Project Description
to. In 1000 words or less, provide a summary description of the project, the match, overarching
goal, and three top objectives. Include information about the physical characteristics of the site
that is proposed for acquisition with Conservation Futures Program funds including.
vegetation, topography, surrounding land use, and relationship to parks, trails, and open
space. Describe the use planned for the site, any development plans after acquisition (including
passive development), characteristics of the site which demonstrate that it is well - suited to the
proposed use, and plans for any structures currently on the site. If applicable, describe how
the site relates to the larger project, and whether the project has a plan, schedule and funding
dedicated to its completion. Please also list any important milestones for the project or critical
dates, e.g, grant deadlines. List the dates and explain their importance. Please attach a
spreadsheet of the budget.
The City of Port Townsend, Jefferson Land Trust and Jefferson County have been working with the
community since the mid 1990's to protect a ribbon of green across the Quimper Peninsula, connecting
a series of wetlands, mature native forest and floodplains that provide habitat for over 200 bird species,
amphibians and mammals. The 3'% mile Quimper Wildlife Corridor stretches from Middlepoint to Fort
Worden State Park and has a high diversity of habitat and wildlife species, qualifying as a priority
habitat under the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Priority Habitat and Species Program. It
also provides recreational opportunities for community members and visitors on the many trails that
weave through the forested habitats of the corridor and adjacent Cappy's Woods area. Much of the
area containing the corridor was platted into 50 x 100 lots in the 1880's and development pressures in
certain areas are high. Over the nearly 20 years that the project has been underway, project partners
have been steadily preserving the puzzle pieces of the corridor, as landowners choose to donate or sell
parcels to the effort. Community contributions, Jefferson County Conservation Futures Funding, state
and federal grants have been critical to the corridor preservation effort.
The City of Port Townsend and Jefferson Land Trust are proposing the purchase of two properties,
each consisting of 4 platted parcels in two areas of the corridor. As part of required match, another
additional forested trail and wetland buffer property will be donated to the City for permanent protection.
Parcel 1 includes four forested lots located on the corner of East Sapphire Street and is currently listed
for sale through John L Scott. A significant portion of the property is shown as 100 -year floodplain on
the City's critical area maps, and the presence of wetland vegetation is confirmation. The property
provides an important link between the City owned Quaking Aspen Wetland to the east and City owned
floodplain property to the west. The floodplain habitat of the property would be compromised if the
remaining portion were to be developed.
Parcel 2 is located directly north and adjacent to wetland and wetland buffer properties preserved
through Jefferson Land Trust and the City. The landowner contacted Jefferson Land Trust and has
offered to sell her property below the market rate. This parcel is significant for preservation due to the
mature forest habitat and recreational trail used by many local residents. The parcel being donated as
match is adjacent to the Quaking Aspen Wetland and provides buffer habitat to the wetland and a major
trail corridor with Cappy's Woods that has been recognized by the City as important to protect for
current and future recreational use. All properties proposed for acquisition will be maintained as native

forested habitat. All of the match for the Conservation Futures proposal is in hand and consists of the
property donations mentioned above, as well as community
Trust. contributions collected by Jefferson Land
The three top objectives for this project are:
1) Acquire high priority threatened properties from the willing sellers.
2) Utilize adjacent donated parcel and bargain sale value as match
3) Permanently protect the properties as wild open space in partnership between the City of Port
Townsend and Jefferson Land Trust.
With Conservation Futures grant funds in hand, the acquisitions should be complete by Fall of 2014.
11. Estimate costs below, including the estimated or appraised value of the properties) or
property right(s) to be acquired, even if Conservation Futures funds will only cover a portion
of the total project cost. In the case of projects involving multiple acquisitions, please break
out appraisals and estimated acquisition costs by parcel.
a. Estimated or Appraised Value of Propert(ies) to be Acquired:
Parcel 1 — $34,000 (list price is $24,900)
Parcel 2 — $42,000 (asking price of $25,000)
Match parcel - $12,000
Total value - $88,000
b. Total Estimated Acquisition - related Cost (see Conservation Futures Manual for eligible costs):
Parcel 1 - $600
Parcel 2 - $1,700
Match Parcel - $300
Project Management and legal - $5,000
Total Acquisition Related costs - $7,600
c. Total Operation and Maintenance Cost: $5,000
d. Total Project Cost: $100,600
Basis for Estimates (include information about how the property value(s) was determined,
anticipated acquisition - related costs, general description of operation and maintenance work
to be performed, task list with itemized budget, and anticipated schedule for completion of
work):
The cost estimates are based on an appraisal conducted by Judy Maves -Klatt of MK Appraisal on
February 27h, 2014, of the two properties proposed for acquisition as well as the match parcel.
Parcel 1 was valued at $34,000. Parcel 2 was valued at $42,000. The appraised value of the parcel
1014 Conservation Futures Application and Score Sheet
being donated as match is $12,000. In addition, the asking price for Parcel 1 is $24,900 and Parcel
2 is $25,000, therefore there is additional land match in the amount of $26,100. Anticipated project
related costs include; appraisals, title insurance and closing costs, taxes and recording fees, project
management. At this time, Jefferson Land Trust will be covering the costs associated with
Operations and Maintenance and that amount of $5,000 has been included in the total project cost.
The acquisition is anticipated to be complete before the end of 2014.

NOTE. Matching funds are strongly recommended and a higher rating will be assigned to those
projects that guarantee additional resources for acquisition. Donation of property or a property
right will be considered as a matching resource. Donation of resources for on -going maintenance or
stewardship ( "in- kind" contributions) are not eligible as a match.
2 a. Sponsoring agency X is _is not prepared to provide long -term stewardship (maintenance,
up -keep, etc.) for the proposed project site.
2014 Conserva"On Fruures Application and Score Sheet
The City and Jefferson Land Trust anticipate a stewardship program of annual monitoring to insure that
the properties remain forever wild, that no building or development has occurred, that no trash has
accumulated, and that no noxious weeds have invaded the property. Jefferson Land Trust staff and
trained community volunteers and neighbors will conduct monitoring, maintenance and restoration
efforts and are already monitoring adjacent properties. The Land Trust relies on trained professionals,
including habitat biologists, foresters and others as appropriate.
b. Describe any existing programs or future plans for stewardship of the property, including the
nature and extent of the commitment of resources to carry out the stewardship plan.
The Land Trust will conduct stewardship, monitoring and maintenance of the properties along with the
rest of the Quimper Wildlife Corridor according to the Quimper Wildlife Corridor Management Plan (City
of Port Townsend Ordinance 2976). The Land Trust's stewardship program includes annual monitoring
(at least) of protected properties and easements, upkeep and maintenance (trash removal, signage,
invasive plant control) and restoration efforts (tree planting, trail building, etc.) Jefferson Land Trust will
conduct at least annual monitoring of the property by professional staff and trained volunteers,
extensive data collection and management, help with stewardship, enhancement and restoration goals
and legal defense of the conservation easements should it become necessary. Jefferson Land Trust
has a legal defense fund of nearly $420,000 and continues to build this fund with each new easement
acquisition, recognizing the legal obligation and responsibility of protecting conservation values in
perpetuity.
For several years now Jefferson Land Trust has coordinated an exciting opportunity for community
members to deepen their engagement with our local landscape. The Northwest Naturalists Program
trains participants over an 8 week period in wetland ecology, plant and animal identification, geology,
wildlife tracking and other topics. Each year several participants have committed to being preserve
stewards for protected properties, including the QWC. The program has also resulted in a Natural
History Society that offers natural history presentations on a regular basis.
3 a. Describe the sponsoring agency's previous or on -going stewardship experience
Jefferson Land Trust continues to implement a rigorous stewardship program for the roughly 12,300
acres it currently stewards in Jefferson County. These stewardship obligations include properties
protected with 54 conservation easements, Jefferson Land Trust preserves and land owned by partner
organizations and agencies such as Washington State Parks, Jefferson County, the City, Washington
Department of Natural Resources and the Hoh River Trust. The Land Trust is the only local
organization or agency that has a monitoring and stewardship program for conservation easements and
preserved properties, developed with the guidance of The Land Trust Alliance and utilized effectively
for 25 years.
As an example, over the last year Jefferson Land Trust worked with many community volunteers,
Chimacum students and Port Townsend High School students, and partner organizations like North
Olympic Salmon Coalition and the Jefferson County Conservation District to replant and restore salmon
habitat on Chimacum Creek and Snow Creek. These stewardship projects provide students and folks
of all ages the opportunity to get on the land, learn about salmon life cycles and make improvements in
the habitat so critical for the salmon survival.

by the landowners interested in preserving the conservation values of their properties, either through
outright sale, sale of conservation easements and donation of either as match. Community support and
other public funding sources as match have also been a demonstration of the value of the approved
projects.
4 a. Property X can _cannot feasibly be acquired in a timely fashion with available resources.
b. Necessary commitments and agreements X are _are not in place.
c. All parties X are _are not in agreement on the cost of acquisition.

below, including the site's importance to the plan. Please reference the website of the plan if
available or include the plan with this application.
_complements an adopted open space or conservation plan, but is not specifically identified.
Please describe below, and describe how the proposed acquisition is consistent with the plan.
_is a stand -alone project.
The properties proposed for acquisition were indicated in the Quimper Wildlife Corridor Management
Plan that was adopted by the City of Port Townsend on May 19, 2008, Ordinance 2967. This
management plan is available at the City's website, http:// www .cityofpt.us/dsd/planning.asp.
The entire Quimper Wildlife Corridor lies in the area recognized in Jefferson County's Comprehensive
Plan map as Parks, Recreation Areas, Conservation Easements and Areas for Future Cooperative
Preservation Efforts. It is also recognized in the City of Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan, and the
Parks and Open Space Plan. The Land Trust, the City of Port Townsend, Jefferson County, state
2014 Conservation Futures Application and Score Sheet
agencies, the local Audubon and Native Plant Society Chapter, and US Fish & Wildlife have been
partnering on the project since the mid 1990's. These parcels have been identified in the acquisition
priorities of the project since the beginning due to the wetland, floodplain, buffer and upland forest
values, http:l/ www. co. jef ferson .wa.uslidms/pdfs/parks99.pdf
Jefferson Land Trust's Conservation Plan for Jefferson County, prepared with the input of many
community members and adopted in 2010 specifically identifies the Quimper Wildlife Corridor. The
plan is located on the Jefferson Land Trust website at www.saveland.org.
6. Conservation Opportunity or Threat:
a. The proposed acquisition site X does _does not provide a conservation or preservation
opportunity which would otherwise be lost or threatened.
b. If applicable, please carefully describe the nature and immediacy of the opportunity or threat,
and any unique qualities about the site.
The City and Jefferson Land Trust have been attempting to acquire Parcel 1 for nearly 20 years and
landowners finally listed the property in this last year. The landowner of Parcel 2 is eager to sell her
property and neighbors and the land owner herself are most interested in seeing the property preserved
for habitat and trail access as part of the QWC.
7. The proposed acquisition:
X provides habitat for State of Washington Priority Habitat and /or State or Federal Threatened,
Endangered or Sensitive species.
X provides habitat for a variety of native flora or fauna species
X contributes to an existing or future wildlife corridor or migration route.
If ajrjrmalive in any of the above, please describe below, and cite or provide documentation of
species' use. t
The QWC provides critical habitat in an area of looming urban development and is home to a wide
variety of flora and fauna, from the humble rough- skinned newt and Calypso orchid to nearly 200 bird
species and numerous small and large mammals. Protection Island, located just offshore of the western
end of the corridor, is a National Wildlife Refuge and home to nearly seventy percent of the seabirds
that nest and breed in all of Puget Sound. Washington Department of Wildlife and the local Audubon
Society have identified several state priority species in the QWC that are sensitive, threatened or listed.
These include: Bald eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Wood duck, Great Blue Heron, Pileated Woodpecker,
Band - Tailed Pigeon, Merlin, Olive Sided Flycatcher, black tailed deer, and bob cat. The corridor allows
these species and others the safety of cover to move between wetland and forest ecosystems.
8 a. Describe the extent and nature of current and planned agricultural use of the proposed
acquisition, including any anticipated changes to that use once the property, or property right,
is acquired with Conservation Futures funds.

9. Describe how the proposed acquisition benefits primarily a local area X broad county area
including the area served, the nature of the benefit, the jarWd- ictions involved, and the
populations served
Protection of the wetland, buffer and floodplain habitats of the QWC provides particular benefits to local
residents in that it provides storm -water filtration and floodplain retention. In general, however,
protection of the QWC habitats provides benefits not only to residents of Port Townsend and
surrounding county areas, but also to the many visitors to our area. The corridor is used extensively for
passive recreation by the community and visitors who enjoy walking the trails, bike riding and
horseback riding. The wetlands and forests of the corridor provide education opportunities for all, and
have been field classrooms for the Cedar Root School, the international Cyber Tracking Program,
Native Plant Society, Jefferson County Master Gardeners, Audubon members conducting annual
Christmas bird counts, and numerous local public and private school students. Realtors from all over
the region taking continuing educational courses at WSU have participated in corridor field trips to
understand wetland ecology. The bike trails of the corridor were identified in a national mountain bike
magazine. Land Trust volunteers continue to conduct regular educational tours to various parts of the
corridor as part of our ongoing community outreach efforts.
10. Describe the educational or interpretive opportunities that exist for providing public access,
educational or interpretive displays (signage, kiosks, etc.) on the proposed site, including any plans
to provide those improvements and any plans for public accessibility.2
The QWC and neighboring Cappy's Woods provide an extensive network of trails within the City of Port
Townsend and out into Jefferson County. In fact, it is possible to walk from McCurdy Point on the west
end of the corridor to Fort Worden State Park with very few road crossings! The City Non - Motorized
Advisory Board and community volunteers conduct regular trail maintenance efforts in the QWC.
Recently location signage was placed in key trail locations in the corridor. Land Trust volunteers are
creating interpretive displays that will provide visitors to the corridor an understanding of the function of
the corridor, as well directing people away from the more sensitive habitat areas.
11. The proposed acquisition _ includes historic or culturally significant resources and
_ is registered with the National Register of Historic Places, or an equivalent program.
_ is recognized locally has having historic or cultural resources.
is adjacent to and provides a buffer for a historic or cultural site.
' The words "education" and "interpretation" are interpreted broadly by the CF Committee.

To: Jefferson County Conservation Futures Advisory Committee Members:
I own four city lots adjacent to the Quimper Wildlife Corridor,
parcel #Prop I.D. 34927 (or Tax Parcel 972901402.) 1 approached Jefferson Land
Trust about selling my property, and they have expressed interest in preserving
these lots. We hope you will be able to contribute funds to help complete this
purchase. I have been a supporter of the Land Trust for many years, and am
delighted to be able to offer this land for preservation at well below its market
value.
This property is adjacent to Land Trust and City-owned property. There is a
significant wetland adjacent to the property. Once these lots are preserved, they will
strengthen the Quimper Wildlife Corridor as it runs from Fort Worden, through the
North Beach neighborhood, and out to Winona and the Levinski Wetlands. All four
lots are wooded, and two of them feature mature cedars and Douglas fir trees. These
trees are at least 120 years old. Pileated woodpeckers, coyotes, owls, raccoons, and
many other native species roam regularly through these woods.
After these four lots are preserved, no city streets will need to be opened in the
surrounding few blocks. This means an additional 60 by 200 foot buffer all around
the lots will never be developed. There is currently a non - motorized vehicle
footpath running past these lots. (It runs along what would be 52nd street, from
Jackman street all the way through to Hendricks street.) Many county citizens use
this footpath. People love this area, and feel blessed to be able to walk through old
growth forest while still within the city limits of Port Townsend.
North Beach neighbors who live near this property have already pledged financial
contributions (to the Land Trust) dedicated to preserving this property. A grant
from your funding pool will ensure that the property is purchased, and preserved
forever. There is very little of this untouched forest left in Port Townsend, so I will
feel thrilled and grateful once this property is saved for future generations to enjoy.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Independent Auditors' Report
Board of Directors
Jefferson Land Trust and Subsidiary
Certified Public Port Townsend, Washington
Accountants We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Jefferson Land Trust and
and Consultants Subsidiary (collectively, JLT, a nonprofit organization), which comprise the consolidated statement
of financial position as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of activities
and changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial
statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this
includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation
and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
CLARK NUBER
opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of JLT as of December 31, 2012, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows
for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
Certified Public States of America.
Accountants Report on Summarized Cori parni ive Information
and Consultants We have previously audited JLrs 2011 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified audit
opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated April 3, 2012. In our opinion, the
summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2011, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from
which it has been derived.
Report on Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a
whole. The consolidated schedule of functional expenses is presented for purposes of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of
management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
financial statements as a whole.

JEFFERSON LAND TRUST AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2011
Note 1- Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization - Jefferson Land Trust (the Land Trust) is a Washington nonprofit corporation, formed on April 7,
1989. The Land Trusts purpose is to acquire, preserve and manage open space lands and easements for land
conservation purposes benefitting the public. The Land Trust also provides information and materials to the public
on land conservation issues. The Land Trust serves Jefferson County on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington.
The Land Trust has been accredited by the national Land Trust Alliance since August 5, 2009.
On September 5, 2007, JLT Resources, LLC was formed with the Land Trust as its only member. JLT Resources,
LLC was formed for the purpose of purchasing and holding land for conservation purposes.
Principles of Consolidation - These financial statements consolidate the statements of Jefferson Land Trust
and JLT Resources, LLC (collectively, "JLT'. Inter - organization balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Basis of Accounting - The consolidated financial statements of JLT have been prepared on the accrual oasis of
accounting.
Basis of Presentation - Net assets, revenues, expenses, gains and losses are classified based on the existence
or absence of donor - imposed restrictions. Accordingly, the net assets of JLT and changes therein are classified
and reported as follows:
Unrestricted Net Assets - Include all net assets on which there are no donor- imposed restrictions for use,
or on which donor- imposed restrictions were temporary and have expired.
Temporarily Restricted Net Assets - Include all net assets subject to donor- imposed restrictions that will
be met either by actions of JLT or the passage of time.
Permanently Restricted Net Assets - Include all net assets received by donations wherein the donors
impose a permanent restriction on the use of the gift. The donors require the gift to be invested and only
Me income from such investments may be used to support the intended cause.
All donor - restricted support is reported as increases in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets,
depending on the nature of the restriction. When restrictions expire (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends
or purpose restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets
and reported in the consolidated statement of activities as net assets released from restriction. Gifts of equipment
are reported as unrestricted support unless explicit donor stipulations specify how the donated assets must be
used. Gifts of long -lived assets with explicit restrictions that specify how the assets are to be used and gifts of
cash or other assets that must be used to acquire long -lived assets are reported as restricted support. Absent
explicit donor stipulations about how long those long -lived assets must be maintained, expirations of donor
restrictions are reported when the donated or acquired long -fived assets are placed in service.

JEFFERSON LAND TRUST AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2012
Note I - Continued
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Equivalents - For reporting purposes, JLT considers all unrestricted highly liquid investments with a
purchased maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentrations - JLT maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts with two financial institutions. JLTs cash
balances may, at times, exceed federally insured limits.
One donor's pledge represented approximately 32% of pledges receivable, and the total of all pledges from board
members represented approximately 41 % of pledges receivable at December 31, 2012.
One donor's pledge represented approximately 14% of pledges receivable, and the total of all pledges from board
members represented approximately 28% of pledges receivable at December 31, 2011.
Investments - Investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in
debt securities are valued at their fair values in the consolidated statement of financial position. The carrying
amount of the investment held in trust is determined by the trustee holding the securities. Unrealized gains and
losses are included in the change in net assets.
JILT has established a designated fund at Jefferson County Community Foundation. As JLT has designated itself
as the beneficiary of the fund, the fund balance and activity are reported in the consolidated financial statements
of JLT as required by GAAP.
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from
outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earrings
and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts.
Balances still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a
charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable.
Grants and Contracts - JLT receives grants and contracts from federal, state, and local agencies, as we" as
from private organizations, to be used for specific programs or land purchases. The excess of grants receivable
over reimbursable expenditures to -date is recorded as deferred revenue.
Furniture and Equipment - Furniture and equipment are capitalized at cost lf purchased, or, it donated, at the
approximate fair value at the date of donation. when retired or otherwise disposed of, the related carrying value
and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the not difference, less any amount
realized from disposition, Is reflected in earnings. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.
Costs of significant improvements are capitalized. JLT provides for depreciation using the straight -line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets of five to ten years.

JEFFERSON LAND TRUST AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2012
Note I - Continued
Land and Easements - JLT records acquisitiaans of land at cost if purchased. Land acquired through donation is
recorded at fair value, with fair values generally based an Independent professional appraisals. These assets fall
into four primary categories:
Conservation Lands - Real property with significant ecological value for habitat, open space, or working
lands. Stewardship programs of JLT manage these properties to protect the natural biological diversity of
the property. JLT manages its working timberland as a Forest Stewardship Council - Certified, managed
forest.
Conservation Easements - Voluntary legal agreements between a landowner and a land trust or
government agency to permanently protect the identified natural features and conservation values of the
property. These easements may be sold or transferred to others so kmg as the assignee agrees to carry
out, in perpetuity, the conservation purposes intended by the original grantor. Conservation easements
owned by JLT protect habitat, open space and working lands, such as family farms, through its
stewardship programs.
Easements acquired represent numerous restrictions over the use and development of land not owned by
JLT. Since the benefits of such easements accrue to the public upon acquisition, the fair market value of
easements acquired is shown in the year of acquisition as an addition to net assets to record the donation
of the easement, and unless conveyed to a public agency for consideration, shown as a reduction in net
assets to record the value of the public's benefit and to recognize that these easements have no
marketable value once severed from the land and held by JLT. Easements held by JLT are carried on the
consolidated statement of financial position at $1 each for tracking and accounting purposes. Two
easements valued at $337,304 in total were donated to JLT during the year ended December 31, 2012.
One other easement was modified during the year ended December 31, 2012, resulting in an increased
value of $ 200, 000. Accordingly, $537,304 of contribution revenue and $537,302 of related write dawn
expense have been reported on the consolidated statement of activities for tra year ended December 31,
2012.
Land Held for Sale - At December 31, 2011, JLT owned one property, Tamenowas Rock Sanctuary, to be
sold in the near future under prearranged agreements with the potential owner. Temanowas Rock
Sanctuary was purchased by JLT with the help of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe and a low interest loan
from the Bullit Foundation (Note 8). The Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe purchased an option on the property
in 2009 which was exercised in December 2012. The Tribe donated a conservation easement on the
property to JLT in 2012 as the intention of the Tribe is to protect the property In perpetuity for both habitat
and cultural purposes. Tamanowas Rock Sanctuary has a long history of cultural ties to the Jamestown
S'Klallam Tribe.
Land Purchase Option - At December 31, 2010, JLT had $52,500 invested in purchase options for
Chimacum Dairy, a historic dairy farm in the Chimacum Valley. These options were sold at cost during the
year ended December 31, 2011, when a group of conservation investors bought the farm, they
reimbursed JLT for the purchase option amount and entered into a long term lease with a local creamery
in Jefferson County. JLT continues to hold a conservation easement on the property for working farm and
habitat purposes. The group of conservation investors includes related parties to JLT.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2012
Note 1- Continued
Purchase Option Received - In 2009, JLT purchased the Tamanowas Rock Sanctuary with the help of the
Jamestown S'IOallam Tribe and a low interest loan from the Bullitt Foundation (Note 6). The Jamestown S'Klallam
Tribe paid $120,000 to JLT in 2009 for an option to purchase the property which was exercised in 2012.
Federal Income Taxes - The Internal Revenue Service has determined Jefferson Land Trust and JLT
Resources, LLC (a disregarded entity) to be exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code
Section 501(c)(3). Contributions to JLT are deductible as allowed under Section 170(b)(I)(A)(%1) of the Code.
JLT files income tax returns with the U.S. government and is subject to income tax examinations for the current
year and certain prior years based on the applicable laws and regulations.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Land Trust elected the provisions of Section 501(h), relating to
expenditures to influence legislation.
Functional Allocation of Expenses - The costs of providing the various programs and other activities have been
summarized on a functional basis in the consolidated statement of activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been
allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited.
Comparative Amounts for 2071 - The financial statements include certain prior -year summarized comparative
information in total but not by net asset Gass. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a
presentation in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with JLTs
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, from which the summarized information was derived.
Subsequent Events - JLT has evaluated subsequent events through March 19, 2013, the date on which the
consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
Note 1- Fair Value Measurements
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair
value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, GAAP uses a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation approaches into three broad levels. The hierarchy gives the
highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs
(Level 3).
valuation Techniques - Financial assets and liabilities valued using Level 1 inputs are based on unadjusted
quoted market prices within active markets. Financial assets and liabilities valued using Level 2 inputs are based
primarily on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets. Financial assets and
liabilities using Level 3 inputs are primarily valued using management's assumptions about the assumptions
market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques utilized to determine fair
value are consistently applied.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been
no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2012 or 2011.
Mutual Funds - Valued at quoted market prices in active markets, which represent the net asset value
(NAV) of shares held by JLT at year -end.
Funds Held at Jefferson County Community Foundation - Valued using the NAV provided by the fund's
manager. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying assets owned by the fund. These
underlying assets are traded in active public markets with observable market data.
There are no significant redemption restrictions or unfunded Commitments on these investments.
Fair Values Measured on a Recurring Basis - Fair values of investments measured on a recurring basis at

restrictions for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Note 11- Permanently Restricted Net Assets
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, JLT had $35,465 and $30,996, respectively, of permanently restricted net
assets. This is comprised of endowment investments (Note 12), the income of which is available to support
general operations.
Note 12 - Endowments
The JLT endowment consists of one fund established to support general operations. As required by GAAP, net
assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-
imposed restrictions.
Interpretation of Relevant Law - JLT's Board of Directors has Interpreted the Washington State Prudent
Management of Institutional Funds Act (PMIFA) as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as
of the gift date of the donor - restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a
result of this interpretation, JLT classifies as permanently restricted net assets (a) the original value of gifts
donated to the permanent endowment, and (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent
endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the
accumulation is added to the fund.

JEFFERSON LAND TR UST AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2012
Note 12 - Continued
The remaining portion of the donor- restricted endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net
assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by
JILT in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by PMIFA. However, JLT has informed
donors of its spending policy which states that no distributions will be made during the first five years of the fund's
existence or until it reaches a threshold balance of $400,000. Since these milestones have not yet been reached,
JLT adds all amounts earned to the permanently restricted balance.
In accordance with PMIFA, JLT considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or
accumulate donor- restricted endowment funds:
- The duration and preservation of the fund;
- The Purposes of JLT and the donor - restricted endowment fund;
- General economic conditions;
- The possible effect of inflation and deflation;
- The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments;
- Other resources of JLT; and
- The investment policies of JLT.

Funds with Defielencles - From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with individual donor restricted
endowment funds may fall below the level that the donor or PMIFA requires JILT to retain as a fund of perpetual
duration. In accordance with GAAR deficiencies of this nature are reported in unrestricted net assets. There were
no such deficiencies as of December 31, 2012 or 2011.
Return Objectives and Risk Parameters - JLT has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment
assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment while
seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Endowment assets include those assets of
donor - restricted funds that JILT must hold in perpetuity or for donor- specified periods as well as board- designated
funds. Under this policy, as approved by the Board of Directors, the endowment assets are invested in a manner
that is intended to produce results that exceed the price and yield results of a custom Policy Index made up of
various indices. The composition of the custom Policy Index is based upon the strategic asset allocation of the
investment portfolio and assumes a moderate level of Investment risk. The investment objectives of the
Operations Endowment Fund include maintenance of principal, timely liquidity, and preservation of purchasing
power over time.

Strategies Employed for Achieving Objectives - To satisfy its long -tens rate -of -return objectives, JLT notes
that for funds earmarked for capital appreciation, appropriate investments include intermediate tens bond
fundslETF's, equity mutual funds, equity ETF's, and unconstrained bond funds.
Spending Policy and How the Investment Objectives Relate to the Spending Policy - JLT's spending policy
intends that no distributions may be made from the Operations Endowment Fund for the first five years of its
existence or until it reaches a threshold balance of $400,000, whichever shall first occur. After a fire -year period
or after achieving the $400,000 threshold, distributions shall be mate on an annual basis as determined by the
Board. Regular disbursements should be limited to a maximum of 5% of the value of the portfolio at the beginning
of each fiscal year, or one -half of the income generated by the fund for the most recent fiscal year, whichever is
less. At no time will the distribution of the spendable amount result in the Invasion of the original amounts
donated.

Board of County Commissioners
County Courthouse
Port Townsend, Washington
Dear Sirs;
We appreciate the opportunity to join with you "to provide a system of public open spaces, those open spaces
being necessary for the health, welfare, benefit and safety of the residents of Jefferson County and the
maintenance of Jefferson County as a desirable place to live, visit and locate businesses ". The flexibility you
have provided us in our 2014 allocations from the Conservation Futures Fund, has been most helpful in allowing
us to optimize use of the matching funds we have available in a timely way.
Our request to the Salmon Recovery Funding Board for a cast increase was turned down as they determined
that such a change could affect the overall ranking of the project, but they have approved an adjustment of the
required match.
With the $42,000 available from the Jefferson County Conservation Futures Fund, Jefferson Land Trust
respectfully requests that you allocate $31,176 for acquisition of parcels in the Quimper Wildlife Corridor, and
allocate the remaining $10,824 to Snow Creek Watershed Acquisitions. This distribution to the QWC, combined
with the matching funds we have available, will enable us to complete the purchase of the two QWC properties
from the willing landowners. One of these properties is currently listed on the open market, and your approval of
this distribution from the Conservation Futures Fund will now enable us to enter purchase and sale agreements
with both landowners.
Once the Snow Creek properties [fee - simple and conservation easementj have been appraised, we will resume
our conversations with those landowners and inform you of the outcomes of those negotiations.
Sincerely yours,
Jefferson Land Trust
Conservation Projects Committee chair

Dear Ms. Pokorny
RE: Ouimaer Wildlife Corridor 2014
Thank you for forwarding a copy of the Conservation Future Funds application for site
acquisition of lots within the city limits. It is our understanding that the "Quimper Wildlife
Corridor" proposal would permanently protect 3 parcels: APN #s 951 904 603, 972 901 402 and
998 002 001 (match parcel) for inclusion in the Corridor through fee- simple acquisition.
You had asked whether the fee simple purchase of the project area for permanent conservation
"would reduce the capacity of land suitable for development necessary to accommodate the
allocated housing and employment growth, as adopted in the countywide planning policies ".
All of the Mattern Parcel (APN# 972 901 402) and portions of the match parcel are identified on
the City's Land Use Map as "Potential Park and Open Space ". This category includes areas that
may have the potential to be included within a comprehensive and interconnected system of open
space and trails. The P /OS (A) overlay appears in areas that could be valuable if maintained as
open spaces, such as wooded areas, drainage corridors, and scenic vistas. Purchase of these
properties was identified as a means of implementing the open space overlay.
All three parcels are zoned for residential development. In regards to residential land, the city
has a theoretical carrying capacity of over 30,000 people and thus, is adequately sized to
accommodate anticipated future urban growth (11,804 by 2036). While the 1996
Comprehensive Plan projected a growth rate of 2.66 %, actual annual growth has averaged less
than 1%.
Given these factors, it is concluded that purchase of the project for permanent conservation
would not reduce the capacity of land suitable for development necessary to accommodate the
allocated housing and employment growth as adopted in the countywide planning policies.
Purchase of the three parcels is consistent with the goals and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan. We are pleased to see it recommended for preservation and are hopeful
that the Commissioners approve the application.
Please feel free to contact me at (360) 379 -5084 with any questions
Sincerely,
Judy Surber

JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator
FROM: Tami Pokorny, Environmental Health Specialist II
DATE: July 7, 2014
SUBJECT: Agenda Request: Public Hearing and Possible Decision
Regarding Applications for Conservation Futures Funding in
2014
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
On June 9, the BoCC received the recommendations of the Conservation Futures Citizen Oversight
Committee from Chair Lorna Smith and approved a Public Hearing Notice for the Conservation
Futures Program project applications received in 2014. The notice was published in the Port
Townsend & Jefferson County Leader on June 18, 2014. Staff has requested that the BOCC hold a
public hearing on July 7, 2014 at 10:30 AM. The Conservation Futures Program (JCC 3.08) requires
a duly noticed public hearing to be held as part of the public process of allocating conservation
futures funding to worthy projects that protect public open spaces.
After the hearing, the BoCC may decide which project(s) to fund and consider passing resolutions to
include a factual finding as to whether each project would reduce the county's capacity to accommodate
growth. At the start of the hearing, Tami Pokorny, staff to the Conservation Futures Citizen Oversight
Committee, will summarize the committee's recommendations and recent information provided by
Jefferson Land Trust.
ANALYSIS /STRATEGIC GOALS:
The two applications for conservation futures funding are:
1. Ouimper Wildlife Corridor 2014, $32,500 towards the fee simple acquisition of two properties,
each consisting of four platted parcels within the Corridor, which total 1.4 acres of vacant land. A
significant portion of one property lies within the 100 -year floodplain and the second buffers
previously acquired wetland and wetland buffer parcels. The proposed match is $68,000 in the form
of matching land value and contributions from the community. Jefferson Land Trust is the project
sponsor. The City of Port Townsend is the project applicant. Project location: Sec. 34, T. 31N, R. 1 W

and Sec. 33, T.3 IN, R. 1W.
2. Snow Creek Watershed Acquisitions, $90,824 towards the fee simple purchase of 15 parcels and a
conservation easement on one additional parcel. The project encompasses total of 104 acres of vacant
land, with the exception of one small cabin, and 3,750 feet (both sides) of the main stem of Snow
Creek. The proposed match is $489,826 in the form of a grant from the RCO Salmon Recovery
Funding Board, donated land value, and cash. Jefferson Land Trust is the project sponsor. Project
location: Sec. 2, T. 28N, R. 2W and Sec. 11, T. 28N, R. 2W.
At its April 30, 2014 meeting, the Conservation Futures Citizen Oversight Committee voted unanimously
that both projects are worthy of funding and recommended that the funds be allocated this year and the
BoCC work with applicants as to where the funds will be expended due to an error in estimating the
amount of funds available. The June 9 agenda packet, including the Chair's letter, may be viewed online
at: hU: / /www.co.iefferson wa.us/ commissioners / Agenda /2014 %2OAgendas /06- 09- 14pdf.
A letter dated June 24 from project sponsor Jefferson Land Trust provides an update to the requested
funding amounts as follows:
"CC
Quim er Wildlife Corridor 2014
$31,176
Snow Creek Watershed
$10,824
Acquisitions
The updated total request for funding equals $42,000 which is equal to the amount available to new
projects.
This briefing packet contains:
• Two conservation futures applications and supporting documentation
1). Quimper Wildlife Corridor 2014
2). Snow Creek Watershed Acquisitions
• Map of conservation futures projects 2003 -2013
• Memos from Stacie Hoskins, Jefferson County Department of Community Development
planning manager, regarding the Snow Creek Watershed Acquisitions project and Judy
Surber, City of Port Townsend planning manager, regarding the Quimper Wildlife Corridor
2014 project.
• June 24 letter from Owen Fairbank, Jefferson Land Trust conservation projects committee
chair
• Draft resolutions for each of the proposed projects with award amounts entered consistent
with the updated funding requests.
The purpose of the CF Program is to address the "general and increasing need to provide a system of
public open spaces... for the health, welfare, benefit and safety of the residents of Jefferson County," and
to maintain "Jefferson County as a desirable place to live, visit and locate businesses." Conservation
futures tax levy collections, authorized under RC W 84.34.230 are an important means of retaining
community character and accomplishing open space policies and objectives of the Jefferson County
Comprehensive Plan. The goal of the program is to preserve and protect the county's open space
resources from development, and from being "negatively and permanently affected."

On January 3, 2006, the BOCC approved Ordinance No. 01- 0103 -06 in response to Chapter 449 of that
year which allowed up to 15% of the conservation future levy monies raised in the preceding year to be
used for operations and maintenance needs. Although no O & M funds are being requested at this time,
Chapter 449 also states that local governments must consider and analyze whether new CF projects would
reduce capacity to accommodate planned growth.
Grant agreements for approved projects between Jefferson Land Trust and the county will be developed
by Environmental Health and submitted to the BoCC for approval.
