PORT LUDLOW VILLAGE COUNCIL

Workshop Meeting Minutes

 April 17, 2007 

The meeting was convened at 3 p.m. at the Bay Club.  Present were Larry Nobles, Don Clark, Tom McCay, Bill Browne, Adele Govert, Gene Carmody, Allen Panasuk, Tony Durham, Frank Siler, and Suzanne Graber. (Absent: Terry O’Brien, Lani McCarry)

There were 6 guests in attendance.

Items discussed included:

Economic Development: Documents prepared by Mike Derrig during the past few years were reviewed along with Port Ludlow lot and residence statistics for the North Bay and South Bay communities.

One Port Ludlow: Discussed the possibilities of bringing the North Bay and South Bay communities together into one Port Ludlow. The history of the separation was briefly reviewed and signs of the two community’s growing together were reviewed. Ideas for accelerating the growth to one Village were introduced.

PSE General Meeting visit (4/5/07) and recent power outages: Most board members believe there was disconnect between what PSE claimed at the General Meeting and what Port Ludlow experienced April 12 and 13.  After considerable discussion it was recommended that the PLVC submit a letter to the Public Utility Commission with CC to PSE describing Port Ludlow’s concerns and asking for more reliable service.

Port Ludlow Medical Facility:  Larry Nobles and three other board members visited with volunteer Port Ludlow community members who have had health care careers and Jefferson Health Care representatives to discuss the possibilities of opening a health care unit in Port Ludlow.  Jefferson County Health Care will be researching various possibilities for providing this service.  Their analysis should be available in June or soon thereafter.

Promoting the Port Ludlow community:  Debate centered around the role of the PLVC in developing proposals for completing the communities build-out.

Meeting ended 4:45 p.m.

There were no motions made and no votes taken.

Respectfully,

Bill Browne

PLVC Secretary (04/17/07)
