Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. County Commissioners and Councilmembers, & Mayors of WSF-served communities, Good afternoon. As we continue to experience significant crewing constraints, our passengers have continually expressed the need for a reliable schedule. Understanding those constraints will continue into the foreseeable future, as explained in the attached press release going out this afternoon, on Saturday, October 16, we will be shifting to a temporary reduced sailing schedule across the system. We know this service level will be challenging for our customers, but it's a level we're confident we can maintain, allowing us to add service as additional crewing is available, and for passengers to plan accordingly. WSF will continue to evaluate and strive to return additional boats back into service on a daily basis as crewing conditions change, accessing the return to the regular fall schedule on a weekly basis. The schedule staring Saturday will be: ROUTE FALL(Typical) Winter(Typical) FALL(Current) Fall 2021 Alternate Service Plan 2 vessels, late- Seattle/Bainbridge 2 vessels 2 vessels night sailings 1 vessel suspended _ 1 vessel, late- Seattle/Bremerton 2 vessels 2 vessels night sailings 1 vessel suspended 3 vessels on 3 vessels on weekdays, 3 on 3 vessels on weekdays, 3 on Fauntleroy/Vashon weekends with weekdays, 2 on Saturdays with 2 vessels every /Southworth #3 boat at 8 day #3 boat at 8 weekends hrs/day hrs/day, 2 on Sundays, late- 1 night sailings suspended Point 1 vessel 1 vessel 1 vessel 1 vessel Defiance/Tahlequah 2 vessels, late- 1 vessel, late- Mukilteo/Clinton 2 vessels 2 vessels night sailings night sailings suspended suspended 2 vessels, late- Edmonds/Kingston 2 vessels 2 vessels night sailings 1 vessel suspended 2 vessels in "shoulder" Port season (ends 1 vessel 1 vessel 1 vessel Townsend/Coupeville early October); 1 for remainder of fa l l 3 vessels, interisland vessel 4 vessels, 3 vessels, no 4 vessels, does some including 1 interisland including 1 mainland service interisland service on Anacortes/SJI/Sidney vessel and 1 weekends, no interisland; no in place of sailing to Sidney, sailings to sailings to dedicated BC Sidney Sidney, BC interisland boat, no sailings to Sidney, BC These reductions result in the following reduction in service percentages: Change in Daily Sailings Daily Weekly Route Decrease Change PT-COUP 10-14 -35% MUK-CL 30-34 -46% ED-KING 20-26 -46% SEA-BI 19-22 -47% SEA-BR 16 -53% PD-TAHL 0 0% FVS 29-33 -28% ANA-SJ 8-9 -17% Interisland (3) 0% Sidney 4 -100% All Routes 138-155 -32% As usual during service disruptions, new reservations will be suspended on Anacortes/San Juan Islands routes, with those already holding reservations prioritized for loading on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition to the press release, we will be notifying the public through passenger alerts and social media. We'd appreciate your help in sharing this information as well. Please let Rachel Dean, WSF's Legislative Analyst, or me know if you have questions. 2 Best, John John B. Vezina Government Relations Director Washington State Ferries Cell - 206.473.9945 Pronouns: He/Him/His 3 Washington State Department of Transportation — NEWS Ferries Division —2901 Third Ave., Suite 500—Seattle, WA 98121-3024—206-515-3400 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Oct. 13, 2021 Contact: Ian Sterling, communications, 206-714-1556 WSF media hotline, 206-402-8070 State ferry temporary schedule changes starting Saturday, Oct. 16 Service on most routes to be reduced due to severe staff shortages SEATTLE—Beginning Saturday, Oct. 16, Washington State Ferries will temporarily operate reduced schedules on most routes to provide more predictable and reliable travel. The change comes as the system is exercising maximum effort to crew its sailings in the face of a global shortage of mariners that has been exacerbated by the pandemic. The severe staff shortages are also due to many other variables including an aging workforce, COVID-19 cases and quarantines. Given what has happened to the response to calls to fill positions on recent weekends, WSF feels there is too much uncertainty to continue the schedule at this moment. WSF will continue to evaluate and strive to return additional boats back into service on a daily basis. Ferry customers are encouraged to monitor the agency website, the WSDOT app and social media channels for updates. Route-by-route schedule changes Starting Saturday, Oct. 16, the following sailing schedules will be in operation: • Seattle/Bainbridge, Edmonds/Kingston and Mukilteo/Clinton: One-boat service instead of two • Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth: Two-boat schedule instead of three • Anacortes/San Juan Islands: Three-boat schedule instead of four with temporary suspension of vehicle reservations • Seattle/Bremerton: Continued reduced one-boat service instead of two • Point Defiance/Tahlequah: Continued one-boat service as normal • Port Townsend/Coupeville: Continued one-boat service with vehicle reservations as normal for this time of year "Throughout the pandemic, we've worked hard to maintain reliable service, completing the vast majority of sailings," said Patty Rubstello, head of WSF. "However, to better reflect the service we can currently provide and to minimize last-minute cancelations due to a lack of crew, we made this difficult decision to adjust our schedules." Recruiting new employees Although COVID-19 has not allowed WSF to hire or train new recruits at the same rate as prior to the pandemic, more than 150 new crewmembers have been brought on this year. Prior to COVID-19, WSF hired new crewmembers once a year leading into the busy season. The system is now continuously recruiting new employees, but is struggling to find qualified mariners. WSF is also expanding its recruitment efforts with maritime academies across the country. 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.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Greetings County Commissioners, Dr. Alison Berry, and Willie Bence, The KPTZ listeners questions for Monday, October 18, 2021 are specifically for Dr Berry this week.Sorry, Willie. Thank you all for providing this forum. Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Berry: 1. Why is there not a mandate for public school students who are age eligible for vaccination,to attend school? 2. In our 55+co-housing community of 40 individuals,weekly shared dinners in our Common House were at the heart of our lives together. We discontinued those as the pandemic began. This past June,we resumed them -only to discontinue them again in August as the Delta Variant& break-through case numbers caused concern. Every member of our community is fully vaccinated & many have received boosters.We have not had a single case of COVID. We'd like to resume a weekly shared dinner in the Common House beginning November 1st&would value Dr. Berry's opinion about the safety of that. Our Common House kitchen &dining room does allow for distancing&opened windows,also doors opening to the outside. 3. Per the CDC website "Studies so far show that vaccinated people are 8 times less likely to be infected", but no numbers are provided. Does it go from 8 in a million down to 1 in a million?Or 8 in 1,000 down to 1 in 1,000? What are the actual numbers? 4. Friends will be visiting from out of state (Montana)for 4 days.They are camping at Fort Worden, but we do want to invite them into our home.They are vaccinated but their grade-school age son is not. 1 What is you recommendation re.the need to wear masks while they are in our home?We do feel that asking that only the child be the one wearing a mask would be unfair to him. 5.Are vaccinated people who get break through infection getting "long covid" ? Are mild or unsymptomatic covid infections likely to produce "long covid" ? 6. We know that booster vaccinations for Covid 19 increase antibodies, but we do not know what antibody level prevents infection and immunity is influenced by many factors. If vaccine effectiveness wanes over time, have we seen a clear indicator of that in our community? Are breakthrough infections rising? Are they occurring more in older people?Are the two mRNA vaccines performing similarly? I am not opposed to getting a booster,just wondering if the science supports it when so many are still unvaccinated. I am 64. Thank you for all that you do. 7. In small clinics or dental practices,who is in charge of granting vaccine exemptions? For example, if a dentist happens to be an anti-vaxxer, could he or she simply grant exemptions to all staff who ask for it.? Is there any third party review or control over this process? 2 jeffbocc From: Washington State Department of Transportation <wsdot@service.govdelivery.com> Sent: Friday, October 15, 2021 4:15 PM To: jeffbocc Subject: Sharing on behalf of Olympic National Park: Traffic delays on Highway 101 at Lake Crescent October 26 through late November for hazard tree removal ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

Scroll down to read the answers Can the city impose a residency requirement for city managers or city administrators? RCW 35.21.200 authorizes cities to establish via ordinance residency requirements for appointed officials and employees,with some limitations: • Any city or town may by ordinance of its legislative authority determine whether there shall be any residential qualifications for any or all of its appointive officials or for preference in employment of its employees, but residence of an employee outside the limits of such city or town shall not be grounds for discharge of any regularly appointed civil service employee otherwise qualified: PROVIDED,That this section shall not authorize a city or town to change any residential qualifications prescribed in any city charter for any appointive official or employee: PROVIDED, FURTHER,That all employees appointed prior to the enactment of any ordinance establishing such residence qualifications as provided herein or who shall have been appointed or employed by such cities or towns having waived such residential requirements shall not be discharged by reason of such appointive officials or employees having established their residence outside the limits of such city or town: PROVIDED, FURTHER,That this section shall not authorize a city or town to change the residential requirements with respect to employees of private public utilities acquired by public utility districts or by the city or town. In addition to the limitations in the statute,the city cannot set a durational residency requirement. In other words,the city can require that the city administrator live within the city(or within a certain area)but cannot require that they have been a resident for a certain amount of time before qualifying for employment. In Eggert v. Seattle, 81 Wn.2d 840(1973), our state supreme court held that the residence preference there(a 1-year durational residence requirement) restricted applicants'fundamental constitutional right to travel. Other states have justified a"point in time"residency requirement declaring that"[ill it is important to develop relations between city employees and citizens,then the employee may be required to live within the geographical confines of the city while that employee holds municipal employment." Carofano v. Bridgeport, 196 Conn.623(1985). Here are examples of two city codes that include residency requirements adopted pursuant to RCW 35.21.200: • Westport Municipal Code, Section 2.72.010 • Castle Rock Municipal Code, Chapter 2.32 You'll want to review any proposed ordinance with your city attorney. Looking for code provisions and guidance regarding local siting of rehab/substance abuse facilities. 2 Here are three code provisions that address the location and conditions to be applied to substance abuse centers (and other similar uses): • Ferndale Municipal Code Section 18.92.050—Substance abuse treatment facilities are permitted in the RO (residential office)and GB (general business)zones subject to issuance of a conditional use permit.These facilities shall not be located within 350 feet of community centers, public park and recreation facilities, public and private schools, playgrounds, sports fields, and youth camps. • Skagit County Municipal Code Section 14.16.600—Limits In-patient substance abuse, mental health, or secure community transition facilities to rural reserve and rural freeway services districts • Tumwater Municipal Code Section 18.56.140(A)—Permits conditional use of substance abuse facilities within multifamily zones as well as other specific zones (none of which include single family zones);tied to the city's EPF regulatory process. It is also worth considering the adoption of essential public facilities(EPF) provisions within a local zoning code.WAC 365-196-550(3)(b)states that"A local jurisdiction may not include criteria in its land use approval process which would allow the essential public facility to be denied, but may impose reasonable permitting requirements and require mitigation of the essential public facility's adverse effects.[Emphasis added]Here are two good examples of EPF regulations: • SeaTac Municipal Code Section 15.115.040—Provides for a detailed review process when an EPF is determined to have major impacts on the city. • Sequim Municipal Code, Ch. 18.56—Establishes a clear process and criteria. 1 I What is the process for lifting a local ban on marijuana retail establishments? The process will depend on how the ban was put into place. If it is part of the zoning or development code,then the city or another party will need to initiate the code amendment process outlined in the local code. Here are some examples of cities that have lifted bans on marijuana- related businesses: • Fife Ordinance No. 1957—In 2017, Fife lifted its marijuana ban on production, processing and retail sales • Spokane Valley Ordinance No. 19-011 —In 2019, Spokane Valley amended its municipal code to allow licensed marijuana transporters • University Place Ordinance 685—In 2017, University Place amended its code to make changes if the Council chooses to allow such uses in the future • Yakima City Council Meeting Packet-May 17, 2016—In 2016, Yakima passed a Resolution declaring intent to lift its ban on recreational and medical marijuana production, processing, and directing Planning Commission to develop land use regulations pertaining to locations and regulation of such uses(pg. 100) Can the city council adopt a medical freedom ordinance contrary to the state vaccine and mask orders? The city has no authority to override the state's requirements for vaccinations for certain employees or for indoor mask requirements. At the moment,the state requirements that the city must follow are: 1) Under Governor Inslee's Proclamation 12-14.1,vaccinations are required for the following employees: 3 • Employees who work in youth parks and recreation programs that provide childcare and in- person basic support for children and youth (it does not apply to employees who work in parks and recreation programs that provide primarily enrichment activities, like sports and arts) • EMS personnel • Firefighters licensed by the state as an EMT or paramedic, or whenever performing medical functions in their official course of duty • County and municipal jail staff who are licensed healthcare providers or work in the medical treatment area Notably,the state vaccination employee mandate does not apply to police officers.There are also medical and religious exemptions that can be secured. See this blog post for more information: Vaccine Mandates:Accommodating Disability and Religious Belief Exemptions. 2) Masks must be worn indoors, even by those vaccinated.There are limited exceptions to this,which we explore in our blog Face Coverings and Vaccine Requirements:Where Things Stand as of August 23, 2021. At this time,there is no state or federal law requirement that all city employees be vaccinated. Many cities are adopting vaccination requirements for all employees,which is within the city's authority. If the city does not adopt a vaccine requirement,then only those employees subject to the state proclamation need to be vaccinated. What steps are required for the city to adopt/implement the Home Fund/Housing and Related Services sales tax pursuant to RCW 82.14.530? There are two methods cities may use to impose the tax authorized by RCW 82.14.530.The first is by submitting an authorizing proposition (by passing a ballot measure resolution)that goes before the voters at the next general election (see subsection (1)(b)(i)(A)).The second method dispenses with the need to put the measure before the voters and gives the legislative body the authority to decide whether to impose the tax(see subsection (1)(b)(i)(B)).The option to impose the tax without voter approval was added in 2020. See our description of this tax—how it's implemented and how it may be used--as well as several examples of ordinances and resolutions on the Housing&Related Services Sales Tax section of our Affordable Housing Funding Sources topic page.The Issaquah and Spokane ordinances are examples where the council approved the tax without putting the question before the voters. So, a resolution would be used to put the measure before the voters,followed by adoption of an ordinance implementing the tax if adopted.And only an ordinance implementing the tax would be needed if the city opted not to put the question before the voters.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. pt ,IP Wild Fish Conservancy i, ti learn more\\donate NOAA Fisheries, Vancouver Aquarium 1 Major Legal Action Challenges Washington's False Promise & Artificial "Fix" to Southern Resident Killer Whale and Salmon Recovery Last week, we reached out to share a major legal victory and milestone in our ongoing lawsuit addressing the overharvest of the Southern Residents' primary prey in Southeast Alaska, a ruling with the potential to lead to precedent-setting benefits for the Southern Resident killer whales and wild Chinook. This week we took a separate but related significant legal action to ensure that management decisions that affect threatened and endangered salmon and orcas are scientifically supported and meet the high standards of the environmental laws in place to prevent the extinction of these iconic species. Wild Fish Conservancy, along with our friends at The Conservation Angler filed suit against the Department of Washington Fish and Wildlife over their repeated refusal to follow state environmental laws when setting statewide hatchery policy, including when it recently embarked upon a massive expansion in the production of hatchery salmon that could cause irreparable damage to fragile wild fish populations and to endangered Southern Resident killer whales. At issue is the Department's decision to sidestep the requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) when rewriting significant statewide policy that directs how hatcheries must be managed. SEPA is Washington's bedrock environmental law in place as a critical backstop to ensure all state policies or projects with potential to pose significant environmental impacts receive comprehensive environmental scrutiny before moving forward. Wild Fish Conservancy's Director Kurt Beardslee explains: "No doubt, many people supported the state's 'Orca Prey Initiative' with the best of intentions, including the massive increases in hatchery production purportedly intended to feed the starving population of Southern Resident killer whales. This new policy was presented to the public as scientifically-credible and rigorously vetted. The problem is that scientists, including the Department's own, know that producing more hatchery fish is not going to solve the problem, and will likely make this crisis worse." 2 This week's lawsuit comes after nearly three years of intensive efforts by Wild Fish Conservancy and The Conservation Angler staff, including countless hours of public testimony and written comments urging the state to bring their hatchery policies into compliance with Washington's environmental laws by conducting the required environmental review. Audio of Wild Fish Conservancy's Director of Science Jamie Glasgow testifying in August 2020 a �� to the Fish and Wildlife Commission, The Timeline: Dismantling Science-based Hatchery Reform In 2009, faced with widespread public concern and developing science around the threats hatcheries pose to wild salmon populations, Washington state prudently took action to implement hatchery reform, including adopting a brand new Hatchery and Fishery Reform Policy. Central to the reform and this new policy was a reliance on the principles, standards, and recommendations of an independent scientific review panel established by Congress to review salmon and steelhead hatchery practices in the Pacific Northwest and make recommendations in accordance with the latest science on how to reduce hatchery impacts on wild fish populations. Over the next decade, the hatchery reform policy drew increasing fire, particularly from powerful commercial and recreational fishing interests who viewed the policy's science-based thresholds as a roadblock to increasing hatchery production. However, the Department later revealed in a 2020 report that at most of the state's hatchery facilities, the reform policy guidelines were never fully implemented or enforced. Washington state's hatchery program is the largest in the world. The state's largest hatchery production is of Chinook salmon, with roughly 3.7 billion hatchery Chinook being released into 3 Pu et Sound alone since 1950.WDFW current) operates about 87 hatcheries, on which it g Y P spends an astonishing 25% of its entire budget year after year. The Department's 2018 decision to abandon science based hatchery reform without public input or SEPA review was highly controversial and widely criticized, including in a letter to Governor Inslee signed by 77 prominent fisheries and orca scientists urging the Governor to step in to ensure the reinstatement of the science based policy recommendations, and another letter to the legislature from former Department heads that had pioneered hatchery reform in the early 2000's. ra ''',77 � � 7ii.P.4*..

However, the Department did not support its hatchery expansion plan with any evidence that the Southern Resident killer whales would actually eat or be sustained by hatchery salmon. As explained in our lawsuit, scientific research investigating the whale's diet find the Southern Resident orcas subsist primarily upon older and larger Chinook (ages 4 to 6) that are found almost exclusively in the native Chinook populations that hatcheries have failed to produce, protect, or restore. In comparison, majority of adult hatchery-origin Chinook are predominately ages 3 and younger. Most concerning, the Department once again refused to engage in the SEPA process despite the immense scale of the proposed increases. The Department was unwilling to prepare an environmental impact statement that would have assessed any and all potential adverse impacts of the proposed hatchery expansion on both threatened wild salmon and steelhead populations and on the starving Southern Resident killer whales. Hatcheries have long been recognized as one of the four primary threats to wild fish populations, along with harvest, hydroelectric dams, and habitat degradation. z �C �3r. may. z� im'' .2,n �' �-,• '., , ' yea w ` ' riJ t ' xd 5 A diseased juvenile Chinook hatchery fish. Risks associated with the amplification and spread of harmful pathogens is just one example of the risk factors WDFW failed to consider by refusing to conduct SEPA review. Photo:Conrad Gowell In 2020, at the same time the Department was actively implementing massive hatchery increases without environmental scrutiny, the Department released a report titled 'A review of hatchery reform science in Washington State'that found "hatcheries have potential for large magnitude ecological impacts on natural population that are not well understood, not typically evaluated and not measured" and that"...a focus on efficiency and maximizing abundance prevents widespread implementation of risk reduction measures" at Washington state-run hatcheries. What's more, the report recommended that prior to increasing hatchery programs, more environmental review is necessary to evaluate cumulative hatchery effects and to ensure increases won't harm wild fish recovery, warning large-scale hatchery production "can magnify the political pressure to take advantage of abundant hatchery runs at the expense of natural populations" and concluding that increasing program size can raise both "ecological and genetic risks".The authors warn that"a rigorous justification for program size is essential for implementing scientifically defensible hatchery programs." In short, SEPA is a fundamental process to determine and address proposed actions and policies with probable significant adverse environmental impacts. The Fish and Wildlife Department repeatedly ignored this legal requirement and violated SEPA when it implemented policies that fundamentally changed its hatchery operations and commenced massive increases in hatchery production. With this lawsuit, we ask the Court to require that the Department perform comprehensive SEPA review through a thorough environmental impact statement to identify all potential environmental impacts associated with the massive hatchery increases and changes to hatchery policy to determine how and if they can be mitigated and comprehensively addressed. We also ask the court to invalidate and halt numerous actions being taken by the Department at several hatcheries under this new policy until those actions and the policy itself have undergone the required review to comply with SEPA. 6 For years, the Fish and Wildlife Department has abused its powers and taken liberties with state and federal environmental regulations that apply to hatcheries, willfully ignoring legal requirements like SEPA that are in place to prevent hatcheries from harming sensitive species and the environments that sustain them. Our state agencies should lead by example, not violate the very laws they are charged with upholding. Much like addressing climate change or COVID-19, it is imperative that solutions to the crisis facing Southern Resident killer whales and our most fragile wild salmon are driven first and foremost by science, not politics. Along with our challenge of the overharvest of the Southern Residents' primary prey in Southeast Alaska, we hope the results of this week's legal action will complement and better inform our region's ongoing efforts to recovery these iconic and beloved species.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. To:Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) From: Craig Durgan Re: Emergency Moratorium 06 1011 21 Hello, October 17, 2021 I am making public comment on Emergency Moratorium 06 1011 21. I understand that it is a requirement to have a public hearing and accept public comment on this Emergency Moratorium within 60 days of implementation which was October 11, 2021. To ensure I get the opportunity to make public comment I am sending you my public comment early as no date has been set as yet on a public hearing. Please include this email in the public comment for the hearing on the above Emergency Moratorium. I would like to note the following that is on page 3-2 of the current implemented Comprehensive Plan: 3.1 PURPOSE The purpose of the Housing Element is to ensure the vitality and character of residential neighborhoods by assessing existing and future needs for housing in Jefferson County, so that housing is available for all economic segments of the community now and in the future. Existing residential patterns, demographic trends and projected population growth typically provide the basis for this assessment. We currently have a shortage of all housing. We are also operating under Resolution No. 35-17.This resolution was approved at a special meeting of the BOCC on July 31, 2017. 1 It has been over 4 years since that resolution has been adopted. Now, we not only have a shortage of affordable housing, but a shortage of all housing. Homes are being listed on the market and receive multiple offers over and above the asking prices. Closing on theses homes is done in 6 days as many of the buyers have cash.This has resulted in a market frenzy. Now, the BOCC, has enacted an Emergency Ordinance to stop Boundary Line Adjustments (BLA).The BLA process was being used to change existing platted lots of sub-standard size into lots that complied with current septic standards. Ideally, these lots could be built on now if sewer was available. But,the County has failed to develop a sewer system. Therefore the need to alter the lot sizes. Emergency Moratorium 06 101121 conflicts with the stated intent of the current Comprehensive Plan. I believe there is no emergency requiring that Boundary Line Adjustment be halted throughout the county. I urge the BOCC to rescind Emergency Moratorium 06 1011 21. Should staff need to study the BLA process they can do so without a moratorium in place.

The Community Build Project(CBP),an all volunteer organization based in Jefferson County,is creating temporary emergency shelter villages to house those who are housing-insecure.Over the past year,CBP has built 22 tiny shelters,12 of which are currently occupied in a temporary emergency village in Port Hadlock,WA.CBP volunteers have been truly inspired 2 by the film Community First!,and are now considering expanding to assist in establishing a similar permanent village for the unsheltered citizens in our community.Watch the film;be inspired;volunteer for CBP. Joining us after the film will be Judy Alexander,Community Engagement for Community Build Project;Debbi Steele, Volunteer Coordinator for Community Build Project;and Carla Main,Volunteer with Jefferson County's Housing Solutions Network.

New IPCC Report on Climate Here is an excerpt from climate.gov about the new climate report released a few weeks ago. "....the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)released the Physical Science Basis report from Working Group 1,a major part of their sixth Assessment Report.This report includes the most up-to-date understanding of the climate system and climate change,providing the best scientific evidence in order to understand the past,present,and future changes to our planet from global warming.The conclusions are clear:climate change is already affecting nearly every part of the planet,and human activities are unequivocally the cause. 10 The report,co-authored by 234 scientists from around the world,finds that we are now around 2.0°F(1.1°C)warmer than in 1850-i9oo,warming at a rate without precedent in at least 200o years,possibly longer.This report confirms that the climate-driven changes occurring around the world are widespread,rapid,and intensifying.Our influence on the climate is making extreme weather and climate events—like heat waves,heavy rain,and droughts—more frequent and severe,putting more people,property,and natural resources in harm's way. Unless there is a rapid and large-scale reduction in greenhouse gas emissions,limiting warming to a 2.7°F(1.5°C)threshold will be beyond reach.Scientists warn that the more humans drive Earth's average temperature above this threshold,the more frequent and severe extreme weather and climate events will become."

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Michael Swanzey 2153 Shy Bear Way NW Issaquah, Washington 98027 Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners 1820 Jefferson St., Port Townsend, WA 98368. Re: Status of Marijuana Grow Farm Operations in Rural Residential Zones Dear Board of Commissioners: I desire to buy a lot in Quilcene, Washington, to build a house and retire. In particular, parcel number 601105014. The neighboring parcel number 601105013 has applied for permits to build several warehouses having a total capacity of 12,000 sq. ft. to grow and process Cannabis in a zone designated Rural Residential. Just to put that in perspective physically, that footprint impact is equivalent to approximately ten (10!) 1,200 sq. ft. homes on this single parcel. According to an article in the Port Townsend paper, The Leader. County's first legal pot grower, processor licensed I Port Townsend Leader(ptleader.com), Jefferson county has placed a six month moratorium on marijuana grow operations on lands zoned RR-20 Rural Residential: "That moratorium limits those businesses to three areas— agricultural, forestry and industrial. As a result, such businesses are not allowed in rural residential areas." And from this article it appears that the Cannabis entrepreneurs are moving on and establishing their endeavor in an other than Rural Residential zone. But for how long? What happens when the moratorium expires? Do I (or others) need to continually worry about these processing operations eventually becoming neighbors? Is the county intending to allow these Cannabis processing plants in Rural Residential as "Cottage Industry" or not? I have nothing against use of marijuana... none at all. But having these operators in remote, rural regions of Jefferson Country are easy targets for the criminal and or addicted types to commit strong- arm raids and other mischief in unincorporated rural areas. There are obviously other impacts such i as 24 hours of grow lamps leaking light into the night and through the trees, pests, chemical overflow impacting neighboring wells, and I suppose, traffic. Thank you for your time.

Register Here Selling or Buying a Business - What's it Worth? This free one-hour training session is offered as part of the State's Global Entrepreneurship Month. When you begin to plan for retirement as a small business owner, understanding your businesses worth can become a stressful and complex process. If you are considering buying an existing small business how can you gauge how much you should pay for it? In the world of Mergers and Acquisitions a set of processes exist that high-paid attorneys and venture capital firms use. We will show you how to apply those rules of thumb to small businesses. This process revolves around an acronym - EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization).

Click Here NATIONAL ASSOCIATTfitOUNT IES NACC144 p .0 «w " I URGE YOUR U.S. REPRESENTATIVES TO PASS THE STATE, LOCAL, TRIBAL, AND TERRITORIAL FISCAL RECOVERY, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND DISASTER RELIEF FLEXIBILITY ACT 1 The bipartisan State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Fiscal Recovery, Infrastructure, and Disaster Relief Flexibility Act would provide additional flexibility for the $350 billion Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (Recovery Fund) authorized under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Last night, the U.S. Senate passed this bipartisan bill, and it now heads to the U.S. House of Representatives for a vote. The legislation would strengthen the Recovery Fund in the following ways: • Allow counties to allocate up to $10 million in ARPA Recovery Funds for the provision of government services without being required to calculate revenue loss • Allow $10 million (or 30 percent) of a county's ARPA Recovery Fund allocation to be used for infrastructure-related activities authorized under existing federal surface transportation laws or a Community Development Block Grant project • Allow ARPA Recovery Funds to provide emergency relief from natural disasters and their negative economic impacts, including temporary emergency housing, food assistance, financial assistance for lost wages, or other immediate needs The Recovery Fund, which NACo helped develop and strongly advocated for its passage, is a historic investment in our nation's counties. These funds provide direct, flexible aid for every county, parish and borough in America. Please contact your U.S. Representative and urge their support for final passage of the State, Local,Tribal, and Territorial Fiscal Recovery, Infrastructure, and Disaster Relief Flexibility Act, which will help counties achieve our goal of successfully implementing the Recovery Fund to ensure the health and well-being of our residents and economic vitality for our communities.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hello, I am writing to express my disappointment with Dr. Berry's inability/unwillingness to respond to any of my questions and concerns surrounding masks and COVID-19 vaccines. I have sent Dr. Berry several emails and have not received a single response. I will concede that at one meeting(the last BOH meeting, I believe), Dr. Berry nodded her head in agreement after Commissioner Brotherton said that RRR (Relative Risk Reduction) is a statistic that is used to measure all vaccines.That, however, is the extent to which my questions have been addressed (though to be fair, that wasn't even the crux of my argument and the response did nothing to address my concerns). If Dr. Berry simply does not have the time to respond to the community's questions—though I would be surprised if this was the case, seeing as she was able to be interviewed in an amateur video that was released the other day—then maybe it would be prudent for her to focus on being the Health Officer for only one county. (I don't understand why she's in charge of two counties; wouldn't it be more sensible to have two different Health Officers for Clallam and Jefferson counties?) If she does have the time, on the other hand, I believe it would be much more beneficial to have a public Q&A where concerned (i.e., 'stupid,' 'antivax,' 'antiscience') citizens can actually have their questions answered. Resistance to this request has left me stymied. With the Board of Health having passed a resolution calling misinformation a 'public health crisis,' such a proposal would appear to be a golden opportunity to dispel all of that misinformation floating around in our community. Dr. Berry, below are a list of questions that I will be asking you at the BOH meeting this Thursday, 10/21/2021. I hope you will take the time to read this email in advance and that you will be able to answer all of these questions in full at the meeting. 1. I sent you an article published in the Lancet a couple of weeks ago.That article used Pfizer's data to show that the Number Needed to Vaccinate was 119.Assuming that this data is accurate, does that mean that 119 people would need to be vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine to prevent 1 additional case of COVID-19? 2. At the last BOH meeting,you said that we don't have to read scientific studies because that's what you do. I sent you over a dozen studies with evidence showing that masks are ineffective. In fact, many studies that suggest masking as a 1 way to combat COVID-19 merely say that masking 'could' have a benefit, despite their own evidence disputing such claims. Did you read those studies I sent you, and if so, have they in any way affected your view on masking? 3.There are several different vaccines being distributed in the US right now.These vaccines do not all appear to be equally safe or effective. If these vaccines have been rigorously monitored for safety and efficacy, one would think that by now data would have emerged showing which is the safest and most effective. If this is the case, which is the safest and most effective? If you are mandating vaccination and encouraging vaccine mandates, you should be telling us which single vaccine to take, not telling us'oh,just take any of them,they're all great.'Saying that they are all equally safe and effective when they're clearly not signals that you don't have the safety data to justify mandates. 4.JCPH only publishes statistics on the percentage of fully vaccinated and not fully vaccinated individuals for COVID-19 cases (and the data since August 4th of this year until October 15th indicate that, of the population eligible for vaccination, over 51%of COVID-19 cases have been in fully vaccinated individuals).* Why doesn't JCPH provide the same statistics for COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths? 5. Can you cite any data that shows that these COVID-19 vaccines will have no side effects within 10 years after injection?5 years? 1 year? 6. Is Comirnaty available in Jefferson County? See you on Thursday, Sincerely, Kincaid Gould *Remember that data table I sent you a couple of weeks ago? Here's the update with last week's data: Date #Of Cases %Cases #Of Cases Change in# %Cases #Of Cases Change in # Among Not Among Not of Cases (Not Among Fully Among Fully of Cases (Total) Fully Fully Fully Vaccinated Vaccinated (Fully Vaccinated Vaccinated Vaccinated) Vaccinated) 08/04/2021 525 92.1% 484 - 7.9% 41 - 08/09/2021 554 89.3% 495 11 10.7% 59 18 08/16/2021 597 86.1% 514 19 13.9% 83 24 08/23/2021 640 83.4% 534 20 16.6% 106 23 08/30/2021 685 81.9% 561 27 18.1% 124 18 09/07/2021 805 77.5% 624 63 22.5% 181 57 09/13/2021 871 77.76% 677 53 22.24% 194 13 09/20/2021 932 76.67% 715 38 23.33% 217 23 09/27/2021 977 75.9% 742 27 24.1% 235 18 10/01/2021 1005 74.21% 746 4 25.79% 259 24 10/08/2021 1041 74.05% 771 25 25.95% 270 11 10/15/2021 1064 73.90% 786 15 26.10% 278 8 2 Date #Of New #Of New Cases %Of New Cases #Of New Cases %Of New Cases Cases Among Not Fully Among Not Fully Among Fully Among Fully Vaccinated Vaccinated Vaccinated Vaccinated 08/04/2021 - - - - - 08/09/2021 29 11 37.9% 18 62.1% 08/16/2021 43 19 44.2% 24 55.8% 08/23/2021 43 20 46.5% 23 53.5% 08/30/2021 45 27 60.0% 18 40.0% 09/07/2021 120 63 52.5% 57 47.5% 09/13/2021 66 53 80.3% 13 19.7% 09/20/2021 61 38 62.3% 23 37.7% 09/27/2021 45 27 60.0% 18 40.0% 10/01/2021 28 4 14.3% 24 85.7% 10/08/2021 36 25 69.4% 11 30.6% 10/15/2021 23 15 65.2% 8 34.8% TOTAL 539 302 56.0% 237 44.0% If you subtract the kids aged 0-11 from the data table (all of which should be cases among the 'not fully vaccinated,' and all of which are ineligible for vaccination), more than half of cases have been in fully vaccinated individuals. (There have been 75 cases in children aged 0-11 since August 18th, so the number is very likely greater over the period since August 4th.) Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. 3
