Council. Robison discussed the perception that costs have increased at Fort

Worden – noted that lodging and meeting rooms have increased over the past five years but

that they are in line with other comparable, local properties. Staff and the Committee

discussed partner rates, earn-backs and the appraisal conducted by State Parks in 2010/2011.

Robison noted that discussions have begun with State Parks regarding the revenue sharing

with WSP in year 7.

• Glamping

Robison reported that two bids have been received (approximately two thousand dollars

apart). Staff and the Committee discussed the bid process, the project timeline and strategies

for moving forward. Committee and staff discussed Kitsap Bank bond financing, timeline,

expanding project scope and loan terms.

• 2019 Operating Budget

Staff and the Committee reviewed proposed revisions to the 2019 operating budget and

discussed reallocating facilities and maintenance staff to the glamping project and energy

efficiency projects. Staff and the Committee discussed staffing costs, maintenance costs and

staffing changes. Heckscher recommended that staff summarize operating budget changes at

of 39

the Board Meeting. Staff and the committee discussed leveraging accommodations to

increase revenues.

• Neighborhood Advisory Committee

Staff and the Committee discussed the Neighborhood Advisory Committee (NAC)

application process, public meeting requirements and next steps. All eight NAC applicants

will be recommended to the full board. Robison discussed the transportation planning process

with the City and diverting staff and park users from Cherry Street to Redwood Street.

VIII. Public Comment

Goldman stated that current revenue shortfalls provide incentive to move as quickly as possible to

raise additional funds through the Fort Worden Foundation. Goldman noted that additional capital

reserves could be tapped instead of possibly maxing out the line of credit.

Robison agreed and stated that the primary role of Fort Worden Foundation is to pursue large gifts

(six figures and above).

IX. Adjourned: 10:26 a.m.

X. Executive Session to review lease terms and pricing in accordance with RCW 42.30.110 (c).

From: Rowe, Owen (PARKS) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, May 3, 2019 2:27 PM To: Rowe, Owen (PARKS) <[email protected]> Subject: State Parks 2019 Legislative Wrap-Up Dear State Parks’ Stakeholders, I wanted to take a few moments this Friday afternoon to update everyone on the outcomes from the 2019 Legislative Session. Thank you very much for your interest and support.

State Parks’ Legislative Session Wrap-Up The legislature adjourned Sine Die last Sunday finishing their work within minutes of midnight. It’s been several biennia since budgets have been completed within the 105-day regular session, and I’m pleased to report that the final legislative operating and capital budgets are quite favorable for State Parks. Competition for general tax support was as high as ever this session, and while State Parks received significantly fewer resources than the Commission’s request and the Governor’s proposal, the legislature did provide the park system a stable operating budget for the 2019-21 biennium. In addition, the capital budget provides significant resources for priority construction projects that will benefit park users around the state. Operating budget highlights: The $10 million in general tax support that has been provided as one-time over the past four biennia was finally made ongoing. This funding provides some certainty in ongoing operations and will allow us to hire current levels of seasonal park staff to meet visitor needs during peak season. This is a huge step in the right direction and should allow the park system to continue making progress in meeting the needs of a growing population in future budgets. Also of note, State Parks was provided $2 million to replace outdated equipment, $1.5 million to hire additional maintenance and construction staff, and $300,000 for customer service at the parks. The No Child Left Inside Program was funded at $1.5 million for capacity grants to organizations that introduce kids to outdoor recreation opportunities across the state. Finally, our Boating Safety Program was provided $150,000 to update boater educational materials and provide marine law enforcement training on Southern Resident Killer Whale protection. This funding supports Senator Lovelett’s SSB 5918 (Providing whale watching guidelines in the Boating Safety Education Program). Capital budget highlights: The 2019-21 capital budget is significant, at more than $100 million; including:

• New projects at $50.9 million

o New project highlights

▪ Nisqually State Park (Phase I)- New full-service park. First major new park since

Cama Beach in 2008

mailto:[email protected]


▪ Willapa Hills Trail- Pedestrian overpass over State Route 6

▪ Major road improvements at Steptoe Butte

▪ $31 million Capital Preservation Pool (see attached “State Parks 2019-21 Capital

Budget Final Comm Vers” for list of eligible projects)

• Re-appropriations on specific projects at $31.8 million

• Dedicated account spending authority at $9.7 million

• $11.2 million in WWRP grants in the State Parks category (based on total funding level of $85

million see attached “2019-21 RCO WWRP- Agency vs Conference” for details)

This legislature piloted a new capital program in State Parks by providing a Capital Preservation Pool of $31 million that authorizes spending on a list of projects. The “pool” concept gives us flexibility so that we can economize as well as address unexpected cost over-runs on individual projects. This approach will allow us to move funding to the highest-priority, shovel-ready projects. State Parks is required to report to the Governor and legislature the list of projects we plan to fund, their funding levels, and project schedules, by January 2020. I also want to thank the Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation, The Department of Natural Resources, and the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, the Palouse to Cascades Trail Coalition, the Governor’s Office, state legislators, and many more for your support of the Beverly Bridge rehabilitation. This project will provide a safe crossing over the Columbia River south of Vantage for Palouse to Cascades Trail users. Please take a few moments to view a short video from the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation on this amazing project. Link provided below. https://youtu.be/PdVcsMVKiJ8 For additional details on the capital budget projects and final WWRP list please see attachments. Finally, the Transportation Budget provided an additional $200,000, bringing our funding level to almost $1.2 million per biennia to maintain the over 440 plus miles of road lanes for which we are responsible. Significant bills that passed the legislature: SHB 1436 (Concerning snow bikes)- by Representative Mosbrucker. This legislation allows motorcycles to be concurrently registered as a motorcycle and as a snow bike. Snow bikes are motorcycles that are converted to snow machines by adding a ski to the front forks and a revolving track to the rear transmission. These machines are growing in popularity and are using groomed winter recreation trails on public lands. This legislation requires snow bikes to register as snowmobiles when using Sno-Parks so that they contribute to the Winter Recreation Program’s budget to maintain groomed trails on public lands throughout the state. (Awaiting Governor’s signature) HB 1449 (State Public Lands Day)- by Representative Peterson. This legislation recognizes the fourth Saturday of September as “Public Lands Day”. This day is already nationally recognized, but it’s great to have legislative interest in state recognition of the importance of our public lands. Over the past several years Director Hoch has identified this day as one of the twelve “free days” at State Parks and I expect that tradition will continue. (Signed into law by the Governor) SHB 1953 (Reducing the amount of permits required for recreation at a Sno-Park)- by Representative Corry. Under current law, Sno-Park users that purchase a daily Sno-Park permit are also required to

https://youtu.be/PdVcsMVKiJ8

display a Discover Pass. The need for two passes is confusing and causes frustration for Sno-Park users. This bill clarifies that a valid daily or seasonal Sno-Park Permit is all that is needed to recreate at a Sno-Park. (Signed into law by the Governor) SSB 5918 (Providing whale watching guidelines in the boating safety education program)- by Senator Lovelett. This legislation directs the State Parks Boating Safety Program to develop educational materials about whale watching guidelines and voluntary and regulatory measures that boaters should follow to protect the Southern Resident Killer Whales. The Boating Safety Program plans on adding questions to the state’s mandatory boater education curriculum, developing printed materials for recreational boaters, and expanding training for marine law enforcement divisions on state laws and federal regulations related to whale watching. (Awaiting the Governor’s signature) ============================================== In closing I want to provide a special thanks to all of you and our amazing Friends’ Groups for your support during legislative session. State Parks can’t be successful without you!! Yours in service to our truly remarkable State Park system. Sincerely, Owen

Q: Why is Seattle Theater Group (STG) producing this event at Fort Worden?

A: STG’s mission aligns closely with the Fort Worden Lifelong Learning Center vision. Both are

dedicated to enriching arts education, engaging diverse communities, and stewarding its historic

metropolitan theatres for the benefit of future generations.

STG manages and operates three historic theaters in Seattle (The Moore, est. 1907; The Neptune,

est. 1921; and The Paramount, est. 1928) and offers over 600 arts and musical performances

around the region annually.

STG and Centrum maintain a 10+ year partnership presenting DANCE This!, a weeklong

immersive workshop for high school students hosted at Fort Worden. STG saw an exciting

opportunity to host a creative, eclectic weekend of music, art, comedy, film, recreation and more

at Fort Worden.

The mainstage lineup for THING was announced on Monday, April 22, including more than 20

vibrant artists and performers carefully curated by Sasquatch! Festival Founder Adam Zacks.

STG is collaborating with Fort Worden’s 15 tenant partners and Jefferson County’s nonprofit

organizations to develop additional events and activities as part of THING’s diverse offerings.

Some examples include:

• Yoga and body movement with Madrona Mindbody Institute

• Guided walking tours of Artillery Hill with the Friends of Fort Worden

• More to be announced!

“Now that the programming for our main stages is set, we are continuing to curate and program

all other aspects of the event,” said Emily Krahn, Public Relations Manager for the Seattle

Theatre Group. “There will be additional artist announcements to come, so please stay tuned!”

Q: What is the role of the Fort Worden Public Development Authority (PDA) in this event?

A: STG is renting the 95-acre Lifelong Learning Center campus including select facilities such

as the Parade Grounds, the McCurdy Pavilion, the USO Hall, and the Wheeler Theater to serve

as performance venues and artist workspaces.

STG is responsible for all costs associated with producing the event including artist fees; event

staff; equipment set-up and operations; event marketing and promotion; additional portable

restrooms; additional signage; event parking and shuttle services; event security and public

safety in conjunction with the City of Port Townsend and Port Townsend Police Department.

The PDA’s role is to help STG coordinate and manage event logistics including but not limited

to: hospitality services e.g. overnight accommodations and facilities rentals, food and beverage

services, waste management and recycling services, on-site traffic and parking management.

of 39

Q: Will the Fort be closed to the public during the event?

A. No. Fort Worden’s outdoor recreation areas are open to the public 365 days a year. Access to

Artillery Hill and the historic bunkers, the beach and shoreline, etc., will remains open from

dawn until dusk. Vehicles parked on the beach or at trailheads are required to display a valid

Discover Pass and these areas will be monitored by Washington State Parks.

In order to access the spaces and venues associated with THING, visitors will need to have

purchased a one-day or two-day admission and be wearing a valid event wristband.

Q. How many tickets will be sold?

A. STG anticipates a daily attendance of 5,000 guests over the two-day event. Comparatively,

the annual Wooden Boat Festival draws between 20,000 and 30,000 visitors over three days.

In support of THING as a family-friendly event and to encourage youth participation, STG has

offered all kids 13 and under free admission.

“It is important to STG that this event be accessible to families and young people throughout the

community,” said Emily Krahn, Public Relations Manager for the Seattle Theatre Group. “We

hope this ticket policy will help to get kids more involved and provide opportunities for them to

experience art and music in new and exciting ways.”

In 2018, more than 35% of the Modest Mouse concert (produced by STG) attendees were

residents of Jefferson and Clallam counties. STG intends for its newest effort to build on last

year’s success and expand its regional arts and culture offerings to the Olympic Peninsula.

Early ticket sales reflect a high-level of interest from local residents along with steady sales in

the Seattle-area indicating there will be a good mix of attendees from throughout the Puget

Sound region.

Q: How will traffic be coordinated so that visitors can get to Port Townsend and Fort

Worden without a huge traffic jam, but also navigate the surface streets at the Fort?

A: Seattle Theater Group and Fort Worden are working closely with the City of Port Townsend

and the Port Townsend Police Department to monitor traffic flow to and from the event and

mitigate the effect on surrounding neighborhoods and streets, and ensure pedestrian and cyclists

safety.

Event parking at Fort Worden will be very limited. Locals are encouraged to walk, bike or take a

shuttle from designated parking areas to the Fort for the event. Parking outside of the Lifelong

Learning Center campus will require a Discover Pass. Event parking in the neighborhoods

adjacent to Fort Worden is prohibited and will be strictly enforced.

On-site event parking at Fort Worden is restricted to event staff, PDA staff, Admiral Society

members, and guests with a valid ADA license plate/placard. Off-site event parking areas will be

serviced by a THING Shuttle making frequent stops to transport guests to and from Fort Worden.

• Jefferson County Fairgrounds (4907 Landes Street) - $30 per day*

• Haines Street Park & Ride (440 12th Street) - Public parking. First-come, first-served.

• Blue Heron Middle School (3939 San Juan Avenue) - Public parking. First-come, first-served.

(Additional parking and shuttle areas may be added)

Q: Is Fort Worden equipped to handle this high-level of foot traffic and demand on

bathroom facilities?

A: Yes. Fort Worden State Park welcomes more than 2 million guests annually. The Fort

Worden Lifelong Learning Center spans 95 acres and includes 73 historic buildings, 450 guest

beds in 40 overnight accommodations, 80 campsites, four performing arts venues, four food and

beverage outlets, and 58,000+ sq. ft. of conference and meeting spaces.

The McCurdy Pavilion and Littlefield Green supported the Modest Mouse concert in August

2018, which welcomed just under 5,000 guests over two days. Add to that capacity the Parade

Grounds, which when utilized for the annual Fourth of July celebration welcomes more than

3,000 visitors in a single day, plus the 280-seat Wheeler Theater and other performances venues.

In addition to Fort Worden’s on-site restroom facilities additional portable restrooms and hand

washing stations will be placed in close proximity to all performances venues. This includes

ADA accessible restrooms.

Additional food vendors will also be staged in one or more outdoor “food court” areas to add to

the Fort’s on-site eatery options.

Q: There were some party poopers last summer who complained about the noise level of

the Modest Mouse concert. Are there any concerns about noise complaints for this much

larger event, and what is being done to mitigate such issues?

STG and Fort Worden learned a lot from last year’s Modest Mouse event. STG has taken great

care in the selection of bands that focus more on a varied music lineup to help mitigate any noise

impacts. Amplified music will begin at 1 pm and end at 10 pm each day of the event and be

closely monitored to manage an appropriate decibel level during performances.

of 39

Q: What will the major star power of this fest mean for the Fort as far as becoming a

national destination?

A: STG’s THING will be an intimate and special event that brings together a creative tapestry of

regional and national musical acts, visual arts, dance, comedy, film, wellness, kids activities and

recreation in the magnificent historic setting of Fort Worden. THING has something for

everyone and every age. THING achieves in one weekend what Fort Worden seeks to be year-

round—a destination for creativity, inspiration and collaboration of all forms of art.

THING exposes a new and diverse audience to Fort Worden’s 15 nonprofit organizations and

creative businesses. Growing the reputation of existing Fort Worden program partners helps to

attract new, diverse audiences to the Lifelong Learning Center’s programming as well as new

arts, culture and education organizations capable of expanding upon existing programs and

events.

Continued development of experiential arts and culture programming at Fort Worden is the

mission of the PDA, and helps to ensure a sustainable, year-round economy that reinvests

revenues into the critical capital improvements and infrastructure maintenance projects

(including historic preservation) necessary to maintain Fort Worden as a National Historic

Landmark and public asset for another 100 years.

Q: Why is this event good for both the Fort and PT as a whole?

Port Townsend is one of only two cities in Washington to have a state park located within its

municipal boundaries, and benefits daily from the historical and cultural significance of these

public lands. Fort Worden has operated distinctly as both a state park and conference center for

over 45 years and helped to shape the city’s identity.

STG is committed to collaborating and hiring (whenever possible) local businesses to support

event production. THING will further promote Port Townsend as an “arts community” and

highlight the agrarian and culinary arts of Jefferson County to a diverse audience.

Sales tax and lodging tax revenues associated with the event will be reinvested into the Port

Townsend and Jefferson County communities.

Q: Anything else you would like to add?
