HSN Year End Newsletter `�C QLoV LE,IDEASANO C RFJ OGP V° rN 1 � [-lousing z O Network 9�i`f OEJEFFERSON COMMJ�\ Dear friends, It's been a big year for HSN, and we're excited to share some of the amazing work that our Housing Action Teams have accomplished! We're also celebrating all the work Kellen has brought to HSN as he enters his last month of being HSN's Network Weaver. Kellen will be heading to Europe for the better half of 2022 to learn about innovative energy, housing, and ecology solutions there. Kellen has been such an asset to HSN this year, so I am both sad to watch him go, and so excited to see what i learnings and relationships he will bring back to our community through his travels. Kellen says that working for HSN has been exceptionally educational, and that through his time he's witnessed a positive change as more people get involved in local housing efforts. With Kellen transitioning out of HSN, we are thrilled to welcome Liz Revord who will be taking on the role of Network Weaver. Liz has been working as the Executive Director of the ReCyclery for the past few years, and she has been personally impacted by the rise in housing costs as she and her partner have been out-bid in each of their attempts to buy. We couldn't be more excited to welcome Liz to the team and can't wait to see how she helps shape HSN. Keep reading to celebrate the important work our Housing Action Teams have accomplished this year, and to hear what's coming up in January. Happy holidays, Justine Gonzalez-Berg Kellen Lynch Network Director Network Weaver Matching Grant Update! Thank you all for your incredible show of support and generosity this season. You have helped us meet our first matching campaign goal, and you have helped us almost complete our second one! We are currently $1,500 away from our second $5,000 match, which will have a total impact of$10,000! Help us meet or exceed this match; donate today! 2 Celebrating Our Housing Action Teams Our Housing Action Teams have remained as committed as ever, even as we complete our first full year of collaborating from home and meeting over Zoom. The Zoom fatigue is real! Yet our volunteers continue to show up, bringing their ideas and passions, and working together toward housing solutions. Here is some of the Housing Action Team (HAT) work we are celebrating this year. Housing Connections Housing Action Team The ABCs and 123s of ADUs A RoadmaiLtsa Building Affordable Workforce Housing In Jefferson County,WA Home-Sharing it. 10 Version 1.0 t. August 31,2021 Ilt ..wa. Oe++uNnP.yd?GNi lr itl J�4 .-': _ i This HAT's major accomplishment was the start-to-finish process of assisting a young couple build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on their property to use as an affordable rental. Using all the experience the team has gained from examining over a dozen potential ADU projects over the past year, the team also created a robust "ABCs &. 123s of ADUs" guide to help homeowners navigate the process of adding an ADU. Additionally, a short-term collaboration of several home-owners who rent out rooms in their homes led to the creation of a "Roadmap to Home-sharing." Permit Housing Action Team The Permit HAT created nine "permit navigator" videos featuring interviews with local builders who are expert navigators of permits. The team also advocated for City and County to develop pre-approved ADU programs, and began outreach to local designers for feedback 3 and design submissions.

They advanced the adoption of a more humane and economically sustainable Temporary Housing Facilities Ordinance with the county, began to develop land leasing resources for the Share Our Spaces campaign, began research on a pathway to legalize tiny homes on wheels as a permanent housing option, and determined that the county allows water and septic hook-ups for tiny homes on wheels. This HAT also started to incubate two new HAT efforts that we will work to get off the ground in 2022 - a Sanitation HAT (read more below) and a Zoning HAT. Outreach HAT M.•f� -� The Outreach HAT managed our Facebook page this year, taking us from 230 followers to 575 followers over the course of the year. They also helped at the HSN Farmers Market booths in the summer, and are in the process of organizing a flurry of letters to the editor in support of housing as part of the Share Our 4 Spaces campaign. Additionally, several Outreach HAT members worked with local churches to advance the Safe Parking Network concept. But wait, there's more! In addition to supporting our HATs and helping them to actualize these accomplishments, HSN staff have engaged in a range of other projects this year, from our extensive communications work, to conducting research on how employers have been impacted by the pandemic and housing crisis. Learn more here. Sanitation HAT Forming! In response to requests from the community, HSN will launch a Sanitation HAT with an inaugural meeting on Wednesday, January 12th at 5:30 pm via Zoom. In order to get the Zoom link, please RSVP here. The Sanitation HAT will explore current codes governing water and sanitation and the potential of alternative technologies to reduce the cost of workforce housing or bring existing households into legal compliance. When Jefferson County homeowners lack the $10,000 to $20,000+ required to upgrade their septic system, current Washington codes effectively penalize low-income citizens. By following the science and adopting voluntary codes for greywater reuse and dry toilet systems, local governments can help people remain in their homes. With Jefferson County's water supplies and piped infrastructure vulnerable to disrupted weather systems and sea- level rise, the new HSN housing action team seeks to build community resilience while addressing human needs. 5 Community Broadcasting KPTZ • WpActo # QURf 4 KTPZ is featuring HSN as their media partner for the month of January, and will be broadcasting the new Share Our Spaces campaign PSAs to help connect homeowners to extensive resources for creating housing at home! Tune in Monday, January 17th at 12:30 pm for our featured interview on "Attention Please!" How lucky are we to have our own local radio station? Big thanks to KPTZ for being a workforce housing ally!

Frida COVID NEWS as in • ton tate ass - cci ati • n Eff. rts • • T is ee Officials across Washington state are trying to vaccinate people for COVID-19 more quickly, and some of those plans begin this week. Pierce County officials will run two free, drive- through vaccination events. Meanwhile, state officials said they hope to open four mass vaccination clinics this week, in Spokane, Wenatchee, the Tri-Cities and Ridgefield. Those sites, plus mass vaccination efforts in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties, could vaccinate 100,000 per week, state officials said. However, that depends on enough vaccine doses arriving in the state, and officials said supplies haven't been adequate so far. Learn More COUNTY NEWS D R Sets 0 acrsf . ar . Ie . urrelet, orthern sotte . ewl The Washington State Department of Natural Resources has set aside 230 acres of state forestlands in Pacific, Wahkiakum and Skamania counties for the marbled murrelet and northern spotted owl. There is recent litigation around designating millions of acres of forest as critical habitat for the owl, which would restrict logging. Under the DNR deal, the counties will get $3.4 million to support critical local services and $1.1 million will go to the state's Forest Development Account, which funds the reforestation of state forests, the press release said, while the value of the underlying land will be used to purchase replacement forestlands that can then be managed to generate funds.

It is leading to a call for people to get vaccinated and take extra precautions as we head into the holidays. Researchers at the University of Washington Medicine lab knew the omicron variant could 3 spread quickly, but not this fast. In just three days the variant doubled in positive test size each day from 3 percent to 7 percent to 13 percent.

Share your input on Washington state's transportation future Washington state wants to hear from you about mapping and �,� forecasting our shared transportation future as the transition to electric transportation accelerates. The 2021 State Energy Strategy estimates that one million internal combustion vehicles need to be zero-emission vehicles by 2030 to meet the state's • target for reducing greenhouse gases. By 2035, all new car sales WEST COAST will need to be electric. ELECTRIC HIGHWAY Given that information: • How will charging/fueling infrastructure develop and change during that time? • How can the state optimize the use of public dollars? To help answer these questions, the state Legislature directed the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to develop a public mapping and forecasting tool to support forecasted levels of zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) adoption and use across Washington (HB 1287). With teams from the University of Washington and Washington State University, WSDOT is preparing information about the scope, cost and schedule for tool development. They are requesting early input from stakeholders interested in the development and use of this new 4 online tool. The results of these efforts will be shared with legislators in time for the January session. Share your ideas for making this tool successful using this online response form. Send questions about this project to Jim Jensen at the WSU Energy Program or Tonia Buell from WSDOT.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Board of Health, In wake of today's Board of Health meeting, I feel compelled to respond to what was said in response to my comment. First, I would like to clarify that I arrived under the impression that I would have three minutes to make comment, not just two.This resulted in me editing my prepared document in the minutes before I was given my turn to speak. I understand that the Board has the discretion to limit the amount of time dedicated to public comment, but I do not understand why it was decided that that would happen at this meeting.With only four comments, a maximum of 12 minutes would have been allocated for comments. Cutting out four minutes(assuming everybody used their full three minutes,which apparently would not have happened,as some people didn't even use their full two minutes) would not save all that much time.There was clearly not an unprecedentedly large number of commenters at the meeting, and given that you as panelists could see who was providing public comment, it felt to me as though the intention was to limit certain types of comments that were anticipated. Of course,this impression cannot be substantiated, but seeing as you saved perhaps two minutes of time by limiting comments today,that seems to be the most plausible conclusion I can draw. If this is the case, it is understandably disturbing. Second, Denis Stearns responded to the fact that I brought up that MMWR articles are not from a peer-reviewed journal.Thank you,Vice-Chair Stearns,for taking the time to respond to at least part of what I mentioned during my comment. The fact that MMWR is not a peer-reviewed publication, as was acknowledged, is common knowledge.As was stated, this does not mean that the data that comes from these publications are necessarily flawed or unusable. (I would have qualified the statement I made today had I had the full three minutes I anticipated to reflect this.) However, it is ironic that these are the only types of articles (in addition to one JAMA Cardiology study mentioned at Monday's BOCC meeting) that Dr. Berry has (at least recently) cited publicly,when she makes it clear that studies should be peer-reviewed when we talk about COVID-19. (And to be clear, I do not agree with this statement; all peer-reviewed studies lacked a peer review at some point, and the fact that a study has not been peer-reviewed should not mean it cannot be looked at it.) And while not all MMWR publications are of poor quality, it should be noted that not all MMWR publications are very good sources of information,either. Take,for example,the MMWR article about two hairstylists which claimed to show that masks are an effective tool to combat COVID-19. Perhaps this claim is true;the study does not offer that evidence, despite the article's claims and the CDC's endorsement of the study as evidence for that claim.The study is riddled with fatal design flaws,flaws which bear a striking resemblance to those found in the "study" (for lack of a better word) that I focused on during my public comment. Here are some of the problems I've identified with that particular MMWR study: 1 "An investigation of a high-exposure event, in which 2 symptomatically ill hair stylists interacted for an average of 15 minutes with each of 139 clients during an 8-day period. Found that none of the 67 clients who subsequently consented to an interview and testing developed infection.The stylists and all clients universally wore masks in the salon as required by local ordinance and company policy at the time." The CDC's summary of this case (above) showing"evidence of mask effectiveness" already has serious problems. First of all, we see the sample size is significantly under-powered with only 139 people total. However,that's being generous as fewer than half of them, only 48.2%or 67 people, consented to being tested for COVID-19 infection.Whether or not the other half of people present contracted COVID-19 (perhaps asymptomatically)was not identified in the study.All of those who were tested were given PCR tests.The authors of the study note: "With a viral incubation of 2-14 days, any COVID-19 PCR tests obtained from clients too early in their course of infection could return false-negative results." Along with this comes the problem of false positives,which are possible in the two hair stylists. The study goes on to say that about one month after the study started, the researchers attempted to interview all of the clients at the hair salon. Of the 139,only 104 (74.8%) consented to be interviewed.Any information about the other 25.2%of people is unknown. According to the study,two of these 104 interviewees said that they were not wearing their mask the entire time—possibly suggesting that masks had no effect on whether or not one contracted COVID-19 (though of course, this is hardly evidence to suggest that masks don't work).This brings up the issue of the lack of a control group to measure against; if everybody was universally masking as the study claims (and then later refutes by saying that at least 2 of the clients were not masked the entire time),there's no way to tell if the masks were effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 or not. It's possible that if all of the clients were unmasked, none of them would have been infected with COVID-19 either. Another complication arises when we consider that 17 of the interviewees (16.3%) said that they had had "respiratory symptoms in the 90 days preceding their appointment" and that"none reported testing for or diagnosis of COVID-19." It is therefore quite possible that at least 17 of these individuals had already had and recovered from COVID-19 in the past. Because COVID-19 can be asymptomatic in people, it's also possible that some or all of the people who didn't report respiratory symptoms could also have developed natural immunity to the virus.The fact that the clients were not interviewed until more than a month had passed since their visit to the hair salon raises the question of how well these individuals were able to remember 90 days prior to their appointment. It's quite possible that some of the individuals who said that they hadn't had symptoms actually may have had symptoms that were so minor that they forgot about them; conducting these interviews more promptly would have been better practice. The study goes on to say that masks were not the only preventive strategy employed by the hair salon. Indeed, there was a "citywide ordinance [that] reduced maximum building waiting area seating to 25%of normal capacity and recommended the use of face coverings... where physical distancing was not possible."The study acknowledges that additional precautions"were likely important factors in preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 during these interactions between clients and stylists." The researchers conclude that "A policy mandating the use of face coverings was likely a contributing factor in preventing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 during the close-contact interactions between stylists and clients." Of course, given the above constraints on this study, it's difficult to consider this study very weighty when we consider the criteria that Dr. Berry uses for evaluating scientific discourse. You are all entitled to your own opinions,just as I am mine. But while you can "have Dr. Berry's back," as so many of you put it, you can at the same time hold her accountable for what she says. I am actually quite surprised by her failure to defend the science supporting the vaccine passports at today's meeting, as she has on several occasions over the past weeks vaunted this single instance as proof that the segregative system we have in place is a reason that"we are doing 2 so well" in Jefferson County.This claim continues to remain incongruous with Chair Dean's statement that local policy is not based on local data. I am similarly disappointed that yet again nobody on the Board thought it appropriate to ask Dr. Berry to defend these claims after she chose not to respond. has ody askd Dr. erry for n about Do the problems I have raised not t havrit concern? If they do,e done so? If they don't,why hasnbt Dr. Berry or anybody onithelBoard of Health them, despite multiple chances to responded to me with the reason(s)that they are not valid concerns? Accountability seems to have flown out the window, and while I can't honestly say that I'm surprised, I am disillusioned.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Greetings County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, The KPTZ questions received this week for Monday December 20, 2021 BOCC Update contain some very complex inquiries. Any questions that are not addressed this week will be re-submitted for the next scheduled update. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Berry: 1. I am concerned about the lack of availability of covid vaccines for my friends and colleagues who live in developing countries. The World Health Organization calls our booster campaign, "a scandal that must stop now" because rich countries are providing booster shots to healthy adults while at-risk adults in developing countries can't receive a single shot. If enough of us delay taking our booster shots until the beginning of next year, will we free up vaccine doses that could save lives in poorer countries? 2. Are there any studies underway that are coming up with value ranges for antibody levels from the vaccines and/or COVID-19 infection that would determine whether or not an individual was protected from severe disease/death or potential hospitalization? Labcorp is offering the below test but you get just a number with nothing notating what that number actually means in terms of protection. https://www.labcorp.com/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/individuals/antibody-test i It seems if they can test vaccines against the disease that surely they would be able to test the antibodies to the disease and determine whether or not an individual is seemingly protected or needs additional boosters. A titer so to speak. 3. 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 though the Moderna booster is only half a dose? 4. The media seems to report conflicting information as it relates to booster shots and the Omicron virus. In November when news broke of the new variant in South Africa, Moderna was quoted as saying that their vaccine booster would be modified, probably in January, to protect vaccinated people from Omicron variant. This week it was reported that South Africa has studied the vaccines and found that they are not effective against Omicron variant. This morning I heard on ABC news that US health officials are strongly encouraging everyone to get vaccinated (if not already), get the booster if vaccinated to protect against both the Delta and Omicron variants, (and Covid in general). Given the inconsistent messages received since Covid epidemic started, particularly from CDC. It seems, absent underlying health conditions, and that an updated vaccine may be available in about a month,that perhaps waiting for the Moderna booster makes the most sense. What am I missing? 5. My siblings and I have been talking and I'm aware that there is a proof-of-vaccination requirement in place in Port Townsend and that everybody needs to show a vaccine card to be allowed into a restaurant. The problem is that my daughter's doctor told her she should not get vaccinated because of a medical condition that she has. My question is, if the antigen tests are so effective, is it possible that my daughter could simply get tested and show a negative result for entrance to a restaurant? Because people can still get breakthrough infections, wouldn't it be safer to have a negative test anyway? I know you can't bend the rules for a single person, but I'm well and truly baffled as to why a negative test wouldn't be sufficient for a short meal. 6. I cannot seem to find, on the Jeff Co Pub Health website,the list of recommended home tests. What shall I search for to find it? 7. Reading the Washington Post today made me wonder whether infection with the Omicron variant might provide strong protection against infection by the Delta variant. (Presumably, it would provide protection against reinfection by Omicron for a least a period of time.) Is this how Omicron could become dominant and turn COVID into a threat more on the order of flu? 8. We received our Moderna boosters as soon as they were authorized. The pharmacist told me it was a 1/3 dose, though I thought it was supposed to be a 1/2 dose. Either way, in light of the Omicron variant, is there any data on the effectiveness of this reduced dosage level?. Also, there has been a lot of media coverage about the Pfizer booster's effectiveness, but Moderna has seemed somewhat silent on the question so far. What is the latest data regarding effectiveness of the Moderna booster against the Omicron variant? 9. You recently emphasized making sure one's face mask fits well and tightly. We expect to be traveling by plane in February. Would it be wise for the bearded one of us to shave, so that a higher grade mask like a KN95 will fit more closely and give better protection? 2 Elk 10. It has been difficult to get BinaxNOW test kits locally. Today we found " iHealth" brand tests in a local pharmacy. It said FDA Emergency Use Authorization, but they were not listed on the Health Department's web site. They are made in China,. Should we avoid them? 11. I've been vaccinated and boosted and yet was unable to produce antibodies for covid because of prior medication use. If I were to contract covid and needed hospitalization what kinds of treatments are available for me here and what would be administered? 12. We have fully-vaxxed and boosted family flying in for Christmas. We bought rapid antigen tests as an extra layer of protection. When should they take the antigen test? 24 hours after landing? 48? Should we wear masks until the test results? 13. If you received the J&J vaccine originally and then receive a Moderna or Pfizer booster, are you as protected as someone who got all Moderna or Pfizer vaccines? 14. If you're vaxed, why does it matter if I get vaxed? I might understand if the vax prevented transmission or infection, but it doesn't. So, if somebody is vaxed, they can still get COVID-19 AND spread it. If the vax only lessens symptoms and chances of hospitalization and death, then my choice to not get vaxed only affects me! And if I'm not sick, it's not like I can give somebody else the virus anyway. 15. You sometimes refer to the FDA as an authority we should respect and listen to. Can you explain why the FDA is demanding 75 years to produce Pfizer data for an experimental product they needed only 108 days of review before authorizing? FDA Doubles Down: Asks Federal Judge to Grant it Until at Least the Year 2096 to Fully Release Pfizer's COVID- 19 Vaccine Data The fed gov't gives Pfizer billions in taxpayer money+ makes Americans take its product+won't let Americans sue for harm + shields disclosure of its licensure documents 16. I got both of my shots back in the spring and suffered through a four-day period of body aches, full-body chills and a 102-degree fever. It wasn't an enjoyable experience, but I'm still glad I have that protection. I've decided against getting boosted for a few reasons: I'm only in my forties, I'm a fairly healthy individual, I don't want to have another experience like I did after my second dose, and I've already had COVID in the past, before I got vaccinated. Do you think I should get a booster? 3 jeffbocc From: GIPSON, CARL <cg787v@att.com> Sent: Friday, December 17, 2021 10:39 AM To: Brent Butler Cc: Mark McCauley;jeffbocc; Ken Lyons; carly.nations@wirelesspolicy.com Subject: AT&T Thank You -Jefferson County Attachments: Jefferson County - Thank You Letter 2021.pdf Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

Each project improves our network, and the roll out of FirstNet helps to keep people safe by enhancing the effectiveness of public safety communications. Every year is different, and this past year presented new and unexpected challenges that required resilience and new ways of working together. The guidance and support of Jefferson County is essential to our success, and we are grateful for the opportunity to work with the Community Development Department staff. We'd like to especially acknowledge Jefferson County's Land Use and Permitting staff for their exceptional professionalism and dedication to service. We look forward to working together with the Jefferson County Community Development Department in 2022 as AT&T continues to enhance wireless connectivity and communications in the County.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hello, First I wanted to thank each of you for taking time to discuss this issue of the Development Moratorium when it first arised. I appreciated the concern in which each of you took the matter and also how it has been dealt with in meetings since. I wasn't able to attend the entire meeting on Dec. 6th when the workshop on the moratorium was conducted due to a work call. I am under the impression that on Monday Dec. 20th you will vote to approve the exceptions that have been worked on. I just wanted to encourage you to especially approve the exception (#6)for the development of these pre 1971 parcels for single family residences.After speaking again with the CDC today, I would also like to add that the requirement for only allowing one permit during this time span (this is the only exception with that restriction) causes the process to be more timely,expensive, and makes the path to building a single family residence insecure.This is something I have been dealing with personally since the moratorium has been in place and I am still on hold awaiting your vote Monday to see how I will proceed. By allowing the development of these parcels for a single family residence, without the restriction of only one permit during this timeframe, it allows folks like myself more of an opportunity to navigate the building process and feel secure moving forward. As you all well know, affordable housing is a critical issue in our county.There are many of us (myself included) who didn't dream of building a house in the county, but got priced out of any realistic chance of purchasing an existing house. Raw land in the county, owner financed in my case, is one path towards eventual home ownership and often the process takes multiple permits. I hope you will take this into consideration.

Every gift, from $10 to $3,000, has helped us get this far toward our goal, now in the home stretch! Your support powers exhibitions, collections care, historic preservation, programs, and education for all ages, and so much more - all that intangible curiosity we foster in our community is hard to quantify...and we are eternally grateful for the community support that makes this work possible. Before I sign off for the year, I encourage you to consider making a donation or 2 sending a note of caring to any of the numerous organizations helping with disaster relief in the American South. Over this past week I have often thought about my counterparts at Historical Societies in the counties devastated by the tornados, and all the work ahead of them as they assess the damage to historic structures, contemplate the loss of attic archives, and mourn the stories lost when we lose loved ones and their memories. If you love historic preservation and archives, and aren't sure of the best place to send your support, I suggest looking at the FAIC National Heritage Responder network, and the Smithsonian Cultural Rescue Initiative.

Defiance/Tahlequah route, which closed this evening due to a mechanical issue at the Tahlequah terminal. Service for tomorrow morning will be: • Pt.

We are notifying the public through passenger alerts and social media, giving customers as much notice as possible as they plan their Monday travel.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. All, As a frequent user of the Larry Scott Trail in the subject area, I am deeply upset with the proposed development of these lovely woods on these 27 acres into 71 small lots. I understand that the developer is planning to clearcut the entire plat, which will clearly degrade air quality, result in loss of wetlands, and reduce wildlife population to zero. Not only will this ruin this very nice stretch of the Larry Scott Trail, it will drastically increase car&truck traffic, along with the attendant emissions in the rural neighborhood. The idea of allowing a return to the mistaken pre-1971 small lots from the existing larger plots for the benefit of one developer seems very odd to say the least, especially when all other counties in WA State have stopped that practice. Please maintain the sensible existing moratorium and do not ignore the county's growth management plan. Shame on the County Board for even considering this rape of a very nice rural area. Keep the current size limit zoning RR5 and maintain the scale of existing housing, as well as the intent of the growth management plan. Thank you, Charles J Cannon, P.E. 234 Cass Street Port Townsend, WA 98368 206-484-8796 cjcannon@seanet.com 1 jeffbocc From: theresa percy <teopercy@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, December 27, 2021 6:35 AM To: Shannen Cartmel Cc: jeffbocc Subject: Comment on project MLA 20-00152 and MLA 21-00023 Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Greetings, I am writing to express my objections to Project MLA 20-000152 and MLA 21-00023. I keep my horses on Madden Lane across from Nelson's Landing Rd and Discovery Rd. and ride my horses down Nelson's Landing Rd to access the various trails in the area including the Larry Scott Trail. While I don't reside in the area I spend most of my time there, and have deep concerns about the impact the proposed development will have for the following reasons: too much density for the rural area,too much traffic, increased safety risks, deterioration and degradation of the Larry Scott Trail, an important statewide scenic trail, and a too,too much impact on the quality of life of the rural character of this area. While I understand the need for housing in Port Townsend,this project with its proposed 100 homes, tightly packed into a small area and not in compliance with the County's Comprehensive Plan is both irresponsible and inconsiderate of the HUGH impact on the area for the present and future. Development will happen but please, make it be responsible.

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 OlyCan 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 PTStyroCyclers( gmail.com or through their Facebook nAge.

Anticipated Meteorological "Bomb" Documented by King Tide Team dir tor en isH1e oa. <r h LiZI' ` V,t 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 0.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 10 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 1850-190o,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."

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. County & City Elected Officials in WSF-served communities, Good morning. Four updates to last night's service email: • Due to an increased number of breakthrough COVID cases, existing crewing shortages, weather-related staff travel challenges, and holiday leave, we will remain on the alternative service schedule, and two boats on Anacortes/San Juan Islands routes, though at least the end of the week. This means one-boat service on Seattle/Bainbridge, Seattle/Bremerton, Clinton/Mukilteo, Edmonds/Kingston, Port Townsend/Coupeville, and Point Defiance/Tahlequah, and two-boat service on the Fauntleroy/Southworth/Vashon and Anacortes/San Juan Islands routes. • This afternoon, due to a lack of crewing, service on the Port Townsend/Coupeville route will be suspended for the rest of the day after the 4.15pm sailing from Coupeville. • Service on the Point Defiance/Tahlequah route remains suspended due to a mechanical issue at the Tahlequah terminal. Maintenance staff are working on repairs allowing us to restore service on the route when safe to do so. • With frozen pipes at several terminals, which also negates our ability to pump sewage from vessels, which may close restrooms, we hope the public will consider delaying non-essential travel. Dispatchers continue working to crew the alternative service schedule and we'll update the public regarding the changes above and any further schedule adjustments. Best, John John B. Vezina Government Relations Director Washington State Ferries i From:Vezina,John Sent: Sunday, December 26, 2021 18:47 Subject:WSF Service Update County & City Elected Officials in WSF-served communities, With weather added to the challenges listed below in my Friday email, we will begin tomorrow's service on the alternative service plan, except there will only be two boats operating in the San Juan Islands, with service on the Interisland route suspended. We understand it is a work day for many of our passengers, but we are unable to crew more than a basic schedule. Service on the Port Townsend/Coupeville route, which was suspended this afternoon due to a lack of crewing will resume for at least the first part of the day, and we hope to resume service on the Pt. Defiance/Tahlequah route,which closed this evening due to a mechanical issue at the Tahlequah terminal. Service for tomorrow morning will be: • Pt. Defiance/Tahlequah—normal one-boat service, if repairs can be made to the Tahlequah terminal overnight • Fauntleroy/Southworth/Vashon"Triangle"—two-boat service • Seattle/Bremerton—one-boat service • Seattle/Bainbridge—one-boat service • Clinton/Mukilteo—one-boat service • Edmonds/Kingston—one-boat service • Port Townsend/Coupeville—one-boat service • Anacortes/San Juan Islands—two-boat service, with the Interisland vessel out of service. We are notifying the public through passenger alerts and social media, giving customers as much notice as possible as they plan their Monday travel. A cross-departmental WSF team will meet again tomorrow morning to discuss crewing options for tomorrow afternoon and the rest of the week. We will update passengers about service as soon as possible. Best, John From:Vezina,John Sent: Friday, December 24, 2021 14:49 Subject:WSF Christmas Day Service County & City Elected Officials in WSF-served communities, Good afternoon. With crewing availability challenges you're aware of, an increased number of breakthrough COVID cases among vessel crews, and the Christmas holiday, we face significant challenges tomorrow. WSF staff just met and have concluded we won't be able to operate beyond the alternative service schedule tomorrow on any routes, and two routes will have reduced service: • Pt. Defiance/Tahlequah— service suspended for the day. • Fauntleroy/Southworth/Vashon"Triangle"—two-boat service • Seattle/Bremerton—one-boat service • Seattle/Bainbridge—one-boat service 2 • Clinton/Mukilteo—one-boat service • Edmonds/Kingston—one-boat service • Port Townsend/Coupeville—one-boat service • Anacortes/San Juan Islands—two-boat service, with the possibility of one-boat service We understand that while there will be less ridership on this major holiday, those who are riding need as much time as possible to adjust plans. We'll be alerting the public through passenger alerts and social media, asking them to check alerts before traveling. John John B.

Hello Kate & Heidi This confirms that KPTZ is on board to air the 1/3/22 public health briefings to extend for the full hour, beginning at 9:45am. We will also promote the broadcast ahead of time to let people know JHC and Mike Glenn will be speaking, given the considerable interest in the community to receive this valuable information. Heidi, Kate shared that you will be chairing the upcoming meetings and that she will fill you in on the protocol to enjoin the meeting for the broadcast. Donn Trethewey, KPTZ's DJ host, always has the meeting displayed on his computer screen by 9:40am. If you want signal him to start early in the future, he will see you on the Zoom if you simply wave to indicate it's time to start. Normally Donn fades up the feed at exactly 9:45am, per the schedule, but we can be a bit flexible when needed. Seems like a milestone to turn the gavel over to the 3rd commissioner to chair the meetings since the briefings and broadcasts began in 3/2020 with Dr. Locke and Greg Brotherton front and center. We all certainly hope that the pandemic will fade out in relative short time, both here in Jefferson County and everywhere. Feel free to call on KPTZ in coming days and months, at your service. Wishing you both exquisite holidays, and thanks for all you do to represent us! /Kate Ingram General Manager 91.9FM KPTZ PO Box 2091 Port Townsend, WA 98368 707-227-2661-c KPTZ Mg 144 On Dec 22, 2021, at 3:29 PM, Kate Dean <KDean@co.iefferson.wa.us>wrote: Hi Dr. Berry and Willie, I wanted to let you know that I have asked Jefferson Healthcare to join us at our 9:45am Covid briefing on Monday,January 3rd to provide a status update. Mike Glenn (cc'd here)will work on identifying who will be joining us, likely a doctor for the clinical perspective and perhaps Mike from an administrative. I think we should schedule a full hour for this discussion,though if folks need to present their info and depart that is fine. I know their update in September(I believe?)was much appreciated by the listening audience. This is just an FYI to all the folks that need to be in the loop. We'll be in touch next week to confirm who will be participating and get appropriate links to JH. I couldn't be more grateful for the good work of Public Health, Emergency Management and Jefferson Healthcare. I'm heartbroken that you all have another mountain to summit when your stamina is already compromised, but I know you will somehow continue to show up and do the often thankless work of protecting our communities.

The compensation program is run by the HRSA, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Established in 2010 through the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act of 2005, the CICP not only provides benefits to people who've suffered serious injuries or death as a result of being given a countermeasure, but it also protects individuals and companies involved in producing or administering the countermeasures from lawsuits, unless it can be shown that there was willful misconduct. Under the CICP, people may be compensated for medical expenses not fully reimbursed or paid by insurance or government programs like Medicaid, lost wages from not being able to work for more than five days, and a death benefit for someone who has died.

Radiant Life Mind&Body Inspired Arts&Culture A total of 5,242 claims have been filed with the CICP from 2010 to Nov 1, 2021, of which 4,751 claims are related to injuries Family&Education American Essence or death from COVID-19 countermeasures, specifically 2,297 claims are for COVID-19 vaccines and 2,454 for other countermeasures. To be considered for benefits, people must file a claim within one year of the date they received a countermeasure, or their claim will be rejected. But in the event that the CICP develops a COVID-19 Countermeasures Injury Table and the HHS Secretary publishes it on the Federal Register, people have one year from the effective date of the injury table to file a claim even though their previous claim was denied. "When a countermeasure injury table is developed or amended, requesters who previously could not establish a Table injury have one year from the effective date of the Table or amendment to file a request for benefits, even if a previous request was denied," Bowman said. "The extended filing deadline only applies if the Table amendment enables a requester who could not establish a Table injury before the amendment to establish such an injury." The CICP has yet to develop such an injury table, citing insufficient data to establish an injury or death was a direct result of a given countermeasure. Bowman said an injury table for COVID- 19 countermeasures "will be developed when there is sufficient data to meet the `compelling, reliable, valid, medical and c�iantifir avirlanra ' ctanrlarrl inrlioatina https://www.theepochti mes.com/claim-alleg ing-inj ury-or-death-from-a-covid-l9-countermeasure-to-be-compensated_4164395.html?utm_campaign=so... 3/8 12/23/21, 11:31 AM Claim Alleging Injury or Death From a COVID-19 Countermeasure to Be Compensated Pending establishment of COVID-19 Radiant Life Mind&Body Inspired tl�eji sures Injury Table, claims " may be filed as non-Table injuries and eligibility for compensation will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Family&Education American Essence Program," he added. The Countermeasures Injury Table A screenshot of the smallpox countermeasures injury table.(federalregister.gov/screenshot via The Epoch Times) A countermeasures injury table lists the countermeasures covered, the particular injuries caused by the administration of that countermeasure, and the occurrence of the injury within a specific time period. If an individual filing a claim can show that their "injury is listed on the table and was sustained within the relevant time interval (and meets any other requirements set forth in the table), CICP will presume the injury was a direct result of the covered countermeasure," according to a report (pdf) by the Congressional Research Service.

John Howie, a trial lawyer focused on vaccine and personal injury, told The Epoch Times in an earlier interview that the compensation program is only a "feel good" program. "I call it a 'feel good' program. We like to say we have it because it makes people feel better. But when you dig into it, it is a joke," Howie said. "There is no transparency like a true judicial process. There is no provision for attorney's fees, thus making it difficult for any injured individual to even retain a lawyer. Any appeals are handled by [three] people hand-selected by HHS to review the claim." Since its establishment, the CICP has only compensated 29 claims alleging injury from the H1N1 or the smallpox vaccine, paying out a total of over$6 million.

(Stanislav Kogiku/POOL/AFP via Getty Images) Family&Education American Essence While only one COVID-19 countermeasures claim is pending to be compensated in the United States, Japan has already paid out 29 of its 41 claims of injury from a COVID-19 vaccine in August 2021, according to a Japanese newspaper The Mainichi. Japan has a no-fault compensation program, which is called the health damage relief system, that provides benefits to people whose health was injured from receiving a vaccine endorsed by the government, as part of the Immunization Act. All three COVID-19 vaccines—Pfizer, Takeda/Moderna, and AstraZeneca— administered in Japan are covered in the compensation program. The Japanese government has decided to not mandate the vaccines and reminded businesses and people to "not force anyone in your workplace or those around you to be vaccinated, and do not discriminate against those who have not been vaccinated." A web link to a human rights consultation was also provided on the Health Ministry, Labor and Wellbeing COVID-19 vaccine webpage. The government has instead taken a different approach from other countries: recommending its citizens to get vaccinated only after they have received all of the information on the risks and benefits of the vaccine. "Vaccination will be given only with the https://www.theepochtimes.com/claim-al legi ng-injury-or-death-from-a-covid-19-countermeasure-to-be-compensated_4164395.html?utm_cam paign=so... 6/8 12/23/21, 11:31 AM Claim Alleging Injury or Death From a COVID-19 Countermeasure to Be Compensated . .. i,dlJ'Ul, V'VCl'I[7C1)Tg-'WI"tJCC: ..

Wild Fish Conservancy OUR SOUND, OUR SALMON x ,11 . • 1 5 A Second Court Rejects Cooke Aquaculture's Challenge Over Termination of Port Angeles Net Pen Lease i This week,Cooke Aquaculture faced another legal defeat. A second Washington state court rejected efforts by the seafood giant to sue Washington's Department of Natural Resources over the termination of the company's lease for their Port Angeles net. On Tuesday,the Washington Court of Appeals issued an opinion affirming a lower court ruling upholding the Department's decision to terminate the lease back in 2017.This decision concludes a nearly four-year appeal process that began in early 2018 when Cooke filed suit against DNR,arguing the agency had wrongfully terminated the lease ahead of the 2025 expiration date. We hope you'll join us in thanking Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources for their unwavering commitment to protecting Puget Sound in the face of Cooke's meritless,costly,and time-consuming lawsuit. With Cooke's only remaining leases set to expire next year beginning in March,this week's Court decision could not have come at a more important time.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Jefferson Board of Commissioners, Public comments were truncated from 3 to 2 minutes each at the last two Board of Health meetings, despite only having 2-3 local commentators on queue. Both meetings included a ringer from out-of-county during the public comment period,which is your call, but shouldn't detract from comment opportunities for actual county residents. So my own comment had to be fast-talked before being cut off by the chair. To recapitulate, I was asking Health Officer Berry for clarification of her confusing public accusation that a Port Townsend Free Press"article claims that a person in Jefferson County has suffered a long-term disability because of their vaccine, and that is actually not true.We have not had any cases of that." https://media.avcaptureall.cloud/meeting/ff87cbgd-7fa4-4fif-a457-a6o6cfsdfo3c https://www.peninsuladailynews.com/news/three-die-from-covid-sg-in-clallam-county/ But a 27-year-old Port Townsend resident is on record with documentary evidence from Virginia Mason that she had 2 heart attacks and 70%loss of function caused by Covid vaccination. So I'm trying to understand precisely what Dr. Berry is attacking as"truly false". Is she claiming this event didn't happen? Or is she parsing words and claiming loss of heart function doesn't constitute "long-term disability"? Contrary to her mistaken statement, neither"long-term" nor "disability"appears in the original article. https://www.porttownsendfreepress.com/2o2i/n/21/young-heart-damaged-by-pfizer-vaxpt-woman-27-now-has- heart-of-an-8o-year-old/ https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/report-part-ii-young-womans-heart-believed-to-have-been-damaged-by- pfizer-vaccine/ I also find troubling Dr. Berry saying she "can't confirm or deny any individual patient's experience"due to"very stringent rules around patient privacy", but then goes on to say"what we do know" is that the"long-term disability" experienced by an individual patient is"truly false". Frankly, I don't know what to make of her self-contradictory statements, but it appears that Dr. Berry is trying to have it both ways by publicly accusing a patient of being a liar while pretending it would violate"patient privacy"to present any evidence for her privacy-violating accusation. Dr. Berry regularly campaigns against what she calls"misinformation", but from what I've seen,she may be the number one misinformation super-spreader on the peninsula. https://www.porttownsendfreepress.com/2oz1/io/o3/health-enforcers-catch-misinformation-fever/ Commissioners, it is not good enough simply to say you "back Dr. i Berry" regardless of whatever she says or does. Please attend to the specifics of the questions I have raised. I am trying to give you and your employee an opportunity to clarify or retract statements that on their face appear to be actionable slander,violation of HIPAA privacy rights,and abuse of public office.

We are so grateful for this support, and for the opportunity to better understand how to memorialize individuals buried there and the communities they represent. As outlined in our proposal,this funding will cover a year of increased work hours from our Research Assistant to account for dedicated research time,travel expenses to regional archives, translation of documents if needed, and meetings with community members and descendants. Although research is one of the less public-facing aspects of our organization's work and mission, it's a vital part of what we do, and it informs so much of our interpretation,exhibits,and programs. This grant funding shows us that the County values this work that is so foundational to learning more about our region's history and we appreciate it deeply. We wouldn't be able to do our work without support of many.Grant funding has been particularly vital to our resilience and incremental growth as an organization in 2021, and we look forward to building on the momentum it has afforded us as we look forward to 2022.

During this time, storms can cause road washouts, debris flows, or flooding events.The historic Category 5 atmospheric river event in November brought significant flood damage resulting in potentially long-term road closures. `Atmospheric rivers are relatively long, narrow regions in the atmosphere—like rivers in the sky—that transport most of the water vapor outside of the tropics. These columns of vapor move with the weather, carrying an amount of water vapor roughly equivalent to the average flow of water at the mouth of the Mississippi River. When the atmospheric rivers make landfall, they often release this water vapor in the form of rain or snow,"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 2017. Between November 12 and 15, an atmospheric river event dropped heavy rainfall on areas that were already saturated from recent storm events. Increased runoff from the event triggered multiple debris flows which impacted Forest Service Roads and caused 10 major road failures. As a result of this damage,several roads in the northwest portion of the Olympic National Forest have been closed and will remain closed for up to two years until repairs can be made.We urge visitors to respect all road closure signs. In some locations remaining asphalt may not be adequate to support vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and some stretches of road have been completely washed out. Restoring access to these areas is among the Forest's top priorities. Forest Service staff have assessed the damage and are actively seeking funding through Emergency Relief for Federally Owned Roads(ERFO)and other sources to pay for needed repairs. Closed Roads: 1 • Forest Service Road 29(Sitkum-Solduc Rd/"A" Road)—Closed between mile posts 2.7 and 33.5 • Forest Service Road 2922—Closed at about mile post 2.0 for the rest of the roadway • Forest Service Road 2923-closed at milepost 12 when driving from Cooper Ranch Road • Forest Service Road 2932(Bogachiel Rd/Undi Rd)—Closed about 4.3 above private lands • Forest Service Road 30—Closed between mile post 8.5 to 10.5 Alerts and Notices can be found at, https://www.fs.usda.nov/alertsielympicialects-notices.

Durante este tiempo, las tormentas pueden causar deslaves en las carreteras, flujos de escombros o inundaciones. El historico atmosferico rio evento de categoria 5 en noviembre provoco significante danos por inundaciones que resultaron en cierres de carreteras potencialmente a largo plazo. "Los rios atmosfericos son regiones relativamente largas y estrechas en Ia atmOsfera, como rios en el cielo, que transportan la mayor parte del vapor de agua fuera de los tropicos. Estas columnas de vapor se mueven con el clima,transportando una cantidad de vapor de agua aproximadamente equivalente al flujo promedio de agua en la desembocadura del rio Mississippi. Cuando los rios atmosfericos tocan tierra, muchas veces liberan este vapor de agua en forma de Iluvia o nieve",Administracion Nacional Oceanica y Atmosferica (NOAA),2017. Entre el 12 y el 15 de noviembre, un atmosferico rio evento dejo caer fuertes Iluvias en areas que ya estaban saturadas por tormentas recientes. El aumento de la escorrentia del evento provoco multiples flujos de escombros que afectaron a Forest Service Roads y causaron 10 fallas importantes en las carreteras. Como resultado de este darn,varias carreteras en la parte noroeste del Bosque Nacional Olympic se han cerrado y permaneceran cerradas hasta por dos arms hasta que se puedan hacer las reparaciones. Urgimos a los visitantes que respetan todas las senales de cierre de carreteras. En algunos lugares, el asfalto restante puede no ser adecuado para soportar el trafico de vehiculos o caminantes,y algunos secciones de Ia carretera han sido completamente arrasados. Restaurar el acceso a estas areas es una de las principales prioridades del bosque. El personal del Servicio Forestal ha evaluado los danos y esta buscando activamente fondos a traves de Emergencia para Carreteras de Propiedad Federal (ERFO)y otras fuentes para pagar las reparaciones necesarias. Carreteras cerradas: • Forest Service Road 29(Sitkum-Solduc Rd/"A" Road)-Cerrado entre los postes de millas 2.7 y 33.5 • Forest Service Road 2922-Cerrado aproximadamente en el poste de milla 2.0 para el resto de la carraetera • Forest Service Road 2923: cerrado en la milla 12 cuando se conduce desde Cooper Ranch Road • Forest Service Road 2932(Bogachiel Rd/Undi Rd)-Cerrado alrededor de 4.3 por encima de terrenos privados • Forest Service Road 30-Cerrado entre los postes de milla 8.5 a 10.5 Las alertas y avisos se pueden encontrar en hitios://www.fs.usda.govialerts/olympicialerts-notices.Tenga cuidado al viajar dentro del bosque durante Ia temporada de Iluvias e informe los problemas de la carretera a Ia Oficina Nacional Forestal Olimpica de su localidad.

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 PTStyroCyclers@gmail.com or through their Facebook page.

Anticipated Meteorological "Bomb" Documented by King Tide Team oattat, da �� Aaut.., 01000 11 P98 1 1 f. `, ",sr,'r \The Local 20/2o King Tide team documented the tides and water levels on 10/25/21, 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-i9oo,warming at a rate without precedent in at least 2000 years,possibly longer.This report confirms that the climate-driven changes occurring around the world are widespread,rapid,and intensifying.Our influence on the climate is 10 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."

For millennia Jefferson County has been inhabited by the Coast Salish Tribes including the S'Klallam, Suquamish, Makah, Chemakum, Quileute, and Twana/Skokomish nations. Today, however, some historians believe the Chemakum people to be extinct. Naiome Krienke disagrees. Her heritage is S'Klallam and Makah, but her bloodline began generations ago as Chemakum. Her great, great grandparents and family lived on the lands ranging from Port Townsend to Hood Canal. As a young child, Naiome would hear from her teachers, "Oh no, sweetie, the Chemakum people are extinct." As a young woman, Naiome desired to rediscover the narratives of her ancestors, and to make it known to indigenous and non-indigenous people alike that 4 Chemakum are not extinct. They are here and have stories to tell. Now, in her 40's, she has the opportunity to do exactly that. Early this year, Naiome brought her vision to Jefferson Community Foundation (JCF). Inspired by her story and the legacy she intended to build, staff set to task connecting her with like-minded donors and community partners in JCF's network � � \ of changemakers. The result was a grant supporting not only research into Chemakum history but the construction of a traditional community longhouse. All to, "bring the culture of the longhouse back to Chemakum / S'Klallam territory. To remember and uplift the ancestors and descendants of the indigenous peoples of this place," Naiome says. Connections like these are a result JCF's ongoing work to not only understand the landscape of need in Jefferson County - the trends, obstacles, and opportunities that define our community's health - but also to listen to and preserve cultural heritage. When history is lost, so too is a deeper, richer sense of community. Naiome's desire to recover and retell the stories of her people resonated with JCF and donors like Becky and Dale Nienow. The Nienow's retired to Port Townsend to be closer to family after years of active involvement in the nonprofit sector. Keen to bring their philanthropy home to their new community, but unfamiliar with the landscape, they were recommended to join in a JCF Giving Circles. Giving Circles are a way to help neighbors, friends and family 5 members come together to learn --- about the needs of the community, "Our relationship with JCF really discuss how they could make a began when we joined a Giving positive impact, and then pool their Circle,"Becky says. "Having their charitable donations to fund specific guidance was invaluable. They efforts or organizations. helped us figure out the best ways to look at a range of issues and understand how we could best address them." "Our relationship with JCF really began when we joined a Giving Circle," Becky says. "Having their guidance was invaluable. They helped us figure out the best ways to look at a range of issues and understand how we could best address them." Encouraged by the success of their Giving Circles, the Nienow's established a local Donor Advised Fund and, for the past four years, have worked closely with JCF to review opportunities and allocate grants through their DAF each year. This year, as they were still reeling from the murder of George Floyd and racial injustices suffered by the BIPOC community nationwide, they wanted to, as Dale puts it, "Continue to be aware and appalled, but not to feel helpless. Rather, find ways to help." For the Nienow's, Naiome's story resonated. "The notion that identity of the Chemakum in this area has been disappeared, and the idea that you would have someone wanting to say, 'No, we're still here, and we have a story' - that's the spirit we need in our community," Dale says. "We don't need to be separate. Naiome's idea is a brilliant vision for bringing us together in a way that hasn't happened over the past centuries." [IPVisions, however, usually need a bit of help. Since Naiome is not a 501(c)3 organization but rather a working mother, gifting to her directly would have been complicated for the Nienow's. Partnering with JCF, the trio enlisted the help of Black Lives Matter of Jefferson 6 County, to serve as a fiscal sponsor for fundraising, and the Jefferson County Historical Society and other Coast Salish Tribes to be partners in the grant. For Naiome, the grant will allow her to walk the land literally and figuratively. As she scouts for a location for the longhouse build, she will also retrace and reconstruct her family's history in the area. Her personal story as well as that of her people over the past centuries has been, as she admits, traumatic. Colonization of tribal lands, violent disenfranchisement, children lost to residential schools have not just diminished the number of Chemakum in the area, but for far too many, also their desire to even remember their history. As Naiome puts it, "It is good walking around and seeing the places my ancestors lived. Recent generations have pulled away from the land and have not been living the way we should and that causes us to feel a disconnect with the Earth - a connection we need. I'm not doing that with my children." Instead, she will be compiling recorded historical documents and oral histories from the community and Chemakum elders and share what she learns with the help of the Jefferson County Historical Society for the time being. But in her dream of dreams, her stories and history come alive in a traditional longhouse built on Chemakum land. A ceremonial place where, as Naiome explains, "We can hold potlatches with the community and open up a great doorway of healing - healing that comes from people knowing that we - Chemakum - exist and by saying, 'Oh, I didn't know that. Now I do." *According to Johnny Moses, a Tulalip Native American fluent in 8 Native languages, this is the translation of"Chemakum."

Hi Commissioner Dean, As we get close to the end of the year I'm reflecting on Transportation Choices Coalition's transportation advocacy work over the last few months. The #TakesTransportation campaign encouraging legislators to pass a transformative package was one of our most energizing and important fights. I wanted to take a moment just to say thank you for being part of it. A really incredible coalition of over 120 local elected leaders wound up joining that campaign — including you! — and I'm honestly still humbled and amazed by how many people from all over the state want this to happen. The regular legislative session gets underway in early January, and we expect transportation will be a top priority. We'll be keeping everyone in the loop in two ways: first, with a weekly email summary of what's happening in Olympia, and second, with a weekly call on Fridays to discuss what's happening in a bit more detail. Would you be interested in being added to one or both of those? In addition, please let me know if there is ever a way we could support your work on transportation issues. We're always ready to rally more support for transit and biking/walking infrastructure — let us know if we can support your work in the year ahead!

All the best, ROB R C H A R D S District Representative Office of Congressman Derek Kilmer Office: (253) 272-3515 Cell: (202) 695-66io 95o Pacific Avenue ! Tacoma, WA 984o2 Kilmer.house.gov Twitter: Qa repderekkilmer Facebook: ®Derek.Kilmer FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 20, 2021 Prtmdly Represottung Wier inp to t'a th Dodrict Kilmer Introduces Bipartisan Legislation to Support and House Veterans Tacoma, WA—Today, U.S. Representative Derek Kilmer(WA-06) introduced the Tiny Homes for Homeless Veterans Act of 2021, bipartisan legislation to create new housing for veterans experiencing homeless. The legislation would establish a new pilot program within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Grant and Per Diem (GPD) program that can create more individualized transitional homes and provide more affordable housing options for veterans. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, on a single night in January 2020, over 37,000 of our nation's veterans experienced homeless—including an estimated 1,600 in Washington state. Nearly all of them experienced homelessness as individuals (98%). Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to further exacerbate this crisis. i "Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to those who put their lives on the line to defend our freedom. That means that every veteran should have a home, and it shouldn't be under a freeway overpass," said Rep. Kilmer. "That's why I'm proud to introduce bipartisan legislation to help provide more accessible, affordable, and safe housing options for veterans experiencing homelessness." The Tiny Homes for Homeless Veterans Act of 2021 creates a pilot program from the VA's existing GPD program that would provide grants for recipients to build villages of individualized tiny transitional homes for our nation's veterans who are experiencing homelessness. The individualized homes are a key to the pilot program and offer enhance safety nets and privacy for certain veteran populations—including women and the LGBTQ+ community. The villages would include wrap-around supportive services for the veterans and their families. The legislation would: • Require the VA to establish a 6-year pilot program as part of the GPD program to award five grants totaling $10 million annually to recipients to build villages of tiny homes. • Utilize already existing GPD funds to establish the pilot program. • Fill gaps in the GPD program's case management by expanding veterans' access to critical resources to help them get quickly back on their feet. • Ensure veterans experiencing homelessness, and their families, have increased access to supportive services including job training benefits, counseling services, financial management, and educational opportunities. • Give preference to grant recipients who use energy efficient building materials, such as cross-laminated timber (CLT). • Require the VA to better track outcomes of veterans experiencing homelessness. The Tiny Homes for Homeless Veterans Act of 2021, which is co-sponsored by Rep. Nancy Macy (SC-01), is supported by the National Alliance to End Homelessness, Up for Growth Action, AMVETS, the American Legion, the Fleet Reserve Association, Pennies for Quarters, and the Composite Recycling Technology Center. "This is an outstanding piece of legislation that will help our military veterans who are homeless," said David Walter, CEO of the Composite Recycling Technology Center, who have developed sustainable wood panels for tiny homes. "We applaud Congressman Kilmer for his leadership in promoting much needed housing that is both durable and energy efficient for those who have served our country and need a hand up." "We will come together to support veterans," said Dona Ponepinto, CEO of United Way of Pierce County. "There is dignity in providing ample housing resources for veterans fighting homelessness and all who deserve a place to call home. A partnership between the VA and local providers will help us fulfill the promises we have made as a community by forging a pathway out of poverty together." "We are proud to support the Tiny Homes for Homeless Veterans Act, a bill to provide much-needed housing to those who have made heroic sacrifices for our country," said Mike Kingsella, CEO of Up for Growth Action. "It is unacceptable for a veteran or any American to sleep without a roof over their head, yet in the United States, more than 37,000 veterans experienced homelessness in 2020. With hundreds of thousands of veterans struggling to afford rent and an eight percent homeless rate among former service members nationwide, now is the time for common-sense policy solutions that recognize and honor their service. We applaud Reps. Kilmer and Mace for their leadership on this vital issue and for introducing innovative legislation to help address the nation's housing shortage. The Tiny Homes for Homeless Veterans Act is a bold step in the right direction for supporting veterans with accessible and affordable housing." 2 "As Executive Director of Quixote Communities, a Washington nonprofit that develops and manages permanent supportive housing for veterans and others experiencing homelessness, I am proud to support this bill," said Colleen Carmichael, Executive Director of Quixote Communities. "The tiny home village model has produced tremendous success for Quixote Communities' residents, helping many to improve their health, reconnect with family, go back to school and/or obtain employment. This year, we were proud to open a tiny home veterans village in Orting, Washington, and will open another in Shelton, Washington, next year. This bill will help transform the lives of those who served our country, and it deserves all of our support." "FRA supports this legislation because we believe the VA and other government agencies should enhance and invest in efforts to ensure that veterans' homelessness is rare, brief, and nonrecurring," said John Davis, Director of Legislative Programs for the Fleet Reserve Association. "We appreciate Rep. Kilmer's efforts to explore the use of prefabricated housing as temporary accommodations for homeless veterans."—National Alliance to End Homelessness "As a military veteran, I know first-hand some of the challenges that our brave service men and woman go through during re-entry," said Matthew Rainwater, founder and president of Pennies For Quarters, who are working to build tiny homes for homeless veterans in Port Angeles, WA. "As a not for profit, securing the needed funding is all that stands in the way of achieving our vision of providing a hand up to homeless vets by offering a clean, safe place to live." ### RIGHT Communications Director Pronouns: He/him Office of Representative Derek Kilmer (WA-6) C: 202-734-0576 Click here to sign-up for updates from Derek 3 Julie Shannon From: Greg Brotherton Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2021 4:01 AM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: COVID-19 Weekly Report - 12/21/21 From: Village Council Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2021 4:00:56 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Greg Brotherton Subject: COVID-19 Weekly Report - 12/21/21 ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Commissioners, On December 18th I waited at the Haller Fountain stop for the #2, scheduled to arrive at 12:19p. When the bus didn't arrive at 12:26p, I double-checked the schedule and the Jefferson Transit website and there was no indication that the bus was late and no alert was sent. I called transit to speak with customer service, but they were closed. I called back and pressed the option for Dial-a-Ride / Dispatch and was able to speak with someone, I was told the bus was 10 minutes late. The bus did not arrive until AFTER 12:40p - 20 minutes late! The #2 is scheduled to depart from the Haines Street Park and Ride at the top of the hour. How is it that it took twice as long to arrive at the scheduled stop and no one thought it was important to send out an alert, especially with all the rain? What are the policies and procedures for this situation? If there had been an alert sent out or a notice on the website, I would have chosen to walk a block and take the shuttle. When the bus finally arrived, the driver was very apologetic. I asked what happened and he said there was a scheduling issue. Guess someone forgot to leave the P&R at the top of the hour? It simply doesn't take 40 minutes. 1 This situation is among a long list of deficiencies that plague Jefferson Transit which accumulate year after year. No wonder people don't want to use the bus. Perhaps it's time for Clallam Transit to manage the agency. Clallam Transit is extremely well managed, has comfortable buses, and is very progressive. Think of the money that could be saved on management salaries. Additionally, Clallam Transit has a fantastic feature that allows bus riders to track their bus in real time. It's so 21st Century. My greatest praise for Clallam Transit is the increased service for their Strait Shot route. Increasing frequency opens up so many options for car-free travel on the Peninsula as well as connecting to Seattle. It even operates on Sunday. Yet Jefferson Transit makes no effort to connect to this vital service. Heaven forbid that JT management explore micro-transit to connect the region. Instead, to meet up with the Strait Shot, one has to take a taxi from Port Townsend. The lack of competence and commitment to excellence by JT management is bewildering. What is most disturbing though, is that the transit component is absolutely crucial in addressing our climate catastrophe, and there seems to be no sense of emergency with this current management. There's no focus on ecotourism either. Years ago I could travel car-free to PT from Seattle, when there was Sunday service. If money is an issue, perhaps the PT Lodging Tax Advisory Committee should have allocated the $30,000 spent on tree lights, for transit, to bring travelers here. Maybe next year the LTAC will act responsibly. Bold decisions need to be made as if those decisions matter, because they do!

While you wait, please ensure that you have completed all the previous courses available to you. If you have not completed them, you will be unable to begin the latest additions as they go live.

Salmon and resident fish species have returned to two creeks that run under US 101 in Port Angeles following a $36 million fish barrier correction project. Scarsella Brothers, Inc. crews working for Washington State Department of Transportation have completed work in Bagley and Siebert Creeks. "As tributaries to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, we know how important these channels are for spawning and migration," said WSDOT Project Engineer Dan McKernan. "We appreciate the traveling public's patience while construction was underway." Work at both locations opened 41 miles of potential upstream habitat for several migratory species, including salmon, bull trout and steelhead, as well as resident marine life. Crews removed and replaced five outdated culverts as part of this project: two under US 101, two along James Page Road and one along South Bagley Creek Road. No additional lane closures are planned related to this work. The project was completed on time and on budget. A commitment to protecting the environment Correcting fish passage barriers is an important part of the state's efforts to protect and restore fish runs where culverts under state highways keep them from continuing upstream. In 2013, a federal court injunction required the state to significantly increase the state's efforts in removing state-owned culverts that block habitat for salmon, bull trout and steelhead.

If a doctor were to link a treatment like Ivermectin to an off-protocol diagnosis, such as COVID-19, the ACO will be financially punished and the doctor would face consequences, Stock said. To change the diagnosis code to a government acceptable code but use the medicine for something else would be fraud.

We can best do this by engaging representatives from counties and cities to review and provide input on drafts as they are developed. The Climate Change Chapter Review group is designed to develop and publish guidelines and guidance for a model climate change element. This includes providing a set of actions counties and cities may take under existing statutory authority, through updates to their Growth Management Act (GMA) comprehensive plans and development regulations. The existing GMA plans should demonstrate ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to achieve the statewide greenhouse gas emissions reductions set forth in RCW 70A.45.020(1) Who We're looking for i Current city or county planners who work on comprehensive plan updates. This expertise is important as we will ask participants to review draft materials, including: • climate goals, objectives, and policies; and • potential climate change best practices and actions. The Climate Change Review Group will also evaluate measures for both climate change mitigation and resilience, and determine their usefulness to a county or city planner who works on GMA comprehensive plans. The project duration is scheduled for February 2022 through June 2023, with meetings every other month and approximately five hours of preparation time per month. All meetings will be virtual through Microsoft Teams. If interested in joining the project, please contact us.

I have asked around the community and people are telling me that the overnight shelter in the basement at the Legion is still in operation, but I have yet to get any"official"to confirm this. I find this highly distressing since the very people who need to know where to shelter overnight are having to search for the information when we should be putting it out all over the place right now.There are past articles that talk about a dispute over the building lease and such, implying that the Legion shelter might not continue. There is another article saying that due to Covid the shelter was going to be dispersed.All of this sends a message that the shelter is not there. How can we fix this situation immediately to help people right now? https://www.peninsuladailynews.com/news/here-are-places-to-get-warm-on-the-north-olympic-peninsula/ PAMELA ROBERTS 752 Hectors Way Quilcene, WA 98376 360-765-0124 pamelarobertsl(a�gmail.com Inspiring students to become the great thinkers and leaders of tomorrow 1 PAMELA ROBERTS 752 Hectors Way Quilcene, WA 98376 360-765-0124 pamelarobertsl(a�gmail.com Inspiring students to become the great thinkers and leaders of tomorrow 2 jeffbocc From: E Lessing Sokol <preussenfrau@hotmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2021 1:45 PM Subject: Look who will benefit Attachments: 60e0b3060a94828c79a077de4bc576e5.mp4 ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

Three Reasons to Give for Wild Fish Today 1 As we count down the days to the end of the year,there's never been a better time to donate in support of wild fish and their ecosystems! Below we've listed three great reasons to donate today,from a major$15.000 matching opportunity,special 2021 tax breaks for donors,and a few examples of what you made possible for wild salmon,steelhead,orcas,and coastal communities by investing to support science-based recovery and protection initiatives this year. Thanks to everyone whose already donated this season! 1. WE JUST RECEIVED A$15,000 MATCH! A generous group of supporters and board members have committed to match every dollar we receive after today up to$15,000.This means when you make a donation,every dollar will be doubled so your investment and impact will go twice as far for wild fish! Donate today to take advantage of this exciting opportunity&help us meet the match! DOUBLE YOUR DONATION 2. THERE'S A SPECIAL TAX BREAK FOR DONORS IN 2021 Don't miss the opportunity to take advantage of a special tax break made available to most taxpayers as part of the pandemic relief program. Through the end of this year,you can take a deduction of up to$300 on your 2021 taxes when you file your federal tax returns in 2022,even if you don't itemize! Married couples who file joint tax returns can take a deduction of up to$600,instead of being restricted to$300 as they were last year,according to the Internal Revenue Service. Deductions lower your taxable income,helping to reduce the amount of federal income tax you pay. Learn more by visiting IRS.gov and reach out to your tax specialist to see if you qualify. 2 MAKE A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION 3.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. I am writing as a concerned neighbor. I live right next door to the property being developed.This is my childhood home. We intentionally chose to live out in county to avoid the density of the city limits.We have coped with many challenges, for the first io years we had to haul water to live out here and even today we don't have curbside garbage service. These have been small prices to pay for privacy,quiet and space. I understand that the plat was designed long before our progressive development picture and it seems this developer putting in manufactured homes homes(yuck)is doing so on a loophole. Port Townsend is special because we Haven't sold out to the strip malls, big business and overdevelopment. I am particularly concerned with the traffic situation on Cape George. I can't even begin to imagine the congestion 6o+ new homes to this half mile of road will bring.As well as it will make the Cape George, Discovery intersection a nightmare affecting all the way through to Mill Road.The ins and outs of the road here simply have not been designed to accommodate that kind of movement.The layout is built for through traffic.Within the city limits the high density is accommodated by grid pattern streets here we will just have two roads that will bottle neck and congest all the time. Please consider this and the responsibility of the planning department to oversee our environment from its many facets. I realize there is a housing shortage particularly affordable housing. I do not believe this is going to fix it.These manufactured homes are going to go for top dollar and the real issue of our housing crisis is all the second homes and our demographics. I am afraid these new homes will be filled by out-of-towners and it will continue to drive up the real estate prices. Our workers,our local families will still be in need of housing. Please consider the impact to the vested citizens of Port Townsend and this neighborhood.

My personal concern as a long time resident (42 years) is the impact of this project on the Larry Scott Trail.

Jim Tolpin 1 jeffbocc From: Gary Zwissler <bzwiss@me.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2021 9:53 PM To: Shannen Cartmel;jeffbocc Subject: Project MLA20-00152 and MLA21-00023 ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. I am writing to express my disapproval of Project MLA20-00152 and MLA21-00023. due to numerous concerns. In summary my concerns are: -degradation of the Larry Scott Trail and it's intended purpose of providing recreation in a natural setting -too much density for a rural neighborhood - lack of wildlife protection - increased traffic in the neighborhood - lack of buffers - loss of wetlands -clearcutting will increase mill odors -water mains are already at low pressure and additional use may require costly upgrades. My specific concerns following a review of the SEPA checklist are delineated below: Section A Background A7. Paragraphs A6 and A7 indicate a piecemeal approach to the placement of utilities and paving roads. The community could well end up having to pay for road paving or other utility expenses if the developer defaults before finishing the roads and utilities. The applicant's proposal to not pave roads until 90%of the manufactured homes are installed may result in the roads never being paved. Development businesses fail regularly, the applicants corporate license is currently 12/28/2021 listed as "delinquent" on the WA Secretary of State site. A8. The TIA study uses an unverified "opinion" to adjust the traffic counts made during COVID lockdowns. Current TIA studies should be required. Section B Environmental Elements 2. Air b. The applicant claims that the Mill odor has not been noticed on the project site. Residents surrounding the project area know better, if the weather is "right" the mill odor can be very powerful. Once the trees are removed the mill odor will become much more apparent to everyone in the area near this project. 1 3. Water a. Contrary to the applicant's assertion that there are no seasonal wetlands on or in the immediate vicinity of the site there are several seasonal wetlands on the site. Adjoining landowners have confirmed these seasonal wetlands. 4. Plants d. The applicant describes a 20 foot clearing buffersurrounding the exterior of the site and a "20 foot clearing restriction area" around the perimeter of the site" Given the intensity of the proposed development a 50 foot clearing restriction around the perimeter of the site help to preserve the existing vegetation. Consulting the provided drawings, the clearing restriction is not shown for some portions of the site abutting the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail. The clearing restriction is absent on the entire southern edge of the project area. To preserve the existing vegetation,the clearing restriction should be required on the entire site perimeter. e. The applicant states that "no noxious weeds or invasive species are known to exist on site". The applicant states earlier in the checklist (4 a.)that the site contains "Scot's Broom", and it does contain Scotch Broom. Scotch Broom is an invasive and noxious species. Development activities which take place over more that a single season, as the applicant plans, disturb soils and allow for Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius)to overgrow native species. According to The Washington Invasive Species Council: "Scotch broom crowds out native species and negatively impacts wildlife habitat. It can form dense, impenetrable stands that degrade farmland and create fire hazards. It dense stands may prevent or slow forest regeneration and restoration of upland sites and wetland buffers. Scotch broom produces toxic compounds, which in large amounts can cause mild poisoning in animals such as horses." "Scotch broom is on Washington's Terrestrial Noxious Weed Seed and Plant Quarantine list"and "Scotch broom is listed as a Class B noxious weed in Washington, meaning it is designated for control in certain state regions" According to the Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board: 2 "It displaces native and beneficial plants, causing loss of grassland and open forest. It aggressively spreads to form monocultures, replacing desirable forage grasses and young trees. Seeds are toxic to livestock and horses." "Scotch broom can be found on roadsides, pastures, grasslands, open areas and areas of recent soil disturbance." According to the Jefferson County Noxious Weed Control Board: Scotch broom is a Class B Noxious Weed. it and within 50feet ofgravelpits and soil miningareas in Jefferson Control is required in ff Scotch Broom mitigation and control should be required. 5. Animals a. Deer, Racoon, Mountain Beaver, Cougar, Bobcat, Hawks, Eagles, Woodpeckers, Owls, Herons, and migratory birds are regularly seen. The entire project area is inside of the Pacific Flyway. All of the project area is used in one way or another by migratory birds. The applicants assertion that WDFW found no issues neglected to add the WDFD comment about the PHS dataset. "The Priority Habitats and Species (PHS) datasets do not contain information for your project area.This does not mean that species and habitats do not occur in your project area. PHS data, points, lines and polygons are mapped only when occurrences of these species or habitats have been observed in the field. Unfortunately, we have not been able to comprehensively survey all sections in the state and therefore, it is important to note that priority species and habitats may occur in areas not currently known to the Department". The project area should be studied carefully to determine what species actually depend on the project area for habitat. 8. Land and Shoreline Use a. The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail (AKA Larry Scott Trail) bisects this project. https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/pnt/home This trail is used by residents and visitors to our community. Residents worked very hard to dedicate this trail to public use. Destruction of the beloved "tree tunnel" on the trail appears to be part of this proposal. 3 Proposed project drawings show clearcutting and road building next to the trail with no buffer. The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail should be protected by a 50 foot clearing restriction. The state and federal agencies involved with resource management of the trail should be included just as county departments have been included in this process. Becky Blanchard Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail Administrator Forest Service Pacific Northwest and Northern Regions p: 503-808-2449 becky.blanchard@usda.gov e. The SEPA checklist asks, "What is the current zoning classification of the site?". The response is, "RR-5: Rural residential. Every person I have spoken with about this project has expressed utter dismay and anger that the rural environment we all supported when the GMA was implemented will potentially be destroyed by this project. When a county planner was recently asked directly"l've been told that if a BLA is done the new parcel boundaries supersede the old plat, and that all future development must adhere to current zoning requirements. Is that correct?"the answer was YES Please explain how this project is not subject to this requirement and how the proposed 68 home sites on 27 acres can comply with the RR-5: Rural residential zoning classification. 9. Housing c. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any: The applicant neglects to address the increased public infrastructure loading 71 housing units and approximately 200 people will produce in rural Jefferson County. Police and Fire/EMS loads will be impacted. The best example of an impact clearly not addressed is that of water and fire flow. At this time existing water lines do not support adequate pressure to existing residences. Fire flow testing should be done, and the applicant should be required to provide any additional water supply resource the development requires. 4 10. Aesthetics b. The applicant's statement concerning the alteration of views "No significant views are currently present as the site is fully treed and undeveloped. " is incorrect. There are currently woodland views from The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail and from all of the surrounding land. All of these views will be destroyed by the projects clearcutting. The applicants proposed "establishment of a 20 foot clearing restriction around the perimeter of the site" should be increased to 50 feet. 12. Recreation b. and c. The applicants proposed 20 foot clearing restriction around the perimeter of the site would make the applicants plan to "maintain some vegetation or replant or build fencing to screen the back yards of the lots" unnecessary. Replacement of forest with fencing will diminish the recreational value of the The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail. A 50 foot clearing restriction around the perimeter of the site should be required. 14. Transportation a. The 19 homes proposed in the section south of The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail are served by a single road with one access to a public highway. This makes emergency access and egress problematic. In an emergency one stalled vehicle can block all 19 homes. On a daily basis the single intersection access to Discovery road for 19 homes will be a problem. School bus access to these 19 homes would not be available due to lack of a bus turn around. d. and f. The TIA traffic study was done during a period of COVID lockdown. The numbers were "adjusted" to supposedly reflect the actual counts. A new TIA should be done. 15. Public Services a. and b. The applicant should be required to provide comment from public service providers such as police and fire/ems supporting the contention that the need for public services "will not likely be significant". 16. Utilities No description of the construction activity required to provide utilities has been provided as requested. The applicant should be required to provide the requested information. 5 General Comment: In many cases the applicant does not provide answers to direct questions, the applicant simply says again and again we will do "something" with no specificity. A decision as to the merits of this proposal requires facts. Please ask the applicant to answer the questions.

She wasn't sure she would like the program at all, but an advisor had recommended it because she's a hands-on, visual learner. Within the first two weeks of class, Taylor had rowed a portage pram solo, and loved it. Within a month, she had successfully rowed one mile solo.

One of the most grueling aspects of PTMA is working toward a Fishing Vessel Drill Conductor certification through the Alaska Marine Safety Education Association (AMSEA). The course is not usually offered to high school students, and is no mean feat: students have to complete 16 out of 18 skills tests, including extinguishing fire, controlling flooding, entering a life raft in the water, giving mayday calls, and completing emergency drills onboard a vessel. Plus PTMA students have to do a written test to ensure they fully understand the concepts before earning the certification. Taylor has completed 15 of those 18, including swimming in an immersion suit and 2 climbing into a floating life raft. Taylor had shared with her instructor that she's not a strong swimmer, and wasn't sure she could complete the skills. .N.0.,- kis.,„,..,„ T.,.,;•''.:41 ---, _.„1 ,, ' ,,,,;„ 't*„.,. .:,.,'-allt.' --.7- -‘4,"'h,,l.„.,... .„,,, 'N.4....., 1-19z,,, 2,:,,,,,,: •.‘„A . .7.4.e.tw, . x'Xe a `a y 1 vit)-7_„..- ,c, imilleil , , Jr) , .°,10 tlf viC. --;& .„=1- lft Itii, s < milinity7- A.k.t. , 5 s ,-N_,,..,,,,„, ,,,,,44,,,., .,,,,,r: . , „ „id '''''*4-is-' ',074prii,";*1!"' -iti r �a• om, ,.. .

She was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and attending MHS would mean moving away from home, not living with mom and dad, and not seeing her family every day (except for Christmas). Even after going on an exploratory trip for students and families aboard the Seattle cruise boat Argosy, she was still on the fence. But she decided to join MHS despite these hesitations. It sounded fun and interesting, and her Tia LeeAnne, who was involved in the creation of the school through her work at the Port of Seattle and Northwest Maritime Center, encouraged her to give it a try. Three months in, Giselle says that her life has improved drastically because of MHS. "I've met some incredible people. Being here has helped me with socializing, communicating, and being on a boat. So ith all the skills I'm learning, I feel like if I proceed into the maritime industry, I can get a really good job." 1 Maritime High School connects students with hands-on, Project Based Learning to create access to local maritime careers and open dim doors •to college. Through Project Based Learning, Maritime High School students acquire life skills that empower them to achieve their dreams. As Principal Tremain Holloway puts it: "Our aim is not to just meet students where they are, but where they dream of being." 4 I. , „1,,,-„, z,„0„......„,,,7'•• -'2,;:,` :-' ''s' '.s,:::', ''',. .''''''''V'::—';'' '7,s ,:-,"'s, ' s 4, .Ar ‘.. sk, '41W ..,,,,t,-T,..,,,,,-t?--.1t-J4"' .ak --„,, h,,,,,,,,s.s,•:'.,,,,,;z..,,,,..:,;.2,.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. It was the Peninsula Daily News who omitted mention of the Legion's overnight shelter(see message thread below). That should be corrected at least on the online newspaper immediately. I spoke with Cherish Cronmiller of Olycap on the phone and asked her where on their website would someone find a list of the overnight shelters in Port Townsend especially during this cold snap. She directed me to the housing link on the Olycap website,which brought up a form to fill out-and no list of the shelters. People who are not connected with an organization or don't want to be connected to an organization should be able to find a list of overnight shelters especially during weather such as what we are experiencing this week. I find the current lack of communication on this completely unacceptable and I told Cherish Cronmiller how I felt. She told me, "I don't have time for this." She also suggested that a better use of my time would be to "volunteer for the shelter." I told her that her sarcasm towards me was not appreciated and that my level of volunteerism in the community was not the issue. Poor public communication was my concern. That was the end of our conversation. Her response to my concerns was unacceptable. I have played benefit concerts for Olycap in the past- I'm not inclined to do so again in the future with this kind of attitude being shown to my very serious concerns about poor public information practices- practices that could result in life-threatening situations for homeless people. Thank you all for listening to my concerns and I hope something can be done immediately to correct this situation. At the very least if the PDN could add the Legion Hall to their article as an OVERNIGHT shelter that would be a start. Ideally I would also like to see the city and county feature the Legion Hall overnight shelter on the front pages of their websites during cold snaps like this to help share this very important information that could save someone's life.

I have asked around the community and people are telling me that the overnight shelter in the basement at the Legion is still in operation, but I have yet to get any "official" to confirm this. I find this highly distressing since the very people who need to know where to shelter overnight are having to search for the information when we should be putting it out all over the place right now.There are past articles that talk about a dispute over the building lease and such, implying that the Legion shelter might not continue.There is another article saying that due to Covid the shelter was going to be dispersed. All of this sends a message that the shelter is not there. How can we fix this situation immediately to help people right now? https://www.peninsuladailynews.com/news/here-are-places-to-get-warm-on-the-north-olvmpic-peninsula/ 2 PAMELA ROBERTS 752 Hectors Way Quilcene, WA 98376 360-765-0124 pamelaroberts1 a(�gmaii.com Inspiring students to become the great thinkers and leaders of tomorrow PAMELA ROBERTS 752 Hectors Way Quilcene, WA 98376 360-765-0124 pamelaroberts 1(agmaii.com Inspiring students to become the great thinkers and leaders of tomorrow 3 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2021 3:15 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Looking Back, Looking Ahead From: Marc Sullivan Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2021 3:14:46 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Heidi Eisenhour; Kate Dean; Greg Brotherton Subject: Looking Back, Looking Ahead ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

Read on for a summary of SOS'top accomplishments and related developments affecting salmon and orcas in 2021 - and to look into the year ahead. , 2021 has been a transformative year for political engagement in the Northwest and nationally to address the plight of Snake River salmon and the benefits they bring to people,wildlife and ecosystems. Time,however,is running out for two of the Northwest's most emblematic species—wild salmon and the orcas that rely upon them.Adult salmon and steelhead returns to the Snake River in 2021 were among the lowest on record.The Nez Perce Tribe's recent study. (https://Imtribune.com/river of change/tribe-s-fish-study_ is-a-call-to-alarm/article 7a96ec1 0-3ff0-5850-bd82- 2933780ebc7e.html).makes plain that protecting these fish from extinction requires bold,urgent action. 2021 also marks the 30th anniversary for the listing of Snake River sockeye under the Endangered Species Act. After three decades,billions in spending and six illegal federal salmon plans,the same number of sockeye salmon swam into their spawning grounds in the Stanley Basin in central Idaho in 2021 as in 1991:four.Clearly,the status quo has failed and a new approach is urgently needed. This spiraling ecological crisis in combination with our smart,coordinated,relentless pressure has(finally!)stirred bi-partisan engagement in the Northwest.This year and for the first time ever,political leaders in Idaho,Oregon and Washington State have committed themselves to work urgently with the region's tribes,stakeholders and citizens to develop solutions for Snake River salmon and Northwest communities. (raps./ Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson(R)deserves great credit for driving a conversation about the future of the Snake River and its fish.In February,he unveiled his (hop:; proposal to remove the lower Snake River dams and invest in infrastructure and communities.His announcement (ht r 11; Now kicked off a much-needed discussion with broad implications for the Northwest's environment,economy, culture and identity. � 6 NATO Y dr at TWELL_ a Orcas �I!!!4' are doing ° their part. iieJ i 1t's time 4 a todoours roe new*fl aSy wstwtr..r. e .a� �ww.anom.nwen>.�w r,Mw ue.v.WrKnwmya� NSWrinj Ma bwar Soak.Mue_: '"""' 6wt opponuriryto rwbnsalWonto dl Wa nNE your ooth.m y MMa Me ,x o �.^Y �.'"� aMlnctlen MShcNem MflMat ortn ,.x >r„ AT _ SoMwat[rL go Na nrns,S V n Mnl ywnnmanu,anw{y ���� " aMNintnworlu-I�wnlnun.t, arw m.muw,ana nnuauw 01�01" ,:. �- wiWsalmon.or�lorca m�. _� 1ap�rPhesd4xw m g a,«a. Other regional leaders have stepped up as well.Gov.Kate Brown(/news-and-media/opinion/east-Oregonian-guest- op i nion-working gether-bold-action-can-secure-a- thriving-future-for-the-columbia-basin.html)and p Earl Blumenauer(/news-and-media/o inion r gonian- columbia-river-needs-a-solution-that-sustains-all-our- communities-by-earl-blumenauer-and-mike-sim n.h ml), in Oregon announced their readiness to work with others to develop a regional strategy to restore the lower Snake River and invest in impacted communities.Then in October,Gov. Inslee and Sen.Patty Murray_(/news-and-media/press- releases/press-release-joint-statement-from-senator- murray-and-governor-inslee-on-establishing--joint-federal- state-process-on-snake-river-salmon-recovery.html).in Washington State outlined next steps in the federal-state process they first announced in May.The senator and governor are working together now to study our options for replacing the services currently provided by the dams as a key step toward developing an action plan for Snake River salmon and Northwest communities by or before July 2022. Also in October,the Biden Administration joined with the Nez Perce Tribe,State of Oregon,and conservation and fishing plaintiffs led by Earthjusticeto temporarily pause 20+years of litigation over salmon and dams in the Columbia Basin and begin settlement discussions to develop a long-term plan to protect imperiled salmon and steelhead in the Snake and Columbia rivers.The deadline for these talks is the same as the Murray/Inslee process: July 2022. Meanwhile,Sen.Maria Cantwell(WA)secured historic levels of funding to support Pacific Northwest salmon recovery by removing culverts,restoring habitat and much more in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill signed this fall by President Biden.SOS is very grateful for the senator's efforts to secure these funds.They will help advance an %htrrs:; important set of recovery priorities across the Northwest in the months and years ahead.But we'll also need Senator Cantwell's leadership working urgently with others in the region to help develop the comprehensive plan we need in 2022 to protect Snake River fish from extinction. These developments in 2021 —emerging political champions and significant available funding—are the critical ingredients we must leverage in 2022 to avoid an extinction spasm in the Northwest and lay the groundwork to achieve our nation's greatest salmon/river restoration. Before looking into the new year,we'll first review some key SOS accomplishments in 2021 that have helped bring about the opportunity before us today. SOS'talented team(/about/staff.html)has been going full- tilt all year. -Coordinating with strategic partners,allies and constituencies. -Engaging key stakeholders in energy,agriculture and local communities to identify shared solutions. -Educating and engaging policymakers and the public with projects like our Snake River Vision Projgg (littps://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/9e59cb81113b415daf56e088b 17e 132e), 2021 Hot Water Report series(/Ipjects/tackling-the- climate-challenge/2018-hot-water-report-for-the- columbia-snake-rivers-and-its-salmon-and- steelhead.html),monthly online newsletters(/news-and- media/newsletters.html),action alerts(/support-us/take- action/save-our-wild-salmon-action-alerts.html),online speaker series in spring(/news-and-media/sos-blog/save- our-wild-salmon-spiigweaker-series-hear-from-the- gxperts-and-ask-them-questions.html)and fall(n ws- and-media/sos-blog/save-our-wild-salmon-2021-fall- speaker-series-hear-from-the-experts-and-ask-them- guestions.html),and more. -Organizing and mobilizing grassroots and grasstops supporters to contact policymakers in the Northwest and in D.C. with email/phone/text campaigns,meetings,sign-on letters,on-the-ground events and actions,and more. -Generating earned and paid media with reporter contacts, guest opinions,letters-to-the-editor and social media. -Organizing print/digital ad campaigns in Northwest newspapers with allied NGOs and businesses highlighting hie plight of Southern Resident orcas(/news-and- media/sos-blog/save-our-wild-salmon-s-ad-pLojgQL- (ht"pS.J highlig g-the-urggnt-pJight-of-orcas.html)and Snake River steelhead(/news-and-media/sos-blog/steelhead- it,t:r„f,, mean-business-newspper-ads-highlight-the-Wight-of- n steelhead-and-impacts-o -businesses-a d n - communities.html) and in support of the Tribes'historic Salmon Orca Summit(/news-and-media/sos-blog/full-pAge- sos-coalition-ad-in-support-of-tribal-salmon-orca- summit.html). -Engaging public officials,state and federal agencies,the Biden Administration and their influencers with scores of meetings in 2021 in the Northwest and in D.C. -Partnering with business allies including fishing guides, gear retailers,outdoor recreation companies,food professionals and restaurants,and others. The Nez Perce and other tribes today are leading the way on salmon recovery and the future of the Snake River. Northwest tribes—Salmon People—rightly insist that 'justice be at the center of this conversation.Many tribes � "� ' i , sno T w Y 9�r M 4 ' 1 Ill ' signed treaties with the United States long ago to maintain healthy salmon runs in perpetuity—and all of us have a role to play to ensure that our nation upholds its promises. SOS has-and will continue to-seize opportunities to elevate tribal voices and support their leadership.Last summer,we organized a'solidarity vigil'at the historic Salmon Orca Summit(/news-and-media/news/seattle- times-historic-summit-of-tribes-across-pacific-northwest- presses-dam-removal-on-inslee-biden-congress.html) hosted by Northwest tribes.We also supported our friends at Nimiipuu Protecting the Environment and the Nez Perce Tribe to promote the Red Road to D.C. Totem Pole Journey I (/redroadtodc).event on July 15 on the banks of the Snake River.And we've encouraged support for the Umatilla Tribe's Youth Leadership Council (hips://indiancountrytoday.com/the-press-pool/native- youth-call-on-president-biden-to-remove-snake-river-dams). in their powerful advocacy on behalf of the Snake and its salmon.We're already coordinating with tribal allies and developing plans to support important projects and priorities in 2022. Our focus in 2022:Looking ahead,SOSwill continue to educate and inspire and engage our supporters and the public;strengthen stakeholder alliances;find new ways to elevate tribal voices and support tribal projects and priorities;and support—and hold accountable—our political leaders.The next 6-10 months will be a critical window of opportunity to develop and deliver a o't`' 1 comprehensive solution that protects and recovers the Northwest's emblematic salmon and hungry orcas by (Wv.,1 restoring a resilient,freely flowing Snake River as part of a larger strategy that brings everyone in the Northwest forward together. `nt?rit` In anticipation of the consequential year ahead,we've been busy this fall developing new,ambitious,creative and collaborative ways to elevate the urgent plight of Snake River fish and reach new communities and constituencies. Critical decisions at both the state and federal levels will be made between now and Summer 2022.It's our collective job to ensure the right decisions are made.

"It has been a running gag that the media have been exhibiting a bit of duality in regards to the concept of drawing new voting districts in states. Following the 2020 census, states are tasked with reconfiguring how the representative areas are sketched out. Often, the work falls to the party in control of the state legislature, and in the news organizations, they see the nefarious shenanigans taking place —when it concerns the Republican Party. "Once the process began in many states, the bleating from journalists was apparent, and they had the perfect foundation with which to frame things. Coming off of a number of 'controversial' new voting laws put into place in states like Georgia — and of course, the ever-present Big Lie — GOP redistricting becomes yet another alleged tool used to violate voting rights. In order to sell this hysteria, of course, we are required to ignore two fundamental facts: Redistricting has always taken place, and it is something BOTH parties engage in. "You would be shocked by those details if you relied upon media coverage. See, anywhere the Republicans are in the process of tracing new borders it is considered concerning news. CNN paints the dire picture: "Thanks to creatively partisan drawing of congressional maps after the 2020 census, the GOP is already poised to flip multiple House seats from blue to red. Republicans are on the road to juicing the historical advantage enjoyed by an out-of-power party in the midterm elections.'" "And at the New York Times, they also lay out the venality taking place. 2 "`Republicans are already poised to flip at least five seats in the closely divided House thanks to redrawn district maps that are more distorted, more disjointed and more gerrymandered than any since the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965.' "Those dastardly GOP political cartographers are ruining everything! But what is most revealing is that in selling this fable of democratic doom at the hands of manipulative mapmakers they have to completely bypass that Democrats are currently engaged in the exact same activity. Somehow, those surveyors on the left are not cast in the same negative fashion; Democrats redistricting the states they run are excused from accusations of undermining the republic." "The real revelation is that no one is pretending the Democrats are making these adjustments for any reason apart from the same reasons the Republicans are scorched over— strengthening their hold on state power. Here is the best example of the dichotomy in play: In California, they are targeting districts based on ethnic demographics. "This move, however, is not condemned. But then we see, according to another New York Times piece by the same two writers on the subject, the GOP making similar moves towards racial representation is reprehensible. "`Black elected officials in several states, from Congress down to the counties, have been drawn out of their districts this year or face headwinds to hold onto their seats.'" "The press cannot even pretend anymore that objectivity is in their job description. When only one party is guilty of unethical behavior enacted by both, you can easily see how most newsrooms in the country are also gerrymandered districts." 3 iiP ii 1 ail O�i r r��q Sigh-UP for the b iiyi,Male ke You can update your preferences or unsubscribe from this list.

Specific SEPA Environmental Checklist Comments Section A Background A7. Paragraphs A6 and A7 indicate a piecemeal approach to the placement of utilities and paving roads. The community could well end up having to pay for road paving or other utility expenses if the developer defaults before finishing the roads and utilities. The applicant's proposal to not pave roads until 90% of the manufactured homes are installed may result in the roads never being paved. Development businesses fail regularly, the applicants corporate license is currently 12/28/2021 listed as "delinquent" on the WA Secretary of State site. 1 A8. The TIA study uses an unverified "opinion" to adjust the traffic counts made during COVID lockdowns. Current TIA studies should be required. Section B Environmental Elements 2. Air b. The applicant claims that the Mill odor has not been noticed on the project site. Residents surrounding the project area know better, if the weather is "right" the mill odor can be very powerful. Once the trees are removed the mill odor will become much more apparent to everyone in the area near this project. 3. Water a. Contrary to the applicant's assertion that there are no seasonal wetlands on or in the immediate vicinity of the site there are several seasonal wetlands on the site. Adjoining landowners have confirmed these seasonal wetlands. 4. Plants d. The applicant describes a 20 foot clearing buffer surrounding the exterior of the site and a "20 foot clearing restriction area" around the perimeter of the site" Consulting the provided drawings, no clearing restriction is shown for some portions of the site abutting the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail. The clearing restriction is absent on the entire southern edge of the project area. Given the intensity of the proposed development, the proximity to the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail, and to preserve the existing vegetation, a 50 foot clearing restriction around the entire perimeter(s) of the site should be required. e. The applicant states that "no noxious weeds or invasive species are known to exist on site". The applicant states earlier in the checklist (4 a.)that the site contains "Scot's Broom", and it does contain Scotch Broom. Scotch Broom is an invasive and noxious species. Development activities which take place over more that a single season, as the applicant plans, disturb soils and allow for Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius) to overgrow native species. According to The Washington Invasive Species Council: "Scotch broom crowds out native species and negatively impacts wildlife habitat. It can form dense, impenetrable stands that degrade farmland and create fire hazards. It dense stands may prevent or slow forest regeneration and restoration of upland sites and wetland buffers. Scotch broom produces toxic compounds, which in large amounts can cause mild poisoning in animals such as horses." 2 "Scotch broom is on Washington's Terrestrial Noxious Weed Seed and Plant Quarantine list"and "Scotch broom is listed as a Class B noxious weed in Washington, meaning it is designated for control in certain state regions" According to the Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board: "It displaces native and beneficial plants, causing loss of grassland and open forest. It aggressively spreads to form monocultures, replacing desirable forage grasses and young trees. Seeds are toxic to livestock and horses." "Scotch broom can be found on roadsides, pastures, grasslands, open areas and areas of recent soil disturbance." According to the Jefferson County Noxious Weed Control Board: Scotch broom is a Class B Noxious Weed. Control is required in and within 50 feet of gravel pits and soil mining areas in Jefferson Scotch Broom mitigation and control should be required. 5. Animals a. Deer, Racoon, Mountain Beaver, Cougar, Bobcat, Hawks, Eagles, Woodpeckers, Owls, Herons, and migratory birds are regularly seen. The entire project area is inside of the Pacific Flyway. All of the project area is used in one way or another by migratory birds. The applicants assertion that WDFW found no issues neglected to add the WDFD comment about the PHS dataset. "The Priority Habitats and Species (PHS) datasets do not contain information for your project area. This does not mean that species and habitats do not occur in your project area. PHS data, points, lines and polygons are mapped only when occurrences of these species or habitats have been observed in the field. Unfortunately, we have not been able to comprehensively survey all sections in the state and therefore, it is important to note that priority species and habitats may occur in areas not currently known to the Department". The project area should be studied carefully to determine what species actually depend on the project area for habitat. 8. Land and Shoreline Use a. The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail (AKA Larry Scott Trail) bisects this project. https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/pnt/home This trail is used by residents and visitors to our community. Residents worked very hard to dedicate this trail to public use. Destruction of the beloved "tree tunnel" on the trail appears to be part of this proposal. Proposed project drawings show clearcutting and road building next to the trail with no buffer. The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail should be protected by a 50 foot clearing restriction. 3 The state and federal agencies involved with resource management of the trail should be included just as county departments have been included in this process. Becky Blanchard Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail Administrator Forest Service Pacific Northwest and Northern Regions p: 503-808-2449 becky.blanchard('usda.gov e. The SEPA checklist asks, "What is the current zoning classification of the site?". The response is, "RR-5: Rural residential. Every person I have spoken with about this project has expressed utter dismay and anger that the rural environment we all supported when the GMA was implemented will potentially be destroyed by this project. When a county planner was recently asked directly "I've been told that if a BLA is done the new parcel boundaries supersede the old plat, and that all future development must adhere to current zoning requirements. Is that correct?"the answer was YES Please explain how the proposed 68 home sites on 27 acres can comply with the RR-5: Rural residential zoning classification. 9. Housing c. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any: The applicant neglects to address the increased public infrastructure loading 71 housing units and approximately 200 people will produce in rural Jefferson County. Police and Fire/EMS loads will be impacted. The best example of an impact clearly not addressed is that of water and fire flow. At this time existing water lines do not support adequate pressure to existing residences. Fire flow testing should be done, and the applicant should be required to provide any additional water supply resource the development requires. 10. Aesthetics b. The applicant's statement concerning the alteration of views "No significant views are currently present as the site is fully treed and undeveloped."is incorrect. There are currently woodland views from The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail and from all of the surrounding land. All of these views will be destroyed by the projects clearcutting. The applicants proposed "establishment of a 20 foot clearing restriction around the perimeter of the site" should be increased to 50 feet. 12. Recreation 4 b. and c. The applicants proposed 20 foot clearing restriction around the perimeter of the site would make the applicants plan to "maintain some vegetation or replant or build fencing to screen the back yards of the lots" unnecessary. Replacement of forest with fencing will diminish the recreational value of the The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail. A 50 foot clearing restriction around the perimeter of the site should be required. 14. Transportation a. The 19 homes proposed in the section south of The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail are served by a single road with one access to a public highway. This makes emergency access and egress problematic. In an emergency one stalled vehicle can block all 19 homes. On a daily basis the single intersection access to Discovery road for 19 homes will be a problem. School bus access to these 19 homes would not be available due to lack of a bus turn around. d. and f. The TIA traffic study was done during a period of COVID lockdown. The numbers were "adjusted" to supposedly reflect the actual counts. A new TIA should be done. 15. Public Services a. and b. The applicant should be required to provide comment from public service providers such as police and fire/ems supporting the contention that the need for public services "will not likely be significant". 16. Utilities No description of the construction activity required to provide utilities has been provided as requested. The applicant should be required to provide the requested information. General Comment concerning the applicants' responses: On numerous occasions the applicant responses in the SEPA checklist utilize the same general comment of something like "we will do what the regs require". That isn't an answer to the direct questions posed in the checklist. For example, below is a question from the checklist. c. Water runoff (including stormwater): 1) Describe the source of runoff(including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. The response is in bold. 5 Sources of stormwater runoff come primarily from rainfall on impervious surfaces like roads, roofs, driveways, any other hard surface that will not absorb the moisture. Stormwater management review is required for all aspects of this development,which is how the collection and disposal of the stormwater is addressed.All stormwater activities will comply with the regulations found at CC 18.30.070,which includes the minimum standards adopted by the most recent version of the Washington Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. In the above response there is not an answer to "Describe the method of collection and disposal...' In the above response there is not an answer to "Where will this water flow" In many cases the applicant does not provide answers to direct questions, the applicant simply says again and again we will do "something" with no specificity. A decision as to the merits of this proposal requires facts. Please ask the applicant to answer the questions. Thank you very much. Chris Hanson 141 Nelsons Landing Road 360 301 5720 6 jeffbocc From: Linda Mattos <linda@hopti.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2021 10:25 AM To: Shannen Cartmel;jeffbocc Subject: My comments re: PUBLIC NOTICE OF Pending SEPA Determination and TYPE I LAND USE APPLICATION MLA20-00152/SUB2020-00018 and MLA21-00023/ ZON2021-000016 ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. General process comments. I am requesting a delay in the deadline for public comments due to timing of posting during the Christmas holiday period, adverse weather conditions, and the differences found in the notices that have been posted, published, and mailed. My meeting, to ask questions of DCD staff was rescheduled twice during the notice period reducing the time available to formulate my comments. When I read the Statutes and Codes pertaining to this process it seems to me that robust,well considered, public comment is called for. I do not consider the process so far to be supportive of robust, well considered public comment. Please consider restarting the public comment process. Specific SEPA Environmental Checklist Comments Section A Background A7. Paragraphs A6 and A7 indicate a piecemeal approach to the placement of utilities and paving roads. The community could well end up having to pay for road paving or other utility expenses if the developer defaults before finishing the roads and utilities. The applicant's proposal to not pave roads until 90% of the manufactured homes are installed may result in the roads never being paved. Development businesses fail regularly, the applicants corporate license is currently 12/28/2021 listed as "delinquent" on the WA Secretary of State site. A8. The TIA study uses an unverified "opinion" to adjust the traffic counts made during COVID lockdowns. Current TIA studies should be required. Section B Environmental Elements 2. Air i b. The applicant claims that the Mill odor has not been noticed on the project site. Residents surrounding the project area know better, if the weather is "right" the mill odor can be very powerful. Once the trees are removed the mill odor will become much more apparent to everyone in the area near this project. 3. Water a. Contrary to the applicant's assertion that there are no seasonal wetlands on or in the immediate vicinity of the site there are several seasonal wetlands on the site. Adjoining landowners have confirmed these seasonal wetlands. 4. Plants d. The applicant describes a 20 foot clearing buffer surrounding the exterior of the site and a "20 foot clearing restriction area" around the perimeter of the site" Consulting the provided drawings, no clearing restriction is shown for some portions of the site abutting the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail. The clearing restriction is absent on the entire southern edge of the project area. Given the intensity of the proposed development, the proximity to the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail, and to preserve the existing vegetation, a 50 foot clearing restriction around the entire perimeter(s) of the site should be required. e. The applicant states that "no noxious weeds or invasive species are known to exist on site". The applicant states earlier in the checklist (4 a.)that the site contains "Scot's Broom", and it does contain Scotch Broom. Scotch Broom is an invasive and noxious species. Development activities which take place over more that a single season, as the applicant plans, disturb soils and allow for Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius)to overgrow native species. According to The Washington Invasive Species Council: "Scotch broom crowds out native species and negatively impacts wildlife habitat. It can form dense, impenetrable stands that degrade farmland and create fire hazards. It dense stands may prevent or slow forest regeneration and restoration of upland sites and wetland buffers. Scotch broom produces toxic compounds, which in large amounts can cause mild poisoning in animals such as horses." "Scotch broom is on Washington's Terrestrial Noxious Weed Seed and Plant Quarantine list"and "Scotch broom is listed as a Class B noxious weed in Washington, meaning it is designated for control in certain state regions" According to the Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board: "It displaces native and beneficial plants, causing loss of grassland and open forest. It aggressively spreads to form monocultures, replacing desirable forage grasses and young trees. Seeds are toxic to livestock and horses." 2 "Scotch broom can be found on roadsides, pastures, grasslands, open areas and areas of recent soil disturbance." According to the Jefferson County Noxious Weed Control Board: Scotch broom is a Class B Noxious Weed. Control is required in and within 50 feet of gravel pits and soil mining areas in Jefferson Scotch Broom mitigation and control should be required. 5. Animals a. Deer, Racoon, Mountain Beaver, Cougar, Bobcat, Hawks, Eagles, Woodpeckers, Owls, Herons, and migratory birds are regularly seen. The entire project area is inside of the Pacific Flyway. All of the project area is used in one way or another by migratory birds. The applicants assertion that WDFW found no issues neglected to add the WDFD comment about the PHS dataset. "The Priority Habitats and Species (PHS) datasets do not contain information for your project area. This does not mean that species and habitats do not occur in your project area. PHS data, points, lines and polygons are mapped only when occurrences of these species or habitats have been observed in the field. Unfortunately, we have not been able to comprehensively survey all sections in the state and therefore, it is important to note that priority species and habitats may occur in areas not currently known to the Department". The project area should be studied carefully to determine what species actually depend on the project area for habitat. 8. Land and Shoreline Use a. The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail (AKA Larry Scott Trail) bisects this project. https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/pnt/home This trail is used by residents and visitors to our community. Residents worked very hard to dedicate this trail to public use. Destruction of the beloved "tree tunnel" on the trail appears to be part of this proposal. Proposed project drawings show clearcutting and road building next to the trail with no buffer. The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail should be protected by a 50 foot clearing restriction. The state and federal agencies involved with resource management of the trail should be included just as county departments have been included in this process. Becky Blanchard Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail Administrator Forest Service Pacific Northwest and Northern Regions p: 503-808-2449 becky.blanchard@usda.gov 3 e. The SEPA checklist asks, "What is the current zoning classification of the site?". The response is, "RR-5: Rural residential.
