Aaron and Garth:
At this point in the Preliminary Draft SEIS, we have stated there will be 191 permanent employees upon
buildout of the site. Please confirm this number is correct, or state the correct number. Report #1 listed
below provides several different numbers - 156.6,185, and 191 direct permanent jobs.
We have also stated that there will be 275 construction jobs. Please confirm this number, or state the correct
number. The two reports created by Wright Johnson provide two other different numbers: 213.5jobs and 186
jobs.

To clarify what I requested last Tuesday (1-7-13), we have all the 4 reports below, including #3 and 4, the
Wright Johnson LLC reports from Aaron Goforth. My question is whether these two reports supercede reports
#1 and 2 (the Job Creation report and the Michael Evans EB-5 report) and whether reports #1 and 2 should
NOT be included in the SEIS.
To fulfill BoCC Condition 639, we need the correct overall number of direct permanent jobs upon buildout and
how many of these jobs will earn less than 80% of the area AMI. If these numbers already exist, please point
me to the correct reference.

This data is one of the last items we need to complete the SEIS, along with the Water and Sewer reports

I have been going through the following four reports to determine the accurate employment numbers for the
Pleasant Harbor project:
1. Job Creation and Value Added to the National Economy by an unknown author and unknown date - not
indicated on document (currently Appendix N of the Preliminary Draft SEIS - attached)
2. Economic Impact of Developing the Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort in Brinnon, Jefferson
County, WA as part of New EB-5 Regional Center in Westem Washington by Michael Evans, April
2012 (cunently Appendix S of the Preliminary Draft SEIS - too large to email - see EA ftp site or County
website for document)
3. An Economic Analysis of the Regional Center Encompassing the Counties of Clallam, Jefferson and
Kitsap of the State of Washington Final Report Prepared for Puget Sound Regional Center, LLC by Wright
Johnson, LLC, August 2013 - attached
4. An Economic Analysis of Earnings Pursuant to Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners'
Condition 639 for the Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort by Wright Johnson, LLC, November 2013 -
attached
Report #1 has several different employment numbers. On the Summary Table and the table of page 14, the
report indicates 268 jobs from operation of the project, of which 156.6 are direct jobs. On the Key Findings
page (pg 2) and page 16, the report indicates 185 direct permanent employees. Figure 4 on page 9 indicates 191
permanent operation employees.
Report #2 indicates in its executive summary that for permanent operational employment, there will be: 48 jobs
in Stage I;424jobs from Stage II, Phase 1; and 176 jobs in Stage II, Phases 2 and 3. This totals 648 jobs. It is
unclear to me, but it seems like this includes direct, indirect and induced employment,
Report #3 indicates in Table 2-l (pg l7) that 213.5 direct and indirect construction jobs will be created
Operational employment does not appear to be calculated in this report.
3
Report #4 indicates in Table 3-1 (pg 6) that 186 direct and indirect construction jobs will be created. The report
calculates that 15 of these jobs will earn less than 80% of the Brinnon arcaaverage median income (AMI) to
fulfill BoCC Condition 63g.
As you can see from the above, several different employment numbers have been generated over the past couple
of years and it is unclear which reports may supercede others for use in the SEIS. Please indicate any reports
which no longer should be utilized for purposes of the SEIS. Please also provide the correct overall number of
direct jobs upon buildout.
For purposes of fulfilling BoCC Condition 639, which addresses affordable housing based on permanent
employment jobs/wages, we need the total number of direct permanent jobs and how many of these jobs will
earn less than 80% of the area AML Report #4 only addresses construction employment.
Thank you,
Karen Swenson

Aaron - could you clarify if the Economic Analysis of the Regional Center Project report you drafted
supersedes the attached report? I am unsure of the author or the date, but have been told it was written in June
20t2.

Sorr), for the delaYed resPonse.
Attached is the report that was used with USCIS to gain Regional Center designation. I am not sure what
purpose you would like to use it for but EB_5 job studies do not typically include salary levels.

Garth,

Here is the list of outstanding items prepared by Karen (and supplemented by me) that address deficiencies to
be provided to EA to complete the Draft SEIS for Pleasant Harbor:
l. Energy Demand Memo (short memo to accompany the conceptual load spreadsheet previously provided by
Hargis on 7-3-13). The spreadsheet must be updated to reflect the revised Stage/Phase plan that re-schedules
treatment plant for later phases and combines the removal of Reunion House and Harbor View House into re-
designed Maritime Building
We provided to Karen Swenson the report from the Energy Firm of FAILSAFE CANADA INC. who detailed
the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report prepared May 2012 which is still current in terms of the source
emissions relative to the phased development. The phasing plan should not materially impact the end result
except positively through the elimination of the Reunion House and Harbor View House.?
l. Energy Supply Report/Memo from Scott (STEVE) Taylor at the PUD regarding transmission capacity and
transformers on- and off-site.
Steve Taylor of the PUD has been asked to provide the Transmission capacity including Transformers based
on the Phasing Plan.
I have not been successful in having them provide this as an update to the phasing plan working with Eric and
Team @ Hargis Eng..
Please see if you or Eric c/o Hargis can describe for Steve c/o the PUD #l to complete this exercise for us.
1. Clarification of compliance with the first part of BoCC 63(g) - "The developer shall commission a study of
the number ofjobs expected to be created as a direct or indirect result of the MPR that earn 80% or less of the
Brinnon area average median income (AMI)." The2012 Jobs Study,Summary of Pleasant Harbor Impacts: Job
Creation and Value Added to National Economy, did not include salary levels of proposed jobs and/or
comparison the the Brinnon AMI. Garth noted that "Aaron Goforth of Wright Johnson LLC would address the
reports for accuracy and proposed salaries."
This report had been completed by Aaron and his team at Wright Johnson LLC.
I am copying this email to Aaron who would be pleased to send this information from their various reports
for USCIS approvals as a Rural
Regional Center.
Please direct those responsible for this work to proceed immediately to complete these items.
Thank you.
Craig
