Please accept the following comments on the Eastern Washington 2025- 2035 sustainable harvest calculation SEPA scoping process. The Washington State Association of Counties was created in 1906. It is a voluntary, non-profit association serving all 39 counties in the state. WSAC members included elected county commissioners, council members, councilors, and executives. Many of our members are direct beneficiaries of state forestlands (State Forest Land trust) managed by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).They receive substantial income from timber harvested on trust lands to support county services. Additionally,the revenue that counties receive is shared with other junior taxing districts like schools, hospitals,fire districts, libraries, and emergency management agencies to support those services.The State Forest Land trust comprises over 600,000 acres of the lands managed by the DNR. Counties also benefit significantly from the economic activity in their communities resulting from forest management and harvest activities on all state forestlands lands managed by the DNR (including all other trust lands). A recent study by Mason Bruce&Girard and Highland Economics)concluded that changes in the harvest on a small percentage of state forestlands managed by the DNR have significant, measurable impacts on the economies of smaller, rural counties. These counties are economically dependent on forest management and harvesting of forest products.The effects manifest themselves as impacts to jobs, income for residents,and reduced revenues for government services like infrastructure maintenance, law enforcement,schools, healthcare,fire protection, and others. All of the above-stated factors make counties' perspectives unique and essential when considering the decadal sustainable harvest calculation (SHC)scoping process. In 2020,the DNR formed the Sustainable Harvest Calculation Technical Advisory Committee (SHCTAC). WSAC is a member of the committee.The SHCTAC's charge is to advise the DNR as it works to recalculate the SHC.The SHCTAC is planning to consider whether to recommend moving to a plot-based inventory system, external review of the growth and yield models, and identification of lynx habitat.We 'Mason Bruce&Girard and Highland Economics,Financial and Economic Impacts of the Marbled Murrelet Conservation Strategies on Lands Managed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources,June 30,2021. recommend you include the timing of the recommendations and any impacts the advice may have on the SHC process as part of your SEPA analysis. As you know, 2SHB 1168(2021) included several requirements in Section 3 directly related to the 2025- 2035 SHC. These include: 1. DNR must hire a third-party contractor to update the forest inventory by increasing the intensity of forest sample plots over the next two biennia. 2. DNR must hire a third-party contractor to review and make recommendations regarding the forest growth and yield modeling currently being utilized. The SHCTAC is also required to be involved in both requirements in various ways. Our understanding is that the work to meet the 2SHB 1168 (2021) requirements is only now beginning. Please include how the impacts of any recommendations,subsequent significant changes, or even delays in receiving recommendations may affect the SHC process and final calculations in your scoping analysis. We mention the requirements in 2SHB 1168(2021) because we are concerned that without the input of the SHCTAC or completion of the conditions in the bill,the DNR may not have enough information needed to meet the objectives of the SHC adequately. Completing the decadal SHC is a complex and challenging process. Time is valuable in this process, and it makes sense to keep it as transparent and efficient as possible. We are concerned that any inventory changes would likely require recalculation of the SHC. When considering alternatives for your SEPA analysis,we recommend you include the following: 1. Maximizing financial returns to beneficiaries on a sustainable basis. 2. Fully understand the direct financial impact on beneficiaries and the broader economic impacts on counties from decisions that pursue strategies other than timber harvest. We believe the previously mentioned study by Mason Bruce &Girard and Highland Economics is a valid model to calculate those impacts. 3. If carbon market potential is being evaluated, please also consider how harvest rotation lengths impact additionality and the potential for utilizing carbon markets to generate revenue. 4. When considering changes to forest management and harvest of forest products due to climate change impacts and any related impacts to future growth rates, please consider the following: Whether it is advantageous to capture the value of certain forest products in the short term to mitigate risks of fire loss; How sequestration rates may be impacted;and How best to adapt forest management strategies to capture the value of forestland assets in a sustainable way that maintains and enhances revenues and overall economic benefits. 5. Any assessment of environmental justice issues should also consider that reductions in the SHC will create negative fiscal and economic impacts in some of the most rural, economically challenged counties in the state.These counties are also the least equipped to handle the related financial, economic, and job losses within their communities. Many of the taxing districts located within these counties have minimal sources of revenue that are not well diversified. Even a slight decrease in one of those sources may significantly impact the ability of a taxing district to deliver services. 6. An analysis of wildland fire risks and related active management and land closures. Economic impacts should be identified and included in the calculation when considering the risks. Public health risks from fire smoke inhalation and quality of life effects of poor air quality and forced reduced activity levels for adults and children, including school closures,should also be assessed. Thank you for accepting these comments on behalf of our members.We look forward to continuing involvement in this critically important process as ....further develops. Please let me know if I can provide further information or details on our comments. Sincerely, 4e0 r.

The Briggs Addition contains streets and alleys which were dedicated on the face 21 of the plat for public use. 22 23 COMPLAINT TO QUIET TITLE-2 KOSTELEC LAW OFFICE 211 Taylor St,Suite 403B P.O.Box 1868 24 Port Townsend,WA 98368 360-379-6453(TEL) 1-866-677-0468(FAX) colette@kostelec-taw.com 1 9. Since 1889 when the plat of the Briggs Addition was filed and recorded,the en 2 plat was located outside of any incorporated city limits and thus the dedicated rights-of-way 3 shown on the plat were county roads. 4 10.

In Murphy v. King County,45 Wash. 587, 88 P.1115 (1907),the Washington 3 Supreme Court held that the non-user statute applied to county rights-of-way dedicated in plats. 4 15. In response to the Murphy decision,the Legislature amended the non-user statute 5 in 1909 to exclude roads dedicated by plat. Laws of 1909,ch. 90, § 1,now codified at RCW 6 36.87.090. 7 16. The Washington Supreme Court has held that the 1909 amendment would not be 8 applied retroactively to prevent the vacation of unopened rights-of-way which had been 9 dedicated in plats filed prior to 1909.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Greetings County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, KPTZ received a bumper crop of questions for the Monday, December 13, 2021 BOCC Update. Please see them listed below for Dr Berry. Sorry, Willie! Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Berry: 1. I think I'm starting to have vaccine regret set in! I was talking to one of my friends the other day and they made some good arguments against getting vaccinated. They said that professional athletes have started collapsing on the field a lot recently due to heart conditions and that the only tying all these instances together was that they were vaccinated players. I know it sounds dumb and it was probably misinformation but I just don't know what to do and I think I might have made a bad choice! What should I do???? 2. I am preparing for a workshop with a friend who is not vaccinated. I am fully vaccinated,with a booster. We would be masked, and we could provide good ventilation in the room and keep good social distancing, but I still feel this might not be safe for me. Is this safe to do? 3. Similar issue, only I need to be up front of congregation singing at church. There are some air purifiers in the room but we can't open the doors in winter. There is limited capacity (30+ people usually), as service is also on zoom. The congregants are masked but I am not, as a singer, nor is the minister or other speakers. Chairs are spaced well apart. Do you think this seems like a safe situation for me to participate in? 4. I recently heard that getting monoclonal antibodies affects the timing of getting your booster. Specifically, that you have to wait 90 after getting the monoclonal antibodies to get the booster. What is the reasoning for that? Will that apply to the emerging take-home pills that you've spoken about previously? i I recall that the case rate needed for unvaccinated people to attend restaurants need to be at 75 per 100k. Could you explain again what is significant about that number? 5. As it has recently come to light that in Gibraltar 100% of the population has been vaccinated. Yet, their case numbers have recently increased despite the highly vaccinated population. Could you speak to whether it is accurate to be reporting on the number of cases vs the number of hospital beds taken as even in a population with 100%vaccination cases are still happening. 6. I am curious as to how many JHC hospital beds are currently treating covid cases and if the hospital has had to postpone any of its procedures in the past few months because of lack of space to support individuals with covid? 7. If the data shows that this virus is able to spread even after being vaccinated why would we be making public policy based on case numbers? 8. If I take an at home test and it reads positive then take a second and it reads negative, how is that counted in regards to case numbers? Additionally in regards to home test do you know the level of accuracy required to be sold as an effective test? 9. Regarding rapid covid tests: for how longare the results good? 24 hours? 48 hours? 72 hours? Is there a definitive answer? This is a timely question with various holiday party invitations arriving. 10. My double-vaxxed and boosted uncle recently traveled to France to visit with family we have over there. He was planning on coming back sometime late next week, but now there's a travel advisory from the State Department saying that people shouldn't travel to France because of high COVID-19 transmission in the country. We were all surprised to hear about it, because France has been doing a really good job with its vaccine rollout. He thinks that it's OK to come back as planned, but we're concerned that he might bring omicron or another dangerous variant back with him. What do you advise? 11. My husband & I have both been fully vaccinated with Moderna. He got a Pfizer booster while I got a Moderna booster. Are we both equally protected from Omicron even tho the Moderna booster is only half a dose? 12. Question about the use of rapid testing. We will be driving to another state (3 day drive, staying in hotels along the way, eating outside) to spend the holidays with Grandma, staying in her house for 2 weeks. We are all fully vaccinated and boosted, as is Grandma. That being said, we know infection is still possible and we definitely don't want to get Grandma sick. We were thinking of taking Rapid Tests the day we arrive, before we go in the house. The question is, how often do we take the tests? Daily throughout the visit? Every other day? Stop after 3 days of negatives? Also, there are 4 of us, should we all be testing? We'd appreciate some guidance. 13. I wonder if Dr. Berry thinks it's worth talking about the validity of this comment in the Port Townsend Leader. This is the kind of thing that sounds convincing until you dig into it a little bit. Keep in mind that this is not an article in the Leader it is a comment on an article. It is basically a copy and paste of a blog post from the Port Townsend Free Press. That blog post cites an article from a preprint server, and that 2 article apparently based their conclusions solely on 6 months of data from the VAERS database. The comment is at the bottom of this article: https://www.ptleader.com/stories/two-small-covid-outbreaks-discovered-in-local-students,78260 Comment quoted below in case The Leader removes it, I'm sure it's still on the PTFP, but I haven't gone to look. "These kids have much higher known risks from the mRNA shots than from CV...just the single risk of vaccine-related myocarditis is 4 to 6 times higher than their chance of CV hospitalization. See https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.30.21262866v1 You won't hear it from Berry, but here's today's heartbreaking news of a young Port Townsend woman whose heart was maimed by an employer-forced injection: https://www.porttownsendfreepress.com/2021/11/21/young-heart-damaged-by-pfizer-vaxpt-woman-27- now-h as-h ea rt-of-a n-80-yea r-old/ Young Heart Damaged by Pfizer Vax PT woman, 27, now has heart of an 80-year-old "Only 30% of my heart works. I'm now on heart failure medication for months, years, or maybe even up to a lifetime. I can't hike, work out, go on long walks. I can't do anything active or anything I once loved doing for a very long time or possibly ever again. Everything has been ripped from me. My entire life just changed." On November 10, 2021, a 27-year-old Port Townsend woman's life was altered, perhaps irreversibly, when she received her second Pfizer Covid injection. With a family history of heart failure, she had resisted vaccination, concerned that the shot "would attack my heart." A requirement to receive the jabs for work convinced her to relent. While she prefers to remain anonymous at present, she hopes her story can help others facing similar pressures. For the purpose of sharing her experience, we'll call her Laura: "I'm sitting in a lot of anger and regret. This vaccination is hurting people. If this can save other people's hearts...." An athletic, active young woman in the prime of life, Laura had no 3 health issues prior to vaccination. Past physicals she'd been given had always pronounced her "healthy as can be." Military bootcamp-style two-hour workouts kept her in peak physical condition. She avidly pursued weight training and boxing. Now, less than two weeks after her second shot, she has been advised that she may need to be on heart medications for the rest of her life, unable to engage in normal physical activities ever again. After her first Pfizer mRNA shot October 22nd at Tri-Area Pharmacy in nearby Port Hadlock, within 24 hours Laura felt "really sick", sweating so profusely that her clothes and bed sheets were soaked through. When she went back to the pharmacy to ask if this was a side-effect from the vaccine, she was told that it was not. Following her second shot at the pharmacy, it took 24 hours before the same reaction occurred—profuse sweating. This time additional issues manifested.... body aches, tension headaches, the sensation that "bugs were crawling in my skin." "My body aches were so bad, I couldn't lift my arm. My neck was so tender, I couldn't lay on the side of my head. I couldn't feel my chest. It felt like my entire body was shutting down." On day 3 following the shot, her condition was so severe, Laura spent all day in bed. On day 4, she checked in with Tri-Area Pharmacy again. This time, "the pharmacist said [my reaction] was 'normal'." By the end of day 4, her chest pain was increasing. At midnight on November 13th it was so bad she called the CDC vaccination hotline. The operator there told her to wait another 24 hours before seeking medical attention. Fortunately, she did not follow that advice. Had she waited, she might not have seen another day. With her chest pain continuing to intensify, Laura drove herself to Jefferson Healthcare (JHC) at 4 am the morning of the 14th. She arrived at the hospital's emergency room "in heart attack mode". The ER physician said her heart was failing, and acknowledged that the vaccine had caused pericarditis—inflammation of the protective sac surrounding the heart. At 8 am she received results from a battery of tests including an EKG, ultrasound, and blood work. "The doctor said he didn't know how I was still alive." 4 jeffbocc From: John Mauro <JMauro@cityofpt.us> Sent: Friday, December 10, 2021 6:00 PM To: syanof@yahoo.com Cc: jeffbocc Subject: RE:Your Role in Supporting Affordable Housing?

Mr. Mauro, Thanks for your response. I appreciate your view and the links you sent. I read through them. There seems strong recognition of our affordable housing issues in the documents,worthy goals, incentives and strategies. It all sounds good, sometimes inspirational. I'm glad to see some attention to supporting existing affordable housing,such as assistance with maintenance, and to integrating affordable housing into existing neighborhoods,through ADUs, infilling, development incentives and zoning modifications for smaller lots and multi-units, and so on. I think integration is key for success and a healthy community at many levels. We live in Uptown and support such integrating solutions.Obviously citizen support, political will and funds are needed. But it seems actual pursued solutions, like Evans Vista,are geographically isolated and clustered.While I realize solutions take 1 different forms, including development of available relatively inexpensive land into high density clustered housing like Evans Vista, I also want to see more public push/vision from leaders for integrating affordable housing. I realize there are challenges,from NIMBY to multiple local,state and federal jurisdictions, increasingly exclusive residential socioeconomic demographic trends, different jurisdictional layers city, county,state and federal, available land and infrastructure, increasing property valuation and property tax hikes that push even more socioeconomic segregation in established neighborhoods and reduce affordable housing,etc. Hoping to see us rise to these challenges. Bugging you and other public officials, and urging brave public leadership with vision, is part of that. Steven Yanoff Port Townsend My new email is syanof@Yahoo.com Original message From:John Mauro Date:Thu, Nov 18, 2021 8:01 PM To:SY; Cc: ieffbocc@co.iefferson.wa.us; Subject:RE:Your Role in Supporting Affordable Housing? 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://citvofpt.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.

IAsk IVIRSC e, What are the training requirements for newly elected officials? Our city initially banned cannabis sales when it was legalized in WA State. My understanding is that means we cannot receive any tax revenue from cannabis sales. If our city lifted the ban,would we be eligible to receive revenue from state sales,even if we did NOT have a cannabis business in our city? Scroll down to read the answers I am a newly elected councilmember.May I set up my own website(at my own expense)to provide a forum to communicate with my constituents? The first thing we would suggest is to look at your city code and council rules as they relate to social media usage. Second is to look at MRSC's Social Media Policies topic page and our blog post on Elected Officials Guide—What's Personal and What's Public? There are three main concerns with maintaining your own website for city-related communications. First, depending on your city's policies, anything you write could be considered a public record.This would require you to archive your website for the time required by state law and to produce responsive records if the city gets a public records request. Second, if a quorum of your fellow councilmembers comments on your website(assuming you intend to allow two-way communications) it raises the possibility of there being an illegal serial meeting. See our FAQ"What is a serial meeting?"for more details on serial meetings.Third,if this website is considered to be an officially city-sanctioned communication tool you may be limited in whether you can block subscribers or delete comments.As we note in the"Elected Officials Guide"blog, if you blog about public business, make sure your blog is public, not private,or you could run afoul of the First Amendment. Many of these issues are more easily managed if all communications are part of the official city communication plan.While a plan could allow an individual councilmember to control their own content, it could make it easier to comply with record retention and public records requirements. Finally, you'll want to talk to your city attorney about this(and we recommend new councilmembers sit down with their city attorney and get to know them).They can take this general guidance and help focus it to comply with your city's code and council rules. What is the proper timing for the swearing in of new councilmembers? There are various options for when to take the oath (both before and after January 1), and the timing will also depend on whether the new councilmember is filling a vacancy or starting a new full term.The official oath need not occur at an open public meeting, however it is not uncommon for there to be a ceremonial oath (which is separate from the official oath)at the first meeting in January. Here is a link to our Oath of Office blog article that includes a section on when the oath can be taken. Once the first phase of a phased subdivision is approved, are subsequent phases subject to the timelines to file a final plat at RCW 58.17.140?What about extension requirements? I ; 2 • Authorizing a subdivision to be developed in phases does not relieve the developer of the statutory deadlines in RCW 58.17.140 or from the requirement to obtain extensions pursuant to local code. RCW 58.17.140(3)establishes deadlines for submittal of a final plat after preliminary plat approval. RCW 58.17.140(4)gives local governments discretion to provide for extensions of that time,through procedures adopted by ordinance. Chapter 58.17 RCW does not actually address phasing of subdivisions. Nevertheless, it is a common practice. Some codes provide specific extensions for phasing, but most do not, other than extensions that might be available for any subdivision. Again, how and whether to grant extensions is a matter of local policy(implemented through an adopted ordinance). What are the training requirements for newly elected officials? There are mandatory trainings associated with both the Open Public Meetings Act(OPMA) and the Public Records Act(PRA)that apply to both state and local officials.These are at RCW 42.30.205, RCW 42.56.150, and RCW 42.56.152.The OPMA training is required for members of a governing body (e.g., city councilmembers or county commissioners), and the PRA training is required for all elected officials(and officials appointed to elected office), and public records officers. PRA and OPMA training for all members of governing bodies must be completed within 90 days of taking the oath of office or assuming duties.A refresher PRA and OPMA training is also required every four years(RCW 42.56.150 and 42.56.152). For more information, see the Washington State Attorney General's webpage on Open Government Training. Here are the RCW citations for these requirements: 1. RCW 42.30.205 Open Public Meetings for elected officials 2. RCW 42.56.150 Public Records Act and records retention for elected officials MRSC and AWC have an online e-training for both the OPMA and PRA that meets the above requirements.The trainings can be found at this link: https://mrsc.org/Home/Training/PRA-OPMA-E- Learning.aspx-select"Open Public Meetings Act eLearning"and"Public Records Act eLearning." � E Our city initially banned cannabis sales when it was legalized in WA State. My understanding is that means we cannot receive any tax revenue from cannabis sales. If our city lifted the ban, would we be eligible to receive revenue from state sales,even if we did NOT have a cannabis business in our city? The marijuana excise tax has two components-the per capita share and the retail share.The per capita share is a portion that is distributed to all cities and counties that do not prohibit marijuana businesses.The retail share is distributed to all cities and counties where marijuana retailers are located. If the city were to allow marijuana businesses, it would qualify for the per capita share. If it had any marijuana retailers, it would also qualify for the retail share. For more information on the marijuana excise tax, we would recommend reviewing our Revenue Guide for Washington Cities and Towns, page 133.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Jefferson County Commissioners and Staff I wish to voice my support for interim zoning regulations for the siting,establishment and operation of temporary homeless facilities in Jefferson County. It is difficult to provide relief to the homeless under current regulations. We have an engaged community and professional organizations attempting to support the homeless. Facilitating homeless facilities will provide support to those involved in providing relief and obviously it will be of support to the homeless. I am encouraged by your active attention and action on this matter.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Early in the pandemic my wife, Susan, and I began watching Dr. Locke's presentations about COVID 19 to the BOCC. Now we, also, appreciate Dr. Berry's weekly updates and responses to questions from the commissioners and the public. Watching the BOCC meetings has renewed my faith in the role that local government plays in providing services to the community. The commissioners consistently listen and respond respectfully to comments from the public. Today, December 13th, Dr. Berry spoke powerfully and compassionately about the risks that misinformation regarding COVID 19 vaccinations, side effects, and mask mandates can bring. As important as it is to foster public comments, it is a challenge how best to respond to passionately held beliefs that may bring harm. Dr. Berry did this gracefully. As a retired JCPH public health nurse who worked with the communicable disease team, I want to thank the staff for their long hours of work under very difficult circumstances.

EDCEWOOD LANE Washington State Public Works Board approves $4.5M for for d Department of Clallam County Government's broadband 11P' " Commerce construction project: Funding Requests exceeded available funding by over 200%: 2 According to the State's press release the Washington State Public Works Board approved over $44.6 million in conditional grants for 15 broadband construction projects in unserved and underserved communities across the state. Both Clallam County Government and Jefferson County PUD will be receiving funding to support broadband construction projects in their respective jurisdictions. The following amounts were awarded (conditioned on receipt of federal funds). • Clallam County— Clallam County Broadband Project, $4,525,174 • Jefferson County PUD— Discovery Bay East Fiber Project, $1,096,046 "This funding is among the important ways we're working towards digital equity in Washington state. Working in tandem with the state Broadband Office and the Washington State Office of Equity, we are one step closer to our goal of making broadband available and affordable for every community in Washington, and to make sure everyone has the tools and skills they need to securely and successfully use the internet," said Washington Commerce Director Lisa Brown. Funding announced today is part of the 2021 State Legislature's infrastructure investment of the federal Coronavirus Capital Project Fund, and continues the Legislature's commitment to connect communities with little or no reliable, affordable broadband service. Awards are conditional on the receipt of federal funds. The Public Works Board will open an application cycle for $13 million in state funded broadband construction loans in spring 2022. Visit the Public Works Board webpage for more information on the board and its programs, and to sign up for their email distribution list. GRANTS...

IMPORTANT EMPLOYER UPDATES FROM ESD: Paid Leave: Premium Rate to Increase in 2022 For the first time since Paid Family and Medical Leave launched, the premium rate will increase. This change goes into effect with Quarter 1 of 2022. The split of the employer and employee share of the premium rates will also change in the new year. Starting Jan. 1, 2022, the premium rate will be 0.6%: The new premium rate of 0.6% takes effect on Jan. 1, 2022. But for now, the current rate of 0.4% is in effect until Dec. 31, 2021. Employers will pay approximately 27% of the total premium and employees will pay about 73%. Continue using the 0.4% rate for the rest of 2021. But don't forget to withhold at the new 0.6% rate starting in January! If you don't, you'll be responsible for the difference during quarterly reporting. What's next • Update your calculations and withhold the new 0.6% rate starting in January. If you don't, you'll be responsible for the difference during quarterly reporting. • For your calculations, the employer share of premiums is 26.78% and the employee share is 73.22%. We will have updated resources available at paidleave.wa.gov for you and your employees before the end of the year. Stay tuned! Rate is increasing due to higher usage and reduced payrolls during the pandemic: Washington workers are finding value in Paid Leave. They are using the program as intended, and it's allowing them to take care of themselves and their loved ones when they need it most. 9 • 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.

Port Townsend StyroCyclers Styrofoam Recycling 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 event or individual drop-off or pick-up.Message them at any time at PTStyroCyclers0gmail.com or through their Facebook page.

Since the winds had largely subsided and the remaining waves were in the i'range,the wave runup appeared to be only about o.i'.With that in mind,this event was a good chance to compare the storm surge forecast to the difference between predicted and observed water levels at the tide gauge. In this case,the surge forecast was very good!See the post linked above for photos of the event and the full analysis. Local 20/2o Leader Column on Electric Vehicles and New Web Tools JeffersonCAN.org Climate Action Now The October Local 20/2o Leader Column highlighted some of the many reasons to consider buying an electric car.It discussed how far they can go on a charge,compares costs,and notes rebates available.Also described are the wide range of electric vehicles available now-not just passenger cars,but SUVs,motorcycles,and pickup trucks!

New IPCC Report on Climate Here is an excerpt from climate.gov about the new climate report released a few weeks ago. "....the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)released the Physical Science Basis report from Working Group J.,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 1850-1.9oo,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."

Together we have collaborated on multiple project and programs, including renovation and operation of the county's only homeless shelter, the Haines Street Cabins for transitional housing, a housing assistance program, annual CDBG grants funding a wide variety of OlyCAP services to county citizens. OlyCAP has for many years operated three Community Centers owned by the County and has provided various programs for them. Currently we are collaborating on a project to build 44 new affordable housing units in Port Townsend. The County has found OlyCAP to be a reliable and responsive partner in all these endeavors. The County has seen the benefits of youth specific housing initiatives from OlyCAP's YHDP programs. We support OlyCAP in continuing to broaden their Youth Programs to help strengthen youth support in our community. We are eager to see this opportunity become available to our local youth and young adults and look forward to the partnership ahead.

LENT Low Interest Loan Program Application Deadline Approaching -January 15th, 2022 19 Purpose of LENT Funds: LENT Low-Interest Microloan Funds are a tool to offset some of the financial impacts businesses endure from emergency situations, though business development proposals will be considered. Funds are made available through the Port Townsend Main Street Program and in part through First Federal. Upon your re-payment of the loan funds, the money will be returned to the Port Townsend Main Street Program for recirculating as part of future LENT Fund microloans. The Port Townsend Main Street program may also earmark funds for specific projects which will benefit Port Townsend's commercial historic districts (i.e. holiday lighting/off season marketing).

Conservation Success: Forest Property Acquired Please join us in celebrating the Land Trust's most recent acquisition: a 75-acre forested property near Thorndyke Bay south of the Hood Canal Bridge. Directly adjacent to land protected by the Department of Natural Resources and the Navy, the property contains mature forest, wetlands, freshwater streams, and pristine wildlife habitat. In the summer of 2020, the former landowner first approached the Land Trust to explore the possibility of selling the land, which had been in the family for generations. "The family has a really strong connection to this property, and they felt it was important for the existing forest to be protected," says Blaise Sullivan, the Land Trust's Conservation and Stewardship Coordinator. Surrounded by forestland that • is already protected or in the process of being protected, these 75 acres are one more piece in a much bigger conservation puzzle: protecting the 2 habitat upon which the health of wildlife in the Hood Canal area depends.

"The land trust movement as a whole has been pushing for the changes outlined in this bipartisan legislation for a long time," says Richard Tucker, Executive Director of Jefferson Land Trust. "That's why we're so grateful to Representative Kilmer for cosponsoring it." The Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act closes loopholes in the regulation of conservation easements, which are the most common tool land trusts across the nation use to help private landowners conserve their properties voluntarily. These legal agreements remove development rights from the land to ensure it remains available as forestland, working farmland, scenic open space, and/or wildlife habitat for all time.

Mapping the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area: You're Invited to Participate Did you know that Jefferson County's shoreline is now part of the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area (MW-NHA)? Established by a public lands bill passed by the United States Congress in 2019, the MW-N HA is the first and, so far, the only National Heritage Area focused on maritime heritage. The nonprofit Washington Trust for Historic Preservation (WTHP) is currently designing a management plan for the MW-NHA — and they're inviting you to participate. Until the end of December, you can get involved in this public process by identifying the maritime areas that mean the most to you along our saltwater shorelines using WTHP's Maritime Mapper tool. "This National Heritage Area is relevant to the Land Trust because it includes the local shorelines and shoreline areas that we and other conservation partners work hard to protect," explains Erik Kingfisher, Jefferson Land Trust's Stewardship Director. "When thinking about what this management plan might look like, it's important to ensure that it includes the natural areas that make this place extraordinary."
