The documents were also not included in your November 1 meeting agenda when the hearing notice was approved for publication.

LOW iOUfCZ, TO PROTECT, PRESERVE, PROMOTE, AND UNIFY Utilities Committee Water Filtration and Chlorination I'Project i, System Startup and Chlorination yll The following announcement is from Olympic Water and Sewer, Inc. i Olympic Water and Sewer Inc. (OWSI) is pleased to announce that the filtration and chlorination project is scheduled to start producing potable water on November 1st. You will notice some differences to the water you are supplied in both service zone A (North) and service zone B (South). Service zone A will start to receive chlorine for disinfection only. Service zone B will receive chlorination as part of the filtration process and also for disinfection. In service zone B, arsenic that historically has remained under the state maximum contaminant level of 10 parts per billion by blending wells 14 and 16 will be lowered to less than 5 parts per billion. Manganese will be lowered from .08 mg/I to less than .015 mg/I. Benefits of a chlorinated water distribution system The filtration system will use chlorination for iron and manganese removal. Taste and odor control are also possible benefits of chlorination. Chlorine is also added for its "residual" properties. Chlorine remaining in the water supply is available to fight against potential contamination in water distribution and storage systems that might enter through leaks and pipe breakages. OWSI will be required to maintain a chlorine residual of 0.2 mg/I free chlorine. Chlorine does oxidize manganese so there is a possibility of colored water events. Those events should subside quickly. If you experience a colored water event please flush your water for several minutes to see if it will clear up. If it does not, call the OWSI line at 360-437-8242 or email OWSIOportludlowassociates.com and we will respond to you during business hours. (Construction of upgrades and improvements to the OWSI) water system are being financed by the Drinking Water State Revolving 2 Fund (DWSRF). The DWSRF program is administered by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) with joint funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Washington State. DWSRF programs operate around the country to provide states and communities the resources necessary to maintain and improve the infrastructure that protects valuable water resources nationwide. If you have questions or comments about this project please call and leave a message at the OWSI message line at 360-437-8242 or email at SI©portlu low ssociat s.co .

I want to affirm my position that your Alternative #1 option makes the most sense and is the most equitable of all options that have been discussed or put forward.To move outside of that option opens the door to partisan disagreements about precinct equity and added work load to many staff, boards and potentially elected officials within the county.The result of moving away from Alternative #1 would be, arguably, a marginal or minimal net result for a lot of added effort when trying to adhere to or honor the parameters or requirements of the process.Thank you for your attention, Dan Toepper Dist.3 PUD Commissioner JPUD Sent from my iPhone Public Utility District No. a of Jefferson County is subject to the Washington Public Records Act, RCW 42.56.Therefore, this email and its attachments, if any, may be disclosed as a public record.

It marks the third meeting in a four-part series of virtual town halls this fall. "With each town hall, we've gained a better understanding of the diverse perspectives of the broad community of people invested in coastal steelhead recovery," said Kelly Cunningham, WDFW fish program director. "This third town hall gives us another chance to hear any additional proposals from the angling community as we explore fishery options for the 2021-2022 season and respond to the chronic low abundance of coastal steelhead." Results from WDFW, tribal co-managers and the National Park Service stock assessments from the last 50 years suggests that coastal steelhead populations are in decline, with many 2021 returns not meeting goals for escapement, which reflects the number of steelhead surviving to the spawning grounds. Further, steelhead survival is poor when ocean conditions are unfavorable and future returns are expected to follow extremely unfavorable conditions. The Nov. 9 meeting will include discussion around fishery options for the 2021-2022 season. State fishery managers will consider feedback received during the meeting as they work with tribal managers later this fall to finalize management plans, which will help to guide the final fishery approach for the 2021-2022 coastal steelhead season. Following the Nov. 9 meeting, WDFW staff will brief the Fish and Wildlife Commission during its Nov. 19 meeting on anticipated approaches for the 2021-2022 coastal steelhead season. WDFW fishery managers will then share the agreed-to fishing plans for the coastal steelhead season and take public feedback during a final virtual town hall in late November. Last season's fishery restricted the use of bait and fishing from a boat, ultimately ending in an early closure to help increase the number of wild steelhead that return to the spawning grounds. Tribal governments took similar steps to help support coastal steelhead conservation and are expediting post-season analysis alongside WDFW to support earlier public engagement ahead of next season. WDFW continues to operate under its Statewide Steelhead Management Plan, which requires the department to prioritize the sustainability of wild coastal steelhead runs by focusing on healthy levels of abundance, productivity, diversity, and distribution. For more information about the Nov. 9 town hall as well as prior and future coastal steelhead virtual town hall meetings and other opportunities to get involved, please visit wdfw.wa.gov/coastal-steelhead. The meeting will be recorded and posted online so people can also watch the meetings afterwards at their convenience.

This Saturday evening, Wild Fish Conservancy and the Environmental Rotary Club of Puget Sound are teaming up to co-host a virtual movie night with proceeds going to benefit the recovery of the northwest's wild fish! THE SERENGETI RULES This Saturday November 6,2021 7:00PM - 10:00PM PDT Tickets$5 Virtual Screening Get Tickets We hope you'll join us fora screening of the award-winning and critically lauded 2018 documentary The Serengeti Rules. The film is a stunning cinematic telling of five unsung heroes of modern ecology whose insatiable curiosity of how nature works led them to the most remote and spectacular places on Earth where they discovered a single set of rules that govern all life. Across the globe, they discovered that among the millions of species on our planet, some are far more important than others. They called these species "keystones" because they hold communities of plants and animals together,just like a keystone holds a stone arch in place. Here in the Pacific Northwest, that's the role of wild salmon, known to support over 100 wildlife species throughout our region, from caddisfly to orca whales.Transporting vital nutrients from the protein rich ocean to the floors of our forests, the humble salmon is central to the health of food webs and a direct reflection of the health of our ecosystem as a whole. We hope you'll join us to learn more about the visionaries behind the 'Serengeti 2 Rules'. By purchasing a ticket or making a donation, you are helping to drive forward Wild Fish Conservancy's work to protect and restore the northwest's keystone species. Get Tickets&Donate! il -pro e tnilb ABOUT THE FILM Academy Award-winning Passion Pictures and HHMI Tangled Bank Studios present The Serengeti Rules, one of the most important, but untold, science stories of our time. In the 1960s, scientists discovered a single set of rules that govern all life. Now in the twilight of their eminent careers, these five unsung heroes of modern ecology—Bob Paine,Jim Estes, Mary Power, Tony Sinclair, and John Terborgh—share the stories of their adventures, and how their pioneering work flipped our view of nature on its head. Across the globe, they discovered that among the millions of species on our planet, some are far more important than others. They called these species "keystones" because they hold communities of plants and animals together,just like a keystone holds a stone arch in place. When keystones are removed, ecosystems unravel and collapse—a phenomenon no one had imagined or understood until their revolutionary discoveries. But with new knowledge also comes new hope, and these same visionaries reveal the remarkable resilience of nature—and 3 how the rules they discovered can be used to restore the natural world, from American lakes to war-ravaged African parks. Pop some popcorn, sit in your comfy chair, cast the movie from your cell phone or computer to your TV and enjoy an evening in to support wild salmon, the keystone of the northwest. A huge appreciation to our friends at the Environmental Rotary Club of Puget Sound for inviting us to co-host this event and for helping support our work.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Greetings County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, Please see the KPTZ listener questions listed below for Dr Berry(sorry Willie!)for Monday, November 8th update. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team 1. I am 78 years old and wondering whether I should get a full dose Moderna shot as a booster rather than the half dose, because of my age. My original two Covid shots were Pfizer- I would like to mix and match. Alternately,would it be a good idea to get the Johnson &Johnson shot as a booster since it works differently than the mRNA's I've had already? 2.We would like to know why restaurant workers are not required to get vaxed (2.a. "Employees of bars and restaurants who do not remove their masks at work are not required to provide proof of vaccination to their employers.")? Also, here are some small business compliance we have observed (understanding that this won't be pubically reported). La Taqueria (Kala Point) has allowed people in without proper ID,just a vax card. Bishop Victorian Hotel's new eatery-we had to remind them to check our documents and noticed only a random checking of other customers. The Rose Theater is doing a great job and is VERY compliant(have gone multiple times). The Silverwater Cafe was very compliant the night we ate there. Cafe Tenby was compliant. Thank you for your good work. 1 3. I don't understand why ventilation or moving air is always good. An unvaccinated person will be doing work in a room in our house. If I have a fan on it seems like it will just be blowing the aerosols around not getting rid of them. Wouldn't it be safer to let them settle to the floor? How long are the aerosols blowing around viable? One friend turns on the furnace fan but to me that would just put the aerosols everywhere in the house?True? 4. How can someone access the information to calculate the rate of infection for vaccinated people, in contrast to the conglomerate rate that we see on the Jefferson County website? 5. Is the booster shot open to the general population yet? 6. Is it realistic to think that we will return to the 1% positivity in tests, and the 75 per 100,000 metric,whilst the delta rages? Are the vaccinated hitting those metrics? 7. Last year at this time,we heard a lot about COVID being spread by people who were asymptomatic. Is that still the case with the Delta Variant? Is it more difficult to know because Delta is so much more infectious? I never hear about asymptomatic spread anymore. 8. My 32 year-old daughter got the Pfizer vaccine in January 2021. She is now 3 months pregnant. How important is it that she get a booster shot? ***Email may be considered a public record subject to public disclosure under RCW 42.56*** ***Email may be considered a public record subject to public disclosure under RCW 42.56*** 2 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Friday, November 5, 2021 1:00 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: County Virtual Assembly I November 8 From: Washington State Association of Counties Sent: Friday, November 5, 2021 12:59:28 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Kate Dean Subject: County Virtual Assembly I November 8 ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

The passage of the bill represents a major victory for America's counties, which will help rebuild our nation's infrastructure and economy by investing in locally owned infrastructure and preserving local decision-making. The bill, which now heads to President Biden's desk for his signature, will accomplish many longstanding county priorities, including: • A new, long-term surface transportation reauthorization for highways, roads and bridges, public transit and rail systems • Meaningful commitments to transportation safety and project streamlining • Critical new investments in water, stormwater and broadband projects • Increased investments in county owned bridges that are not part of the federal-aid highway system • Raising the cap on Private Activity Bonds, which will facilitate the construction of infrastructure projects, and • An extension of the Secure Rural Schools program for timber harvest counties for three years. The National Association of Counties (NACo) played an integral role in securing many provisions included in the final bill, which will support counties fulfill our vast infrastructure responsibilities. For more information on IIJA, visit NACo's Federal Transportation & Infrastructure Policy Hub for Counties. In addition to celebrating the passage of IIJA, counties urge the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the bipartisan State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Fiscal Recovery, Infrastructure, and Disaster Relief Flexibility Act (S. 3011/H.R. 5735), which passed the U.S. Senate unanimously earlier this month. If enacted, the bill would provide additional flexibility for the $350 billion Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (Recovery Fund) authorized under the American Rescue Plan Act. The legislation would allow counties to allocate up to $10 million of Recovery Funds for government services and $10 million, or 30 percent (whichever is higher), for highway and transit projects, and to address natural disasters.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Greetings, all. Below you will find four major legal challenges moving through the federal court system which attest to the fact that Pfizer's recently approved 'vaccine'Comirnaty is not available in the U.S., and what is in inventory is still under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA),therefore cannot be mandated. You would be mistaken to equate these lawsuits with the complaint against Dr. Berry which was determined by the state BOH to be frivolous. That board is not a judicial body, and it is totally biased. Is it possible that the federal courts will rule against these plaintiffs? Of course. The judicial branch is as corrupted and partisan as the executive and legislative branches. In any case,given the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling yesterday, and half of US states' AG's pushing back on the mandates,you can expect that the challenges will continue. You are not shielded from liability for the policies you create. Please do spend a bit of time reading the legal documents, as you may need to be familiar with them in the not-too- distant future. I remind you of this — if Trump was president, or our governor was a Republican, you would not be acquiescing to these unconstitutional orders. That is not debatable, and that is the tell. Sincerely, Annette Huenke District 1 1) "The core claims raised in the lawsuit ask the court to bar the FDA and DOD from using deceptive "bait and switch" tactics and to uphold the constitutional right of every citizen to refuse an unwanted, unnecessary and unproven vaccine. The "bait and switch" involves the FDA's approval of the Comirnaty vaccine, which is not available, while the FDA and DOD instead seek to administer the experimental, unapproved version of the vaccine (which cannot be mandated) to trick service members to forfeit their rights to informed consent"and to refuse an experimental vaccine." https://defendingtherepublic.org/covid/ 1 2) "...It could not be clearer that BioNTech is not FDA-approved and therefore, the vaccine remains subject to the EUA provisions of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FDCA"). "96. As a result, a mass misinformation campaign has construed the two legally distinct vaccines to be considered by the public-at-large as a single "Pfizer vaccine" —this is not correct. "97. The two Pfizer vaccines are legally distinct and include differences. For example, the two vaccines have different numbers of ingredients: COMIRNATY has eleven (11) ingredients while Pfizer-BioNTech has just ten (10) ingredients." https://www.voderesq.com/bidenvaxlawsuit 3) "...the FDA violated federal law when it simultaneously licensed Pfizer's Comirnaty vaccine and extended Pfizer's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for its vaccine that has the "same formulation" and "can be used interchangeably," according to the FDA. Despite DOD's claim that BioNTech and Comirnaty are "interchangeable," the FDA upholds that BioNTech and Comirnaty are legally distinct: "Comirnaty has the same formulation as the FDA-authorized Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and can be used interchangeably to provide the COVID-19 vaccination series without presenting any safety or effectiveness concerns. The products are legally distinct with certain differences that do not impact safety or effectiveness." https://childrenshealthdefense.orewp-content/uploads/CHD-v.-FDA-Submitted-Complaint-8.31.21.pdf 4) "The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act also protects the plaintiffs because the FDA-approved Comirnaty is not available to anyone in the U.S. Mike Yoder, attorney for the plaintiffs, said: "The DOD OIG COVID-19 Coordinator has confirmed that the Pentagon does not have COMIRNATY and does not know when COMIRNATY will be available." Yoder referenced a letter addressed to Pfizer, in which the FDA clarifies any uncertainty that BioNTech is labeled as EUA and therefore voluntary: "The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine vial label and carton labels are clearly marked for 'Emergency Use Authorization." https://vvww.voderesq.com/churchvbiden ***Email may be considered a public record subject to public disclosure under RCW 42.56*** 2 jeffbocc From: Kincaid Gould <kincaidgould@protonmail.com> Sent: Monday, November 8, 2021 9:23 AM To: jeffbocc Subject: Public Comment 11/8/2021 Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hello Commissioners, Sorry about the internet connectivity issues this morning. As mentioned in the comment, I'm also having problems accessing the recording of last week's meeting--I'm not sure if that's just an issue on my end (likely) or if there's something that needs fixing on yours(less likely, but possible). I am usually able to access these recordings quite easily.... At any rate, here is a copy of the public comment I wrote: In a recent email to me, Dr. Berry dismissed any evidence from scientific studies that might refute her COVID-19 policies by saying that these studies are quote, "not peer reviewed, not reproducible, poorly designed with significant confounding, under powered, had results that didn't support the conclusions of the authors, had falsified data,were not published or [were] published in fake journals, were retracted or some combination of all of the above," end quote. Late last week,The Leader published an article titled "County Health Officer: COVID-card mandate prevented local outbreak," which drew on data from an event that Dr. Berry relayed to this board last Monday—I'm using this article as a source because I couldn't make it to last week's meeting and was unsuccessful in loading a recording of the meeting. In an email I recently received from Commissioner Dean, I was also informed that, quote, "The research that local policy is based on is performed at a national and international level and is not up for debate at the local level," end quote. Alarmingly, Dr. Berry seems to refute this last claim by using questionable local data to support her vaccine passports, even when national data show lower case rates in states with fewer COVID restrictions, such as Florida and Texas. Dr. Berry's report is not a scientific study; nevertheless, she should still be accountable for ensuring the quality of the data and her conclusions. Unfortunately, it seems as though she forgot to check the considerations she mentioned to me (and which I mentioned earlier)when she gave her report. 1 For example: The data she cites are not reproducible. The data have been significantly confounded by a variety of factors, most egregiously that the "evidence" isn't measured against a control group; if all of the people present were fully vaccinated,there should not and can not be any comment on whether or not the mandate actually prevented anything—after all, it's possible that if 100%of people in attendance were unvaccinated, none of them would have caught the virus from the infected employee either. Further, it is unclear how it was determined that people were "not infected"—was every individual tested,or just symptomatic individuals? Did any or all of them have natural immunity? Is it certain that the infected worker didn't have a false positive? The data come from an underpowered sample, with numbers well under 500 people—a number Dr. Berry has argued is too small when she dismissed the data tables I had been sending you. The data, because they lack a control group to be measured against, do not show results that support Dr. Berry's conclusion. Despite all of these problems,we are expected to believe that these vaccine passports have prevented at least 60 cases and possibly several hospitalizations or even deaths.And to me,for whom the public health system has lost much credibility in the past several months and done little to earn back any trust,this significantly flawed report seems like nothing more than poor quality propaganda masquerading as science. Dr. Berry's data fails to fulfill at least 4 out of the 5 applicable criteria she listed, and so my question for the Board is why isn't Dr. Berry held to the same standards as members of the public.

ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. To those who made this unconstitutional mandate, I would like you to know that my family, husband , myself and my daughter made a decision to come out to Port Townsend and stay at the Menesra castle for a three day getaway. But unfortunately due to the mandate that requires a vaccination card we were unable to enjoy our stay and have food other than through a grocery store premade or a drive-through at a fast food restaurant. Part of traveling is enjoying the local cuisine and to enjoy the unique atmosphere of the local we are visiting and we were unable to do that. Due to this mandate we have vacated your county and moved over to a county that didn't have this restaurant mandate, and we have chosen to spend our dollars there. I hope you're willing to reimburse Minister castle for our shortened stay and Bayview restaurant for your mandate.

Anticipated Meteorological "Bomb" Documented by King Tide Team*New* r " j ....41 `�V ,s at .AR DNA S \ 9993 / f I it i-t 'r' ./''\The Local 20/2o King Tide team documented the tides and water levels on l0/2.'/21, during a rapidly developing low pressure system,referred to a meteorological"bomb".The event was selected based on the predicted storm surge and strong winds during a time of moderately high tide. Since the winds had largely subsided and the remaining waves were in the i'range,the wave runup appeared to be only about o.i'.With that in mind,this event was a good chance to compare the storm surge forecast to the difference between predicted and observed water levels at the tide gauge. In this case,the surge forecast was very good!See the post linked above for photos of the event and the full analysis. Local 20/2o Leader Column on Electric Vehicles and New Web Tools*New* JeffersonCAN.org Climate Action Now The October Local 20/2o Leader Column highlighted some of the many reasons to consider buying an electric car.It discussed how far they can go on a charge,compares costs,and notes rebates available.Also described are the wide range of electric vehicles available now-not just passenger cars,but SUVs,motorcycles,and pickup trucks!

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 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 1.850-i9oo,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. 9 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. County & City elected officials from WSF-served communities, Good evening. As you know, since mid-October, WSF has been operating on an alternative service plan, limiting service on every route. That decision, to increase reliability for our passengers, has allowed us to go from 341 sailings canceled due to lack of crewing from October 1-17, to eight from October 18-November 6. As promised when we went to the alternative schedule, when possible, we've restored service on a daily basis. To date that has meant nearly 800 additional sailings through last Sunday, November 7 (6922 scheduled, 7716 made). Now, as we'd committed, we're prepared to restore sailings beyond day-to-day. In coordination with our labor partners, who have been collaborative in seeking solutions, we have signed MOUs allowing us to move vessel crew members—engine room and deck—from non-operating vessels (tied up for maintenance and/or due to a lack of available crewing) to cover service elsewhere. This will allow us to begin long-term service restoration based on ridership and route needs in the following order: • Anacortes/San Juan Islands • Seattle/Bainbridge • Mukilteo/Clinton • Edmonds/Kingston • Fauntleroy/Southworth/Vashon (Triangle) • Seattle/Bremerton Due to crewing variables like seniority and vessel certifications/qualifications (we may not have crewing with the qualifications necessary for boats available for service), we're going to restore long-term service slowly, one route at a time, ensuring we can reliably do so before adding the next route, as defined above. We will continue to restore daily service while returning service more long term. As early as next week, we will trial restoring a vessel to the Anacortes/San Juan Islands routes, returning them to the 2021 fall schedule. Because this is a trial, ensuring we can reliably crew all assigned vessels there, we won't reopen reservations for the routes until we're certain we can do so. If that is successful, we will then move to Seattle/Bainbridge, and route-by-route, as reliable crewing agrees. i We will be messaging service restoration through traditional and social media and passenger alerts. We appreciate the public's patience while we work to restore service as crewing allows. As always, please let me know if you have any questions. Best, John John B.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear County Commissioner, Today, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is announcing the final revised designation of critical habitat for the northern spotted owl, which is protected as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). After a thorough review of scientific and commercial information and evaluation of public comments received on the proposed rule, we are withdrawing the January 15, 2021 rule which would have excluded 3.4 million acres of designated critical habitat through section 4(b)(2) of the ESA. The final rule excludes 204,294 acres of the 9.6 million acres of critical habitat, which is approximately 2% of the 2012 northern spotted owl designation. None of the exclusions are located in Washington State, but I am sharing for your awareness. This action will help conserve and recover spotted owls by identifying habitat needed for recovery of northern spotted owls in the long-term. Additionally, active management of forests and invasive barred owl populations to make forest ecosystems healthier and more resilient to disease, insect outbreaks and the effects of climate change, such as increased frequency of droughts and catastrophic wildfires, will be vital. For more information on this action, please see a copy of the Service's news release below and the attached FAQs. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Best, -Andrew U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Finalizes Revision of Northern Spotted Owl Critical Habitat The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is finalizing a revised designation of critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for the northern spotted owl. After a thorough review of scientific and commercial information and evaluation of public comments received on the proposed rule, we are withdrawing the January 15, 2021 rule which would have excluded 3.4 million acres of designated critical habitat through section 4(b)(2) of the ESA. This final rule excludes 204,294 acres of the 9.6 million acres of critical habitat, which is approximately 2% of the 2012 northern spotted owl designation. This action will help conserve and recover spatted owls by identifying habitat needed for recovery of northern spotted owls in the long-term. Additionally, active management of forests and invasive barred owl populations i to make forest ecosystems healthier and more resilient to disease, insect outbreaks and the effects of climate change, such as increased frequency of droughts and catastrophic wildfires, will be vital. "The importance of maintaininghigh qualityhabitat for northern spotted owls cannot be overstated in light of p g p g the challenges we're facing with climate change and increasing competition from the invasive barred owl," said Robyn Thorson, Service's Regional Director for the Columbia-Pacific Northwest. "This designation provides a healthy and resilient landscape for the spotted owl and other native Northwest wildlife while still supporting sustainable timber harvest." This exclusion includes 184,133 acres of Bureau of Land Management-administered lands allocated for timber harvest in 15 Oregon counties. Their revised Resource Management Plans for western Oregon incorporate key aspects of the Northern Spotted Owl Recovery Plan that will continue to help conserve and improve habitat for the owl over time on these lands. Additionally, approximately 20,000 acres of Indian lands are included in the exclusion. These are lands recently transferred under the Western Oregon Tribal Fairness Act to the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians and the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians. The northern spotted owl is protected as a threatened species under the ESA, and a critical habitat designation identifies those areas that are essential to recovery of the species. The Service found that the 3.4 million acres excluded in the January 15, 2021, revised designation would have left too little habitat to conserve the species, ultimately resulting in the extinction of the northern spotted owl. Critical habitat does not provide additional protections for a species on non-federal lands unless proposed activities involve federal funding or permitting. Critical habitat designations also do not affect land ownership or establish a refuge, reserve, preserve or other conservation area, nor does it allow the government or public to access private lands. The final rule is available online by clicking here.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is finalizing revised critical habitat for the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina), which is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This final rule will exclude 204,294 acres of the 9.6 million acres of critical habitat designated in 2012. We are withdrawing the January 15, 2021 rule, which would have excluded 3.4 million acres of critical habitat. The critical habitat exclusions for the northern spotted owl are composed of 184,133 acres of Bureau of Land Management(BLM) lands, 172,712 acres of which are located within the Oregon and California Railroad Revested Lands, referred to as O&C lands. Additionally, we are excluding 20,161 acres of Tribal land recently transferred under the Western Oregon Tribal Fairness Act to the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians and the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians. Why is the Service withdrawing the January 15,2021 rule? The January exclusions rule relied upon a determination by the Secretary that the exclusions would not result in the extinction of the northern spotted owl, based in part on a faulty interpretation of the science. Specifically, the Director and the Secretary overestimated the probability that the northern spotted owl population would persist into the foreseeable future if a large portion of critical habitat was removed and subsequent timber harvest were to occur on those lands. The Service finds in this final rule that while extinction of the northern spotted owl due to the removal of large areas of critical habitat in the January exclusions rule would not be immediate, its eventual extinction due to reduced critical habitat would be a reasonable scientific certainty. Basic conservation biology principles and metapopulation dynamics predict that those remnant and now isolated northern spotted owl subpopulations would likely die off without regular genetic and demographic interaction with northern spotted owls from neighboring subpopulations. Why was the 2012 northern spotted owl critical habitat designation revised? In 2013, the northern spotted owl critical habitat rule was challenged in court by timber companies, a labor organization, the American Forest Resources Council and several counties. After a ruling by the district court on standing and a reversal and remand by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the case was pending before the district court. On April 13, 2020, a settlement agreement was filed in the District of Columbia. Under the terms of the agreement, the Service agreed to propose additional areas for exclusion from the critical habitat designation under section 4(b)(2) of the ESA, and the plaintiffs agreed to dismiss their challenge accordingly. We published a proposed rule to revise critical habitat on August 11, 2020, followed by the January 15, 2021, final rule. On March 1, 2021, we delayed the final rule's effective date, and solicited public comment on issues of fact, law, and policy raised by the January rule to determine whether further delay of the effective date was necessary. On April 30, 2021, we extended the effective date again until December 15, 2021 to avoid placing undue risk on the conservation of northern spotted owl caused by allowing exclusions from its designated critical habitat to go into effect while the Service prepared a revision or withdrawal of the January 15, 2021, rule through additional rulemaking to address apparent defects. On July 20, 2021, we proposed a revised critical habitat rule that identified exclusions from the 2012 critical habitat designation. We simultaneously proposed to withdraw the January 15, 2021 rule that would have excluded 3.4 million acres of critical habitat for the owl. A 60-day public comment period on this proposal closed September 20, 2021. This final revised critical habitat rule affirms science-based recommendations of the revised Northern Spotted Owl Recovery Plan. How is critical habitat designated and/or excluded under the ESA? Section 4(b)(2) states that the Secretary shall designate critical habitat and make revisions based on the best scientific data available after considering the economic, national security or other relevant impacts of specifying any particular area as critical habitat. Additionally, the Secretary may exclude an area from critical habitat if the benefits of excluding the area outweigh the benefits of including the area unless the Secretary determines that the failure to designate such an area will result in the extinction of the species concerned. Under regulations implementing section 4(b)(2),the Service considers probable economic, national security and other relevant impacts of a critical habitat designation (50 CFR 424.19). We also consider other relevant impacts on proposed or ongoing activities. These can include, but are not limited to: (1)partnerships and conservation plans; (2) conservation plans permitted under section 10 of the ESA; (3) impacts to Tribal lands and activities; (4) and impacts based on national security or homeland security implications. What is critical habitat? Critical habitat is defined by the ESA as the geographical areas that have the physical or biological features essential to the conservation of a species and that may require special management considerations or protection. Critical habitat designations do not establish specific land management standards or prescriptions, nor do designations affect land ownership or establish a refuge, wilderness, reserve, preserve, sanctuary, or any other conservation area where no active land management occurs. Critical habitat areas can be actively managed in ways to support species recovery. In developing a critical habitat proposal,the Service first identifies areas within the range of a species at the time it is listed that meet the definition of critical habitat. Additionally, a designation may identify areas outside the geographical area occupied by the species at the time of listing if it is determined those areas are essential for the conservation of the species. Public review and comments are requested when critical habitat designations are proposed. What are the requirements of critical habitat designations? Federal agencies must avoid activities that jeopardize listed species and must ensure any action they authorize, fund or carry out does not destroy or adversely modify designated critical habitat. Federal agencies are required to consult with the Service on proposed actions that could affect a listed species or its critical habitat. In cases where proposed actions would harm a species or its critical habitat, we work with the agency involved to develop "reasonable and prudent" alternatives so a project may go forward. A critical habitat designation that includes private or other non-federal lands has no direct effect on land uses unless there is a federal nexus, such as an activity that is funded or permitted by a federal agency. However, identifying non-federal lands essential to the conservation of a species informs state and local government agencies and private landowners of the value of the habitat and may help facilitate voluntary conservation partnerships such as safe harbor agreements and habitat conservation plans. What criteria were used in designating critical habitat for the northern spotted owl? For the northern spotted owl, the physical and biological features include particular forest types of sufficient area, quality and configuration to support the needs of northern spotted owls across the species' range. This includes habitat for nesting, roosting, foraging and dispersal. How are critical habitat lands managed? The ESA does not require that critical habitat areas be set aside and left alone;they can and should be actively managed to promote the health of ecosystems. For the northern spotted owl, for example,the Service strongly supports active forest management where appropriate, even in critical habitat areas, if it helps restore overall forest health. The Service works in close coordination with the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management since most northern spotted owl critical habitat is on lands these agencies manage. The 2012 northern spotted owl critical habitat designation included 1,328,612 acres (537,670 hectares) of BLM lands and 7,957,787 acres (3,220,399 hectares) of U.S. Forest Service lands. One kind of active management that the U.S. Forest Service and BLM are applying in certain areas of critical habitat is "ecological forestry."This approach may include carefully applied prescriptions such as fuels treatment to reduce the threat of severe fires, thinning to help older trees grow faster, and restoration to enhance habitat and return the natural dynamics of a healthy forest landscape. What is the likely economic impact of the critical habitat revision? The Service completed a thorough economic analysis on the 2012 northern spotted owl critical habitat that evaluated timber harvest-related and other potential economic impacts. This report is available here. These additional exclusions did not warrant a separate economic analysis as we only proposed to remove (and are now removing) additional areas from critical habitat,thereby further reducing the economic impact. Why are additional Tribal lands excluded in the revised critical habitat rule? Tribal governments are sovereign nations with inherent powers of self-governance. In accordance with Secretarial Order 3206 (American Indian Tribal Rights, Federal-Tribal Trust Responsibilities, and the Endangered Species Act) critical habitat shall not be designated on Tribal lands unless it is determined essential to conserve a listed species. The Service finds this approach is consistent with the special trust responsibility the federal government has to Tribes to preserve and protect their lands and resources. Additionally, the Service recognizes that many Northwest Tribes have long worked to conserve and monitor species on their lands, making valuable contributions to recovery. Their efforts have supported forest conservation and maintained cultural values. Excluding Tribal lands from the critical habitat designation would have the benefit of promoting federal policies regarding Tribal sovereignty and self-governance and promote a positive working relationship between the Service and the Tribes, while having a very small reduction in the benefits of designation. The Service is committed to our ongoing collaborative efforts that advance the mutual conservation goals of the U.S. and Tribal governments. Why were some BLM lands excluded in this critical habitat revision? In 2016, BLM revised their Resource Management Plans (RMPs) for western Oregon. The management direction provided in the RMPs is used to develop and implement specific projects and actions during the life of the plans. In their revised 2016 RMPs, BLM incorporated key aspects of the recovery plan for the northern spotted owl, and the Service expects an overall net improvement in spotted owl populations on BLM lands under the RMPs. The BLM consulted with the Service on the effects of those RMPs, and in our resulting Biological Opinion, we found the BLM's proposed harvest over time of those areas allocated to the Harvest Land Base would not result in destruction or adverse modification of northern spotted owl critical habitat. Based on this new information available after the 2012 critical habitat designation, the Service is excluding 184,113 acres of BLM lands from critical habitat where programmed timber harvest is planned to occur under the revised 2016 RMPs. Were there opportunities public review and comment on this action? The Service sought public review and input when we proposed to revise northern spotted owl critical habitat on July 20, 2021. A 60-day public comment period closed on September 20, 2021. -F W S- Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2021 8:01 AM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: HCCC Board Meeting CANCELLED for November 17 at 1 p.m.; next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 15 at 1 p.m Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged From: Jennifer Poole Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2021 8:00:00 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Charlotte Garrido; Dave Herrera; Dave Ward; Edward Wolfe; Greg Brotherton; Heidi Eisenhour; Jeff Rimack; Jeromy Sullivan; Joseph Pavel; Kate Dean; Kevin Shutty; Liz Williams; Paul McCollum; Randy Neatherlin; Robert Gelder; Scott Brewer; Sharon Trask, Mason County Commissioner Cc: Diane Zoren; Gretchen Dunmire; Julie Shannon; Kaitlyn Floyd; Robyn Readwin; Alicia Olivas; Haley Harguth; Heidi Huber; Nathan White; Patty Michak; Terry Fischer Subject: HCCC Board Meeting CANCELLED for November 17 at 1 p.m.; next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 15 at 1 p.m ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

McKnight; Julie Shannon Subject: Sept 2 policy on shot cards for restaurants and bars in your county ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear County Commissioners-I am curious to know when you might be reconsidering showing the shot card at restaurants and bars in Jefferson and Clallam county as I'm noticing the new policy/declaration was dated Sept 2 and we are seeing COVID increasingly present/transmitted among those who have had the shot(s) now. We are no longer in a pandemic, we are in an endemic....the "state of emergency" is now really something that needs to be looked at long- term. Your policy is outdated (Sept 2) and needs to look at other factors such as: • Natural immunity and exception to those who can show proof of active antibody titres, which data is beginning to show a benefit from • There is also the small segment of the population who have a medical exemption from their provider and when I called the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce today,they did not know what to tell people who have that exemption, in terms of access to bars/restaurants, so clearly it wasn't thought through. • As you are aware, the shots do not prevent transmission, so requiring them to enter a restaurant is both outdated and discriminatory. We are Whidbey Island residents who would normally go to Port Townsend and patronize businesses there but now cannot/will not until your policy changes and I can't imagine we are the only ones who this affects. Neighboring counties such as Skagit and Island have not stifled their businesses with such draconian measures so I was surprised that Jefferson would (and Clallam). I would appreciate your reply, without falling back on "because the governor said we should do this" or"because we follow King County".
