Mark,
Dave Olsen in our lTdepartment is in charge of the webpage rollout. l've attached the website upgrade timeline for
you to review. lt shows training as May 23-26 and we currently have training set June 6-9th so we may be pushed out a
couple weeks from this schedule. CivicPlus is the company who is designing out new website, they have done a lot of
work for other localjurisdictions so we believe they will put together something that is really great. I believe the roll
out is set for the end of June or beginning of July. CivicPlus will transfer the webpages that are currently live to new
webpages under their format, then each department will be responsible for maintaining those and creating any pages
that are not currently up that we may want to have going forward.
Here are a few Counties that have used CivicPlus, our webpage will be set up very similarly.

I did forget the subarea plan attachment, but have listed it on this email

ln order for you to get all the information you need in a timely manner I have created a fileshare account that contains
everything that was on our old webpage related to Brinnon. This should help you to get the information you are looking
for quickly. I am unsure if the explorer webpage links will work for you and it's possible some of the hyperlinks will
direct you to pages that I have not provided. Let me know if there is something you can't locate that you need and I can
add it to the fileshare account.

Thanks for your response Jodi. I apologize - I did not see your previous response. I don't see an attachment.
Am I missing that? It's unacceptable to me that the Brinnon sub area plan won't be on the new site. Brinnon is
in Jefferson County, I'm a landowner and taxpayer in Brinnon. A huge amount of work went into that plan,
plus attendant reviews and appeals. We cannot adequately review the Brinnon MPR proposal without
reviewing the sub area plan. It's not enough to pass around a huge file via email. It should be centrally located
on the web so any developer or citizen can see how Brinnon has planned its future. Is Garth Mann familiar
with the Brinnon sub area plan?
I still am not clear on the whole web project: Who is overseeing it? What is the end result? When can we
expect it? I'll seek answers to that from the Commissioners. I know you're doing the best you can with the staff
you have. Maybe it's up to the Commissioners to make this a priority and devote the resources necessary to
have a fully functional, robust site so we can all access the information we need. In the least, it can be
communicated to us what the plan and time frame is for the new site. Mark

Good Afternoon Mark,
I notice below you mentioned that your previous request has not been answered. I replied on March 23'd to your
questions but maybe they were sent to the junk portion or your email box so I will attach the reply to this email for
you to review. I would be happy to answer any document or website questions for you.
I am also attaching a pdf of the Brinnon Subarea Plan page foryou to review. lf there is documentation from this page
you would like please let me know. I do not believe we will be reposting the Brinnon Subarea webpage once the new
website it up. With the number of projects our department works on over the years we just do not have the staff to
keep the pages up and current. We can however provide you with the information you may need from that time
period upon request.
We are doing our best to keep the webpages of the projects we are currently working on up and active. lf you find
there are links that are not working on those pages, please let me know. I try to get those fixed right away.
As for Comp Plan contribution you should forward your questions to David Greetham our Planning Manager. I am not
sure we will be working on Brinnon updates during this round of the Comp Plan as we are nearing the end of the
update cycle. David can give you a better idea of how the Comp Plan update works.
Thank you,

Hi Michelle: Follow-up on v/m. Hope you had a wonderful incredible-weather Memorial Day. This is the
letter I sent to BOCC re: JeffCo web site. It's the same site I remember 15+ yrs ago when I was trying to get
documents and I wonder what the next iteration will look like? Thank you for guidance. Mark

Commissioners:
In 2001 - 2002,I was involved in research, review and appeals of the Brinnon sub area plan. It required
hundreds of hours of time devoted to understanding rules and regulations, and the vagaries of the GMA. It is
difficult for "ordinary" citizens to grasp RCWs, WACs, SEPA, LAMIRDs, the UDC, EIS, et al, but it is
possible if you devote time and you have free and easy access to information.
Along with my neighbors in Brinnon, we would like to be involved in the current Comp Plan amendment
process, and review of the Brinnon sub area plan for possible updates. Unfortunately, that is not possible with
the current state of the Jefferson County web site.
,
The site is a mess. It is difficult to impossible to find information, and many of the links are broken. This is
not a trivial matter. Access to information is the bedrock of public participation in government. The current
state of the site exposes the County to liability for not providing the public with access to public documents. I
understand that the site is going through some sort of metamorphosis but there is no explanation on the site
about what's going on, and the inquiry I sent via email has not been answered.

a What is going on with the official Jeflerson County web site?
Who is doing the work?
When is completion expected?
What will the new site look like and how will it function?
Meanwhile, how do we access the information we need to be involved in County land use issues?

Good Afternoon Mark,
ll Thank you for you feedback below. I apologize that you were having difficulty navigating the Pleasant Harbor Master
Planned Resort page. We are migrating to a new website and we're hoping that is live in July, until then we are stuck
with our clunky format. At this time we haven't made any changes to the Pleasant Harbor - Brinnon Master Planned
resort page so l'm unsure if there issomething in particularthat needs updating?
lf you can tell me what documents are hard to access l'd be happy to make sure the links are working properly and
forward you the documents that you are looking for.
We keep our main office line as the contact phone number because the project has changed planners through the
years and the current planner is part time. We keep all incoming calls routed through our main reception line so you
always get a live person answering the phone to help with your questions
We are currently working on processing the application and are working on updating the Development Regulations
and Development Agreement. ln draft form they are not available to the public but they will be provided to the Board
of County Commissioners when they are finalized and ready for the Board to review. At this time we do not have new
information to update the website with or any public meetings coming up. You can find past material that we've
presented to the Planning Commission by reviewing past Agendas and Minutes here:
