Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. To my County Commissioners: I'd like to relate a story to you regarding riding my bike on the Larry Scott Trail...and a request. I was peddling along and reached the "hill" by the Cape George Trailhead and parking lot. I went down it at a controlled speed. At the bottom there is a curve to the left which is somewhat hidden until you're on it. To my surprise there was A LOT of horse poop there. My bike slid, I went flying and it was not a good thing. I could not believe that horse people would not pick up after their animals. I limped back home with scrapes and a bent bike that was pretty stinky. I would like to make sure that our equestrian friends are as responsible as dog owners and check the trail. This accident could have resulted in broken bones. The cell service is not great out there and I really wondered how to contact emergency help if I needed it. No animal poop on any mixed use trails, please.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Placing the homeless in close proximity to the new DSHS building is an excellent idea, assisting the staff to understand the issues of their clients in an integrated way. May I suggest. In the same deal, acquiring the three adjacent one acre lots [001094036, 001094035,001094034] under the same ownership as the 14.4 acre property [001094006] described in the Leader. It appears that all utilities are already provided to these three lots. They could be utilized for low income apartment style housing as well as training, employment services and such on the lot closest to Sims Way,to keep the city happy. That would allow for tiny houses, camping and other individual housing units to be scattered under the trees in the larger lot for those in permanent need of low income housing. [I have disabled sons who each receive social security disability income of$804 per month so I am aware of the needs of the permanently disabled.] The lot just behind the DSHS building, which is plumbed for water, sewer and power could be quickly set up for a temporary RV park to take care of the immediate need of finding a place for the folks at the fairgrounds to move to. I once lived on a houseboat on the Columbia between Portland and Vancouver. The sewer lines for the houseboats were strung together with flexible rubber hoses under water. In the same way similar hoses could be strung together in shallow ditches for a temporary fix until permanent housing or RV park is provided. May I also suggest that, before you purchase the property,that the city examine and certify that there are no wetlands or other impediments to building or otherwise fully utilize the property. As an example of questionable City of PT planning is the acreage off of Rainier Street between Discovery and the City Water plant,which is zoned for multiple unit housing and plumbed and wired for utilities, but is practically unusable for that purpose because of wetland restrictions. Other alternative temporary placement of the fairgrounds tenants include the Elk campground in Glenn Cove, the empty city block on Sheridan between the castle and Sims Way currently zoned for medical [these folk could be considered in need of mental health services], Habitat for Humanity now owns a lot of property adjacent to the gully behind their store between Thomas street and Eddy Street [next to autoworks] that might work temporarily. I also spoke to Mike Anderson about the 5 acres he owns on Old Hadlock Road behind the foodbank. He offered it twice before with no response, but new county leadership might want to take a second look at that offer.

This came as a surprise to me, as I spoke with Police Officers on the scene who stated the Transit Authority wasn't pushing for suspension, just wanted the kids of the property, which we immediately did. The officers quoted a number of RCW's concerning Transit Authority, and acknowledged the yard manager should not have put his hands on my daughter. I was content with not pressing further ahead with the assault on my daughter, as I thought the issue was resolved. To be clear I am using the WA State definition of Simple Assault which includes intentionally touching another person in an offensive way, and my daughter was clearly traumatized by this man laying hands on her. Her friend stated the bus driver in question raised a fist and lunged at him, also a form of assault in WA State law. This is what prompted my daughter to call the police about the driver. While on the phone with 911 she advised the operator she was standing in front of the empty bus till Police arrived as the driver was trying to leave the scene. I do not have the luxury of viewing your surveillance video as Jefferson Transit has so far failed to timely respond to my request for a copy. Neither can I ascertain whether it shows the whole incident from start to finish and what camera angles are covered. In a nutshell I understand the incident started with a bus driver yelling at my daughter and her friend to get off their boards. I understand he continued yelling after they had gotten off their boards, which helped escalate the situation. For the record, both children are special needs kids and have a difficult time with harassment by adult males. Please review the signage you have at your facility. Sidewalk painted signs stating skate boarding isn't allowed are for the most part unreadable as they are so faded. The most readable sign in the vicinity they were skating states no bicycling or skate boarding beyond this point. In fact the place they were skating was within and not beyond that point. While I understand both my daughter and her friend were in violation of an RCW, and were extremely upset, much more than would be expected of a nuero-typical child, I believe the Transit Authority is hiding behind the RCW's to cover two employees who made inappropriate choices, and I would be very surprised if their actions as stated didn't violate Jefferson Transit Authority rules and policies as well. I believe this suspension is completely unfair and inappropriate based on the actions of all involved.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Good afternoon though fewer questions this week,they are thoughtful. Of continued interest is exactly when we will be able to ditch our masks when indoors, as well as what metrics will be used to determine our level of community immunity. This is the last time I will be in charge of submitting these questions from the KPTZ listeners for the Public Health updates as I will be traveling south to visit my first grandson for an extended visit. We will probably be just in time for his first few steps. Our station manager, Kate Ingram, will take over this task starting next Friday. Lastly, I am proud and impressed with the partnership between government entities and community organizations that provided consistent,timely and comforting guidance during this pandemic. Even in this difficult year,this is as good as it gets. Thank you again, Kathleen Keenan, Member KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions and related topics KPTZ would like to have presented on the air to Dr. Tom Locke, Public Health Officer, Jefferson County and Willie Bence, Director of Emergency Management (DEM), Jefferson County, as time permits. Questions for the May 24th, 2021, Board of County Commissioners Meeting Dr. Tom Locke, Public Health Officer, Jefferson County: 1. Of the 'breakthrough' infections, here in Jefferson County, have there been any similarities, such as age, immunosuppression status, comorbidities, or vaccine brand when comparing these individuals? 2. I heard there was a Covid-19 vaccine registry in Washington State so if you don't have your card you can look it up online to prove you have been vaccinated. What is the website for that? Covid-19 Testing: 1. Is there any plan for antibody surveillance testing to gauge or correlate infection rates toward a herd immunity target?Are infection rates alone adequate considering the reality of widespread asymptomatic and mild cases of Covid-19? Public Health StrategiesNaccines: 1 1. Regarding masking for the time being, what measures are you following to determine when we all can stop using our masks when we are indoors in a public setting? 2. How many weeks after having received the Johnson&Johnson vaccine can one consider oneself"safe" from the blood clotting potential? 3. Does the Johnson&Johnson vaccine provide protection from the variants? 4. When our school district has a possible classroom exposure, the child is tested 5-7 days later, and if negative, still has a mandatory 14 day quarantine. Some districts in other states test after 72 hours and if negative, the child can return to school. Why the difference, even when we have the same protocols with masking, distancing, no circulation in the school, etc. Board of County Commissioners: (none submitted) Willie Bence, Director, DEM/EOC, Jefferson County: (none submitted) 1. We just heard about the mobile clinics for those who find it difficult to leave their homes due to disabilities. How do we sign up for this service? 2 V) 0 d E A Vf vl W fa CV Q ti Y >- T as t 4-.

These wine grabs may be sold out by the time you read this, so get a move on if you want one. Or two. There are also limited edition hoodies (and shirts, of course). They come in both purple and black but we're showing you the purple one here because it really stands out against this back-ground.

Get your sale items at: One More Thing: Donations Match When does $1 = $2? When you make a donation during this auction, that's when. A very generous, 1 $2 anonymous donor has offered to match up to $ S40,000 when you make a "raise the paddle' donation to Center Valley Animal Rescue during 1 44.11: this auction. Simple math tells us this: When you make a donation of, say, $100, it really equals $200. If we raise $40,000 in donations during the auction, it will really equal $80,000. $80,000! a 5 So... if you don't win any of the auction items you bid on, but you still want to donate to CVAR, do it during this auction — and double your donation. Sounds pretty reasonable, right? You can make a donation this way at: Auction Ends Tonight at 11 pm That's right: the Auction Ends tonight at 11 pm. Be sure to get in your final bids by then. It might help to bid ahead of time with an "auto bid," which will raise automatically (only up to your own pre-set maximum) every time someone else bids on that item. Or, just keep an eye on things and ', ' • be ready to hit that whenever you see your item's current bid go up. We'd hate to see you miss out on that coveted painting, those killer Mariners seats, one of those horse saddles or that cute little felted replica of our own Tatonka the Bison! Finally...

"The abhorrent violence that is a constant in the lives of Indigenous peoples impacts Indigenous women first," says Co-producer Jaida Grey Eagle (Oglala Lakota).

Over 56% of the county is fully vaccinated, giving Jefferson County the highest vaccination rate in the state. As the community continues to vaccinate against COVID-19, the need for Jefferson Healthcare to host mass vaccination clinics with a drive thru clinic model is coming to an end. We administered our last 1st dose through the drive thru clinic on Wednesday May 19th, and our last 2nd dose through the drive thru will take place on Wednesday, June 9tn Beginning Monday, May 24, anyone can walk into the Jefferson Healthcare Express Clinic without an appointment to receive the single dose vaccine, Johnson & Johnson. Additionally, effective Thursday, May 27, patients with a Jefferson Healthcare Primary Care provider can receive the COVID-19 vaccine immediately following a regularly scheduled Primary Care appointment at any of the three Port Townsend Primary Care offices. Patients of Port Ludlow Primary Care and South County Clinic will also be able to receive the vaccine in the coming weeks. Primary care patients will have the choice of the mRNA (Pfizer/Moderns) or viral vector (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine. Both opportunities are an extension of our commitment to vaccinate our community. Options that offer added convenience, like walk-in and pop-up clinics in various locations throughout the community, will bring us closer to herd immunity. Jefferson County Department of Emergency Management, Jefferson County Public Health, and the area pharmacies continue to offer vaccination opportunities to further accommodate the community. Clinic locations are: Jefferson Healthcare Port Ludlow Clinic 89 Breaker Lane Port Ludlow Sheridan Primary Care 915 Sheridan St. Port Townsend 2 Watership Primary Care 1010 Sheridan St. Port Townsend Townsend Primary Care 934 Sheridan St. Port Townsend Resources: ieffersonhealthcare.org/covid-19/ jeffersoncountypublichealth.org/1429/covid-19 Wash Hands Maintain Distance Wear a Mask Visit the Village Council Web Site 0 Your Village Council is a 501(c)(3)non-profit corporation whose purpose is to be a unifying force and information conduit for the benefit of all Port Ludlow residents.

'' / y b v 1 '. r tr 1 The City of Port Townsend in cooperation with PT Main Street implemented a pilot program to try out streateries and help restaurants during COVID. Streateries are outdoor dining spaces typically located in parking spaces in front of an eating establishment. The pilot program allows the use of 2 parking stalls per establishment (3 parking stalls when tents are used) to be converted into table space. Prior to COVID, streateries were being allowed throughout many cities to encourage downtown vibrancy. PT Main Street and the City has heard concerns over parking impacts. Presently, four streateries exist in downtown and one is in uptown. There are also 10 "To-Go Pick Up" spots reserved for restaurants. A total of 19 parking stalls have been impacted in downtown and 2 in uptown. In addition, 6-7 stalls have been converted to a plaza at the Adams Street— Street end next to Adams Street Park consistent with downtown planning. The Adams Street Plaza will be formalized. Given the streatery program is slated to end once full occupancy for restaurants is reinstated statewide June 30th, PT Main Street and the City would like feedback on whether or not the program should be continued.

Governor Inslee and Labor and Industries released updated mask guidance: New Publication from the Governor's Office regarding masking. The most significant detail related to employers is: • Fully vaccinated employees do not have to wear a mask or socially distance at work, unless their employer or local public health agency still requires it • Before ending mask and social distance requirements, employers must confirm workers are fully vaccinated — by having the worker either sign a document attesting to their status or provide proof of vaccination. • Employers must be able to demonstrate they have verified vaccination status for workers who are not masked or physically distanced. Verifications methods may include: - • Creating a log of workers who have verified they've been vaccinated and the date of verification; • Checking vaccination status each day as workers enter a jobsite; • Marking a worker's badge or credential to show that they are vaccinated; or— • Other methods demonstrating an employer has verified worker vaccination status may also meet the standard. • When verifying an employee's vaccine status, acceptable documentation includes a CDC vaccination card, a photo of the card, documentation from a health care provider, a signed attestation from the worker, or documentation from the state immunization information system Additionally, Governor Inslee Updated Guidance for Customers: 3 The proclamation clarifies that business owners may adopt an "honor system" and may assume that any customer who is not wearing a face covering has been fully vaccinated. It further clarifies that business owners and local authorities have the option to require that customers wear a face covering, and that local authorities may not prohibit business owners from requiring that their customers wear a face covering.

For more information on eligibility, use of proceeds, and loan terms, visit the SBA website. Details on EIDL Clallam County remains a HUBZone through Dec 31, 2021: The SBA issued a direct final rule extending the HUBZone map freeze from December 31, 2021, to June 30, 2023. The direct final rule (available here) takes effect on June 21, 2021. This is the latest in a series of developments for the HUBZone Program in 2021. Background: Several years ago, SBA froze the HUBZone maps until December 31, 2021, to ensure that firms would have enough time to plan after seeing how the results of the 2020 Census would impact the HUBZone maps. However, due to the pandemic, the 2020 Census results are behind schedule and SBA does not expect to have the data it needs until December 2022. Therefore, to ensure HUBZone firms have enough time to plan around the new HUBZone maps based on the 2020 Census data, SBA's direct final rule will keep the HUBZone maps "on ice" until June 30, 2023. Pushing back the anticipated "thaw" for another 1.5 years will give SBA time to incorporate the 2020 Census data into the 5 HUBZone maps and then provide adequate notice to the HUBZone small business community. SBA's direct final rule is a welcome change for many HUBZone firms that were facing the loss of their HUBZone status at the end of this year. It is also possible that, once the HUBZone maps are updated to reflect the 2020 Census data, some areas that are currently in redesignated status could come back into the HUBZone program by the time the HUBZone maps unfreeze after June 30, 2023.

The attached press release will be sent out later this morning. With ridership increasing, but WSF still experiencing crewing and vessel constraints, we're encouraging the public to check sailing schedules and to be prepared for waits at some terminals. The release details routes with currently down-sized service, the temporary swap of Bremerton/Bainbridge slip at Seattle, busy travel times, and the federal mask mandate for public transportation still being in place. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, John John B. Vezina Government Relations Director Washington State Ferries He/Him/His i Washington State Department of Transportation — NEWS Ferries Division—2901 Third Ave., Suite 500—Seattle, WA 98121-3024—206-515-3400 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 26, 2021 Contact: Dana Warr, communications, 206-719-6819 WSF media hotline, 206-402-8070 Check ferry schedules, plan for long waits for Memorial Day weekend travel Several routes operating with modified service different from years past SEATTLE—If a Washington State Ferries ride is part of your holiday weekend travel plans, double check sailing schedules and prepare for the possibility of long waits if driving a vehicle on board. Most routes will operate on timetables different from Memorial Day weekends prior to COVID- 19 for multiple reasons: One of WSF's largest ferries, Wenatchee, is unavailable due to a fire and subsequent investigation and repair, continued coronavirus-related crewing challenges for quarantines and vaccinations, as well as a few ongoing service reductions in place since the start of the pandemic. Route information • Seattle/Bainbridge Island: One smaller vessel. • Seattle/Bremerton: One smaller and slower vessel requiring cancellation of a midday roundtrip and some adjusted departure times. • Mukilteo/Clinton: One smaller vessel. • Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth: Two-boat schedule instead of three using one smaller vessel. • Anacortes/San Juan Islands: Schedule like previous late June through late September timetables, without a fifth vessel for international service to Canada. • Port Townsend/Coupeville: One-boat service instead of two. Changes at Seattle's Colman Dock For people boarding a ferry in Seattle,the vehicle holding lanes and turnstiles for Bainbridge Island and Bremerton departures swapped places recently to accommodate the smaller vessel on the Seattle/Bremerton route. The Seattle/Bainbridge Island run is temporarily operating out of slip 3 at Colman Dock with Bremerton out of slip 1. Transportation Security Administration face mask requirement A face covering is required on all vessels and in terminals in compliance with the TSA's face mask requirement. People in a vehicle are strongly encouraged to remain in their vehicle. If they must exit,they are required to put on a face covering. To maintain physical distance standards, WSF will enforce reduced occupancy in terminals and on sailings for walk-on passengers. Holiday schedules On Memorial Day, May 31, there will be a few schedule adjustments on most routes. Holiday sailings are marked on the timetables for each route. Busy travel times Lengthy wait times are possible for people who must drive a vehicle onto a vessel over the long holiday weekend. The busiest sailings will likely be in the westbound direction Thursday and May 27-28,then eastbound Sunday and Monday, May 30-31. To reduce or eliminate waiting, riders may consider taking an early morning or late evening sailing. Before boarding, customers are encouraged to sign up for ferry email alerts, check terminal conditions and review WSF's COVID-19 travel updates. The Anacortes/San Juan Islands and Port Townsend/Coupeville routes also offer vehicle reservations. People using state highways to get to the ferry terminal should plan ahead for potential backups and delays with real-time traffic information on the WSDOT traffic app for mobile devices. WSF, a division of the Washington State Department of Transportation, is the largest ferry system in the U.S. and safely and efficiently carries nearly tens of millions of people a year through some of the most majestic scenery in the world. The system will be celebrating its 70th anniversary Tuesday, June 1. For breaking news and the latest information, follow WSF on Twitter and Facebook.

I did everything I know about Zoom technology on my side to get un-muted. No joy. What I wanted to say was a few words of thanks about Phillip Morley. As a close observer of the County and of the time frame of Phillip's tenure, he put his whole heart and soul into the mission of making county government work for our citizens. Jefferson Countyhas land minds revolvingaround land use and environmental issues and e economic and social issues that are frustratingly complex and very time consuming. I think Phil deserves high marks for advising how best to steer the right course. But over time, an administrator, and elected officials, lose their political friendly chips and there is a time to move on. I am very grateful he was here when he was and could administer with a set of Commissioners who were of the same party. I hope the next person has many of Phillip's good qualities, skills and experience. I value this Commissions ability to find that person and continue to our journey toward a modern, efficient, and effective county government. I am looking forward to sitting in my usual spot in the Commission chamber and un-muted.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. 111 Washington State Department of Transportation — NEWS Olympic Region— PO Box 47440—Olympia, WA 98504-7440—360-357-2600 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 26, 2021 Contact: Tina Werner, communications, 360-704-3270 Crews to reopen portions of SR 112 as construction continues in Clallam County SEIKU—After five months, Olympic Peninsula travelers west of Port Angeles will regain access to almost 6 miles of State Route 112. Beginning at 9 a.m. on Friday, May 28, contractor crews for the Washington State Department of Transportation will reopen a portion of the highway to two-way travel between mileposts 39 and 33.4. The shortened closure points will be between mileposts 31 and 33.4. Portions of the highway will reopen with a temporary gravel surface. "Reducing the closure from 8 miles to 2 is a big accomplishment and shows the determination of our crews," said Project Engineer Dan McKernan. Working six days a week, Scarsella Bros, Inc. will focus their efforts on reopening the rest of the roadway around Jim Creek West, near milepost 32. Three landslides have been corrected and three more remain. i Travelers will continue to follow a signed detour using US 101 and SR 113. The repair work is one month ahead of schedule and crews expect to fully reopen by late-June. Background On Dec. 21, 2020, high temperatures, heavy rains, snow and seasonal tides forced maintenance crews to close 8 miles of SR 112. When crews inspected the roadway before reopening, they found roadway settlement in three separate locations. As rains continued to fall in the weeks that followed, three additional trouble spots were identified. Some portions of the roadway dropped nearly 13 feet. Before heading out the door, travelers can find the latest road conditions on the WSDOT app and by following the WSDOT regional Twitter feed.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. To the DNR: I am writing in support of the Dabob Bay Inter-Trust Land Exchange. I support DNR's proposed protection of state forestlands (State Forest parcels A-H) within the Dabob Bay Natural Area boundaries, and hope you will move forward in protecting these areas. (If there are more CS parcels than needed, I also request that School Trust parcels CS 6,7, 11, 12, and 13 on the Toandos Peninsula not be exchanged, since these also involve globally rare forest types.) Protection of these forests supports water quality (including our local water supplies), shellfish, wildlife habitat, rare forest types, and the overall integrity and beauty of our local world. Swapping these parcels also makes sense from a practical perspective, due to watershed complications and unstable slopes. There is broad support in Jefferson county for this land exchange- by local landowners, Tribes, shellfish growers, environmentalists, and our county commissioners. I am a fulltime resident and landowner in this area, and I support this effort. Thank you for your attention to our region. Sincerely, Sheila Lopez (Dabob Bay area resident, landowner, and voter) 1 jeffbocc From: Christine Mahler <info@wildliferecreation.org> Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2021 7:59 AM To: jeffbocc Subject: May E-News: Let's Recreate!

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Esteemed Board of Commissioners, I was up in Clallam county recently and happened across a talk radio program with one of Clallam County's commissioners. The last topic they spoke about was Clallam counties intention to hire a Forester to oversee any and all logging operations in Clallam county. I thought given the lack of oversight that DNR has been providing in our county, it was a brilliant solution to an ever worsening problem. It occurred to me that Jefferson county, and possibly Mason county, might benefit from this type of oversight as well and thought it might be worth you all reaching out to Clallam to see if they would be interested in a joint venture. I'm not sure if it would be a full time job for just Clallam County, perhaps it would. But if not, pooling our resources to get consistent oversight for best forestry practices might be a win for the entire peninsula. Our board met last night and requested that I reach out to you in hopes that you can investigate this idea for feasibility as we believe that the DNR is not providing anything close to the oversight that is needed in our region and beyond. Raelene Rossart JCWD#1 360-316-1435 PS—we would love to further discuss a community septic in our neighborhood. Please let me know whom we should contact for potentially re-energizing this project. 1 jeffbocc From: Tom Locke Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2021 11:41 AM To: lori Morris;jeffbocc; Kate Dean; Greg Brotherton; Heidi Eisenhour Subject: Re: Rhody Festival Parade Ms. Morris, While we can't know with certainty the level of COVID-19 activity in WA State in August, it is likely to be much lower than it is now. Governor Inslee is planning to end most statewide COVID-related restrictions by June 30. This will presumably include gathering size restrictions and public events. There are no specific approvals required by the local health officer unless the event involves regulated activities like temporary food service events. The indoor masking mandate that is currently in effect does not cover outdoor activities and will likely be ended in late June, if not earlier. The only restriction I can imagine being in effect for August would be an advisory about masking and distancing for unvaccinated individuals. This will likely be voluntary and not involve any responsibilities for event organizers. I recommend you proceed with your planning efforts and focus as much as possible on outdoor events. While it is unlikely that indoor events will be restricted in August, they still will pose an increased risk to those who are unvaccinated or have medical conditions that impair the effectiveness of the vaccines.

See the most frequently asked questions below, and click here to ask your question. Q Can counties place their funds in interest bearing accounts? A Recipients can place funds into interest bearing accounts. Interest generated from funds can be used beyond the eligible uses outlined in the American Rescue Plan's Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. The Treasury Department will be releasing a FAQ document with greater detail on how funds can be utilized regarding interest bearing accounts. Q Can counties use the funds for vaccine incentive programs? A Yes. Under the Interim Final Rule, recipients may use Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency, including expenses related to COVID-19 vaccination programs. Programs that provide incentives reasonably expected to increase the number of people who choose to get vaccinated, or that motivate people to get vaccinated sooner than they otherwise would have, are an allowable use of funds so long as such costs are reasonably proportional to the expected public health benefit. Q Is there a deadline for counties to request Fiscal Recovery Funds? A There is not deadline for counties to certify for Fiscal Recovery Funds. However, counties must submit a request to receive funding even if they have previously applied for other programs through the?Treasury Submission Portal. Counties will receive further communications regarding the status of their submission via the email address provided in the Treasury Submission Portal.

On the Land with the Rhododendron Riders: Adventures in the Quimper Wildlife Corridor This past winter, as the pandemic restricted travel and kept kids home from school, many in our community sought refuge and connection in the natural spaces nearest to our own neighborhoods. If you went walking on the trail system (Cappy's Trails) that winds through the Quimper Wildlife Corridor on a Monday in February, you might have run across a group of local kids who could identify every tree in the forest. "It's smooth and it has some bumps," observed Abraham, age seven, running his palm over the trunk before correctly identifying it as a red alder. "This is a Western redcedar," said Louisa, also seven, looking at a tree a few feet away. "The bark is kind of strippy. The leaves have a scaly snake texture. And the branches always curve down and then up." Meanwhile, Agnes, age nine, examined a cone she'd found on the ground beneath a towering evergreen. "This pinecone looks like it has little snake-tails or tongues," she said. "Only the Douglas fir has that." She grasped a low-hanging branch and continued, "The needles grow all the way around the twig. The bark has big cracks in it."

With his small sawmill, he's partnering with the Land Trust to make custom lumber packages of Valley View Forest wood available locally. This week, Jefferson Land Trust began a selective timber harvest and tree thinning at Valley View Forest, a Land Trust-protected working forest in Chimacum. Valley View Forest is a pilot of community forestry: that is, a forest that's managed for the "triple bottom line" of providing economic, ecological, and community benefits as identified by the local community. Many of the harvested trees, carefully selected and marked for logging with the help of Land Trust volunteers, will hopefully never leave Jefferson County, thanks to local miller Cody Wayland of Wayland Constructive, who is taking orders now for locally sourced lumber. "Buying wood from a forest managed with the mission and foresight of a nonprofit like Jefferson Land Trust makes sense," Cody says. "It's on a much smaller scale and, without the clear- cutting, excessive and repetitive long-distance trucking, and use of plastic wrap, has less of an impact and a much smaller carbon footprint."

Scroll down to read the answers In this time of increased homelessness,what pitfalls could we experience if we towed a motorhome from the city's right-of-way and the person claims that it is their residence? Under recent Washington case law,there are potential issues with respect to impoundment of vehicles used for habitation. In June 2020,the Washington Court of Appeals ruled that a vehicle owner who uses their vehicle for habitation has homestead rights in that vehicle(see chapter 6.13 RCW). Impoundment of such a vehicle for violation of parking regulations is not, by itself, prohibited. However,the threat of forced sale of the vehicle(which is typically what happens with unclaimed, impounded vehicles)is a violation of the vehicle owner's homestead rights. State law provides that real or personal property used as a residence"is exempt from attachment and from execution or forced sale for the debts of the owner up to the amount specified in RCW 6.13.030." MRSC published a blog article about the case which contains more analysis and information.The appellate decision was appealed to the Washington Supreme Court who heard oral arguments in the case in March, but it is unclear when an opinion will be issued. What if nobody runs for an open elected office? The candidate filing period for 2021 was May 17 through May 21. If no one filed for the elected office during that time,there is a void in candidacy pursuant to RCW 29A.24.141, and there would be a special filing period pursuant to RCW 29A.24.181,which provides in part: • If a void in candidacy occurs following the regular filing period and deadline to withdraw, but prior to the day of the primary,filings for that office shall be reopened for a period of three normal business days, such three-day period to be fixed by the filing officer.The filing officer shall provide notice of the special filing period to newspapers, radio,and television in the county, and online. If no one files for election after the filing periods are over, there is a"lapse" in the election and no election is held.The officeholder whose term is ending remains in office("holds over") until the next election at which the position is voted on. See RCW 29A.24.201: • If after both the normal filing period and special three-day filing period as provided by RCW 29A.24.171 and 29A.24.181 have passed, no candidate has filed for any single city,town, lapsed,the office election for such position shall be deemed riposition to be filled,the or district n deemed stricken from the ballot and no write-in votes counted. In such instance, the incumbent 2 occupying such position shall remain in office and continue to serve until a successor is elected at the next election when such positions are voted upon. If the incumbent who"holds over"no longer wants to serve, he or she can resign at which point the Council would make an appointment to fill the vacancy pursuant to RCW 42.12.070 (assuming it's a nonpartisan position that is vacated). See these blog posts for more detailed information about filling vacancies: 1. Filling a Vacancy in City or Town Councils 2. Vacancies in Elected Office—Questions and Answers(Part 1) 3. Vacancies in Elected Office—Questions and Answers(Part 2) Can a town appoint a temporary councilmember(or councilmember pro tern)if a sitting councilmember has a prolonged absence due to illness? We are not aware of a provision in chapter 35.27 RCW(which governs towns)that authorizes the town council to appoint a councilmember pro tempore to serve during an extended absence of a councilmember.There is a provision addressing vacancies, RCW 35.27.140,which provides that the council"may declare a council position vacant if that councilmember is absent from the town for three consecutive council meetings without the permission of the council."We understand in many circumstances this is not a desirable option. RCW 35.27.280 addresses the town council's authority to make pro tempore appointments, but that provision doesn't include reference to the council appointing a councilmember pro tempore. Given this, and the fact there are provisions for other city classifications that allow councils to appoint a councilmember pro tempore(see, e.g., RCW 35A.12.065 for code cities),we interpret the absence of such a provision in chapter 35.27 RCW to mean that a town council doesn't have such authority. Depending on circumstances, a councilmember who would otherwise be physically absent could participate in the council meetings remotely. See this blog article as well as these resources for conducting virtual meetings: 1. Tips for Governing Bodies Meeting Remotely 2. Engaging in a Pixelated Public Square which discusses technology for public meetings during COVID-19 restrictions. Of course,we defer to your town legal counsel if they have a contrary interpretation of the statutes. Is the city clerk responsible for posting upcoming filing positions for open elected offices? No, under state law that appears to be the responsibility of the county auditor. RCW 29A.24.010 says that: • Not less than thirty days before the first day for filing declarations of candidacy under RCW 29A.24.050 for legislative,judicial,county, city,town, or district office,where more than one position with the same name, district number,or title will be voted upon at the succeeding election,the filing officer shall designate the positions to be filled by number. "Filing office" is defined in RCW 29A.04.067 as"the county or state officer with whom declarations of candidacy for an office are required to be filed under this title." In your case,the county auditor. 3 jeffbocc From: Washington State Department of Transportation <wsdot@service.govdelivery.com> Sent: Friday, May 28, 2021 2:58 PM To: jeffbocc Subject: WSDOT Travel Advisory: Next phase of US 101 Morse Creek construction brings daytime lane closures CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Dear Jefferson County Commissioners, We live in Uptown and have a 10 year old daughter.We are very concerned that the recent multiyear trend of soaring property values and associated property taxes are reducing affordable housing in Port Townsend, sacrificing the qualities that make our town special. This trend impacts the ability of working families to buy or rent homes, increases commutes, reduces accessibility for families with children, and local workers, displaces long term and poorer residents, and threatens diversity, among other negative impacts. It favors a trend towards an aging second home population with relative means, rather than an economically, racially, culturally and age-integrated community. We are financially comfortable so not at risk of losing our place. But we are aware of these issues, and repeatedly hear firsthand accounts of increasing hardship and displacement. We are concerned that Port Townsend and indeed other parts of Jefferson County are gentrifying to the point that core community values are eroding including those that convinced us this was an exceptional place to raise our child. This is a national trend and we should learn from these other examples of how communities have fundamentally changed to be less inclusive and more exclusive. I urge you to be bold and find real, effective solutions. For example, our property tax structure should be reformed to be more progressive and equitable, so that tax burdens are reduced for those of limited means, and increased for those that can afford it.We need to integrate low income housing into established, desirable neighborhoods, at effective levels that make a difference, rather than isolating and concentrating such housing, which has been a historic failed housing strategy nationally. We need to create incentives for working families to live and work in Port Townsend, and so on. Please grab the moment before Port Townsend and other parts of Jefferson County, like so many other locales in recent years, becomes unaffordable for many, and loses the special qualities that many here cherish.

Supported by Local 20/2o,a local group photo-documenting King Tides noticed water levels could be appreciably different from the predicted tide elevations and the level measured at the local tide gauge.With the guidance of Dr Miller,the team was able to measure water levels at a selected site and collect concurrent weather data in an effort to quantify and explain these differences.This type of documentation is rare in Puget Sound and may lead to improvements in coastal flood mapping and prediction.

Just yesterday and for the first time I heard apoem written 5o years ago by Gary Snyder.Its message is just as prescient now and even more pertinent to the situation humanity is in today.Discovering such a gem as this is bittersweet.Certainly it lifts the spirit but one can't help but wonder"what if'humanity had not squandered the past five decades and had turned away from its headlong rush towards extinction.As we face an anthropogenic collapse of our ecosystem and reconsider our place in nature,we hear words from half a century earlier, "Revolutionary consciousness is to be found among the most ruthlessly exploited classes:animals,trees,water,air,grasses." Snyder outlines our position,situation,goals and practical actions in four areas.i)Population: the population in 197o was 9 less than half what it is today,and suggests the carrying capacity was half or less of that.2)Pollution:atmospheric CO2 was 325 ppm in 197o and is 414 now.3) Consumption,and 4)Transformation.

May 26,2021,8am PDT I Donald Shoup I VCrponaldShoup (f Share) (y Twee) C V h a , ' ipoliA �� i e I 14 i € € 111 ((I p, k., 4kclips/Shutterstock Minimum parking requirements are almost an established religion in city planning.One should never criticize anyone else's religion,of course,but,I'm a protestant when it comes to parking requirements.Planning for parking needs a reformation. Minimum parking requirements work like this:for every conceivable development,the local zoning code specifies exactly how many off-street parking spaces must be provided,regardless of how much parking any resident or business owner may want. In 2005,the American Planning Association published The High Cost of Free Parking,an 800-page book in which I argued that minimum parking requirements increase the cost of housing,subsidize cars,create traffic,and pollute the air.Parking requirements also degrade urban design,encourage sprawl,reduce walkability,and accelerate climate change.Parking requirements are poisoning our cities with too much parking and too many cars. A new bill being considered in the California Assembly could undo a lot of the damage done by parking requirements.AB 1401 would prohibit cities from requiring off-street parking for any building within a half-mile walking distance from public transit. https://www.planetizen.com/features/113459-perils-central-planning-parking 6/1/2021 The Perils of Central Planning for Parking -Features Planetizen Page 2 of 3 Planning for parking is an ad-hoc talent learned on the job and is more a political activity than a professional skill.Despite a lack of theory and data,planners have managed to set parking requirements for hundreds of land uses in thousands of cities—the Ten Thousand Commandments for off-street parking. For all their scientific pretense,parking requirements are essentially arbitrary.How could they be anything else?City planners don't know the number of parking spaces needed for every aerobics studio,art gallery,bowling alley,donut shop,gas station, movie theater,pet store,nail salon,or any other of hundreds of land uses. For example,San Bruno,CA,requires four parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area in an adult massage parlor.This requirement means that the parking lot must be at least 30%larger than the massage parlor itself.How do planners know that? Everybody pays for all this free parking because the required spaces raise the prices for everything else.One study found that garage parking raises the rent of apartments by about 17%,even for residents who cannot afford to own a car. Or consider how parking requirements increase the price of food.If zoning requires every grocery store to sit in a sprawling surface lot,everyone pays more for groceries even if they don't drive to the store. The federal and state governments give cities billions of dollars every year to build and operate mass transit systems. Nevertheless,most cities require off-street parking for every building on the assumption that nearly everyone will drive everywhere they go.Parking requirements work against all the transit investments. For example,Los Angeles is building a subway under Wilshire Boulevard,which already boasts the city's most frequent bus service.On parts of Wilshire Boulevard,however,the city requires at least 2.5 parking spaces for every dwelling unit,even for the smallest apartments.Constructing the parking increases the cost of the apartments,and the residents will have less interest in riding the future subway. Twenty public transit lines serve the UCLA campus in Westwood,with 119 buses per hour arriving during the morning peak. Nevertheless,next to campus,Los Angeles requires 3.5 parking spaces for every apartment that contains more than four rooms. Parking requirements are a barrier to new housing and a subsidy for cars.As a result,California has expensive housing and free parking.In practice,the dream of abundant free parking has turned into a nightmare of traffic congestion and air pollution.A city where everyone happily pays for everyone else's free parking is a fool's paradise. Parking requirements show that cities seem willing to pay any price and bear any burden to assure the survival of free parking.But do people really want free parking more than affordable housing,clean air,walkable neighborhoods,and a sustainable planet? Removing parking requirements is not the same as removing parking.After Buffalo removed all its off-street parking requirements in 2017,47 percent of developments provided fewer parking spaces than were previously required.Still,almost all developments provided some parking,and some provided even more than were previously required.Removing the parking requirements allowed developers to right-size the parking supply depending on the individual circumstances at each site. Americans love their cars,but the affair was an arranged marriage,with city planners as matchmakers and members of the wedding party.Unfortunately,no one provided a good prenuptial agreement.City planners can now become marriage counselors or divorce lawyers. Like the automobile itself,parking is a good servant but a bad master.Cities will work and look much better when markets rather than politicians govern the parking supply.Removing off-street parking requirements—as AB 1401 proposes to do in those places where they do most harm—is the easiest,simplest,and fastest way for cities to provide more affordable housing,more walkable neighborhoods,and a more just society.

The most significant detail related to employers is: • Fully vaccinated employees do not have to wear a mask or socially distance at work, unless their employer or local public health agency still requires it • Before ending mask and social distance requirements, employers must confirm workers are fully vaccinated — by having the worker either sign a document attesting to their status or provide proof of vaccination. • Employers must be able to demonstrate they have verified vaccination status for workers who are not masked or physically distanced. Verifications methods may include: - • Creating a log of workers who have verified they've been vaccinated and the date of verification; • Checking vaccination status each day as workers enter a jobsite; • Marking a worker's badge or credential to show that they are vaccinated; or— • Other methods demonstrating an employer has verified worker vaccination status may also meet the standard. • When verifying an employee's vaccine status, acceptable documentation includes a CDC vaccination card, a photo of the card, documentation from a health care provider, a signed attestation from the worker, or documentation from the state immunization information system Additionally, Governor Inslee Updated Guidance for Customers: The proclamation clarifies that business owners may adopt an "honor system" and may assume that any customer who is not wearing a face covering has been fully vaccinated. It further clarifies that business owners and local authorities have the option to require that customers wear a face covering, and that local authorities may not prohibit business owners from requiring that their customers wear a face covering.

For more information on eligibility, use of proceeds, and loan terms, visit the SBA website. Details on EIDL Clallam County remains a HUBZone through Dec 31, 2021: The SBA issued a direct final rule extending the HUBZone map freeze from December 31, 2021, to June 30, 2023. The direct final rule (available here) takes effect on June 21, 2021. This is the latest in a series of developments for the HUBZone Program in 2021. Background: Several years ago, SBA froze the HUBZone maps until December 31, 2021, to ensure that firms would have enough time to plan after seeing how the results of the 2020 Census would impact the HUBZone maps. However, due to the pandemic, the 2020 Census results are behind schedule and SBA does not expect to have the data it needs until December 2022. Therefore, to ensure HUBZone firms have enough time to plan around the new HUBZone maps based on the 2020 Census data, SBA's direct final rule will keep the HUBZone maps "on ice" until June 30, 2023. Pushing back the anticipated "thaw" for another 1.5 years will give SBA time to incorporate the 2020 Census data into the 5 HUBZone maps and then provide adequate notice to the HUBZone small business community. SBA's direct final rule is a welcome change for many HUBZone firms that were facing the loss of their HUBZone status at the end of this year. It is also possible that, once the HUBZone maps are updated to reflect the 2020 Census data, some areas that are currently in redesignated status could come back into the HUBZone program by the time the HUBZone maps unfreeze after June 30, 2023.

Spearheading the Oiyrnpic Discovery Trail since 1988 �- O LY M P I C PENINSULA P.O.Box 1836 , Port Angeles,WA 98362 • •tscdfe/ TRAILS infoc@olympicdiscoverytrail.org TRAIL COALITIQN OlympicDiscoveryTrail.org , TO: Olympic Discovery Trail Supporters Ref: Port Angeles Waterfront Trail (WFT) Last week, the PA City Council surprisingly, and with little discussion and no supporting analysis, proposed the addition of an unfunded budget line item (Item PK 0121 in the General Government projects portion of the CFP)to evaluate the possibility of an "upland" re-routing of the ODT that would "abandon" or "decommission"the Waterfront Trail. Though that item, if retained in the final Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) and Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), would theoretically still require funding to proceed, PTC feels that the simple presence of the budget item, unfunded or not, sends a completely harmful signal that is entirely inconsistent with the community's interests and with the City's obligation to properly rehabilitate and maintain the existing WFT. The overall subject is extremely multi-faceted and does not lend itself to a long discussion here. But with the two scheduled public hearings on the proposed CFP/TIP coming this evening (June 1) and on June 15, we wanted to notify you right away in hopes that you can take a few moments TODAY to send a quick comment to the council and/or to link into the actual hearing tonight at—6:30 p. Whether by written comment or by brief testimony (2-3 minute limit) at tonight's public meeting, we hope your message can be the simple, three- part message, in your own words, that: • You want to make sure that the City does not consider, in any way, the abandonment or decommissioning or downsizing of the Waterfront Trail, and i • You want to urge that the City finally devote the funding and resources needed to restore the Waterfront Trail to the railroad bed integrity it had when the City took ownership and that the entire WFT be fully and routinely maintained, and • You want to see the WFT's principal usage as a transportation corridor reflected by having the trail become the responsibility of the City's public works department, rather than its current placement in the parks and recreation department. To send your comments via email: 1. go to City of Port Angeles 2. from top menu line, select Government, and then, select City Council 3. on the City Council home page, look in the right-side Contact Us column and then select "Email the City Council" 4. this will automatically open a blank message in your email program to provide your own words To participate in tonight's public hearing June 1st @—6:00pm): Go to PA Live Meeting see Agenda 0 - 2 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Tuesday, June 1, 2021 3:37 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW:Join us tomorrow on ZOOM to talk 4th of July!

Pushing back the anticipated "thaw" for 6 another 1.5 years will give SBA time to incorporate the 2020 Census data into the HUBZone maps and then provide adequate notice to the HUBZone small business community. SBA's direct final rule is a welcome change for many HUBZone firms that were facing the loss of their HUBZone status at the end of this year. It is also possible that, once the HUBZone maps are updated to reflect the 2020 Census data, some areas that are currently in redesignated status could come back into the HUBZone program by the time the HUBZone maps unfreeze after June 30, 2023.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. I listened to a great interview of Commissioner Brotherton on KPTZ this weekend and thought that i would chime in . This homeless pandemic is probably going to increase not decrease, I have it upon very reliable authority that some of the Olympic Peninsula's crisis has been created by other jurisdictions that have been "exporting "the poor to us from Seattle area when their shelters have been full .This same social worker source confided to me that if Jefferson County were to build a large facility it would act as a magnet and other agencies would send folks here for services . PLease consider options for Fort Worden,This place is designed for crowds,there are ample cooking facilities, camping areas and covered roof areas to accommodate all of the homeless that we could want.Training jobs could be made available at the facility and the beauty is that the facility is already built and desperately in need of a new vision . I believe that the current condition is largely created by an unfair economic system,where it is tolerated to allow people to fall the cracks when hard times come .Of course Jeff Co can not change the way that the United States chooses to run an economy.Lack of health insurance,the high cost of housing,the abysmal minimum wage to name a few difficulties . But we can revise zoning hurdles, and keep an open mind because this crisis is going to continue and only get worse . All the Best, Bert Bergman 1.55o Umatilla Ave .

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Hello, The March 31, 2021 edition of WSDOT's quarterly performance report (the Gray Notebook) is now available online only to support physical distancing and reduce the spread of COVID-19. While numerous performance measures are reported throughout the Gray Notebook, highlights from this issue include: • Highway travel has steadily increased as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted and was up to 8% below pre- pandemic levels on May 3, 2021, a one percentage point increase over March 1, 2021. Highway travel hit its pandemic low on March 29, 2020 when it showed a 63% decrease over the corresponding day in 2019. • WSDOT responded to 10,968 incidents during the first quarter of 2021, 2,200 (16.7%) fewer than during the same quarter in 2020. • Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Amtrak Cascades ridership dropped 79% to 172,000 passengers in 2020 compared to 2019 while ticket revenue decreased 80% from $33.2 million in 2019 to $6.5 million in 2020. • WSDOT began monitoring six new wetland and stream mitigation sites on 14.39 acres in 2020, and completed monitoring work at seven mitigation sites on 10.11 acres that were at the end of their 10- year monitoring periods. • WSDOT's Commercial Vehicle Information Systems & Networks program helped the trucking industry avoid 204,000 travel hours and $24.7 million in operating costs in 2020. • Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Washington State Ferries ridership was approximately 3.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, which was 943,000 (23.1%) less than in the corresponding quarter in FY2020. • WSDOT advertised 38 of 81 Pre-existing Funds projects during the seventh quarter of the 2019-2021 biennium.

June comes with a welcome announcement that we will re-start in-person outdoor programs this month, as well as expand our Museum hours to include Thursdays. Thank you to our amazing volunteers who are stepping up and are back in action this month to help us broaden our work beyond the virtual realm. We hope to see you at Alpenfire Cider for First Friday this week, and be sure to stop by the museum to see Peggy Smith-Venturi's Unwrapped, then build boxes with Programs staff in honor of her work on Saturday. Details below. Also at the museum, Karen Lene Rudd's Port Townsend Paper garments installation has been extended through June, and is not to be missed. June through August we'll feature a new poster exhibition about the incarceration of Japanese American people during WWII, part of a rotating series of 2 SITES posters this year. We are reading We Hereby Refuse in our staff and board equity book group this June and July, and we encourage you to check it out as well. It is our mission to bring people together to share, learn, and be inspired by Jefferson County arts and heritage. We do this with passionate, inquisitive people, and this month we welcome our newest Trustee Mary Coney to the Board. Mary has participated as a volunteer and member at JCHS through the years, and we can't wait to bring her even closer to the fold. We are also hiring this month, after the retirement of long-time Collections Manager Becky Schurmann. Know someone who loves people as much as research and collections? Send them our way! Lastly, we appreciate your passion and support for this work in ensuring we can continue to thrive by donating to our Spring Appeal. Keep an eye on your mailbox!

(Cydney McFarland/Peninsula Daily News) HAPPY RETIREMENT BECKY SCHURMANN! In the early 2000's the City of Port Townsend and JCHS were fundraising to restore old City Hall, home to the museum. In practical terms this meant that virtually every artifact in the museum had to be inventoried, wrapped, boxed and made ready for a massive move. I found myself overwhelmed and in need of help with this huge undertaking. I was thrilled when Becky Schurmann applied for the job, the only applicant with museum experience. She was amazing help with the move and retrofitting temporary storage areas at Fort Warden State Park. When I left the museum's employ, Becky became Collections Manager and Exhibit Designer. 4 Becky freshened up old displays and began exhibiting historic costumes at the Rothschild House Museum. The old courtroom, now the Ferguson Family Gallery, became the setting for new and changing exhibits of art and history which Becky planned and designed for many years. She has done incredible work with the JCHS collection inventories, adding hundreds, perhaps thousands, of artifact and photographic records to the database. In 2012 Becky oversaw the move of collections from the Fort into the new collections building. And most recently she has been instrumental in the rehabilitation phase of the building envelope, planning for the movement and security of thousands of artifacts throughout construction. We are so lucky to have had the benefit of Becky's skills, planning, perseverance and dedication over seventeen years of working for the mission of JCHS. Thank you for everything. - Laura Reutter, JCHS Trustee Join JCIISibr IR.L Programs this month! YES!

We will host a gathering to celebrate & share Erika's work at the house in August, and will be able to provide public access to the house at that event.

Volunteers jumped into action this spring when it was discovered that the front facing wall of the Swansonville Church bell tower had completely rotted and was no longer attached to the structure. All windows and parts of the interior stairs were removed and saved to make new templates for future restoration. New temporary wood walls, beams, and floor joists were added to hold up the main bell tower. A new I-beam was installed underneath and the bell tower was jacked back to level and anchored into the main building. In order to prepare for the entire structure to be raised for a new foundation, the structure needed immediate stabilization as it was most likely ready to collapse within the next year.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Hello potential grant applicants and other interested parties! The Recreation and Conservation Office is accepting grant applications for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program. This program, administered by the National Park Service, provides grants to acquire and/or develop land for public outdoor recreation purposes located within or serving jurisdictions having populations of 50,000 or more (2010 Census). The Census Bureau has published a list of urban areas and maps delineating each urbanized area, which can be found at: https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-maps/2010/geo/2010- census-urban-areas.html. Projects should also improve physical access and recreational services, address a neighborhood/community recreational deficiency, and improve recreation service to economically-disadvantaged neighborhoods or communities. If you have an eligible project, and are interested in applying, please see the What's New document on our LWCF webpage for additional program details and eligibility criteria. The Applicant To-Do List outlines the deliverables and deadlines. Applications are due in PRISM Online by July 21, 2021. RCO staff and the LWCF advisory committee will review and provide feedback on the proposals. RCO's director will approve the proposals to be sent to the National Park Service for national competition. Once the National Park Service regional office accepts an application, it is sent to federal project reviewers. Projects will be ranked according to the reviewers scores, and a list provided to the director of the National Park Service, who makes the final funding decision. Please contact an RCO grants manager if you have a potentially eligible project, or if you have any questions. Thanks!
