PUBLIC COMMENTS None OLD BUSINESS and INFORMATIONAL ITEMS Nurse Family Partnership—Regional Approach • Ms. Baldwin reported that she met with the Clallam County BOH to discuss how Nurse Family Partnership can help reduce the numbers of low birth weight, preterm delivery, teen births and • infant mortality in Clallam County. Clallam County BOH was supportive of JCPH writing letters to the Tribes and home visiting providers to offer NFP services. EPA Homeowner Process Report Linda Atkins, Environmental Health Specialist,updated the Board on the progress of forming a work group to facilitate changes to the onsite sewage code. She reported that bid requests went out to 5 firms for facilitation of the work group. The bids are due November 21, 2011. There will be an ad in the Leader next week for work group participants. Ms. Atkins anticipates the work group to meet over the first 3 months and expects them to complete their work and bring a draft of recommendations of changes of the onsite sewage codes O&M section by March 2012 to the BOH. Health Changes/State Budgets Ms. Baldwin reviewed the press release on the Governors suggested budget cuts. Ms. Danskin handed out OFM's 4th quarter budget predictions and there was a handout was from Jefferson Healthcare on talking points for legislative visits. They are hoping for revenue plus cuts rather than an all cut budget. If an agreement is reached in special session it will be a worse case scenario of what all the cuts would look like and then they would try to buy back programs with targeted revenue. Member Buhler reported this is the first year she has meet with Congressional representatives in Washington, D.C. and was told that federal resources are no longer available • to help fund needed programs and that she would have to go back to her local community for support. Member Buhler stressed that the Critical Access funding formula for rural hospitals must be protected. Smile Mobile,WIC Ms. Danskin reported that the Smile Mobile was in Chimacum for a week and a half. JCPH scheduled the appointments for the Smile Mobile. Ms. Danskin also presented a graph that outlined how WIC Outreach efforts have been a success and there has been an increase in participation since July. New Business Proposed Environmental Health Fee Schedule Briefing Ms. Baldwin handed out a table from Clallam County which compares the environmental health fees of comparable counties. Ms. Shaw presented a spreadsheet comparing 2011 Environmental Health fees to the 2012 proposed fees which show a CPIW (Consumer Price Index for Washington) increase of 3.9%. Ms. Shaw pointed out that the only other change made to the fees were for Well Inspection and Water Sample for Loan. This is a new fee which Susan Porto explained was previously rolled into Onsite Evaluation of Existing System fee. Banks are requiring a separate inspection be done by the health department for the property owner's loan. • 4. • Member Westerman moved to hold a public hearing at the December 15,2011 BOH meeting on the revised Environmental Health fees. The motion was seconded. The motion passed unanimously. Substance Abuse Prevention Redesign Initiative Ms. Danskin reported that Port Townsend is one of 19 communities chosen to receive support from the Prevention Redesign Initiative to focus on keeping youth, young adults and others free of alcohol and other drug misuse.

Temporary Food Service Report Alison Petty, Environmental Health Specialist gave a presentation on the challenges the food team has encountered in temporary food service permitting and inspections. Ms. Petty showed examples of what a temporary food establishment is and the risk factors involved with serving food in temporary settings. Ms. Baldwin discussed the draft letter that was included in the agenda packet which is intended to be sent to event coordinators in Jefferson County, advising event coordinators on the information necessary to process multiple day event applications. • Ms. Baldwin announced Jared Keefer is the new Environmental Health Director and will be starting in January. Letter to Legislature Dr. Locke discussed the letter to Representatives Tharinger and Van De Wege and Senator Hargrove, a draft copy of which was included in the agenda packet. Dr. Locke pointed out the section in the letter that addresses public health funding sources that have already been greatly reduced and the impact that has had on public health. He also stated the letter advocates for a balanced approach of increased revenue and decreased expenditures rather than an"all cuts" budget. Board Members suggested changes to verbiage in the letter and corrections to errors that are in Board Members titles on the letter head. Member Austin made a motion to direct the Medical Officer to complete the letter with agreed changes and submit for signatures of the Board Members. The motion was seconded. The motion passed unanimously. ACTIVITY UPDATE Julia Danskin announced there will be a forum on jobs in Jefferson County December 6, 2011 at the Unitarian Church in Port Townsend. • Member Austin announced on November 22,2011 from 9 to 2 the Environmental Health Commission of the State Board of Health will be meeting at the Commissioners Chambers. • Member Austin invited anyone interested to come to the meeting.

PUBLIC COMMENTS None OLD BUSINESS and INFORMATIONAL ITEMS Correspondence—Department of Health Dr. Locke announced that Jefferson County has been renewed as a Geographic Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Area. This designation allows an enhanced reimbursement for primary care services delivered by rural health clinics, higher Medicare payments for physicians, • and eligibility for recruitment of National Health Service Corps-sponsored practitioners. BOH Minutes October 20,2011 • Frances Joswick, Chair of the Substance Abuse Advisory Board presented a letter that the Substance Abuse Advisory Board sent to the legislature requesting the current recommended budget cuts not be implemented for essential substance abuse and mental health services. Ms. Joswick requested that Dr. Locke, Ms. Baldwin, and the Board also submit a letter to support the efforts of the Substance Abuse Advisory Board. There was discussion as to what needs to be included in the letter, where reductions are possible, revenue sources and the importance of focusing on community impacts when we face huge cuts. A draft letter will be included in the November agenda packet. Regulation of E-Cigarettes and Single Cigarettes Ms. Danskin presented a tobacco awareness handout. The handout covers how to report a violation of smoking in public places and states that the sale of single cigarettes is illegal. It addresses what an e-cigarette is and law concerning the sale and use of E-cigarettes. King County has adopted rules which make it illegal to sell e-cigarettes to minors, via vending machine, offer free or discounted e-cigarettes or to use e-cigarettes in any area where smoking is prohibited by law. The Board discussed the benefit of adopting an ordinance such as King County's. 2011 Girls Night Out Report Ms. Danskin announced that she received an e-mail stating that JCPH will be receiving a check for over $3,000 from proceeds at Girls Night Out. • Kitsap Public Health District Strategic Plan at a Glance Dr. Locke included a copy of the 2011-2021 Strategic Plan at a Glance for Kitsap County. The plan presents a vision for what Kitsap Public Health should look like in five years. Jefferson County is facing many of the same issues that the Kitsap County Health District addressed in their strategic plan. Staff Stars Ms. Baldwin congratulated four JCPH employee's for their recent accomplishments. Margie Boyd, Environmental Health Specialist, received the solid waste trophy, Ms. Danskin received the trophy from Main Street Program, Ms. Shaw, partnering with the Department of Health, CDC, and other county health departments has completed the Immunization Billing Resource Guide; Tammy Pokorny was recognized for the technical writing of the manual. Quen was invited by Dr. Robert Anda(CDC) to join with him in presenting at the Alberta Family Wellness Initiative on the topic of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES). This was a huge honor in recognition of her leading role in bringing ACES into practice in Jefferson County. The event was broadcast and will be posted online. • 2 BOH Minutes October 20,2011 • Port Townsend Paper Company Solid Waste Permit Update A copy of a recent letter sent by Dr. Locke to the Port Townsend Paper Company was included in the Board packet as an information item. The State Department of Ecology and Jefferson County Public Health are in the process of reviewing the classification of the Company's solid waste landfill and have determined that it should be reclassified from an inert waste to a limited purpose landfill. Dr. Locke advised the Board that the Jefferson County Solid Waste Code has a two step appeals process for regulatory decisions. The first step is an administrative hearing before the health officer. The second step involves an appeal before the local board of health. Should the Port Townsend Paper Company decide to appeal the reclassification decision, the issue could eventually come before the Board. New Business Proposal to Combine City and County Solid Waste Enforcement Ms. Baldwin discussed a letter to the City Council that was included in the agenda packet which outlined the current solid waste enforcement jurisdictions between the City and County. Ms. Baldwin clarified the scope of JCPH's authority and work and discussed the proposal to combine City and County solid waste enforcement efforts. WA State Public Health Indicators 41) Dr. Locke presented 3 graphs from the recently updated version of the Washington State Local Public Health Indicators. Dr. Locke included 3 graphs in the agenda packet as examples of how Jefferson County compares to other counties and to the State average. The graphs showed that Jefferson County has lower teen pregnancy rates and more years of healthy life expected at age 20 than the State average. Teen alcohol use is higher than the State average. Dr. Locke stated that the Public Health Indicators system was created to track changes in key measures of community health status. All data and graphs can be found on line at www.fortress.wa.gov. EPA Homeowner Process Report Linda Atkins, Environmental Health Specialist, updated the Board on the status of upcoming changes to the onsite sewage code. She announced they will be assembling an advisory board to prepare the onsite sewage code that would allow homeowners to do their own monitoring inspections. She informed the Board that Environmental Health has continued to work with Online RME, a computer data entry company, and Clallam County regarding the way homeowners will input their data in the computer. She has been in contact with Clallam County on the status of their pilot program for online education for homeowner inspection. Ms. Atkins also informed the Board that she has attended two realtor meetings in an effort to educate professionals in the county on ways to access septic records and monitoring inspections on line. Member Westerman recommended that an ad be run in The Leader posting the positions on the advisory board. In addition Member Buhler suggested that the applicants must have specific • qualifications to be chosen as a part of the advisory board. 3 BOH Minutes October 20,2011 • Ms. Atkins concluded by stating that the hope is to bring the revisions of the code to the Board by February 2012. Environmental Health Time Study Report Veronica Shaw reported that a unit cost study is nearly completed to be used to establish fees. Environmental Health Fees Ms. Baldwin reported that the time study is tied to proposed revisions of the Environmental Health Fees. After completion of the time study, a fee schedule change will be brought to the November Board meeting. Nurse Family Partnership—Regional Approach Ms. Baldwin informed the Board that she has been involved in several meetings with counties that are interested in becoming involved with Nurse Family Partnership. Ms. Baldwin reported that a discussion has been started with the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, who has a grant, staff and approval from tribal council, but they do not have staff trained in supervision. JCPH has trained supervisory staff but is losing funds to pay for the position, so they are discussing working with the tribe to do the supervision, which would help the tribes to get started. Ms. Baldwin stated that they will be making the same proposal to the hospital and other Tribes in Clallam County. IP ACTIVITY UPDATE Member Austin suggested that after hearing a talk on the cleanup of water quality on Discovery Bay this may be a worthwhile topic for a presentation to the BOH. Member Austin informed the Board that the new Board of Health Director will be at JCPH October 21, 2011. Chair Nelson asked the status of the Environmental Health Director position being filled. Ms. Baldwin stated that they will be performing a second interview of an applicant in November.

Box 1220 • Port Townsend, WA 98368 www.co.jefferson.wa.us sc,,0 TO: County Commissioners FROM: Philip Morley, County Administrator DATE: December 5, 2011 SUBJECT: Budget Message for the Recommended 2012 Jefferson County Budget This memorandum accompanies the Recommended 2012 Jefferson County Budget. Public comment on the Recommended 2012 Budget is invited at the Board of County Commissioners' Public Hearing, 10:00 AM Monday, December 5, 2011 in the Commissioners' Chambers in the Jefferson County Courthouse. Written comments are also welcome at any time through the end of the hearing. The Board of County Commissioners will consider the public comments as they deliberate, and will give direction for any modifications the Commissioners may wish prior to adopting • a Final 2012 Budget, tentatively scheduled for December 12. OVERVIEW Staff, elected officials and department directors have worked together in preparing a balanced budget for 2012. The Recommended 2011 Jefferson County Budget is $49,184,632 for all funds: • General Fund: $16,081,612; and • Other Funds: $33,103,020. Details of the Recommended 2012 Budget can be viewed and downloaded on-line at www.co.jefferson.wa.us. Table 1 below compares the General Fund budget between 2012 and 2011. TABLE 1 GENERAL FUND 2011 2011 2012 % Change Original Projected Proposed From Budget2011 8Projected General Fund Revenues $15,357,260 $16,008,913 $15,606,787 2 General Fund Expenditures $15,636,049 $16,086,069 $16,081,612 0.0% Estimated Ending Fund Balance $ 2,012,589 $ 2,470,913 $ 2,063,904 —16.0% • Unencumbered Fund Balance $ 448,835 $ 530,306 $ 385,743 -27.0% The General Fund's proposed expenditure of$16,081,612 in 2012 includes $436,184 of one-time expenditures: $267,000 for new appraisal software in the Assessor's Office, • funded by recording fees collected by the state; and $169,000 to continue a deputy sheriff position and a deputy prosecutor position for one year after prior grant funding has expired. Without these one-time expenses, the Recommended 2012 General Fund is $15,645,428, virtually unchanged from the original 2011 budget. This continues the County's strategy — implemented in 2009 - to hold General Fund expenditures flat, despite escalating costs for existing services. The Recommended 2012 General Fund Budget includes across the board reductions of 2% from what would have been a status quo budget based on 2011. The reduction is achieved through a combination of programmatic and service level reductions by each General Fund department, and/or wage savings equivalent to holding general wage adjustments flat during 2012 for all exempt employees and other staff where there are open bargaining agreements, subject to on-going labor negotiations. Additionally, other funds supported by transfers from the general fund were given no increase in transfer amount for 2012. Those funds will absorb any increases in costs elsewhere in their budgets. In this way, we are hoping to avoid any additional layoffs of County employees in 2012. Citizens have played a key role in balancing the budget too. County services in the General Fund and other funds would have been reduced much further in 2011 and 2012 but for the action by the public one year ago to approve Proposition 1 implementing a special purpose sales tax. The Board of County Commissioners placed Proposition 1 on the November 2010 General Election ballot to give citizens a choice whether the county should cut programs and services deeply, or whether certain specific services should be retained with new funding from a 3/101 s of 1% sales tax collected county-wide. Voters approved the special purpose sales tax by 56%. Under state law 60% (approximately $646,000 in 2012) goes to the county to support County services and 40% (approximately $430,000) flows to the City of Port Townsend. The County is expending its share of the funds to retain the specific services that were originally proposed for funding and which would otherwise have been cut. Details of the specific services funded are shown in Attachment 4 to this memo. Outside the General Fund, recommended expenditures will still be lower in 2012 than budgeted for 2011, as shown on Table 2. Public Health and Community Development continue to be significantly impacted by the Great Recession, as is Solid Waste. A reduction in County Roads' annual construction program accounts for the largest portion of the 2012 decrease, caused by a major reduction in Secure Rural Schools funding that reduces the local funds available to match state and federal funds for roads. 2012 will be the last year of Secure Rural Schools funding, unless reauthorized by Congress. TABLE 2 ALL OTHER FUNDS 2011 Budget 2012 Proposed %Change Revenues $32,752,993 $28,696,005 - 12.3% 41) Expenditures $37,075,793 $33,103,020 - 10.7% 2 • Overall, County government continues to shrink. Staffing is 10% smaller than it was in 2008. 279.53 full time equivalent employees (FTEs) are proposed for 2012, compared to 287.41 FTEs budgeted in 2011, a net reduction of 7.88 FTEs. After reductions in prior years, staffing within General Fund departments is relatively stable. Table 3 shows staffing changes in other funds. TABLE 3 Major Budget FTE Changes in 2012 Reductions: FTE Change County Roads -3.72 Community Development -2.50 JeffCom -1.50 Animal Services -1.00 Public Health - 0.98 Gains: FTE Change Parks Et Recreation* +2.66 * temporary increase due to an interlocal agreement with the City of Port Townsend • to fund operation Et maintenance of the Rec Center and Memorial Field The reduction of one position in Animal Control reflects the City of Port Townsend's decision to discontinue contracting with the Sheriff for animal control services starting in 2012. The net 7.88 FTE contraction in staffing countywide would be larger, but for a temporary increase to Parks and Recreation to operate the Recreation Center and Memorial Field in Port Townsend until mid 2015, funded through a four-year Interlocal Agreement with the City with $212,500 per year of the City's share of the Proposition 1 Special Purpose Sales Tax approved by voters countywide last year paying for this service. Grant-funded projects in Community Development and the Environmental Health Division further mask the extent of staffing reductions. A detailed breakdown of staffing levels by department and fund from 2002 through 2012 is attached to this memo as Attachment 3. The Recommended 2012 General Fund Budget continues to respond to the prolonged economic downturn that has reduced revenues, and also adapts to an on-going structural funding gap as normal cost inflation for existing County services outstrips revenue from the county's existing property tax base that is subject to a state-imposed 1% annual growth limit without a public election. The 2012 budget is part of a rolling five-year budget strategy, summarized in Table 4 below. Table 4 shows the General Fund from 2009 to present as well as projected General Fund budgets for the next five years: 2012-2016. • 3 .0 co O) co N 0) O O) N 0 0 0 N- Z . w co O) 0 0 ) p O) O N N N O O CO0) O y N 0 0 A.

As shown on Table 4, in 2011 the General Fund received roughly $600,000 of extra one- time revenue above the 2011 adopted budget. This has come from a number of volatile revenues that just happen to be on an upswing in the same year: timber harvest on State Department of Natural Resources lands managed on behalf of the county, harvest tax from private timber lands, Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILT) revenue for federal lands in the County, and partial reimbursement by the state for 2010 county costs to prosecute an extraordinary criminal justice case. This extra 2011 revenue has allowed the County to take steps to benefit the General Fund in 2012. This includes transferring $250,000 from the General Fund to the Capital Improvement Fund to help cover the county's 2012 debt payment, necessary because a depressed real estate market continues to create a shortfall in county revenue from Real Estate Excise Tax (REET). REET historically paid for debt service. Without this 2011 "prepayment," the shortfall would have come out of 2012 General Fund revenues, and would have required a quarter million dollars of additional programmatic cuts in 2012 to offset that expenditure.* In past years, REET revenue also paid for repairs and major maintenance to the county's buildings, but is not presently able to do so. $75,000 of 2011's extra revenue is being transferred to the Capital Improvement Fund to partially fund future capital repairs and construction. $169,000 of 2011's extra revenue will remain in the General Fund to fund a deputy sheriff and a deputy prosecutor in 2012 for one year after expiration of grant funding, as previously noted. And finally, $100,000 of the extra revenue would be reserved in the General Fund to help backfill a downturn of the same volatile funding sources that is • likely to occur in a future year, thereby helping to keep the General Fund more stable and predictable. In future years, the General Fund will continue to make transfers to the Capital Improvement Fund to help pay for annual debt service, and help fund capital repair and construction for county facilities. Table 4 also shows that unless additional on-going revenues can be found, more permanent reductions or efficiencies in services funded by the General Fund will be needed in 2013, 2014 and 2015 to balance inflating costs for existing services against constrained revenues. $300,000 of new permanent reductions will be necessary in 2013, $275,000 more in 2014, and another $250,000 of permanent reductions in 2015. Despite these additional rounds of annual permanent program cuts and efficiencies, we plan for the General Fund to draw down its remaining unencumbered fund balance (funds in excess of its 10% minimum reserve). By 2014, the unreserved cash and investments in the General Fund will effectively be zero. Unreserved fund balance in the General Fund is expected to start rebuilding in 2015 and 2016 and would be available to help cushion the next economic downturn. * If not for the 2011 extra revenue which will fund $250,000 of the General Fund 2012 debt obligation, plus $646,000 of new revenue from the special purpose sales tax approved • by the voters last year, the County would need to make $900,000 of additional service cuts in 2012 —this is in addition to the $300,000 of cuts already included in this budget. 5 Significant changes in the 2012 budget as compared to the 2011 budget are summarized • below. GENERAL FUND SIGNIFICANT BUDGET CHANGES EXPENDITURES — GENERAL FUND: General Fund Budget Description Change Assessor 267,184 Replacement of Assessor's software, funded by a grant.

REVENUES — GENERAL FUND General Fund Budget Description Change Property Tax- (219,500) 2011 was the last year of a 2-year Property Tax Levy Shift Levy Shift from Road Fund to General Fund. • Sales Tax 274,000 • Special purpose sales tax approved by voters in 2010 provided funding for 7 months of 2011, and will provide 12 months of revenue in 2012. The total expected special purpose tax for 2012 is 646,000, an increase of 274,000 over the previous partial year's receipts. 38,000 • 2012 County Sales tax of $1,954,000 shows a small increase over budgeted 2011 sales tax Assessor 267,000 Grant Revenue for replacement of Assessor's software OTHER FUNDS SIGNIFICANT BUDGET CHANGES EXPENDITURES — OTHER FUNDS OTHER FUNDS Budget Description Change Parks E.

Road Fund (396,500) Net reduction in Road revenues even after $219,500 increase in Road revenues from end of temporary levy shift, because of $616,000 reduction in funding from federal Secure Rural Schools. Compliance Opinion & Basis for Budget Preparation The 2012 Recommended Budget complies with all statutory and constitutional requirements, and substantially complies with adopted county ordinances and resolutions, including: • Resolution No. 32-11, setting Goals and Objectives for the 2012 County Budget, and Jefferson County's Strategic Plan; • Resolutionadopting No. 32-10, directing that Proposition 1 funds be used to retain or provide certain listed programs and projects or similar programs and projects within available funding - see Attachment 4, titled "Special Purpose Sales Tax/Public Safety Sales Tax: 2011 and 2012;" and • Resolution No. 38-10, setting how sales tax revenues shall be budgeted, and setting aside sales tax exceeding the budgeted amount for use for future revenue downturns, capital facilities projects, one-time operating costs and reduction of property taxes. • Each fund meets the minimum required reserve, established by a separate Resolution that will be adopted along with the Final 2012 budget Other Notes • The 2012 level of"diversion" of Road Fund property tax to the General Fund is $720,000, the same dollar figure as 2011. It is equal to or less than the amount of money budgeted to be expended for traffic law enforcement by the Sheriff in 2012. • Revenue: This 2012 Recommended Budget includes: • the allowable 1% property tax revenue increase for the Road Fund • the allowable 1% property tax revenue increase for the General Fund, but • discontinues a temporary levy shift from the Road Fund • the allowable 1°/0 property tax revenue increase for the Conservation Futures Fund 7 • the base sales tax of 1% • • the 0.1% sales tax for Criminal Justice to the General Fund • the 0.3% special purpose sales tax to the General Fund approved by the voters in November, 2010. • the 0.1% sales tax for Mental Health/Chemical Dependency • the 0.1% sales tax for JeffCom 911 • Under the Recommended 2012 Budget, Law & Justice is 57% of all General Fund expenditures in 2012. Excluding the Assessor's one-time software purchase, Law & Justice is 58% of all General Fund expenditures. • Debt: The outstanding debt for 2012 includes new bonds issued in 2011: $1.2 million for JeffCom emergency communications capital projects (in two bond issues) and $2.2 million to finance final design/property acquisition for the Port Hadlock/Tri-Area Wastewater System. In addition, $2 million of existing county bonds were "refunded" (meaning "refinanced") to take advantage of lower interest rates saving the county money in years 2012-2018. Among the current bonds, the shortest-term debt retires in 2012 and the longest term debt retires in 2030. At year end 2012, the County expects to have the following principal outstanding on the debt: General Obligation Bonds $7,138,000 Contractual Borrowing $1,710,023 Existing Debt: Principal Outstanding 12/31/12 $8,848,023 The graph in Table 5 below shows the county's schedule of annual debt service payments • (for principal plus interest) which will decline over time. The graph shows all county debt, and also highlights that portion currently anticipated to be funded by Real Estate Excise Tax and/or the General Fund.

In addition, $2 Billion of state budget cuts are yet to be implemented in 2012, followed by significant federal deficit reductions anticipated to be seen in the last quarter of 2012 and in 2013. These future state and federal budget reductions will be felt by our citizens and will significantly affect contracts, grants and transfers from state and federal agencies to Jefferson County government. The County will watch carefully and adapt. Specific issues we know Jefferson County government will address in 2012 and beyond include: • Funding our Capital Needs. The county's Construction and Renovation Fund (Fund 301) pays for repairs, preventative maintenance, remodeling, replacement, improvements and construction of county facilities. It previously was funded by excess Real Estate Excise Tax revenue available after first paying the County's annual debt service, but no excess REET has been available for several years. Fund 301 has instead relied on a diminishing fund balance. The General Fund is now beginning to transfer funds to Fund 301, partially replacing REET. A major task in 2012 will be to update our capital facility plans for major maintenance, and develop a multi-year capital budget and financing for this purpose. On another capital front, Information Technology (IS) holds a key to future efficiency and productivity gains in county government, especially with the construction in 2012 and 2013 of Broadband through a federal grant. Information Services will be working with all county departments in the coming year to develop and refine an IS Strategic Plan and finance strategy for IT, GIS and telecommunications to take advantage of this promise and better serve our customers. • A Weak Real Estate/Development Market. The ongoing recession in the development and real estate sectors continues to depress permit fees to Community Development, Environmental Health and Public Works. A market inventory of properties subject to short sale and repossession/resale is likely to constrain property values, and weaken the demand for new construction for several more years. Associated sales tax from construction materials and Real Estate Excise Tax from property sales will continue to be depressed by the sluggish market. Moreover sales by quasi-federal agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac of repossessed properties are not subject to Real Estate Excise Tax, further reducing county REET revenue. • Parks & Recreation. The County will continue working to meet the challenge to fund our Recreation programs and maintain our Parks facilities. Under an Interlocal Agreement between the city and the county, an Exploratory Regional Parks and Recreation Committee was convened in 2011 and is investigating more efficient ways for government, schools and non-profit organizations to collaborate to deliver parks and recreation services. We look forward to their recommendations, scheduled for release in mid 2012. 9 • Responding to State and Federal Budget Cuts. Upcoming state and federal cuts are • likely to especially affect Jefferson County Public Health, Environmental Health, and passthroughs by the County to a variety of community services. In addition, Community Development and Public Health will need to plan for the expiration of federal grants that are scheduled to end in 2013 and 2014. • County Roads. Reductions in revenue from the federal Secure Rural Schools, and its potential expiration after 2012, is requiring County Roads to scale back its operations and reduce its annual construction program including capital maintenance. Continued erosion of its property tax base against inflation in cost exacerbates this problem. • Solid Waste. The recession has also reduced solid waste tonnage for disposal through county drop boxes and the transfer station. Because tipping fee revenue to fund Solid Waste operations is down, we will be reviewing our options over the coming year to further reduce operating costs and/or otherwise fund this critical community service. • Port Hadlock Wastewater Project. Work on the Port Hadlock Wastewater Treatment System continues to progress. This project will "turn on" the promise of the new Urban Growth Area, by allowing property owners there to take advantage of urban zoning, allow existing businesses limited by septic systems to expand, reduce development and housing costs, and enhance property values. As 2011 concludes, property acquisition for the treatment and infiltration facility, and the 30% design of the facility itself, are both nearly complete. County bonds, a $1 Million federal grant, and a guarantee by the State for a $10 Million Public Works Trust Loan will fund 100% design and a portion of 410 construction costs. A critical next step will be to engage the Port Hadlock/Tri-Area community about the timing and alternatives for completing funding and construction of this important project. By 2015 Jefferson County must find efficiencies or reduce its General Fund services by a total of$825,000 beyond reductions previously made. Services in other funds face similar challenges. The funding gap is caused by the slow recovery of the economy and revenues, plus the continued erosion of the buying power of the County's property tax base against cost inflation. Elected officials, department directors, and staff will be called upon to work together to design what county government should look like in 2015 and beyond. We will be considering the types and levels of services Jefferson County can provide. • 10 CONCLUSION • The Recommended 2012 Budget is a fiscally responsible budget that responds to today's economic realities. Still, significant challenges lay ahead in responding to upcoming state and federal budget actions which will add to the inherent challenge in the present economy to provide public services and maintain facilities within severely constrained revenues. Developing the 2012 Recommended Budget has been a collaborative process, and this collaboration is a major strength in our ability to successfully meet the challenges ahead. The cooperation of the independently elected officials, appointed department directors and County staff has been essential to this. Each year, many individuals in every branch and department of our organization work hard to prepare the Budget. Special recognition and my personal thanks go to Anne Sears, County Auditor Donna Eldridge, County Treasurer Judi Morris, County Assessor Jack Westerman Ill, Lorna Delaney (prior to her retirement), Aimee Campbell, Beth Hill, Leslie Locke, Raina Randall and Julie Shannon.

Thanks so much. • (Clinic) I started coming here when I was 18 because it was safe and comfortable. I continued to come through my 20's when I didn't have insurance, and now, at 41, I still come even with full coverage insurance, because the entire staff is wonderful. • • Jefferson County Board of Health Netiv Business & Informational-Items .agenda Item # 1; 3 'Washington State Budget: • SpeciaCSession Tlpdate December 15, 2011 • 1F89 • STATE OF WASHINGTON HEALTH CARE AUTHORITY 626 8th Avenue, SE •P.O. Box 45502 •Olympia, Washington 98504-5502 November 21, 2011 TO: Health Care Authority Stakeholders FROM: Doug Porter, Director,Health Care Authority SUBJECT: The Governor's Supplemental Budget Proposals Governor Gregoire has released her budget proposal today. It is a clear message,and a disheartening one. The cuts fall heavily on the most vulnerable residents of Washington State. While there are no real surprises in today's announcement,the proposed cuts to Health Care Authority programs are basically those we offered up earlier this fall, but we feel the pain each time we put them forward. Anyone reading the list will have no doubt that these are difficult • cuts and they will affect real people, but as always, one caution: The Governor's budget is just the starting line with many legislative discussions of these proposals yet to occur. It may be months before we know the final picture. As announced today, a low-income senior with unhealthy teeth in Spokane would receive emergency extraction in the future,but not a healthy mouth. Some small rural hospitals around the state may have to cut some of their services in order to make ends meet. Basic Health subscribers who have counted on this insurance plan for decades would have to look for an alternative and most of the working poor would have very few choices, if any. Our services also would be impacted by administrative cuts in the Governor's budget- 9.0 FTEs in FY12, and 24.0 FTEs in FY13. It is important for our stakeholders—providers, advocates,clients,and health care businesses— to realize that these cuts come on top of more than $1.5 billion in cuts our programs have already endured over the past two biennia. I can also testify to how difficult this list is personally for the Governor and her staff. She is honoring the law that requires her to present a balanced budget, but she also knows that cuts like these dismantle much of the good work done in the early part of her administration. It may get even more difficult in the future. We are at the point where further Health Care Authority will face new hurdles including Medicaid's optional and mandatory coverage rules. HCA Stakeholders The Governor's Supplemental Budget Proposals November 21,2011 • Page 2 • Two-thirds of our clients are children and Medicaid cannot cut their benefits under federal law. • The Basic Health plan,Medical Care Services(Disability Lifeline/ADATSA), and the Children's Health Program are all heavily funded by state dollars. Almost all the remaining Medicaid coverage cannot be trimmed without violating federal rules. • Hospitals—including the vulnerable, rural Critical Access Hospitals—will lose more funding in these cuts. We are told some may go out of business. The real agony of decisions like this will be the stuff and substance of the special legislative session that begins on Monday,November 28. I can promise that the Health Care Authority will be on hand through the session to offer our help with the process. Our job is to provide good information and counsel—how our programs work,what the impact of these cuts and changes will be,and what—if anything—may be an alternative. We don't envy legislators their task,but I know they will appreciate the efforts we make to assist them. I know you appreciate them too. This staff has consistently pulled together in the pursuit of excellence through these past three years of budget cuts and austerity. These have not been easy choices for our stakeholders,I know. I thank you for your help, counsel,and support in our different roles.

By Craig Welch, Seattle Times environment reporter The oystermen sneaked out in the dead of night when the weather was so unruly no one would see. Then they'd dig up shellfish by the tens of thousands, from anywhere they could find them. That's how prosecutors say a massive oyster- and clam-poaching ring made off with more than $700,000 in seafood from closed tidelands and private beaches on Hood Canal, and then sold it to businesses in Seattle and beyond. The King County Prosecutor's Office on Tuesday charged the owner of Quilcene Bay-based G&R Quality Seafoods and 11 employees with illegally harvesting and selling shellfish from Jefferson and Kitsap counties waters between 2008 and 2010. The owner, Rodney Allen Clark, faces 17 charges, including accusations that he sold shellfish from areas not certified as safe by the Department of Health, and that he regularly doctored paperwork to cover up where the seafood originated. Hood Canal shellfish companies often lease dozens of sections of tideland from the state, but prosecutors allege that when G&R couldn't get enough oysters and clams from their own beaches, they turned to private holdings, other leases or even state parks. "These shellfish are a state resource owned by state taxpayers and private individuals, and when someone takes them outside the law that is theft," King County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Patrick Hinds said. Mike Cenci, deputy law-enforcement chief for the Department of Fish and Wildlife, said the true extent of the poaching operation remains unclear. Detectives allege G&R had improperly taken at least hundreds of thousands of shellfish, but the $700,000 figure only applies to shellfish sold in King County. There also were "at least 50 or 60 transactions in Snohomish County and other markets that weren't charged," Cenci said, "so it's safe to say that this probably involves tens of thousands of dollars more." Clark's workers each face one count, which could land them a year in jail. Clark faces up to seven years in prison. Craig Welch: 206-464-2093 or cwelch(a�seattletimes.corn.
