Hi, In looking at the current Comprehensive Plan for Jefferson County I note that the word "performance" occurs 13 times. Two of the uses occurs on page 1-79 where there is the following: "Since GMA's inception,the State of Washington Growth Management Hearings Board (Hearings Board) has interpreted the GMA and its rules to local jurisdictions' comprehensive plans. Over the years, a body of law has developed, which appears to force counties to curtail innovation in rural area development, such as prescriptively establishing rural and urban densities and requiring tightlined LOBs in LAMIRDs. This imposes a difficult challenge when trying to meet affordable housing needs outside of designated urban growth areas. Some LAMIRDs, such as Chimacum, do not fit neatly within this urban rural dichotomy. This provides only two boxes, urban or rural for solutions to complex land use issues. Solutions may require more in-between areas to meet requirements, such as a greater focus on performance standards for some housing developments over a prescriptive residential density. Innovations to meet current housing crises is limited by GMA. If a county allows bonus densities in a rural cluster the resulting density after applying the bonus must be a rural density, which doesn't yield enough bonus density to enable the types of housing developments that can meet the challenges of providing density for affordable housing, even within a rural context. Jefferson County proposes to investigate provisions for planned residential developments and investigate the feasibility of alternative performance standards that could potentially increase rural residential density above the current maximum rural density. Jefferson County is aware that these options require a legislative amendment to the GMA." In addition on page 3-14 is the following: "Explore alternative, GMA compliant, development and performance standards that define bonus residential densities by measuring the reduced levels of resource use and reduced adverse ecological impacts relative to those associated with conventional development. This would be similar to the Planned Rural Residential Development standards, but would provide potential density bonuses to projects with smaller acreages." I see no reason why Jefferson County can not utilize these sections to justify a new section in the Unified Development Code to introduce performance based zoning for housing. This zoning could be apply to urban areas for sure and may also be allowed in a Residential LAMIRD. No residential LAMIRD has as yet been designated in Jefferson County. 1 This could give the BOCC the flexibility to develop more areas of housing then are currently allowed in the rigid prescriptive land use codes. You have already introduced performance standards rather than prescriptive standards in the Agricultural section of the Critical Areas Ordinance. Sincerely, Craig Durgan 2 jeffbocc From: Ailey Birkeland <ailey.birkeland@icloud.com> Sent: Wednesday,June 2, 2021 9:49 PM To: jeffbocc Subject: Banning Facial Recognition Attachments: facial_recognition_one_pager-2019.09_-_final.pdf;ATT00001.htm CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Jefferson County Board of Commissioners, I respectfully request the introduction of legislation that would ban the use of discriminatory facial recognition software. In response to the biased nature of the software and the implicit infringement of citizens' rights caused by its use, King County just banned the use of facial recognition software with the exceptions of schools and private institutions. (https://kingcounty.gov/council/mainnews/2021/June/6-01-facial-recognition.aspx) The city of Portland, OR joined with several other municipalities nationwide to also place a ban on the technology, but taking the extra step to stipulate that it could not be used either for public or private use. (https://www.portland.gov/code/34/10) Jefferson County, WA has a long history of protecting and advocating for democratic values and the rights of its citizens to be free of discrimination and surveillance, both public and private in nature. I encourage Jefferson County to follow Portland's example, and become the first county in the nation to ban all forms of biometric surveillance. Attached is a fact sheet about facial recognition published by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Please contact myself or the Electronic Frontier Foundation with any questions. Thank you for your hard work and consideration. Respectfully, Ailey Birkeland ftt Facial Recognition Face recognition is poised to become one of the most pervasive and intrusive of all surveillance technologies. Today, law enforcement officers can use mobile devices to capture face recognition-ready photographs of people they stop on the street;surveillance cameras boast real-time face scanning and identification capabilities;and federal,state, and local law enforcement agencies have access to hundreds of millions of images of faces of law-abiding Americans This technology poses a threat to our privacy, chills protest in public places, and disparately impacts people of color. Congress should ban government use of face surveillance. How It Works Some law enforcement and other government agencies(like state DMVs and the U.S.State Department)collect photographs of people's faces for a variety of purposes.The digital images are then converted into a mathematical representation of pre-designated measurements,often called a "face template,"and uploaded into a shared database. When the government wants to identify someone in a photo collected from such places as social media, CCTV, "Smartcity"traffic cameras, or in the field,they can compare the face template from the photo with the known photos in the database(s).They use facial recognition algorithms that rely on unique physical markers on people's faces to find the closest mathematical matches. A rapidly growing number of government agencies use face surveillance.The FBI's Next Generation Identification database has 30 million face recognition records, and its Facial Analysis, Comparison and Evaluation Services can access 641 million more. CBP plans to use face recognition technology for all travelers entering and leaving the U.S.TSA's Biometric Roadmap outlines all the ways the agency seeks to"leverage"face recognition technology.Amazon is selling police an inexpensive face surveillance system called Rekognition. Manufacturers and advocates for facial recognition technologies often present these systems as a "silver bullet" for law enforcement, but they are error-prone and present serious challenges to privacy and due process.This has led to the development of unproven, inaccurate systems that will impinge on constitutional rights and disproportionately impact women, children, and people of color Key Problems Privacy: Face surveillance is becoming an all-encompassing tool for government to track where we are,what we are doing, and who we are with, regardless of whether we're suspected of a crime or not.Today, most drivers' DMV photos are shared with law enforcement agencies. Protest: Face surveillance will chill and deter people from protesting in public places. Error: Many face recognition systems have unacceptably high error rates.This means innocent people will be subjected to erroneous police scrutiny. Discrimination:The"false positive"error rates are significantly higher for women, children, and people of color. This means that face recognition has an unfair discriminatory impact. Also, cameras are over-deployed in neighborhoods with immigrants and people of color, and new spying technologies like face surveillance amplify existing disparities in the criminal justice system. Solution Congress should immediately put a moratorium on any use of face surveillance by federal agencies or with federal funds. Want more information?Please contact India McKinney at india@eff.org.

Hello, 1 I wanted to address a disturbing trend, particularly in Washington State.This is the vaccine card and being forced to show it to participate in normal activities whether it is personal or leisure. I am asking you to respectfully listen to my points and objections. First of all, this is too much like Germany in the 1930s when the Nazi regime was taking over ie: show me your papers. Never in my history, have people been forced to provide private and personal medical documentation status to go about their business. If you think this is okay, where or will you draw the line?As a citizen of Kittitas county, I am obligated by HIPPA due to my professional life,to protect people's medical and health questions for be faced with a HIPPA violation. People's medical information is on tight lockdown under strict standards and strict quality control but suddenly people have the authority to ask for your vaccine card but face major fines and if HIPPA is violated? I can't support the vaccine card and will not support it because it is an ethical and moral violation and not to mention a sensitive subject. I am urging you to consider following behind Bonney Lake to protect citizens and businesses of Kittitas county from medical card discrimination and segregation. I am including the link for your review on this matter. Enough is enough. I am asking you to raise the bar and set the standard. https://www.king5.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/vaccine/bonnet'-lake-city-council-covid-vaccine-passport- ba n/281-a 1899e8e-d 1 c4-40f2-9905-ed e44cb 1 b73 b Jana Flora Executive Leadership NSLS Honor Society, Capella University Delta Mu Delta Honor Society, Capella University 2 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Friday, June 4, 2021 10:00 AM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Friday 5 I Census I Drought I Wildfires From: Washington Counties I WSAC Sent: Friday, June 4, 2021 9:59:36 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Kate Dean Subject: Friday 5 I Census I Drought I Wildfires CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization.

Beginning Monday, June 7, travelers can expect alternating conditions with a pilot car or flaggers in the following locations: • US 101 —between mileposts 192 and 210.5 near Forks in Clallam County. • US 101 —between mileposts 285.2 and 296.7 south of Discovery Bay in Jefferson County. • US 101 —between mileposts 324.4 and 339 north of Shelton in Mason County. No work is scheduled next week along State Route 19 near Chimacum or US 101 near Lake Crescent. Crews have completed necessary repairs to those sections in advance of chip sealing i work, scheduled to begin next month. Once all pavement repairs are complete, work will go on suspension until mid-July, when chip sealing work can begin. In April, Doolittle Construction crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation kicked off this 60-mile chip seal and bridge deck repair effort along US 101 and SR 19. Traveler are encouraged to plan for delays and consider alternate routes. Other jurisdictions may have summer construction near state highways, including local utility crews which may add to traveler delays. Olympic Peninsula travelers are encouraged to sign up for email updates. Real-time traffic information is available on the WSDOT app and WSDOT regional Twitter account.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Good Afternoon to All, I am stepping in for Kathleen Keenan and sending you the accumulated questions to KPTZ from the past two weeks. I am a member of KPTZ's Virus Watch Team and the Emergency Response Team and have been involved with the vaccination clinics as a retired RN. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen, member KPTZ Virus Watch Team Only two questions were sent in to KPTZ the week before the Memorial Day holiday, and one question this week. Questions for Dr Locke: 1. My questions are about the L&I requirement for businesses to verify the vaccination status of employees in order to permit them to remove their masks at work. Is this requirement meant to be an interim measure until statewide restrictions are lifted at the end of June, or are worker regulations independent from the statewide restrictions for the public? If an employer chooses not to keep vaccination status records (which we believe to be a medical privacy issue)will our employees be required to mask up indefinitely or until a new/different threshold of state vaccination rates is achieved? 2. My husband and I live in PT and are fully vaccinated. Our grown daughter lives in Everett and is not vaccinated, because her doctor has strongly recommended against it.This is due to her compromised immune system from fighting long term Lymes disease. Is it safe for her to come and visit us, and be indoors with us without a mask and without social distancing? Questions for Willie Bence: 1. With the increase in visitors to Port Townsend, local businesses are reporting an uptick in confrontations regarding masking with some people entering their shops. What can be done? 1 2. Businesses that are 'non-public facing' are also having questions about masking in the workplace and are asking for guidance.Thank you! 2 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Friday, June 4, 2021 3:47 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Rayonier Public Access Changes Attachments: PRU_Hunting_Map_All_V4_c05262021.pdf From: Adrian Miller Sent: Friday, June 4, 2021 3:45:56 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US&Canada) To: Kate Dean; Greg Brotherton; Heidi Eisenhour Subject: Rayonier Public Access Changes CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links,especially from unknown senders. Commissioners, Next week Rayonier will be publicly announcing changes to our land access policy for the lands historically owned by Pope Resources. I wanted to provide you with an advance notice of some of the changes and hopefully preempt some of the likely questions you and your constituents may have. Nonetheless, if you have any additional questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Overall,the vast majority of Rayonier's lands will be open for some form of public access. Approximately 31,710 acres are accessible for free including many of the more popular areas(detail below). Rayonier provides an opportunity for the public to purchase a General Access Permit on approximately 140,000 acres($100 for an individual permit). There are also enhanced hunting permits available for purchase on approximately 37,852 acres($100-$400 for an individual permit) depending on the area. Rayonier also has a Recreational License Unit (RLU) program where individuals or entities can license pieces of property for their exclusive use on approximately 11,478 acres. While I have attached a map that displays where these areas are,you can get far more detailed information at www.rayonierhunting.com. Adrian Rayonier allows public access to several designated trails. Permits are not required while on the trail.

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.

Four Changes by Gary Snyder •"Four Changes"by Gary Snytler -�y'';' 5+A" 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 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. Please hear the wisdom of Gary Snyder here.

Each year, counties invest $62.8 billion to serve as a safety net for millions of residents and to deliver vital services to our nation's most vulnerable populations. In total, counties invest over $100 billion in community health and hospitals annually, including: • Over $41 billion for the provision of community and public health services (other than hospital care) such as mental health and substance abuse programs, county health department inspections, water and air quality regulation and health inspections. • More than $59 billion in operating county-owned hospital facilities, including those operated by public universities and for the provision of inpatient medical care and specialized care.

I am writing to ask you and the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners to look into this matter. Given the history of the Park and the Shelter I believe it would be a great loss to have the Shelter with all its history torn down. It is my hope that this is not his intent but if it is I request that the Board of Commissioners place a hold on any 1 plans to remove the Shelter. I believe more input from the community should be obtained prior to removing a historic structure. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. To whom it may concern; I am a resident at Cape George Colony and a small business owner on Cape George Rd. I was informed about a proposed homeless encampment near Loftus and Crutcher rd. off of Cape George Rd. I am wondering if this is near the equestrian trail that is directly across from Loftus? If so, this area in my opinion is too far from town. The encampment should be located closer to food sources and other amenities. It is also a place where many walk their horses and animals on the trail network near by. Their also isn't sufficient public transportation. If you would be so kind to send me more information regarding this matter I would greatly appreciate it.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. June 8, 2021 To the Jefferson County Commissioners and the Homeless Housing Task Force: I just learned the County Commisioners are considering placing the homeless encampment on county property on Cape George Road and I listened to the commissioners'discussion taped Monday. I am a septuagenarian who lives alone on acreage at the very end of J Popper Way. My property abuts the county parcel and the Equestrian Park site. Other retired folks are neighbors along J Popper Way and a family with young children is putting in a home across from me and which also abuts the county property.The proposed homeless encampment is an easy 5-10 minute walk on the trails through the woods. Many people with dogs.children, horses as well as runners and bicyclists come to use the network of trails through the woods that connect the residential streets of J. Popper, Loftus, Arabian Lane, Hidden Trails and Jolie Way. I listened to the commissioners'discussion June 7.There seemed to be little awareness of the people this would impact. I am appalled to think the commissioners consider this property could be a solution to the homeless predicament where mental health and substance abuse are ongoing problems.Those of us who live back here are isolated and vulnerable. Fire danger is a major concern every summer as the woods and brushy areas become very dry. Several years ago I reported a homeless camper off one of the foot trails in the Equestrian Park. His tent was well hidden in the bushes and I ran across his tent and bags of trash when I was picking berries and followed the smell of cigarette smoke.There is no water accessible to the Equestrian Property but acres of dry tinder and woods that are contiguous with residences and the transfer site. I expect you remember there was a fire on the neighboring Seton acreage two years or so back which closed off Cape George Road for hours when they brought in firefighting equipment. How would these people be supervised for law enforcement? I am aware of the problems that have been occurring at the fairgrounds as I have a good friend who lives a block away from there. To move those problems to a rural residential area puts many vulnerable people at risk. I am fearful for my safety and that of my neighbors. Sincerely, Gina McMather 374 J Popper Way, Port Townsend gmcmatherCa�gmail.com P.S.The link to visit the Affordable Housing &Homeless etc.website from the page announcing the June 9 meeting does not work. 1 RECEIVED JUN 0 7 2021 5/31/21 Jefferson County Commissioners, JEFF E 'SON COUNTY I read in the local paper that you are about to create dalatektitSSIONERS a really, really bad idea.This social need is typically provided by the local non-profits.This is part of their function,their charter, and that is why they enjoy a non-profit status,for which that non-tax money should go towards local social issues.As commissioners,you are overstepping bounds and taking on a social issue without a vote of the people that will encumber the people with the costs, and that cost will increase rapidly. It was reported in the local paper that about last January you,the commissioners, invoked a point one percent tax with funds going to the homeless.This was a really, really, bad decision to do without a vote of the people.And one of the commissioners stated, "It's just point one percent.That's not much." But it is.You take a little,the state takes more, and feds take a whole bunch, and pretty soon there is nothing left for my family. How am I suppose to support my family when the governments just keep reaching into my pockets and take whatever they want to house,feed, and cloth others that I do not care about? I use to do quite a bit of filings at the county seat. Did you know that Inslee invoked a$90 charge for every filing to support the homeless?A filing use to be about five dollars.Then Olympia added a BS five-dollar fee to that. Now it costs$105.50 for a simple filing.So, ask the county seat how many filings were made last year, multiply that number by$90 and that is the value the governor removes from Jefferson county to support his homeless vision. Please get the money back. And did you know it was reported in the local paper that the governor removed $350 million from the state road/transportation funds to support his homeless cause. A chunk of that money came from Jefferson county. Please get that money back. And it was also reported in the local newspaper that eighty percent of government funds designated for homeless causes is actually spend on administrative and overhead fees.Very little actually trickles down to the tired and poor and wretched souls yearning to be free. I suppose you have not spent much time at a homeless encampment. It's amazing. Besides the filth and bio-stench,just about everyone has a cell phone.The local paper reported that the planned campus,to be purchased at an exorbitant amount with taxpayer funds, will have about one-hundred forty-four available 'beds'. I am sure those will be filled way before opening day because the homeless have friends,the friends have cell phones,they keep in contact with each other, and all their buddies will show up for a bed too.And the Fair Grounds will remain mired with homeless. The local paper also reported that about eighty percent of homeless require mental help.You, as commissioners, are creating a de facto mental health camp along with all the nasty stuff that hitches a ride. Your encampment will require twenty-four-hour social services support and policing. It's a rarity that anyone is ever saved from encampments. Have you ever cleaned up a homeless encampment? I suppose not. It's just filled with all kinds of hazardous materials besides tons of common garbage.Taxpayers always end up footing the bill for the cleanup and I do not want to pay for it anymore. Are you familiar with the bears of Yellowstone NP?Short story. People made a mess of Yellowstone NP.The park service had a dump area within the park boundaries where camping leftovers were taken and 'discarded.'This attracted the bears and over years the majority of the bears of Yellowstone NP homed around the dump.This was not healthy for the bears. Many did not know what was natural food.A number became use to human contact and thus encounters increased for the food people kept in vehicles and tents. The park service decided,for the benefit of the bears,to remove all the garbage from the dump,which was done rather quickly, like in about one week.The bears were denied human food products. Many eventually did venture out and re-acclimate.There were increased encounters from some bears that would not or could not re-acclimate.The problem bears were captured. Some went to zoos and some were in such bad condition from an unnatural diet, heavily addicted,that they were put down.Today Yellowstone NP has a diverse and healthy bear population evenly distributed throughout the park. What am I getting at? Don't create a homeless dump. What you are about to do will only attract and maximize homeless people to travel here. What needs to done, and it may seem heartless, as with the bears, is to minimize the resources to the homeless, assign a homeless candidate to a non-profit, and make it generally unpleasant to remain in the county. If the welcome mat is removed,they will leave.The social services and non-profits could research each homeless candidate and move them along to where they should be and get the help they need. Example, if a homeless is here illegally,then ICE would be the proper call; if a homeless has family in the US,then the family should be notified to come pick up their relative; if the homeless is a veteran,then down to the VA they should go; and so on and so on.What is really needed to minimize the homeless in Jefferson county is a plan to move them along. And lastly, if you do create this encampment, have in place an exit strategy. How is the facility going to be shutdown, who gets to roam away,who gets captured, and who doesn't survive. And in the end, nothing will change,you cannot save them all. Thank you, Richard Kelbon 273 River Ridge Road Quilcene, WA 98376 /) f { r ' \} \ . C.

Not sure which one of you came to the conclusion that putting the homeless out in the woods is a good idea. There has all ready been a suicide last month at that location and now you what to hide more trouble there. This is a wild land fire interface area, along with the now devastated Larry Scott trail park, you hope to push them through, dead dry trampled under story with 5 hour fuels left everywhere for them to burn. So much for fire wise... I have over the years put out many fires out there, late at night in the park and stopped a guy with a machete from cutting down trees in the park and on our property. This will make things even worse. No water, no septic, no power. No phones You need to take responsibility for the problem and not just sprinkle pixie dust on it and hope it goes away. I would suggest you put them where you can care for them, control them, have services for the aid that will be needed and where they can be of help and or live in the trash they create. The space between the animal shelter and the recycling facility or at the composting area, now your staff can really deal with the problems as it should be. That area is fenced and next to the fire hall for all the aid calls, they can volunteer at the animal shelter, ran by the Sheriff's office so Law enforcement is close. If they want to wreak something it will be trash and or belong to all citizens of Jefferson County.Then you will be able to clean up after them with the equipment you have there. Maybe they could even earn some money working for you, sorting trash. A positive approach is much better. If that is unacceptable to you, please feel free to use the area across the street from the court house, there is no need for the tennis and basket ball courts, those are just luxuries. "Blue Tarps Matter" I look forward to your reply. Thanks Pete Peter R.

Dear Commissioners, I recently became aware of Mr. Brotherton's ill-conceived idea to put a 50-person homeless encampment on the former horse park property on Cape George.This is a awful idea.This is a rural area filled with families and retirees. It has no infrastructure—no social services, no transportation, not even any grocery stores. It is ill-equipped to house people who have no transportation and who require mental health, addiction and other services. Basically, Mr. Brotherton is suggesting putting these homeless people out into the country where few will see them.This location will not help homeless people transition out of homelessness. It will not help them get the services they need. It will only get them out the out of sight, out of mind. Additionally, the homeless population that is currently housed at the Fairgrounds has proven they are not good neighbors. Read The Leader's police/sheriff log and you'll see countless instances of fights, drug use, burglary, assaults, and other problems caused by the homeless campers. Mr. Brotherton wants to move those problems from the fairgrounds to Cape George. However, Cape George houses some of our county's most vulnerable residents. Cape George Colony/Village/Highlands is a 600-home community comprised largely of older people, many in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s. To subject these vulnerable seniors to the kinds of disruptive and illegal behavior the homeless at the fairgrounds is dangerous and unconscionable. Would you want your elderly mother or grandmother to have to deal with the problems that come with living next to a large encampment of homeless people, many who are alcohol or drug addicted or mentally ill? Please reconsider this dangerous and ill-conceived idea.The homeless deserve to be housed somewhere there is public transportation and plenty of services to help them transition out of homelessness.

June 8, 2021 To the Jefferson County Commissioners and the Homeless Housing Task Force: I just learned the County Commisioners are considering placing the homeless encampment on county property on Cape George Road and I listened to the commissioners' discussion taped Monday. I am a septuagenarian who lives alone on acreage at the very end of J Popper Way. My property abuts the county parcel and the Equestrian Park site. Other retired folks are neighbors along J Popper Way and a family with young children is putting in a home across from me and which also abuts the county property.The proposed homeless encampment is an easy 5-10 minute walk on the trails through the woods. Many people with dogs. children, horses as well as runners and bicyclists come to use the network of trails through the woods that connect the residential streets of J. Popper, Loftus, Arabian Lane, Hidden Trails and Jolie Way. I listened to the commissioners'discussion June 7. There seemed to be little awareness of the people this would impact. I am appalled to think the commissioners consider this property could be a solution to the homeless predicament where mental health and substance abuse are ongoing problems.Those of us who live back here are isolated and vulnerable. Fire danger is a major concern every summer as the woods and brushy areas become very dry. Several years ago I reported a homeless camper off one of the foot trails in the Equestrian Park.

Dear Commissioners This plan Greg Brotherton has proposed,as a emergency project to be dealt with by June 3o is totally out in left field somewhere. You serve as commissioners, but choose to make plans without the input of citizens? Question for Greg, do you live in this proposed area?what about the other Commissioners? The project that is proposed for 11.72 Cape George Rd.to become a homeless encampment in 22 days makes you look more than naive to the citizens of this county, as a citizen who lives across the street,this would endanger my property and pets from people who have nothing and are looking for something. No infrastructure,no waste management,sewers,electric,no bus service for us, let alone the homeless, no street,lights,fences,or police patrol in this area for us, let alone the homeless, a 5o mph speed limit for people walking to town??? I heard Mr. Brotherton stammer and stutter, more about how much he does not know about this project,and the effects this"Experiment" may have on this community in this area. Greg says he spoke with a equestrian spokesman about the trails and the area, he did not talk to the equestrians on my street,they have all voiced negative opinions on this foolishness. Greg also complained of the neighborhoods around the fairgrounds not happy with the camp there,out of sight,out of mind Greg?Commissioners?drug problems,thefts,crime of all types. Keep it where it is and swallow it.You made it there for a reason, it is not a rural area, close to town and all its services.

It seems that the negatives far outweigh the positives in that there are no facilities such as water, sewer, and electricity. In addition to this the site is basically remote and these people have no means of transportation to get into town, obtain groceries or get medical assistance. Police protection and assistance would be very limited since their presence has been virtually zero since I have been living here. A facility such as I understand was originally proposed by the first roundabout eliminates the above concerns. Last but not least I understand that there is a very high ratio of persons in this populace that are prone to alcohol and drug abuse. With the limited police presence how will this issue be handled? Please explain to me as a concerned resident and voter what the logic is regarding the possible selection of this site for these people. Thank you.

Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners, Our family, business, home and forestland have shared a property line with the County for many years.They are just one of our neighbors in this area of Cape George Road. Over the years we have endured a substantial clear-cut, consistent illegal dumping, shooting, wildfires, crime and trespass from the adjacent property as Jefferson County has consistently proved to be a bad neighbor. We have opposed development plans for the neighboring land while supporting its use as a managed forest property providing income to the County and a multi-use trail system enjoyed by many.The County's recent proposal to relocate a failing homeless camp to this parcel outside of town is simply another terrible decision for their land and this neighborhood.We would be surprised by this most recent proposal had it not been for the County's history of grand ideas then subsequent neglect for this "horse park" property at 1172 Cape George Road. We received a brief voicemail on our business line an hour prior to Monday's 6/7 commission meeting when District 3 commissioner Brotherton proposed this idea of moving the homeless camp from the fairgrounds into our neighborhood. Not a single neighbor in our area had received notice that this proposal was on the BOCC agenda that day. Our District 1 representative Kate Dean and District 2 Heidi Eisenhour appeared equally uninformed on the proposal during the virtual meeting. Commissioner Brotherton proposed that after having spoken at length to all the stakeholders involved that the decision to relocate the homeless camp to this particular site is the best option. Only now does this community know about the proposal. This proposed, county sponsored homeless camp off the 50mph "highway" section of Cape George Road has NONE of the following- potable water, hydrant for fire suppression, sewer, electrical infrastructure, cell/phone service, monitoring, hygiene, safety or life services to support the 50+ people planning to relocate. It is located miles from town and there is no public transportation on Cape George Road. Over the past year,the currently existing fairgrounds camp includes a myriad of vehicles, tents, derelict RV's, pets and homeless with a failing record and reputation for trespass, substance abuse, crime and overdose.The idea to simply drop these people in a small gravel pit off-road in the woods, away from town with no living resources and no social welfare access is a certain disaster for the camp and surrounding residents. If the County is looking to dump unfortunate people in a game of Survivor, wouldn't Cappy's Trails be the closer and equally ridiculous option? Our family has operated a successful business and maintained our own acres of forestland here for nearly 25 years.We have a home, raising a family here and along with our neighbors are concerned for the property, safety and security of ourselves, our neighbors and those that utilize these multi-use recreational trails. We implore the County commissioner board and task force to explore a more suitable alternative for this homeless situation. I can assure you that our family and our neighbors will not accept this terribly inadequate proposal without a fight and that is certainly not what is best for the homeless community. David &Tiffany Drewry Family; 1280 Cape George Road, Port Townsend 1 Capt. Dave Drewry Peninsula Sportsman LLC Port Townsend,Washington 2 Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners &Homeless Housing Taskforce, Our family, business, home and forestland have shared a property line with the County for many years. They are just one of our neighbors in this area of Cape George Road. Over the years we have endured a substantial clear-cut, consistent illegal dumping,shooting,wildfires,crime and trespass from the adjacent property as Jefferson County has consistently proved to be a bad neighbor. We have opposed development plans for the neighboring land while supporting its use as a managed forest property providing income to the County and a multi-use trail system enjoyed by many. The County's recent proposal to relocate a failing homeless camp to this parcel outside of town is simply another terrible decision for their land and this neighborhood. We would be surprised by this most recent proposal had it not been for the County's history of grand ideas then subsequent neglect for this "horse park" property at 1172 Cape George Road. We received a brief voicemail on our business line an hour prior to Monday's 6/7 commission meeting when District 3 commissioner Brotherton proposed this idea of moving the homeless camp from the fairgrounds into our neighborhood. Not a single neighbor in our area had received notice that this proposal was on the BOCC agenda that day. Our District 1 representative Kate Dean and District 2 Heidi Eisenhour appeared equally uninformed on the proposal during the virtual meeting.

I understand that the camp at the Fairgrounds is likely to be moved but this location appears to be ill suited for this use. Access to services in town would be a problem and I expect many of the homeless people would not want to be this far removed. It is too far out of town to expect them to walk for essential services.The problems of homeless people will not be served by sending them out of town and out of public view.

Dear Jefferson County Commissioners It was only yesterday that we heard about Brotherton's plan to move the homeless currently on the fairgrounds to the Equestrian site opposite the Loftus/Cape George corner. Our neighbor, Gina McMather, sent an email to Brotherton explaining her concerns about this. We totally agree with Gina's email. What bothers us a lot is that in Brotherton's response to Gina he talked a lot about"stakeholders" with a list of those he considers "stakeholders". There was no one from this community on his list of stakeholders. It was only yesterday, after receiving Gina's email,that he offered to add someone from this community to his"stakeholders" list. The Equestrian site is used every day by people hiking,walking their dogs, riding bikes and riding horses. Some of the users are families with small children. This site is also surrounded by forested area that could very easily go up in flames from a careless camper. There are many homes within a few minutes walk of the site. This is a rural area with friendly neighbors who up until now have not felt a need to lock their doors and do whatever they need to to protect themselves from intruders intent on doing harm. Please consider other options. The Brotherton plan is simply not acceptable to people in this community.

Hello, I am writing to express my concern about moving the homeless encampment from the fairgrounds to the new spot out on Cape George. First, I'd like to express my frustration at only finding out about it late last night from another concern citizen and PT resident. I'm concerned about it's duplicitous nature of slipping it in midday when we can't be there to voice our concerns and ask questions. I also am concerned about its remote location. Are there amenities; such as water, electricity and waste management? Public transportation to town? Food source?Shelter? Is there a budget for this or will that disappear like the Cherry Street project debacle? This does not appear to be a well thought out plan and smells of troublesome "not in my backyard" so we'll move it to a rural location , behavior. As public officials, all three of you have been elected to work on this problem in a constructive and problem solving manner.These efforts to shove this elsewhere does not meet that goal. Please consider this feedback from a concerned PT resident, and know this is not a solution.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. To the commissioners in Port Townsend, I am extremely concerned about the plans to move the homeless encampment to cape george road. 1. I do not believe it will end up being temporary. You have been having meetings since september looking for other alternatives and you have not found any. Once you move the people out of town and out of sight, there will be little incentive to find another place. 2. There are severe limitations on the proposed site - it is not in the best interests of the intended residents. There is no water, no sewer and no access to it anywhere nearby. How will people wash and clean themselves and their clothing and their eating utensils? Where will they get water to drink? How will they relieve themselves? 3. There is no transportation to health services, counseling, and other support. What if someone is hurt and needs to go to the ER? In town they can walk. 4. There are no stores to buy supplies or anything. 5. The idea of a shuttle will not work well. What if someone get's a job with hours from 3 to 7 pm?Will a twice a day shuttle allow for that? It will make getting jobs harder for the people. 6. There is severe fire danger! If people need fires to cook and stay warm, the surrounding forest is vulnerable in our rain shadow dry area. There is no water nearby to put a fire out either. I would hate to see a large forest fire on our peninsula as a result of a bad decision. 7. It will damage habitat for wildlife and birds in the area. 8. There is very limited cell service in that area so communication will be difficult. 9. Brotherton's email to people who are concerned states that the interested parties have decided this is the best solution. What other options have been offered?? It may be the best solution compared to i eviction but it is not the best solution overall. The best solution would be to find a permanent location with existing infrastructure and transportation close to services, grocery stores and work opportunities. Don't waste our tax money setting up a "temporary" area to then have to move it and set up new facilities. This is not just a NIMBY email. We live in cape george about 2 miles from the proposed encampment. I do believe people will come here looking for something because there is no place else for them to go, but there is nothing here for them - there are no stores, no health care, no job opportunities. If the proposed site had water, sewer, transportation, cell signals and was close to grocery, health care, services and jobs then I would support it. Please, please reconsider this idea!!

If you do, I expect 24 hour security and mental health support at the camp and financial compensation for the destruction of our property value. Or Move it next to your home instead. We live out in the county to be away from the problems associated with too much population density. This is absurd. You don't need to have homeless camps.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links,especially from unknown senders. Dear County Commissioners: I have an acquaintance who lives near the fairgrounds where the homeless camp currently resides. She's been so stressed out she's lost a significant amount of weight this last year. Her adrenals are sapped and her health has suffered.The stress from living near the homeless camp has been insurmountable for her. Her 15 year old daughter used to be able to walk around the neighborhood with her friends and now it's not safe.There are drug needles on the ground, homeless people can be seen masturbating in public; it's excessively loud and unsafe for children to be around. I have pity on those families living near the homeless camp. I live out in the county off Cape George Rd and as much as I don't want the homeless camp at the fairgrounds, I certainly don't want it moved down the road from where I live. I have a young child myself, my neighbors have children. We enjoy living out in the county because of the peace and quiet that comes with "living out in the county". Moving the homeless camp to a new location is a bandaid solution.Just yet another neighborhood full of families will suffer. Please try to do some brainstorming and come up with a different solution. I understand our responsibility as humans to take care of one another but moving the camp does not come without harming more people. Thank you for all of your extremely hard work!!!

To solve the homelessness situation,we need a multidisciplinary approach to the problem,rather than have people congregated on an"encampment"as the main"solution." Additionally,we now know through the discoveries in neuroscience research that over time people who are addicted suffer a diminishment in cognitive functioning due to the organic changes that take place in the brain. Behavior can become erratic and unpredictable and even remarkably violent as a result of these changes. Every murder that has happened in Jefferson County was drug and alcohol related. Addiction is a progressively fatal disease. And yet you would move the homeless to a residential neighborhood without any requirement of sobriety or treatment and without mandating those services,which condemns them to a descent into chaos. You even used the term of'self governance' which is an oxymoron when it comes to addicts and the mentally ill. You have chosen a recreational location that has no water, electric and no public transportation. You would allow access to the public trail which is a corridor lined with homes with families. Then let's talk about the neighborhood. It is full of your constituents who are contributing members of our community. We volunteer,we pay our property taxes, we help raise our grandchildren and we vote. We give to our community in so many ways. One of the primary and most basic expectations for government is protection of its citizens. In making the decision to create a homeless encampment without mandated drug and alcohol services means you have failed in protecting all of us.

I wanted to point out that the adjacent Gun Club with the active firing range could feasibility be a problem for the Homeless, who have PTSD issues.The firing range is active off and on during the day and some evenings.

I only learned about this idea on Monday afternoon, and while we gave Commissioner Brotherton the go-ahead to continue looking at the feasibility of the site, it is by NO MEANS a done deal. > I share your concerns, particularly about safety in terms of lack of water and electricity, distance from law enforcement and lack of cell service and fire hazard. I also believe that once we have campers there we are likely to have them there long-term, either because they will choose to stay without our permission or we will have invested a lot of funds to address the safety concerns and won't want to start over. I don't want to end up with another unintended encampment that is a reaction to a crisis instead of a well thought-out strategy and plan. I am unlikely to support this proposal unless these concerns can be addressed. >A little bit of background: during Covid, a number of unhoused campers at the Fairgrounds decided not to leave there when asked to by the Fair Board. As owners of the property,the County sought the opinion of the Attorney General who confirmed that the state's eviction moratorium applied to the Fairgrounds campground and so they could not be forced to leave. In response to safety concerns,the County has been paying to provide supervision, meals and other supports for the population there,and the Fair Board has had to absorb other costs. Neighbors have understandably been frustrated by the impacts of the encampment. While it has been a challenging situation,the homeless folks there have said they are feeling more stable and have built a community,which reinforces our need for an appropriate and safe place for folks to go. >When the eviction moratorium expires on June 3oth,the campers are likely to be asked or forced to leave the campground. Due to a federal court ruling,since there is not adequate shelter for the homeless here,they will be allowed to camp in any public space- roads, parks,etc. without risk of a trespass violation. Similarly,there is no law enforcement for possession of controlled substances right now due to a WA Supreme Court ruling,so there is a good i chance of dispersing camping and drug use throughout the community,where it is much harder to monitor or respond to. We very much want to have somewhere for these folks to go where they can get stable enough to seek treatment, therapy and eventually housing. >We are pursuing the feasibility of purchasing a 14-acre parcel between DSHS and Mill Road to build a "housing hub" campus-somewhere we could have campers,tiny homes and supportive services. We are awaiting an appraisal this week and will then be in a position to decide if this is the right parcel and the right investment. It is attractive in that it can access city water, power and sewer and has very few neighbors to impact. Proximity to services and a bus line are a big plus,too. We will know more next week on this project. My hope is that is comes back as affordable and that we could supply some very rudimentary services and get folks from the Fairgrounds moved there, but the certainty and timing of that are unknown at this time. > In other words,our hope is to have somewhere to send the campers from the Fairgrounds so that they don't end up in places that are more dangerous for them, more impactful to the community and more difficult for us to serve. We have to weigh our options and assess the risks associated with each. Right now there is clearly no good solution,and with the expiration of the moratorium we may see a whole lot more folks moving outdoors to live. Every city in the country is dealing with this same problem and there appears to be no easy solution. > I know that this response may be unsatisfactory to you as there are still a lot of unknowns. But this also means that there is an opportunity for you to share your opinions and thoughts. You already have, of course, but I would also encourage you to provide public comment about your specific concerns at 9 am during our Monday morning BOCC meetings: >Zoom Meeting: https://zoom.us/j/93777841705 This option will allow you >to join the meeting live.You will need to enter an email address.

While there was hope that the Equestrian Association would be able to raise funds to turn it into a horse park,that was not the original intended use or zoning. Just want to use this opportunity to remind folks that land use and zoning can be looked up on the County website. Property often has rights or uses associated with it that can come as a surprise to neighbors. > https://gisweb.jeffcowa.us/TaxParcelViewer/ > Kate Dean >Jefferson County Commissioner, District 1 >18zo Jefferson Street > Port Townsend,WA 98368 >(36o)385-91oo >kdean@co.jefferson.wa.us > Original Message > From: Lisa Stoutmoose <stoutmoose®a yahoo.com> > Sent:Wednesday,June 9, zo2110:31 AM >To: Kate Dean <KDean@co.jefferson.wa.us>; Heidi Eisenhour ><HEisenhour@co.jefferson.wa.us>; Greg Brotherton ><GBrotherton®a co.jefferson.wa.us> 2 >Subject: Homeless > >CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization.

Hello Greg and the rest of the team, I am writing to you as a young family who lives directly across the street from where you propose to move the homeless camp. THIS IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD! WE WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION FOR THIS. I saw the email responses to many people in this community and see that you have not considered the rural neighborhood that surrounds this site. We have paid good money for our property, and I think you know that our property prices will decrease substantially with this choice.This is the livelihood for my family and so many around me. Not only that, but the current rural and SAFE environment that we have here will be crushed. I will no longer be able to go for a walk in nature with my newborn and husband. We will constantly be anxious as to our own safety while in our home, this will create a busy road. I am not the only one who feels this. Please consider what I have said, and know I will sue if this is executed. I have also left a voicemail to Greg.

I am a resident of Cape George Road who has just been informed of the proposed homeless encampment. I find it egregious that the neighborhood was not given adequate notice to respond to this proposal before it moved forward to our representatives. I DO NOT approve of the proposal to bring in homeless to this area. There are many pitfalls to this idea including the safety of the neighborhood and the proposed infrastructure changes for a "temporary"situation that seems to be leaning towards a permanent outcome. My family is concerned about the changes that will have to take place in order to bring in these people and having seen the wreckage that is the Fair Grounds we do not want the same situation here. The location is right near trails that my family use often and next to a high-speed road that I drive often.This is not the place for a homeless haven. I wish I had time to write more but this needs to be read before the meeting today. Thank you, William 1 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Wednesday, June 9, 2021 2:00 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW:Apply now for the NACo County Leadership Institute From: Washington Counties I WSAC Sent: Wednesday, June 9, 2021 1:59:32 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Kate Dean Subject: Apply now for the NACo County Leadership Institute CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. i To Whom It May Concern and Jefferson County Commissioners, I heard today that the homeless encampment at the Fairgrounds may be moving to the Cape George Road area. This was disturbing news for our family and other families who lives close to the site being considered. Our area is Community of young and older families who live here outside the Port Townsend City Center. We enjoy the safety of this rural area and feel this will threaten the feeling of security that we have here in our neighborhood. While I understand that the county is looking for an alternative site, there are many reasons why this is not a good location for relocation of the homeless. There are many children, and older folks who are not prepared to deal with the challenges that the homeless can bring to our small neighborhood community. Those that are homeless do much better in walking distance to services and the Cape George Site is far from the existing services available. We as a small community can never provide what they need to truly get back on their feet. Please do your due diligence and study the example of another caring community that offered property for the homeless and then became overrun with a situation that was not sustainable. In Chico California ,caring individuals allowed a few homeless to camp at Comanche Creek. Now it has become a drain on the police and emergency services as more and more homeless have moved to the area. Property values of near properties have plummeted and families are fleeing that area. We do not want this to happen as my family would love to stay in this community.Please reconsider finding a place within the city that has opportunities for these unfortunate individuals to successfully transition into productive members of a community. Why not each church site take in one homeless individual or family and have the church communities wrap that person with care. A rural placement will not be advantageous to these homeless individuals or our neighborhood.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Hi there, I am a new owner& resident at 431 J Popper Way. I was highly concerned to find out yesterday that there are plans to move the homeless encampment pretty much directly behind our newly required property. I have 2 kids, ages 8& 5.We moved from a city lot in Port Townsend with the intent of giving our kids a more rural upbringing with freedom to explore our 2 acres&the surrounding areas.A micro-town,without any sort of objective governance, defeats that purpose along with the fact that we chose a quiet neighborhood *on purpose*, & I can only imagine how that would change.The fact that our property backed up to land that wasn't going to be built on or developed was a huge draw. I agree we need a solution for people without homes. But allowing communities, often rift with mental instability, drug use, etc.&dependent on self-governance to spring up near family neighborhoods doesn't seem like it will fix anything. Is this supposed to be a long term solution? A final note, is that our property&anything we build on it will immediately lose resale value.We are pouring every penny we have into establishing ourselves in this neighborhood. &to lose the security of our investment is a huge shock. Thank you for considering the concerns of the Cape George Rd residents, especially the young families.
