[
( 1) the legislature hereby declares that carrying out the purposes of federal grants or programs is both a public purpose and an appropriate function for a city, town, county, or public corporation. the provisions of rcw 35. 21. 730 through 35. 21. 755 and 35. 21. 660 and 35. 21. 670 and the enabling authority herein conferred to implement these provisions shall be construed to accomplish the purposes of rcw 35. 21. 730 through 35. 21. 755 .
the odessa public development authority has been successful in bringing new businesses and jobs to the rural eastern washington farming community of odessa, population 980. five new businesses and 40 family wage jobs were created in 2009 – with as many as 80 more on the way. one new business to a community as small as odessa has a ripple effect throughout the community. if that business hires just one employee who chooses to relocate to odessa from outside the community, it can bring more students to the school system, more patients to the hospital, additional taxes for government and more spending in the local community .

many communities have established public corporations for a variety of public purposes. in the opinion of many municipal attorneys, a public corporation created under rcw 35. 21. 730, et seq. is best used for unusual endeavors, which for a variety of reasons, the parent municipality would not want to undertake itself. this page provides just a few examples of pdas that have been formed including documents, and descriptions of the authorities from the washington state auditor' s office reports .
all partners, existing and new, would be devoted to improving lives through artistic, cultural, wellness, culinary, educational, recreational and trades - oriented programs. revenues raised would support the facilities and the traditional campgrounds, beaches and trails that have been open to the local and visiting public for generations. the pda would sustain public access .
the idea of forming a pda has been a topic of discussion at our city council meetings dating back at least as far as our september 10, 2013 meeting. we held a public hearing regarding this issue at our november 12, 2013 meeting and it has been a recurring topic during the public comment part of virtually every council meeting since then .
( 5) for purposes of this section ,

special purpose quasi - municipal corporations known as
pdas
are primarily authorized under rcw 35. 21. 730, et seq. , which allows cities, towns, and counties to establish
public corporations, commissions, or authorities .
the purpose for the creation of a public corporation under these statutes is to improve the administration of authorized federal grants or programs, to improve governmental efficiency and services, or to improve the general living conditions in the urban areas of the state. the provision was initially enacted to authorize cities, towns, and counties to participate in and implement federally assisted programs, including revenue sharing .
( 4) a city, town, county, or public corporation may establish one or more special funds relating to any or all of the sources listed in subsection (3) (a) through (e) of this section and pay or cause to be paid from such fund the principal, interest, premium if any, and other amounts payable on any bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness authorized under this section, and pay or cause to be paid any amounts owing on any obligations for repayment or reimbursement of guarantors of any such bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness. a city, town, county, or public corporation may contract with a financial institution either to act as trustee or custodian to receive, administer, and expend any federal or private funds, or to collect, administer, and make payments from any special fund as authorized under this section, or both, and to perform other duties and functions in connection with the transactions authorized under this section. if the bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness and related agreements comply with subsection (6) of this section, then any such funds held by any such trustee or custodian, or by a public corporation, shall not constitute public moneys or funds of any city, town, or county and at all times shall be kept segregated and set apart from other funds .
( 6) if any such federal or private funds are loaned or granted to any private party or used to guarantee any obligations of any private party, then any bonds, notes, other evidences of indebtedness issued or entered into for the purpose of receiving or causing the receipt of such federal or private funds, and any agreements to repay or reimburse guarantors, shall not be obligations of any city, town, or county and shall be payable only from a special fund as authorized in this section or from any of the security pledged pursuant to the authority of this section, or both. any bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness to which this subsection applies shall contain a recital to the effect that they are not obligations of the city, town, or county or the state of washington and that neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the state or any municipal corporation or subdivision of the state or any agency of any of the foregoing, is pledged to the payment of principal, interest, or premium, if any, thereon. any bonds, notes, other evidences of indebtedness, or other obligations to which this subsection applies shall not be included in any computation for purposes of limitations on indebtedness. to the extent expressly agreed in writing by a city, town, county, or public corporation, this subsection shall not apply to bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness issued for, or obligations incurred for, the necessary support of the poor and infirm by that city, town, county, or public corporation .
this new vision for fort worden has become especially important given the serious financial problems faced by washington state parks. all parks face cutbacks; many face closure. fort worden' s public - private partnership model holds promise as a way of sustaining and improving fort worden. the pda, created by the city of port townsend, is charged with implementing the long - term plan for the fort by preserving the fort' s unique historical and recreational resources, and developing the lifelong learning center. one example: the renovation of a little - used barracks, building 202, into a permanent college center .
the north bonneville city council created the north bonneville pda (nbpda) for the express purpose of applying for a retail marijuana store license and operating the store if they are awarded one of the two retail licenses allocated to skamania county by the washington state liquor control board (wslcb). there are a number of reasons we have undertaken this effort. foremost among them is our belief a pda will place more emphasis on meeting the mandates and fulfilling the goals of i - 502, the ballot initiative that legalized recreational marijuana use in our state, rather than focusing exclusively on financial gain. some of the goals set forth in i - 502 include ensuring public safety, preventing illegal sales and diversion to minors and funding substance - abuse prevention, research, education, health care and law enforcement services .
( 3) a city, town, county, or public corporation may pledge, as security for any such bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness or for its obligations to repay or reimburse any guarantor thereof, its right, title, and interest in and to any or all of the following: (a) any federal grants or payments received or that may be received in the future; (b) any of the following that may be obtained directly or indirectly from the use of any federal or private funds received as authorized in this section: (i) property and interests therein, and (ii) revenues; (c) any payments received or owing from any person resulting from the lending of any federal or private funds received as authorized in this section; (d) any proceeds under (a), (b), or (c) of this subsection and any securities or investments in which (a), (b), or (c) of this subsection or proceeds thereof may be invested; (e) any interest or other earnings on (a), (b), (c), or (d) of this subsection .

fort worden' s 435 acres, operated for decades as a washington state park, include some 100 whitewashed buildings built at the turn of the century. the built campus of the fort is a national historic landmark with performance halls, meeting rooms, classrooms, a dining hall, guest houses and dormitories. the campus is outlined by a broad parade ground, walkways, winding roads and rows of stately maples. the campus is surrounded by the rest of the park - broad beaches that reach past the point wilson lighthouse into admiralty inlet, densely forested highlands laced by trails and historical embattlements, picnic areas and full - service campgrounds. the park itself is at the edge of victorian port townsend, and at the foot of the vast olympic national park .
fort worden will remain a park, always open to campers, hikers, kayakers and beachwalkers. the renovated campus will be infused with new privately and publicly funded programs devoted to inspirational and transformative learning for people of all ages .

the council voted to approve the creation of the pda at the november 12th meeting and voted to approve the appointment of a board of directors to oversee the activities of the pda at a special meeting on november 19th. the original pda board consisted of rachele rice, chuck green, dan smith, tim dudley, and steven grimsrud. this is a groundbreaking endeavor and we feel the composition of this board provides our city with a diverse group of intelligent, dedicated individuals who are willing to volunteer their time and energies to help make this undertaking a success.
