Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. County and City Elected Officials, Good afternoon. As you know, WSF is experiencing significant COVID-related crewing challenges. As we enter the always- busy Labor Day Weekend,there is a high probability of additional canceled sailings due to a lack of crewing. Additionally,there are rumors circulating about a possible organized job action by some WSF employees this weekend in response to the governor's vaccine mandate. It is clear any such action would not be legal, and the attached message from WSF management and labor leadership has been sent to all employees this afternoon, reinforcing that fact. Knowing that we are likely to continue facing staffing challenges this weekend, we are taking action to, if possible, lessen the impact on passengers. First,no new vehicle reservations are being taken on our two reservations routes—Anacortes/San Juan Islands and Port Townsend/Coupeville—for travel Friday, September 3,though Monday, September 6. Existing reservations for those dates are not affected,but no new reservations can be made. Reservations open for travel after September 6 will be available. This temporary suspension will increase the reliability of existing reservations and customers reaching their destinations. Second, our Operations and Planning teams are developing ant to s for maintaining as much service as possible move as many passengers as possible during with the crewing available. For example, while it's important the holiday weekend, we must ensure service to island communities who rely on ferries for medical and emergency services. Third,the attached"Labor Day Travel" advisory is the first stage of messaging our passengers through traditional/social media and passenger alerts, advising them of possible canceled sailings and long delays. We understand people have plans, and will travel,but will do what we can to prepare them for possible delays. Our vessel crews and terminals staffs have done an incredible job keeping our system running for the last 18 months, sometimes at the risk of their health. We appreciate their commitment to service, and while i understanding the concern and frustration some of our colleagues feel,we also take our commitment to the public seriously. We appreciate our passenger's understanding of our current service constraints and their planning travel plans accordingly. Best, John John B. Vezina Government Relations Director Washington State Ferries Cell - 206.473.9945 Pronouns: He/Him/His 2 Labor Day message As we approach the Labor Day holiday weekend, I want to take a moment to commend you and all ferry employees for the vital service you provide to our customers especially under the extreme circumstances of the last year and a half. We appreciate the personal sacrifices you have made throughout the pandemic, including coming to work on your days off, to ensure the public receives safe and reliable transportation. Your work is critical to ensure our marine highways remain open for emergency responders, local businesses, and the tens of thousands of families that will depend on us this holiday weekend. Without you, it doesn't happen. Unfortunately, this message is also for our frontline coworkers that may be considering taking personal action that may disrupt ferry operations in-order to protest the state's vaccine requirement. Please consider that any action that increases the pressure on the Dispatch system puts an unfair burden on your fellow employees to try to fill your duties. It also is detrimental to the traveling public who depend on us. The agency is working diligently to provide information to staff and collaborate with the Maritime Coalition of labor unions to bargain the impacts of the vaccine requirement. Any action taken by individual employees with the purpose of disrupting service will only work against the efforts currently underway with management and these labor partners. Labor Day is a celebration of the progress made when diverse groups of people come together for a common goal. It has been a hard summer with staff shortages, missed sailings and the pandemic. To all of you who have kept the system operational through these difficult times, please know, and be proud of the fact that your labor is truly appreciated by the millions of people in the Puget Sound region who depend on you. Thank you, in-advance, for your continued professionalism this coming weekend and beyond. Assistant Secretary Patty Rubstello Chief of Staff Nicole McIntosh Members of the Maritime Labor Coalition: FASPAA IBU MEBA MM&P OPEIU Washington State Department of Transportation — NEWS Ferries Division —2901 Third Ave., Suite 500— Seattle, WA 98121-3024 —206-515-3400 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Aug. 31, 2021 Contact: Ian Sterling, communications, 206-714-1556 WSF media hotline, 206-402-8070 Long ferry lines for vehicles expected Labor Day weekend Plan for extended waits, possible disrupted sailings from crew shortages SEATTLE—Pack extra patience if your Labor Day weekend travel plans include a Washington State Ferries ride. In addition to the usual long vehicle boarding lines surrounding holiday weekends, riders should be prepared for the possibility of disrupted sailings due to COVID-19 cases and quarantines among crew and the global shortage of mariners. "Our dispatch team is working in overdrive to staff our vessels with some crew needing to quarantine, with many crewmembers holding over and working beyond their scheduled shifts to keep our vessels in service," said Patty Rubstello, head of WSF. "In addition, like many industries, the maritime sector, both locally and internationally, is facing a shortage of experienced employees and many marine transportation systems are dealing with a staffing shortfall. We continue to recruit new employees, but we're struggling to find qualified mariners." WSF crew who are sick are required to stay home and anyone exposed to COVID-19 also must follow health safety guidelines that can include quarantining at home. This affects already strained crew levels. No new vehicle reservations available during holiday weekend Due to the possibility of disrupted sailings from a lack of crew over the holiday weekend, no new vehicle reservations are being taken on either the Anacortes/San Juan Islands or Port Townsend/Coupeville routes for travel on Friday, Sept. 3, through Monday, Sept. 6. Existing reservations for those dates are not affected, but no new ones can be made. This reservation suspension is intended to increase the reliability of existing reservations and of customers reaching destinations. Ongoing schedule modifications In addition to possible last-minute sailing cancellations, the following routes are operating on modified schedules: • Seattle/Bainbridge, Seattle/Bremerton and Mukilteo/Clinton: Final daily round trip suspended • Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth: Two-boat service instead of three on Sundays only; late-night sailings suspended • Edmonds/Kingston: Final round trip suspended on Fridays and Saturdays only • Port Townsend/Coupeville: One-boat service instead of two • Anacortes/Friday Harbor/Sidney, British Columbia: Suspended until 2022 Busy travel times Ferries are popular every holiday weekend and people boarding a ferry by vehicle should be prepared for long waits. The busiest sailings will likely be westbound (or onto an island) Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 2-4, then eastbound (or off island) Sunday through Tuesday, Sept. 5-7. To reduce or eliminate waiting, riders may consider taking an early morning or late- night sailing or walking on. Holiday schedules On Monday, Sept. 6, there will be a few Labor Day schedule adjustments on most routes. Holiday sailings are marked on the timetables for each route. Seattle/Bremerton route schedule changes starting Tuesday, Sept. 7 Because of crewing challenges and a shortage of available vessels, the Seattle/Bremerton run will be reduced from two to one-boat service after Labor Day. Starting Tuesday, Sept. 7, the Chimacum will operate only the #2 sailings on the route's schedule while the Kaleetan undergoes necessary drydock work through mid-October. Before heading to a terminal or boarding, customers are encouraged to sign up for ferry email alerts and check terminal conditions. A face covering is required in all indoor areas of vessels and terminals in compliance with the governor's "Washington Ready"proclamation and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's order for public transportation. People using state highways to get to the ferry terminal should plan ahead for potential holiday travel backups and delays with real-time traffic information on the WSDOT traffic app for mobile devices. Limited food services available Although galleys on vessels remain temporarily closed, WSF is working with its concessions vendor to gradually resume limited galley services on a vessel-by-vessel basis over the coming months. Vending machines are available at most terminals and on vessels. In addition, the Dockside Café kiosk at the Anacortes vehicle holding lanes is open daily. WSF, a division of the Washington State Department of Transportation, is the largest ferry system in the U.S. and safely and efficiently carries tens of millions of people a year through some of the most majestic scenery in the world. The system is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. For breaking news and the latest information, follow WSF on Twitter and Facebook.

Dear Commissioners, First I want to thank you for your speedy work on my request about the letter of non objection, I just received a message that the liquor license will be issued in time for our event. Second, I want to see if either Commissioner Brotherton or Eisenhour have time to help with another request with a very fast turn around.

We are seeking one last letter of recommendation to accompany our application, and are asking a few key community members for help on this.We need to submit the application on Wednesday September 1. Since Commissioner Dean is on our board we can't have her write it. If either of you have any time on Wednesday to write a letter, we would greatly appreciate it. I'd be happy to chat on the phone about the program and our application. Thanks so much for all you do, and if you aren't able to write this that's totally understandable, I'm sorry for the last minute request.

She will share her journey with weaving since 1996 and how it has led to her dream job as faculty at The Evergreen State College. She will distinguish context from content, identifying the relationship between the Coast Salish Worldview and the craft of Coast Salish Wool Weaving. Guests will enjoy a show and tell of her work, a process which often requires several months of dedicated focus. This event will be held in-person at the NW Maritime Center AND will be recorded to access virtually. The in-person event is limited to 30 people. Registration is required for both options; register here to attend in-person or receive the link to the recording. sa'hLa mitSa - Dr. Susan Pavel, Filipina by birth, first learned Coast Salish wool weaving during the summer of 1996. Her master teacher was subiyay - Bruce Miller of the Skokomish Nation, Uncle to her husband chixApKaid — Michael Pavel. Each summer she would take three full months to produce one ceremonial blanket and then gift it to various elders of the tribe. By the fourth year it was suggested to sell her creations as an exchange of gifts and she started along that path. By the seventh year she was invited to teach weaving classes for other Nations and has 3 taught hundreds of students. She has curated, participated, and solo exhibited in 12 museum exhibits and over 25 gallery exhibits. She has been awarded 17 artist-in-residence or grant opportunities. She has over 30 bibliographic acknowledgements. She has consistently taught, presented, and/or demonstrated, at least 80 times. Her weavings can be seen in 10 public venues and numerous private collections across the nation. She currently serves as the Executive Director of the Coast Salish Wool Weaving Center, as well as an adjunct faculty member at The Evergreen State College. Today she continues to weave and teach, as she is obedient to SQ3Tsya'yay— Weaver's Spirit Power. Witnessing Climate Change 4 VI': tl1/4,110, ;il, . '''..' '•'',#4111141 .4'...

We are happy to announce a significant planning effort underway at JCHS! We are embarking on a renewal of our museum experience and history exhibitions at the Jefferson Museum of Art & History in Port Townsend with consultant Karina White. As our friends in the community, we would love to have you participate in the interpretive planning process through a brief survey. This three-year project starts with learning about our partners in the community and what folks want from a community museum. Why are we doing an Exhibition Renewal Project: • History is always changing o Our history exhibits have not been significantly refreshed in decades, and we want to share new knowledge, stories, understandings, and perspectives. • Exhibits are foundational to our work o Exhibits are the springboard for our programs and services; we want to bring the whole museum to life, in alignment with our mission, vision, and values. • We are an important resource for our community o Our new exhibits will connect with our community - people from different backgrounds, learning styles, ages, and interests. We deeply appreciate you sharing your experiences and ideas. The survey should take approximately 15 minutes of your time. Click the link below to participate.

Please click on either document below to view/download/print original docs 1 / Public filth PRESS RELEASE September 2,2021 Allison Berry,MD, MPH,Health Officer for Jefferson and Clallam counties JEFFERSON AND CLALLAM COUNTIES---All patrons entering an indoor restaurant or bar in Jefferson and Clallam Counties must provide proof they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, beginning Saturday, September 4, according to a public health order issued today by Doctor Allison Berry,Health Officer for Jefferson and Clallam counties. "Indoor bars and restaurants are known to pose a high risk for COVID-19 transmission,as they encourage unmasking of large groups of people indoors,"reports Dr. Berry,"Our goal is to make these safer places to be and to reduce transmission in our communities,allowing our hospitals to keep functioning and our schools to open more safely this fall." Acceptable forms of proof of vaccination include a completed CDC vaccination card, a State Department of Health Certificate of COVID-19 Vaccination, a printed copy of a State Department of Health vaccine record,a photograph of any of those documents,or an app•based vaccine passport. According to the order, a person is fully vaccinated when they have received all the required doses of a vaccine for COVID-19 and 14 days have passed since the final dose.For the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines,two doses are required.Johnson&Johnson's vaccine requires only one. Employees of bars and restaurants who mask continuously while in the building do not need to provide proof of vaccination. Additionally, children younger than 12, who are ineligible for vaccination, may enter without showing proof. As of last month, 495 outbreaks of COVID-19 have been traced to restaurants and bars in Washington State, including several in Jefferson and Clallam Counties, according to the most recent outbreak situation report from the Washington State Department of Ilealth. "Given the ability of the delta variant to spread beyond 6 feet when people are unmasked indoors, we believe that a vaccine requirement will be more effective and less costly than the capacity limitations we saw last year,"t)r.Berry said,"We want to keep businesses open while protecting the public.This is how we do it." Vaccination remains the most powerful tool we have to reduce illness,hospitalization and death from COVID-19. In Washington State, 94% of those who have been hospitalized and 92% of those who have died due to COVID-19 were unvaccinated. "With hospitals around our region stretched to the breaking point,we need to do everything we can to keep our communities safe" Dr. Berry said.. -Getting vaccinated with this incredible vaccine,which is safe,effective,free and life-saving,is simply the right thing to do." 2 ±r r Vaccinated Patrons Only Please be prepared to present one of the following: • Completed CDC vaccination card • State Department of Health Certificate of COVID-19 Vaccination • Printed copy of a State Department of Health vaccine record • A photograph of any of the above documents • An app-based vaccine passport In accordance with Jefferson County Health Officer Order dated September 2, 2021 Sent on behalf of Jefferson County Public Health Your Ad could be reaching this large audience at no cost to you!Just ask us!

Treasury announced the following important updates: COUNTIES EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH RECOVERY FUND REPORTING Treasury understands that some recipients have had technical problems that have made it difficult to submit reports on time.Treasury continues to assist individual recipients and hopes to resolve remaining technical issues as soon as possible. Counties that made a reasonable effort to file before the deadline will not be counted as late if they experienced technical issues in the reporting system that prevented them from filing on time. COUNTIES IMPACTED BY NATURAL DISASTERS Treasury recognizes that recent natural disasters, including Hurricane Ida and wildfires, impacted the ability of some counties to submit reports by the deadline.Any jurisdiction that is covered by a governor or tribal declared state of emergency and remains unable to submit the report due to emergency conditions should notify Treasury, providing a clear explanation of why the report has not been submitted, and proposing a specific date by which the report will be ready for submission.Treasury will document this information in its reporting system so that your jurisdiction will not be included in any public reporting about jurisdictions that failed to submit reports in a timely manner. Extension requests and related explanations should be sent to SLFRP@treasury.gov.The Interim Report and the Recovery Plan Performance Report, if applicable, should be submitted through Treasury's State, Local and Tribal support portal. Please note the reporting extension due to Hurricane Ida is eligible for counties in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi only. As a reminder, only counties that received Recovery Funds prior to July 15, 2021 were required to submit Recovery Fund reports to the U.S. Treasury by August 31. If your county received Recovery Funds after July 15, 2021, you must submit your reports within 60 days of receiving funding. Have a question? NACo is here to help.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Your mandates for restaurants and bars is unconstitutional. Yes, there's a rise in cases. But the vaccines are proving more and more not to be as effective as everyone hoped (if they were, we'd be all the way open and maskless, and covid wouldn't be spreading to the vaccinated, too.) I am not against the vaccine, many of us aren't. I have a medical exemption, I am allergic to polyethylene glycol and polysorbate. I have gotten bells palsy twice, from flu vaccines containing it. (PeG).. we opened up restaurants and were able to sit and eat before there was a vaccine. But now that there is one that I cannot get, I am banned?? Not to mention those that simply don't want it? I know many people from my church, that because of YOU, think this could be the mark of the beast. How does that make you feel?? Knowing you, you will probably just ignorantly laugh it off.. but this is why people are NOT getting jabbed. Revelation 13:16 King James Version 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. read that again. You are scaring people AWAY from the vaccine. I'm all for it, accept when it is FORCED. My body my choice should pertain to more than just murdering a baby (which is literally someone else's body) .. yet you push so hard for it. Taking our jobs (I work Healthcare by the way... these mandates are bs.. I was a hero until there was a vaccine.. now I am a risk? What a JOKE!), taking our livelihood, not allowing our families to enjoy a MEAL outside of home (yet the kids can go to school..by the hundreds... 1-1 ) but we could a few months ago? What are you hoping to accomplish? If it's the jab, it won't work. People have gotten it who want it. If it is control, good luck, witch. WE WILL NOT COMPLY! good luck keeping up business in the small county of clallam and Jefferson, when there's nobody working because they're sitting on unemployment. And the Healthcare shortage we already had before the pandemic is going to be at CRITICAL level. We're already seeing it. Hope the mandates were worth it. Wake up, Brooke.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Dear Jefferson and Clallam County Boards of Health: We are writing to you with serious concerns regarding the implementation of the newest health order to require restaurants to verify that all guests who dine indoors are fully vaccinated. We request that the policy be delayed so our concerns over employee safety can be addressed. Our industry has been in constant conversation with the governor as well as local health officials throughout the pandemic. We are proud to be partners in helping stop the spread of COVID.We have supported worker vaccine access, vaccine pop-ups, o mask mandates, and created public service announcements to encourage masking to keep people safe p p p , from COVID. We understand and agree with the commitment to keep our communities safe, however we are extremely concerned that such an order put into place with less than 48 hours to educate, prepare, and implement can and will have adverse impacts, including putting our employees at risk. Below are some of the specific concerns and questions our Association has with the new public health order mandating vaccine verification for our guests: -The public health order was announced with no time for training or staffing, during the largest staff shortage our industry has faced. In the best of staffing situations, 48 hours is not enough time to educate and train staff on a completely new requirement and ensure compliance. -This vaccine mandate requires our employees to intercept guests before they enter our establishments in order to determine their vaccine status.This will leave an already stretched-thin team even more short staffed. - It includes no public education component, meaning our employees are charged with both educating the public and enforcing on behalf of the county.This will put them at risk of being targeted by angry customers who are hearing about the order for the first time. Our employees' safety and wellbeing is crucial and rather than addressing these concerns, this order puts them at greater risk. -It unreasonably targets our industry without data indicating that our industry is a major cause of the spread of COVID, while leaving out other places where people congregate.The data referenced in the order is a workplace outbreak report, which does not include data on restaurant guests whatsoever. Further, it does not indicate that the employees were exposed to COVID at their place of employment, but rather that two employees had COVID within a two-week period, regardless of where they were exposed to the virus. 1 We support the ability for individual businesses to make decisions on checking guest vaccine status based on what's best for their location and staffing. We ask that this policy be delayed for proper preparation for enforcement and a robust public facing education campaign. Thank you for your consideration of our concerns. Please let me know if I can help answer any questions.

The lawsuit by OneAmerica claims Yakima County's voting system disenfranchises Latino voters. The Yakima County Commission is divided into three districts and candidates are selected by voters only in their respective district in primary elections. But that changes in general elections, when all three commission seats become at-large and subject to countywide selection. i Learn More STATE NEWS More Washington Business Owners Couldn't Make Rent This Month The number of Washington State small business owners who said they couldn't make rent, or make rent on time, is higher this month than in July, according to the Alignable Research Center. That's in contrast to the nationwide trend, which saw a 5% improvement in the number of small businesses that were able to make rent, according to a new poll. It's the first time in six months there has been such an increase, the report states, although there were still 30% that couldn't pay their rent on time or in full. Learn More A.

Greg Brotherton We have had a "tenant" that has stayed in one of our cabins, "free" since about April 2000. When we asked about payment he claimed he needed the money for medical marijuana. None of the previous programs were directed at the landlord collecting rent and the tenant refused to undertake the program. We now have discussed the new program that is handled by the Peninsula Resolution group out of Port Angeles. I was directed to call after Aug.31 to see if the Jefferson County Commissioners and forgot today was not a working day for the group. I was told to call your office but no one there knew of this matter. Is this still before approval by the Board? We miss having our local "pub" and the people we met there ... and the music.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Commissioners: The exclusionary Public Health Order affecting restaurants and bars is fraught with complications. I fully expect it to be swiftly challenged in court. Notably, public sanitation surfaces as a conflict on the first day(Saturday)of the Order. Numerous dining and drinking establishments serve patrons both indoors and outdoors; but few of them have outdoor rest rooms.Therefore, patrons required to dine or drink outdoors in such establishments will certainly need to use the indoor facilities to relieve themselves,wash hands, etc. Will they be served and then prohibited from entering just to pee? In that case,would-be patrons should be informed before being seated that they will be unable to enter the building in order to relieve themselves.They should be informed that they must use a chemical hand purifier if needing to cleanse their hands before, during, or after dining.The restaurant or bar serving outdoors then must provide a sanitary station for outdoor diners—even if that means placing a porta-potty on the downtown sidewalk of that establishment. It's completely unacceptable to me that I may be questioned about my"sincerely held religious" beliefs before being exempted from certain requirements.Who in our community is an acceptable decider of"sincerity"?Would this be like the Draft Boards of 6o years ago deciding whether or not one is qualified for Conscientious Objection to serving in the Vietnam War? I personally faced such a Board at that time—composed completely of old, white men who themselves had served during WW2 or the Korean conflict. Completely unfit to judge others'"sincerely held" beliefs and principles. I urge you to rein in the authority of the Clallam/now-Jefferson Health Officer to make such fundamental and far- reaching decisions.The Order does contain considerable depth of detail—but I don't find anything about the above issues(and others)that clearly addresses how patrons and operators of restaurants and bars will be able to legally and intelligently address these issues on-the-spot. Litigation surely follows!

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Greetings to County Commissioners, Dr Berry, and Willie Bence, As expected KPTZ received many questions for the September 7th update over the past two weeks. Thank you for your time and consideration of each question as they reflect a wide range of concern from the community. Respectfully yours, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Berry: A number of the KPTZ listeners have requested if you, Dr Berry, would please speak more slowly when giving your update and answering the listener questions.Thank you! 1. What is really approved vs what is still EUA, and how we can clear what is actually happening on the ground, in our communities and what actual version is being distributed now. And why can they be used"interchangeably?" 2. Why 12-15 years olds are not approved for the newly approved Pfizer when the EUA version was? 3. "Since the beginning of February, 18.1 percent of new COVID-19 cases in Jefferson County have been among fully vaccinated residents, meaning 81 .9 percent of cases have been among unvaccinated residents, according to county data." PDN, Sept 2, 2021 . Is this number (18.1%) unexpectedly high? What are the circumstances surrounding these infections? Is it believed that there are almost always unmasked, unvaccinated individuals that the vaccinated person has come in contact with? Is it related to our (elderly) demographic? 4. We have friends who just got back from a European vacation, is it appropriate for them to quarantine? If they don't, should we avoid seeing them for a period of time? All are vaccinated, but some of the people they visited with might not be.... 5. With infections rising so rapidly in Jefferson County, what are we doing to address the possibility of running out of hospital beds? i 6. Of the recent Covid cases of fully vaccinated individuals, is there any data on which shot they had? 7. Some local "influencers" insist good diet, exercise —healthy people don't catch COVID. You only get sick if you make bad health choices. Please comment. 8. Earlier, updates were given in cases per day and how many isolations per day or per week. The information I am seeking is information that will let me know how safe it is to leave the house on any given day. I want to know the number of cases per day or per week. I want to know so that I can judge my personal risk rate. 9. If it is safe to be unmasked outdoors, why are the school requiring masks at outdoor events? 10. I have read at FDA that the Covid tests may be less accurate with the variants. Not only are the quick tests giving more false negatives but even the more sophisticated lab tests may also be giving more false negatives. Can you give us your insight into the impact of false negatives (people testing at home?) and the uptick in cases in our area. 11. Is is advisable to eat in a restaurant,where most people are unmasked, (because they are eating), if you are fully vaccinated? I would only consider a restaurant where they keep the doors open, and I would try to sit away from others. 12. Is it advisable to go to church,where we keep the doors open, and people are spaced out from one another and masked?My concern is that the speakers and singers are unmasked throughout most of the service. They are a long ways away from the rest of us?Is that sufficient? 13. Is it advisable to stay in hotels on the Peninsula?It is just myself and I would choose a hotel that is doing thorough cleaning process. 14. Is is advisable to fly right now?Even if fully vaccinated, and I would be wearing a mask, even though others may not be?(Is it mandatory to be masked to fly now?) 15. Is it mandatory to be vaccinated to fly or take public transportation in Seattle area? Or on the Peninsula? 16. Someone who had the virus (a health care provider),told me she was "immune" from the virus because she already had COVID (over 4 months ago,I think). Is that accurate? I know it has been mandated that all health care providers in WAshington now be vaccinated, but how will that be monitored? 17. I was told by someone that cloth masks are no longer considered sufficient with the Delta Virus. Is that accurate? How about using a regular simple medical mask plus a cloth mask? 18. I have friends who are afraid to meet outside with groups,but I thought we were safe, if fully vaccinated,to be outside with anyone. Is that accurate? 19. Please comment on the difficulties of getting travel testing. See below: A friend of mine was traveling to Canada and needed to have proof of a valid negative COVID-19 test 3days before crossing the border. She was tested at the Rite Aid in Sequim. The test came back negative 5 days later. She next tried at the Bellingham airport and got a negative test back in 15 hours. 20. Is monoclonal antibody treatment for verified Covid cases currently available at Jefferson Healthcare? 2 21. Do you agree with WHO on the problems with booster shots? It seems much more important to vaccinate more people first to stop mutations or this pandemic will go on forever. People with two life jackets need to give one to the person without any life jacket. 3 jeffbocc From: Kathleen Keenan <nobokate65@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, September 3, 2021 2:34 PM To: Lynn Sorensen Cc: KPTZ VTeam;Willie Bence; aunthank@co.clallam.wa.us; Greg Brotherton; Heidi Eisenhour;jeffbocc; Kate Dean Subject: Re: KPTZ questions for September 7, 2021 BOCC Update CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Dear Health Officer Berry, Please immediately withdraw your Sep. 2 public health order requiring indoor restaurant/bar patrons to produce vaccination papers, pending legal review of yesterday's repeal of a similar order by New York State's Department of Health. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/ny-health-commissioner-mask-mandate-federal-lawsuit-william- ouweleen/ New York State was forced to repeal its own order discriminating against those not providing vaccination papers, after being successfully challenged on multiple grounds including constitutionality, equal protection, prohibitions against mandating experimental treatments, and.not being justified by the science given the CDC's recent confirmation that CV vaccines do not prevent transmission of SARS CoV-2. https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/o5/health/us-coronavirus-thursday/index.html Your Sep. 2 order is vulnerable to legal challenge on the above grounds as well as several others: https://jeffersoncountypublichealth.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=778 https://jeffersoncountypublichealth.org/DocumentCenter/View/12542/2021-g2-Jefferson-Bar-and-Restaurant- Vaccination-HO-Order-Signed 1)The order is founded on perpetual self-claimed executive emergency powers,whose lawfulness is highly questionable and has been found to be unconstitutional in California and other states. https://californiaglobe.com/section-2/breaking-court-declares-gov-newsoms-abuse-of-power-unconstitutional/ 2)This chronic emergency condition is falsely claimed for a county that has experienced near-zero actual CV deaths in two years: https://www.porttownsendfreepress.com/2o21/06/o2/new-wrinkle-in-jefferson-countys-fourth-covid-death/ 3)The claimed enforcement authority to issue the order is inapplicably based on WAC 246-100-040,which gives narrow emergency detention powers for up to 3.0 days over infected persons posing serious and imminent risk, but only after a long series of provisions and recourses have been exhausted - none of which pertains to or authorizes this open-ended restaurant/bar regulation. https://app.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=246-too-o4o&pdf=true 4)The order requires businesses to act as enforcement agents demanding vaccination papers, despite Jefferson Healthcare itself emailing that"Health information such as whether a patient ... i received a Covid 19 vaccine is protected health information ... under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) patient privacy laws." 5)The Background supporting the order contains multiple demonstrably false statements, most glaringly that"COVID vaccines are safe"and "serious safety problems and long-term side effects are rare", despite the underreported VAERS database linking CV vaccines with an astounding 650,077 adverse events and 13,911 deaths, more in half a year than all other vaccines combined throughout VAERS'31-year history(which normally shows only 100-200 deaths per year from all vaccines). https://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?TABLE=ON&GROUP1=AGE&EVENTS=ON&VAX=COVID1g&DIED= Yes http://solmaker.com/public/VAERSdeaths21o5o1.PNG 6)The order's Background falsely states that"Given ... how COVID-ig spreads, including by asymptomatic and pre- symptomatic persons, masks are an essential defense to the spread of COVID-ig." To the contrary, "screening in nearly ten million residents of Wuhan, China" found "there was no evidence of transmission from asymptomatic positive persons ... samples from asymptomatic positive cases ... found no viable SARS-CoV-2 virus." Dr. Fauci definitively declared "in all the history of respiratory-borne viruses of any type, asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks." The only large randomized community- based trial "to assess whether recommending surgical mask use outside the home reduces wearers' risk for SARS-CoV- 2 infection"concluded "the difference observed was not statistically significant" between the masked and control groups. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-o2o-198o2-w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSHlpx6onr4&feature=emb_title https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/1o.7326/M2o-6817 7)The order's Background falsely states"COVID-sg vaccines are effective in reducing infection"despite widespread media reporting of CDC data "showing that vaccinated individuals infected with delta may be able to transmit the virus as easily as those who are unvaccinated"and have "measurable viral loads similar to those who are unvaccinated".

CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Commissioners. I am deeply distressed by your feeble"I am not ready"response to our current COVID situation.What are you waiting for? - COVID statistics locally, statewide and nationally are the highest ever since the pandemic began. - The Delta variant has increased threats from COVID and new variants are certainly likely. - Hospital occupancy levels are at critical levels and we are looking at triage situations. - Health care workers are maxed out and suffering physically and mentally. - Vaccines are proven to reduce the spread of the disease and are readily available. - Our children (who cannot yet get the vaccine)are increasingly getting sick. Need I go on?What are you waiting for?Contrary the Commissioner Dean's statement, we are not doing a good job. Other levels of government hold the well-being of our communities of such significance as to require mask mandates, access restrictions, and vaccinations. Our County Health Officer has advised you,yet you ignore the wisdom of protecting broad community health and well-being.To sacrifice community health to the possibility that current Employees will quit their jobs or that you will displease unions is, in my mind, irresponsible and betrays the public good you are sworn to protect and honor. I ask several straightforward actions from you now: - Require all County employees,who have any contact with members of the public,to be vaccinated in addition to wearing masks and to maintaining physical distance whenever possible. - Limit access to all County facilities to individuals who can prove they are vaccinated, regardless of how much time they spend in the facility. - Provide alternate ways for members of the public who choose not to be vaccinated before entering a County facility to receive services in an alternative format. Your"I am not ready"position is simply unacceptable.

Please note these are not "one size fits all".The CWPP's have some common elements but are unique to the community based on various factors.The mitigations and education are also variable within the affected boundaries to meet the fuel conditions, density of homes, demographics, etc. For example, in Jefferson County it is obvious the weather and vegetation is different in Port Ludlow compared to Port Townsend. The CWPP accounts for that.Think of the CWPP as a wildfire strategic plan https://www.mofd.org/home/showpublisheddocument/1504/637450072081670000 https://firesafemarin.org/wp-content/uploads/CWPP 2020 Final 1-4-2021 FSM published.pdf file:///C:/Users/bblack/Downloads/Wildfire%20Season%20Work%20Session%20Presentation final.pdf Keep in mind, each of these agencies have access to hundreds of firefighters within the first hour of a fire.Today we have a dozen or so. We also need to start thinking about mass evacuations for wildfire, which is very different than tsunami evacuations. A little more than a year ago I gave an interview on extreme wildfires.At that time we had concerns that wildfires are continuing to become more intense and unmanageable. When I gave the interview, California had just set a record, 10 of the top 20 most destructive fires had occurred within the previous five years. Today 15 of the top 20 most destructive wildfires has occurred within the past five years. Severe wildfires are happening farther and farther north, notice Medford. The Caldor Fire in Lake Tahoe is raising a lot of concern in the firefighting community. A cooler,timber rich community that wants to keep the forest untouched, right up against their homes. I don't mean to sound like the harbinger of doom, but I think the development of a CWPP would better prepare our communities, ensuring their resilience to wildfire. Be safe.

Kate -- I noticed in last week's Leader that the Commissioners refused to mandate vaccination for County Court House employees. Essentially the Commissioners are permitting the unvaccinated county employees to hold the county hostage by (perhaps implicitly) threatening to resign rather than take the vaccination. In my estimation, we are either with science or we are against science. If county employees choose to be anti-science, that is their choice. I don't feel, however, that I (as a taxpayer) need to encourage their behavior. Please require all county employees to be vaccinated. As Dr. Berry stated: We need to lead by example. Thanks.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. I am deeply concerned about the discriminatory policy that the health officer of our County recently mandated. These vaccines were not manufactured to stop transmission of the virus. It is clear that breakthrough cases are common especially with the recent spread of the Delta variant. Since vaccinated people can still get sick and transmit the virus it seems clear that this policy is NOT about protecting public health. Segregating our community? There is no sign of equity, diversity and inclusion in this policy. We need the Board of Commissioners and our health officer to provide leadership that will support the integrity of our community. To listen unbiased to all of our community members,to look at the evidence community members like Steven Schumacher and others have provided and facilitate conversations at the local level. Jennifer Calvert 1 jeffbocc From: graphiti <graphiti@olypen.com> Sent: Monday, September 6, 2021 10:06 PM To: jeffbocc Subject: 10/7/21 BOCC - re new vaccination directive CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Dear Commissioners: After nearly two years of politically-driven health directives dividing and destabilizing our community, the latest directive from our new health officer has drawn a line in the sand for many residents. As Covid vaccines fail spectacularly around the world, continuing to point to the unvaxxed as the problem not only amplifies the divisions that already exist, but will spell the death of even more of our local businesses that are hanging by a thread. There are many reasons why banning people who do not show proof of vaccination from dining in local eateries is a dangerous move, Not least, the rationale given is medically unsound. As one local restaurateur wrote to fellow business owners: -Why are we scared of the unvaccinated? Isn't the vaccine so we can protect ourselves from severe symptoms and death? So, if we are protected against the virus, then why do we need to segregate the unvaccinated from the vaccinated? It doesn't make any sense. -Why is natural immunity being ignored? It has finally been proven that it works better than the vaccine. -Look at Israel, the most vaccinated country in the world and is now having a huge outbreak. -You still carry and pass on the virus even if you've been vaccinated, so how is not allowing an unvaccinated person any different than allowing an infected-vaccinated person into a restaurant? According to that logic, shouldn't everyone (vaccinated and unvaccinated) get tested before going out to dinner? There isn't a shred of science to support this directive. What the science is actually showing is that the vaccinated are spreading Covid far more than the unvaxxed. The most recent study from Oxford University, "found vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the load of COVID-19 viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated." It is also widely recognized, as the local restaurant owner noted, that those who have recovered from Covid have longer lasting, more robust immunity than the vaxxed. With natural, superior immunity being ignored, it couldn't be more obvious that this is a political strategy to demonize all unvaccinated and get shots in every arm. "A broad natural immunity is far better than a vaccine immunity. We know that 17 years later those who have had SARS-Cov-1 still have T-cell memory and immunity. A broad natural immunity is a lifetime immunity."— Dr. Ryan Cole i "It's wonderful to be Covid-recovered. In many ways it's a gift. Natural immunity is robust, complete, durable. It's unbreakable... Probably the most important thing employers or governments or anybody would want to know is who are the naturally immune people and how are they critically positioned in their jobs, particularly businesses. It's far more important to know than who has taken the vaccine. It's actually who's got natural immunity. Vaccine immunity doesn't stop Covid-19, but natural immunity does."— Dr. Peter McCullough If this had anything to do with public health, you would be championing the Covid-recovered and naturally immune unvaxxed as our greatest hope for a way out of this. Pressuring those who have chosen to remain unvaccinated and already have superior immunity to the vaxxed by creating an apartheid state where they no longer have access to goods and/or services will not change their minds. You are simply fracturing this county further and destroying more struggling businesses in the process.

Considering history, there are many examples of atrocities, both long ago and recent, in other countries and our own, where a minority group in the community was demonized, called unclean, dangerous and disease- spreading. We look back on those moments in history with horror. I don't know if you can SEE it, but right now, we are demonizing a minority group in our community, calling them dirty, disease-spreading, "spreadnecks," instituting segregation, firing them from their jobs, closing their businesses, destroying their lives. Can we see where this is heading? Do we continue on this path towards mob violence and segregation, or is this a community that believes in diversity, inclusion, tolerance and peace?

NEWS it )" Washington State Redistricting Commission RELEASE For immediate release: September 7, 2021 Contact: Jamie Nixon, Communications Director 360-742-2854 Olympia — The Washington State Redistricting Commission's (WSRC) online mapping tool has been updated with the official 2020 Census data necessary for the people of Washington to draw maps and submit them for consideration by the Commissioners. The WSRC now invites all Washington's residents to log on and help Draw Your WA. "For those who wish to make third party map submissions, now is the time to visit redistricting.wa.gov, log in to the mapping tool, and draft your vision of what Washington's state legislative and congressional district maps should look like," said Commission Chair Sarah Augustine. The DrawYourWA mapping tool is available to all the public. The website includes detailed instructions explaining how to utilize the mapping features. The newly uploaded data set includes the 2020 Census information as adjusted by the institutional relocation statute. The adjusted data set assigns those residing in institutional settings operated by the state to their last known address for the purposes of congressional and legislative redistricting as required by law. To ensure Commissioners have time to consider your suggestions during their deliberations, you should submit your map no later than October 22. However, the tool 1 will remain live for several weeks after that date allowing the public to continue to work with and utilize the software. "We believe keeping the tool live makes for an excellent educational opportunity even after the Commission finishes its work," Augustine said. "We think social studies, government, civics, and graphic information system mapping instructors may get some value from using the tool in their classrooms." Once the Commissioners publish their draft state legislative district (September 21) and congressional district (September 28) map proposals, the public can access the proposed maps on the WSRC website and comment directly on specific areas of each proposed map. Here are important dates to remember going forward: • Tuesday, September 21 — Commissioners will each release their proposed state legislative district map. • Tuesday, September 28 — Commissioners will each release their proposed Congressional district map. • Tuesday, October 5 (7 p.m.) — Statewide Virtual Public Outreach Meeting to receive feedback on state legislative map proposals. • Saturday, October 9 (10 a.m.) - Statewide Virtual Public Outreach Meeting to receive feedback on congressional map proposals. • Friday, October 22 — Deadline to ensure full consideration of third-party map submissions by the Commission. • Monday, November 15 (11:59 p.m.) — Deadline for Commission to submit final maps to the Legislature. All map submissions, comments on proposed maps, and comments sent using the various methods available on our website are subject to public disclosure under the Washington State Public Records Act. Commissioners will see all comments made regardless of the method of comment or language used. You can find more information about the Washington State Redistricting Commission at our website. You can watch our meetings live and recorded on TVW or YouTube. Find us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Sign up here to receive press releases and media advisories.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Dear Board of County Commissioners, On Thursday your Health Officer dropped a bomb on restaurants by requiring them to obtain protected health information from their patrons,the day before a big holiday weekend and the day after the Leader reported "Commissioners not ready to impose access restrictions for the unvaccinated". Why the short notice? Did young Berry proceed on her own?Or if she was authorized,why did Commissioners tell the Leader this imminent action was "not on the table"? Who is responsible for this colossal frack-up? Berry's rushed action coincided with New York State being forced to repeal its own vaccination papers order, after being successfully challenged on multiple grounds including constitutionality, equal protection, prohibitions against mandating experimental treatments, and not being justified by the science given the CDC's recent confirmation that Corona vaccines do not prevent transmission. Additional grounds for challenge include abuse of emergency powers, inapplicable enforcement authorization, violation of HIPAA protected health information privacy laws, and multiple demonstrably false background statements supporting the order. All these grounds are detailed and sourced in my legal challenge that you have already received. Berry had already been provided with information contradicting several of her false statements by commentators to the Board of Health on August 19, but at that time Berry cavalierly dismissed this input saying "That was just a slurry of outright falsehoods, which is dangerous", without providing any specifics to justify her slanderous aspersions. Instead of taking seriously the facts provided to her, she negligently perpetuated known misinformation to justify her September 2 order. Most absurd is Berry's statement that"serious safety problems and long-term side effects are rare", proven false by the underreported VAERS database linking Corona vaccines with an astounding 650,077 adverse events and 13,911 deaths, more in half a year than all other vaccines combined throughout VAERS'31-year history(which normally shows only 100-200 deaths per year from all vaccines). The Swine Flu vaccine was taken off the market in disgrace after 25 deaths, so Corona vaccines should have been likewise withdrawn back in January after their first 186 deaths. Even if some of their 13,911 deaths occurring days after vaccination were coincidental, so too were some of the much lower death counts in all previous years. The question remains:Why are Corona vaccine death reports at least 30o times higher than any other vaccine in history? Until this question is answered, how in the world can you even consider contravening the Nuremberg Code by coercing unwilling individuals-and children! - into having their bodies violated with a potentially deadly injection? 1 A week ago the Leader's regular columnist scapegoated questioners, calling for them to be interned and deprived of their livelihoods. Now your Health Officer follows up on his hate speech by illegally ordering people to produce papers before being allowed to eat in restaurants. Please direct your Health Officer to immediately withdraw her problematic order and never try anything like this again.

During that time Michelle Sandoval asked me if I would consider running for County Commissioner. I told her that it appealed to my vanity but that I'd rather not be the target. I empathize with you. I'm glad it's not me in your place. But know this: you are sitting in your chairs only after winning a popularity contest. You are not there because you have proven your ability to govern. Thursday's notice to restaurant owners from the Jefferson County Health Department proves it. This abrupt, capricious and ill-advised directive hit right to the heart of our tourist economy, injuring not only the owners but the lowest income earners in our community. Was this really necessary at this moment? Your incomes are secure. You don't have to worry about where your next meal comes from, or where you will find the money for rent. This comes just as all the Federally supported unemployment benefits end. Heidi was the co-owner of a restaurant for a brief time; have you no memory of how difficult that was? At least you showed some smidgen of wisdom when understanding that requiring the jab for your employees may not be in the best interest of the County. Beware of the decisions you make, especially when so ill advised; they will amplify the population's disdain for your actions. Ignore them at your peril.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. To Greg, I think that for the most part people are complying with the policy, however I did observe people in shared space not wearing the mask. One of them was in an office just to the left of the entrance to the building talking to someone and there were 3 other people wearing their masks, Another came out of the double doors at the further end of that hall and walked toward the restroom. I also observed that the third floor behind the glass door area are not wearing them. I can only assume that these are not "private" work areas as Kate has pointed out, especially in the hallways. Maybe it is time for the conversation to evolve towards mandatory vaccination? Hello, I am responding to your question about masking. Since you did not include any information, I cannot speak to your specific allegation or concerns. I will point out that the Health Officer's masking order allows for office workers in private work spaces to be unmasked.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. To the Board of County Commissioners and the Jefferson County Auditor I have been a close observer of our well-run county election services as well as a participant in partisan politics in Jefferson County for over a decade. This year, I've taken a great interest in the work of the Washington State Redistricting Commission and its work in preparing to create new Congressional and Legislative districts. I'm also very interested in the processes of our county in developing new district and precinct maps. Unlike some other counties, our county has decided not to provide a channel for the public to participate or provide input about within-county redistricting other than public comment at one public meeting and two public hearings. I had hoped for a more collaborative process; that said, Auditor's staff have, as always, courteously and helpfully answered questions. I would be happy to discuss any of my concerns with any of you and can be reached at 360-385-5147. We are going to be living and working with these maps for a full ten years, and I believe that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I am providing my input for three purposes: 1. Promoting efficiency in the mapping work and efficiency in administering elections 2. Encouraging maps that improve the conditions for the democratic operation of political parties within the county(details below). 3. Improving voters' awareness of which commissioner district they live in. None of my interest has to do with favoring or discriminating against any political party or group. My interests are small-d democratic. You will see that a number of my suggestions pertain to purpose 2, above. I hope you will give due consideration to the importance of precinct maps as they affect democracy within our political parties,whose organization is not just an internal matter, but is a matter of state law. My interest is also to stave off last-minute controversy when the deadline for approving the maps arrives. By taking these concerns into account now, the process of precinct balancing in 2022 could be made much simpler. My suggestions follow: Commissioner districts should meet the same criteria as Legislative and Congressional districts: • Encompass, as nearly as can be done (or is "practicable"), equal numbers of people. i • Comply with the Federal Voting Rights Act to ensure that minorities have an equal opportunity to elect representatives of their choice. • Coincide with the boundaries of local political subdivisions and areas recognized as communities of interest, trying to the extent possible to minimize the number of counties and municipalities divided into more than one district. • Be convenient, contiguous, and compact with an understanding that a ferry, highway, bridge or tunnel could aid in ensuring contiguity and some artificial barriers and geographical boundaries could create obstacles to contiguity. • Provide fair and effective representation, encourage electoral competition, and do not purposely favor or discriminate against any political party or group. The political subdivisions in our county now include internal director districts in Port Townsend School District and East Jefferson Fire & Rescue. Those entities are not required to redraw their internal maps until 2022, but I hope they can be drawn this year. It would be a shame if new maps drawn in 2022 instead of this year require some of our newly-balanced precincts to be split. Precincts: To avoid the need to split precincts, thereby simplifying the administration of elections, precincts should • Not cross commissioner district boundaries • Not cross city boundaries • If possible, recognize UGA boundaries and Phase 1 sewer district boundaries • If possible, recognize the boundaries of homeowners' associations. • Not cross fire district boundaries, including internal commissioner districts • Not cross school district boundaries, including internal director districts • When feasible, not cross other junior taxing district boundaries (e.g., cemetery districts) To assist in the administration of major political parties,whose organization is regulated by RWC 29A.80, precincts should: • Be as equal in population as possible with the goal of equal representation of residents • Not be significantly more numerous than they currently are (39) • Be as close as possible to equal in number in each commissioner district • Be numbered in a fashion that clearly indicates which commissioner district the precinct lies in, to improve residents' identification with their districts, which are not divulged on voter registration cards or at VoteWa.gov • Take account of physical geography, so that precincts are as easy for Precinct Committee Officers to traverse as possible 2 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Tuesday, September 7, 2021 3:46 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Emailing: Minutes_Draft_081021_v3.docx Attachments: Minutes Draft 081021 v3.docx From: Judy Surber Sent:Tuesday, September 7, 2021 3:45:43 PM (UTC-o8:oo) Pacific Time(US & Canada) To: (kevinsz®ptpc.com); (trubert®jeffersontransit.com); Cara Loriz; Cindy Jayne (cindyjgn®yahoo.com); David Seabrook(davidseabrook®pacifier.com); David Wilkinson; Diane McDade; Eric Toews(eric®portofpt.com); Greg Brotherton; Haylie Clement; Jeff Randall (jrandall®jeffpud.org); Joanna Sanders; Julie Shannon; Kate Chadwick (kate_cecys®yahoo.com.au); Kate Dean; Laura Tucker; Miranda Nash (ngauthier®jeffersontransit.com); O'Higgins, Chris; Pamela Adams; Shelley Jaye (shelleyjaye®gmail.com) Cc:Anika Avelino(aavelino88®gmail.com); Cameron Rowland (camel.rowland®gmail.com); Craig Durgan (durgan®olympus.net); Elaine Bailey; Geoff Hughes; Harry Doyle (harry®doyleconsult.com); John Ford (diagnosticio®netscape.net); Larry Carter(Iwc®cablespeed.com); Lyn Keenan(Ikeenan®geoengineers.com); Matt I�I Stewart; mhuxtable®olympus.net; Richard Doherty; Stanley Willard (StanWillard®cablespeed.com); Steve King; Suzy White(SWHITE®jgh.org);Tami Pokorny; Wendy Clark Subject: Emailing: Minutes_Draft_o8iozi_v3.docx CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization.

Dear Kate, Heidi, and Greg-- As an active citizen of Jefferson County who cares deeply about the people and the land, I wholeheartedly support Dr. Berry. I wholeheartedly support the recent ruling limiting indoor dining to vaccinated persons. Please know that many more citizens support Dr. Berry than show up at public meetings. We have your back...

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. All, I want to take a moment to recognize the hard work of our Public Health Physician, Dr. Allison Berry. She took over in the worst of times and has done an excellent job. We are so lucky to have her now a part of the Jefferson County Public Health and watching out for us all. In addition, I am totally in favor of the new mandate by Governor Inslee. It is at least an attempt to stop this crazy and killing virus!

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Dear Commissioners, I am in complete support of the vaccine mandate our Dr. Berry has implemented for restaurants and bars. Since those are the primary indoor spaces where people are unmasked due to eating and drinking, it makes sense to have the mandate apply to those places. Despite the protestation of folks against the mandate, checking for proof of vaccination is no more difficult than checking ID's at the door to check for age compliance. Public health is NOT political! Dr. Berry makes recommendations and decisions based on the science of public health, not political persuasion. If either you, as commissioners, or her bend to public sentiment of being anti-vaccine mandate and reverse course, then I would venture to say you would lose the faith of most of your constituents. I know that most of us would be more comfortable going out to eat or drink knowing we are safer in those spaces because of a vaccine mandate. The minority, who are against the mandate is much smaller, but they are louder. Do not bend!

The policy will help keep those businesses up and running. There are more vaccinated people in Jefferson County than unvaccinated and the unvaccinated can avail themselves of take-out.

Dear commissioners, I fully support Dr. Berry's mandate for bars and restaurants to require proof of vaccination to enter and dine. Do not let a vocal minority dictate what is best for our county. Most residents are in favor of the mandate.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. I am writing to express my deepest appreciation for the courageous public health mandate recently issued by Dr. Berry. This action is clearly based on scientific evidence, with solid medical reasoning. I listened to the public comments and the public health report at your meeting yesterday. The burden under which our local health care system is laboring is extremely alarming. I am a healthcare professional with more than 30 years of inpatient and outpatient clinical experience, so the description of the current conditions in our hospital are particularly chilling to me. I understand completely what it looks, sounds, smells, and feels like for the staff attempting to give care under those types of conditions and for the patients whose lives and future health are depending on that care. I thought Willie Bence summed it up nicely when he commented on the people who were valuing so highly their experience of eating a cheeseburger indoors while giving other people a deadly disease. The selfishness and shortsightedness is staggering. I run a small business here in Jefferson County, offering our guesthouse on Airbnb when it is not needed by family members. I have communicated this new mandate to the 3 sets of guests who are booked in the next couple of months and every one of them has written back to me saying how pleased they are that our county is taking these proactive steps to keep the community safe. From my perspective, this mandate will be good for business, not damaging as many seem to fear. The reports that Dr. Berry has been subjected to threats of violence are extremely disturbing. I hope our county will help to reimburse her for any expenses she incurs in keeping herself and her family safe. I also hope that we can also make it clear, through the law enforcement and justice systems, that threats of violence and intimidation will not be tolerated in our county. Thank you for your service during these very difficult times. I appreciate your leadership. I hope you will share with Dr. Berry my deepest respect and support.
