BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Mark McCauley, Interim County Administrator
FROM: Heidi Eisenhour, Commissioner
DATE: September 7, 2021
SUBJECT: Grant agreement w/Jefferson Land Trust, Interagency agreement w/DNR
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Jefferson Land Trust (JLT) partnered with Jefferson County in 2009 to lease three Trust Land Transfer
(TLT) Properties, which are state trust land, to the County under the Leases. The Leases were made as trust
land transfers under the authority of Washington Laws of 2008, chapter 328, Section 3042. The Leases
contained a provision whereby the County could purchase the TLT Properties, under certain conditions.
On June 9, 2009, JLT and the County entered into a Stewardship Agreement relating to the Quimper
Peninsula East Property, the Quimper Peninsula West Property, and the Thorndike Property, whereby JLT
agreed to undertake certain reporting, monitoring, and stewardship activities. Now, Jefferson County desires
to exercise its authority, with the support and partnership of Jefferson Land Trust, under the Leases to
purchase the fee interest of the TLT Properties from the State of Washington, held by the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR). The County's purchase of the TLT Properties from the State would satisfy JLT's
mission, by bringing the TLT Properties into perpetual conservation. JLT wishes to facilitate the purchase of
the TLT Properties by the County, by contributing funds pursuant to this Agreement.
The parties desire to take such steps as are necessary to prepare for this transfer and including JLT paying
DNR's costs anticipated in preparing this transaction. The first step is entering into this grant agreement with
Jefferson Land Trust. Subsequently, potentially concurrently, Jefferson County will enter into an
Interagency Agreement (IAA) with DNR.
ANALYSIS:
The purpose of this Agreement is to facilitate the purchase by the County of one or more of the DNR TLT
Properties that were leased by the county in 2009, so these properties can be conserved perpetually. At
closing of the County's purchase of any of the TLT Properties from DNR that has been funded by JLT, the
County shall record a restrictive covenant on the property, preventing subdivision, while allowing
agricultural uses, sustainable forest management, and habitat protections and not converted to a different use
from these uses, unless and only if JLT consents.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Jefferson Land Trust per this agreement is covering costs associated with these transactions. Specifically,
not later than 30 days after the effective date of the Interagency Agreement between DNR and Jefferson
County, JLT shall pay to the County the $30,000 the County is required to pay DNR for its estimated costs
to prepare the transfer of the TLT Properties to Jefferson County and not later than 10 days before the
closing of the County's purchase of any of the TLT Properties from DNR in fee simple, JLT shall pay to the
County the full amount the County is required to place in escrow for acquiring such TLT Property from
DNR, including but not limited to the purchase price of the property.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and sign both of these agreements.
