brought hereunder shall be in the Superior Court for Thurston County.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Appendix A
Work Summary:
Under direction of SPONSOR, crew(s) will perform restoration activities. Specific tasks could include invasive control, native
species installation, plant nursery care, scientific monitoring, and fence installation or repair.
Special terms and conditions:
1. WCC resources (members, supervisors, tools and trucks) will not be utilized to clean public restrooms, monitor, survey,
or clear active or abandoned encampments, and/or to clean up hazardous materials including hypodermic needles. If a
significant amount of hazardous or unidentifiable material is discovered on a project site, activity will cease until SPONSOR
mitigates potential hazards or finds an alternate project site. If active or abandoned encampments prevent WCC activities
from taking place at a project site, WCC supervisors and members may contact their partner organization and work with
their coordinator on alternative activities. While WCC can share active or abandoned encampment information with
project partners when relevant to service activities, WCC personnel will not monitor, survey, or report on encampments
directly to regulatory agencies or anyone other than a partner organization.
2. WCC vehicle is not to be used for heavy hauling; the primary use is for transportation of crew, tools, and safety
equipment. In the event that WCC vehicles are requested to tow SPONSOR -provided equipment (including rentals), it will
only be on a limited basis and SPONSOR is solely responsible for accidental damages, unless damages are caused by WCC
negligence.
3. WCC is not responsible for normal wear and tear when project requires the use of SPONSOR -provided tools,
equipment, or safety gear.
4. The assignment of members shall not result in the displacement of currently employed workers, including partial
displacement such as reduction in hours of non -overtime work, wages, or other employment benefits. Agencies that
participate in the program may not terminate, lay-off, or reduce working hours of any employee for the purpose of using a
member with available funds. In circumstances where substantial efficiencies or a public purpose may result, participating
agencies may use members to carry out essential agency work or contractual functions without displacing current
employees.
5. All state holidays and shutdown weeks are non -working days for members. Shutdown weeks are to be used by WCC
staff/supervisors for planning purposes. The WCC standard 40-hour schedule is Monday through Thursday from 7:OOam to
5:30pm. An alternate schedule may be arranged with prior approval from the WCC.
6. WCC's cost -share rate is calculated using the full costs of supporting WCC crews and IPs, including time spent training,
required community service events, shutdowns, etc. Indirect costs are included in SPONSOR share at a standard rate of 5%
of direct costs.
7. If inclement weather, including hazardous air quality, makes a project site inaccessible, then the sponsor should
reassign the WCC crew or IP to alternative projects in an accessible location.
In inclement weather, WCC crews follow the weather -related guidance (e.g. shut -down, delayed start, early end, etc.)
from the regional Ecology office closest to the crew lock -up or IP service location. If the member's assigned location is
more than one hour from an Ecology regional office, then WCC follows weather -related guidance of federal, state and
local governments. Only WCC can instruct a crew or IP to shut -down due to weather. Sponsors are not charged for WCC-
initiated, weather related shut -downs or delays.
If a shut -down is requested by the SPONSOR for any reason, then the sponsor is responsible for crew costs.
Appendix A: Page 1 of 3
ECOLOGY shall:
1. Provide WCC members for the number of weeks specified in this agreement. Full -term crews and Individual
Placements are available to SPONSOR for a maximum of 169 days (approximately 42 weeks) during program service year
(October -September).
2. Enroll members to begin service no sooner than October 1, 2025 and no later than October 16, 2025. Any further
member enrollment for the remainder of the program year is at the discretion of ECOLOGY and based on availability.
3. In the event of a disaster response deployment, ECOLOGY will make every effort to fulfill SPONSOR needs, including
sending additional members, whenever possible. Unless disaster response activities are requested by the sponsor,
sponsors are not charged for WCC's emergency and disaster responses.
4. Provide training and development specified in Appendix B: eight days of formal WCC training, a two to four day
Orientation Training, day of training in noxious weed control, and one day for a debrief meeting near the conclusion of
the term. Beyond dates included in Appendix B, Ecology will schedule up to six additional days of Supervisor training or
meetings during the term. WCC members and supervisors are logging hours on the dates identified for WCC-sanctioned
events, but are unavailable to SPONSOR. ECOLOGY will provide a four day Assistant Supervisor training to the designated
Assistant Supervisor.
5. Each full -term crew or IP may spend up to two weeks (eight days) with an alternative sponsor during the crew year.
These dates will be determined in coordination with their full -term Sponsor.
6. For crews, ECOLOGY agrees to provide a crew of 5 members, a crew supervisor, vehicle, and basic hand tools. Rates
are not based on actual attendance, however, invoices will be reduced for member or supervisor vacancies and absences
lasting 20 days or more. If a crew has two or fewer individuals available to serve, ECOLOGY will not bill for that service
day.
7. If members are enrolled in Americorps, then these policies and procedures are in place:
a. Members enrollment start and end dates will reflect the timeframe to complete a 1700-hour, full -term service
year or a 1200-hour, three-quarter service term in order to receive an AmeriCorps Education Award.
b. WCC members will have one day dedicated to MLK Community Service, listed in Appendix B.
SPONSOR shall:
1. Guide completion of appropriate projects for number of weeks specified in this agreement by providing logistical,
technical and safety -related support necessaryfor project completion. Provide site orientation for WCC members, site -
specific training, and materials beyond basic hand tools to complete tasks. Obtain and ensure adherence to applicable
permits as set by local, state, tribal or federal laws and regulations.
2. Help promote WCC brands, logo, slogans and phrases. WCC will provide camera-ready logo.
3. For a SPONSOR hosting Individual Placement positions, SPONSOR agrees to provide computer access, email,
transportation to and from WCC events (or private mileage reimbursement), and day-to-day direction of activities.
4. For a SPONSOR hosting full -term WCC Crew(s), SPONSOR shall provide a secure site to store tools and park crew
vehicles that allows access to potable water and restrooms as well as desk and internet access for the crew supervisor. In
the event of theft, vandalism, or loss due to negligence of the SPONSOR, the SPONSOR shall provide reimbursement (75
percent sponsor share) of expenditures and deductibles.
5. For a SPONSOR that assigns WCC crew(s) or WCC Individual Placement members to serve with other organizations,
SPONSOR shall inform the other organizations of WCC policies, procedures and contract terms.

JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CONSENT AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Josh Peters, County Administrator
FROM: Sophie DeGroot, Noxious Weed Control Coordinator
DATE: September 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Noxious Weeds Agreement — No. WCC-25035
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Each year, the Jefferson County Noxious Weed Control Board aims to control as many acres of noxious
weeds as possible within County borders.
ANALYSIS:
Partnering with the Washington Conservation Corps is an important aspect of carrying out noxious weed
control in Jefferson County. Working with the crews increases the amount of work we can in many of our
contracts, especially controlling Scotch broom on the PUD corridor.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a fiscally neutral request because the funds for this contract are paid out of funds already dedicated
by various contracts with public agencies.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that the BoCC approve this contract.
