Box 563 Port Townsend, WA 98368 Re: Jefferson County Parks & Recreation, District No. 1, Budget 2022 Dear Jefferson County Auditor's Office Representative: Below is an outline of the budget for fiscal year 2022 of the Jefferson County Parks& Recreation District No. 1, and as it pertains to the Laurel B. Johnson Community Center. The Board of Commissioners for the district has conducted a comprehensive analysis of the projected revenue and expenses for fiscal year 2022. The revenue values were calculated based on good-faith estimates of cash on hand due to the tax levy revenue (final deposits)from the second half of 2021 being an unknown value. If necessary, we will submit a revised budget containing final hard values of cash on hand at the beginning of the year. Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2022 Revenue Source Budget Expenses by Category Budget Cash On Hand $47,900.00 Elections, Taxes, & Insurance $4,000.00 Timber Harvest&Tax $1,000.00 Bldg. &Grounds $32,500.00 Maintenance/Repair Investment Interest $500.00 Utilities $4,200.00 Excise Tax $300.00 Consultants&Vendors $200.00 Levy(15 cents/thousand [0.00015]) $27,300.00 Marketing $600.00 Donations $150.00 Communications $1,800.00 Rental $50.00 Supplies $3,000.00 Stipend Positions* $2,400.00 Improvement Projects $8,500.00 Projected Reserve $20,000.00 Totals $77,200.00 $77,200.00 *Note: Stipend Positions Include:Secretary, Treasurer, and Building Manager Assumption: Timber Harvest&Tax, Investment Interest, and Excise Tax cannot be accurately projected.

PropertyTaxes are almost as high as our mortgage, why? I am beginning to panic as to how can I pay for the high cost of Insurance, Food, Vehicle Gas, Utilities, Higher Property TAXES, etc, etc. My Social Security is less, Medicare takes more out of it. Why can't you people work with the budget you already have and cut back, like we are forced to. Food bank is our only hope and most of the fresh foods, I wouln't feed my chickens — if I had any.

That the County Assessor has notified the Commissioners of Jefferson County Fire Protection District No.3 that the assessed valuation of real properties lying within the boundaries of said District for the calendar year 2021 is$1,476,658,627. 2. That the attached hereto Exhibit"A"(by this reference made a part of this resolution)be and hereby is adopted as the preliminary budget of Jefferson County Fire Protection District No.3 for the calendar year 2022. 3. That the Honorable Board of County Commissioners of Jefferson County,Washington be and are hereby requested to make a levy for said Jefferson County Fire Protection District No.3 of$1,812,723.56 4. That the County Treasurer of Jefferson County,Washington,be and is hereby authorized and directed to deposit and sequester the monies received from the collection of the tax levy specified in Section 3 above in the amounts on funds specified below: $1,812,723.53 into the Current Expense Fund of said District(659.003.010) 5. That one copy of this resolution together with Exhibit"A" is to be delivered to each of the following: Board of County Commissioners and Treasurer of Jefferson County,Washington. 6. That Pursuant to RCW 84.52.125,as amended by chapter 196 of the Laws of 2017 it is the intent of the fire district/regional fire authority,acting by and through its board of commissioners,to protect the district's/regional fire authority's tax levy from prorationing under RCW 84.52.010(2), by imposing up to a total of twenty-five cents($0.25)per thousand dollars of assessed valuation of the tax levies authorized under RCW 52.16.140 and RCW 52.16.160[RCW 52.26.140 for RFA's],or either of them,outside of the five dollars and ninety cents per thousand dollars of valuation limitation established under RCW 84.52.043(2),if those taxes would otherwise be prorated under RCW 84.52.010(2)(e). Further, pursuant to RCW 84.55.092,it is the intent of the fire district commissioners to protect the fire district's future levy capacity. Therefore, in any year in which the district reduces the regular tax levy below the amount of levy to which the district is entitled by law,consistent with existing voter authorizations and the limitations of the state constitution and statutes,it is the district's intent to fully preserve future levy capacity as the aforesaid statute allows. The county assessor is therefore requested to set the regular property tax levy at the amount which would be allowed under RCW 84.55,as if the regular property tax for the district for taxes due in prior years(beginning with 1986) had been set for the full or maximum amount authorized under the law. Adopted at a meeting of the Board of Commissioners,Jefferson County Fire Protection Dist o.3,this9th day c` November,2021.

Property Tax Increase Resolution:General Levy Resolution No.2021-05 ADOPTED at a meeting of the Board of Commissioners,Jefferson County Fire Protection District No.3,this 9th day of November,2021. SIGNED: 1~ BY: i f BY: °✓' Commissioner Gene Carmody,Chairperson Commissioner Robert Pontius,Vi Chairperson BY: ("Zuvi e frBY: Commissioner Raelene Rossart Commissioner Ron Helm nds BY: Commissioner Ed Davis ATTEST: By: Gene Carmody, Commissioner, District Secretary JEFFERSON COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT No. 3 RESOLUTION No. 2021-06 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSIONERS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT No.3 AS FOLLOWS: 1. That the County Assessor has notified the Commissioners of Jefferson County Fire Protection District No.3 that the assessed valuation of real properties lying within the boundaries of said District for the calendar year 2021 is$1,480,879,140. 2. That the attached hereto Exhibit"B"(by this reference made a part of this resolution)be and hereby is adopted as the preliminary budget of Jefferson County Fire Protection District No.3 for the calendar year 2022. 3. That the Honorable Board of County Commissioners of Jefferson County,Washington be and are hereby requested to make an Emergency Medical Services levy for said Jefferson County Fire Protection District No.3 of$649,075.61 for collection in 2022. 4. That the County Treasurer of Jefferson County,Washington, be and is hereby authorized and directed to deposit and sequester the monies received from the collection of the Emergency Medical Services tax levy specified in Section 3 above in the amounts and funds specified below: $649,075.61 into the Current Expense Fund of said District(660.003.100) 5. That one copy of this resolution together with Exhibit"B" is to be delivered to each of the following: Board of County Commissioners and Treasurer of Jefferson County,Washington. 6. That Pursuant to RCW 84.52.125,as amended by chapter 196 of the Laws of 2017 it is the intent of the fire district/regional fire authority,acting by and through its board of commissioners,to protect the district's/regional fire authority's tax levy from prorationing under RCW 84.52.010(2), by imposing up to a total of twenty-five cents($0.25)per thousand dollars of assessed valuation of the tax levies authorized under RCW 52.16.140 and RCW 52.16.160[RCW 52.26.140 for RFA's],or either of them,outside of the five dollars and ninety cents per thousand dollars of valuation limitation established under RCW 84.52.043(2),if those taxes would otherwise be prorated under RCW 84.52.010(2)(e). Further, pursuant to RCW 84.55.092,it is the intent of the fire district commissioners to protect the fire district's future levy capacity. Therefore, in any year in which the district reduces the regular tax levy below the amount of levy to which the district is entitled by law,consistent with existing voter authorizations and the limitations of the state constitution and statutes, it is the district's intent to fully preserve future levy capacity as the aforesaid statute allows.

This modernization project improves emergency alert systems that provide critical alerts and warnings to the public. The KIRO-AM facility serves as a Primary Entry Point(PEP)station for FEMA's National Public Warning System (NPWS), maintained under FEMA's Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), and provides critical information to the public before, during and after incidents and disasters. 1 Under the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System Modernization Act enacted in 2015, Congress required FEMA to upgrade PEP stations across the country to ensure continuity of terrestrial broadcast services under all hazards. PEP stations are specially designated NPWS broadcast stations that serve as the primary intake source of initial broadcasts for a national alert. FEMA equips these stations, which are operated by local station personnel, with backup communications equipment and power generators that enable them to continue broadcasting information to the public during and after an emergency, including conveying official alerts to communities regionally and nationwide. These free-standing emergency studios, located at the radio transmitter sites, are specially designed and hardened to withstand various natural disasters and acts of terrorism. This helps ensure that the President can alert and warn the public under all conditions. Currently, there are 77 PEP stations that are capable of reaching 90 percent of the U.S. population. KIRO-AM is the 14th PEP station to complete the all-hazards upgrade.The modernization to the emergency studio includes increased sheltering capabilities, expanded broadcast capacity, and sustainable power generation for all types of hazardous events, increasing KIRO-AM's resiliency to continue broadcasting during emergencies. "It's an honor for Bonneville Seattle to serve the community and we are proud to partner with FEMA. We share and salute the agency's commitment to protecting the public," said Darrell Brown, President, Bonneville International. "Radio is a lifeline, and the new studio and continued investment will ensure KIRO-AM 710's resiliency during times of crisis when communication is vital." "For generations, the KIRO-AM signal has been designated by the federal government as the one to broadcast critical information in case of a major disaster," said Cathy Cangiano, Senior VP/Market Manager, Bonneville Seattle. "It's a responsibility we take seriously. We are committed to getting out lifesaving information when our region needs us." If required, and in a national worst-case scenario, KIRO-AM would broadcast a message from the President or other national authorities within 10 minutes. Via FEMA's Emergency Alert System, other radio stations in the Seattle area would begin re-broadcasting the information coming from KIRO and its news staff. Local authorities, such as the King County Office of Emergency Management, may also disseminate life-saving information by way of the new facilities installed at the KIRO tower site. FEMA, KIRO and King County are partners in distributing life-saving emergency information to the public. FEMA and Bonneville Seattle will hold an event on Friday, November 19, 2021, (11 a.m. to 1 p.m. PT)to unveil the upgraded KIRO-AM transmitter and PEP Site (22805 Dockton Road SW, Vashon, WA 98070.)The news conference will include FEMA and local officials, as well as a live demonstration from KIRO-AM 710 on-air hosts.

Maintenance crews were reassigned from Port Orchard and Aberdeen to assist with clearing the remaining three closures across the Olympic Peninsula. US 101 at Lake Crescent US 101 at Lake Crescent is closed between mileposts 220 and 231 due to water and debris over the roadway. Crews will again operate a one-way alternating pilot car through the closure from 3 p.m. Thursday,Nov. 18 until 9 a.m. Friday, Nov. 19.US 101 at Lake Crescent will close again at 9 a.m. on Friday,Nov. 19 to allow crews to resume work. Future pilot car travel will be offered as work progresses. WSDOT will provide information related to Lake Crescent as it's available. Travelers should consider alternate routes. Commercial trucks over 10 feet wide or overweight loads are prohibited during the pilot car operation. During the closure, commercial trucks going to Forks will need to use US 101 north form Aberdeen. US 101 south of Forks, milepost 185 i US 101 south of Forks reopened to one-way alternating travel at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17. Engineering geologists cleared the roadway for reopening and a long-term fix is being prepared. As a reminder, the US 101 Elwha River Bridge reopened at 9:52 a.m. on Wednesday,Nov. 17 after crews performed an in-depth inspection. SR 112 Crews reopened SR 112 from milepost 0 near Neah Bay to milepost 11 on Nov. 17. Maintenance crews cleared 14 sites within the 11-mile stretch. Flooding of the Hoko River prevented crews from accessing and evaluating damage west of milepost 12 until Tuesday evening. Crews removed debris from small slides and cleared drainage culverts to prevent flowing of further debris and damage to the roadway. Two other slides have closed SR 112 at milepost 15.8 (between Clallam Bay and Sekiu) and milepost 32 (Jim Creek). Engineering geologists have evaluated both locations and have begun preparing a long-term fix. We need your help Crews are working as fast and safely as possible to reopen our highways. Some closures may reopen as a single lane at first while more work takes place. Do not go beyond road closures for everyone's safety.

ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Mr.Yanoff Thanks again for taking the time to write. I know County Commissioners are working hard on the issue of housing/affordable housing (and on a number of fronts at that)—and the City is a part of the County—but the Madrona Ridge development is something in City jurisdiction so I'll briefly respond. I think some of my previous comments/emails from our earlier conversations hold true here again too, but I'll add a few quick points: • A brief synopsis of our approach to housing can be found here: https://cityofpt.us/engagept/page/housing • The City bases development decisions on existing land use code and zoning, among other things—more details can be found here (Comprehensive Plan Housing element) and here (zoning) • I'll note that we can't directly control who buys property and intends to develop it as well as how they intend to develop it beyond application of our current code. If you have suggestions for how to alter our code (without coming up against state or federal law)to get to your points, I'm all ears. • One particular project that's emerging is our investigation of an affordable/workforce project and this has been aired at the City Council's Infrastructure and Development Committee (a bit more here). I hope you can get excited about such an approach and it shows that we're actively trying to find solutions, including leveraging our strengths (e.g., infrastructure development). • We do a number of other things,too—for instance,the City defers and waives fees associated with infrastructure and permitting for affordable housing to lower the cost barrier. Finally, I believe that,while local governments play significant roles, it takes a whole community to get to where we need to go. Look forward to your active participation in that!

Dear Jefferson County Commissioners, I recently became aware of the proposed Madrona Ridge development in the Discovery Rd/Ranier St area, and the proposed property tax hike. I am concerned such proposals may intensify Port Townsend's affordable housing crisis and failure to support working families and those with fixed and limited incomes.These are some of our most pressing problems. Can you lead the way to solutions? For example,to support affordable housing, new housing developments should be as high density as possible and include ample small and multi-family units, integrate into existing neighborhoods, and property taxes should be structured to sustain home owners with limited incomes and to help curtail the soaring property values that have been making our community less liveable and accessible. In addition,to align with community values housing development should create and preserve open space and natural areas. Non- inclusive housing development and fueling the current runaway real estate market is not in the public interest and a bad option for increasing public revenue. Please explain how the Madrona Ridge development and increased property taxes are promoting affordable housing? Please find alternative ways to increase revenue while supporting affordable housing and sustaining our community and its values.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Commissioners, I just read that the Jefferson County Board of Health is considering another mask mandate for indoor locations as the Holiday's approach. Luckily a good portion of my family's travels occur throughout the Denver Metro area and I am not forced to spend any money within the county that I live in. Should the Board of Health, or Dr. Comstock or whichever unelected person within Jefferson County decide to reinstate an indoor mask mandate on non-government owned property, rest assured all of our spending within the county will stop. There are several King Soopers in Douglas County. As we have not begun our Christmas shopping yet,we can easily avoid the Mills Mall and shop at other malls. Driving across county lines to eat in restaurants that don't require a mask for a 5 second walk to a table is also a simple solution. I'm sure one family's decision to refrain from spending money within the county is of little concern to the board of health and possibly you commissioners as well, we do however have social media accounts with links to groups that have a larger presence within the county and who do share our same values. Banners and slogans within these social sites, encouraging residents to shop in other counties may have an effect. I respect an individual business's right to demand a mask, I just can't support another ineffectual Government mandate that takes away a private business owners right to choose how to run their business.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Greetings County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, There were fewer questions submitted to KPTZ this week, but number 3 is a doozy! The author of these multiple questions was informed that not all of the questions may be answered during this update. I can re-send the unanswered questions for the November 29th update, if needed. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Berry: 1. Where in Jefferson County ca I get a PCR test to enter Canada? Do I need appointment? Thank you! 2. I have two vaccinated friends who see a Chiropractor who is not vaccinated, does not wear a mask and makes patient masking "optional". I was quite shocked. Isn't this very risky and is there any action the Health Department could take? 3.The following submission has multiple questions: I represent a church congregation of 230 members.We have a hybrid service, with an attendance of 50 to 60 people meeting in person for Sunday services. Our sanctuary is large with the high ceilings of Victorian architecture. Our safety protocol sets a high bar. It includes masking and distancing, no choir or congregational singing and no eating or drinking within the building. We reopened our doors in July, 2021. Masks and sanitizer are provided. Cleaning practices are well considered. I believe everyone, except for one, who attends services, is vaccinated.A limit of 90-100 may be in the sanctuary at a time. (We have had one on-site memorial service with only soloist singing; it required proof of vaccination and attendance was limited to 90 participants)As far as we know we have had no infections within this group. A church with no singing except for a soloist is a church suffering. With Christmas upon us we would very much like to begin having our choir(which sits in a loft far from the congregation) and congregational singing return. Do the following ideas meet with your approval? The choir can sing, masked and three feet apart.A record must be kept of every performance or rehearsal for contact tracing. 1 There can be congregational singing with all participants masked. A soloist may sing unmasked with 15 feet distancing. There is a question regarding masks for both choir members and members of the congregation. Performer's masks are now available.They are larger, allowing for more comfortable singing.They all seem to be cloth but three ply are available. What are your feelings about singers using these three-ply if properly worn, well made and well fitting?At the least, may they wear a three-ply procedural mask? May the congregation wear their own masks when participating in hymn singing or should they be given three-ply procedural masks which would be supplied by the church? Fellowship time is right up there with singing when it comes to the vitality of a church. May we start serving food and drink within the building? If so, what are the limits?Should this just be coffee and cookies, or can it be sit-down dinner, distanced around tables? Perhaps there is something in between. Do the blowers providing heat need to be turned off during gatherings? Do we still need to distance if wearing masks?We believe all members who attend but one is vaccinated, but we have a few visitors each Sunday with unknown vaccination status. With more visitors expected for services during Advent and Christmas do we need to take other precautions? I am very grateful for your help as we move into this special and important religious season. After months of no congregational or choir singing,the gift of choral music, including carol singing, would be the best Christmas present we could receive. Thank you. 2 jeffbocc From: Kincaid Gould <kincaidgould@protonmail.com> Sent: Friday, November 19, 2021 2:07 PM To: Board of Health;jeffbocc; Berry, Allison; aberry@co.clallam.wa.us Subject: Comment 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, Dr. Berry, Board of Health, Regrettably, I was unable to make it to the latest BOH and BOCC meetings due to family obligations(and no, that's not a euphemism for vaccine-induced Bell's Palsy). In a recent email to the BOCC, I noted that I was unable to access a video recording of a previous meeting—that problem has been resolved. However, I am concerned about the recording of yesterday's BOH meeting.The recording is of worse quality than usual and seems to be missing large portions of video— is there anyway that this could be remedied? I understand that technical difficulties happen, but I would appreciate being able to watch a better recording of the meeting if at all possible.

If a child was given the first dose on October 29, 2021 (which is unlikely), and was able to get the second dose two weeks later(November 12, 2021),they would still not be "fully vaccinated" until next Friday, November 26, 2021. 2 It is therefore pertinent to account for the fact that children still cannot yet be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by removing all children aged 0-11 from the above data tables. There are 176 cases in children aged 0-11 since March of 2020. As of August 19, 2021,there were 63 positive tests of COVID-19 found in children aged 0-11. 176-63=113.Therefore, it makes sense to remove 113 cases from the TOTAL row in the above data table, and 113 cases among the unvaccinated (as none of these children could be vaccinated).The bottom row of the data table, adjusted to reflect this,would therefore be: TOTAL 616 299 48.5% 51.5% 43.5% Let's also note that the most recent week's data includes 37 cases, 7 in the "not fully vaccinated" and 30 in the fully vaccinated.There were 6 cases in children aged 0-11 this last week.That means that the data could more accurately show that there were in fact 31 cases in people eligible for vaccination and who could possibly be fully vaccinated, and that 30 of them (or 97%) were in the fully vaccinated. Interesting! It is possible that some children aged 0-11 are fully vaccinated or were fully vaccinated when they tested positive, as people may have lied about their age to get vaccinated sooner. However, I doubt that this is the case for many of these cases because I would expect the people administering vaccinations to verify that the people being given vaccines were indeed old enough and because I hope that parents wouldn't try to rush their kids into getting vaccines that were not even given EUA(much less full approval from the FDA). However, even if you disagree with removing children aged 0-11 from these data tables (and I don't see why anybody would object to that, especially because at least some percentage of these numbers include children aged 0-4, who still aren't eligible for vaccination), the numbers that Dr. Berry keeps reporting are not reflected by the data. And as I mentioned in a previous email,these numbers aren't even important.Without further information on what percentage of people being tested are fully vaccinated and what percentage is unvaccinated,these numbers don't tell us anything about whether or not the vaccine works at preventing transmission. But then again, that number isn't all that important either because we know that the vaccines do not stop transmission or infection, nor do they prevent hospitalization or death. If the vaccines reduce hospitalization and death,we should see those numbers reflected in the data.And because JCPH refuses to publish that data,the claim is unsubstantiated and it is not fair—and dangerous—to say that the vaccines reduce hospitalization or death. 3 I cannot understand why you refuse to press JCPH to release this information, especially when we see that deaths exactly mirror the county's breakdown of fully vaccinated and not fully vaccinated individuals, with 70%of deaths in the vaccinated and 30% in the unvaccinated. The fact that older people who are vaccinated are dying is not an excuse; after all, this is the age group that is most likely to die from the virus in the first place.Vaccine trial data show that no effort was made to optimize the vaccine for the elderly, even though it was clear from the start that the elderly are the people who are dying from this virus. The fact that it's always a "not fully vaccinated" person who gives a fully vaccinated person COVID-19 is also unimportant, especially in the case of a large outbreak. First of all, it sounds like this is a way to blame an unvaccinated individual for infecting dozens of people, even if they were only in contact with maybe one of them. If an unvaccinated individual infects one fully vaccinated caregiver and that fully vaccinated person goes on to infect a dozen fully vaccinated people,that is not the fault of the unvaccinated individual, and saying it is makes no sense. And furthermore, where did the unvaccinated individual get COVID from?An unvaccinated person?A vaccinated person?Why is this never addressed?You obviously have to get COVID from somewhere, so saying that an unvaccinated person caused an outbreak by infecting a vaccinated individual(s) is really appears to be nothing more than a tactic for shaming the unvaccinated. And the whole notion that public health is blaming the people who haven't taken the vaccine for vaccinated people getting sick is pathetic. "My vaccine didn't work because you didn't get vaccinated," is, perhaps,the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Maybe what Dr. Berry and JCPH are saying is true, and the vaccines really are effective; maybe it's not. Frankly, I hope that they are and that I'm wrong and misguided. But more and more problems are showing up everyday and they continue to be swept under the rug.There should be no problem with me (or anybody)asking for public officials to be held accountable and provide proof of what they're saying. I was prepared to ask Dr. Berry about COVID cases worldwide (because for some reason local data isn't relevant when making local decisions) at the last meeting, hoping that she could explain something. Here's what I had written up: China and India are the two most populated countries in the world, with about 36%of the world population living in those two countries alone.The World Health Organization divides the world into several different regions. China is a part of the Western Pacific Region and India is part of the South-East Asia Region. Many more countries, including Bangladesh, Indonesia,the Philippines,Australia and more, are also part of these two regions. According to the WHO's Weekly Epidemiological Update on COVID-19 published on 16 November 2021, the regions of South-East Asia and the Western Pacific accounted for just 10%of global cases in the last 7 days. 4 • The African and Eastern Mediterranean Regions, which are made up of the African continent and parts of the Middle East, and are home to over 20%of the world population, account for only 3%of global cases in the last 7 days. Africa is the least-vaccinated continent in the world. On the other hand, Europe and the Americas are much more vaccinated. Interestingly, 64%of new global cases in the last 7 days were in Europe and 23%were in the Americas. Basically what we're seeing is a disproportionate split where 80%of the world population living in Africa, Asia and Australasia (which includes the countries with the lowest vaccination rates in the world) accounting for only 10%of global COVID cases,whereas the 20%of the world that lives in Europe and the Americas, which are home to many of the most vaccinated countries in the world, are churning out 90%of the global COVID cases. Because Dr. Berry almost certainly doesn't have time to respond,would anybody else be willing to let me know why this might be the case?Or if not, would somebody be willing to raise this issue at the next BOH/BOCC Meeting? I'd like to include a third piece here as well. I spoke at the November 8th BOCC Meeting but had audio problems. I was asked to send an email to the BOCC with what I had said. Unsurprisingly, my comment was not addressed on November 8th Unfortunately, it wasn't addressed at either of this week's meetings either(unless it was discussed at the BOH meeting and the audio from this is simply missing from the recording on the website). So, I think it would be a good idea to include it one more time, this time not just to BOCC (the only recipient thus far), but also to BOH and Dr. Berry. Here it is: 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, "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." 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. 5 In an email I recently received from Commissioner Dean, I was also informed that"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." 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. 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 under-powered 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.

Check the ordinance for exceptions. Here is how you can check your property: Can I submit an application? How do I identify if my property is in a plat? Pre-1971 Plats All Plats Why enact this moratorium? My examination of the above text and linked documents raises some serious questions and leads me to conclude that the "Statement of Work(SOW)" and its Communications Plan are both deficient and insufficient. • Both the "Plat List all" and the "Plat List pre-1971"documents on the DCD website are very poorly formatted, especially the 2nd of these; there are no column headings on pages and Excel cells are hanging off to the right on separate pages. The failure to properly present the data makes these documents essentially useless. • The "Can I submit an application?"document says 'This flow chart is for reference only and does not show all exemptions. It cannot be relied upon [emphasis added) as a decision making tool." o First, "flow chart" is one word, not two. i HEARING COMMENT o If the flowchart cannot be relied upon, why is it present? If a person draws the wrong conclusion about their property from an unreliable flowchart, is DCD going to take the blame when things go wrong in the future? Of course not. The person who was misinformed by the faulty DCD information will be the one harmed and who will bear the burden. • The"Is My Property in a pre-1971 Plat?"document is also essentially useless. o "If a Property Description with a S, T, R pops up, you are likely [emphasis added] not in a plat and your property is not affected." a "Likely"?That lack of specificity is unacceptable. o "If your Property Description name is located on the Plat List_pre-1971 then your property may be [emphasis added] subject to the moratorium. Please call our office at 360-379-4484 to further discuss." Again, an unacceptable lack of specificity. o Do people have to pay a$50 CAM fee just to find out if their property is affected? Even then, why would anyone trust what they were told? In summary: Given the poor quality of the documents presented as explanations, I have zero confidence that DCD's information can be relied upon. DCD's documents are poorly prepared and are clearly inadequate. Recommended next steps: At the very least, the Jefferson County Assessor should certify whether or not each and every parcel in the county is in fact subject to a pre-1971 plat. This ordinance should not be approved or extended without that provision. Then, DCD needs to clean up its documentation to match the Assessor's findings before the BoCC holds a new hearing on the facts.

The bill, which contains $1.75 trillion in spending over 10 years that is offset with new increases in revenue, now heads to the U.S. Senate for consideration. The National Association of Counties (NACo) released an in-depth analysis of key provisions included in the package of significance to county governments. KEY PROVISIONS FOR COUNTIES • Authorizes the Medicaid Reentry Act, a key priority for counties, which would allow incarcerated individuals to receive services covered by Medicaid 30 days prior to their release from jail • Permanently extends post-partum Medicaid coverage from 30 days to 12 months, providing additional access to health services for county residents and reducing uncompensated care costs for county health entities • Raises the cap on the state and local tax(SALT) deduction from $10,000 to $80,000 and extend this cap through 2030 • New investments in child care and early learning programs with the opportunity for counties to receive direct funding to expand access, quality and affordability for working families • Establishes new Rural Partnership Program, which aims to enhance rural communities' access to federal community and economic development funding • Additional funding to support county efforts in expanding critical nutrition programs aimed at reducing child hunger • Short-term extension of the Child Tax Credit, which will significantly reduce childhood poverty and lead to significant savings across county health, child welfare, criminal justice, and anti-poverty systems and services • More than $1 billion in new funding to support counties' efforts to prevent abuse and neglect of older Americans EXPLORE THE LATEST NACo FEDERAL POLICY RESOURCES Legislative Analysis for Counties: Build Back Better Act NACo's analysis of the reconciliation package provides an in-depth overview of the provisions affecting county governments. .

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Greetings County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, There were fewer questions submitted to KPTZ this week, but number 3 is a doozy! The author of these multiple questions was informed that not all of the questions may be answered during this update. I can re-send the unanswered questions for the November 29th update, if needed. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Berry: 1. Where in Jefferson County ca I get a PCR test to enter Canada? Do I need appointment? Thank you! 2. I have two vaccinated friends who see a Chiropractor who is not vaccinated, does not wear a mask and makes patient masking "optional". I was quite shocked. Isn't this very risky and is there any action the Health Department could take? 3.The following submission has multiple questions: I represent a church congregation of 230 members.We have a hybrid service, with an attendance of 50 to 60 people meeting in person for Sunday services. Our sanctuary is large with the high ceilings of Victorian architecture. Our safety protocol sets a high bar. It includes masking and distancing, no choir or congregational singing and no eating or drinking within the building. We reopened our doors in July, 2021. Masks and sanitizer are provided. Cleaning practices are well considered. I believe everyone, except for one, who attends services, is vaccinated. A limit of 90-100 may be in the sanctuary at a time. (We have had one on-site memorial service with only soloist singing; it required proof of vaccination and attendance was limited to 90 participants)As far as we know we have had no infections within this group. A church with no singing except for a soloist is a church suffering.With Christmas upon us we would very much like to begin having our choir(which sits in a loft far from the congregation) and congregational singing return. i Do the following ideas meet with your approval? The choir can sing, masked and three feet apart. A record must be kept of every performance or rehearsal for contact tracing. There can be congregational singing with all participants masked. A soloist may sing unmasked with 15 feet distancing. There is a question regarding masks for both choir members and members of the congregation. Performer's masks are now available.They are larger, allowing for more comfortable singing.They all seem to be cloth but three ply are available. What are your feelings about singers using these three-ply if properly worn, well made and well fitting?At the least, may they wear a three-ply procedural mask? May the congregation wear their own masks when participating in hymn singing or should they be given three-ply procedural masks which would be supplied by the church? Fellowship time is right up there with singing when it comes to the vitality of a church. May we start serving food and drink within the building? If so, what are the limits?Should this just be coffee and cookies, or can it be sit-down dinner, distanced around tables? Perhaps there is something in between. Do the blowers providing heat need to be turned off during gatherings? Do we still need to distance if wearing masks?We believe all members who attend but one is vaccinated, but we have a few visitors each Sunday with unknown vaccination status. With more visitors expected for services during Advent and Christmas do we need to take other precautions? I am very grateful for your help as we move into this special and important religious season.After months of no congregational or choir singing, the gift of choral music, including carol singing, would be the best Christmas present we could receive. Thank you. 2 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Friday, November 19, 2021 1:14 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Carrying Our Work Through 2022 From: Justine Gonzalez-Berg Sent: Friday, November 19, 2021 1:13:29 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada) To: Kate Dean Subject: Carrying Our Work Through 2022 ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

Special Announcement: Matching Grant Opportunity EOPLE,IDEAS.1 Housin -^ z .I o LEOf,f;i Solutions JEFFERSON co,,, Dear friends, Since announcing our matching grant opportunity a few weeks ago, we have been amazed by your response and the swell of community support; thank you for helping us reach our initial $10,000 goal! Among the generous gifts was another matching grant opportunity for $5,000. By donating today, your gift will be doubled, and we will reach a total of$20,000 toward community-driven housing solutions in 2022. Double Your Impact and nate 1 We are excited to see this year's work be carried to fruition in 2022 and build toward tangible housing solutions. • This year, our Housing Action Teams and staff produced key resources - on how to build, how to share spaces, and how to connect with tenants - that have formed the foundation of the Share Our Spaces campaign, which will launch in January. Through Share Our Spaces, we will empower community members to create housing, using these resources, in 2022 and beyond. • We also celebrated the completion of an affordable rental Accessory Dwelling Unit that created a home for a family and demonstrated a successful model for building affordable rentals. It was made possible through a local family's dedication to creating an affordable rental on their property, the commitment of local investors who offered flexible financing for the build, and the creativity of a local builder. This pilot project has already inspired several other homeowners who we will be working with in the new year to create more affordable rentals. • We have advocated with the City and County to adopt pre-approved plans for Accessory Dwelling Units, which will make it easier to build small homes. Now, both governments are actively working to build these programs in 2022. HSN aims to assist by reaching out to local builders to develop the plans, and through promoting the program to encourage the development of ADUs as affordable rentals. This, and so much more, has been powered by the support of community members like you. Help us carry these efforts forward in the new year by making your gift today.

Scroll down to read the answers Our Mayor has vetoed an ordinance. Is there a time deadline for a Council vote to override the veto?And,does the vote to override the veto have to be by the members who voted on this RCW 35A.12.130 says that when the mayor vetoes an ordinance"council shall cause his or her objections to be entered at large upon the joumal and proceed to a reconsideration thereof"But the statute does not specify when the council must take these actions. We did not find any published Washington court decisions, attorney general opinions, or comments in Roberts Rules of Order on this issue.A respected legal source that our courts often refer to, McQuillin Municipal Corporations, says that if there is no controlling statute it depends on the local agency's code or rules of procedure. As for your second question,the council as a body continues even if the members change. There is no statutory language requiring that the same members act on a vetoed ordinance. The entire Council has been invited to a community meeting on homelessness. May a quorum of the council attend? Generally, the OPMA does not apply to a quorum of members attending a meeting not called by their governing body unless"action"is taken,which can include taking public testimony.AGO 2006 No. 6.We think there is a fundamental difference between 1)the council attending a meeting and passively receiving information as mere audience members, and 2)the council attending what is essentially a public listening session. Depending on the specific facts of the meeting, how the session is structured, and whether speakers address their comments directly to the councilmembers, it does run the risk of becoming"public testimony."At the least, it runs the risk of"appearing"to be a violation of the OPMA even if a court ultimately finds that the facts of the session show there wasn't technically a violation. The conservative approach would be to have less than a quorum of the council attend the meeting and | report back ina regular open meeting nfthe council.Alternatively, community meeting could be � noticed as a"special meeting"during which the council will take public testimony on the issue of In most instances, employers link the use of accrued vacation time with the completion of the probationary period.This probationary period is particularly important for union-represented and civil service employees, because after this period they can only be let go for cause and have other due process rights. If employees are union-represented,the probationary period (and how soon accrued vacation leave can be taken) may be established in that document as well. If you have a mix of represented and unrepresented employees, it is possible that the city adopts a standard for unrepresented employees that is consistent with the standard for represented employees just for the ease of tracking. Again,while a common benefit, there is no legal requirement to provide vacation time. Only a minimum amount of sick time is mandatory under Washington law(1 hour per 40 hours worked),which an employee is entitled to start using no later than 90 days after they start working. (See LNI's website for more information on the requirements of the Paid Sick Leave Law.) Some jurisdictions are opting to allow the use of accrued sick leave that is in excess of the state minimum as well as accrued vacation time after 90 days—just for the ease of administration—particularly if the employer opts to have all leave in a single PTO bucket. From a policy perspective, the reasons for shorter versus longer periods preventing the use of accrued vacation time appear to be shifting in the current job market. What are the minimum requirements in state law with respect to the frequency of council meetings in code cities? 1 The city council is required to meet regularly, at least once a month, at a place and time as designated by council ordinance or resolution. See RCW 35A.12.110 for mayor-council code cities,which also applies to the council-manager form of code city by way of RCW 35A.13.170. Can the mayor break the tie in a council vote on a motion to approve a negotiated contract with a I labor group? RCW 35A.12.100 provides as follows with respect to mayoral tiebreaking authority: The mayor shall preside over all meetings of the city council,when present, but shall have a vote only in the case of a tie in the votes of the councilmembers with respect to matters other than the passage of any ordinance, grant, or revocation of franchise or license, or any resolution for the payment of money. MRSC interprets the"resolution for the payment of money"provision narrowly. In our view, it does not apply to resolutions involving contracts, even if entering into the contract has financial implications for a city. So yes, MRSC takes the position that a mayor has authority to break a tie with respect to a contract with a labor group.

Library seeking community donations for residents. Attachments: Water Truck at Clallam Bay Library.jpg Adele Kelly with Water Jugs.jpg Water at Clallam Bay Library.jpg 1 Drinking water and Sani-Can portable restrooms are presently available at the North Olympic Library System's (NOLS) Clallam Bay Branch Library. Water is available via water bottles or via a Clallam PUD water truck. Each person can pick-up six water bottles daily. Residents should bring their own water receptacles to utilize the water truck. At this time, the water truck and portable restrooms should remain available daily 24/7. Water bottles will be available between 10am and 4pm, Monday through Sunday, until water service is restored to Clallam Bay. Additionally, the Clallam Bay Library is currently requesting donations of the following items to help area residents who have been without water for nearly a week: • Clean and empty five gallon jugs • Unopened packages of baby wipes • Unopened bottles of dry shampoo Donations can be dropped off at the Port Angeles Library, Sequim Branch Library, or Forks Branch Library and will be delivered to Clallam Bay. Water access in Sekiu and Clallam Bay has been extremely limited since the storm on Monday, November 15, that wiped out the main water line that provides drinking water to residents. NOLS is partnering with Clallam County Emergency Management, Clallam County Fire District Five, Clallam PUD, and the Clallam Bay School to ensure that residents of Clallam Bay continue to have access to drinking water.

Our mission is to preserve, promote, and enhance our historic business districts. 1 Main Street News Giving Tuesday! - NOVEMBER 30T HELP LIGHT UP THE PLAZA!! Port Townsend Main Street's Giving Tuesday Campaign Nov. 3oth focuses on Tyler Plaza Lighting 2 Tyler Street Plaza has become a beloved community space. At the Port Townsend Main Street Program, we have a dream...to add string lights over the Plaza! This would give it a feeling of coziness and safety in the winter months. It would make the space have the feel of a festive outdoor room. One of the main complaints we get about downtown in the winter months is that it is too dark. People don't feel as welcome or safe after the sun sets, which can be as early as 4:3o pm. The Port Townsend Main Street Program championed improvements for the plaza and has raised funds for street furniture there. We feel this is the next step to enhance the plaza. It is a natural extension of the Port Townsend Main Street winter lighting campaign. The lights would be on timers, dimmable and secured by stable light poles. These kinds of placemaking improvements lead to a more vital downtown, increased foot traffic and customer connections. Please donate to this campaign and help add sparkle to Tyler Street Plaza! Thank you. CLICK HERE To DONATE Main Street Board Elections 3 The Port Townsend Main Street Program will be sending out Board Election Ballots next week to current Main Street Members.

Crews cleared the major east-west highway for reopening at 5 p.m. Friday,Nov. 19. On Monday,Nov. 15, heavy rains triggered multiple slides on US 101 near Lake Crescent, closing the road. Since then, crews have worked non-stop during daytime hours to remove over 5,000 yards of gravel and debris. Travelers may experience intermittent delays as crews finalize their cleanup and inspect the roadway. WSDOT offered late afternoon, overnight and early morning pilot car escorts through the closure so people could travel between Forks and Port Angeles. The commercial vehicle restriction on US 101 from milepost 220 to 231 has been lifted. Remember to slow down in work zones and watch for road crews. WSDOT would like to thank Clallam County, Clallam County Emergency Management, Washington State Patrol, Olympic National Parks, Lower Elwha Tribe, Makah Tribe, City of Forks and the City of Port Angeles for their cooperation and patience while working together to get the highway reopened. i 12 trucks operators worked to clear US 101 at Lake Crescent, removing 5,000 yards of debris since Nov. 15. Long term repairs planned 2 State Route 112 at mileposts 15.8 near Clallam Bay and 32 near Jim Creek experienced extensive damage that will require emergency contracts to reopen. The slide near Clallam Bay is 325 feet high and 275 feet wide. WSDOT is working with the local community to provide access for moving people and goods into the area. US 101 south of Forks has reopened to alternating travel and will require an emergency contract to correct the hillside. Engineering geologists visited all locations on US 101 and SR 112. Long-term repairs will be necessary on US 101 at milepost 185 and on SR 112 at Clallam Bay and Jim Creek. A timeline for repairs and reopening will be announced as they become available. Safety first Maintenance crews from across the region are working as fast and safely as possible to reopen our highways. Some closures may reopen as a single lane at first while more work takes place. Do not go beyond road closures for everyone's safety. Be sure to follow WSDOT on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates. WSDOT's updated travel center map is a resource for current closures statewide.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. I purchased a home in snow creek ranch in 2017.This is my first time I've done this, so I didn't know a few things about it. A little background on me... I'm on full disability, in 2015, I was in a house fire for 40 minutes, before the fire department could get there. My short term memory shut off and is slowly coming back, with the help of therapy. The reason I'm writing you is, my PUD meter is on my neighbors property. Its actually my property, the property lines were changed in 2015 during a survey,the previous owners didn't do any investigating before selling it to me.The lots used to be square and had 78 feet across,then the lot was added to and went straight up making it 270 by 78.The home was approved by the county and the HOA, with correct measurements from the street and 10 feet from side lines. Now my neighbor hired an attorney and has been harassing me since day one,for encroachment. One of their trees feel on my power lines and snapped my power pole leaving me with no power since Wednesday. Who's responsible for the damage? J.B. 1 HEARING COMMENT jeffbocc From: Terry Smith <terry.smith.broker@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, November 21, 2021 10:50 PM To: jeffbocc Subject: Comments on the moratorium ALERT:BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Jefferson County has an acute housing shortage.The number of parcels available for sale(as per the Northwest MLS) is lowest in at least 15 years and has the highest prices. Housing is important.The County needs to do what it can to the help not hinder building more housing. The County residents need a clear understanding of what lots are affected by the moratorium. A good Frequently Asked Questions section regarding the moratorium needs to be on the County website. It is important to have a point person at the County who understands the moratorium and can answer questions that are not on the FAQ section of the website. The Realtors and Builders should have a seat at the table when the issues are being discussed. I would suggest overlays in certain areas of the County where higher density would not cause a problem.We need buildable lands for the middle class.The lots in the City are too expensive for most people to afford to build. I would like to see a shorter time period than a year for the moratorium. I think a goal of 6 months would be much better.While I realize it will take time to go over all of the issues,a year is a long time when the timeframe to build is currently 2 to 3 years from the time a Buyer closes on a piece of property. We are already 10 years behind in building enough housing for the population that we currently have.Washington has a high rate of in-migration which will only make the problem worse if we do not allow for more affordable, buildable lands. I believe that there is a way to allow more dense housing in some areas to reduce the number of unhoused people and still retain the natural beauty of our area.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Good evening, Heidi. Thank you for your response to my comment at the 11/15 meeting. I did my best to address it directly to Kate Dean, not to you. I am delinquent in thanking you for your curiosity and willingness to consider things you haven't heard before. On the contrary, Kate has consistently bemoaned the presence of contributors at the BOCC meetings if they deviate from official public health messaging. I stand firm on my claim that the issue of Covid 'vaccine' mandates is politically motivated. When Trump was perceived as the hand on the tiller of Operation Warp Speed, Democrat party bigwigs (current WH occupants included) denounced not just mandates, but the products themselves. If Trump had bypassed a federal appeals court ruling that OSHA is beyond its authority to enforce them, every Democrat party-aligned politician in this country would be—to use a favorite colloquialism of mine—hanging off the ceiling; they'd certainly be screaming for impeachment. "Kamala Harris says she would not take a Trump recommended vaccine:" https://www.voutube.com/watch?v=p7WD810Dc11 "Judge Engelhardt quotes Biden's answer to a question posed to him on December 4 of last year concerning whether vaccines should be mandatory: "No, I don't think [they] should be mandatory. I wouldn't demand it be mandatory..."The judge also quotes a D.C. Circuit Brief filed by OSHA in May of 2020: "Based on substantial evidence ... an ETS is not necessary both because there are existing OSHA and non-OSHA standards that address COVID-19 and because an ETS would actually be counterproductive." I encourage you to read this brief but elucidating article. [bold emphasis mine] Stanford Professor John loannidis is one of the most published and cited medical/academic/scientific professionals on earth, also unapologetically pro-vaccine. He comments on the radical shift from science as a course of inquiry to today's highly partisan scientism: "Imperatives like skepticism and disinterestedness are being junked to fuel political warfare that has nothing in common with scientific methodology." https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/science/articles/pandemic-science 1 Censorship and the crushing of open debate are akin to a snake eating its own tail. It will come around to destroying the goals of its proponents. best wishes, Annette 2 Julie Shannon From: Greg Brotherton Sent: Monday, November 22, 2021 9:01 AM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Local 20/20 Weekly Announcements From: Local 20/20 Sent: Monday, November 22, 2021 9:00:52 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Greg Brotherton Subject: Local 20/20 Weekly Announcements ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

Anticipated Meteorological "Bomb"Documented by King Tide Team Sor :y I 11, I yi'114P96 PY I \The Local 20/2o King Tide team documented the tides and water levels on io/25/21, 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.

New IPCC Report on Climate Here is an excerpt from climate.gov about the new climate report released a few weeks ago. "....the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)released the Physical Science Basis report from Working Group 1,a major part of their sixth Assessment Report.This report includes the most up-to-date understanding of the climate system and climate change,providing the best scientific evidence in order to understand the past,present,and future changes to our planet from global warming.The conclusions are clear:climate change is already affecting nearly every part of the planet,and human activities are unequivocally the cause. 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 9 making extreme weather and climate events—like heat waves,heavy rain,and droughts—more frequent and severe,putting more people,property,and natural resources in harm's way. Unless there is a rapid and large-scale reduction in greenhouse gas emissions,limiting warming to a 2.7°F(1.5°C)threshold will be beyond reach.Scientists warn that the more humans drive Earth's average temperature above this threshold,the more frequent and severe extreme weather and climate events will become."

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. My public comments from the meeting are attached. For what it is worth, I did not hear any real answers to my questions during the meeting.The DCD has definitely put the cart before the horse.Jeff Black 1 HEARING COMMENT DATE: November 22, 2021 TO:Jefferson County Board of Commissioners (jeffbocc@co.jefferson.wa.us) SUBJECT: For the Record. Land Use/Building Regulations/Declaration Emergency: Moratorium Good morning, My name is Jeff Black and I am speaking on behalf of myself and my wife Monica Black ... and maybe a few others not here today. Background: I'm fortunate enough to be here only because my excavating contractor mentioned the moratorium. Prior to last week, I did not know this moratorium was in effect. Based on what I know now, I'm very concerned about the scope and effect of this moratorium and question the process for how the moratorium was implemented,communicated. My wife and I recently purchased 2 parcels (about 1/3 acre)of unimproved land on Paradise Bay Road where we plan to build a home with an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). We purchased this land on October 4th, 2021 ... which I think is the same day that this moratorium was announced and the same day it went into effect. We were not aware of this moratorium at the time we were signing the papers and transmitting a large payment for purchasing the property. Our realtor was also not aware of the moratorium. Even Community Development staff was not aware of the upcoming moratorium on August 26th of this year during a meeting I paid for regarding land use of this property we intended to purchase. In effect,we were blind-sided. How can this be? How can this happen? It concerns me greatly that we invested a large sum on property that we now can not build upon. Hopefully this meeting will shed more light on what the actual issues are. What I do know is the moratorium has delayed/halted our plans and is costing us financially. Most experts see interest rates going higher soon and this will cost us an additional amount of dollars that we intended to spend elsewhere. This moratorium not only affects us, it impacts many in our local community...from tree toppers/loggers, excavators, surveyors, septic designers, builders, masons,framers, electricians, plumbers, roofers and many others groups.This moratorium has deprived those businesses the work I had planned to contract out. Given my current understanding, I oppose this moratorium,the scope of the moratorium and how the moratorium was communicated. Questions: Does this moratorium preclude building a garage with an Accessory Dwelling Unit above? Our intent is to build the Garage/ADU now and the Home sometime next year? HEARING COMMENT Why is my property included in this moratorium? Can my property be included in the Innocent Buyer Provisions (Slide 18)? Recommendations: The moratorium must be updated, corrected, fixed to exclude individual property owners with small parcels such as myself and my wife. We don't believe citizens like us (the individual property owner) are the reason for this emergency moratorium and therefore citizens like us should not be penalized for any insufficient building rules nor should we feel the brunt of this action if developers work the rules to their advantage. At a minimum,the moratorium should be delayed for 1 year to allow citizens like us the time necessary to submit all plans/documents for building on our small parcels and time for Jefferson County to review and approve those plans. I will provide these written comments to the board for the public record. Thank you for your time today.

That one copy of this Resolution together with Exhibit "A" be delivered to each of the following: Board of County Commissioners and Auditor of Jefferson County,WA. 6. Pursuant to RCW 84.52.125,as amended by chapter 196 of the Laws of 2017 it is the intent of the fire district/regional fire authority,acting by and through its board of commissioners, to protect the district's/regional fire authority's tax levy from prorationing under RCW 84.52.010(2), by imposing up to a total of twenty-five cents ($0.25) per thousand dollars of assessed valuation of the tax levies authorized under RCW 52.16.140 and RCW 52.16.160 [RCW 52.26.140 for RFA's], or either of them, outside of the five dollars and ninety cents per thousand dollars of valuation limitation established under RCW 84.52.043(2), if those taxes would otherwise be prorated under RCW 84.52.010(2)(e). Further, pursuant to RCW 84.55.092, it is the intent of the fire district commissioners to protect the fire district's future levy capacity. Therefore, in any year in which the district reduces the regular tax levy below the amount of levy to which the district is entitled by law, consistent with existing voter authorizations and the limitations of the state constitution and statutes, it is the district's intent to fully preserve future levy capacity as the aforesaid statute allows. The county assessor is therefore requested to set the regular property tax levy at the amount which would be allowed under RCW 84.55, as if the regular property tax for the district for taxes due in prior years (beginning with 1986) had been set for the full or maximum amount authorized under the law.

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. 2 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. Contact Lorie Fazio at LFazio@clallam.org if you'd like to attend or watch a recorded session. Deadlines Approaching...

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 io 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'llresponsible be res onsible 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. 11 Clallam County Economic Development Council 1338 W 1st St., Suite 105, Port Angeles, WA 98362 Unsubscribe kdean@co.jefferson.wa.us Update Profile I Constant Contact Data Notice Sent by info@clallam.org powered by Constant Contact Try email marketing for free today! 12 Julie Kate Dean 22, 2021 2 Shannon From: Sent: Monday, November :07 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Coronavirus Pandemic Resources for Counties— November 22, 2021 From: NACo Sent: Monday, November 22, 2021 2:06:49 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Kate Dean Subject: Coronavirus Pandemic Resources for Counties— November 22, 2021 ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

I am trusting that you will be honorable and make sure my voice is heard, even though I don't have video or microphone. Recently in the Peninsula Daily News Dr. Berry declared that only 11 deaths after COVID shots have occurred in the entire nation. Really? In the entire nation? According to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS, which is notorious for under- counting injuries and deaths), between December 14, 2020 and July 19, 2021, there were 12,313 reports of death among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. The website of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated that as of July 21, 2021 VAERS had received 6,207 reports of death among those who received a COVID-19 vaccine. No matter how anyone slices the bologna, 6000 is not eleven. Ms Berry continues to spew many, many lies and falsehoods, leading to many, many felonies that she herself is committing. It is interesting to observe that a half page paid ad appeared in the PDN some weeks ago endorsing Berry. Signing that ad were the same people who led the pro-fluoride movement, people like Dr. Kennedy who runs the hospital and Norma Turner. These are the poisoners in our midst, who only know coercive medicine, not consensual medicine. So here's how our health system currently works: the County Health Department knowingly reports invalid positive PCR test results to the PDN as "cases," which the newspaper of record emblazons in sensationalized, front page articles. By the way, this is a complete misuse of the word "case" for many instances this term is being applied to perfectly healthy people. The WA State Department of Health has confirmed that PCR tests have been typically cycled 40 or 45 times. Even Fauci in a recorded interview admitted that PCR tests are invalid when cycled more than 35 times. The inventor of the test, Nobel prize winner, Kary Mullins, said that it was invalid after 20 cycles. This incorrectly used PCR test is what is driving our Covid "cases," and propagated illegally by our nation's Health Departments, just to keep people in fear and therefore controlled. And now, i our very children are at risk as the FDA approves a non-tested, unsafe, and completely unnecessary injection into those who are over 99% safe from the illness itself! Completely irresponsible. We The People see the TRUTH, and want our corrupt health department officials held responsible for all the ills they have caused.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Commissioners, At the special meeting of the LTAC Committee held on November 23, 2021 that committee, purportedly relying on advice from Mr. Hunsucker, recommended that the county award almost $50,000 of LTAC funds for capital expenditures for repairs on the Swansonville Church to the Friends of Swansonville. From MRSC: https://mrsc.orq/Home/Explore-Topics/Finance/Revenues/Lodging-Tax.aspx Use of Revenues City and county lodging tax revenues — including both the "basic" and "additional" lodging taxes — must generally be used for tourism promotion, acquisition of tourism-related facilities, or operation of tourism-related facilities (RCW 67.28.1815-.1816), including: • Tourism marketing; • Marketing and operations of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists; • Operations and capital expenditures of tourism-related facilities owned or operated by a municipality or a public facilities district, including repayment of general obligation bonds (RCW 67.28.150) or revenue bonds (RCW 67.28.160) for eligible capital projects; or • Operations of tourism-related facilities owned or operated by nonprofit organizations (but not capital expenditures). MRSC's emphasis in that last bullet "(but not capital expenditures)" in the MRSC guidance is particularly noteworthy. In the case of the award just approved by the LTAC Committee for the Swansonville Church, either Mr. Hunsucker is correct or MRSC is correct, but not both, when it comes to the allowability of using LTAC funds for a capital expenditure by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Additionally, unless the Swansonville Church is never again used for any religious purpose, the use public "tourism promotion" dollars to fund the repairs/ restoration of the structure will have been a clear violation of the Separation clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The LTAC Committee should not have been fooled by the disingenuous claim that the structure will in the future become a "community center". "If it quacks like a duck ..." 1 If the county proceeds to authorize the award to the "Friends of Swansonville" organization for the requested purpose, I will immediately file a complaint with the Washington State Auditor and bring this matter to the attention of the ACLU and the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Please do not approve the improper use of public funds that the LTAC has recommended.

On Monday, Nov. 22, crews reopened both lanes of the highway near Kalaloch, removing the temporary traffic signal that was in place during construction. Contractor crews from Quiggs Bros, Inc., working for the Washington State Department of Transportation, removed old culverts under US 101 at Steamboat, Harlow, and Fisher Creeks that were barriers to fish. They replaced the culverts with large, concrete bridges. Crews will return in spring 2022 to finish stream restoration efforts. The project is expected to finish in fall 2022. This work is part of WSDOT's program to remove barriers to fish under state highways.

USDA Forest Service k � U.S;DEPARTMENT OF AGRi CJLT4JRc Olympic National Forest cHRIsTmAs Forest Service News EE , r 1 • Release R CREAT (a)N,ao,f Christmas Tree Permits Available Online and at Local Vendors for the Upcoming Holiday Season November 23rd, 2021, Olympia, Washington: Olympic National Forest holiday tree permits are available to purchase online through Recreation.gov and in-person at local vendors around the peninsula. Details about designated cutting areas, dates and types of trees that may be cut can be found at Recreation.gov. "For every tree that is found, cut and carried home as a holiday fixture, a new story is created," said USDA Forest Service Chief Randy Moore. "These stories become the precious memories that create traditions worth carrying on for generations and further connect families with their local forests." Beyond creating joyous memories, cutting a Christmas tree also improves forest health. The permit system helps to thin densely populated stands of small-diameter trees. Local forest health experts identify areas that benefit from thinning trees that tend to be the perfect size for Christmas trees. Removing these trees in designated areas helps other trees grow larger and can open areas that provide forage for wildlife. To obtain a Christmas tree permit for the Olympic National Forest online, please visit Recreation.gov and select Olympic National Forest Christmas Tree Permits from the list of available options. It is important to carefully read the overview and need-to- know information prior to purchasing the permit. Visitors will also need to set up or login to a Recreation.gov account to complete the transaction. i To purchase a Christmas tree permits in-person, visit one of the vendors listed below. Please check with your local vendor prior to arriving for a Christmas tree permit to check availability and hours of operation. 2021 Christmas Tree Permits Vendors: Port Angeles, WA - Swains General Store, 360-452-2357 Sequim, WA- Sequim Visitor Information Center, 360-683-6197 Quilcene, WA - North Hood Canal Chamber of Commerce, 360-765-2200 Hoodsport, p rt, WA - Hoodsport Visitor Information Center, 360-877-2021 Online Sources: • Recreation.gov Christmas Tree Permit page with map interface • Help Center article "How Do I Purchase and Print a Christmas Tree Permit?" • Cut a Tree for the Holidays from Your National forest article • Share Your Story adventure writing contest • Every Kid Outdoors Fourth Grade pass program • Every Kid Outdoors Christmas tree ornament colorino pace For more information please contact an Olympic National Forest office.

Dean is a Jefferson County Commissioner for District 1, Port Townsend, and has served on the Puget Sound Partnership's Ecosystem Coordination Board, which advises the Puget Sound Partnership's Leadership Council on carrying out its responsibilities. "With her knowledge and passion, Kate will make great contributions to the Puget Sound Partnership's work to achieve a healthy, resilient Puget Sound," Gov. Jay Inslee said. "Her experience with local economic development issues, her understanding of rural communities, and her leadership as a Jefferson County Commissioner and i member of the Partnership's Ecosystem Coordination Board all make her an outstanding addition to the Leadership Council." "I am really excited about Kate Dean joining the Leadership Council," said Jay Manning, chair of the Puget Sound Partnership's Leadership Council. "She has already proven herself as an effective and passionate advocate for restoring Puget Sound to good health and she will make the Leadership Council a stronger voice for recovery. We just issued the 2021 State of the Sound report and it is clear that what we as a society are doing now to protect and restore Puget Sound is not enough. Kate, and her experience as a County Commissioner, will help us make the hard decisions we need to make to save Puget Sound." Dean was elected to the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners in 2017. She moved to Jefferson County in 1999 and spent 10 years farming and working to grow the local food economy through businesses she co-founded, including FinnRiver Farm and Mt. Townsend Creamery. Her experience as an entrepreneur is critical to her understanding of the local economy and community. Dean left the farm but didn't go far; she started a consulting business that had her working on natural resource and rural economic development issues locally and regionally. She coordinated the Jefferson Landworks Collaborative (a farmland preservation and enterprise development initiative), managed Washington State University Extension's Small Farm Program, worked for Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, and was the regional director for the North Olympic Development Council, a council of governments tasked with community and economic development. Dean has served on the Ecosystem Coordination Board as the alternate for Rep. Steve Tharinger, representing the Strait of Juan de Fuca Action Area since 2017, and representing Puget Sound counties since early 2021. In 2019, Dean proposed the board form a land use subcommittee to work on identifying tools, policies, and funding mechanisms to support the participation of counties and cities in the protection and recovery of Puget Sound. Since then, she has co-chaired the land use subcommittee, which includes many of the local elected officials on the board and representatives from tribal, state, and federal governments. She also helped draft a protocol for the board to rotate meetings around the Puget Sound to co-host local forums. The purpose of the local forums is to expand local decision-maker engagement with the Puget Sound recovery community and discuss local priorities. Dean holds her Master of Public Administration degree from the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Washington. Her publications include USDA Farmland Changing Hands and Preparing for Climate Change on the North Olympic Peninsula. In her spare time, Dean can be found gardening, riding her bike, or in the mountains with her two teenagers. "It's an honor to be appointed to such a committed group as the Leadership Council," Dean said. "I'm pleased that the Partnership sees the value of having local government represented in this critical work. A healthy Puget Sound is essential to a rural county like mine and I look forward to working on a regional scale to protect and restore it." "I'm delighted that Kate is joining the Leadership Council," said Laura Blackmore, executive director of the Puget Sound Partnership. "In her work as a Jefferson County 2 Commissioner, Ecosystem Coordination Board member, and regular attendee at Puget Sound Day on the Hill, she has shown her commitment to Puget Sound recovery and her passion for connecting with partners. I know that she will help us advance our work toward a resilient Puget Sound." Dean's term on the Leadership Council runs through June 25, 2025. She fills the vacancy recently left by Stephanie Solien, who served on the council for seven years. Solien recently served as vice chair for the Leadership Council and was co-chair of the Southern Resident Orca Task Force. About the Leadership Council The Leadership Council is the governing body of the Puget Sound Partnership. Its seven members are leading citizens chosen from around the Sound and appointed by the Governor to serve four-year terms. Jay Manning currently chairs the Leadership Council. 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.

With your 8 ict*a help we've protected land across East Jefferson County from , : t properties in the Quimper Wildlife Corridor in Port Townsend to ' rip fli Kawamoto Farm in Quilcene, to pN key properties in Discovery Bay, to family farms in Chimacum. Together, we've conserved the places that matter today and forever. Thank you! And it's been a special joy to be out on the land again with you, caring for the properties in our trust by building trails, removing invasive weeds, and welcoming educators and 2 hundreds of students for memorable hands-on outdoor learning experiences. I hope you enjoy reading about the positive progress you helped the Land Trust make this year, and I hope that, like me, you're eager to keep pushing forward with the land conservation projects that help protect our shared home. Working together, we'll ensure that the natural places that rejuvenate, nourish, and delight us all are protected forever. With gratitude, Richard Tucker Executive Director IMPACT OF YOUR SEPSUPPORT IN 2021 With your help, we: • Added 24 acres of protected land to the Quimper Wildlife Corridor, and added another 10 properties to the project pipeline for protection • Protected 149-acre Kawamoto Farm in Quilcene with two easements and launched an equitable RFP process with our LandWorks Collaborative partners to select the next farmer • Protected two key properties at the head of Discovery Bay, two historic Chimacum Farms, and a farm in Quilcene Bay's watershed that contains forest, streams, and open pasture Your support also helped the Land Trust: • Offer the popular Discovering the Forest learning series to over 360 participants 3 • Pilot the first selective harvest to benefit forest health at Valley View Forest, and offer the harvest's local wood to more than 15 local nonprofit partners • Welcome local students to our preserves for hands-on learning opportunities that connect them to the natural world • Care for more than 720 acres of habitat (with the help of 141 volunteers giving almost 4,400 hours to help advance our mission) Thank You! + c .. Protecting Kawamoto Farm Kawamoto Farm is a historic 149-acre dairy (and working forest) north of Quilcene owned and farmed by three generations of the Japanese-American Kawamoto family for the last 100 years. The farm's founders, Kaichi and Itsuno Kawamoto, immigrated from Japan at the turn of the century. The family overcame extraordinary obstacles— including barriers to legal ownership and detainment during WWII —to establish a thriving family farm. When the farm was listed for sale last year, the Land Trust sprang into action. 4 Generous individual donations and Navy funding made it possible to purchase a restrictive easement limiting development on the land, and a conservation easement (expected to close by year end) that guides land management, protecting water quality and habitat. It also allows for the development and placement of interpretive signage to honor the Japanese- American history of the farm and the Kawamoto family. Together, the easements will reduce the market value of the farm, offering the next farmer a rare opportunity to purchase the farm at an affordable price.

Port Townsend StyroCyclers Styrofoam Recycling*New* The volunteer Port Townsend StyroCyclers group is recycling expanded polystyrene,commonly known as styrofoam,from East Jefferson County residents and businesses. Because of the huge volume processed by their Kent-based recycler,the StyroCyclers can only accept pieces that are white,rigid,clean,and dry,with all tape,labels,paper cardboard,and packing peanuts removed. The styrofoam is packed and stored at Fort Worden in Port Townsend,then delivered to Kent once per month thanks to OlyCap and Northwest Harvest food bank trucks.At the Kent facility,a densifier machine uses heat and pressure to convert the styrofoam into a toothpaste-like consistency that cools into heavy,glassy blocks,which are then sold to manufacturers of products such as picture frames,construction details,and surfboard blanks.The densified product is in high demand because it is less expensive than virgin plastic. The StyroCyclers accept styrofoam by appointment only.Donors will be given an appointment for a community collection 6 event or individual drop-off or pick-up.Message them at any time at PTStyroCyclersPgmail.com or through their Facebook page.

Anticipated Meteorological "Bomb" Documented by King Tide Team i0 Alit • I saa• •4�gr,tl/` '"\The Local 20/2o King Tide team documented the tides and water levels on io/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.

New IPCC Report on Climate Here is an excerpt from climate.gov about the new climate report released a few weeks ago. "....the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)released the Physical Science Basis report from Working Group 1,a major part of their sixth Assessment Report.This report includes the most up-to-date understanding of the climate system and climate change,providing the best scientific evidence in order to understand the past,present,and future changes to our planet from global warming.The conclusions are clear:climate change is already affecting nearly every part of the planet,and human activities are unequivocally the cause. 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 1850-19o0,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."

Let"s Light up Tyler Plaza in 20221 . Tyler Street Plaza has become a beloved community space. At the Port Townsend Main Street Program; we have a dream...to add string lights over the Plaza! This would give it a feeling of coziness and safety in the winter months, It would make the space have the feel of a festive outdoor room year- round. One of the main complaints we hear about downtown in the winter 2 months is that it is too dark. People don't feel as welcome or as safe after the sun sets, which can be as early as 4:30 pm. The Port Townsend Main Street Program championed improvements for the plaza and has raised funds for street furniture there. We feel this is the next step to enhance the plaza, It is a natural extension of the Port Townsend Main Street winter lighting campaign. The lights would be on timers, dimmable and secured by stable light poles. These kinds of placemaking improvements lead to a more vital downtown, increased foot traffic and customer connections. Please donate to this campaign and help add sparkle to Tyler Street Plaza! Thank you. ' ; 3 11 qN' j' .:eta +,4 ...

EDC Clallam Ernnomk Development Council 1 DASH AIR SHUTTLE TARGETING EARLY 2022 LAUNCH OF SCHEDULED FLIGHTS Dash Air Shuttle, a new Pacific Northwest based airline is now expected to launch service in early 2022! The initial route will connect William R. Fairchild International Airport (CLM) in Port Angeles, WA to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Dash Air had hoped to begin service before the end of 2021, but several contributing factors have led to unexpected delays. When asked about the delays, Clint Ostler, the President of Dash Air, said that "while the process has taken longer than anticipated, we are actively working to build an exciting new airline for the Peninsula", adding that "as of now, we are on track to begin service later this Winter." Dash Air has taken delivery of three Cessna 402c multi-engine aircraft, each capable of carrying nine passengers. These aircraft are beginning a rigorous and thorough inspection process to insure they are in the best possible condition prior to being put into service. Additionally, Dash is establishing a base for aircraft maintenance and logistics support, which is taking a bit longer than anticipated due to a challenging pandemic environment. Dash Air is working closely with the FAA to assure full compliance and the highest level of safety for their new airline. Due to the challenging winter weather environment in the northwest, coupled with normally weaker travel demand during that time, Dash will plan to start service with up to four daily round-trip flights to SeaTac. By April, Dash has plans to include additional frequencies and enhanced coverage of early morning departures and late evening arrivals. By Summer 2022, the plan is to expand the schedule with up to six daily round-trip flights. Dash also anticipates having aircraft available for on demand charters to accommodate groups of up to nine passengers looking at destinations other than SeaTac.

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%. io 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.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hi Heidi, Greg, and Kate, Just wanted to check in with the three of you about getting our resolution back on the county agenda (we had been waiting for the city, but finally split the two resolutions into two). We're also finally getting some traction at the city level, possibly passing a resolution in 2021 but if not, we'll have a majority of strong supporters come early 2022 with the arrival of new councilmembers. So, we'd like to get things moving at the county level again, and I'm curious if we should send in a new set of public comments, or if you would be ready to pass a resolution without them given all the work we did earlier in the year?And if the latter, how would we get on the agenda? Here is a link to our county resolution: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YZpmSigii1R04Jc9dCa936eYZCHUUeLBmC-U iD uuM/edit And just to clarify, we are open to either following Oakland and most other cities and calling upon local agencies to direct all funding away from law enforcement concerning entheogens or calling upon them to codify/make policy changes like Seattle did. Doing both would be more than welcome, as in the attached resolution - but it's important to us that at least one of the two is included. Also, if any of you would like to see where we drew the various resolution sections from and confirm that they have already passed in other cities,you can view this color coded version (written for the city but has the same content): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Sr8UBEaWNahTKxKG cctybyUZPNiM0m7VKAxxolgkLo/edit?usp=sharing (The bolded sections are the ones most essential for us, though we are happy to add back in any other ones.) Thank you all! Warmly, Erin Reading i Heidi Greenwood (based on Seattle) Seattle PTPS Oakland Somerville, MA A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND, WASHINGTON DECLARING THAT THE INVESTIGATION, ARREST, AND PROSECUTION OF ANYONE ENGAGING IN ENTHEOGEN-RELATED ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE AMONG THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND'S LOWEST LAW ENFORCEMENT PRIORITIES AND STATING THE COUNCIL'S SUPPORT FOR FULL DECRIMINALIZATION OF THESE ACTIVITIES WHEREAS, entheogens is a term that encompasses any living, fresh, dried, or processed plant or fungal material, including teas or powders, that may contain currently scheduled or analog psychoactive indolamines, tryptamines, or phenethylamines, including, but not limited to, psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, mescaline, and iboga; and WHEREAS, punitive drug policies disproportionately impact people of color and low-income communities; and state and federal scheduling of entheogens and other substances has served as a pretext for disrupting and criminalizing those communities, which has destroyed countless lives and torn families apart, this resolution is an effort to begin correcting the irreparable harm caused by the U.S. war on drugs; and WHEREAS, depression, severe anxiety, problematic substance use, post-traumatic stress, end- of-life anxiety, grief, intergenerational trauma, and other physical and mental conditions are plaguing many communities, exacerbated by the impact of COVID-19, and the use of entheogens has been shown to benefit the well-being of individuals and communities in addressing these afflictions via scientific and clinical studies,and within continuing traditional and communal practices; and WHEREAS, the FDA designated psilocybin assisted therapy as a breakthrough therapy for treatment-resistant depression in 2018 and major depressive disorder in 2019;and WHEREAS, human cultures around the world recognize entheogens as sacred' and use them as part of their religious practices2; and WHEREAS, entheogens containing ibogaine, for example, have been shown to alleviate treatment resistant cases of opiate and methamphetamine addiction at significantly higher rates than all other treatments for addiction. In addition, ibogaine is reported to be beneficial for addiction therapy related to specific work-related PTSD encountered by first responders such as EMT, police, and firefighters, as well as military veterans; and WHEREAS, entheogenic cacti that contain phenethylamine compounds such as mescaline can be beneficial in healing drug and alcohol addiction and for individual spiritual growth, and have been utilized in sacred initiation and community healing by diverse religious and cultural traditions for millennia and continuing use as religious sacraments in modern times; and WHEREAS, psilocybin, naturally occurring in entheogens native to the Pacific Northwest, can alleviate end-of-life anxiety for hospice and terminal cancer patients, can reduce prison recidivism, and can effectively treat substance abuse, depression, cluster headaches; and WHEREAS, a Johns Hopkins University study on "healthy-normals" found that psilocybin can occasion mystical-type experiences, which were considered one of the top five most meaningful experiences in a subject's life for over 75% of their subjects within the first year after the study, and also found continuing positive life-style changes after a 14-month follow-up; and WHEREAS, entheogens such as Ayahuasca that contain forms of DMT, a naturally occurring compound in the human body that is listed as a Schedule 1 substance, can lead to experiences that are reported as mystical or experientially similar to near death experiences and that can be demonstrably beneficial in treating addiction, depression, PTSD, and in catalyzing profound experiences of personal and spiritual growth; and Jamilah R. George et al., The Psychedelic Renaissance and the Limitations of a White Dominant Medical Framework:A Call for Indigenous and Ethnic Minority Inclusion, 4 JOURNAL OF PSYCHEDELIC STUDIES 4 (2020) (describing the ceremonial and therapeutic use of psychedelics by indigenous peoples of Africa, North America, Central America, and South America); Melanie J. Miller et al., Chemical evidence for the use of multiple psychotropic plants in a 1,000-year-old ritual bundle from South America, 116 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES 11207 (2019) 2 Pierre Didier Nyongo Ndoua & Kaveh Vaghar, Bwiti, iboga, trance and healing in Gabon, 21 MENTAL HEALTH, RELIGION& CULTURE 755 (2018). WHEREAS, entheogen use is a constituent element of many other healing and personal growth practices, including but not limited to some 12-step and group therapy programs, and including both facilitated and non-facilitated group practices and those that are self- directed at the individual level; and WHEREAS, psilocybin, ayahuasca, iboga, DMT, and mescaline are regarded as non-addictive and decriminalization reduces risks of improper use or overconsumption by encouraging education, access to supportive spaces, and community conversations around ensuring safe consumption; and WHEREAS, the Jefferson County Board of Health passed a resolution in July of 2021 supporting the removal of entheogens and the psychoactive chemicals they contain from the jurisdiction of the Controlled Substances Act and recommended that federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies pursue a decriminalization strategy for adult use of entheogens. WHEREAS, the following principles, when adhered to, help to ensure safe and responsible use of entheogens: 1. Entheogens are not for everyone. Some people should not take entheogens at all or without exercising extreme caution, including people with a personal or family history of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or who are currently taking certain medications. In these cases, consultation with a medical professional is essential. 2. If someone has severe depression with suicidal ideation or PTSD, it is advised to first seek professional support and ask that professional's advice. Many counselors and therapists are glad to work with a client before and after an entheogenic journey. 3. Unless you have expert guidance, it's best to start with small amounts, using more only after you become familiar with the material and the terrain. 4. Don't go solo (with nontrivial doses). Have at least one trusted and sober friend (called a sitter, guide, or facilitator) be with you in a safe location and commit in advance to honor that person's instructions if he or she tells you to do something. Entheogens can amplify the whole range of human emotions, including anxiety which can sometimes lead to distress. Having a sitter gives you a certain comfort and mental freedom, can help keep things safe, and provides support to enable deeper growth and positive transformation. 5.

Entheogens are not for everyone. Some people should not take entheogens at all or without exercising extreme caution, including people with a personal or family history of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or who are currently taking certain medications. In these cases, consultation with a medical professional is essential. 2. If someone has severe depression with suicidal ideation or PTSD, it is advised to first seek professional support and ask that professional's advice.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. County & City Elected Officials of WSF-served communities, Good morning. In response to historic crewing shortages leading to an alternative service plan reducing service on every WSF route, Governor Inslee asked WSDOT and WSF to write a planning document for short-, medium-, and long- term steps to improve WSF's service. The last several months have exposed several constraints limiting WSF's ability to provide stable service, which has been a challenge for our passengers. While we are currently focused on how to restore service to meet current ridership, we need additional funding and flexibility to ensure we have a diverse and modern workforce that is resilient to the ever-changing marine labor environment we compete within. Yesterday Patty Rubstello, WSDOT's Assistant Secretary for WSF, sent the attached proposed plan containing options to improve our workforce challenges to state legislators. The plan, based on WSF's 2040 Long Range Plan, and last year's COVID-19 Service Plan's "Four Pillars," explains options for addressing staff shortages, many of which will take coordination between WSDOT, the governor's office, and the legislature. Knowing the impacts of the current schedule on our county and city partners, I'm sharing the document with you as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, John John B. Vezina Government Relations Director Washington State Ferries i November 30, 2021 A WSDOT WSDOT Washington State Ferries — Options to Address Staffing Shortage Purpose This document outlines potential short-, medium-, and long-term options for the Governor, legislature, and labor partners to consider to address Washington State Ferries' current worker shortage. Background The WSDOT Ferries Division (WSF) is facing severe staff shortages that are unprecedented in its 70-year history.The effects of an international shortage of mariners, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the aging demographics of the workforce have combined to reduce staffing below levels necessary to operate the system. This has resulted in unplanned service reductions and a decrease in system reliability even as ferry ridership is now approaching, or exceeding on several routes, pre-pandemic levels. WSF employs nearly 1,900 people on vessels, in terminals, at the Eagle Harbor maintenance facility, and at the headquarters facility in Seattle.The management, maintenance, and operation of the ferry system depend on several specialized positions responsible for transporting people and goods in a marine environment nearly 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. These specialized employees, such as deck officers and engineers, undergo years of training, certifications and sailing time before they are qualified to serve in these positions. Because WSF is crewed at the minimum levels required by the U.S. Coast Guard, the loss of a single crewmember means a vessel cannot sail, and a trip or multiple trips must be cancelled. Cancellations are only made after WSF's dispatchers make hundreds of calls to on-call and other staff trying to fill vacancies. WSF 2040 Long Range Plan The WSF 2040 Long Range Plan, submitted to the Legislature in January 2019, provides a proposal for investments and policy recommendations that support reliable, sustainable, and resilient ferry service through 2040 and beyond.The Plan identified investment in WSF's workforce as one of the top priorities to ensure continued system reliability. In developing the Long Range Plan, WSF engaged over 7,400 people and received 1,741 comments. Public feedback overwhelmingly emphasized the importance of reliable service as the top priority for 1 November 30, 2021 the ferry system. While the Plan places particular attention on stabilizing the ferry fleet by building 16 new vessels, it also notes that new infrastructure is only valuable if WSF has the skilled workforce to operate and maintain it, calling for significant investment in attracting, retaining and strengthening the workforce. WSF is experiencing the same pressures felt by other employers nationwide, as a wave of people born during Deck officers eligible the post-World War II population boom start to retire. to retire in five years As of the end of 2018, more than 30 percent of the vessel workforce, 37 percent of the terminal workforce, and 24 percent of Eagle Harbor maintenance facility Second mate 17% staff were eligible for retirement within five years. In the period from Oct. 1, 2020 to Oct. 18, 2021, 100 WSF Chief mate 29% employees retired from the agency. Given the average € ache,° ch th s number of retirements over the last four years, forecasts `'`'� show that approximately 5.7%of employees may retire Licensed engineers eligible each year. to retire in five years Current Situation COVID-19 Response Service Plan —the Four Assistant Pillars �.. Engineer 25% Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, WSF has been adjusting service to respond to the changing situation. Chief Engineers % The ability to provide ferry service has been limited by a number of factors, including: 1) a steep drop in ridership; 2) a shortage of qualified crewmembers; 3) This graphic from the 2040 Long lack of vessel availability; and 4) significant decreases Range Plan illustrates the number of in revenue.These factors—ridership, crewing, vessels, employees eligible for retirement. funding—comprise the four pillars of service that must all be present for WSF to fully operate ferry service. The four pillars and how they relate to constraints on ferry service are outlined in WSF's COVID Response Service Plan, published in June 2020. At the lowest point in the pandemic, in March 2020, total ridership had fallen 75%compared to the last week of February 2020. Vehicle ridership fell by 63%, with walk-on passenger ridership falling by 90%. Given that nearly 75%of WSF's operating budget is derived from fares, the budget has been significantly impacted. A backlog of vessel maintenance caused by suspension of vessel preservation and maintenance work during the stay-at-home order and ongoing global supply chain issues have prevented WSF from having enough vessels to operate at full capacity at several points throughout the pandemic. WSF still faces constraints with the four pillars that are causing service impacts throughout the system. Vessel availability continues to be a challenge. Five years ago, WSF had 24 vessels, and there are now 21 active vessels in the fleet. 2 November 30, 2021 The crew shortage due to an aging workforce has been exacerbated recently by worldwide maritime industry recruitment challenges and vacancies, COVID-19 quarantines and requirements, and the departure of staff in key positions required to run the fleet. Service reliability has decreased and the number of cancelled trips due to lack of crew has dramatically increased. WSF believes these trends will continue. Service Reliability WSF consistently completes more than 98% of all scheduled trips. However, the sudden cancellation or loss of even a single trip inconveniences customers and disrupts a critical link in the state highway system. In 2021, system reliability has dropped from a high of 99.3%early in the year to 95.1% in October and 98.6% reliability through November 28 (based on WSF operating an alternate service schedule for most of the month). WSF Reliability 1.03,0% 101.0% 99.0% 99.3% 99.2% 99.0% :::: 98.8' 98 93.0% 95,1% 91.0% 89,0% Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov- partial In addition to a shortage of U.S. Coast Guard documented crew, disruptions can be caused by a number of reasons, including weather, unexpected vessel or terminal maintenance needs, or other external forces that indirectly affect sailings. In 2021, the number of trips cancelled due to lack of crew dramatically increased in September(171 cancelled trips due to crewing) and October (349 trips cancelled due to crewing).Through November 18, the number of cancelled trips due to lack of crew was 37, reflecting the increased reliability created by operating on a reduced service schedule. 3 November 30, 2021 600 SPIN 500 400 WSF 300 Cancellation •� �,; i2c" wd 00 Detail Nov Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct partial` IN Other 19 5 16 21 16 4 10 11 11 Additional Service 0 3 1 0 0 0 9 2 11 Schedule Reset/ Service Delay 6 0 21 24 45 25 4 47 45 Weather/Tides 44. 25 32 17 20 10 16 16 33 ta Vessel Mechanical Breakdown 28 42 37 83 44 30 45 134 0 ■Crewing 6 25 21 60 40 130 171 349 37 Crewing Needs and Challenges To adequately crew its 400+scheduled sailings per day and maintain service 365 days a year, WSF estimates it needs to hire approximately 70 engine room crew, 60 terminal staff and 65 deck crew. Although COVID-19 and COVID-related issues have not allowed WSF to hire or train new recruits at the same rate as prior to the pandemic, the agency has already hired 175 new deck, engine and terminal employees in 2021. Ensuring there are enough qualified crew to staff each vessel and meet the published sailing schedule is a complex process. Crewmembers' availability for work is constrained by several regulations, including collective bargaining agreements and U.S. Coast Guard oversight via the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), guidelines developed by Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), and International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS). Some of the constraints include minimum safe working conditions and hours, minimum crewing requirements, and operational limits, such as: • No vessel deck crew can work more than 12 hours and must have at least eight hours of rest within a 24-hour timeframe.Terminal staff must have at least eight hours off between shifts. • Scheduled engine room crew shifts can last a maximum of 12.5 hours, and WSF must relieve engineers for the following day if they work more than 15 hours due to unforeseen circumstances. • There is no relief pool for Eagle Harbor maintenance staff, and employees who get called out for night jobs must receive the next day off. • There must be sufficient crew holding correct U.S. Coast Guard endorsements and licenses to safely navigate the vessel as appropriate by vessel size and passenger load. • WSF must account for required traveling time for employees dispatched to multiple locations to comply with U.S. Coast Guard endurance management requirements. WSF must synthesize information on watch duration, travel time, and other factors to ensure crew rest requirements are met.This can be especially challenging in the more remote locations the ferry system operates. 4 November 30, 2021 This complexity is increased when there are not enough employees in the system to cover all shifts without relying on extensive overtime or filling shifts with on-call and relief workers.This pattern has contributed to the current situation with high levels of burnout and increasing numbers of sick call outs. Unique Challenges Related to Engine Room Crew One area where WSF sees the biggest risk to fully crewing vessels and avoiding cancelled sailings is with engine room crew. Unlike deck crew, which are assigned to a specific route, engine room crew are assigned to a vessel. Due to a nationwide shortage of vessel engineers and oilers that has been building for several years but has become critical in the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery period (part of the international supply chain crisis), finding and retaining engine room crew at all levels for WSF vessels is extremely challenging.The training programs for oilers and licensed engineers last approximately one and four years, respectively, and there are a limited number of training resources. WSF must compete in the national labor market to attract and retain these employees. Under the collective bargaining agreement, two out of three licensed engineer positions must be filled by internal promotion of qualified oilers (i.e., those who have obtained their license). While this has proven to be an effective workforce development tool, it creates additional constraints during periods of high vacancies (typically during the summer and recently during COVID). Licensed vacancies are filled by seniority bidding, so any licensed vacancy creates a cascading series of vacancies that must be filled both in the licensed and unlicensed ranks. Contractual timelines for bidding and training make this a protracted process. Once hired by WSF, engine crews must be trained to the specific vessels (or in some cases class of vessel) to which they are assigned. This process takes one day for Oilers, two days for Assistant Engineers, and seven days for Chief Engineers. When employees change vessels through seniority bidding, this "break-in" process consumes considerable time and resources. Relief and on-call employees are qualified on several different vessels but cannot be trained for all vessels in the fleet. As a result, the simple number of total engine room employees does not directly affect WSF's ability to provide service, and there are additional complexities in ensuring the fleet has the right type of employee to staff each individual vessel on each route. A number of WSF's suggested options to address the current constraints relate specifically to engine room crew, which will directly alleviate some of these unique challenges. Options to Address Staffing Shortage Actions WSF is Taking Now WSF has taken some immediate steps to restore system reliability and to begin increasing hiring and recruitment of new employees. 5 November 30, 2021 Implementing Alternate Sailing Schedule On Saturday, Oct. 16, WSF started operating a temporary alternate sailing schedule to provide customers with more predictable and reliable travel.These baseline schedules are similar to schedules used when unplanned vessel repairs are needed, in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic when ridership plummeted and in extreme weather events such as snowstorms. The schedules are designed to match available resources with the least risk of unexpected cancellations while still providing critical links to island communities and for travelers who depend on the ferry system. Removing one vessel from each route reduces the number of crew needed to supply reliable service. However, it's not only the number of people needed to run the vessel on a daily basis; WSF must also account for additional crew needed to replace crewmembers who are out for long-term and short-term reasons, such as vacation, sick and other protected leave. The goal of this reduced alternate schedule is to provide a measure of predictability about how WSF will maintain service and allow customers to plan their trip. Since moving to the schedule on Oct, 16, WSF has continually reviewed the schedule and has added hundreds of sailings based on availability of crew. As a first step to restoring service, WSF signed MOUs with labor unions prioritizing service restoration over on-boat vessel maintenance. The MOUs allow vessel crew members, engine room and deck, to move from non-operating vessels to other vessels to cover service elsewhere. On Nov. 19, WSF restored the Anacortes/San Juan Islands route to its regular fall schedule on a trial basis and plans to incrementally restore service to other routes as crewing levels allow.

Hiring a Recruiting Consultant WSF needs to modernize its recruiting efforts to address the changing dynamics of the younger workforce and to attract a more diverse workforce.This consultant will create a new recruiting plan to guide the agency. Among other tasks, the consultant will review job postings to ensure that position descriptions match roles and expectations. WSF will also use social media to target local communities within the Pacific Northwest, particularly in predominately under- represented communities where knowledge of maritime opportunities is low.The department hopes to have a recruitment firm under contract in December 2021. WSDOT is in the process of hiring an additional recruiter that will support WSF's needs. Adding to the recruiting process, WSF will also hire an additional staff member that will assist in the on- boarding of new hires and in developing long-term career development plans. Re-assessing State Position Requirements to Make it Easier to Hire and Retain Employees WSDOT will review and assess state requirements for new WSF hires at all levels and determine if any of the application or hiring requirements that may present a barrier to employment or deter qualified mariners from applying could be reevaluated or removed. Additional Options and Strategies for Deliberation 8 November 30, 2021 To consider all options, WSF has developed a menu of additional options broken down into when they could be implemented. All options could require additional funding and will involve coordination with labor partners. For purposes of discussion, options are broken into: • Near-term—options that can be implemented within the next 0-3 months • Medium-term—options that require further study, new funding or re-allocation of existing funding; these options could be implemented within the next 6-9 months • Long-term—options that require significant levels of new funding or take longer to implement;these options take one year or more to implement Near-term Options WSDOT recommends immediate action and investments to address the crew shortage and increase service reliability. These options could be implemented within the next several weeks and months, or by the end of 2021. Some of the options would require coordination with labor partners. Enhance employee WSF historically hires deck crews in late winter/early spring. They retention are trained in the spring and allocated to the fleet over the peak sailing season in summer. Historically, in the fall and winter, as sailings are reduced, the new hires' hours are greatly reduced, or they are laid-off. Many do not return to WSF in the spring (over the last 5 years, only 10-15%of on-call employees have returned to work the following season). Many former and potential employees cite this as a barrier to employment at WSF. For a new hire, this lay-off cycle can last two to three years before they have gained enough seniority to avoid the lay-off/reduction. Eliminating the seasonal layoff would provide a more attractive employment situation, create better stability amongst the labor pool, speed up sea-time accumulation needed for advancement, reduce seasonal new hire training costs, and increase vessel operational efficiency through gained experience. A stable, experienced workforce could also help to reduce overtime by keeping the labor pool at sustainable levels. Other benefits include having additional U.S. Coast Guard-certified crew on-board during the low season allowing the vessel to sail when a single crew member is late or misses their shift. Additional, routine maintenance may also be advanced with the extra crew. This initiative could be scalable to provide a guaranteed level of hours less than full-time (e.g., 20 hours per week), but the impact of lesser hours on the expected benefits of full-time employment are difficult to estimate. 9 November 30, 2021 Options that could be considered include: • Guaranteeing on call employees a certain number of hours; all other provisions of the labor contract would apply • Backfilling Able-Bodied Seaman (AB) positions to allow them to do pilotage • Identifying tasks that employees would do in the low season, such as training and routine maintenance Implement retention Develop a program to temporarily retain credentialed employees bonus program eligible for retirement in the workforce until the situation is stabilized. Medium-term Options Options that require further study, new funding or re-allocation of existing funding, or take longer to implement; these options could be implemented in the next 6-9 months if funding becomes available. Some of the options would require coordination with labor partners. Increase wages to The nationwide shortage of mariners increases competition attract and retain among employers at a critical time for WSF. While geographic qualified mariners and stability and state employee benefits remain attractive incentives journey-level trades for potential vessel and Eagle Harbor employees, our compensation is increasingly less competitive. As part of this option, wage increases could be targeted to specific job classes. Target, attract and This option would use traditional and digital advertising to brand retain a diverse WSF as an employer of choice. Paid advertising would allow WSF workforce through a to target specific demographics and geographic areas with a reach multi-market and frequency not available with the tools currently utilized by the advertising campaign department. Additional benefits would include improved morale for existing employees, and better public awareness of WSF which will help rebuild ridership and revenue. Increase training and These programs would increase training and development for key development of key positions to allow staff to increase their credentialing and to gain position the necessary experience to advance in their careers. Strengthen engine crew Engine room crews work a week-on/week-off schedule of 7-day leadership work periods, resulting in a 14-day work cycle.This provides 24 hour/7 days a week of crewing for each vessel. Crewing problems are consistently much greater with Week "B" than Week "A." Leadership in the engine room is essential to establishing expectations, holding people accountable, and providing performance feedback. Currently, this leadership is provided by 10 November 30, 2021 one management-appointed Staff Chief Engineer on each vessel. These positions are only present on alternate weeks. Supplementing with a management-appointed Alternate Staff Chief Engineer on the remaining weeks would fill this leadership deficit.This option would establish clear position descriptions for the Alternate Staff Chief focusing on leadership responsibilities, assign them to the alternate week, and have them be subject to performance evaluations. This would require CBA changes and an increase in compensation to attract the most qualified applicants. This option would provide consistent leadership in key positions to augment the normal seniority-based assignment process on-board the vessel which in turn would help reduce staffing issues. Re-hire retired Pursue flexibility in regulations surrounding WSF's ability to rehire employees retired employees with the necessary credentials to fill key positions. Explore expanding The Pre-Apprenticeship & Support Services (PASS) Program, WSDOT's Pre- established in 2015 and entering its third biennium, exists to Apprenticeship Support provide funding to pre-apprenticeship training providers who offer Services Program (PASS support services and pre-apprenticeship training for females, Grant) to WSF or create minorities, and socially and economically disadvantaged a similar program individuals. Implementing a program such as PASS for WSF would help prepare employees just entering the workforce for the rigors of a challenging career with the ferry system, provide financial support during training and obtaining needed credentials, and reduce WSF's early attrition rates. Long-term Options Options that require significant levels of new funding or take longer to implement; these options could take one year or more to implement. Some of the options would require coordination with labor partners. Replace current crew The need to replace WSF's crew dispatch system is urgent, and the dispatch system with current system is not sustainable. WSF's processes for bidding, automated solution for scheduling and dispatch are manual and/or use systems with bidding, scheduling and outdated technologies.The result is missed ferry sailings, dispatch increased costs from overtime and excess mileage, inefficient processes, and potentially staffing a vessel with unqualified personnel. This project will acquire and implement an automated solution for bidding, scheduling and dispatch. 11 November 30, 2021 Engine room proficiency This training would include fundamentals, system, and equipment training training. Sources would include the MEBA Calhoun School, Seattle Maritime Academy, or other commercial sources. Example topics include high voltage electricity, electric propulsion, programmable logic controllers, electronics, and hydraulics. Training allowance Under this option, dedicated FTEs would be designated specifically billet—dedicated for training purposes.Just as WSF must keep 2-4 vessels out of training FTEs service for maintenance purposes, this program would reserve a number of crew members—for example, 10 engine, 10 deck, and 10 terminal/Eagle Harbor staff—to be in a "training status."This would allow WSF to remain compliant with mandatory training, dedicate time to professional development, and potentially reduce overtime. Given the agency's current crewing crisis, it would take some time build the crewing resources to implement this option. Increase deck staffing In 2012, the U.S. Coast Guard increased the number of required levels above the crew members on WSF vessels. Before then, WSF was funded for minimum required by an extra crewmember on each vessel, and now WSF is funded to U.S. Coast Guard crew vessels at the minimum level required by the U.S. Coast Certificates of Guard. As a result, there is no extra staffing available should a Inspection crew member call out with short notice or miss the first sailing of the day. In this situation, the vessel remains tied up until a fully credentialed crew member arrives. This option would add staff to every vessel. Additional Suggestions Other options have been suggested and considered, but the department does not recommend carrying them forward at this time: • Bring in National Guard or U.S. Coast Guard personnel to crew WSF vessels • Private operators/workforce • Offer a hiring bonus to new employees • Ask the U.S. Coast Guard,Transportation Security Administration, and other federal agencies to changes requirements related to criminal background checks and drug testing The Joint Transportation Committee (JTC) Workforce Study and Next Steps The Joint Transportation Committee (JTC) of the Washington State Legislature has hired Seattle Jobs Initiative (SJI) and Segal, an international human resources consulting firm, to lead the development of a WSF workforce study. The study will recommend strategies for improving WSF's diversity; training needs; leadership development; and any other elements required to ensure sufficient and cost-effective crewing and staffing. It will also identify any budgetary, legislative, or contractual barriers to stabilizing and growing WSF's maritime workforce. WSF is 12 November 30, 2021 working very closely with the JTC and SJI to help develop this study and plan, along with a number of other partners, including labor, OFM, and maritime industry leaders. The final workforce plan is due to the legislature on December 20, 2022.The department hopes the study will identify additional options that could be considered to address the current workforce shortage and to improve WSF's ability to hire, develop and retain skilled employees. 13 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Wednesday, December 1, 2021 9:27 AM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: This Friday's Chamber Cafe -Washington State Legislative Update From: Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce Sent: Wednesday, December 1, 2021 9:26:48 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Kate Dean Subject: This Friday's Chamber Cafe - Washington State Legislative Update ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

The nomination described the impact of this work: "The story of the 6i6mahan Trail is a powerful example of what can happen when Native history is prioritized and valued within the larger context of government-to-government relations and community activism. Celeste's work with the Native Connections Action Group of the Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship created a lasting legacy in Port Townsend, and I have already witnessed scores of visitors to the Trail and increased awareness of S'Klallam history and culture in myriad ways. This cannot be understated. The Trail is not just about S'Klallam history; it is also about the ongoing relations between the S'Klallam and other Native peoples on the Peninsula to a settler culture that is growing and expanding in the present." If you haven't already spent time on the C'i6mahan Trail, swing by the museum or a nearby trail kiosk to pick up a trail map and start exploring. We're proud that our community came together to make it happen and thank the whole Trail Team who continue to maintain the trail and expand upon the educational opportunities presented by the trail in partnership with the Jamestown S'Klallam.

Further, we are not aware of any other external matters that would have had an impact on the appropriateness of using the alternative method or assumptions used by the OSA's tool. We confirm that we are a PEBB employer and we had fewer than 100 plan members (active and retired) as of the beginning of the reporting period and are, therefore, eligible to use the tool.

ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Washington State Department of Transportation Olympic Region — PO Box 47440—Olympia, WA 98504-7440—360-357-2600 What's the status of SR 112 in Clallam County? It was a rough November for Clallam County, as you may have heard. A strong storm closed every state highway in the county on Nov. 15, keeping road crews busy trying to assess and clear debris and keeping travelers either stuck or finding long alternate routes. While our crews worked around the clock to reopen as many roadways as possible— pulling crews from Aberdeen and Port Orchard to help— State Route 112 remains closed, and because it will require some extensive repairs, it could be a while before it fully reopens. Why? Some of these pictures tell the story. An initial slide near Clallam Bay was 275 feet wide and covered 325 feet of the highway. And it's still moving—more debris fell this past Sunday,Nov. 28, extending the slide area another 200 feet across the roadway. In short, it's a really big slide, and still active and potentially dangerous area. 1 • 4 a t F yy ry " 44. Our geologists are regularly monitoring the site but until the hillside is stable, we can't safely go in and clear debris or begin repairs. With Gov. Inslee's emergency declaration, we are able to expedite the process—including finding an emergency contractor—but there are still several steps that have to be taken, including designing a safe repair plan. 2 We don't have a timeline yet for all of this as it's dependent on the site stabilizing enough for crews to move in. Temporary help The good news is we have restored some local travel. Earlier this week, we secured permits to establish a temporary bypass route around the slide area to accommodate local traffic including school buses and commercial vehicles. The route uses a private two-lane road with one-way alternating in one spot. On Wednesday, Dec. 1 and Thursday, Dec. 2 there will be some delays while we do some maintenance in that area. We'll maintain and repair this road until SR 112 is reopened. There will be signs to help travelers get through the area. What about Jim Creek? The Clallam Bay site isn't the only spot that remains closed. SR 112 at milepost 32 near Jim Creek is also closed after the storm resulted in standing water, roadway settlement and a debris slide. Once our crews were able to safely respond to that area, they found that the road had dropped more than 2 feet and will also require an emergency contract to reopen. This is the same area where we recently finished repairs after a storm in Dec. 2020 dropped the highway almost 13 feet. Progress After November's initial storm, SR 112 was also closed between mileposts 0-11 near Neah Bay. Our crews were able to clear that stretch. Flooding of the Hoko River prevented crews from evaluating damage west of milepost 12 until late Tuesday, November 16. Once they were able to get safely through, maintenance crews cleared 14 sites within the 11-mile section and reopened it on November 17.They removed debris from small slides and cleared drainage culverts to prevent flowing of further debris and damage to the roadway. Real-time travel information is available on our updated travel center map and travelers can sign up for project email alerts. Once we know more, we will share that info but in the meantime, please do not go beyond road closure signs and stay alert for road workers. ### WSDOT keeps people, businesses and the economy moving by operating and improving the state's transportation systems.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. To the Jefferson County Commissioners, We live on Hastings Ave West, between the city limits and Cape George. (Close to the intersection of Hastings Ave W and Jacob Miller Road.) About 2 weeks ago, when we had the first major wind and rain storm, we had a 19 hour power outage and trees down in this area. Like good citizens are supposed to do, we filled out a form online with the County Road Department, so that the danger of damaged and downed trees on both sides of Hastings Ave West would be taken care of. Still today, you can see from the 2 photos that a tree is split in half, and a dangerous portion of it is at risk of hurting someone. A number of large trucks, including fast-moving gravel trucks, race along the roadway and if they veer even slightly toward this tree, it could fall on their vehicle or vehicles behind them. This road is also used for bicyclists,joggers, and horseback riders too. My husband took photos yesterday and today I called a man at the local post office to let him know their driver(s) needed to take care because of the proximity of the mailboxes. Unfortunately, he wasn't interested in contacting the County Road Department about this safety issue directly, even though the danger's been posed for the past week or two. Instead, the post office person said they'd just stop delivering mail to our neighborhood, which of course is even more unhelpful and misses the point of public concern for safety altogether. Having failed to connect with any measure of common sense with the County so far, and now with the Post Office as well, we appeal to you, our elected County Commissioners. We have a neighborhood of very fine people here who all get along and don't want anyone to die because no one actually listens to us. Please see that the road crew takes this, and other safety issues relating to our good neighborhood, more seriously in the future. Thank you, Gail and Steve McNealy and Neighbors...and those who drive along Hastings Avenue West 1 ^t f ! : •a' �, `mot • IV • • wt " 4, v� g r y b M! l.. 11.1 "r1114:''.1.11:;':t1;: -.. '1: I ."'
