DATE:
SUBJECT: Agenda Item — Resolution: Amending Resolution No. 47-18 to Add a Parcel
Number and Correct the Match Ratio for the Chimacum Forest (Short's Forest)
Project— $0
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Jefferson County Public Health requests approval of a Resolution Amending Resolution No. 47-18 to Add a
Parcel Number and Correct the Match Ratio for the Chimacum Forest (Short's Forest) Project— $0
ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS/PRO'S and CON'S:
A no-cost amendment to Resolution No. 47 — 18 for the Chimacum Forest (Short's Forest) is requested to
add an improvements-only parcel number associated with the existing house (APN No. 901262005) and to
correct the match ratio calculation. The match was presented as 99% of the total project cost, but should
actually have listed as 93%. The conservation futures award does not change.
At meeting of the Conservation Futures Citizen Oversight Committee on November 13, 2018, an absolute
majority of members voted to approve these changes.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
The explicit purpose of the Conservation Futures Program is to fund acquisition projects to support a system
of public open spaces. There is no impact to the General Fund for either of the requested changes. The
Conservation Futures allocation to the project remains $140,000. Jefferson Land Trust is the project sponsor
and is responsible for providing the matching contribution.
RECOMMENDATION:
JCPH Management recommends BOCC signature of Resolution: Amending Resolution No. 47-18 to Add a
Parcel Number and Correct the Match Ratio for the Chimacum Forest (Short's Forest) Project— $0
