Port of Port Townsend commissioners will consider alternative bid schedules for the work on the Point Hudson south jetty and the timeline for considering the Northwest Maritime Center proposal when they meet in a special session at 1 p.m. Tuesday.
The meeting will be at the Port Townsend Yacht Club at 2503 Washington St.
Jake Beattie, director of the Northwest Maritime Center, has written to commissioners expressing concern that repair on the breakwater without wave protection could jeopardize this year’s Wooden Boat Festival, which is planned Sept. 7-9. He urged a fall-only start date or a summer option that includes wave protection for boats in the marina.
Also, the Northwest Maritime Center has proposed that the port allow the center to manage Point Hudson.
PT City Council

The meeting will be in council chambers at historic City Hall, 540 Water St.
The draft letter calls the governor’s attention to the fact that the Navy has opened six environmental assessments and environmental impact statements in the Puget Sound Region.

Council members also will consider sending a letter to the Navy asking that all public and private properties within the city be removed from its plans for special operations training.
The council also will consider approving a pre-annexation agreement with East Jefferson Fire Rescue.
