God Bless Coffee on October 7. God Bless Coffee has been long anticipated by the Port Ludlow community, who are a very loyal customer base of GBF Enterprises, the parent company to the new Espresso and Food Trailer. Thysen and Debi,started GBF Catering back in December of 2013 and grew the catering business over the years, which allowed Thysen to retire after 30 years as a flooring contractor. Thysen's passion is feeding people, so this was a welcome change that allowed him to focus solely on feeding the masses through catering and offering his varied menus. Thysen took over the back half of the Grace Christian Center building in September of 2019 and made extensive renovations to the building and. surrounding area, which was completed in February of 2020. One month later, with the COVID-19 shutdown, which shut down God Bless Food's entire catering schedule, Thysen and Debi jumped into action and started 'a Dinners to Go service from 2 the back door of their cateringkitchen.t chen As one thing led to another, and after listening to the loyal fans of their dinner service, Thysen and Debi decided to open an espresso and coffee trailer with plans that started a year ago in October of 2020. Now, two weeks after opening, they are getting into their groove and are learning what the community craves for breakfast and lunch. Thysen's selection of breakfast sandwiches quickly rose to the top of favorite items on this menu that has something for everyone. The biscuits and gravy and assortment of freshly made breakfast sandwiches are fan favorites! And as Thysen is now able to streamline operations, he is also starting to add specials daily, including breakfast and lunch items. God Bless Coffee is located outside the GBF Kitchen at 200 Olympic Place in Port Ludlow. Winter hours are Monday — Saturday, open from 6:30 am to 2:00 pm, closed on Sundays.

Kevin was able to add the roads layer onto my proposed map - see the attached PDF for a version with road labels on it, which makes it MUCH easier to see where exactly the boundaries fall. (Huge thank you to Kevin for doing this, and to Commissioner Putney for requesting it!) If it's possible for us to split census blocks - even very slightly, I have a few small adjustments to suggest to this map: 1) Add the remainder of Middlepoint Road and Haada Laas Road into District 1 (keeping the whole road in one district - the census block boundary is oddly random there.) This was the change Commissioner Petranek suggested. 1 n ryes do 1 � p e s Sd of �" This only affects about tax parcels, so the effect on population is likely to be quite minimal, but it keeps the neighborhood together. • h end Similarly, Southport Lane and Aerie Lane, off Hwy 20, and the of Gibbs Lake Road/McNeil Road (Off West Valley) should stay in District 3, to be connected with their neighbors. Again, these splits affect just a handful of parcels (so very few residents), but keep a contiguous neighborhood in the same district. 4 f4 1.4' 1' '11 ,pm 8 ma 3 The other "problem" boundary is the District 1/District 2line near Old Fort Townsend. If it's possible to split census blocks, I'd suggest drawing this line just past Old Fort Townsend Road, so that both sides of the road (and the entire park itself) are in District i, 2 but that both sides of Parkridge Drive are in District 2d This will help keep neighborhoods together, and avoid school district boundary splits (In all of these edges, prioritizing not splitting junior taxing districts seems smart). Here's a closeup for the Old Fort Townsend area, with the blue line showing the proposed District border. It's easier to see on the parcel map: ow �;, . t ;Ny* 0III1', tidy -p is . , , z �i, is T' ft �., ` x - - t - t�g 01112005 ;g�t —j „.... ,_......:__ _Ularmi.tam. 44 Hd ..._,...__._.:...._ .... ....,... ._-1 i "'3 fb a ' 4 Un 13Q17 f f 11 OOt271903 00121AOOs 001773002 d \�`°t'' l i ,o^"f` 00'27°s 901zta09s _ _ti t.

On October 19, the U.S. Senate passed the bipartisan bill and companion legislation (H.R. 5735) has been introduced in the U.S. House. The bill would allow counties to allocate up to $10 million of Recovery Funds for government services, $10 million, or 30 percent (whichever is higher) for highway and transit projects and to address natural disasters. The bill would allow counties to use a total of over$27 billion for new transportation and infrastructure projects and over $17 billion for government services.

DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE AND REQUEST FOR COMMENTS ON SCOPE OF EIS Description of proposal: The proposal is to establish a sustainable harvest level for the 2025 to 2034 fiscal year planning decade for forested state trust land in western Washington. Proponent: Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Location of proposal: All forested state trust lands located west of the Cascade Crest in Washington State (refer to attached map). Lead agency: DNR Determination: Environmental Impact Statement(EIS) required. The lead agency has determined this proposal potentially will have a significant adverse impact on the environment. An EIS is required under Revised Code of Washington (RCW)43.21C.030(2)(c) and will be prepared. Deadline for comments: December 9, 2021 by 5:00 pm Scoping notice invites comments: Scoping is the first formal step in preparing an EIS and initiates public involvement. Through scoping, DNR seeks public input on identifying the areas that require in-depth analysis, and those areas for which a more limited discussion is appropriate. This process helps to focus DNR's consideration on the issues that are truly significant, and avoids obscuring those issues with unnecessary detail. The primary purposes of scoping are to: • Narrow the focus of the EIS to significant environmental issues; • Eliminate issues that would have insignificant impacts, or that are not directly related to the proposal; • Identify alternatives to be analyzed in the EIS; and • Identify mitigation measures that address potential environmental impacts of the proposal. Areas for public comment: Agencies, affected tribes, and members of the public are invited to comment on the scope of the EIS. You may comment on alternatives,mitigation measures,probable significant adverse impacts, and licenses or other approvals that may be required. DNR welcomes all comments relevant to the scope of the EIS. If you are suggesting a particular approach or impacts to consider, please explain why. The more evidence provided in support of a comment, such as peer- reviewed studies or reports,the more useful that comment will be to DNR in its analysis. Detailed and supported comments will help in developing a robust EIS. Suggested comment topic areas include the following: • Probable significant environmental impacts that need to considered in the adoption of the sustainable harvest level. • Key environmental issues that need to be addressed and analyzed by one or more of the alternatives. • Alternatives that need to be considered that will meet the need for, and the purpose of,the proposal. • Specific mitigation measures that DNR should consider to avoid or minimize impacts. • Identification of additional environmental information, studies, or reports relevant to the development of sustainable harvest level alternatives. In the EIS, DNR will analyze the No Action Alternative and reasonable action alternatives (to be identified as a result of scoping). Alternatives to be considered in the EIS must meet the following parameters: • DNR's trust mandate • Applicable forest practices rules (Title 222 WAC) • All other applicable state and federal regulations • All current DNR policies, including the objectives of the State Trust Lands Habitat Conservation Plan • Proposed purpose and need statement(attached to this notice) You may submit these comments via one of the following methods: • USPS mail: Department of Natural Resources, SEPA Center, P.O. Box 47015, Olympia, WA 98504- 7015 • Online comment via survey monkey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WWSHC-25to34 Background Information: In Washington, DNR manages approximately 5.6 million acres of state trust lands. State trust lands are lands held in trust for specific trust beneficiaries, such as public schools and universities. The term"state trust lands" refers to both State lands and State forest lands: • State lands (RCW 79.02.010(14)) are lands granted to the state by the federal government at statehood. State lands are also referred to as Federal Grant Lands. • State forest lands (RCW 79.02.010(13)) are lands acquired by Washington State from the counties. There are two types: State Forest Purchase Lands,which are lands purchased or acquired by the state as a gift, and State Forest Transfer Lands, which are lands transferred to the state from the counties. As a trust lands manager, DNR's responsibility is to manage these lands consistent with fiduciary principles, which include producing a perpetual supply of revenue for specific trust beneficiaries. On forested state trust lands, revenue is produced primarily through the harvesting of trees. Providing a perpetual supply of revenue requires responsible management with an emphasis on long-term sustainability. A major component DNR's approach to sustainable management is calculation of a sustainable harvest level, which is the volume of timber to be scheduled for sale during a planning decade according to applicable laws, policies, and procedures (RCW 79.10.300)(5). Put another way,the sustainable harvest level is the amount of timber DNR can harvest from forested state trust lands on a continuing basis without major prolonged curtailment or cessation of harvest. The western Washington sustainable harvest level applies to all forested state trust lands located west of the Cascade Crest in Washington (approximately 1.4 million acres). These lands are divided into 20 sustainable harvest units, each of which is assigned its own sustainable harvest level for the decade. • The Westside Sustainable Harvest Unit consists of all State lands (Federal Grant Lands) and State Forest Purchase Lands located west of the Cascade Crest, with the exception of lands located inside the Olympic Experimental State Forest(OESF) and Capitol State Forest. • The OESF and Capitol State Forests consist of all State lands (Federal Grant Lands), State Forest Purchase Lands, and State Forest Transfer Lands located within their respective boundaries. • Each of the 17 counties is a separate State Forest Transfer unit. Each unit consists of all State Forest Transfer Lands located within their respective county boundaries,with the exception of lands located in the OESF and Capitol State Forest. The sustainable harvest level is defined in board feet, which is a unit of volume equivalent to a 12-inch square, one-inch thick piece of wood. The level is recalculated every 10 years. To ensure one generation of beneficiaries is not favored over another,the next decade's level cannot rise or fall more than 25 percent from the previous decade's level. DNR is required to set a sustainable harvest level by Washington state law. Specifically, DNR must periodically adjust acreages designated for inclusion in the sustained yield management program and calculate a sustainable harvest level (RCW 79.10.320). Sustained yield means harvesting on a continual basis without major prolonged curtailment or cessation of harvest(RCW 79.10.310). The sustainable harvest level is a policy decision that requires approval from the Board of Natural Resources. DNR calculates the sustainable harvest level through a forest estate modeling process. The forest estate model is a mathematical, computer-based representation of the forest. Capable of manipulating vast quantities of data, the model is able to look across landscapes and decades to determine the sustainable harvest level that is the best balance of DNR's management objectives,which include both revenue production and ecological values such as wildlife habitat. Notice of Public Meeting: Due to safety considerations around COVID-19, public meetings will be held via webinar.

PURPOSE The purpose describes what DNR is trying to achieve. • The purpose of the proposed action is to recalculate a sustainable harvest level consistent with DNR policies, including the Policy for Sustainable Forests,the 1997 HCP,and applicable local, state,and federal laws. NEED The need describes why DNR is seeking to accomplish the purpose: • Revised Code of Washington(RCW)79.10.320 requires DNR to"manage the state-owned lands under its jurisdiction which are primarily valuable for the purpose of growing forest crops on a sustained yield basis insofar as compatible with other statutory directives. To this end,the department shall periodically adjust the acreages designated for inclusion in the sustained yield management program and calculate a sustainable harvest level." This RCW is reflected in the Policy for Sustainable Forests(Policy on Recalculation of the Sustainable Harvest Level)with a specific requirement to"recalculate the statewide sustainable harvest level, for Board of Natural Resources adoption no less frequently than every ten years." • RCW 79.10.330 states that"[i]f an arrearage exists at the end of any planning decade,the department shall conduct an analysis of alternatives to determine the course of action regarding the arrearage which provides the greatest return to the trusts based upon economic conditions then existing and forecast, as well as impacts on the environment of harvesting the additional timber. The department shall offer for sale the arrearage in addition to the sustainable harvest level adopted by the Board of Natural Resources for the next planning decade if the analysis determined doing so will provide the greatest return to the trusts."This RCW is reflected in the department's policy on arrearage(Policy on End of Decade Analysis:Arrearage), a 2019 addition to the Policy for Sustainable Forests. OBJECTIVES The objectives describe how the purpose and need are fulfilled: • Objective#1: Incorporate new information into an updated forest estate model to calculate the sustainable harvest level that will inform the Board of Natural Resources when setting the decadal harvest level.New information includes changes in the land base, changes in forest inventory (including requirements of 2SHB 1168), information concerning decadal arrearage and its causes, and changes in technology. • Objective#2: Consider climate change as part of the affected environment, analyze climate change impacts and benefits of the alternatives, and identify possible mitigation measures that will reduce or eliminate any identified adverse environmental climate change impacts of the proposal. • Objective#3: Ensure alternatives analyzed are reasonable,feasible, and consistent with DNR's trust management obligations, existing DNR policies,and applicable local, state, and federal laws.

Using input gathered from public workshops, focus groups, committees, surveys, interviews, and more, we've wrestled with how the heritage area can provide the most value to our state's unique saltwater shores and stories. From these conversations, we've developed a clearer vision for how the heritage area will support our local communities in sharing, maintaining, and celebrating their maritime cultures— including a set of goals to guide the program. The Maritime Washington National Heritage Area will: • Build a network of cross-sector partners dedicated to advancing and honoring Washington's maritime cultures • Provide support and resources for organizations, communities, and Tribes working to enhance and share maritime heritage • Share diverse stories and increase visibility of Washington's maritime heritage, past and present • Encourage sustainable experiences of maritime heritage for residents and visitors alike 2 • Preserve our region's unique maritime identity, resources, and lifeways Now, we're using these goals to craft a full management plan for the heritage area. Early next year, we'll bring the plan to you for your review and input.

We recognize that one size does not fit all when it comes to strengthening communities, and most importantly, successful solutions must be community-driven, not preconceived or imposed from outside. As stewards of about 100 state and federally-funded programs, Commerce began to pivot several years ago from typical, and often siloed, government assistance models to new approaches focused on intensive, comprehensive community engagement and outreach. I'm excited to share news that we're growing our team dedicated to promoting equity and opportunity for underserved communities, small businesses and organizations. In the past month, we welcomed three new members stationed throughout the state. "Small-business owners add so much value to the quality of life in our towns and cities, yet many are underserved and underrepresented. Many of these business owners may not always have access to a small-business advisor who speaks their language, a * 1 computer with high-speed internet or even a trusted guide who can help them maneuver through all the complicated language for grant and loan applications."--- Jessica Camacho, Small Business Resiliency Network lead based in Yakima. • "I'm excited that part of my work will be to advocate for Ns and assist with engaging diverse and historically , t marginalized neighborhoods, regions, communities and organizations to ensure everyone in Washington has opportunities to succeed and live their best f ° lives."--- Karlena Brailey, Community Engagement Specialist based on the Olympic Peninsula "I am thrilled to be part of a growing team that wants to help communities help communities to gain equitable access to resources and reach their goals. This includes expanding the programs that Commerce has to offer in an equitable manner," Chavez said. "It is exciting to build a new regional position in south central Washington and bridge opportunities with community members, small businesses, organizations, cities and counties." --- Norma Chavez, Community Engagement Specialist based in Kennewick We also have open recruitments for two more community engagement specialists serving the central and northwestern regions of the state. 2 Meet Jessica, Karlena and Norma and read more about the entire team in our press release.

I was Pleased to open the first meeting of the Homeownership Disparities Task Force last Monday. As home to the state Housing Trust Fund and related programs addressing affordable housing, homelessness and foreclosure fairness, Commerce has been charged by the legislature with convening this diverse homeownership-focused work group to assess perspectives on housing and lending laws, policies and practices.

Consider yourself lucky because 45% of Washington residents either have no internet service in their home or have less than 10 Megabits per second (Mbps) download speed. At that speed, you can check email and browse a few internet sites, but you can't stream a TV program or movie, participate in a video call, or have a reliable connection for more than one person at a time. Pretty rough, right? Now take a step back and think about folks who don't have or can't to n'tafford a computer or mobile device, or who are hesitant or don't even know go online even if they could. Digital equity begins with infrastructure, but it's much more than laying fiber or linking to satellites to get people in rural areas connected.

They're in the heart of central Washington's rich agriculture region that feeds not only our state, but the world, with wheat, potatoes and many other staple crops. For generations, much of their water has come from ancient underground aquifers in a geologically complex and isolated natural system that is no longer capable of sufficiently replenishing itself. A 2012 Columbia Basin Groundwater Management Area Report confirmed the dire prognosis—the water is running out.

I made that request to the Jefferson County Public Health Department. Attached is the response by the Public Health Department on October 18, 2021. As you see there have been a total of 12 individuals that passed due to Covid 19 in the time frame of July 1, 2021 to October 18, 2021. Of the total, 8 were fully vaccinated. Four were not fully vaccinated. The letter goes into some detail regarding the circumstances of the 8 that died that were fully vaccinated. We have know for some time that Covid19 is particularly dangerous to elderly individuals with comorbidities. In addition we know that a large number of deaths are people in long term care facilities. The purpose of the vaccine is, in large part, to protect those vulnerable people. Obviously, for those 8 people, the vaccine failed to protect them. Now, I would like to turn to the concept of mandatory vaccines and particularly termination of people's employment for not being fully vaccinated. Considering that the vaccine is not the panacea that it was thought to be, is it necessary to terminate people's employment? It is obvious that people can get Covid19, even if they are vaccinated. They can also carry and spread Covid19, even if they are fully vaccinated. I have taken many vaccines since the beginning of my career at sea. Vaccination for Cholera was at one time a requirement for entry to certain countries. It is no longer done. This was because it was deemed that treatment of the disease was more effective than being vaccinated. So, what purpose is there in terminating someone's employment should they not want to take the vaccine? Considering these facts, should Jefferson County or any other entity make vaccination status a subject of employment? If they do are they then liable for illegal termination over vaccine status? Merck is seeking approval for a therapeutic to treat Covid19. I would imagine that many more therapeutics will be developed. 2 I am not convinced that terminating people's employment is justified in this situation. I urge the BOCC to not do such a rash action.

Dear Ms. Sokol, Thank you for your letter and for sharing your concerns regarding children and face masks. As a grandfather of grandkids in both elementary and middle schools, and as a pediatrician with a public health background, I could not agree with you more that for children to wear face masks is definitely not ideal. For some it is even contraindicated, as is true for some adults as well. It pains me to watch little children struggle to communcate with masks and yet I have also seen how well most chidren have adapted to wearing masks inside and outside when in close contact with others. That said, in my opinion and in the opinion of the majority of pediatricians and public health experts, the dangers of acquiring COVID-19 far outway the dangers of wearing masks. We have already seen far too many children with serious short and long-term problems related to COVID-19. I sincerely hope that more and more people of all ages will get vaccinated soon so that we can put this pandemic behind us. When the case rate drops low enough we will all be able to breath more easily-without masks.

"Evils which are patiently endured when they seem inevitable, become intolerable when once the idea of escape from them is suggested"—Alexis de Tocqueville, 1856 On Oct 27, 2021, at 11:57 AM, Craig Durgan <durgan@olympus.net>wrote: Hello, Recently I requested,through a public records request, to know the number of people who had passed away in Jefferson County, Wa, due to Covid19, since July 1, 2021. I made that request to the Jefferson County Public Health Department. Attached is the response by the Public Health Department on October 18, 2021. As you see there have been a total of 12 individuals that passed due to Covid 19 in the time frame of July 1, 2021 to October 18, 2021. Of the total, 8 were fully vaccinated. Four were not fully vaccinated. The letter goes into some detail regarding the circumstances of the 8 that died that were fully vaccinated. We have know for some time that Covid19 is particularly dangerous to elderly individuals with comorbidities. In addition we know that a large number of deaths are people in long term care facilities. The purpose of the vaccine is, in large part, to protect those vulnerable people. Obviously, for those 8 people, the vaccine failed to protect them. Now, I would like to turn to the concept of mandatory vaccines and particularly termination of people's employment for not being fully vaccinated. Considering that the vaccine is not the panacea that it was thought to be, is it necessary to terminate people's employment? 3 It is obvious that people can get Covid19, even if they are vaccinated. They can also carry and spread Covid19, even if they are fully vaccinated. I have taken many vaccines since the beginning of my career at sea. Vaccination for Cholera was at one time a requirement for entry to certain countries. It is no longer done. This was because it was deemed that treatment of the disease was more effective than being vaccinated. So, what purpose is there in terminating someone's employment should they not want to take the vaccine? Considering these facts, should Jefferson County or any other entity make vaccination status a subject of employment? If they do are they then liable for illegal termination over vaccine status? Merck is seeking approval for a therapeutic to treat Covid19. I would imagine that many more therapeutics will be developed. I am not convinced that terminating people's employment is justified in this situation. I urge the BOCC to not do such a rash action. This could lead to many wrongful firing lawsuits. It could also lead to lawsuits over coercion or harassment in the work place.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Commissioners: I understand your desire to help the PDA succeed due to it's value in our community.What I disagree with is the State letting the park deteriorate without funding maintenance then passing it's upkeep to the PDA under sponsorship of the city and now asking the county to partner up. Mr. Robison and the park's businesses pitched the PDA idea to the Parks and Recreation Board, over local opposition, on which Mr. Roger Schmitt served. Backed with the blessing of the City Manager Dave Timmons and the Mayor David King the PDA was born.The City donated $500,00o to get the PDA started because the investment would benefit the city coffers through visitors and wanted no part of managing it even though by law they are the sponsoring entity. The PDA soon went head over heels in debit with their spending without proven income. Looking at the financials before covid and their net income would not support their debit. Saying covid was the reason for the present financial collapse is a diversion to poor management by the city and PDA. OK so lets start again.Who do we have leading now is Roger Schmitt and David King on the board and Dave Timmons leading the PDA.This is far to deja vu for me. I'm not OK with the county commissioners hooking to the PDA financially but if you just can't say no make it a loan.What I see is a grant absolves the commissioners from going after the PDA if they default which means going after the city to recover damages for the tax payer. Politically very messy. The old saying goes fool me once shame on you;fool me twice shame on me.

Hello County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry,and Willie Bence, KPTZ listeners submitted only a few questions for the BOCC Update on November 1, 2021. Please see them listed below. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Berry: 1.What is the recommendation for a fully vaccinated family visiting fully vaccinated (and boosted!) grandparents over the December holidays? Grandparents live out of state, they are in their 80s but generally in good health. Can we stay at their house for the week? Masks on the entire time? (that would be tough). Or go back to staying elsewhere and visiting outside? 2. Can the Pfizer booster shot cause fainting in people with low blood pressure? Question for Willie Bence: 1. When is the next clinic for Pfizer boosters in PT? All the spots and waiting lists were full before I could go to the site. 1 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Friday, October 29, 2021 1:14 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW:JTA 11/3/21 TAG Meeting Information Attachments: TAG Agenda and Materials 11.3.21.pdf From: Sara J.

A quorum was present. Authority Board Member Present: Jefferson County Commissioner Kate Dean Staff Present: General Manager Tammi Rubert, Finance Manager Sara Crouch, Fixed Route Operations Manager Nicole Gauthier, Mobility Operations Manager Miranda Nash, and Executive Assistant/Clerk of the Board SJ Peck ' CALL TO ORDER/WELCOME The meeting was called to order at 3:40 pm by Committee Chair Debbie Jahnke. PUBLIC COMMENT There was none. TRANSPO GROUP: ELECTRIC VEHICLE STUDY Attachment A Paul Sharman of Transpo Group presented in the following: • "Existing Conditions" • Summary of Electric Bus Technologies • Route Analysis • Electric Requirements Analysis • Total Cost of Ownership • Greenhouse Gas Estimates • Summary Discussion ensued on driver blocks and battery capacity. Data was taken from the 2019 driver blocks. The raw data for estimated kilowatt hours will be taken into consideration while moving forward. However, the driver blocks may be different. If the runs need to shorten to accommodate battery capacity, the number of operators and shifts may increase as well. The industry expectation for battery capacity is approximately a five percent increase per year. There was discussion on bus replacement, and maintenance costs. Total cost of ownership is assuming a one to one bus replacement from diesel to full electric. The data presented represents the lifecycle bus costs. A question was asked about bus uniformity across manufacturers. All bus designs are slightly different but all need to pass federal inspection. JTA would prefer to go with Gillig electric buses to keep consistency with the JTA fleet. Jefferson Transit Authority Transit Advisory Group Draft Meeting Minutes 9-1-2021 Page 1 of 3 There is a strong interest from the Authority Board to head in this direction. It is a long process. An Electric Vehicle Workshop will be scheduled for January 2022. CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS Approval of July 7, 2021 Minutes Motion:Brenda McMillan moved to approve the July 7, 2021 Minutes. John Nowak seconded. Vote: The motion carried unanimously, 7-0 by voice vote. NEW AGENDA ITEMS There were none. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Long Range Plan Timeline Tammi Rubert explained the LRP Timeline. JTA has not received the document yet. Discussion ensued on transit's role in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Reduction. The timeline will be posted on the JTA website. Route Studies Discussion-Attachment B Scott Walker explained the idea of a point to point schedule. This is designed to be a rider friendly schedule for riders that do not have easy access to the Internet. There was discussion of the routes to be included in the schedules. The explained example is intended to include Port Hadlock to Port Townsend and back. Google Transit does provide this information. A paper option can be beneficial for certain locations. A survey could be useful to figure out specific routes in need of further detail. High use routes could be helpful for specific route maps. JTA can make a map for the Haines Place/Curtis Street/Port Hadlock route and post them at the major bus shelters. A downloadable version can be added to the JTA website. Feedback will be encouraged. JTA may look at other routes if the map is successful. Riders can also call customer service for help with trip information. Jefferson Transit Authority Transit Advisory Group Draft Meeting Minutes 9-1-2021 Page 2 of 3 NEW BUSINESS Kingston Service Update JTA postponed the Kingston Service until February 2022. JTA wants this route to be successful and will wait until staffing levels stabilize. A press release will go out to announcing the postponement of the Kingston Route. Tabling for Transit/Survey Topics Tabled for the next meeting RIDERSHIP REPORT Attachment C Nicole Gauthier reported on the following ridership items: • Fixed Route Daily Ridership Averages • JTOC Daily Ridership Averages • Dial-A-Ride Daily Ridership Averages Discussion ensued about ridership at other transit agencies. It is difficult to compare because some agencies are not at full service and others are going back to reduced service. Some transit agencies are losing drivers due to COVID and are requiring vaccinations for employees. PUBLIC COMMENT There was none. John Nowak thanked Miranda for her help with the Community Health Improvement Program (CHIP). Kate Dean announced John Nowak's retirement from Jefferson Healthcare. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 5:08 pm. The next regular meeting will be held on November 3, 2021 at 3:30 pm.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dr. Berry, BOH, BOCC— (Apologies for the formatting) Thank you for your response to my questions at the last BOH meeting and for your follow—up email. I very much appreciated hearing your answers to the questions I asked. Below, I' ve written my reactions to your responses. I understand that you' re quite pressed for time (and again, thank you for finding the time to respond to my email), and I' m not expecting you to reply to this email (or necessarily to even read it) . However, I would very much appreciate a response from any member(s) on this Board of Health or any other appropriate authority. First, I' 11 go through the questions I asked in order and give my response to what Dr. Berry said, where applicable. 1. My first question was about the Number Needed to Vaccinate (NNV) statistic based on Pfizer' s data (i. e. , does Pfizer' s NNV of 119 mean that 119 people need to be vaccinated in order to prevent one additional case of COVID-19?). This question, unfortunately, was not answered. On the plus side, I' m sure that anybody who is qualified to administer the vaccine would know the answer to this question. I' ve asked this a few times now and haven' t received a response, which I' m assuming means my interpretation of that statistic is correct, though it would be nice to get confirmation. i 2. My second question was about studies finding masks were ineffective. This was responded to in the email as well, so I' 11 reserve this comment for later. 3. Next, I asked which vaccine is the safest and most effective. If I recall correctly, Dr. Berry said that the J&J shot is the least effective of the three vaccines, but that all three were extremely safe. I would disagree with the assertion that all three of the vaccines are very safe—especially when considering the low risk that COVID-19 poses to most people—and I' d also point to the Lancet article referred to in the first question, which shows that J&J' s NNV is actually much lower than Pfizer' s, at 83 (though of course this isn' t conclusive evidence to show one is more effective than the other). However, what I think about this question is not important, as I was asking for Dr. Berry to throw her support behind one single vaccine based on all of the data she' s seen—which she was unable to do. 4. Fourth, I asked why JCPH doesn' t tell us how many hospitalizations or deaths are among fully vaccinated individuals, partially vaccinated individuals, and unvaccinated individuals. Unfortunately, Dr. Berry didn' t answer this question (though I assume others on the BOH would be able to provide the reasoning for such a choice) . I am interested in knowing those statistics, especially because we are being told that the vaccines make it less likely that an individual will be hospitalized or die from/with COVID-19 (and if we can use the data from The Leader, which one would assume comes straight from JCPH, we see that the majority of deaths, at least, are in fully vaccinated persons) . 5. Next, I asked about any studies that could show that there are no long-term side effects linked to these new vaccines. I thought that Dr. Berry' s response to this questions was rather interesting. I was not aware that the majority of drugs that have had serious long-term side effects were drugs that were used over a long period of time and that vaccines typically don' t produce such effects, and I think that that' s a strong point in favor of the vaccines. However, I also feel like it overlooks some key aspects of the COVID-19 vaccines. For example, Moderna and Pfizer use mRNA vaccines. As far as I' m aware, the COVID-19 vaccines are the only mRNA vaccines that have been used in humans. These are not traditional vaccines in any sense of the term. Comparing them to, say, chickenpox vaccines doesn' t seem to be the best comparison. Furthermore, as Dr. Berry noted, there is past evidence of long-term side effects resulting from vaccination. Another possibility is that 2 these vaccines might be responsible for ADE, which could pose serious threats to many people. Another consideration is that people are not just taking a "one and done" shot. Most people I know of have opted for a two-dose vaccine, and it seems as though booster shots are going to become more and more common. I would think that getting three doses of vaccine within such a short window (and possibly many more than just three times) would fit into the definition of a `drug' being used over a period of time. 6. Finally, I asked if Comirnaty was available in Jefferson County. To this, Dr. Berry responded that Comirnaty is available because the Pfizer vaccine is available, implying that they' re the same thing. I thought that this was the case for a period of time, but now I' m not so sure. Clarification on the following points would help me to better understand whether or not the two are indeed the same product. All of the following information comes from the FDA website. • "The FDA-approved Comirnaty (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA), made by Pfizer for BioNTech and the FDA-authorized Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine under EUA have the same formulation and can be used interchangeably to provide the COVID-19 vaccination series without presenting any safety or effectiveness concerns. " (https://www. fda. gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/qa-comirnaty-covid-l9-vaccine-mrna) If the two products are the same, why is one of them only EUA-authorized while the other is FDA-approved? I fail to see why one of them would be FDA-approved and the other authorized under EUA if they are the exact same product. • "Under an EUA, FDA may allow the use of unapproved medical products, or unapproved uses of approved medical products in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions when certain statutory criteria have been met, including that there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives. " (https://www. fda. gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/vaccines/emergency-use-authorization- vaccines-explained) Given the definition of EUA, if Comirnaty is FDA-approved, doesn' t that mean that the Pfizer vaccine no longer has EUA? What about Moderna and J&J shots? The fact 3 that these vaccines are still being administered makes it seem like Comirnaty is not "adequate" and/or not "available" ••• and if it' s the same as the Pfizer vaccine, that would mean that the Pfizer vaccine is not adequate••• and that would mean that Comirnaty is in fact not available. Are the rules being rewritten or am I not understanding them? • "COMIRNATY and BNTl62b2 (V8) have identical amino acid sequences on the encoded antigens but COMIRNATY includes the presence of optimized codons to improve antigen expression. " (https://www. fda. gov/media/151733/download, page 14) This heavily—redacted document seems to suggest that Comirnaty and the Pfizer vaccine are in fact not the same product, with Comirnaty including the presence of optimized codons to improve antigen expression. If one of them contains those optimized codons and the other does not, how can they possibly be the same product? And if Comirnaty is the one that has optimized codons and is therefore presumably better, why should anybody be injected with the other vaccine lacking said codons? It appears that many claim that the two products are the same 'with certain legal differences. ' However, I have a hard time believing this statement because those legal differences aren' t disclosed (if you know what they are, please let me know!). It seems like the only common knowledge legal difference is that one of the vaccines is called `Comirnaty' and one of them is not. What are the others? Another point would be what exactly is meant by saying that the two products have "the same formulation, " a phrase the FDA uses multiple times when comparing the products. What exactly does this phrase mean? If one vaccine contains the presence of optimized codons and one of them doesn' t, can those two vaccines really be considered to have "the same formulation" ? With those responses out of the way, I' d like to shift to the contents of the email I received and my response to what I read there. 1. I had no idea Dr. Berry was working 24-30 hours a week for Jefferson County. I' m assuming that would mean about 50-60 hours per week, if there' s a similar time commitment 4 for Clallam County. That' s a lot of time, and I understand why she hasn' t been able to respond to (my) emails! I wouldn' t be surprised if she was working quite a bit of overtime, too! While this is an impressive feat, I' m not sure it' s in Dr. Berry' s best interest to continue working with such a high time commitment. 30 hours for just one county would already be a full-time job, and I really don' t see how having two people to look over the two counties could be worse than just one. I did not know that Dr. Locke was the Health Officer for both counties for 17 years (if I remember that number correctly), which is also impressive, but presumably much more doable when not managing a pandemic. I' m not trying to offload Dr. Berry to Clallam County (alone) by voicing this concern (hopefully it doesn' t come across that way)--I honestly think she would be able to more efficiently serve as Health Officer if she wasn' t working so much, for whatever county. I don' t know anything about her personally, but I can only assume that serving in only one county would allow for an even fuller understanding of that county' s COVID-19 profile, an enhanced presence in that county, and probably improved decision-making (resulting from, among other things, a better sleep schedule). I only see benefits to working for just one county, but this is obviously something that Dr. Berry would know better than me (or anybody else) . 2. Regarding the Q&A with KPTZ—that' s about the same as what I' m getting through email. I do appreciate that you answer questions sent in through KPTZ, but the problem remains that there is no option for a follow-up to be asked, and as should be clear from this email, there are quite a few follow-up questions to be asked. 3. Regarding the masking studies I sent, I want to first clarify that I in no way meant to imply that there were only 12 studies demonstrating the inefficacy of masking. I' d also like to know if you have read those studies I sent yet. You give a long list of reasons why such studies might be discounted, and yet I would be quite surprised if you' d had the time to read through all of them in the short period between the last BOH meeting and the sending of your email, especially if you were engaging in a thorough review. The way that you worded your response to my email suggests to me that you are only assuming they are all flawed, without having actually looked at them (though perhaps I' m not correctly interpreting your tone, which can be quite difficult through when communicating through email—another reason why a live Q&A is much more beneficial). However, whether or not you' ve read them is not the main issue here, but rather the way you dismiss the studies. I think that if you looked into the `hundreds of studies' you' ve used to come to a conclusion about masking efficacy, you would find that most, if not all, of them would "lose a lot of weight when you dig into them and find that they were: a) not peer reviewed, b) not reproducible, c) poorly designed with significant confounding, d) under powered, e) had results that didn' t support the conclusions of the 5 authors, f) had falsified data, g) were not published or published in fake journals, h) were retracted, or some combination of all of the above. " As you have not furnished me with a list of the studies you are using (or even just a single study), I can' t point to any specific examples, but I think you would agree with me that most scientific studies can be improved. There is a lot to be said about the psychological effects of mask wearing, as well. And while talking about masks is important, I feel like looking at the science behind the vaccines (which can' t be undone or removed like a mask) is a much better use of time. 4. Consequently, I' d like to talk about those data tables I' ve been sending. You write, " [I]f the vaccines were not preventing transmission, we would expect.— 70% of cases would be in the vaccinated and 30% in the unvaccinated. The opposite is of course the case. " You mentioned the same statistic on KPTZ on Monday (I was listening) and it seems as though you' re referring to the figure which starts measuring since the start of February of this year. As I' ve written previously, this is a gross misrepresentation of the data and one that would no doubt earn a failing grade in any traditional science course. To make this point even more clear, I would suggest thinking about it this way: 100% of cases were in unvaccinated individuals in March of 2020. 0% were in vaccinated individuals. This, of course, is due to the fact that there weren' t any vaccines available in March 2020. Similarly, vaccines were not largely available (in Washington, at least) until mid—April, and those getting vaccinated then wouldn' t be `fully vaccinated' until May or June at the earliest (depending on the vaccine taken) . It is so clearly skewing the data to measure from February 15`, and it' s disappointing that not a single person on the Board of Health is willing to publicly acknowledge this. Furthermore, your statement that we would expect 70% of cases in the vaccinated and 30% in the unvaccinated (if the vaccines didn' t prevent transmission) is only partially true. Yes, we would expect that if the entire population of Jefferson County was tested. However, that' s not necessarily what we would expect to find in the test results because the population being tested is not necessarily a mirror image of county vaccination rates. In order to show that the vaccines are not effective, all we need to see is the same rate of infection in the two groups. 6 A For example: Imagine that in one week, Jefferson County—with 70% of people fully vaccinated and 30% unvaccinated—tests 70 unvaccinated individuals and 30 vaccinated individuals for COVID-19. 7 positive tests come back from unvaccinated individuals and 3 positive tests from vaccinated individuals. What would we conclude? Of the ten positive tests, 70% were in unvaccinated individuals, while only 30% of the positive tests were in fully vaccinated individuals. (This 70%-30% split is the figure Dr. Berry was referring to on Monday and in the email I was sent. ) However, this is misleading, because a greater number of unvaccinated individuals were tested. We can also see that 7/70 (or 10%) of unvaccinated people tested positive and 3/30 (or 10%) of vaccinated individuals tested positive; in other words, the infection rate is the same, and in this group, at least, the vaccine had no positive effect. In order to demonstrate that the vaccine is not effective, all we need to see is the same rate of positive cases in the two groups, proportional to the size of the groups being tested. In fact, the 70%-30% makeup of positive cases tells us nothing about vaccine efficacy! One more example: 1000 people are tested. 900 are unvaccinated and 100 are fully vaccinated. 80 unvaccinated individuals test positive, and 20 fully vaccinated individuals test positive. 80% of positive tests are from unvaccinated individuals, and 20% from fully vaccinated individuals. However, there were also 9 times more unvaccinated people being tested. And indeed, if we look at this more closely, we see that 80/900, or 9%, of the unvaccinated individuals tested had COVID-19, while 20/100, or 20%, of the vaccinated individuals tested had COVID-19. Even with 80% of positive tests coming from unvaccinated individuals, it appears as though vaccinated individuals are twice as likely to catch the virus! To sum this idea up, if the population being tested does not have the same vaccination profile as that of the population at large; (i. e. , 30% of people being tested are unvaccinated and 70% are fully vaccinated), it is not fair or scientific to compare them the way Dr. Berry is doing. And there' s good reason to believe that this is the case. Here' s a handful of reasons why unvaccinated people most likely account for much more than 30% of the people being tested: • More and more employers are forcing their unvaccinated workers to submit to regular testing • As per Dr. Berry' s health guidelines, the school' s have systems for testing students—this could potentially fuel a large number of tests in children aged 0-11 (who are unvaccinated), especially should an outbreak occur (and apparently there was one in the West End just recently) • Misinformation about people not being able to catch the virus after they' ve been vaccinated (Hi, President Biden!) can lead to fully vaccinated people choosing not to get tested even if they have symptoms, and especially if they don' t In short, if the population being tested for COVID-19 does not accurately mirror the population at-large (in terms of vaccination status), comparing the rates of positive tests from among the population tested based on vaccination status to the rates of vaccination status countywide is unscientific and tells you nothing. Let' s also note that roughly 70% of deaths in Jefferson County that have been attributed to COVID-19 have indeed been among fully vaccinated individuals, while 30% have been in the unvaccinated. 10/15 deaths (not including two in 2020, when the vaccines weren' t available) or 10/14 (further excluding one death in April involving someone who may or may not have been eligible for vaccination and who or may not have been vaccinated (the Leader didn' t specify)) is equivalent to 66. 67% or 71. 43% of deaths in the fully vaccinated. And if all possible COVID-19 deaths are checked to see if COVID-19 was the main factor.- this is a sample that' s reflective of the whole population. SO.- This means that JCPH must collect the vaccination status of everybody they test in order to support Dr. Berry' s claim that the vaccines are effective in Jefferson County. I don' t know if JCPH does keep that data—perhaps they only ask for vaccination status if there' s a positive test. If that' s the case, the data is not very useful (because it only considers information among the population testing positive). If JCPH collects vaccination status regardless of the test result (which they should be doing), the data should be recorded somewhere, and it is in the best interest of the public to see this data. If that data doesn' t exist, it needs to start being collected. (Otherwise our 8 Health Officer could very well be guilty of spreading misinformation, and we wouldn' t want that!) Hopefully this last point makes sense—I' 11 try to show up at the BOCC meeting on Monday to discuss this if I' m able to make it. Thanks for taking the time to read through this (rather long) email.

Original Message On Tuesday, October 26th, 2021 at 2:27 PM, Berry, Allison <aunthank@co. clallam. wa. us> wrote: Hi Mr. Gould, I wanted to write today to thank you for raising your questions to the Board of Health. I do think raising those questions in a public forum is very helpful so that everyone following along can benefit from the answers we share. I also want to extend my apologies that I' ve not been able to respond personally to your prior correspondence. We do receive an incredible amount of correspondence at the public health department, a volume which has dramatically increased in the most recent months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, the volume is just too great for me to respond to everyone who comments. However I wanted to carve out some time today to make sure you know that you are heard when you write. Thank you for spending what appears to be an significant amount of time crunching numbers on the COVID-19 pandemic. I wanted to take a moment to address those calculations as well as a couple of the points you made in your most recent correspondence with the Board. 9 In your most recent letter, you noted some concerns about the availability of my time. I wanted to share some information you might now have. The Jefferson County Health Officer has traditionally been an 8-10 hour per week position. Prior to the pandemic, that is the number of hours a week that Tom Locke worked. That is the amount of hours the position is expected to return to after the pandemic resolves. I am currently working approximately 24-30 hours per week for the Jefferson County Department of Public Health. The object taking up my time right now is the strains of the pandemic response: mass vaccination planning, coordinating our healthcare system including monoclonal antibody distribution, coordinating our school district response and safety protocols, engaging with local businesses on safety protocols, informational campaigns, contact tracing and outbreak management, and improving testing access across our community. These, and the remainder of my public health duties around water quality, environmental safety, other infectious disease control, and chronic disease prevention are what keep me from having the capacity to respond to all those who reach out to the Board. I am sorry this has meant that I cannot discuss your emails more directly with you. I wish I had the time to do that more. In your email, you do reference desiring a public Q&A and we do offer that weekly. You can submit any questions to KPTZ and I will answer them on air as I have since taking on this role. In your email, you also mention and to some extent misquote a discussion I had with the Board around misinformation. In that discussion, the primary point I conveyed was that an exhaustive literature review takes time and training. If not conducted properly, it can lead you to draw spurious conclusions based on biased studies or biased search criteria. A great example of this is actually the dialogue you shared with me around mask effectiveness. You cite dozens of studies which you report demonstrate that masks are not effective, which sounds convincing, unless you dig a little further. When you do, you' 11 find that dozens of studies don' t amount to much when they are compared to the hundreds showing that masks are effective. Those dozens of studies also lose a lot of weight when you dig into them and find that they were: a) not peer reviewed, b) not reproducible, c) poorly designed with significant confounding, d) under powered, e) had results that didn' t support the conclusions of the authors, f) had falsified data, g) were not published or published in fake journals, h) were retracted, or some combination of all of the above. Evaluating for all of these qualities is what is entailed in a proper literature review. And yes, evaluating for these qualities is part of io my training, and part of my role within the department. I certainly encourage all of our citizens to engage in this level of thorough review of the data we are presented with, but that is hard and very time consuming if done well. Another option is to listen to the thousands of epidemiologists like myself who have dedicated our lives to this work and providing you this service. Last, but not least, it does appear that the primary focus of your work has been around breakthrough infections. I wanted to share a couple key points there, some of which I shared on KPTZ on Monday. - One is that the percent of cases among those who are fully vaccinated has not been dramatically increasing and has actually stayed largely stable over the last several weeks. If we were seeing vaccine failure, we would expect that number to rise. - Further, if the vaccines were not preventing transmission, we would expect that the breakdown of infections among the vaccinated and unvaccinated would parallel the population levels of those two groups: namely 70%of cases would be in the vaccinated and 30% in the unvaccinated.The opposite is of course the case. - We consistently find that in state level data that those who are unvaccinated are 8x as likely to contract the virus as those who are vaccinated. - We don't routinely calculate the percentage of breakthrough infections or the relative rate of infection in vaccinated and unvaccinated people in Jefferson County because our population is so small that our population is so small that we cannot reach statistical significance. When you calculate rates without taking into account statistical significance,you run the risk of drawing spurious and irreproducible conclusions, unfortunately including those found in your email. - When you're dealing with small numbers like we do in Jefferson County, an individual event (like a long term care outbreak,or a daycare outbreak among the children of healthcare workers, both of which have happened here) can dramatically affect the results week over week and skew the data. But even that doesn't tell the whole story because in each of those events, it was an unvaccinated person who brought the infection into those spaces and then lead to large and unfortunately in some cases deadly outbreaks. That' s just a little bit of what I notice in your correspondence. If you have a deep interest in data, I would strongly encourage you to pursue a degree in biostatistics. It' s a fascinating field and having a deeper understanding of these statistical concepts will give you a much fuller understanding of the data you' re trying to access and the problems you' re trying to solve. Thanks again for reaching out. I won' t likely be able to continue this level of correspondence with you, but please know that we will be here, working hard on your behalf as we have been. it All the best, Allison Berry, MD MPH (she/her/hers) Clallam & Jefferson County Health Officer Desk: (360) 417-2437 aberry@co. jefferson. wa. us 12 jeffbocc From: Lynn Hisey <Ihisey@earthlink.net> Sent: Sunday, October 31, 2021 9:15 PM To: jeffbocc Subject: Redistricting ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

This "new" formulation (addition of a buffering agent) is a nothingburger, being used by low-information anti- vaxers to raise more unfounded panic. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-authorizes-pfizer-biontech-covid-l9-vaccine- emergency-use-children-5-through-11-Years-aqe Data Supports New Vaccine Formulation to Improve Stability and Storage Conditions The FDA today also authorized a manufacturing change for the vaccine to include a formulation that uses a different buffer;buffers help maintain a vaccine's pH (a measure of how acidic or alkaline a solution is) and stability.This new formulation is more stable at refrigerated temperatures for longer periods of time, permitting greater flexibility for vaccination providers. The new formulation of the vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc. contains Tris buffer,a commonly used buffer in a variety of other FDA-approved vaccines and other biologics,including products for use in children.The FDA evaluated manufacturing data to support the use of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine containing Tris buffer and concluded it does not present safety or effectiveness concerns.

We will cover some rules of thumb that you can apply to evaluate your small businesses to get an understanding of what a buyer may pay to take over your business. Three general types of valuations wil! be coved, income-based, asset-based and lastly market-based.

IMPORTANT EMPLOYER UPDATES FROM ESD: Paid Leave: Premium Rate to Increase in 2022 For the first time since Paid Family and Medical Leave launched, the premium rate will increase. This change goes into effect with Quarter 1 of 2022. The split of the employer and employee share of the premium rates will also change in the new year. Starting Jan. 1, 2022, the premium rate will be 0.6%: The new premium rate of 0.6% takes effect on Jan. 1, 2022. But for now, the current rate of 0.4% is in effect until Dec. 31, 2021. Employers will pay approximately 27% of the total premium and employees will pay about 73%. Continue using the 0.4% rate for the rest of 2021. But don't forget to withhold at the new 0.6% rate starting in January! If you don't, you'll be responsible for the difference during quarterly reporting. What's next • Update your calculations and withhold the new 0.6% rate starting in January. If you don't, you'll be responsible for the difference during quarterly reporting. • For your calculations, the employer share of premiums is 26.78% and the employee share is 73.22%. We will have updated resources available at paidleave.wa.gov for you and your employees before the end of the year. Stay tuned! Rate is increasing due to higher usage and reduced payrolls during the pandemic: Washington workers are finding value in Paid Leave. They are using the program as intended, and it's allowing them to take care of themselves and their loved ones when they need it most. • There has been high usage of the program this year, and family leave use was higher than medical leave use. • About 51% of our claims are for family leave and about 49% are for medical leave. This means we need to change the amount we collect in premiums for each type of leave. Reduced payrolls during the pandemic While overall usage has been high, the total premiums collected during quarterly reporting have been lower because of reduced payrolls due to Covid-19. WA Cares Fund: Premium collection and wage reporting: Beginning Jan. 1, 2022, you'll collect WA Cares premiums from your employees the same way you do now for Paid Leave—we're updating the Paid Leave reporting system on our end so you can report for both programs at the same time. Employers won't pay any share of these contributions for their employees. No payroll? No report. You do not have to file a report for quarters where your employees had no hours worked or wages. Tracking employee exemptions: Some employees may have chosen to apply for an exemption from WA Cares coverage. It's their responsibility to apply, and—if approved—to notify and give you a copy of their approval letter from Employment Security Department (ESD). Once approved, exemptions are permanent and employees can never opt back in. Once notified, employers must: • Not deduct WA Cares premiums from workers who've provided an ESD exemption approval letter. Note: this letter will list the effective date of the employee's exemption. • Keep a copy of their workers' approval letters on file. The EDC will be hosting an online zoom training to walk employees through the detailed process to receive an exemption from ESD.

"....the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)released the Physical Science Basis report from Working Group i 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. 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 1850-19oo,warming at a rate without precedent in at least 2000 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."

Individual & Family Open Enrollment Period The Open Enrollment Period (OEP)for individual and family coverage is underway and runs through December 15th for January 1st coverage. Whether you have coverage through the state exchange, Washington Healthplanfinder(HPF) or directly with a carrier, you should have received a notice of renewal. • Many people have been receiving additional benefits under the American Rescue Plan Act. Several of these benefits are scheduled to end upon plan renewal, though some will extend through 2022. One of the most popular 2021 plans in Jefferson County will no longer be offered in 2022. We encourage all existing Healthplanfinder customers to review changes in provider network, prescription formulary, tax credit eligibility, premium, and plan availability during OEP. • For anyone that needs to report an income change to take effect January 1st, these types of changes follow a 15th of the month deadline, so should be reported November 16th through December 15th.

ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. � P§ 14 i: . 1 �� ,II � �( . .4, �vpr: SOU R �ifr' ff N^ fi,�V Np sHIP U ETPART it Uf D NER The 2021 State of the Sound report shows our collective efforts to protect and restore Puget Sound have made a difference—but we still need to do more FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 1, 2021 MEDIA CONTACT: Kevin Hyde, 360.819.3045, kevin.hyde a(�psp.wa.gov 1 OLYMPIA—Today, the Puget Sound Partnership released its biennial State of the Sound report, which assesses the health of the Puget Sound ecosystem and progress towards its recovery. While Puget Sound is not doing well, there are signs we are making progress. "When tribal, federal, state, and local decision-makers work together to protect and restore Puget Sound, the ecosystem improves." While the results of our collective recovery work give us hope, we must "...redouble our efforts to ensure the scale of our response matches the scale and urgency of the problem." Global leaders are meeting this week in Glasgow for COP26 to discuss how to make real commitments to address climate change. As the 2021 State of the Sound shows, changing climate and ocean conditions are already influencing the Puget Sound ecosystem and the economy, health, and wellbeing of communities here and around the world. The message is clear—we need to take action now. "The 2021 State of the Sound shows that collaboration and partnership within the recovery community have made a difference for the ecosystem, particularly in areas where we have restored estuaries or floodplains or prevented the conversion of habitat," said Laura Blackmore, executive director of the Puget Sound Partnership. "But we need to do more. We have to take decisive action now and invest in salmon recovery, habitat restoration, and building the coalition necessary to achieve a healthy and resilient Puget Sound." In their letter within the 2021 State of the Sound, the Puget Sound Partnership's Leadership Council outlines five bold actions that we should take now to support a resilient Puget Sound ecosystem: 1) Work with the Governor's Office to make Puget Sound and salmon recovery the cornerstone of Governor Inslee's third term; 2) Establish a new funding source and increase funding for habitat restoration, road retrofits that reduce polluted runoff, and wastewater treatment systems; 3) Revise the State Growth Management Act and Shoreline Management Act with a Net Ecological Gain standard; 4) Broaden the coalition demanding a healthy Puget Sound; and 5) Implement systems of accountability to ensure our investments in Puget Sound recovery deliver the results we need. As the report shows, most of the Puget Sound Vital Signs—measures of ecosystem health—are staying the same or getting worse, and few of them have reached the ecosystem recovery targets that the Partnership set for 2020. Only five Vital Sign indicators are near or at their 2020 recovery targets, with 23 indicators below their targets. In the report, the Leadership Council presents key challenges that have hindered the progress of the recovery effort. The report also includes reasons why the Partnership is hopeful about the future of the recovery effort and our ability to solve difficult problems with collective action. These include the ongoing support of our federal delegation, the historic 2021 state legislative session, the collaboration shaping the 2022-2026 Action Agenda into a recovery plan responding to the scale of the challenge, and finally the passionate commitment we see across the recovery community. 2 The State of the Sound's call to action from the Leadership Council to the entire recovery community offers detailed actions that we can all take to accelerate the recovery of Puget Sound. The call to action emphasizes the ways in which we can do more to protect and restore habitat, clean up the water, cool our rivers and streams to improve salmon survival, and ensure there is local food to harvest. The Partnership has published the 2021 State of the Sound as a website that includes a downloadable version of the report with appendices. The State of the Sound website also features an accompanying video for the report. About the State of the Sound The biennial State of the Sound report helps our partners and decision makers better understand: (1) how well the recovery effort is going, (2) ecosystem health and progress toward Puget Sound recovery goals, and (3) the role each partner can play in achieving Puget Sound recovery. It also responds specifically to state statute (RCW 90.71.370(3)). This report reflects the work accomplished by hundreds of groups throughout the Puget Sound region, including governments, tribes, nonprofits, communities, scientists, and businesses. See www.stateofthesound.wa.gov. About the Puget Sound Partnership The Puget Sound Partnership is the state agency formed to lead the region's collective effort to restore and protect Puget Sound. Working with hundreds of government agencies, tribes, scientists, businesses, and nonprofits, the Partnership mobilizes partner action around a common agenda, advances Sound investments, and tracks progress to optimize recovery.

On October 19, the U.S. Senate passed the bipartisan bill. Companion legislation (H.R. 5735) has been introduced in the U.S. House. The bill would allow counties to allocate up to $10 million of Recovery Funds for government services and $10 million or 30 percent of total allocation (whichever is higher) for highway and transit projects and to address natural disasters. The bill would allow counties to use a total of over$27 billion for new transportation and infrastructure projects and over$17 billion for government services.

Below is the link to the FDA fact sheet where you will find (page 14) reference to the modified formulation of the product that is going to be injected into 5 to 11-year-olds. Pfizer is clearly anticipating clotting, stroke and cardiac adverse events, given the increases seen in the 12 to 18-year-olds. As I mentioned, historically a modification of this nature would have required a separate clinical trial (which would have taken years). This is a shocking dereliction of duty on the part of the FDA and CDC, given the statistically-insignificant threat from SARS-CoV-2 to this age group. https://www.fda.gov/media/153447/download https://mv.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/19820-tromethamine-solution-for-iniection The EUA requires informed consent. Will parents be asked if their child is taking any of the medications that are contraindicated in conjunction with tromethamine? Will they be alerted to the list of(at least) sixteen possible "mid-and long-term adverse effects from the COVID-19 inoculants" referenced in the following toxicology report? "Clinical trials for these inoculations were very short-term (a few months), had samples not representative of the total population, and for adolescents/children, had poor predictive power because of their small size. Further, the clinical trials did not address changes in biomarkers that could serve as early warning indicators of elevated predisposition to serious diseases. Most importantly, the clinical trials did not address long-term effects that, if serious, would be borne by children/adolescents for potentially decades." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a rticle/pii/S221475002100161X According to Pfizer, the number of participants in the current clinical development program was "too small to detect any potential risks of myocarditis associated with vaccination." Long-term safety of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine "to evaluate long-term sequelae of post-vaccination myocarditis/pericarditis" in participants 5 to <12 years of age will not be studied until after the vaccine is authorized for children," Pfizer's application noted. 1 https://informedchoicewa.org/covid-19/brea king-fda-pa nel-endorses-pfizer-shots-for-5-to-11-yea r-olds-experts-say-vaccine-for-kids-is- u n n ecessa ry-pre matu re-and-will-do-more-harm-than-good/ Think. sincerely, Annette Huenke PT 2 jeffbocc From: Washington State Department of Commerce <WAStateCommerce@public.govdelivery.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 2, 2021 8:38 AM To: jeffbocc Subject: Join a listening session for Energy Retrofits for Public Buildings Dec. 2 ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

Objection to Declaration of Emergency • The Moratorium declares an emergency,to wit: o ...the Board of County Commissioners concludes that an emergency moratorium is appropriate to preserve the status quo while it considers options for regulating these matters in the rural area, the urban growth area overlay, natural resource lands, areas containing critical areas, and shorelines... • Yet the Moratorium affects only lands that were platted before 1971,to wit: o The County hereby establishes an immediate moratorium on the acceptance,processing, review or issuance of any application for a permit for boundary line adjustment, binding site plan, plat alteration, segregations, or exemptions pursuant to JCC 18.35.040 and JCC 18.30.050, any application for an on-site sewage system permit pursuant to Chapter 8.15 JCC or any request for lot certification through any uncodified process or procedure, which requires recognition of a legal lot of record or a plat in existence prior to September 7, 1971. • I submit that the County has had FIFTY(50)YEARS (1971 through 2021)to deal with whatever problems might exist with old plats. • To declare an emergency to deal with a fifty year old problem is patently absurd. Objection to Changing Rules Midstream • The purpose of the Moratorium is to consider and formulate new rules,to wit: o the Board of County Commissioners concludes that an emergency moratorium is appropriate to preserve the status quo while it considers options for regulating these matters in the rural area, the urban growth area overlay, natural resource lands, areas containing critical areas, and shorelines... 1 • The County already has in place a myriad of laws, rules and regulations dealing with land use. • Any newly restrictive regulations on land use will adversely affect the value of the land for the property owner. o While new restrictions might not rise to the legal definition of a "taking," they would certainly constitute a moral taking. • The County needs to work within the frameworks already in place rather than pile on new regulations. • The entire Moratorium should be rescinded.

Jefferson Transit Core Values: Acknowledgment and Support Jefferson Transit is the product of the concerted efforts of the employees, the Board, WSDOT, other transit agencies and the volunteers who devote time to improving Jefferson Transit. We also acknowledge the citizens of Jefferson County, the tax payers, and our passengers for their support of Jefferson Transit. Thank you. Accountability We take responsibility for the direction and image of Jefferson Transit. We display fairness, trust, and good judgment. Shared Responsibility We are responsible for the direction and image of the agency. Communication We recognize that good communication, compromise, and diversity of opinion will strengthen Jefferson Transit. Professionalism We take pride in our skills and abilities to provide the community with safe, friendly and reliable transportation. We strive for a positive impact through our demeanor and appearance. Jefferson Transit is proud to present the 2022 budget to the public. We are committed to providing safe, reliable and SUSTAINABLE public transit services far into the future. Finance Manager's Message Jefferson Transit has been planning for the future of transit in Jefferson County, 2022 will see the Long-Range Plan (LRP) complete. The LRP will guide transit growth over the next 20 years. Bus service meeting the Kitsap Transit Fast Ferry to Seattle and the WSDOT Kingston/Edmonds ferry is scheduled to begin in late February 2022 (providing staffing is available). Changes are in the planning stages for increased bus capacity in the bus loop and passenger amenities at the Haines Place Transit Center. Construction is scheduled to begin in the Maintenance Department for a new Facilities Maintenance Building and a 3rd Maintenance Bay. Finally, Jefferson Transit is poised to begin work on retro-fitting the Maintenance and Administration Building with electric vehicle infrastructure for both service and revenue vehicles with an eye toward green- house gas reduction for Jefferson County. Jefferson Transit is planning to hire staff resources as well. Additional Transit Operators, an additional Field Supervisor, along with a replacement for the vacant Customer Service/Office Assistant position will be hired. Achieving a fully-staffed driver pool as well as filling other positions as employees have announced their retirement or left Jefferson Transit for other reasons has been a tough challenge throughout 2021. Staffing stability is a major goal of 2022. The term "unprecedented" has been applied over and over throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic to describe economic conditions and employment issues. At Jefferson Transit we saw the immediate impact the pandemic had on employees, on expenses, and on ridership. JTA experienced a phenomenal 23% turnover rate as employees retired or left employment on long-term leave. Since January 2021, we have seen a 17% increase in fuel expense as well as an overall delay in receiving goods and services. Finally, ridership is beginning to increase, but has not recovered to pre- pandemic levels. There is good news too. In 2021, we saw three months of the highest sales tax returns ever in Jefferson Transit history. Federal funding has been made available to transits across Washington State through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA). This funding enabled Jefferson Transit to responsibly restore service to pre-pandemic levels and retain employees. The funding also enabled Jefferson Transit to purchase disinfecting services and equipment to ensure buses are clean and safe. In 2022, we will use this funding to maintain current service levels. Jefferson Transit will remain vigilant to expense trends and we will maintain reserve funding levels that enable Jefferson Transit to responsibly respond during economic downturns. 2022 JTA Operating Budget JEFFERSON TRANSIT AUTHORITY Statement of Operating Revenues, Expenses and Nonoperating Revenues 2022 Operating Budget 2022 Budget Compared to o� � aP 2021 Budget 2021 Budget 2022 dget OPERATING REVENUES: PASSENGER FARES FOR TRANSIT SERVICES 37.48% $30,480 ) 1 OTHER TRANSIT FARES 0.00% CHARTER SERVICE REVENUES 0.00% 0 - AUXILIARY TRANSPORTATION REVENUES 0.00% Q .r7. i. ° 0.00% Total Operating Revenues 37.48% $30,480 $41,904 OPERATING EXPENSES: LABOR 7.2% $2,581,957 �$2 6 BENEFITS 6.0% 1,837,819 1� SERVICES AND USER FEES (5.5%) 404,765 "' MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES CONSUMED 2.7% 610,610 -- UTILITIES (1.2%) 89,053 �iii •. , ' iiti' CASUALTY AND LIABILITY COSTS (20.4%) 157,000 0tttt x TAXES 4.8% 4,592 ,, 812 PURCHASED TRANSPORTATION SERVICE 0.0% 0' m.0 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES 2.1% 220,030'' 0_= LEASES AND RENTALS 21.3% 23,216 s 50 Total Operating Expenses 4.5% $5,929,042 $6,194,454 OPERATING INCOME(LOSS) 0.00% $(5,898,562) $(6,152,550) NONOPERATING REVENUES(EXPENSES) NONTRANSPORTATION REVENUES (63.81%) $25,200' u' TAXES LEVIED DIRECTLY BY TRANSIT SYSTEM 5.93% 4,,720,000 �mv LOCAL GRANTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS 0.00% 18,000 t10 STATE GRANTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS 0.00% 250,464 FEDERAL GRANTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS _ (OPERATING) 204.96% 1,283,160, ..- , 3� Total Nonoperating Revenues(Expenses) 41.98% $6,296,824 $8,940,236 NET INCOME(LOSS)BEFORE TRANSFERS IN(OUT) 599.96% $398,262 $2,787,686 5 Capital Projects Work has been delayed on the Facilities Maintenance Building, but completion is planned in early 2022. The work on a Facilities Maintenance Building must be completed before the 3rd Maintenance Bay is constructed because it will block access to the current Facilities Maintenance shop. The final design and construction work on the 3rd Maintenance Bay at 63 4 Corners is scheduled for mid to late 2022. JTA is including funding for final clean-up work on the Mt Maynard radio project. The project is slated to be completed before the end of 2021; there may be some clean- up work that needs to be completed in 2022 on-site at 4-Corners Rd. There are several project expenditure lines that are considered "on-going". Those include Security Cameras, Replacement Bus Shelters, and Major Component Replacement. The major component line item was utilized in 2021 to purchase two new engines and a new tire balancing machine. JTA was awarded Capital Vehicle funding from the surface transportation program in 2019 to replace one bio-diesel fixed route bus. JTA planned to order this bus in May 2020 but the Department of Enterprise Services (DES) contract for buses was seriously delayed. This bus was finally ordered in September 2021. Most likely this bus will not arrive until late 2022 or early 2023. JTA won grant funding on the 2021-2023 Consolidated Grants Program for the purchase of one cut-away style bus for the Jefferson Transit Olympic Connection (JTOC). Utilizing state grant funding, JTA will purchase one battery electric converted trolley style bus from Custom Coach Works. JTA will also purchase one Dial-a-Ride (DAR) Cut-A-Way utilizing the same grant funding and one DAR Cut-A-Way vehicle with JTA funding. JTA will purchase two replacement electric service vehicles for Administration. The vehicles being replaced are a 1999 Mercury Mountaineer and 2010 Ford Escape. These vehicles will be utilized as back-up road check vehicles and as such will need to be all wheel drive vehicles. We have elected to go with two long-range AWD Tesla vehicles which are available on the DES contract for service vehicles. JTA will purchase a truck for Vehicle Maintenance, this truck will be utilized to travel to Forks for JTOC buses and to pick-up parts locally. This vehicle is a replacement for the truck purchased in 2013 that was later turned into a Road Call Response vehicle. Finally, JTA will purchase two Vehicle Lifts for the 3rd Maintenance Bay and a Tire Carousel. The 3rd Maintenance Bay project creates enough room to bring tire storage inside.

JTA has experienced some staffing instability in the Transit Operator ranks in 2021, we will continue to actively search for drivers for our Transit Operator pool in 2022. Ridership was steadily increasing prior to the pandemic. Ridership has not recovered to pre-pandemic rates. We are seeing an increase in DAR bookings, but fixed route ridership is about 50% of pre-pandemic levels. JTA went fare free during the pandemic and continues to ensure buses are clean and safe for our riding public. Revenue Sales tax receipts are projected to be 5.93% higher than budgeted for 2021. The breakdown for all of Jefferson Transit's revenue streams appears below. 2022 Operating Budget - Revenue by Type Farebox,0%_._....__w•_,., Auxiliary Services,0% Federal Grants,44% ..._ Sales Tax,56% State Grants, %___....

We need an additional Operator position to help fulfill the staffing requirements. We will also be recruiting for a Customer Service/Office Assistance and Field Supervisor position. Administration will be hiring apart-time staff person to assist the HR/Payroll Administrator with aback-log of work due to the recruitment challenges. .x: Position Pro ©Sed plan lt s _ h :a- ;:< : �, � a. �� _ram � . �„� ::,�ayae E,.' .

The Operations Department is the front-line department tasked with providing the safe, reliable, and friendly transit service for which JTA is known. Overall, the Operations Department budget has increased 6.5%. JTA is adding an additional Transit Operator and Field Supervisor position. Increasing the number of Operators is essential for the addition of the Kingston Express and ensuring there are enough operators to fill vacant pieces of work due to illness/vacations. We have also added funding to reinstate the Bus Roadeo Safety Program. The Bus Roadeo is an operator driving skills and safety training program/competition. Reinstating this program is appropriate given the number of new Transit Operators.

The Administration Department includes the General Manager, Finance/HR Manager, IT, Grants/Procurement, HR/Payroll Benefits Administrator, and AP/AR positions. Overall, the budget for the Administration Department has increased 1.7%. The expense funding has shifted between line items. The addition of a part-time position as well as increases for non-represented staff resulted in higher labor and benefits expenses. A large credit on liability insurance has resulted in a much lower premium payment in 2022. In 2023, it will result in a rebound effect with liability insurance expense increasing over 40%.

JTA will strive to update this fact sheet with current information. 1. 2021-2023 Public Transportation Consolidated Grant The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)distributes a variety of state and federal grants to support public transportation programs. They do this through their biennial Consolidated Grants process. WSDOT determines whether State or Federal funding is appropriate based on the applicant's description of the project and the applicant's ability to meet the grant requirements. Because there are different requirements for State vs. Federal funding, Jefferson Transit may be asked to spend more of one type of funding earlier or later in the grant biennium. This often differs from how it appears on the annual budget and may create budget variances in grant revenue. Additionally, the amount of Sales Tax Equalization funding Jefferson Transit receives changes annually(and is not known at budget time)which also creates annual budget variances.
