Conservation Futures 2012 Funding Cycle
To:
Date:
SUbject:
Again this fall, the Committee and I would like to present our recommendations for the
upcoming Conservation Futures Program funding cycle and provide a brief update on the
status of recent projects. The 2012 cycle marks the tenth anniversary of the program. To
date eighteen projects have been awarded funding and over 600 acres protected.
Status of Funded Prolects
Annual project reports were requested and received from the following CFF projects this
year:
2009 Qulmper Wildlife Corridor and Winona 8asin - Bloedel
Brown Dairy
Carleson Chlmacum Creek
Finnriver Farm
Glendale Farm
Salmon Creek Riparian Acquisition
Tamanowas Rock and Nicholson Short Plat
Tarboo Wildlife Preserve East Side Addition
No issues of concern arose at any of these conservation futures-funded sites according to
the annual stewardship reports. Monthly public tours of various sections of the Quimper
Wildlife Corridor continue to be led by Jefferson Land Trust-trained docent volunteers.
Northwest Watershed Institute removed a road fill and culvert across a tributary at the
Tarboo Wildlife Preserve East Side Addition. Brown Dairy was purchased by Chimacum
Diary LLC and leased to Mt. Townsend Creamery. Last spring, Finnriver Farm opened a
new interpretive nature trail for guests. Glendale farm Is expanding its operations to
include new fruit tree plantlngs.
Four approved projects are not yet completed. Progress is being made towards the
acqUisition ofTamanowas Rock by the Jamestown S'K1allam Tribe and State Parks Is
seeking funds to annex the Nicholson Short Plat east of Andersen Lake. Unfortunately, the
Salmon Creek Riparian Acquisition Project will not go forward as the landowners have

decided not to sell their interests in the property. The Carleson Chlmacum Creek project Is
slated to move forward In January and the Winona Basin - Bloedei will likely follow soon
after.

Program Materials
The Committee and staff recommend many housekeeping-type revisions to the 2011
project materials for 2012. Question #12 of the application now Includes an upfront
request for backup information on previousiy acquired properties being proposed as
match. Question #21 now Includes links to habitat and listed species Information. The
program manual clarifies match and application submission requirements, and also
contains updates to code references, the project agreement template and the map of
previously funded projects. Only one minor change was made to the ranking sheet in
Question #10, To what degree will (rather than "does") the acquisition provide
educational opportunities, Interpretive opportunities, and/or serve as a general
community resource? The specific changes to program materials may be viewed on the
county's conservation Mures webslte In the Appendices of the draft committee meeting
minutes for November 17, 2011.
Program Process and Schedule
The committee felt that no changes to the process used In 2011 to rank projects for
recommendation to you are necessary. We propose that the application period this year
begin on Wednesday, January 11 and end on Monday, March 5. Currently, we anticipate
that the meeting to hear project presentations wlll occur on the evening of April 11 with
site visits the foliowlng day. The meeting to rank projects would then likely occur on the
afternoon of May 2.
Public Outreach
Staff and two past award recipients were Interviewed about the program and its
outcomes on KPT2ln November. Taml Pokorny has been developing a Conservation
Futures Program display for use at public offices and events. She anticipates It will be
ready In time for the Jefferson County Conservation District Plant Sale on February 25. The
funding round Is advertised In both the peninsula Daily News and The Leader and
extensively by email. Once again, the project presentation meeting will be held In the
evening with the hope that more of the public will be available to attend.
I would once again like to cordially invite the Board of County Commissioners and all
interested citizens to attend any of our committee meetings and events. Our meeting
schedule and program Information are displayed on our webslte at:

Overview
Jefferson County welcomes your application to the Conservation Futures Program (CF
Program). Please do not hesitate to contact Jefferson County Environmental Health
Department with questions at Ph: 360/385-9444, Fax: 360/379-4487 or
tpokomy@coJefferson.wa.us. The Conservation Futures Program website is
http://www.coJefferson.waus/commissioners!Conservation/conservation.asp.
In July 2002, the county commissioners approved Conservation Futures Ordinance, now
codified at Jefferson County Code Section 3.08in accordance with the Revised Code of
Washington (RCW) Chapter 84.34. The ordinance establishes goals for the county's
Conservation Futures Program and an allocation process for the conservation futures tax levy.
The purpose of the CF Program is to acquire open space lands, including green spaces,
greenbelts, fish and wildlife habitat, trail rights-of-ways,agticulturalland and timber land (as
those terms are defined in Ch. 84.34 RCW). Projects may irlclude fee-simple or any lesser
interest or development right with respect to real property as well as operation and
maintenance (0 & M) activities. 0 & M projects must be linked to CF-funded acquisitions.
A 50% match is required for all project types. Match must be cash, land trades, the value
of land to be traded, or other open spaces linked to the property under application. Open
space, wildlife habitat, agricultural and timber lands are all eligible. The project sponsor
must sign a grant agreement with the county (see Appendix A).County code (JCC
03.08.030(10)) requires that properties or easements be held by public entities or others
as defined in RCW 84.34.210. Government entities may choose to share title ofa
property with a non-profit nature conservancy corporation or association. Public open
spaces must be available on the same conditions to all residents of the county for the
benefit of all Jefferson County residents and visitors. Applicants for projects may include
the county, municipalities, park districts, state or federal agencies, private non-profit
corporations or associations, and private individuals.
Project applicants must be represented by a local sponsoring organization based in Jefferson
County. Potential sponsors include local governments, special purpose districts and non-
profit corporations. A list of potential sponsors is available by contacting program staff.
Project 'sponsors are responsible for the content and submission of the application, the
presentation of project proposals to the CF Committee, organizing and hosting videotaped
site visits, the stewardship plan and its implementation, and all contracting, reporting, and
reimbursement obligations with Jefferson County.
Available funding is announced early in the calendar year and applications are
provided by Jefferson County Environmental Health. Conservation Futures
Funds monies can be the collateral, revenue stream or security for long-term
financing (typically bonds) in a manner consistent with law. Public workshop(s)
may be held prior to the start of the funding round. Staff is always available to
answer questions from sponsors, applicants, and interested parties.
Applications are typically due the first Monday in March and sponsors present projects to the
CF Committee and host site visits in April. In April or May, the CF Committee meets to rank
projects, determine recommended funding levels, and compose its overall recommendations
to the BoCC. The BoCC makes award determinations in June. Funding for reimbursement is
generally not available until August. At least every other year, the BoCC reviews the

Please discuss dates for closings and loan periods with program Staff to help ensure thatgrant
funds are ready and available when needed.
