Public Updates

During the June 3, 2026 Organization Committee update, staff provided updates on downtown security cameras, indicating an active effort to deploy or enhance camera coverage in the district. The minutes do not specify vendors, scope, or whether the system is fully deployed, but ongoing updates signal that work is underway and potentially expanding. This suggests the DDA and City are investing in surveillance infrastructure to support public safety and property protection downtown.

The DEM also acknowledged that the existing plan does not specifically address white liquor impacts such as water supply contamination or targeted bay contamination procedures, but that these topics will be developed through conversations among LEPC members, including the City of Port Townsend and newly involved tribal nations. This indicates upcoming work to formalize bay contamination response playbooks, interagency communication workflows, and notification mechanisms for the US Coast Guard, state resource agencies, and tribal governments.

Current protocol is generic; county is considering more specific procedures for industrial spills in...

Community member David Ginsberg formally requested copies of Port Townsend Paper Company’s Tier II chemical inventory reports for 2023–2025 and expressed interest in serving as a community representative on the Jefferson County LEPC. He also questioned how accessible Tier II information is to the public and highlighted the need for transparent, structured processes for data requests and community participation. While the agenda references potential approval of board members, the emails show a broader push toward expanding community representation and improving data access workflows. This points to potential future needs for records management, secure public document access, and board/volunteer management solutions to help the LEPC manage chemical inventory data, public records requests, and membership applications more efficiently and transparently.

Tier II data must be made available to the public under EPCRA; current process and tools for doing s...
