JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator
FROM: Stuart Whitford,Environmental Public Health Director
Tami Pokorny,Natural Resources Program Coordinator
DATE: September 17,2018
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION re: Amending Resolution No. 36-18 to
Rename the Spruce Canyon to South Fork Hoh River Planning
Project Application to the Hoh River Master Plan Phase I
Project.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Consider approval of a Resolution re: Amending Resolution No. 36-18 to Rename the Spruce Canyon to
South Fork Hoh River Planning Project Application to the Hoh River Master Plan Phase I Project.
ANALYSIS:
On August 6, 2018,the commissioners signed Resolution No.#36-18 authorizing the Jefferson County
Board of Commissioners to legally bind Jefferson County with respect to three applications for grant
assistance to the Recreation and Conservation Office.
The listed Hoh River project(RCO#18-2005)originally focused on a specific segment of the Middle
Hoh River. However, during the draft application review process,Environmental Public Health was
encouraged by potential project partners to expand the project scope to include the entire Middle Hoh as
Phase I of a collaborative planning effort to consider chronic problems in the watershed.In order to be
considered for Washington Coast Restoration and Resiliency Initiative(WCRRI)funding,the authorizing
resolution must reflect the application's new name.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs to pass a resolution to amend Resolution#36-18 to update the Hoh River project name are
negligible.

Dear Recreation and Conservation Office,
On August 6, 2018,the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners passed RESOLUTION NO.
36-18, legally binding Jefferson County with respect to future actions on three projects for which
we seek grant funding assistance managed through the Recreation and Conservation Office
(RCO): RCO# 18-1227 Lower Big Quilcene Floodplain Acquisitions 2018, RCO# 18-1228
Dosewallips R Powerlines Acquisition and Design, and RCO# 18-2005 Spruce Canyon to South
Fork Hoh River Planning. A copy of RESOLUTION NO. 36-18, as required to remain eligible
to apply for RCO grant funding, is attached to this letter. We initially had concerns about the
broad language in the Resolution, as it applied to the waiver of sovereign immunity by Tribes,
but upon review of the Sample Agreement language on the RCO website, we are pleased to note
that Section 45 of that document better articulates the limited purpose and scope of the waiver.
We respectfully request that any future grant agreements between Jefferson County and the
RCO, and future versions of the Applicant Resolution/Authorization, include the same limited
waiver language as presently contained in the Sample Agreement.
The funding provided through the RCO has been, and continues to be, an indispensable source
for worthwhile projects which feature valuable collaborations. Like the RCO,Jefferson County
takes seriously the interests and priorities expressed by Tribes, and we appreciate and encourage
ongoing efforts to tailor the RCO's Applicant Resolution and contract language to best meet the
needs of all parties.
Sincerely,
/4.:„.",..„,/./4,_ ,
