Call to Order: The regular meeting was called to order at 10:30 a.m. by Commissioner Weber in the Port Office, located at 24 Front Street in Coupeville, WA, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING: Weber stated that the Minutes for the regular meeting of December 10, 2008, were available for approval and signatures.

Corrections: McDonald noted that on page 5, Ginger Engle should be changed to Ginger Eagle. Weber noted that on page 10, Weber adjourned the meeting should be changed to Bronson adjourned the meeting, since she was actually not at the meeting.

ACTION: A motion was made by McDonald and seconded by Bronson to approve the December 10, 2008, meeting Minutes as amended. The motion passed unanimously.

SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS: There were none.

MEETING OPEN TO PUBLIC INPUT: In view of the large number of attendees, Weber re-ordered the agenda to place Public Input at the start of the meeting. Weber opened the meeting to public input.

Steven Miller of Coupeville read aloud his January 13, 2009, letter to the Board expressing his concern for the condition of the Coupeville Wharf (on file at the Port office). The Board thanked Miller and noted that they were aware of the various problems at the Wharf.

Water and sewage leaks: Patton provided a detailed explanation of the recent events on the Wharf that included damage to the fresh water pipe and the sewage system. The insulation on the fresh water pipe that was buried at the causeway entrance had deteriorated over time and the recent freezing weather caused the pipe to burst. The Port Handyman, Dick Tackett, replaced the failed pipe section and wrapped it in insulation within one day. When the Wharf's sanitary system failed on Saturday last, Harbor Plumbing inspected it and discovered that one of the flexible expansion sleeves expanded to the point that it pulled away from the insulated pipe. Patton ordered water service secured at the wharf and reported the failure to the Director of the county health department. The expansion sleeve was repaired within 12 hours. Patton circulated before and after photos of the sleeved joint. Then on Tuesday, the same problem occurred in a different spot along the sewage line. That was repaired immediately. Harbor Plumbing now thinks the recent violent storm may not be the only cause for the problem - the Wharf itself might be leaning and creating the problem. There is a new type of expansion joint with a longer sleeve available and Harbor Plumbing will install and replace all 3 of the expansion joints as soon as possible. Patton informed the Board that the Wharf itself would need to be surveyed, and noted that much of the Wharf was built on fill.

Pressure washing: Regarding the pressure washing of the causeway and walking decks around the Wharf - a safety requirement mentioned in Mr. Miller's letter -- Patton noted that it is the Harbormaster's responsibility and the Dock hand's job. Unfortunately, the nozzle of the Port's gasoline-powered pressure washer broke a few weeks ago and a replacement had to be ordered. In the meantime, Russ Johnson volunteered the use of his small electric pressure washer and his time and when the replacement part arrived he and the Port's Dockhand managed to clean the walking area around the picnic tables and planned to do the rest as soon as possible. Unfortunately, while Johnson was relocating the Port's pressure washer, the hose fitting broke off. On his own, Johnson conducted a search for and ordered a replacement part. The Port's pressure washer should be back in commission within a couple of days. Patton noted that whenever an area can't be cleaned, the Port puts up yellow caution tape to prevent possible injury.

Repairs to the fuel dock: Patton noted that the steel brackets that secure the concrete fuel dock to the steel pilings have been in a deteriorated condition for a long time. The Port advertised a solicitation of bids for their replacement, but did not receive any responses. By word of mouth, the Port learned of Superior Systems, Inc. in Mount Vernon and obtained an estimate. The Board approved $3,000 for the replacements and placed an order with Superior Systems on August 4, 2008. In spite of numerous phone calls and two visits by Patton, the steel plates have not yet arrived. Bronson and Patton went to the company with a letter canceling the contract for default. The company assured them they would have the brackets here by Friday.

Patton provided additional details of the steel brackets' function. He showed pictures of himself, Bronson, the Port Handyman and the Harbormaster trying to get the gangway up and secure the westernmost 40-ft section of the fuel dock during the recent storm, the 3^rd big storm of the season. On Sunday morning, William Bell noticed that section of the fuel dock was adrift and called the Fire Department, who secured it and notified the Port. Bronson noted that the wooden rub rails and timber cleat rails on the concrete fuel dock are also in need of replacement.

Wharf roof: Bronson said the roof needs replacement. Nearly 1/4 of the shingles came off the roof in last Thursday's windstorm. These were replaced within 24 hours by Dick Tackett but the remaining shingles are fastened with nails with badly rusted heads.

Burton Blakely of Coupeville noted that page 42 of the Port's Comprehensive Plan says that the Port is not interested in a breakwater. He feels a floating breakwater is exactly what is needed to protect the Wharf from storm damage. Bronson explained that various state and federal agencies would have something to say about that, and additionally, the Port does not have any money for it.

Lewis Walker of Coupeville asked if the Port had a breakdown of the recently failed levy vote by area. He encouraged the Port to do so, and said he would like to see them go for a levy increase again, but with an emphasis on the Wharf. Weber said the Board is still discussing the possibility of another levy vote. They will need to do some additional fact finding and also look into the last election results by precinct.

Stella Tandecki of Coupeville expressed concern about liability for volunteers working on the Wharf and visitors to the Wharf. Patton said the Port has $10 million worth of liability insurance. Weber noted that any festivals, events, etc. using the Port's property are required to provide additional insurance.

Bronson sensed the general feeling of the public seems to be that the Board's total view is looking toward the Greenbank Farm. The Port's basic goal for the Farm is to make it economically self-sufficient. The Board has also discussed developing more programs and activities for the Wharf that would bring more of the public to the Wharf. The Farm could become self-sufficient, but under the current conditions, the Wharf can never become self-sufficient because it doesn't generate much income.

Tandecki asked if the pilings are checked on a regular basis. Patton said the pilings are checked every two years by the Port diver.

Larry Ogle of Coupeville said, The levy would have passed had people not known it was all going to go down to the hobby farm. He said he looked at the 2007 Annual Report for the Greenbank Farm and he is very interested in looking at the 2008 report when it is ready. He believes the Farm needs an audit by the state Department of Revenue and the federal Internal Revenue Service, because he smells a rat.

Vern Olsen of Coupeville said he was a Greenbank resident for 35 years. For 20 years, the Greenbank taxpayer group of the Port District worked without receiving a penny from the Port Commission, and it was a case of us against them. He thinks the current situation is also us against them, and Olsen strongly believes that both the Farm and the Wharf are historic sites and both need to be supported by the Port Commission. There is no benefit in having people say this group is bad or that group is bad - we have to work together and work together with the Port Commission on this whole thing. Weber noted that the appraised value of the Greenbank Farm is more than $6 million, and the Port office and Wharf property is appraised at about $600,000. The Port Commission is responsible for both of the two 100-year old sites, and they will continue to do their best to protect both of them for Whidbey Island residents and visitors.

Mike Stansbury, President of Greenbank Farm Management Group (GFMG), said that levy funding produces revenue for the Port, and the Port has free rein to allocate that money. There seemed to be a mistaken impression that money from the levy lift would be devoted to the Farm. It would actually have provided additional funds for the Port, which would have been used for both the Farm and the Wharf, and both the Farm and the Wharf have deferred maintenance problems. Stansbury said he would be happy to speak to anyone regarding the Farm's financial reporting and accounting practices. He added that the GFMG worked very hard to use volunteers and to raise funds from private individuals in order to support the Farm, and the Farm is very close to being self-sufficient.

Olsen said as one of those private individuals who donates to the Farm, he would support doing the same thing for the Wharf, and maybe an organization could be created to accept donations for the Wharf to accomplish many of the things that need to be done. Weber said the Board would be very interested in having a Friends of the Port group formed.

Graham Johnson of Washington State University-Extension (WSU) Beachwatchers noted that they had previously submitted a vision statement for the Wharf to the Board after their community presentations last year. In that statement, Beachwatchers indicated that they wanted to bring in a plastics display and create a docent program on the Wharf. He reported that both are in progress, and the plastics display (on loan from the Port Townsend Marine Science Center) should be erected and in place on the Wharf by the end of today. The Beachwatchers have also put together a manual that can be used as a guide for a corps of docents. It will be especially usefully during festivals. Johnson also noted that an additional mammal skeleton, that of Samson, the Stellar Sea Lion will be on display sometime this summer.

Weber thanked everyone present for attending the meeting and for all of their comments, and asked if there were any additional public comments. No one else wished to speak and Weber closed the meeting to public input and returned to the public meeting.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS AND APPOINTMENT OF PORT REPRESENTATIVES TO/LIASION WITH OTHER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS:

ACTION: A motion was made by Bronson and seconded by McDonald for Weber to continue as Board President for 2009, Bronson to continue as Board Vice President for 2009, and McDonald to continue as Board Secretary for 2009, and for all Board members to retain their current committee assignments in 2009. The motion passed unanimously.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

Port Executive Director's Report: (Patton)

Boating and fueling activities and repairs to fuel dock: The repairs were discussed earlier in the meeting. Patton reported the sale of fuel was below 400 gallons in December 2008, compared to almost 1,800 gallons in December 2006. The Port took advantage of the low fuel prices in December and filled the tanks when the price dropped to $1.48/gallon for diesel and $1.85/gallon for unleaded fuel.

Status of Comprehensive Plan Initiatives:

Progress on the Passenger-only Ferry: Patton said the whole scheme has unraveled for a couple of reasons. The small ferry that George Terek was leasing blew an out-drive and is out of the water awaiting an $8,000 repair. Terek and the boat owner don't have the money and are applying for insurance reimbursement. Terek was also told that Island County would not give him a subsidy for transporting county employees between Camano and Whidbey Islands. Patton reported that Terek still owed the Port $195 in moorage fees for the months of November and December. Without financial support from subsidy or private investment, there is not going to be a passenger-only ferry utilizing the Port's marina any time soon.

Progress on the Marine Education Center (MEC): Graham Johnson reported on the progress earlier in the meeting.

Progress on the Greenbank Farm Conservation Easement: Patton said he and Stansbury need to meet again with Pat Powell of the Whidbey/Camano Land Trust. Powell is researching precedents involving conservation easements with one municipality transferring property to another without necessarily attaching financial numbers to the property.

Progress on the Master Site Plan: (Keeler) Master Site Plan Coordinator, Donna Keeler, reported the group formed by the merging of the 4 previous focus groups has had two official meetings, including one last Wednesday. The next meeting is scheduled for January 21st at 5 p.m. at the Greenbank Progressive Club, and Keeler will send out reminders. The group is working on their vision statements for the Farm and over-arching policies. The Board will soon begin getting drafts of the Plan for their review, and will hopefully get a full draft of the Plan in about 3 weeks that will include the completed Asset Inventory, a section on the recommendations and some policy statements for the Board to review before taking it to the public.

Status of proposal for capital project at Greenbank Farm - briefings to legislators: Patton said the contributions of the 40 volunteers in the 4 focus groups have been very illuminating regarding the Farm's status and a way out of the current difficult financial situation. Since all current revenue from the Farm goes back to the GFMG and no money goes to the Port, creating a revenue stream from the Farm to the Port was at the top of the list of recommendations by the focus groups. They have identified several community needs that could create some revenue, including an indoor year-round Farmer's market, learning centers for agricultural and environmental protection studies, a commercial kitchen, office space and public restrooms. A capital project for a new building to meet those needs was recommended. Rob Schouten came up with an exterior design for it and a CAD system was used to design the interior of the building. It is hoped that the capital project will be included in Governor Gregoire's requests for funds from a federal economic stimulus package. Patton and Weber briefed State Senator Mary Margaret Haugen and State Representative Barbara Bailey on the capital project and both have stated they support it. They will brief State Representative Norma Smith on January 24^th.

Status of Puget Sound Energy (PSE) request for vegetation control easement: Patton said PSE's arborist has not been able to come out and inspect the area, so the status of their request remains unchanged.

Status of the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project at Greenbank Farm: Patton reported that under the very capable leadership of CSA Coordinator, Anza Muenchow, the process is going along fine. Unfortunately, the source of funding for the CSA, Northwest Agricultural Business Center (NABC), is being cut by the governor by 40%. Both CSA and NABC asked for support from the Port, and Weber signed letters of support on their behalf that were sent to Governor Gregoire and Senator Haugen. Patton said they had received the governor's response yesterday and her letter basically said, I hear you, I'm sympathetic, but you hit me at a bad time. Weber read aloud the following from the governor's response: In conclusion, I am the first to admit that my budget includes drastic reductions to weather the current financial storm, yet it will prepare us to further prosper in the future. The budget is not an end, but a beginning of working with the people of Washington and the Legislature to determine how to meet this serious physical challenge that we face. I appreciate the letters, calls and messages I've received, and hope you will continue to keep in contact with me and with your legislators. Weber said she also spoke with Senator Haugen and Representative Bailey about the matter, and both asked her to remember that the Governor's budget is the first working piece in developing the State's budget, and both sides of the aisle in the Senate and the House will be presenting their budgets and hopefully all will come together. It's important to keep our legislators advised that the Port fully supports the NABC and the CSA.

Status of Large On-site Sewage System (LOSS) site inspection and small works projects at Greenbank Farm:

LOSS site inspection: Patton reported the required newspaper advertisement seeking a state-qualified sewage system manager for a long-term maintenance contract for the LOSS at the Farm resulted in just one bid, from Reed's Construction for a total of $4,704. The required 40 weekly visits per year would cost $2,600 per year, the monthly testing and inspection would cost $1,250 per year, and the biannual requirements would cost $854 per year. The bid of $4,704 exceeds the $4,000 budgeted for the year, but Patton felt the Port has no choice but to get someone under contract immediately to avoid losing the permit and having to shut down the Farm as a result.

ACTION: A motion was made by Bronson and seconded by McDonald to accept the proposal by Reed's Construction in the amount of $4,704 for the maintenance contract for the LOSS at Greenbank Farm. The motion passed unanimously.

Patton noted that the LOSS and the new potable water system that the Port put in 3 years ago would be fully capable of supporting the new building requested in the capital project.

Small Works Projects (non-emergency maintenance repairs): After soliciting bids in the newspaper, the Port received one bid for each of the non-emergency maintenance repairs below.

Barn A heat pump replacement: Marshall's Mechanical submitted a bid in the amount of $6,475 to remove and replace the failed heat pump. After a brief discussion about the Barn's heating needs and the Port's budget, Patton suggested that the Board could approve the proposal by Marshall's Mechanical contingent upon a final recommendation letter from the GFMG. Stansbury said the GFMG would be able to reach a decision within several days.

ACTION: A motion was made by Bronson and seconded by McDonald to accept and approve the proposal of Marshall's Mechanicals to remove and replace the heat pump in Barn A at a cost of $6,475, contingent upon final recommendation by the Greenbank Farm Management Group. The motion passed unanimously.

Installation of grease trap: Harbor Mechanical submitted a bid in the amount of $5,600 to provide labor and materials to install a 70-lb. grease trap for the Whidbey Pies Café kitchen at the Farm. Café' owner Jan Gunn has requested the work be done on January 26^th and 27^th, when it is least intrusive to her business, and Harbor Mechanical has agreed to that schedule. Patton strongly recommended the Board approve the bid.

ACTION: A motion was made by Bronson and seconded by McDonald to accept and approve the proposal of Harbor Mechanical to install a grease trap at the Farm's Café kitchen at a cost of $5,600.

Bronson said it is inconceivable to him a permit of inspection was received that accepted the plumbing status without the installation of a grease trap.

Weber called for a vote and the motion passed unanimously.

Larry Ogle asked where the Port advertises its small works projects, and Patton said the advertisements are placed in the Legal sections of the Whidbey News-Times, the Whidbey Examiner and the South Whidbey Record. Ogle said the Port should advertise in the Daily Journal of Commerce, where he claimed every other public entity advertises for bids. Patton thanked him for his good input.

Greenbank Farm Management Report, including management changes: (Stansbury) Stansbury was on hand to answer any questions the Board had regarding the December Report he previously sent to Patton and which is included in these Minutes as follows:

In response to the $15,000 challenge grant announced in September 2008, the Greenbank Farm Board of Directors raised nearly $25,000 in private donations. This has resulted in total privately raised funds from this appeal of approximately $40,000, including the original challenge. This is the most successful fundraising effort of the Board in many years.

The Greenbank Farm Management Group Board elected new officers for 2009. These included: Michael Stansbury, President and Treasurer; Sharon Dunn, Vice President and Corporate Secretary. Other vice presidents will be selected later. Tom Baenen continues on the Board; the Board term of Ken Bloom expired.

Cheryl Sagmeister resigned as Farm Operations Manager effective January 9, 2009. The Board has hired Virginia Bloom as Interim Farm Operations Manager beginning January 19, 2009, for an interim period that will last through the fall of 2009. Virginia has been a resident of Whidbey Island for 35 years and brings many years of experience in operating small businesses on the Island and in civic affairs participation. We expect her to be a strong leader of the Farm during this transition and to assist us in more completely defining the permanent position.

The traditional holiday markets continued through December in Barn A with a full compliment of vendors. While the markets were successful, results were adversely affected by the weather and snow conditions, which dampened attendance and shopping activity during the most critical time.

Ongoing repair and maintenance activity at the Farm continues, including septic and grease trap work, repair of heaters in Barn A and the tractor barn and replacement of heat pump serving the Café, Wine Shop, Office and Restrooms.

The new sign at Highway 525 and the tractor port for display of the antique tractor near the entrance to the Café and Wine Shop are nearly completed.

Stansbury added that the focus will be on efforts to make the Farm a self-sustaining operation, both in terms of its operations and in terms of institutionalized development program.

Weber asked Stansbury to email the Board with the GFMG report prior to the Port's regular meeting in the future, and he agreed to do so. The Board congratulated Virginia Bloom and said they look forward to teamwork and great accomplishment.

COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Marine Resources Committee (MRC); Northwest Straits Commission (NWSC) and Central Whidbey Chamber of Commerce (CWCC): (Weber) CWCC: The next scheduled meeting is tomorrow morning at the Methodist Church. Installation of new officers will take place at 6:30 p.m. on January 29^th. Sue Cunningham will be the new President, and will continue the Public Affairs Committee. MRC: The MRC has reorganized and installed new officers. The MRC's recent educational meeting featured a speaker from the Snohomish County P.U.D., who spoke about the Admiralty Inlet Tidal Power Pilot Project. MRC's next business meeting is scheduled for January 20^th in the Island County Commissioner's Hearing Room at 3:30 p.m. The next educational meeting will be February 3^rd featuring the Beach Watchers' presentation on the results of 2008-2009 grants and planning. The Northwest Conference of the MRC was held in November, and included an outstanding presentation on plastics and the San Juan Initiative. The MRC will invite that speaker to come and speak and invite the general public to attend as well. Weber said she has been on the MRC since 2002 and her term ends 12/31/09. At that time, she would like to shift to a different committee. Additional information regarding the minutes of the MRC meetings are available on file at the Port office, including the MRC's response to the Puget Sound Partnership's Action Agenda.

Council of Governments (COG); Economic Development Council (EDC); Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO); Washington Public Ports Association (WPPA): (McDonald) McDonald said that due to the holidays and the weather, only COG held a meeting in December. The weather caused her to go into a ditch on the way to the meeting, so she was unable to attend.

Greenbank Farm and Puget Sound Partnership (PSP): (Bronson) PSP: Nothing new to report. Greenbank Farm: Bronson said the Farm is doing well and making great progress on the Master Site Plan.

NEW BUSINESS:

Port leases:

a) Long Bechard's Gift Shop (Harbor Store & Art Gallery): Patton referred the Board to previous emails he had sent regarding the Lease Holdover Agreement and the analysis of rent alternatives. He explained that the first lease that Bechard had assumed for Whidbey Center for the Arts was based on a low base rent plus 1.5% of gross retail sales, which meant the Port shared the risk as to profitability. The recently expired lease was renewed under the same terms, which Patton's analysis shows resulted in taxing Bechard and her success, rather than sharing in the risk of her failure. Patton noted that all other Port leases and those of the Greenbank Farm are base rent + annual CPI adjustment + leasehold tax He explained how he researched and conducted his analysis and calculations. The resulting draft lease presented to the Board today is for a base rent of $690 per month plus 12.84% for leasehold taxes, for a total of $778.60. That amount will be CPI adjusted annually. Regarding the duration of the lease, Patton recommended the Board approve a 3-year lease, renewable on a one year at a time basis, in case the funding situation changes for a Marine Educational Center on the Wharf. That duration is consistent with Bechard's other lease with the Port for her restaurant (Long's Café).

Long Bechard was present and indicated that she accepted the terms of the proposed new lease. The Board said they appreciated that she has been a good tenant for many years.

ACTION: A motion was made by Bronson and seconded by Weber to approve the new lease effective February 1, 2009, between the Port of Coupeville and Long Bechard as submitted. The motion passed unanimously.

b) William Bell's Local Grown: Patton reported that Bell had not yet paid his rent by the time the agenda was prepared. It was due by December 26, 2008. The rent has since been paid, and Patton did send a letter to Bell identifying items that Bell needed to be cautioned about concerning the terms of his lease. Patton will continue to keep the Board updated.

Budget Analysis for 2008 - and recommendation to seek a levy increase in 2009: Patton reviewed the proper procedures for placing a proposition on the ballot, including Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) requirements and rules. He read aloud his memo to the Board which is on file at the Port office. His recommendation is that the Board return to the voters with another request for a levy lift, with a filing date of August 11, 2009, to appear on the ballot for the General Election on November 3, 2009.

ACTION: A motion was made by Weber and seconded by McDonald to move forward with placing a proposition for a levy lift on the ballot on November 3, 2009.

Bronson said it's time to start planning a campaign of public information in support of improving the Port's finances and the Board agreed. He said they should also identify all the areas where the Port has activities and emphasize the work being done to support both the Wharf and the Farm. The Board needs to make the case that the Port is a single taxing entity that has responsibility for two distinct and important properties. He compared it to having non-identical twins. Stansbury said the GFMG would certainly cooperate with the Port and participate in public discussions, because it is very important for both the Farm and the Wharf.

Weber called for a vote and the motion passed unanimously.

Budget analysis: Patton presented his budget analysis using the preliminary financial statement for December 2008, provided by Edwards & Associates. Although the 2008 anticipated Revenue was $377,455, the actual amount of Revenue was only $367,076. However, the budgeted Expense for 2008 was $377,455, but the actual Expense was $334,655. The result was a surplus for the year of $32,421. The Port started 2008 with approximately $52,000 in our Operating Reserves. Adding that to the surplus means that the Port started 2009 with about $84,000. To put that in perspective, today's vouchers total $30,000, leaving only about $54,000 in the Operating Reserves to hold the Port until the first installment of the levy arrives in April. Moreover, just today the Board authorized approximately $16,000 for necessary maintenance and repairs at the Greenbank Farm.

Weber asked the cause for the less than expected Revenue in 2008, and Patton explained it was mainly due to the drop in fuel sales and moorage fees experienced over the whole year

ANNOUNCEMENTS & ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS:

Next Port regular public meeting: The next regular monthly meeting of the Port's Board of Commissioners will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 11, 2009, at the Island County Commissioners' Hearing Room, B-102, #1 NE 6^th Street in Coupeville, WA.
