Joh nson (djohnson @co jefferson.wa.us);'peckassoc@comcast.net' Schipanski, Rich FW: Employee Housing and PT & Seasonal Employment Paul Hospelhorn Hi David -For your review, below is a write-up on the employee housing and Conditions 63(g). BoCC Condition 63 (g): "the developer sholl provide affordoble housing (e.9., no more thon 30% of household income)for the Brinnon MPR workers roughly proportional to the number of jobs creoted that eorn 80% or less of the Brinnon oreo AMl. The developer may satisfy this condition through dedicotion of lond, poyment of in lieu fee, or onsite housing development." There will be 52 units of staff housing. Each unit will have two bedrooms, and each bedroom will accommodate up to two employees. Employee housing will therefore accommodate up to 208 employees. The applicant has also stated that 36 Suites would be provided for Executive personnel. The Wright Johnson Report states that 223 positions (out of 225) would be at or below 80% of the Brinnon AMl. Based on the above described, 92%of the 223 employees earning at or below 80%of the AMlwould have access to affordable housing on-site. Assuming that a portion of the 223 positions would be executive personnel, some additional suites could be available (36 in total), and sufficient employee housing could be available to cover full time employees with earnings at or below 80% of the AMl. ln addition, the applicant has also committed to the following For full-time employees including the amenities for accommodation (that is not more than 30% of the employees income), and their food allowance, will be above the 80% Brinnon AMl, at the time of stabilized employment. The definition for Stabilized Employment for Full-Time Employees: Each Career Candidate requires multi-task coaching for 3 months of employment. Following an assessment as to their performance and suitability for the career position, the candidate and the employer agree to their recognition as full-time. Part-time employees will be drawn from younger persons who reside within an approximately 20 mile radius of Pleasant Harbor Resort. Best, Kristy Kristy M.

Regarding staff housing, the bed count already assumed two people per housing unit - there are 52 units proposed, with two persons per unit, which equals the 104 employees. Actually, the design of the suites is a lock-out where each bedroom has 2 personal beds and it's own bathroom, leading to a living room and kitchen. So Diane is correct, there could be 2 persons of the same gender sharing a suite The AMI for Brinnon that is cited in the SEIS is from the Wright Johnson report. They reference the following as the source: "U.S. Census Bureau, 2008-2012 American Community Survey. "Selected Economic Characteristics." Data for Brinnon, Washington." I would assume that the Census wraps the unemployed into their numbers. Thanks, Kristy Kristy M.

Good Point. I will pass this onto Kristy Regarding AMl, not sure how this data is collected. Unemployed, looking for work are probably not included in this data? So this is inflated for our area?

Jeff Holland is following up with Wright Johnson in terms of the release of their report. 3 a The report provided last fall by Diane Coleman related to the direct wages as of the 2015 market place. We asked for the 2015 Brinnon AMI which you state as $42,675, therefore 80% is $34,143 for full time employees. We will guarantee for fulltime employees including the amenities for accommodation (that is not more than 30% of the employees income), and their food allowance, will be above the 80% Brinnon AMl, at the time of their stabilized employment. The definition for Stabilized Employment for Full-Time Employees: Each Career Candidate requires multi-task coaching for 3 months of employment. Following an assessment as to their performance and suitability for the career position, the candidate and the employer agree to their recognition as full-time. Part-Time Employment is defined by legislation in Washington State, and is referenced in the Wright Johnson report as statistical employment numbers. The Pleasant Harbor Marina Resort becomes the Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort & SPA when completed following 4 phases. We will provide staff accommodation for 104 fulltime staff members and 36 Suites for Executive personnel. Part-time accommodation will be drawn from younger persons who reside within a 20 mile radius of Pleasant Harbor Resort. ln terms of the Access Easement between the Pleasant Harbor Properties and the Richard's B & B; we are presently equal owners with access rights to the shared private dock that is included in the DNR lease area. The Richards acknowledge this fact of shared access. We have offered to the Richards, at the recommendation of Craig Peck, that we would connect their house to the Water Service and eventually the Waste Water Treatment Plant as a no-cost service to assist with the sale of their property. Since the property and the house is 83% enclosed within the Shoreline Management Plan setback, the value of the property as an inclusion within the Resort does not work for us. We are awaiting a response to this offer from the Richards. Please respond to the aforementioned . Thank you Garth M.

Johnson (diohnson@co.iefferson.wa.us); 'peckassoc@comcast.net'; Schipanski, Rich Subject: RE: Employee Housing and PT & Seasonal Employment Paul Hospelhorn Hi Garth, Thank you for your response. Yes, I was aware that 52 units of staff housing for 104 employees are included in the proposal. My question was: o How many of the 225 operational jobs would be part time, and how many would be full time? And are seasonaljobs included in the 225 operational employees count? This report is being finished by as we speak by Marianna at Wright Johnson, This relates to Condition 63 (g) which states: "the developer shall provide affordable housing (e.g., no more than 30% of household income) for the Brinnon MPR workers roughly proportional to the number of jobs created that earn 80% or less of the Brinnon area AMl. The developer may satisfy this condition through dedication of land, payment of in lieu fee, or onsite housing development." The key for the report is to recognize that with an employee based report, salaries are commensurate with the employees learning curve. ln other words, Diane Coleman starts most of the parttime employees at a lesser number that increases following their 3 month trial period. ln some cases, she has those employees who want to excel take educational courses in the hospitality industry which also increases their compensation levels commensurate with their value. When the employee housing facility is constructed, the benefits realized from accommodation and food & beverage entities is a real number that must be considered in the report itself as a paid benefit to the employee. There are 52 units of employee housing proposed, for 104 people in total, which leaves 113 employees earning 80% or less of the AMI without housing. So I am trying to determine how Condition 63(g) will be met.(For Marianna's benefit what is your numbers representing 80% of the Brinnon AMI ?) So far we have 22 new employees working each week at the new Galley and PUB and the Marina. These people have found localaccommodation while we move forward with the SEIS. You would be wise to take an few hours and research what is happening in-situ in order to be more familiar with your present understanding. Those staff that are in the Executive Coaching area will likely have children and therefore we have allocated a number of the VISTAS as accommodation for these people.

We also provide accommodation for our Executive Coaches who occupy family units called VISTAS At present we have +l-22 new employees and 5 returning employees who reside in the vicinity of PHR.

Do you have a breakdown of the total operational employees (cited as 225 in the Wright Johnson report) that would be Part Time v.
