County of Jefferson
In the Matter of Establishing Goals and } Objectives with Budget Preparation Guidelines } for the 2026 Annual Budget }
RESOLUTION NO. 48-0721-25R
WHEREAS, Jefferson County rescinded Jefferson County Code, Section 3.01.020 to reestablish an annual budget;
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners continues its efforts to improve compensation for county employees to improve retention of existing employees; and
WHEREAS, limiting the growth of department and elected office non-salary and benefits budgets makes possible improvements in compensation and provides a hedge against an economic downturn and expected reductions in Federal and State funding; and
WHEREAS, we have an obligation to account for these fiscal realities as we prepare the 2026 Annual Budget;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Commissioners of Jefferson
County does hereby establish the following objectives and procedures to guide the development and adoption of the 2026 Annual Budget:
I. GOALS AND BUDGET OBJECTIVES
1.Balanced Budget -The budget, when adopted, shall be balanced within available resources. In
addition to annual fiscal objectives, there should also be a focus on long-term financial analysis.
The County shall continue to use multi-year budget forecasting for analyzing impacts the current
budget will have on future revenues and expenditures.
2.Use of Unreserved Fund Balance-We anticipate using a portion of the projected year-end 2025General Fund balance to present a balanced budget. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, upto half of the estimated unreserved fund balances to balance the General Fund budget is availableif needed.
3.Property Taxes -Growth in property taxes for the General Fund, Road Fund, and Conservation
Futures Fund shall not exceed the 1 % limit, plus taxes collected on new construction.
4.Sales Taxes -The County shall budget and administer General Fund sales tax revenues includingtaxes consistent with Jefferson County Resolution No. 32-10 (Special Purpose Tax levyresolution).
S.Extraordinary General Fund Revenues -Continue to use available General Fund revenuessuch as federal Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PIL T) to support Board of County Commissionersobjectives and County Strategic Plan goals. Some General Fund revenues are volatile, varyingsignificantly year-to-year (e.g., private timber harvests, DNR Forest Board Trust revenue, and
investment income), and some are non-recurring. If revenues are received above the adopted 2026
Original Budget, the excess shall be dedicated to backfill shortfalls in other General Fundrevenues first, and remaining excess revenue may be dedicated for any of the following purposes:Capital Improvement Program; Construction and Renovation Program, other one-time costs
I of 4
(including staffing expenditures to address retirement transitions), and for additional reserves to
backfill future revenue shortfalls from volatility. Certain non-recurring revenues that are intended
to pay for or reimburse the County for services it provides ( e.g., state extraordinary justice appropriation) may also be retained in the General Fund for those purposes.
6.Extraordinary Other Fund Revenues
The County is expected to establish a replacement reserve and emergency fund for the PortHadlock Sewer in an amount of not less than $500,000. The sewer project has generated
construction sales tax revenue and the majority of the construction is expected to be completed in
2025. The expectation is to fund by depositing up to $250,000 in 2025 and 2026.
7.Road Fund -If funding allows, the Board of County Commissioners may transfer a portion of
PIL T to the Road Fund to make up for as much as possible of any amount below $750,000 in
2026 that Secure Rural Schools or Federal Timber revenues contribute to the Road Fund. In 2026,$520,000 of the Road Fund levy shall continue to be diverted to the General Fund to be used onlyfor road traffic safety enforcement consistent with state law.
8.Board of County Commissioners Priorities -Priority for budget focus is to "maintain what wehave." This is clear communication of the Board of County Commissioners.
9.County Strategic Priorities -The County's Strategic Priorities, outlined in the County's
Strategic Plan, are important strategies as continued progress is being made in the areas of
community resilience, economic viability, environmental stewardship, housing accessibility,
organizational health, and thriving people.
10.Maximize Grant Funding -The County will continue to maximize its efforts to obtain grantfunding, whenever possible.

General Fund Financial Assistance Request
There are times financial support is necessary from the General Fund to assist operations or
expenditures funded by Special Revenue Funds. Primarily there are two basic categories that
may require assistance from the General Fund:
1)Negative cash flow below adequate fund balance to maintain operations, and
2)assistance for operational critical expenditures.
Requests for General Fund financial assistance are being reviewed during the annual budget
development. Select A or B, based on the reason for request and complete questions. Attach
supporting documentation as needed.
Return completed form to the Finance Manager.
A Operations assistance requested due to decreased revenue.
A request for operation assistance for Auditor’s O&M is due to significant and ongoing decline
in revenue.
1.Revenue for this fund is generated directly from recorded documents, with $2.00 allocated to
the fund for each recorded document, designated for document preservation. Since 2021, the
volume of recorded documents has decreased by nearly 50%. At the same time, the cost of
recording software maintenance and support agreements continues to rise by approximately 5%
annually.
2.The duration and extent of this revenue reduction are tied closely to broader economic
conditions and will fluctuate.
Please see the graphs below for a visual summary of the declining revenue trends and the rising costs of
software maintenance.
Revenue - $2.00 for each recorded document
Cost for the Recording software increases by 5% each year.

2.Duration of the reduction in revenue.
It is unclear whether this shortfall will be temporary or permanent. If local businesses choose to voluntarily comply, the
Deputy Fire Marshal position would be essentially fully funded.
3.Reason for reduced revenue.
Reduced revenue is primarily due to lower-than-expected participation in the Fire Marshal’s commercial inspection
program, resulting in significantly fewer businesses voluntarily complying and paying associated fees.

1.What is the revenue that is reduced?
The Office of the Fire Marshal within DCD launched a commercial inspection program in 2025 to ensure that local
businesses operate safely and in compliance with fire code. However, compliance has been lower than expected,
resulting in a current revenue shortfall of 86 percent, or nearly $85,000, in that department.

✔
✔
2.Explain the impact the expenditure will have on fund operations.
If these expenditures are not supported, DCD may experience reduced or eliminated capacity in critical programs.
Functions such as code compliance, long-range planning, and Fire Marshal activities could be significantly curtailed or
cease entirely, limiting the department’s ability to ensure community safety and maintain regulatory compliance.
3.Provide analysis of lacking adequate fund balance, revenue, and other expenditure adjustments to offset the
expenditure.
DCD currently lacks sufficient cash flow to cover the expenditures outlined above, and statutory restrictions prevent the
use of permit fees for long-range planning projects. To minimize the requested amount in the 2026 budget, the
department has reduced or eliminated non- discretionary spending wherever possible.
1.Define expenditure(s), providing expenditure details.
Almost all costs have increased across the board. Salaries are rising by three percent, DCD’s rent is increasing by
$10,495, the interfund transfer is up by $52,764, and vehicle costs have increased by 3.2 percent. Meanwhile, revenues
are not growing at the same rate.
In addition, DCD is not an enterprise fund, and many positions are not supported by fee revenue. Functions such
as Code Compliance, long-range planning, administration, and certain Fire Marshal responsibilities require
General Fund support to continue.

The justification for the increase to the General Fund Transfer is that parks and recreation is not expanding, rather costs to maintain the same level of service are going up. Specifically: (1) Interfund
Transfers - Parks and Recreation is not adding any additional staff, computers, maintenance equipment, or office space in 2026. The increases in Interfund Transfers are caused by increases in the costs of the forementioned resources. Cost allocation increases are determined by Central Services and Fleet Management. (2) The increases in Salaries and Benefits are written into various employment agreements. The increases in Interfund Transfers are caused by the increased costs of maintaining and operating equipment and buildings. (3) Without the increase in the General Fund transfer the fund
balance would be below the minimum required 10% reserve.
The total amount needed to offset increases in Interfund Transfers in 17457680, 17457520, & 57100 is $32,447. This amount has already been entered in the 2026 Budget Worksheet

MEMORANDUM
To: Josh Peters, County Administrator
Judy Shepherd, Finance Director
From: Monte Reinders, P.E., Public Works Director/County Engineer
Date: August 21, 2025
Subject: General Fund Request Documentation
The Board has historically transferred PILT funds from the General Fund to the Road Fund. In
2026, Resolution 48-0721-25R, Goal #7, states that the “Board of County Commissioners may
transfer a portion of the PILT to the Road Fund to make up for as much as possible of any
amount below $750,000 in 2026 that the Secure Rural Schools or Federal Timber revenues
contribute to the Road Fund.” This Goal recognizes several things:
1)County road maintenance/preservation is a high priority. Despite staff cuts of over 20%
and cuts to the chip seal program of over 50% and the addition of Transportation Benefit
District revenues in 2025, the Road Fund is still approaching its minimum cash reserve
limit (25% of operating expenses). This is entirely attributable to rampant inflation and
stagnant revenues – primarily property tax, motor vehicle fuel tax, and variable timber
tax. See attached chart.
2)There is a direct and inverse relationship between Secure Rural Schools (Federal Forest
Title I or “SRS”) and Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) revenues. When the SRS
program was gutted by the federal government in 2011, there was a corresponding
massive increase in the PILT revenues. SRS was only available for spending on county
roads. Unfortunately, at the time, Jefferson County failed to recognize this relationship
and did not offset the loss of SRS with its PILT windfall. This has been partially
corrected in more recent years and the PILT transfer Resolution 48-0721-25R, Goal #7,
attempts to do this. Note that the combined SRS and PILT amount of $750,000 in 2026
is still only about 50% of the roughly $1.4 million that SRS was generating prior to 2011.
A chart is attached showing the history of the SRS and PILT revenues for the County.
3)The General Fund benefits from cash infusions from the Road Fund. In 2025, the
Diversion from the Road Levy to the General Fund was $520,000. In 2026, this amount
is proposed to be $470,000.
4)Only Public Works, primarily Roads, pays for the indirect cost allocation plan. This is
for services such as County Administrator, Prosecuting Attorney, Auditor, Treasurer, etc.
This moves over $200,000 per year from the Road Fund to the General Fund.
5)The Roads program pays large sums for directly allocated costs such as computers,
telephones, copiers, office space leases, and Facilities services. These costs are real and
appropriate for the equipment and services Roads receives; however, this is one more
way the Road Fund contributes to the overall program which all of the County
departments rely on. These costs add up to nearly $250,000 each year.
6)The Road Fund pays its own Risk Pool insurance costs which have skyrocketed to nearly
$200,000 per year. General Fund departments do not pay directly for their insurance.

SUMMARY
•We will continue to physically inspect 1/6 of the County and statistically update the rest. We will add appropriate new construction to the rolls.
•We expect an increase in BOE appeals due to the drop in sales. Preparing appeal responses and inspecting property will involve a substantial amount of
appraisers' time.
•We will continue providing support and some auditing functions for the benefit assessment districts (FFPA, Clean Water, Noxious Weed, Septic, Drainage
District, Conservation District) in 2026, so that their fee assessments are applied according to appropriate criteria including exemptions.
•We will further advance the County's GIS system with enhancements and parcel fabric integration.
•Work with IT to upgrade the hardware/software for the PACS data and web servers in order to stay current with system support requirements.
•Address the parcels in current use and timber programs in order to have better tracking of documentation and compliance. Improve upon the assessment
system for current use so that it is more in line with expectations (farm rates, PBRS criteria).

The Auditor’s Office provides a principle support function in the auditing, recording and controlling of financial transactions in the County as prescribed by state
law. These include preparation and administration of the County budget and preparation of the annual financial report.

In the performance of these duties, the Auditor serves ex officio as deputy supervisor under the direction of the State Auditor.
The Payroll Division administers the County payroll and personnel benefit programs.The Auditor’s Office serves as custodian of public records. Documents recorded by the Recording Division include, but are not limited to, deeds, real estate
contracts, liens and other written instruments which are required by law to be filed in the County. The Recording Division also issues marriage licenses and accepts passport applications.
The Licensing Division operates as agent of the Director of the Washington State Department of Licensing. These functions include the sale of vehicle/vessel licenses, collection of license fees and taxes, transfer of ownership from one owner to another, and collection of load fees and permits. As an agent for the
Department of Revenue, the Auditor collects use tax on transfers of vehicles and vessels. *See Chapter 36.22 and 36.40 RCW
The Jefferson County Auditor’s Office is a dedicated and inspired team committed to delivering exceptional customer service.

Challenges
Instructions: Include non-
discretionary,

explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
Although we operate four distinctly different departments, the Auditor’s Office is unified in its approach to providing its customers with the highest quality service from trained, professional staff. We continue to look for ways in which to streamline our processes, incorporate technology and utilize sound management practices so that our services remain top notch.
The volume of vehicle/vessel transactions keep our staff busy. Whether they are assisting customers that come into our office, processing on-line renewals, completing transactions received by mail, our staff professionally and competently provide vital services to the residents of Jefferson County. We continue to
make the best use of technology in all areas of the Auditor’s Office. Some examples of technology and web enhanced services we provide include: viewing and
printing the Budget; renewing vehicle and vessel tabs online, Marriage License Applications; and other miscellaneous information for the Accounting, Licensing and Recording Divisions.
Accounting and Payroll:The Accounting and Payroll functions are now fully integrated within the Tyler MUNIS financial software system, streamlining both revenue and expense
management. As of January 1, 2023, the HR/Payroll module is live, and the Employee Self-Service (ESS) portal is operational, allowing staff to securely access
their Notice of Deposits and W-2 forms online.The Accounting team continues to receive targeted training to enhance internal processes, strengthen internal controls, and ensure the accurate preparation
of annual financial reports. Additionally, the department is in the process of implementing ACH Electronic Payments, further improving efficiency and reducing
reliance on paper checks.
Licensing:
The Licensing Division partners with the State of Washington to provide vehicle and vessel title and registration services to residents and businesses throughout Jefferson County. Despite operating in a high-volume transaction environment, the division remains committed to delivering outstanding customer
service. Customers are offered convenient access to services through online renewals, including direct links to renew vehicle registrations and submit a Seller’s
Report of Sale. As of July 2019, legislative changes shifted the funding model from a cost-reimbursement basis to a flat quarterly distribution, with all 39 Washington counties receiving equal payments. From July 2019 through June 2025, Jefferson County has received a total of $815,340.22 in quarterly revenue
from the Washington State Department of Licensing.
Recording:
The number of documents processed annually by the Recording Division is influenced by fluctuations in the local economy and interest rates. In response, the
division continuously adjusts its revenue projections to reflect these changing conditions. The Recording Division maintains strong collaborative relationships with key stakeholders, including county departments, land surveyors, lending institutions, title companies, and attorneys, to uphold its commitment to
exceptional customer service. A major initiative includes the continued expansion of the historical document indexing project, digitizing and indexing
documents from 1981 back to 1872 and making them accessible online. This greatly improves public access and preservation of historical records. Currently, eRecordings represent nearly 70% of all recording transactions. This shift has significantly reduced the handling of paper documents, enabled immediate
access to document images for lenders and title companies, and contributed to a reduced carbon footprint.
We continue to accept passport applications by appointment, providing an important and convenient service to the community.

2 drainage district elections in February, which are conducted manuallyMay: Candidate filing weekAugust: Primary Election (County-wide)November: General Election (County-wide)As always, we expect high voter turnout because Jefferson County resident actively participate in voting!
Voter Registration:Our statewide voter registration system continues to improve, providing better service to both the public and election administrators.Recent legilsation has introduced significant changes:Same-Day Registration: Voters can now register or update their registration right up until 8:00pm on election night. This is made possible by our statewide voter registration system VoteWA.Future Voter Registration: In Washington state, 16 and 17 year olds can sign up as Future Voters and be automatically registered to vote when they become eliglble. A voter who turns 18 between the August Primary and the November General Election can vote in the Primary.Automatic Voter Registration: This law makes voter registration automatic for individuals with a REAL-ID. For administrators, this creates a new type of Acknowledgement Notice that must be sent within 5 business days for any new registrations generated through enahnced ACR sources. Other existing acknowledgement notices and confirmation cardes remain unchanged and are still required.
Voter Outreach:As an educational agency on voter registration and the elections process, the elections division reaches out to schools providing resources for voter registration and mock elections.

General Fund Financial Assistance Request
There are times financial support is necessary from the General Fund to assist operations or
expenditures funded by Special Revenue Funds. Primarily there are two basic categories that
may require assistance from the General Fund:
1)Negative cash flow below adequate fund balance to maintain operations, and
2)assistance for operational critical expenditures.
Requests for General Fund financial assistance are being reviewed during the annual budget
development. Select A or B, based on the reason for request and complete questions. Attach
supporting documentation as needed.
Return completed form to the Finance Manager.
A Operations assistance requested due to decreased revenue.
A request for operation assistance for Auditor’s O&M is due to significant and ongoing decline
in revenue.
1.Revenue for this fund is generated directly from recorded documents, with $2.00 allocated to
the fund for each recorded document, designated for document preservation. Since 2021, the
volume of recorded documents has decreased by nearly 50%. At the same time, the cost of
recording software maintenance and support agreements continues to rise by approximately 5%
annually.
2.The duration and extent of this revenue reduction are tied closely to broader economic
conditions and will fluctuate.
Please see the graphs below for a visual summary of the declining revenue trends and the rising costs of
software maintenance.
Revenue - $2.00 for each recorded document

The Recording Division has expanded their project of indexing scanned documents for the years 1981 back to 1872, and uploading them to the Internet. We will continue to make all of our public records as accessible to the public as possible.
In 2015, replacement of the microfiche machines was required due to broken machines & poor quality along with not being able to get service or parts.
In 2016, an additional server was required –ran out of room; oracle no longer being supported had to move to sequel; eRecording came on line. The large
format scanner used to scan in large surveys was also replaced.
In 2016, we implemented electronic document recording, significantly streamlining the submission and processing of records. This advancement enabled
documents to be recorded within minutes, enhanced efficiency and reduced mailing costs.
We will continue to look for ways in which to streamline our processes, incorporate technology (i.e. e-recording) and utilize sound management practices to
maintain top notch services.

The County Clerk is a constitutional office created within the executivebranch is Article XI Section 5, and is the Ex-Officio Clerk of the Superior Court per Article IV Section 26 of the Washington State Constitution. The duties of the office appear in over one hundred RCW's, but are generally laid out in RCW 2 -Courts of
Record, and RCW 36.26 -County Clerk. In addition to statutory authorities and duties, state and local court rules also govern the functions of the Clerk.
The Clerk provides the public with access to a fair, accurate, and independently established record of the opinions, decisions and judgments of the Court. As the Court's agent, the Clerk collects statutory fees, fines, bond, and court registry funds, maintains a trust account for moniesreceived, and disburses monies as
ordered by the Court. The Clerk's presence is required at all court sessions for the purpose of establishing an independent record of each hearing, receiving and keeping a record of all evidence entered by the parties, and receiving jury verdicts. In addition, the Clerk plays a central role in the calling of impartially selected
potential jurors. Accuracy and efficiency are critical in the Clerk's Office.
The mission of the County Clerk is to protect the integrity of the judicial records of the Jefferson County Superior Court, while serving the public and legal community in a professional, efficient and timely matter. To that end, it is our goal to cultivate and honor impeccable qualities of ethics, knowledge and commitment to public service
in our staff.
Fulfill themission of the office of the County Clerk.
Stay abreast of new legislation and rules affecting the Clerk's statutory duties, and manage implemention of new processes in order to be in compliance.
Partner with District Court in implementing an upgrade to our decades old jury system, and associated public education regarding the update and changes.Continue to work with informationtechnology to strengthen real time digital access to records, with a goal of paperless files.
Develop our small staff and foster training, resiliance, health, safety, thereby making it a desirable place to work.
The Clerk is established in the Washington State Constitution as an independently elected office within the executive branch of government to maintain the records and
finances of the Superior Court, outside the direct control of the judicial and legislative branches. This seperation of powers in is a constitutional protection assuring the citizens of integrity and impartiality in the administration of the Court by making the Clerk directly accountable to the people.

graphs to tell the story.
In Washington state, there's a growing trend of legal financial obligations (LFOs) reform, focusing on reducing the burden of fines and fees on individuals convicted of crimes, especially those who are indigent.This includes eliminating or reducing certain mandatory fees. This year we have been wiping out all of our non-restitution juvenile LFOs as they are now uncollectable by law. Collection,DNA and certain penalty costs have been removed, and very few adult LFOs
are being ordered, so LFO related revenue is decreasing. Our child support grant amount is guided by how many support related documents we process each year. The amount is determined through a yearly audit with DCS, and the number of support related pleadings we received last year was down. While filing
fees were recently raised for the first time in years, the Clerks were only allocated $5 of a $50 increase. The increase does not apply to our numerous
protection order and anti-harassment cases, for which we collect little or no filing or copy fees.
While association dues and travel are considereddiscretionary expenditures, it enables planning and attendance for three important yearly conferences. The
three day spring conference focuses on education and in-person partnership and training with Administrative Office of the Courts staff. The week long summer conference focuses on professional development, process roundtables, committee reports and e-board business. The fall WACO conference focuses on county
government collaboration, legislative priorities, and a wide range of elected office professional development and education. These opportunites are vital to a
well run clerk's office, and mitigate risk. This clerk is entering the third year as an executive board member to our association, and in-person attendance at conferences is invaluable. In addition, a lot of important and useful information is shared by clerks during the time in-between scheduled programs.
The Clerk's Office has a pretty trim budget. Besides the technology that allows us to do our job, our greatest asset is our staff, and we continue to strive to do our best work with minimal budgetary impact to the county.

Case filings and hearings continue to trend up from Covid. Current staffing is stable to handle our workload, while accounting for leave taken.
While we are a one judge county (estimated judicial need is 1.63), regular weekly court calendars are heard by a court commissioner during jury
trials and heavy calendars, which requires administration to run two courts, and a deputy clerk has to be attendance for each docket.
While district court runs the jury program, our office processes the approximately 800 questionnaires for mailing each month,and the total
above represents both courts.A lot more qualification forms have been mailed in the past year (almost double) due to the low number of
returned forms, and not enough jurors available for both courts when needed. We anticipate being able to better utilize this staff time once our
new web-based jury program is operational.
Our .8 deputy clerk who serves as the courthouse facilitator generally spends every Wednesday in appointments.

Jefferson County has had a Courthouse Facilitator since 2003. The Washington State Courthouse Facilitator program was created in 1999, as part of a pilot program for family courts. RCW 26.12.240 and 26.12.802 and General Rule 27 create and govern the program, which is not a mandated service. The program
exists solely to assist parties of family law actions under Title 26, and now, parties to Title 11.130.165 guardianship actions.The authorities create a legal capacity for staff with proper training under GR27 to assist unrepresented litigants select pattern forms created by the state for this purpose, and assist with court
preparation, procedure and review of documents for filing. Local court rules dictate that self represented family law litigants must have their final paperwork reviewed by the courthouse facilitator prior to request for entry. This rules saves both the Court and litigants time by preventing issues with incomplete/incorrect
paperwork.
The mission of the Courthouse Facilitator is to simutaneously increase efficiency within the court, and improve access to justice for families who cannot afford legal counsel while going through a divorce, separation, custody, or child support dispute.
Treat all litigants with equal respect and positivity
Eliminate access to justice barriers for pro se litigantsProvide services as outlined in Facilitator handout
Reduce the burden on judicial officers by ensuring pro se litigants’ paperwork is in good order, motions are properly before the court, and compliance with state and local court rules
Participate in ongoing continuing education in family law as offered by AOC
Stay abreast of changes to court forms and update packets accordinglyParticipate in the Facilitator Advisory Committee, Coordinated Community Response and other job-related committees
Assist community partners where applicable (Dove House AdvocayCenter, schools, juvenile services, DCYF, etc.) in issues related to family lawContinually strive to improve our local processes with afocus on streamlining procedures, making local forms easier to use, conferring with judicial offices as to
procedural preferenceReduce the burden on clerk staff who aren’t trained in family law to assist with situations at the counter, by phone and email

We are fortunate to have a fully trained courthouse facilitator who has almost 20 years of service in this role. Self-representative litigants who utilize her services benefit greatly from her training, experience and expertise. In addition to appointments, she is available for general guidance and questions regarding family law matters, and spends approximately 3 hours a month supporting facilitator clients outside of appointment times.
This fund's revenue comes from two sources, appointment fees, and the sale of form packets and instructions.
Expenditures are mandatory training costs, office supplies associated with the program and packet assembly, as well as a yearly subscription fee for the
support calculation software utilized to help litigants accurately complete child support worksheets as required.

Jefferson County –County Administrator’s Office (CAO) Budget Summary
Budget Overview
Discretionary vs. Non-DiscretionaryDiscretionary funds represent less than 2% of the total budget and cover items such as limited overtime and professional development. Nearly all expenditures
are non-discretionary, tied to salaries, benefits, and legally required personnel costs.
Legal & Statutory Requirements
The County Administrator oversees all non-elected department directors, ensuring compliance with state and county laws. The Finance Director supports
financial reporting and accountability, while the Communications Specialist supports transparency and public engagement.
Revenue & Funding Challenges
The CAO budget is fully funded through the County’s general fund, leaving it sensitive to property tax, sales tax, and state-shared revenues. Personnel costs remain the largest expense drivers, with limited discretionary funds for flexibility.
Key Challenges Going Forward1. High Personnel Dependence: 98% of the budget tied to personnel.
2. Growing Demands: Finance and Communications roles are integral to transparency and accountability.
3. Revenue Volatility: General fund reliance exposes budget to economic fluctuations.4. Workload Balance: Commissioners’ staff also support the CAO, stretching resources.
ConclusionThe CAO serves as the County’s central hub for leadership, finance, and communications. With nearly all of its budget tied to non-discretionary personnel
costs, sustaining funding is essential to ensure transparency, accountability, and effective oversight.

Jefferson County BoCC Budget Summary
Discretionary vs. Non-DiscretionaryDiscretionary (D): Items such as overtime, training, travel, and equipment, representing only 1.3% of the budget.Non-Discretionary (ND): Personnel wages, benefits, insurance, and retirement, consuming nearly half the budget.
The three Commissioners represent Jefferson County on a wide range of boards and committees, where their active participationbrings valuable partnerships, advocacy, and resources back to the County. In addition, the Commissioners’ Office staff seek to maintain and strengthen their skills through professional development, which often requires in-person attendance at conferences and training sessions a few times each year. Supporting this travel ensures Jefferson
County remains well-represented and well-equipped to serve its residents.
Legal & Statutory RequirementsND costs are shaped by state and federal law, and operational necessities. These obligations restrict flexibility in budgeting.
Revenue & Funding ChallengesJefferson County revenues depend on property taxes, sales tax, and state/federal transfers, which fluctuate. Meanwhile, inflation and rising personnel costs create structural imbalances.
Key Challenges Going Forward1. Flexibility Constraint: Only 1.3% discretionary.2. Growing Personnel Costs: Rising salaries and benefits.
3. Overruns in ND Accounts.4. Anticipated 2026 Adjustments (reductions, reimbursement changes, consolidations).
Conclusion
Nearly half of hte BOCC budget is locked in ND costs, with just 1.3% available for discretionary spending. Long-term planning isessential.

Jefferson County Board of Equalization (BOE) Budget Summary
Budget Overview
Discretionary vs. Non-DiscretionaryDiscretionary funds are minimal, covering limited overtime and incidental costs, while nearly all expenditures are non-discretionary, tied to salaries and
benefits.
Legal & Statutory Requirements
RCW 84.48.010 requires the County legislative authority to form a Board of Equalization. This mandate drives the bulk of non-discretionary expenditures,
including staffing, administrative support, and compliance with property tax law.
Revenue & Funding Challenges
The BOE is fully funded through the County’s general fund and does not generate revenue. Rising personnel costs and the limited discretionary share leave little capacity to absorb unexpected expenses.
Key Challenges Going Forward1. Resource constraints with limited discretionary funds.
2. Rising personnel costs.
3. Potential increases in property appeals.4. Compliance with RCW requirements regardless of funding challenges.
ConclusionThe BOE operates within a highly constrained budget, with 98% of expenditures mandated by law. Support from the County will be essential to maintain fair,
timely, and impartial property assessment reviews.

Performance Explanation
The Board of Equalization plays a critical role in upholding public confidence in Jefferson County’s property tax system by ensuring that all
assessments are fair, accurate, and consistent with state law. Each year, the Board reviews and adjudicates property valuation appeals in a timely and impartial manner, scheduling hearings, coordinating site visits when necessary, and distributing written determinations to all parties.
Staff support is essential to maintaining accurate records of proceedings, managing communications, and ensuring compliance with statutory
deadlines. Performance is measured by the Board’s ability to process appeals within required timeframes, maintain transparency in its
proceedings, and treat every petitioner with fairness and respect. By doing so, the BOE safeguards both the integrity of the assessment process
and equitable treatment of taxpayers across Jefferson County.

Jefferson County –Community Services Fund Budget Summary
Budget Overview
Discretionary vs. Non-DiscretionaryThere are no discretionary funds in this budget. All allocations are contractual or legally required, including RCW-mandated domestic violence prevention
funding, community center support (Tri-Area, Quilcene, Brinnon, Port Townsend Senior Center, Gardiner), and Jefferson County Fair funding.
Legal & Statutory Requirements
Funding includes RCW-required domestic violence prevention support. Community center agreements are set to expire December 31, 2025, with a new RFP
planned for 2026. This ensures compliance with public contracting requirements but adds uncertainty in future allocations.
Revenue & Funding Challenges
Most funds are locked in agreements, leaving little flexibility to adjust mid-year. There will be an RFP issued for themanagement of some community centers.
Key Challenges Going Forward1. No Flexibility: 100% of funds are committed to contracts and statutory requirements.2. Agreement Renewals: Expiration of community center agreements in 2025 requires careful planning.
3. Overcommitted Budget: Expenditures exceed revenues.
4. Balancing Community Needs: Cuts could impact food banks, seniors, and domestic violence prevention programs.
ConclusionThe Community Services Fund is entirely non-discretionary, supporting essential community services but facing a structural imbalance. Strategic adjustments through the RFP process and review of fair funding will be necessary to align spending with revenues while safeguarding critical services.

thousands of participants and visitors.

2026 BUDGET
Per RCWs 2.48.200 and36.24.170,prohibits a prosecuting attorney from performing the services of the county coroner when the 2021 amnedments to RCW 36.16.030 went into effect on January 1, 2025. This shifted the responsibility as coroner from the office of the Prosecuting Attorney to a separate office for
Coroner. The County retained David Bradley to fulfill this new position.
To provide a clear, fair, and transparent investigation and to act with compassionand provide dignity to the families and decedents when investigating deaths, utilizing resources as necessary to provide an accurate cause of death.
Continue to developthis new department within the County.

The office of the Coroner is currently an appointed position.Due the changes the beginning January 2025, this position became separate from the prosecuting attorney. The 2025 year has been an opportunity for the county to understand the implications of hiring a coroner. Fortunately, David Bradley, owner of Koses-Bradley Funeral Home, has stepped up to fulfill this
position. For county populations of 40,000 or less, the RCW allows a funeral home director to operate as Coroner.
The coroner is responsible for conducting on scene and post mortem investigation to determine and document the cause and manner of death, identify the
deceased, and issue death certificates. The coroner also coordinates with law enforcement to gather information at the scene of death and may be required to testify in court.
2025 was the first year the County was required to fund salary and benefits for the position. Now that more is known about the position and what is needed to adequately employ a coroner, the budget is being challenged to increase. The autopsy rate is increasing from $1,500 to $2,000 per case. The coroner does not
perform autopsies; these contracted with an outside entity.

Overthe past three years, the General Fund has received revenues that have exceeded expecation, especially in the area of sales tax for the mulitple large state contruction projects in our county (i.e. fish passages, bridges, etc.). Many of these projects are coming to an end in 2025. The expectation for 2026 is a decrease in sales tax and timber revenue.
In light of this, there was a decision not to carry forward previous budget levels and was approved by the BoCC. The intent was for the funds requesting
assistance from the General Fund to adhere to the General Fund Financial Assistance Policy to fully substantiate the request for funds.

The biggest challenge is to weigh the impact of contracts, expenditures on the budget and the projects of the county commissioners that they deem most important based on community feedback. Each of our commissioners endeavor to serve their districts well and are most in tune with the communities they serve.
Beginning in 2025, preparing for the 2026 Budget, the totality of contracts paid by non-departmental were reviewed by the BoCC in public session. This proved
to be a beneficial discussion of the contract's impact between the board and staff. This has now been adopted as part of our budget process to review
annually.

Revenue reflects 2% "basic" as a credit against 6.5% state sales tax, 2% "special" tax levied locally, interest on amounts held at DOR until dibursement, and 1% Administrative fee from DOR. The sales tax collected is for room rentals reported in the unincoporated areas of Jefferson County. The budget for use of these
funds is developed by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC), consisting of the County and partners in collaboration with Jefferson County Treasurer.
This fund's balance is invested by the Treasurer which has resulted in an additional revenue stream for investment interest. This fluctuates with the economy and set interest rates.
The mission is to promote tourism in Jefferson County, including overnight lodgingand recreational activities.

Jefferson County District Court and Adult Probation Services including Behavioral Health Court
Jefferson County District Court is committed to providing equal justice for all persons. We provide just and expeditious resolution of legal matters. We aim to provide courteous and equal treatment to all in an atmosphere of mutual respect and dignity while maintaining the independence of the judiciary.
Adult Probation services help create a safe community by monitoring and holding adult misdemeanant offenders responsible for their behavior and actions, curtailing recidivism and fostering long-term positive change in those individuals under our supervision. We also provide outreach and resources to those individuals under our
supervision to help them re-engage in our local community and plan for a more positive and successful future.
Goals:
1.Continue to improve on our virtual services currently used for our daily court operations. Collaborate with Law and Justice Partners and county agencies
to improve our efficiency as a court.
2.Prepare and adopt the new case management system, Odyssey, from the Administrative Office of the Courts. This will require extra trainings and staff
time to prepare for the go-live event. May have impacts to all Justice Partners and other county agencies as we learn all of the new processes with the
system.
3.Utilize our electronic records management system for court records to reduce the need to use the Records Center for storage and retention of paper
records.
4.Increase our electronic records utilization to allow for e-filing by our Justice Partners and the general public and accelerate the distribution of signed
electronic records back to the filer.
5.Expand the number of participants eligible for our Behavioral Health Court treatment program by reaching out to Justice Partners to reduce our jail
population and allow first time offenders in Superior Court to have access to our services.
FUND/DEPARTMENT:District Court
6.Continue to provide either in person or virtual training to Court and Probation staff to improve services to the citizens of Jefferson County and adopt best
practices in the areas of supervision of misdemeanants in our community.
7.Finalize the upgrade the Jury Management Systems to an online format which will allow for greater accessibility and interaction with prospective jurors.
Continue to capture Juror Demographic information to increase transparency in our jury pools and use any data to help increase jury diversity.
8.Finalize all identified Blake related cases orders and submit findings to the Administrative Office of the Courts for 3rd party refunds. Collaborate with
Justice Partners to perform outreach to affected Blake individuals who are owed refunds and provide technical assistance to those parties.

SUMMARY

and Expenditure
Challenges

explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
Jefferson County District Court continues to experience the slow growth and restrictions that has touched all courts across the State. District court is in recovery mode from the changes that COVID-19 brought to the criminal justice system. Civil enforcement actions for debts incurred before and during the pandemic are still slow and ongoing. Many law suits were put on hold and have new requirements to follow in relation to changing legislation and the
agencies understanding that people are still trying to recover financially from the pandemic.
Law enforcement staffing fluctuations are still a direct impact on the District Court filings and work load. We are starting tosee a slow increase in these
numbers as law enforcement agencies bring on new staff, but we still are lower than before.
District Court is still experiencing an increase in the number of citizens who require fee waivers and other accommodations due to financial hardship. Many of
the individuals that interact with the Court have continued to feel the impacts of the pandemic, rising cost of living, hour reduction at their jobs or unemployment and inflation. Individuals are applying for public defenders for criminal cases and fee waivers for civil filings at a greater rate. As a result of the
determination of indigency and changes in law, these individuals are not eligible for most of the state costs that could be imposed.
Our probation department is feeling the impacts of these changes as well. Many of our clients are having to wait longer for services at treatment agencies and
are not able to quickly receive the support that they need to address the various issues that brought them to the Court’s attention. This has increased
complications for individuals facing criminal charges and the length of time between the filing of a case and disposition.
It was previously reported that the Blake ruling and subsequent bills would have a strong impact on the court. We are proud to say that we are one of the few
courts that have processed and submitted the financial declarations to the State for the Blake affected individuals. We have now pivoted in our efforts from processing the paperwork to notifying those individuals about their pending refunds. Court staff have been invited onto a state wide task force to help address
the Blake ruling and help provide training, outreach and support as other courts attack this large effort.
Despite all of these challenges, District Court continues to make strides toward increased accessibility to citizens of Jefferson County. We continue to operate
and offer virtual hearings to court participants for almost every type of hearing held in District Court. This valuable toolincreases participation and
appearances in Court. This allows greater access and flexibility to our Jefferson County residents as well as out of county/state individuals who wish to appear for a hearing. In particular, we have seen improved attendance from individuals coming to court for a traffic violation for whom driving from more rural areas
of the county would create a financial hardship. A significant portion of our legal counsel appear via the Zoom platform of our hearings.
By increasing our ability to hold virtual hearings for individuals needing interpreter services, District Court has been able toapply and fully spend down the
Language Access and Interpreter Reimbursement Program Interagency Agreement with the Administrative Office of the Courts. By utilizing the Zoom platform
has allowed District Court to increase the availability of court interpreters and the languages offered, increasing court access to court proceedings. Approximately 90% of our court interpreters appear virtually for our court hearings. Each year we have been selected for this interagency agreement and
received the maximum money eligible for a county of our size. District Court has subsequently maxed out the award each year and the last two year have been
awarded additional funds mid-agreement cycle.

District Court filings are totally dependent upon the law and justice partners along with civil attorneys to file into the court. The
efforts to hire additional law enforcement officers and the everchanging landscape of how law enforcement can act has not led to the
expected increase in traffic and criminal filings. It has been reported to District Court staff that our local law enforcement agencies are
still short staffed and experiencing turn over.
Our protection orders have been down due to changes in the state law to allow more filings in Superior Court. We have increased
communication and education with our local justice partners and social service agencies to direct filers to the correct court to file those requests for protection order.

Therapeutic Courts -Behavioral Health Court (District Court, Drug Court (Superior Court) Family Therapuetic Court (Superior Court).
Jefferson County runs three Therapeutic Court programs. Behavioral Health Court and Drug Court are an innovative alternative to incarceration with emphasis on accountability and intensive support for individuals charged with misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors, and felonies. These courts removes defendants from the
courtrooms of the traditional criminal justice system, and places them in a new type of courtroom environment. In this environment, participants are required to participate in treatment and counseling, make regular appearances before the judge and are monitored closely for program compliance. While these two courts may vary widely in scope, organization and points of intervention, all share an underlying premise that crimes committed by a person with a mental health diagnosis and/or
substance use disorder is not simply a law enforcement or criminal justice problem, but also a public health concern. Family Therapeutic Court strives to assist parents in successfully navigating the successful closure of their Dependency cases and reunite with their children. FTC provides a team of support services to assist parents in
working through their case plan and creating interventions that support the parent in improving the quality of their lives. The Therapeutic Court programs see the court, specifically the judge, as filling a role that goes beyond that of adjudication.

-The Jefferson County Therapeutic Courts worked with the Administrative Office of the Courts to develop a system to refer Superior Court participants to Behavioral Health Court and District Court participants to Drug Court, which has not been a process we have worked under before.We have successfully been able to refer Superior Court cases to Behavioral Health Court.
-In Family Therapeutic Court we are transitioning to a new format to replace the current Juvenile Dependency Calendar. Under the leadership of
Commissioner Lorraine Rimson, we will apply many Family Therapeutic Court principals to most if not all open dependency cases. Each parent will get the benefits of working with a therapuetic court team. There will be no distriction between Family Therapuetic Court and Dependency Court. It will be called the
Unified Dependency Calendar.
-After updating our phase systems and incorporating best practives, we plan to continue to study evidence based practices and continue to update our
manuals and service delivery.
-Many of the people that the Therapeutic Courts serve are in need of a high level of care, especially in the beginning of the program, or even while they are
incarcerated and right after release. We are looking into multiple funding streams to explore the possibility of getting a therapist that is dedicated to the
Therapeutic Court caseload. That would allow us to provide a greater level of mental health care to participants throughout their progress in the program.

Services:
Juvenile Court and Family Services provides a variety of state-funded, research-based programs designed to support court-involved youth. These
programs include the Case Management Assessment Process, Individual Alternative Choice Training (i-ACT), Employment Education Training
(EET), Connect (COS), and in-home family counseling. In addition to these core services, the office relies heavily on community partners for
additional referral options. The delivery of services from the point of entry to exit is carefully matched to each youth and family based on a
validated risk needs assessment that is used throughout the state. To maintain high standards, the office participates in quality assurance activities for all programs, which include video submissions of facilitation, ongoing monitoring, data entry, and training. The State of Washington
employs Performance Based Contracting, adding another layer of quality assurance that ties grant funding to the number of youth served, the
quality of services provided, and active participation in data collection. On the court-involved side, the office also provides detention services
under contracts in Clallam and Kitsap counties, VCheck monitoring, and transportation to and from detention during business hours.
On the civil side, the office provides Guardian ad Litem services to dependent youth and supports families through Becca referrals, which address
matters such as At-Risk Youth, Truancy, and Children in Need of Services (CHINS). The office prioritizes early engagement with families, honoring their perspectives on how to proceed and which services they believe will be most helpful. Notably, no family or youth seeking assistance is ever
turned away.
Key Funding Consideration #1 -Filling of vacant juvenile probation counselor position:
We have a vacant JPC II position since August of 2021. Even though, I am not currently in need of the position, referrals have been steadily
increasing upwards (50% expected in 2025) and should our caseloads become too high, I would need this position. Right now I am monitoring
referral to caseload data and seeing where it plateaus. I have two new Juvenile Probation Counselors (JPC) that are hitting their training stride as
caseloads increase and a new Civil Dependency Manager that has trained along side the JPCs in order to handle the overflow if needed. Also of concern with eliminating the vacant position, is legislatively there has been a push for 18-20 year olds to be monitored by Juvenile Services. This
almost passed last year, which would require the vacant position to be filled specifically to monitor this new age bracket. My conservative
approach is to keep the position and not use it until it is clearly needed.
Key Funding Issue #2 -June 2025 Closure of Proctor House and Budget Implications
In June 2025, the Proctor House program was closed after 20 years of service. The facility had provided program facilitation,detention housing
for court-involved youth, a study lounge for truant youth, and transportation for youth being arrested (regardless of time), as well as
transportation to and from court, treatment, and community-based appointments. The facility was equipped with vehicles, insurance, and
respite staff. The collaboration between Proctor House and our office had been seamless.
With the closure of the facility, staff, and transportation services, Juvenile Services is entering a period of transition and adjustment. Efforts are underway to anticipate and address the service gaps resulting from the loss of this long-standing program.
To address a significant portion of these gaps, we have contracted with Kelli Parcher, Inc. This contract allows for continued service provision and
some programmatic stability. Ms. Parcher is currently providing transportation for youth to and from detention and court during business hours.
Law enforcement will provide transport for fresh arrests occurring outside of business hours.
In addition, Ms. Parcher will oversee the VCheck program—our GPS home monitoring alternative to detention.She will facilitate 1–2 youth in
the i-ACT program, manage targets for Employment Education Training program and Connect, which are state-funded and reimbursable.
001-110 Narrative.xlsx Page 2 of 4 9/26/2025
2026 Budget
Despite these contracted services, Juvenile Services will provide transport when Ms. Parcher is unavailable and supplemental transportation for
community appointments and other ongoing service needs. We are also in the process of replacing our current transport vehicle, which is outdated and inadequately equipped. Procurement of a new vehicle is underway.
These changes will impact the FY2026 budget. Budget allocations previously designated for the Proctor House Facilities and Alt Detention
Lease/Respite will be redirected to support the purchase and fleet addition of a new vehicle, contracted services through Kelli Parcher, Inc., and
additional detention-related costs following the facility’s closure. Even with the reallocation of funds from Proctor House Facilities and Alt
Detention Lease/Respite expense lines, I will have a significant reduction in overall expenses (aproxiemently 15%) All other budget
expenditures (outside of the 15% reduction) will be non-discretionary, at least until we are fully adjusted and gaps in services are covered.
Key Funding Consideration #3 -Becca Dollars have been reduced Statewide.
For State FY2026–2027, BECCA funding has been reduced statewide from $7 million to $2 million.
This $5 million reduction represents a 70% funding cut for all counties. Jefferson County’s allocation was reduced by $22,000, significantly
impacting services provided to our truancy population. Importantly, no legislative mandates were changed despite the funding decrease.
This reduction presents continued challenges in maintaining essential prevention services and professional support for youth in need of individual
counseling, family counseling, and case management. Supporting these youth in identifying and pursuing educational and career goals remains a
critical priority for the overall well-being and success of Jefferson County.This is another consideration in not reducing important professional service lines in my budget.
Key Funding Consideration #4 -Positive Revenue in the Special Purpose Sales Tax
As in years past, the revenue from the Special Purpose Sales Tax has a percentage that is identified for local juvenile justice programming, specifically, one Juvenile Probation Officer, support staff for diversion costs in criminal justice departement. In 2026 the precentage amount for
this service is $142,360. It has never been a practice to include this in our budget as a revenue, but it is something to take note of as we have
staff wages/benefits and professional services dedicated to our Diversion population. Diversion is a non-court program that allows a juvenile with a chargeable offense to avoid court and instead create a service agreement with Juvenile Services. This is a collaborative process with
intention to provide prevention and increase the youth's strengths. It is legislatively mandated without any funding allocated by the State.
Along with the above revenue, I also get funds from the DCYF-JR through a Block Grant and Evidence Based Expansion Grant. These both are for court involved moderate and high risk youth. I receive Guardian ad Litem funds, Becca funds, and Family Juvenile Court Improvement Project
funds from AOC. I have applied and received an allotment of 1/10 of 1% funds for referred youth and Becca youth that allows for individual and
family counseling without a court appearance. All revenue amounts are included in the Juvenile Service's Budget.

STAFFING
Juvenile Services in Washington State is unique in that each county participates in a standardized case management system, which
includes a state-validated risk, need, and strengths assessment. This assessment guides the Juvenile Probation Counselor (JPC) in
developing responsive, research-based case plans. The State provides a dashboard to monitor effectiveness in program initiation,
completion, and quality assurance. Jefferson County consistently scores “green” across all categories, enabling incremental funding
increases that support the delivery of essential client services.
We offer three researched-based programs in-house as well as provide referrals to community agencies. I advanced from the JPC
role to Director and while I was a JPC contracted with the State to develop curriculum, ensuring the highest quility of program
delivery which increases the effectiveness of each program.
I have attached Juvenile Service's flow staffing flow chart. Currently we have 7 staff full time with one vacant Juvenile Probation
Counselor position. This position became vacant during COVID years and has not been filled due to caseload size not requiring it.
At this point I would request the position remain vacant as caseloads for court involved youth are increasing and with the Proctor
House being closed, I may become necessary to fill the position. I believe the next two years will be crucial to predicting trends.

SUMMARY
Key Funding
and Expenditure
Challenges
Instructions: Include non-
discretionary,
discretionary
explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
Divisions:There are three divisions within the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office (PAO), the Criminal Division, the Civil Division,and the Coroner Division.The lawyers and staff in all the divisions are essential to county operations.In all the divisions, deputy prosecuting attorneys (DPAs) regularly provide legal advice that minimizes legal liability of the county.All DPAs serve as deputy coroners, additionally two non-attorneys in the office have also been deputized as deputy
coroners.Requirements to be a Prosecutor:All the DPAs must be admitted to practice law.Generally, to be admitted to practice law, a person must have a bachelor’s
degree and a juris doctor degree.Typically, this means at least seven years of formal education after high school.Lawyers must also pass a bar exam, which
requires a basic level of knowledge on many legal topics.To maintain their law licenses, all lawyers in Washington State must complete 45 hours of continuing legal education every three years.
Criminal Division:The criminal DPAs are the government lawyers that charge and try cases against individuals accused of crimes.Criminal DPAs routinely train
and advise law enforcement on use of force, and the lawfulness of searches or seizures which are areas of great legal exposure for the county.While some of this advice and training takes place during business hours, the majority of it takes place over the phone, often late at night or early in the morning, while DPA’s
are home with their families.
The prosecution team works with law enforcement to protect the community, rehabilitate offenders, hold offenders accountable,and make victims of crime feel like someone in the system cares about them.On a daily basis, criminal DPAs and victim advocates interact with people who are having the worst day of
their life.Staff listen to victim's concerns, apologize for what they are going through, and then do everything they can to make the victim feel that justice has
been served.This is sometimes an impossible task; if a loved one has been murdered or a person has been the victim of a violent crime, nothing can fix the damage that has been done.This is a stressful duty that never ends; as soon as one case is closed, we move on to the next.
Civil Division:The Civil Division is responsible for handling the legal aspects of all civil litigation, legislation, and transactions of the county. In addition, the Civil
Division handles child support enforcement, extreme risk protection orders, firearms rights restorations, involuntary mental health placements.The Civil Division provides advice and legal opinions on a wide range of issues, the bulk of which involves land use, legislation, contracts, compliance with state law and
county code, risk management, public meetings, and public records. The Civil Division works with colleagues in various countydepartments, including county
administration, auditor, assessor, human resources, public records, sheriff, and treasurer. The civil department teaches the rule of law to the BoCC, the county administrator, department heads, elected officials, key county employees, and the public.The Chief Civil DPA is essentially the general counsel for the county.
The Civil Division includes one chief, one civil deputy, two legal professionals and outside counsel.Outside counsel are supervised by the Chief Civil DPA.The
second civil DPA was added in March 2019 after the BoCC recognized that one DPA could not cover all the duties of the Civil Division.After the second civil DPA was added, the duties of the Civil Division were increased to include child support enforcement, extreme risk protection orders, InvoluntaryTreatment
Act cases, and firearms rights restorations.These additional duties consume a large volume of time and directly protect the community.
Non-discretionary budget lines fund mandatory attorney training, bar dues, and case management software.

2026 Budget SUMMARY
Key Funding
and Expenditure
Challenges
Instructions: Include non-
discretionary,
discretionary
explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
The Sheriff's Office continues to do its best to provide the highest level of service, serving 33,000+ citizens
(with increased numbers during the summer months), in an area encompassing 1800 square miles separated
between east Jefferson and west Jefferson County, of land and 300 miles of waterways, 24/7, 365 days a
year in both road patrol and corrections.
Keys funding challenge areas are
Jail Medical-NON DISCRETIONARY to ensure the health of persons in our jail facility we have an
onsite nurse to care for rising medical needs, the contract price for this is $357,974 although prior year
budget only allowed for $171,306.
ER&R fleet costs-NON DISCRETIONARY-to ensure our ability to respond across our county for emergencies
its important to have a dependable fleet of vehicles that are adequately maintained. For the past several
years our rates have increased substantially due to several variables. At the end of last year our budget was
severely reduced to absorb the increase in fleet costs. As an example our fleet costs have risen from
$549,720 in 2021 to a projected $709,000 in 2026.
001-180 Narrative Template 2026.xlsx Page 2 of 4 9/29/2025
2026 Budget
Training Overtime-NON DISCRETIONARY-every year Washington state requires additional
training for law enforcement, this training requires overtime to cover patrol shifts or to attend the
mandatory training. Deputy and Sergeant pay rates were increased last year but our budget was not
increased to offset the pay increase. For the past several years we have exceeded our budgeted amount of
overtime money for training. We need a realistic budget to cover the expense of this necessary training.

FUND/DEPARTMENT: 107 Boat Safety Program JCSO
This program is a cooperative intergovernment agreement between Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department to enhance and enforce boating safety per RCW 88.02650 WAC 352-65.010. For every year the agreement is signed AND the funds are used,
the following years the award amounts will keep increasing.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, in partnership with our community, is committed to preserving the peace, helping those in need and protecting the constitutional
rights of all.
Ensure responsible fiscal management of vessel registration fees, grant monies and operating general fund transfers, the latter required by the intergovernmental
agreement. Maintain two boats in local marinas, with a third boat on a trailer for deployment in local lakes as needed. Replace defective equipment and perform
regular maintenance on our vessels. Maintain a presence on the water at peak intervals to include, summer months as well as fishing and shellfish openings. Maintain a
presence off the water with boating safety information and supplies at the fair, parades, schools and other community gatherings. Train with the local fire departments,
US Coast Guard and the Naval Base for joint emergency operations, including but not limited to, water rescues, boat fires and responses after natural disasters. Ensure
our Marine staff is properly trained and meeting the requirements of the Intergovernmental Agreement.

2026 Budget
SUMMARY
Key Funding
and Expenditure
Challenges
Instructions: Include non-
discretionary,
discretionary
explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
Key Funding 1 -Equiptment Funding
Funding for Keyless Card-Swipe Entry System and Installation. The layout of our historic building presents significant security challenges. In particular, inmates are frequently transported to and from the Superior Courtroom through the hallway that runs between the County Clerk’s Office and the Superior
Court Offices. Currently, access to the Superior Court Offices is secured with a traditional key system. This scenario forces staff to need to use inefficient keys
when trying to enter Superior Court offices, or more commonly, for the Superior Court's door to be left unlocked. This creates situations that may compromise both the safety of the staff from the court and Clerk's Office as well as the safety of our Civil Deputies. Installing keyless card-swipe access will improve
efficiency and safety when accessing Superior Court offices. This is also a recommended security measure from the AdministrativeOffice of the Court's security audit of 2025. We expect to use monies allocated to Object 480000 to fund this improvement.
Funding for small, quiet printer station for Administrator's use in courtroom. Superior Court has been working to modernize outdated, costly, and time-consuming processes within the department. One significant improvement was the discontinueduse of expensive, handwritten triplicate forms previously
used to set trial schedules in criminal matters.
The triplicate form system had several disadvantages: the forms were often difficult to read, time-consuming to prepare, and financially wasteful, since any deviation made during a hearing required discarding the form and starting over. The only advantage was that they did not require access to the printer.
Our new process allows the Court Administrator to type Trial Setting Forms during hearings and print them immediately for presentation to the court, and for
a clean readable copy for the defendant. This change has resolved many of the problems associated with the triplicate forms. However, the courtroom is not
currently equipped to fully support this process. At present, there is only one large network printer located near the Court Clerk. As a result, the administrator must repeatedly walk between the Bench and the Parties to retrieve documents, creating unnecessary disruptions during proceedings. Setting up a printing
station for the Court Administrator will improve courtroom efficiency and eliminate unnecessary distractions. We expect to use monies allocated to Object
480000 to fund this improvement.
Key Funding 2 -Obtain funding for a part-time Assistant Court Administrator.
Currently, Superior Court has only one administrative position—the Court Administrator. The previous Court Administrator, Sophie Nordstrom, accumulated an unusually large amount of PTO because it was difficult for her to take time off without backup support. While Clerk Hires have occasionally stepped in to
assist with administrative duties, this model has proven ineffective. The work is complex, detail-oriented, and must be performed accurately to comply with
statutory requirements—something that requires both training and continuity.
At present, we have one Bailiff who is willing and reasonably comfortable assisting with administrative responsibilities. However, her own work schedule takes
priority, limiting her availability to provide consistent support. As a result, our staffing structure does not allow the Court Administrator the flexibility to take even a sick day without significant disruption to court operations.
To establish a sustainable staffing model, Superior Court requires a part-time administrative position. This role would not only provide essential coverage and support for the Court Administrator but would also allow the Administrator to focus on critical long-term projects, such as updating the Superior Court
website, updating the Local Court Rules, and implementing process improvements.
Key Funding 3 -Obtain Appropriate Funding
Funding for Object 490000 Dues, Subscriptions.This budget line currently covers three key expenses: Superior Court’s monthly Zoom subscription, the annual
dues for AV Capture (which costs roughly $1700 yearly for access to recording equipment in the BOCC), and the yearly professional association dues for the Judge, Commissioner, and Court Administrator. The allocated funding of $2,543 is insufficient and has been significantly over budget for the past three years.
For example, the Zoom subscription alone costs $4,176 annually, nearly double the entire budget line.
Zoom Subscription –Critical to Court Operations. The use of Zoom in the courtroom to facilitate remote appearances provides substantial
benefits. It enhances accessibility and convenience by reducing travel time and costs for litigants, attorneys, and witnesses; it improves access to justice for
individuals in rural areas or with limited transportation, and improves participation for those with disabilities or caregiving responsibilities. Zoom also increases efficiency by streamlining scheduling, reducing late arrivals and no-shows, and accelerating the handling of routine matters such as status conferences and
motions.In addition, remote appearances generate cost savings by lowering facility, security, and staffing expenses while also reducing travel-related costs for
001-240 Narrative 2026.xlsx Page 2 of 4 9/29/2025
2026 Budget
attorneys, clients, and agencies. Safety is improved as well, since remote participation minimizes exposure during public health emergencies and decreases
risks associated with inmate transport. Broader participation is made possible by allowing expert witnesses to testify remotely and enabling family members
and interpreters to join proceedings from different locations. Finally, the use of Zoom contributes to the modernization of the court system by promoting the adoption of updated technology and demonstrating responsiveness to evolving community and legal needs.For these reasons, continuing to provide Zoom
access is both necessary and justified, despite the cost. Other courts have experiented with possibly more cost effective platforms such as Microsoft Teams,
and have found them to be inadequate considering the public's level of comfort and experience with Zoom.
Professional Association Dues –Essential for Court Staff.This budget line also covers professional association dues for judicial officers and administrative
staff. Membership in these associations is critical to maintaining professional standards and ensuring effective court operations. These memberships provide significant benefits, including access to professional development through training, certifications, and workshops, as well as opportunities to stay current with
changes in law, policy, and best practices. They also foster leadership and mentorship opportunities that strengthen the court’s capacity.These professional
membership provide valuable access to resources such as newsletters, journals, and research on emerging issues, as well as practical toolkits, templates, and guides that enhance efficiency. These organizations also provide timely updates on legislative and policy changes that directly affect court operations.
The current allocation for object 490000 does not reflect the true and ongoing costs of maintaining essential court services and professional memberships. Adjusting this budget line is necessary to ensure Superior Court can continue to provide accessible, efficient, and modernized justice while also supporting the
professional development of its staff.
Funding for 410160 Interpreter -This budget line covers all mandated interpretation services provided by Superior Court. Washington State law requires
courts to provide interpreters under RCW 2.43 (for non-English speakers) and RCW 2.42 (for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing). These statutes
ensure that qualified interpreters are appointed in legal proceedings, guaranteeing meaningful access to justice.The current allocation of $3,162 is far below actual needs. Year-to-date expenditures are $7,032, and this will rise substantially in October during a four-week
criminal trial involving a non-English-speaking defendant. Historical expenditures highlight the funding gap: $14,188.75 in 2024 and $30,384.82 in 2023.
Key Funding 4 -Internet for Jury Room. One of the ongoing challenges of working in this historic courthouse is the lack of adequate office space. At
present, there is no appropriate office for Rebecca Marriott, the Therapeutic Court Coordinator. Her role requires a quiet, private environment to conduct
sensitive conversations with and about therapeutic court participants. However, due to the lack of available space in either the Superior Court or District Court offices, Rebecca has been forced to use a small closet beneath the stairs as a makeshift office—the only private space currently available. This arrangement is
not sustainable and does not reflect the professional standards required for this critical position.
Providing internet access in the Jury Room would create a much more appropriate alternative solution (providedno jury trial is in process). This space would allow Rebecca to work privately while remaining close to both the District and Superior Court offices she serves, and it would offer the added benefit of
natural light—something not available in her current makeshift workspace. This adjustment would not only improve working conditions for Rebecca, but also
strengthen the court’s ability to support therapeutic court participants effectively.

The performance of the court is measured by its ability to deliver justice effectively and in a timely manner, thereby fulfilling its statutory responsibilities. However, certain critical areas have not received the necessary investment. A major opportunity for improvement is the complete overhaul and modernization of the court’s website. An updated website would expand public access to court information, improve transparency, and streamline services for litigants, attorneys, and the community.
At present, staffing limitations prevent meaningful progress on this, and other projects. Without appropriatestaffing, essential updates remain delayed, and the website continues to operate below modern standards. Allocating funding for staffingis necessary to ensure the court can provide the level of accessibility and efficiency that the public expects, while also reducingthe administrative burden on court staff.

discretionary
explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
While there are notable funding challenges in 2025, these issues are not expected to continue into 2026.
Historically, the County has maintained the Law Library in both digital and print formats. The digital resource, Westlaw, serves as the primary legal research tool for the court, attorneys, and self-represented litigants, and is the most common way users access the Law Library. However, access to Westlaw can
occasionally be interrupted due to factors such as power or internet outages. During these times, printed resources are essential to ensure the continued
administration of justice.
In recent years, the printed materials in the Law Libary had become outdated as the Court pursued a transition to a digital-only model. While digital access is
highly effective under normal circumstances, it is dependent on internet availability. In 2025 alone, there have been multiple instances where Westlaw was unavailable due to circumstances beyond the Court's control. In such situations, the print Law Library remains a constant and reliable resource.
To address this need, the Law Library was fully updated in April 2025 with an up-to-date set of hardbound RCWs (Revised Code of Washington) to serve as secondary resource when Westlaw is inaccessible. The one-time cost for this update was $8,336.29.
Yearly, this fund receives a budgeted revenue of $11,591.00. A transfer from the general fund in the amount of $6000.00 is required to cover actual remaining costs of maintaining the Law Library.

SUMMARY
Key Funding
and Expenditure
Challenges
While Treasurer duties and financial administration are seemingly static, they are constantly changing with State Auditor requirements, legislative mandates
and technology changes. Along with providing customer service and maintaining records in compliance with the public records act, staffing is our greatest
asset for compLiance and office success. Building our team, providing training opportunities and enforcing mandatory time off are necessary to support professional develpoment and meet internal controls.
Technology and automation, while providing more flexibility,adaptability and data accessibility, come with additional financial and staffing investment. Changes have been accommodated with existing staff, and we've been fortunate to have training of new staff by retiring staff.
Opportunities for career advancement and salary increases within the county and at other governmental entities on the Olympic Peninsula are our greatest threat to retaining staff and minimizing staff turnover.

JeffCom has a bond indebtedness with the county as a carryover from when JeffCom was a county department. Managing the 119 Fund provides sales tax revenue
designated for Emergency Communications be properly distributed and used to pay indebtedness. Sales tax revenue will be reservedfor bond payments with the balance distributed to JeffCom for operations. A 5% reserve will be maintained at year end, and sufficient funds will be collected monthly to maintain a positive fund
balance throughout the year. Debt obligation exists through November 2030.
JeffCom Capital Fund was established February 7, 2011 per Resolution 04-11. A 5% reserve is required per Resolution 63-11 on December 12, 2011 along with other county fund reserve amounts. Resolution 53-12 established JeffCom as a separate entity effective Oct 1, 2012, and fund numbers were established for 671-000-010
(JeffCom General) and 672-000-010 (JeffCom Capital). The existing fund JeffCom Capital Fund 119-000-010 was to remain in use as JeffCom Bond Indebtedness Fund. With the Munis ERP financial system implementation, Fund 119 remains and JeffCom's fund number changed to 659.
To manage collection and reservation of sufficient communication sales tax for JeffCom debt obligation and to make debt payments on time and per schedule.
1. Manage the fund with the monthly sales tax distribution.
2. Maintain a 5% reserve based on indebtedness3. Pay bond debt in a timely, accurate fashion.
4. Collect sufficient amount to preclude a negative fund balance for bond payment in November each year given sales tax has been collected for only ten monthswhen the second and full payment is due for the year.

The Treasurer's Operation & Maintenance Fund provides for recovery of direct costs of foreclosure and sale of real property for delinquent taxes.
Funds must be used by the county treasurer as a revolving fund to defray the cost of further foreclosure, distraint, and sale because of delinquent taxes without regard to budget limitations and not subject to indirect costs of other charges, RCW 84.56.020.Tax foreclosure along with penalties and interest are the only mechanisms in
state law to ensure collection of property taxes for the benefit of our county operations and districts.
To manage the foreclosure and distraint processes in a professional and timely manner, protect county revenue by maintaining delinquencies at a low rate, and assist
taxpayers wherever possible to connect with resources and options to pay property taxes and retain ownership.
Goals:
1. Continually improve collection with training and technology advances.2. Cross-train staff to allow for increased coverage and ability to the assist public.
Objectives:
1. Educate taxpayers on the options that may be available to them for foreclosure avoidance.2. Maintain foreclosure/distraint properties at <4% of total parcels3. Have less than 30 real properties filed in court for foreclosure.
4. Have less than 20 personal properties filed with court for distraint.5.. Sell all properties in auction process to minimizethe number of tax title properties held in trust by the county.

SUMMARY
Key Funding
and Expenditure
Challenges
Funding of this program relies on properties in the foreclosure process and primarily from payment from taxpayers already struggling to pay property taxes.
Our office's aim is to collect amounts due and assist people with avoiding foreclosure. Achieving collection from all taxpayersand avoiding foreclosure is our
first priority. As a result, the better we are at achieving this goal, the lower the revenue for this program.
The foreclosure process leads to large up-front expenditures with much of the cost recovery after the foreclosure auction sale and redemption of foreclosed
parcels in December. Maintaining revenue and expense balance as well as sufficient ending fund balance requires a sufficient fund balance at the start of each year to pay for the next year's process. We strive to collect property taxes and remove people from the foreclosure process in advance of foreclosure sale.
Collecting fees covering four months wages of the Foreclosure Avoidance Deputy is intended to alleviate Treasurer’s budget in Current Expense.
Title report costs have increased significantly for foreclosure properties in recent years. Costs are recovered at time of redeeming parcels to remove them
from foreclosure or at time of sale.

SUMMARY
Key Funding
and Expenditure
Challenges
Maintenance of the Real Estate Excise Tax system with staffing that is effective, affordable, and sustainable requires ongoing monitoring and improvements to
provide sufficient customer service and access to data. Funding is based on quantity of transactions, so it is vulnerable to economic changes and borrowing
costs at the local, regional and national levels.
Transaction numbers peaked in 2021 coinciding with the lowest mortgage rates on record. While rates are currently lower than those from 1971 through
2000, they are higher than they've been for most of the last 20 years.
2024 was the lowest number of transactions in many years. Historical revenue has typically been between $15,000-16,000,and it was around $12,000 for both
2023 and 2024. 2025 is trending toward a similar revenue level of $12,000.
Real estate mortgage rates are anticipated to lessen slightly in 2026, and that could encourage slightly more property transfers. As such, this budget assumes
number of transactions for 2026 is will remain about the same as 2023-2025. We're hopeful that they will increase in 2027allowing revenues to match expenditures for this fund. Since 2023, fund balance has been compensating for reduced revenue to allow consistent funding to the Assessor and Treasurer's
Offices and ease demands on the county's general fund. Continued monitoring of this fund will determine if a change in the fund management formula may be
necessary at some point, but no changes are needed at this time.

Water Resources {WR}:
Jefferson County Marine Resources Committee {MRC): The MRC is administered through WSU Jeff. Co. Extension and is one of seven county MRCs that are part of the
NW Straits Initiative. The MRC is comprised of 20 members (13 voting members, 1 nonvoting & 6 alternates) and serves Jefferson County in an advisory capacity,
providing input to the BoCC on local marine issues. The MRC also receives grant funding to engage community volunteers in hands-on marine stewardship projects,
including forage fish spawning and bull kelp monitoring, Olympia oyster restoration, eelgrass and shellfish habitat protection, stormwater mitigation via rain garden
installations, and community outreach focused on nearshore habitat protection, sustainable shellfish harvesting practices, and water quality improvement.
Beach Naturalist trainings: This curse is designed for anyone who is interested in beachecosystems and becoming better stewards.

Challenges
Instructions: Include non

explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
The Jefferson County Noxious Weed Control Board's goal is to achieve a stable, long-term program that can deliver a consistent noxious weed control service
to the citizens and public agencies of Jefferson County, while continuing to develop and maintain partnerships with various agencies.
To fund the program, as outlined below, Jefferson County has instituted an annual assessment, tied to property owners' property tax bills.
An assessment for the Jefferson County noxious weed control program of $4.00 per parcel and $0.30 per acre on all property not classified as forest land shall
be imposed annually.
Under RCW 17.10.240 forest lands may be subject to an annual noxious weed assessment that does not exceed one-tenth of the weighted average of the per
acre and per parcel rate levied on other lands that are subject to the weed assessment. Property classified as forest land, as defined in RCW 84.33.035, which
is used solely for the planting, growing or harvesting of trees and which is typified, except for a single five-year period following clear-cut logging, by canopies
so dense as to prohibit the growth of an understory shall be assessed at the rate of $0.40 per parcel and $0.03 per acre. [Ord. 7-15 § 3]
This assessment (approximately $147,000 in 2025) funds program overhead and a staff of 1 FTE who is responsible for all aspects of program operation and
management. In addition, the coordinator has been very successful in obtaining additional funding (approximately $70,000 in 2025) through agreements with
public agencies like the City of Port Townsend, the Jefferson County PU D, and the Forest Service to extend control efforts. However, since the assessment was
passed 10 years ago, costs have continued to rise. While the Noxious Weed Control Board aims to provide the highest level of control of noxious weeds and
assistance to County residents, the rising costs are making it increasingly difficult to keep up with weed pressure and assistance demand. On August 11, 2025,
the Noxious Weed Control Board voted to increase the Special Assessment to $5.50 / parcel and $0.45 /acre.This increase adjusts for inflation and the
growing needs of the program. If accepted by the BoCC on September 15, this increase would support additional seasonal staff and a cost-share program for
landowners, allowing the weed board to serve Jefferson County residents with a high level of service.

SUMMARY
Key Funding
and Expenditure
Challenges
Instructions: Include non-
discretionary,
discretionary
explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) has spent the past several years in a time of increased funding intended to help build and support,what was found
during the pandemic to be, an understaffed and underprepared workforce to handle such a massive scale response. We have utilized this funding to develop
and train our current team, as well as recruit experienced staff members to fill key roles that are necessary to support current operations and continuity of operations at times of emergency. This is foundtional and imparative to the safety, health and resilience of all Jefferson County residents. JCPH now faces
challenges with funding what was recently supported.
Key funding and expenditure challenges to consider with this budget include the following:
-Public Health budgets at the program level (Program-Based Budgeting). This budgeting method organizes revenues and expenses (including indirect costs) by
specific programs. This method provides overall program performance, which is necessary to track categorical funding and ensure accountability for grant and public funding.
-Foundational Public Health Services (FPHS) dollars received through the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) is paid in advance, now in a lump sum
annually. This payment made sometime July-September each year, will result in a 1.5-2.1 million addition to our beginning fund balance. -Our FTE's will increase by 1.19 in 2026.
-Federal and State funding cuts have decreased our anticipated revenue. This includes a decrease of $205,000 in FPHS funding and the defunding of two
programs; Homelessness and Water Systems Capacity. -Public Health has a minimal amount of non-categorical funding; more specifically, in 2026 categorical funding will total 90% of JCPH's total budget with non-
cetegorical funding at 10%.
-Investment in Statewide Assessment Networks and State maintained databases has decreased, resulting in an increased workload locally to collect primarydata to fill gaps in available data.
-Community Health programs provide access to healthcare services to Jefferson County's most vulnerable residents. We have few avenues to increase our
revenues and unknown reductions in Federal and State funding will impact our ability to serve residents.-Funding reductions from the Department of Ecology have already been announced, but it is unlcear how much program funding will be reduced and we
anticipate additional State funding reductions.
-We require additional database management time to improve and implement full functionality of EPL for employee and customer use.-We have more mandated services and limited space.
-Loss of key staff with vast institutional knowledge, due to retirements over the next 1-2 years.
-Anticipated wage increases -grant based funding does not increase with annual salary increases -with little to no general fund support, we cannot match these using grant funds.
-Impending federal cuts to Medicaid, starting in 2026 per the Big Beautiful Bill, will include reduced access to care for our most vulnerable residents, lower
reimbersement rates to providers and clinic, and diminished patient panels as recipients are no longer eligible for the rolls.-Acquiring new and maintaining exisiting funding will be a priority for JCPH.

Water Quality has been monitoring lakes since 2010 after high rise in toxin levels caused the death of an animal. With limited funding sources; grants and special assessment fees the county has supported these efforts with a transfer from the GF. Neither of these funding sources can cover expenses from the County Lakes program.
County Lakes program, covering salaries & benefits and additional direct costs to maintain program.
Water Quality has been monitoring lakes since the death of a pet in 2010 due to toxins in a lake. A lack of
monitoring would leave County residents unsure of where they can safely recreate with family and pets.
This program has always been supplemented by the General Fund, as the two funding sources, grants and
special assessment fees, cannot cover the expenses of the program.
1. Define the expenditure(s), providing expenditure details.
2. Explain the impact the expenditure will have on fund operations.
3. Provide analysis of lacking adequate fund balance, revenue, and other expenditure adjustments to
offset the expenditure.

1. What is the revenue that is reduced?
2. Duration of the reduction in revenue (check one).
General Fund Financial Assistance Request
There are times financial support is necessary from the General Fund to assist operations or expenditures funded by Special Revenue
Funds. Primarily there are two basic categories that may require assistance from the General Fund:
1) negative cash flow below adequate fund balance to maintain operations, and 2) assistance for operational critical expenditures.
Requests for General Fund financial assistance are being reviewed during the biennial budget development. Select A or B, based
on the reason for request and complete questions. Attach supporting documentation as needed.

SUMMARY
Key Funding
and Expenditure
Challenges
Instructions: Include non-
discretionary,
discretionary
explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
Water Quality (WQ) established Special Assessment fees in 2010. And, at this time it was decided no GF support would be given to the WQ department with
this newly established fee in place.
WQ relies on grants and special assessment fees to cover annual expenses. However, support from the GF was provided when monitoring of local lakes
became a program service provided by WQ and no grants or special assessment fees could cover these expenses.
To continue to provide regular lake monitoring, WQ will request financial support from the County to do so.
WQ is aware of the increases in expenses and will need to seek new revenues to cover these.

2. Duration of the reduction in revenue.
It is unclear whether this shortfall will be temporary or permanent. If local businesses choose to voluntarily comply, the
Deputy Fire Marshal position would be essentially fully funded.
3. Reason for reduced revenue.
Reduced revenue is primarily due to lower-than-expected participation in the Fire Marshal’s commercial inspection
program, resulting in significantly fewer businesses voluntarily complying and paying associated fees.
B. Expenditure Assistance Request
1. Define the expenditure(s), providing expenditure details.
2. Explain the impact the expenditure will have on fund operations.
3. Provide analysis of lacking adequate fund balance, revenue, and other expenditure adjustments to
offset the expenditure.
A. Operations assistance requested due to decreased revenue
1. What is the revenue that is reduced?
The Office of the Fire Marshal within DCD launched a commercial inspection program in 2025 to ensure that local
businesses operate safely and in compliance with fire code. However, compliance has been lower than expected,
resulting in a current revenue shortfall of 86 percent, or nearly $85,000, in that department.

General Fund Financial Assistance Request
There are times financial support is necessary from the General Fund to assist operations or expenditures funded by Special Revenue
Funds. Primarily there are two basic categories that may require assistance from the General Fund:
1) negative cash flow below adequate fund balance to maintain operations, and 2) assistance for operational critical expenditures.
Requests for General Fund financial assistance are being reviewed during the biennial budget development. Select A or B,
based on the reason for request and complete questions. Attach supporting documentation as needed.
Return completed form to the Finance Manager.
✔
✔
2. Explain the impact the expenditure will have on fund operations.
If these expenditures are not supported, DCD may experience reduced or eliminated capacity in critical programs.
Functions such as code compliance, long-range planning, and Fire Marshal activities could be significantly curtailed or
cease entirely, limiting the department’s ability to ensure community safety and maintain regulatory compliance.
3. Provide analysis of lacking adequate fund balance, revenue, and other expenditure adjustments to offset the
expenditure.
DCD currently lacks sufficient cash flow to cover the expenditures outlined above, and statutory restrictions prevent the
use of permit fees for long-range planning projects. To minimize the requested amount in the 2026 budget, the
department has reduced or eliminated non- discretionary spending wherever possible.
1. Define expenditure(s), providing expenditure details.
Almost all costs have increased across the board. Salaries are rising by three percent, DCD’s rent is increasing by
$10,495, the interfund transfer is up by $52,764, and vehicle costs have increased by 3.2 percent. Meanwhile, revenues
are not growing at the same rate.
In addition, DCD is not an enterprise fund, and many positions are not supported by fee revenue. Functions such
as Code Compliance, long-range planning, administration, and certain Fire Marshal responsibilities require
General Fund support to continue.

It is unclear whether this shortfall will be temporary or permanent. If local businesses choose to
voluntarily comply, the Deputy Fire Marshal position would be essentially fully funded.
3.Reason for reduced revenue.
Reduced revenue is primarily due to lower-than-expected participation in the Fire Marshal’s
commercial inspection program, resulting in significantly fewer businesses voluntarily
complying and paying associated fees.
B.Expenditure Assistance Request
1.Define expenditure(s), providing expenditure details.
Almost all costs have increased across the board. Salaries are rising by three percent, DCD’s
rent is increasing by $10,495, the interfund transfer is up by $52,764, and vehicle costs have
increased by 3.2 percent. Meanwhile, revenues are not growing at the same rate.
In addition, DCD is not an enterprise fund, and many positions are not supported by fee
revenue. Functions such as Code Compliance, long-range planning, administration, and certain
Fire Marshal responsibilities require General Fund support to continue.
2.Explain the impact the expenditure will have on fund operations.
If these expenditures are not supported, DCD may experience reduced or eliminated capacity in
critical programs. Functions such as code compliance, long-range planning, and Fire Marshal
activities could be significantly curtailed or cease entirely, limiting the department’s ability to
ensure community safety and maintain regulatory compliance.
3.Provide analysis of lacking adequate fund balance, revenue, and other expenditure
adjustments to offset the expenditure.
DCD currently lacks sufficient cash flow to cover the expenditures outlined above, and statutory
restrictions prevent the use of permit fees for long-range planning projects. To minimize the
requested amount in the 2026 budget, the department has reduced or eliminated non-
discretionary spending wherever possible.

MISSION
STATEMENT
GOALS &
OBJECTIVES
2026 BUDGET
The Department of Community Development is responsible for managing building permits, land use and development review, code enforcement, and long-range planning, and also includes the Office of the Fire Marshal. In addition to overseeing permits and construction activity, our department is tasked with
ensuring that Jefferson County remains in compliance with the Washington State Growth Management Act. As a GMA county, we are required to maintain and regularly update a comprehensive plan that guides land use, housing, infrastructure, and environmental protection for the next 10 to 20 years. This
long-range planning work is not something that can be supported by permit fees, but it is essential for shaping our community’s future and staying in compliance with state law. Likewise, code enforcement and fire marshal services are critical public functions that protect safety and quality of life but are
not activities that generate sufficient revenue through permit fees. For these reasons, it is important that our budget include support beyond permit revenue, ensuring that these legally required and community-serving responsibilities can continue to be carried out effectively
"To preserve and enhance the quality of life in Jefferson County by promoting a vibrant economy, sound communities, and a healthy environment."
-Support legal and community obligations by ensuring Jefferson County remains in compliance with the Growth Management Act through long-range planning, regular comprehensive plan updates, and code amendments that reflect state requirements and local priorities.
-Strengthen community safety and livability by provide consistent staffing and resources for code enforcement and the Office of the Fire Marshal, recognizing these services are essential to public health and safety but are not fully covered by permit fees.
-Invest in staff and operational capacity by hiring and retain qualified, dedicated staff, and provide the training and tools needed to effectively manage complex planning, permitting, and enforcement responsibilities.-Continue to modernize our permitting system and reduce backlogs by completing the transition to digital permitting, automate simple over-the-counter
permits, and launch an online application portal through the CSS to improve efficiency and reduce redundancy.-Improve plan and permit review timelines by continuing to streamline processes and enhance staffing capacity in order to meet statutory requirements
under SB 5290, ensuring timely, predictable reviews that support both compliance and customer service.-Continue to streamline internal processes by developing clear operational policies and standard procedures to eliminate non-value-added tasks, improve
consistency in staff reports and decisions, and enhance cost recovery through accurate timekeeping.

SUMMARY
Key Funding
and Expenditure
Challenges
Instructions: Include non-
discretionary,
discretionary
explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
Despite significant progress in modernizing operations and improving services, DCD continues to face financial challenges that impact our ability to meet
obligations and community expectations:
Fund Balance Pressure
DCD has struggled to maintain a healthy fund balance in recent years due to rising costs across the board, including employeecompensation, rents/leases,
equipment, and vehicle fees.
Revenue Shortfalls
Expected revenues in key areas, have come in below projections, further impacting fund balance stability.
Delayed Grant Revenues
In 2025, we had budgeted for anticipated grant revenue from the C-PACER and Stock Plans programs. However, these programs only became operational late in the year, preventing us from realizing the full funding that had been expected.
Fee LimitationsCertain critical services, including long-range planning, code enforcement, and some fire marshal duties, cannot be supported bypermit fee revenue and
require ongoing budget support.
To maintain compliance with state law, protect our environment and public safety, and deliver efficient, customer-focused services, DCD requires funding
stability beyond permit revenue. Rising costs, underperforming revenue areas, and delayed grant funding have added pressure to our fund balance. Continued
investment in DCD is necessary to ensure that Jefferson County remains in compliance with the Growth Management Act and SB 5290,supports fire and code enforcement services, and sustains the community’s vision for responsible growth and development.

STATEMENT
GOALS &
OBJECTIVES
2026 BUDGET
RCW Chapter 36.70 requires the creation of a Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is composed of 9 citizen volunteers appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to support the Department of Community Development and to make advisory recommendations on land use planning matters to the Board of County Commissioner. Historically this Commission has been funded by the General Fund. This funding covers the cost of the Commissioner's stipends for meetings they attend, fees for meeting venue rentals, modest supplies, as well as Community Development employee salaries for work do to prepare for Planning Commission projectsand meetings.
JCC 18.05.050 Planning commission –Duties and responsibilities.
The duties and responsibilities of the planning commission shall be as follows:
(1)The planning commission shall review the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan and other planning documents to determine if the county’s plans, goals, policies, and
development regulations are promoting orderly and coordinated development within the county. The commission shall make recommendations concerning this to the board
of commissioners.
(2)The planning commission shall review development regulations of the county and make recommendations regarding them to the board of commissioners.
(3)The planning commission shall recommend priorities for and review studies of geographic subareas in the county.
(4)All other county boards, committees, and commissions shall coordinate their planning activities, as they relate to land use or the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan,
with the planning commission.
(5)The planning commission may hold public hearings in the exercise of its duties and responsibilities as it deems necessary.(6)The planning commission shall have such other duties and powers as heretofore have been or hereafter may be conferred uponthe commission by county ordinances or asdirected by resolution of the board of commissioners, the performance of such duties and exercise of such authority to be subject to the limitations expressed in such enactments. [Ord. 4-19 §1 (Exh. A); Ord. 8-06 §1]
2026 begins the Comprehensive Plan implementation phase. It also introduces the annual Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle, brings errata and updates to the Unified Development Code (UDC), and includes a joint Board of County Commissioners-Planning Commission retreat to establish upcoming priorities and directives.

SUMMARY
Key Funding
and Expenditure
Challenges
Instructions: Include non-
discretionary,
discretionary
explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
In 2025, the Department began closely tracking the actual staff time required to support the Planning Commission. This process revealed that the 2025 budget significantly underestimated the resources needed. By comparison, allocations from 2023 and 2024 more accurately reflected the level of effort required.
Supporting the Planning Commission is not discretionary. Under RCW 36.70.040 (establishment of planning commissions) and JCC 18.05.050 (duties and responsibilities), the County is mandated to ensure the Planning Commission can carry out its statutory functions. To meet these requirements, staff must
prepare materials, provide notice for meetingsto meet the Open Public Meetings Act coordinate with the public, maintain information flow, and ensure that
meetings are run transparently and effectively.
To address this workload, the department created a Planning Commission Clerk position in 2025. This position can work up to 69 hours per month (though
typically less) and has become instrumental in ensuring compliance with legal requirements while maintaining smooth operations. The Clerk manages meeting noticing, packet preparation, public communication, and logistics -responsibilities that previously strained existing staff capacity.
Budgeting for the Planning Commission in 2025 was especially challenging, as it was the County’s 10-year Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update year. This process required extensive effort from Planning Commissioners, consultants, and department staff to meet Growth Management Act deadlines. Looking
forward, 2026 begins the Comprehensive Plan implementation phase. It also introduces the annual Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle, brings errata and
updates to the Unified Development Code (UDC), and includes a joint Board of County Commissioners–Planning Commission retreat toestablish upcoming priorities and directives.
The Planning Commission is supported wholly by the County’s General Fund. This creates a challenge, as the General Fund must cover a wide range of mandated services across departments with no opportunity to recoup costs through revenue. Planning Commission activities are required, and
underbudgeting in this area risks compliance issues, delays in planning work, and diminished public trust. Ensuring adequate resources for Commission
support is both a statutory obligation and an operational necessity.

2026 ANNUAL BUDGET
The Capital Improvement Fund pays debt service and transfers monies to various capital construction projects. The primary revenue is the 1/2 of 1% Real Estate Excise Tax.
The mission of the Capital Improvement Fund is to be an available funding source for capital projects submitted to, reviewed, and prioritized by the Capital Improvement Planning Committee (CIPC).
Goasl
Improve utilization of CIPCSimplify capital request process
Objectives
Align CIPC meetings with budget and appropriation timelines
Revise current capital outlay processesMaintain availablefunds and strategic reservesconsistent with Jefferson County Financial doctrine.
FUND/DEPARTMENT:CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 302 -CENTRAL SERVICES
2020 - 2021 Biennial Budget
SUMMARY
Key Funding
Service Issues
Since the Real Estate Transfer Tax revenue has the potential to be volatile, debt service costs should generally not exceed 85% of those revenues.
Although there is legal authority to issue more debt, it is practically limited by the County's ability to pay debt service and complete major maintenance projects.

The justification for the increase to the General Fund Transfer is that parks and recreation is not expanding, rather costs to maintain the same level of service are going up. Specifically: (1) Interfund
Transfers - Parks and Recreation is not adding any additional staff, computers, maintenance equipment, or office space in 2026. The increases in Interfund Transfers are caused by increases in the costs of the forementioned resources. Cost allocation increases are determined by Central Services and Fleet Management. (2) The increases in Salaries and Benefits are written into various employment agreements. The increases in Interfund Transfers are caused by the increased costs of maintaining and operating equipment and buildings. (3) Without the increase in the General Fund transfer the fund
balance would be below the minimum required 10% reserve.
The total amount needed to offset increases in Interfund Transfers in 17457680, 17457520, & 57100 is $32,447. This amount has already been entered in the 2026 Budget Worksheet
The total amount needed to offset cost of living increases Salaries and Benefits in 17457680, 17457520, & 17457100 is $28,519. This amount has already been entered in the 2026 Budget Worksheet
General Fund Financial Assistance Request
There are times financial support is necessary from the General Fund to assist operations or expenditures funded by Special Revenue Funds. Primarily there are two basic categories that may require assistance from the General Fund: 1)negative cash flow below adequate fund balance to maintain operations, and 2) assistance for operational critical
expenditures.
Requests for General Fund financial assistance are being reviewed during the biennial budget development. Select A or B, based on the reason for request and complete questions. Attach supporting documentation as needed.
Return completed form to the Finance Manager.
A.D Operations assistance requested due to decreased revenue.
1.What is the revenue that is reduced?
2. Duration of the reduction in revenue (check one).
Oremporary D Permanent
3.Reason for reduced revenue.
B.I✓ I Expenditure assistance requested.
1.Define the expenditure(s), providing expenditure details.
Assistance is needed because Parks & Rec should continue to operate and cannot do so
without it. Parks & Rec provides 23 parks on 1194 acres, 19 miles of trails, & 27 rec programs.
2.Explain the impact the expenditure will have on fund operations.
The expenditure will enable Parks & Rec to provide the 2025 level of service in 2026. If
reductions in revenue occur then parks will be closed and rec programs will be canceled.
3.Provide analysis of lacking adequate fund balance, revenue, and other expenditure adjustments tooffset the expenditure.
Though it is technically classified as a Special Revenue Fund, Parks & Rec services are core
to Jefferson County government. Parks and Rec has been funded by General Fund Revenue
since its inception.

All aspects of Parks and Recreation, including administration, the Parks and Rcreation advisory board, capital projects, park maintenance and operations, and
recreation programming have become far more demanding, but Parks and Recreation resources have not increased to meet the demand. Please see separate spread sheet.The gap has been closed through innovations in equipment, management, volunteerism, partnerships, grant funding, and fee increases, but it is not enough. Parks and Recreation is a core service and should have dedicated and sustainable funding. If general fund revenue is unable to keep pace with rising costs, then policy makers should seek other sustainable revenue sources. The option of reducing services is not a viable solution for the community.

County Parks Improvement 175
The County Parks Improvement Fund was established with revenues from grants, donations, overnight camping, federal entitlements, and grant match funding contributions from the Capital Improvement Fund. These revenues are the primary source for capital improvements to county parks. This fund
also provides financing for re-imburseable state grants such as Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) grants. Parks and Recreation has utilized the
Parks Improvement Fund to great effect. Numerous projects both large and small have been completed that would not be possible without it.
The mission of Jefferson County Parks and Recreation is to improve the health, welfare, and safety of the citizenry; protect the environment, and promote economic development through state of the art recreational and educational programs and facilities supported by public tax revenue, fees,
grants and private donations. The vision of Jefferson County Parks and Recreation is not to serve every purpose, but to lead towards cooperation and comprehensive community solutions.
Provide critical capital funding for both large and small projects throughout the parks system.
Assist with the capital upkeep of 23 parks on 1100 acres with 19 miles of trails, 14 permanent toilets, 4 picnic shelters, and numerous systems including
water supply, septic, electrical, HVAC, and roofing.Increase campground fee revenue through excellent maintenance and gradual campground fee increases.
Serve as pass-through fund for projects funded by the Capital ImprovementFund.
Support maintenance and operations through a transfer to Parks maintenance.Support maintenance improvement projects completed by volunteers,staff, partners, and the Central Services Department.
Support the overall objective of completing repair projects from the Capital Improvement Plan of the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive
Plan.

Parks Improvement Fund Capital Projects in 2025 and 2026
In 2026 the Parks Improvement Fund will support the Memorial Field Instrastructure project as well as numerous minor capital improvement projects. This
project will replace the perimeter fence, scoreboard, and two field goals. The project is 70% funded by Youth Athletic Facilities Program (YAF) through RCO
and 30% through the County's funds. This was topped ranked YAF project in the statewide competitive grant round.
The Parks Improvement Fund should not be considered discretionary. 100% of Parks Improvement Funds are used to maintain the current level of service within our parks. There are no plans to aquire new parks or build brand new facilities within the existing parks. Reducing or re-directing funds in the Parks
Improvment Fund will result in a reduction in the current level of park services. While such a reduction is technically possible, it should not occur without deliberation at the highest level of policy decision making.
Parks and Recreation made excellent use of the Parks Improvement fund in 2025 and plans are in place to continue in 2026. Combined for 2025 and 2026
the fund supported and will support two RCO Funded Projects with a total value of $535,178: The Basketball Court Renovation Project, and The Memorial Field Renovation Project. These projects were 75.31% grant funded.
The Gibbs Lake Caretakers Area Project was also completed using the Parks Improvement Fund in 2025. This project, perhaps more than any other project
shows the tremendous value and importance of the Parks Improvement fund. Unexpected things happen in parks. In this instance the caretaker departed somewhat suddenly and it was realized that the caretakers residence was not a safe and viable building and should be removed.Using the Parks
Improvement Fund, and additional support from the Capital Improvement Fund, the area was converted into a public water access/beach space and a new
RV site for a future caretaker was built.

This fund currently provides for the management of a County-owned timber parcel on the Dabob Peninsula (Donovan Creek Sale)that was harvested to produce over $400,000 in revenue in 1999 and a second parcel harvested in the early-2000s at the Transfer Station property that
produced $500,000 in revenue. This fund utilizes monies set aside from these timber harvests to perform ongoing timber and land
management activities according to post-harvest plans. For example, a thinning contract was executed and completed on the Donovan Creek
sale area in 2010 to promote the growth of valuable timber species. A stand inspection performed in 2018 recommended the following future
management actions:
2028, Inspect stand to consider alder maturity and commercial thinning opportunity.
2038, Anticipated date of alder maturity. At this time the alder can be logged in a combined operation with commercial thinning (CT) of the
overstocked DF. The alder should be clearcut with the resulting gaps requiring reforestation. The DF will be overstocked by that time and could
be thinned to approximately 18-20 feet or a BA of approximately 150 sq ft/acre.
In the long-term, this site will have the ability to generate additional County revenue through future harvests, and additional County-owned timber acreage could be harvested and added into this fund. The Transfer Site sale area has been designated for an equestrian facility, and the
timber on these lands is no longer being managed under this fund.

MEMORANDUM
To: Josh Peters, County Administrator
Judy Shepherd, Finance Director
From: Monte Reinders, P.E., Public Works Director/County Engineer
Date: August 21, 2025
Subject: General Fund Request Documentation
The Board has historically transferred PILT funds from the General Fund to the Road Fund. In
2026, Resolution 48-0721-25R, Goal #7, states that the “Board of County Commissioners may
transfer a portion of the PILT to the Road Fund to make up for as much as possible of any
amount below $750,000 in 2026 that the Secure Rural Schools or Federal Timber revenues
contribute to the Road Fund.” This Goal recognizes several things:
1)County road maintenance/preservation is a high priority. Despite staff cuts of over 20%
and cuts to the chip seal program of over 50% and the addition of Transportation Benefit
District revenues in 2025, the Road Fund is still approaching its minimum cash reserve
limit (25% of operating expenses). This is entirely attributable to rampant inflation and
stagnant revenues – primarily property tax, motor vehicle fuel tax, and variable timber
tax. See attached chart.
2)There is a direct and inverse relationship between Secure Rural Schools (Federal Forest
Title I or “SRS”) and Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) revenues. When the SRS
program was gutted by the federal government in 2011, there was a corresponding
massive increase in the PILT revenues. SRS was only available for spending on county
roads. Unfortunately, at the time, Jefferson County failed to recognize this relationship
and did not offset the loss of SRS with its PILT windfall. This has been partially
corrected in more recent years and the PILT transfer Resolution 48-0721-25R, Goal #7,
attempts to do this. Note that the combined SRS and PILT amount of $750,000 in 2026
is still only about 50% of the roughly $1.4 million that SRS was generating prior to 2011.
A chart is attached showing the history of the SRS and PILT revenues for the County.
3)The General Fund benefits from cash infusions from the Road Fund. In 2025, the
Diversion from the Road Levy to the General Fund was $520,000. In 2026, this amount
is proposed to be $470,000.
4)Only Public Works, primarily Roads, pays for the indirect cost allocation plan. This is
for services such as County Administrator, Prosecuting Attorney, Auditor, Treasurer, etc.
This moves over $200,000 per year from the Road Fund to the General Fund.
5)The Roads program pays large sums for directly allocated costs such as computers,
telephones, copiers, office space leases, and Facilities services. These costs are real and
appropriate for the equipment and services Roads receives; however, this is one more
way the Road Fund contributes to the overall program which all of the County
departments rely on. These costs add up to nearly $250,000 each year.
6)The Road Fund pays its own Risk Pool insurance costs which have skyrocketed to nearly
$200,000 per year. General Fund departments do not pay directly for their insurance.

County Roads
The County Road fund provides for the maintenance, planning, and improvement of county roads (approx. 400 centerline miles) and shared use facilities (12 miles of regional trails including the Larry Scott Trail, Rick Tollefson Trail, and Olympic Discovery Trail). Road maintenance includes maintaining road
surfaces, pavement preservation treatments, drainage facilities, vegetation control, and snow and ice control, and bridges. Capital road improvements are determined using a priority analysis process and are shown in the 6-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Additionally, the County Road fund provides for emergency repairs to county roads due to flood, storm events and landslides.
542 GOALS & OBJECTIVES:
Provide necessary road maintenance services utilizing a prioritized approach to achieve the optimum preservation/service levels with available funds.Respond to customer-initiated action requests in a timely manner and to road emergencies 24/7 (traffic disruptions, removal of fallen trees, anti-icing
and de-icing, snow removal and washout repair) as funding allows in order to preserve access to homes and businesses.
Continue to improve maintenance priority systems including implementing new statewide pavement-management system.Continue course of process improvements thorugh revised procedures, new crew training and effective upgrades to equipment.
Continue replacement/rehabilitation of deteriorated culverts identified in the culvert inventory.
Support the gravel road upgrade program through chip sealing and fog sealing operations.Chip seal approximately 18 miles of existing roadway annually to rehabilitate and preserve roadway surfaces

SUMMARY
Key Funding
and Expenditure
Challenges
Instructions: Include non-
discretionary,
discretionary
explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
The Road Fund continues to face increasing challenges in an era of decreasing reliable revenues and significantly increasing costs.Revenues from the Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (MVFT) have grown at 0.5% per year since 2009. The Road Levy (property tax) has grown at approximately 2% per year (1% limit + new construction).In 2010, a significant source of federal road funding known as the Secure Rural Schools and CommunitiesSelf-Determination Act (SRS) was slased
by over $1,000,000 and has now been eliminated entirely. At the same time, operating expenditures for road maintenance have grown at over 4% per year despite continued staff reductions. In order to address General Fund revenue shortfalls, Jefferson County diverts over 10% of the Road Levy into the law
enforcement budget for traffic enforcement.
The National Highway Construction Cost Index (NHCCI) indicates that construction costs increased approximately 176% between 2003 and 2023, dramatically
outpacing revenues. Volatility in the labor market, a local housing shortage, and increases in crude oil costs and other materials have significantly affected the
cost of doing business both for County maintenance forces and contractors. This upward trend currently continues to grow more severe each year.
Deferral of maintenance and preservation is currently being used to address budgetary shortfalls in the Road Fund; however, deterioration of road surfaces,
culverts, bridges, and trails does not just go “on hold” because of budget challenges.Many of the County’s 2,500 road culverts, installed during 1960’s “heyday” of road building when timber revenues were plentiful, are now well beyond their useful life.In 2023 a single failing drainage culvert was replaced for over
$1,000,000 after seven years of pursuing funding and permits.
Without adequate revenue, service will be further reduced resulting in impacts to the traveling public.Capital projects may need to be eliminated unless new
non-local revenue sources are found; however, since the capital program is typically funded at approximately 85%-95% by outside grants, reduction in the
program cannot entirely “solve” the budget issues.Elimination of capital projects will however result in significant outside grant funds and their associated local construction jobs being lost.
In 2025, the County formed a Transportation Benefit District (TBD) funded through a 0.1% sales tax and a $20 vehicle car tab fee. This is anticipated to generate approximately $1,000,000 in new revenue each year. Unfortunately, this only makes up for the loss of the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) funding 15 years ago and
does not address the 15 years of inflation that has occured since. Therefore the county roads program, despite significant cuts, still finds itself having to further
cut services to contend with the existing revenue stream. The Board has resolved to put another 0.2% sales tax measure before the voters this year to more fully fund the county road system.
542 SUMMARY OF KEY FUNDING/SERVICE ISSUES:
The County Road maintenance program must continue to provide for the maintenance and preservation of County Roads while maintaining an adequate Road
Fund cash reserve, which provides for operating funds and a cushion for emergency repair of storm damage. The Road Fund is facing increasing challenges including declining revenues (particularly in federal timber subsidies through Secure Rural Schools and Communities Act), escalating material and labor costs, and
increased pressures on the road system. In addition, the 1% cap on property tax revenue collection has not kept pace with inflation.
This budget continues to provide for preservation of roadway surfacing. Chip sealing is an important and cost-effective form of preventive maintenance: Without
it, more expensive rehabilitation or reconstruction would become necessary later, or a reduced roadway quality will need to be accepted. Chip sealing is planned
on approximately 15 -20 miles of roadway each year to rehabilitate and preserve existing infrastructure. At this pace, the 320 miles of surfaced roads receive a chip seal on average every 16 to 21 years, which is about half as often as they should. Costs for chip seal materials (emulsionand aggregate) have soared in the
last several years.

2026 Budget
Issues of deferred maintenance cannot be overstated. As an example, hundreds of the more than 2,500 culverts in Jefferson County are rusted out and beyond
their useful life. Replacement of even one deep culvert can exceed $1 million, or even $2 million as we saw on the ThorndykeCreek culvert in 2022 and the Snow Creek Road culvert in 2023.
The level of service for road maintenance is expected to continue to decline over time. In order to partially offset the effect of revenue shortfalls, staffing has been decreased by 23% from the levels that existed 25 years ago with corresponding reductions in service.
595 SUMMARY OF KEY FUNDING/SERVICE ISSUES:
The capital (construction) program relies heavily upon grant funding. These funds are increasingly competitive and frequently do not provide the flexibility
needed to prioritize County capital transportation needs. For example, transportation grants are often tied to the Federal Functional Classification system set for county roads. This means that most county roads are not eligible for federal or state grant funds even though they may be important local roads with substantial
traffic volumes. Consequently, competitive grants are not a sustainable source of transportation revenue.
Road preservation projects (sometimes referred to as “heavy maintenance”) are also included in the capital (construction) program. While these projects are one
priority of the program, they do not receive the attention or the proportionate grant funding they deserve. Preservation projects extend the life of existing
infrastructure and include asphalt overlays, culvert replacement, bridge painting, etc. Much of Jefferson County’s road infrastructure is over 50 years old. While the County’s chip sealing program has done a good job of preserving the County road surface, underground infrastructure (culverts) is severely underfunded.
Given that many of these deteriorated culverts are very deep, undersized, and require some form of typically costly construction bypass, replacing a single culvert
can cost between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. There are over 2,500 culverts under Jefferson County’s road system. Since infrastructure preservation needs cannot indefinitely be deferred, and grants, although invaluable, are neither stable nor always compatible, it is clear that either revenue will need to be made
available or the County’s infrastructure will slowly fall into disrepair, to the point of being unusable.

This 50-year old steel culvert at milepost 0.84 on Snow Creek Road was collapsing, and the road was at extreme risk of a washout. After seven years of searching for a funding solution, the County successfully competed for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Funds to pay for 80% of the $1.3 million cost to replace it. The remaining 20% was obtained through a low-intereste loan from the State of Washington that the County will pay off over 20 years.
The FEMA Hazard Mitigation program has recently been cancelled by DOGE. There are 2,500 culverts under Jefferson County roads, most of them older than 50 years and most of them rusting out.

JC TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT DISTRICT
The Transportation Benefit District (TBD) was established in 2025 as authorized in Chapter 36.73 RCW. The intent was to partially replace revenue lost by the curtailment in 2011 of most of the federal timber subsidy (Federal Forest Title I funds) which cut nearly $1,000,000 annually from the Road Fund and to also start to address some of the widening gap between property tax and gas tax revenues, which are growing at less than 2% per year,and expenses which have been increasing at rates of 4% to 8% annually in many sectors of road construction and maintenance. In 2025, the Board funded the TBD with a 0.1% sales tax (10 cents on a $100 purchase) and a $20 car license fee. This is likely to product about $400,000 of revenue in 2025 and $1,000,000 annually in 2026 and beyond.TBD revenue can be used for any legitimate road maintenance or construction expense on a county road. In Jefferson County, the TBD funds will be prioritized for road preservation activities first -primarily chip sealing, asphalt patching, and paving. These expenditures typicalliy exceed $1,000,000 per year on Jefferson County's road system and are still considered inadequate to maintain county roads at ideal levels.
To preserve, maintain, and improve county roads.
TBD funds will supplement the existing traditional sources of revenue in the Road Fund (property tax and motor vehicle fuel tax) to:
* Fund an 18-mile chip seal program on roads which have not see a preservation treatment in 15 to 20 years.

explanations, law
requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
As shown in the graph below, regular road revenues have grown annually at an average rate of only 1.6%. Anyone who has been paying attention
should realize that even in good years, inflation exceeds this figure, and the Construction Cost Index (CCI) has significantly outpaced the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) over the last 20 years. To respond to this widening gap between revenues and expenses, Jefferson County has cut it's annual chip
seal program nearly in half, reduced other road programs, and reduced staff by over 20%. This is showing up in the condition of the road system;
however, since the changes occur slowly, not everyone will be aware of this trend until the results become accute. The photo below shows what
happens when streets/roads are neglected long enough. If they aren't preserved, then they eventually have to be rebuilt at vastly increased cost. Regular preservation treatments are the most cost-effective way to take care of a road system. Letting it fall apart is not an option.
The TBD is an attempt to correct the troubling trend that has been developing in the County Road program as revenues have not kept up with
necessary expenditures.

BrinnonFlood Control
This fund was established in the 1990s to promote discussions about options for flood control in the Brinnon community. Through a series of meetings, it was
determined that there was little desire in the community to fund a Flood District through property assessments. The fund hassat virtually untouched for the
last 25 years and has only a few thousand dollars in fund balance. In more recent years, Jefferson County Environmental Health Department has taken the
lead in conducting meetings for flood planning and also purchasing flood-prone properties.
To provide assistance with flood control planning and flood hazard mitigation in the Brinnon Flood Control Sub-Zone.
Continue to implement opportunities for flood hazard mitigation including acquisition of key properties for floodplain management as willing sellers become

Quilcene Flood Control
This fund was estblished in the 1990s in an attempt to start to address flood concerns in the area. A Flood Hazard Mitigation Plan was developed in the late 1990s; however, the community expressed little desire to fund a Flood District through property assessments. The fund as used for several years, with small contributions from the County's General Fund to excavate "gravel traps" on the lower river; however by the year 2000, it had become nearly impossible to secure the Army Corps permits to continue this activity. In the meantime Salmon Recovery grants and Departent of Ecology FCAAP grants were secured to fund willing seller property buyouts which the County pursued successfully. By the year 2007, Jefferson County Environmental Health took over this activity and has pursued further buyouts since with small contributions from this fund for grant match. Fund balance has been nearly exhausted by 2026. Public Works also completed a study in the early 2000s to investigate what a levee removal project and Linger Longer Bridge replacement project would looklike. Later, the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group and the Jamestown S'kallam Tribe joined forces to take on this project, which is currently underway in 2025 and 2026. The new bridge will be nearly 1,200 feet long and the river will be relocated to the north of it's current site.
To provide for flood control planning and flood hazard mitigation in the Quilcene Flood Control Sub-Zone.
Continue to implement opportunities for flood hazard mitigation including acquisition of key properties for floodplain management as willing sellers become
interested, and participation in key meetings with stakeholders.
This fund addresses public health issues through the mitigation of flood hazards.
This fund addresses transportation issues related to roadway flooding and bridge replacement.

graphs to tell the story.
Revisions to the solid waste disposal fees adopted by the Board of County Commissioners that became effective October 3, 2023 began to
return fund balances to prudent levels. A new minimum fee did not substantially reduce minimum load self-haul customers and reduce average wait times for all customers as had been expected and the high percentage of this customer group relative to all customers
continues to drive costs upward and reduce operational efficiency. A low-income discount program made available on October 3, 2023 continues to gain in use.
Urgently needed Capital repairs and equipment replacement at the transfer station were identified in early 2025 and the Board of County
Commissioners adopted a $15/ton Capital Surcharge on top of the per ton disposal rate, effective August 1, 2025, to generate funding of
the improvements needed for uninterrupted service.
The 2026 budget includes a $1,100,000 grant/loan from the Public Works Trust Fund Board for replacement on the facility scales and
scalehouse. These scales are over 40 years old and rusted out. Their failure would cause significant interruption to the facility. This
grant/loan has yet to be applied for and the exact grant/loan mix is unknown at this time. Jefferson County may be eligible for up to 50%
grant based on the PWTFB definition of financially "distressed" county. Any portion of the funding mix that is a loan is likely to be at very low interest over a 20-year repayment horizon, typically 0.5% for distressed counties. Principal on a $1 million loan would therefore be
$50,000 per year and interest of less than $5,000 per year. This loan would initially be serviced by the $15/ton capital surcharge which at
25,000 tons per year would generate $375,000 per year in capital funds.
The public planning process for the rebuilding or replacement of solid waste facilities continues apace with staff workload and is expected
to be completed in 2026. By consensus,the Solid Waste Facility Task Force decided against rebuilding the current facility due to space
constraints and selected a County-owned property on the State Route 104 corridor for the future transfer station. Conceptual design work is underway and will be followed with cost estimating and a financing strategy.
Staff will begin working with the Solid Waste Advisory Committee on a required update to the Solid Waste Management Plan following
completion of the facility replacement planning process.

Expenditures and lost revenue related to the Environmental Stewardship and Social Responsibility elements of the Solid Waste Program
have outpaced revenue despite a steady increase in tonnages (revenue). This has led to a forecasted deficit budget and the failure to achieve fund balance benchmarks adopted in 2023.
Labor hours allocated to operating the Transfer Station will remain relatively unchanged since 2023.

Yard Waste Education
Funding for Yard Waste Education comes from an ILA with the City of Port Townsend which provides 5% set-aside of all yard waste fees, net of tax, collected at the County’s Transfer Station for the education of Port Townsend and County residences and businesses. This fund, capped at $10k/year is used to promote disposal
alternatives to landfilling organics including yard wastes at the Port Townsend composting center and food wastes through back yard composting.
Continue to promote and provide yard debris disposal at the City’s bio-solids compost facility and through education about on-site yard debris management and
composting. Continue to collaborate with the City of Port Townsend in delivering on-site yard debris management education to City and County residents.
Continue to engage the Solid Waste Advisory Committee on the scope and planning for future education program in accordance with the Solid Waste Management Plan

Collaboration with the City of Port Townsend and other partner agencies has created a series of educational opportunities for County residents to manage yard and food waste debris on-site rather than using the City/County managed disposal site. This is in accordance with the Solid Waste Management Plan and has decreased operating costs for both the City and County effecting a reduction in vehicle trips thereby reducing vehicle emissions.

Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area (PHUGA)Sewer Construction
The mission of the Port Hadlock/Irondale Urban Growth Area (PHUGA) Sewer Fund is to design and construct a public sewer system in the PHUGA in order
to meet Growth Management Act (GMA) requirements which require urban levels of service including sewer. A sewer system will allow urban zoning to
take effect, which will create opportunity for economic growth while treating wastewater in an environmentally responsible manner.
The goals and objectives for 2026 are to continue to install side sewer, which include on-site grinder pumps and low pressure sewer collection lines.

The project was awarded $20,175,000 million in 2021 by the Washington state legislature and administered by Department of Commerce. $5,500,000 in US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding has been awarded through the Community Projects efforts of our federal legislators. $6,667,000 (of which $5,000,00 is grant) has been awarded from the WA Department of Ecology Water Quality Combined Financial Assistance (State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan and
forgivable loan and Centennial Grant). The County is using $3,400,000 of its American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money for the project as well. Managing all of these funding sources is a complex puzzle requiring experienced staff. The project is fully funded with the only question being how many connections to
existing homes/businesses can be made before the funding is fully exhausted.

Key Funding
and Expenditure
Challenges
Instructions: Include non-

requirements that impact
budget, revenue, and
other challenges. Include
graphs to tell the story.
County fleetsacross the industry are facing unprecedented pressures resulting from runaway inflation outpacing rental revenues collected forparts and replacements. The example below is illustrative of this problem. To respond, vehicle/equipment service life must been extended to allow replacement funds to start to "catch up"; however, this has an impact on fleet reliability and department budgets.
Another challenge for Jefferson County is aging facilities that need significant investment or replacement. Examples include the shop building roof and
underground fuel tanks. Since the only revenue source for the Fleet program is vehicle rents and fuel charges, it is a significant challenge to include these
liabilities into the ER&R charges and keep rents affordable for departments. The County needs to find other revenue sources to cover these expenditures.
Staffing remains a challenge in Jefferson County, which is lucky to have the people it does. Skilled mechanics are not easily found in a small community with a
predominantly retirement demographic.
Finally, any small fleet program will struggle with problems that are reduced in larger fleets through economies of scale. Staffing is small so a single unfilled
position can have a major impact on service delivery. Overhead costs for software, financial management, and overhead items can only be stread through a small fleet of assets which puts pressure on the rental rates.
