Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dr. Berry, Home testing for COVID-19 is now common, but almost none of the results of those tests are being reported to anyone. So, we have very little reliable data to determine the actual number of cases. One method that has been used elsewhere** to detect the presence of, and amount of, SARS-CoV-2 virus in a community is to examine sewage for the presence of the virus' DNA. Doing that here would only cover about 1/3 of the Jefferson County population and ??% of the Clallam County population; that is, in those urban areas where sewers, not septic tanks, are used. Even though only part of the population would be covered, such measurements would provide a very reliable and consistent picture of the actual amount of virus present in our counties and would provide a scientific basis for you to determine when / if it is reasonable to authorize more relaxed rules for masks, proof of vaccination, etc. Your thoughts? Thank you, Tom Thiersch Jefferson County **For example, https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/wastewater-data-shows-covid-close-to-pre-surge- levels-in-boston/2617254/ 1 3/8/22,8:44 AM Massachusetts Wastewater COVID Update Shows Boston Close to Pre-Surge Levels—NBC Boston 42' ett TRENDING Russia-Ukraine War Russia- Ukraine Q&A Celebrating Black History St. Patri._ LOCAL In-depth news coverage of the Greater Boston Area.

The latest COVID wastewater data shows levels in the Boston area are nearly back to where they were before the start of the omicron surge. New data unveiled this week showed the levels dropping to where they were in mid to late December before cases started to spike dramatically. That's down substantially from peak levels and is another sign that the surge could be nearing an end. COVID wastewater data in the Boston area continues to trend in the right direction. Now close to same level at start of Omicron surge. @a NBC10Boston pic.twitter.com/SmCa739vKl —Jeff Saperstone NBC10 Boston (@JeffNBCBoston)January 20, 2022 The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority's tracking system, run by Cambridge-based Biobot, works by analyzing bits of genetic material in the Boston area's sewers to indicate how much of the virus is circulating in the community. As of Tuesday, COVID levels were averaging about 2,000 RNA copies of COVID per milliliter, down from around 6,000 last week and from a peak near 10,000 in early January. This appears to coincide with the latest case totals from the state, which have been on the decline. There were 14,647 new COVID cases reported Wednesday, and the state's seven-day average testing positivity and hospitalizations continue to trend down. But Wednesday's data also included 199 new deaths, a number that included totals from Saturday through Tuesday.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and several top Boston doctors said earlier this week they think the omicron surge might be winding down. "The current state of play on the wastewater treatment data, generally the broader collection of data is it's down probably somewhere between 65 and 70% of where it was at the peak a couple weeks ago, which is exactly the same trajectory that people saw with omicron in the U.K., South Africa and in other parts of the U.S.," Baker said. "It's a straight up and a straight down. Several people have written about this and it appears to be good news." During NBC10 Boston's weekly "COVID Q&A" series Tuesday, three Boston doctors agreed that we could be on the downslope of the omicron curve. Even so, they said we could be in for a rough few weeks before things start returning to normal. "It really suggests that we still have many infections ahead of us even though we are likely on the downslope here in Massachusetts," said Dr. Shira Doron of Tufts Medical Center. Proponents of wastewater COVID detection have argued that it helps give a fuller sense of the virus' spread in a community than state data, which doesn't include at-home rapid tests or people with COVID who don't take tests at all. The data for Boston is collected from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority's Deer Island wastewater treatment plant and analyzed by Cambridge-based Biobot Analytics three to seven times a week. Forty-three communities from eastern Massachusetts have their water treated at the plant, including Boston, Cambridge, Framingham and Quincy. The data cannot be linked to specific cities, towns or neighborhoods.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, There were plenty of questions submitted to KPTZ for Monday March 7, 2022 BOCC Update this week. Please see them listed below. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Berry: 1.Just because the governor has decided (for the whole state), that it is safe to discontinue indoor masking mandates, does that make it safe? What is he using as his barometer, I wonder? It seems he must just be doing this because he knows people are "tired' of the pandemic, but that doesn't sound safe to me. 2. I am flummoxed that there is not more emphasis in every broadcast on the metrics of case numbers and masking mandates using numbers that are not representative of the actual case positives due to the prevalence of home testing and non reporting of those numbers as it is voluntary. Do you have any wild guesses about the numbers of unreported cases? I am concerned that those who choose not to inform health dept. Drs. or employers or peers put many at risk should they return to work too soon or are reluctant if required to prove negative test results. 3. I am 80 years old and quite healthy, my wife just a few years younger and also healthy. Am I correct that you recommend we continue to wear masks in all indoor spaces until the applicable case rate in Jefferson County is below 50 per 100,000? Our sincere thanks for your ongoing leadership in this absolutely critical time! 4. Why have schools continued to require outdoor masking and distancing despite the science and CDC showing that this is unnecessary, unless we are densely populated? i 5. You mentioned that the cause of this pandemic to be more of a blame game and unimportant. However, isn't determining the cause a way to preventing future pandemics? If there was a lab studying COVID in Wuhan, do you believe it would be important to determine better safety protocols to prevent leaks of a dangerous virus or disease in the future? In the same way I have agreed to vaccinate my young children with an "emergency approved" vaccine, I would hope there are efforts to determine the very cause of this pandemic, as it is part of risk mitigation going forward. Prevention not crisis/reaction is always preferred. 6. Would it make sense at some point to require vaccination proof, for instance at the movies, but not require masking? 7. Do you feel it is safe to eat out in restaurants again, given that our case rates are still higher than you want to see? 8. Do you feel it is safe to travel to other areas, where we know the case rates are higher and there are fewer mandates? I still don't feel comfortable traveling on a plane or on a bus, as it is an enclosed space, for a prolonged time, without ventilation and people are unmasked, and (I read) there is about 15% of the population that are not vaccinated at all? 9. I read that only 30% of"vaccinated" people went on to get the second shot or the booster. I don't see them as safe to be around, as my understanding is that the booster is fairly crucial with Omicron. Is this accurate? 10. Could you comment on super-spreader events at this stage of the pandemic. I haven't heard mention of it lately, especially after things like the Super Bowl. 11. Home testing for COVID-19 is now common, but almost none of the results of those tests are being reported to anyone. So, we have very little reliable data to determine the actual number of cases. One method that has been used elsewhere to detect the presence of, and amount of, SARS-CoV-2 virus in a community is to examine sewage for the presence of the virus' DNA. Doing that here would only cover about 1/3 of the Jefferson County population and ??% of the Clallam County population; that is, in those urban areas where sewers, not septic tanks, are used. Even though only part of the population would be covered, such measurements would provide a very reliable and consistent picture of the actual amount of virus present in our counties and would provide a scientific basis for you to determine when / if it is reasonable to authorize more relaxed rules for masks, proof of vaccination, etc. Your thoughts? 2 Julie Shannon From: Heidi Eisenhour Sent: Friday, March 4, 2022 7:55 AM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: NACo-supported bipartisan Secure Rural Schools fix legislation goes to president Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged From: Jonathan Shuffield Sent: Friday, March 4, 2022 7:53:58 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Heidi Eisenhour Subject: NACo-supported bipartisan Secure Rural Schools fix legislation goes to president ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

Click Here NATIONAL ASSOCIATION NAC '`COUNTIES 1 LEGISLATIVE UP ATE: CO-SuA • • rt - d ; i •7r • i cure ' ur • • • i • G . • i • , On February 28, the U.S. House of Representatives passed by voice vote S. 3706, bipartisan legislation to make critical technical corrections to the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) program for FYs 2021-2023. SRS was extended for three years under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law with increased funding, ensuring crucial funds for over 700 counties in 41 states and Puerto Rico to support infrastructure maintenance, local schools and wildfire risk reduction. The bill passed the U.S. Senate by unanimous consent on February 15 and will now go to the president's desk for his signature. NACo ADVOCACY SPOTLIGHT NACo testified in support of the House version of this legislation before the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources on February 3 and pushed Congress to pass it quickly. ., WATCH HEARING WHY S. 3706 IS CRITICAL FOR PUBLIC LANDS COUNTIES Federal lands agencies are due to process SRS payments to counties in the coming weeks, making the timing of the bill's passage even more critical. This legislation is necessary because the deadlines for counties to decide whether to take SRS payments or federal timber harvest receipts and to allocate SRS payments between Titles I-Ill passed last summer before the infrastructure law was signed. The SRS statute mandates a default allocation of 80 percent to Title I (county roads and schools) and 20 percent to Title ll (resource management programs on national forests). S.3706 locks in the 2013 county elections for timber harvest receipts or SRS payments and county allocation elections between Titles I-Ill for FY 2021 payments scheduled for this spring, which is consistent with every reauthorization since 2013. Beginning next year, counties would have flexibility to choose their SRS payment allocations for the first time in a decade. BACKGROUND ON S. 3706 2 Had S. 3706 not passed, rural public lands counties would not have access to Title Ill funds —the SRS funding stream with the greatest amount of flexibility for counties —to use for search and rescue missions on federal lands, law enforcement patrols, community wildfire programs and broadband access in schools. Furthermore, some counties choose to receive timber harvest receipt payments from their national forests, and without the technical fix, those counties would be forced to receive SRS payments instead, even if they would receive more money from the federal timber harvest receipts. S. 3706 protects flexible funding streams for national forest counties and schools and ensures timber dependent counties receive their fair share of receipts in FY 2021. Rural counties with large tracts of public lands must provide services on federal lands to residents and visitors alike, including search and rescues operations, law enforcement patrols and wildfire prevention. Counties applaud bipartisan leaders in both chambers for moving this legislation expeditiously and ensuring local governments receive the support needed to provide essential services. QUESTIONS?

WSAC WASHINGTON STATE ASSOCIATION March of COUNTIES 4, 2022 ' I LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN ° (111 gin. 1111 Overview From Olympia Happy Friday? It depends on where your bills are — a lot will die today. Today (Friday), is the last day to consider bills from the opposite house. If your bill hasn't passed by 5:00 pm tonight, unless it is Necessary to Implement the Budget (NTIB), it's a goner. The one exception to that rule is when the houses designate a bill for special consideration after 5:00 pm. Not subject to the timeline, this is reserved for controversial legislation when the debate 1 MP AM "-015Np.::-.':mum, prranm -'c 'X.:. tlt :-:�'-—,I;IIIINI Ilrpm ` k-tom— 'marl'— roam Prm '.MEM... ,isMt&'..i+"1f2YV,e—:::....^sdF.,. —.Mtllllt,t —MY :3,'„',,.-.: R:/-"=,]p6S;-: —°qiM i'.= --kduu"'w, :.vPfilV",—imillll'. will be long, so it doesn't interfere with the remaining hours to get multiple other bills passed.

Last Saturday morning, things in the Transportation Package went from bad to worse for local government. Over the weekend there was a substantial change proposed by the Chair of the House Transportation Committee, Representative Fey, for how to fund the Move Ahead Washington Transportation Package (Package), which would negatively impact counties. This amendment would remove the Export Fuel Tax from the Package and instead replace the lost revenue by continuing to divert Public Works Assistance Account (PWAA) revenues 2 in the amount of $100 million over 15 years. This was bad news for local government, as these funds were set to return to the PWAA in 2023, after over a decade of being diverted for other state purposes. On Tuesday evening, after much debate, the House of Representatives passed the PWAA amendment as part of their proposed Package and set things up to be worked out by House and Senate leadership in conference committee. Read more The Voting Rights Act, OPMA, and Prejudgment Interest (mostly dead?) This cutoff week was an eventful one. Bills needed to be out of fiscal committees by Monday, February 28, and out of the opposite chamber by Friday, March 4, at 5:00. As of now, the Voting Rights Act, SB 7, is dead. It did not come out of the House Appropriations Committee in time, and it is unlikely to progress any further this year. This is an important bill involving many interests, so, as in "The Princess Bride," this bill may only be mostly dead. There are various parliamentary ways to rescue it, but it would take extraordinary action and we are listing it as (mostly!) dead for now. WSAC worked very hard on this bill and offered multiple amendments that would make the policy work better and apply more equitably to counties (e.g., we disfavor a pure population-based calculation to determine preclearance), and we expect to see it back again next year. Read more Cutoff for Costly Public Defense 3 Today, the Legislature faces its final cutoff point to pass bills out of the opposite house. The clock is literally ticking toward the success or death of many remaining bills that must be voted on by 5:00 pm in order to survive. As I write this, there are several bills waiting to be pulled out of Rules that may or may not make it. One of those bills is HB 1620. This bill directs the Military Department to develop and implement an extreme weather response grant program to assist counties with the costs of responding to community needs during periods of extremely hot or cold weather or poor air quality due to wildfire smoke. These grants would help counties defray the costs for these unpredictable, dangerous, and expensive events and assist more citizens. We are hopeful that the bill survives cutoff. Read more How Counties and Tribes Work Together 9,10 In a strong showing of agreement and collaboration, both counties and tribes supported the passage of SHB 1717, outlining a clear path for tribal participation in planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA). Approved by the House earlier in the session, the Senate approved it on Thursday afternoon, and the bill is now on its way to the Governor for 4 signature.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. To whom it may concern, I am writing to voice my support for the fireworks ban in Jefferson county.With the risk of wildfires continually on the rise we should do everything we can to prevent such fires-and that includes banning fireworks in times of high fire danger. I hope to see the board support this viewpoint, and in doing so support the health and safety of the people and environments in Jefferson county. Thank you, Anna Moore Note: The email address printed in the article from The Leader did not work(publiccommentPco.iefferson.wa.us) and I imagine that inaccuracy will limit the number of comments you will receive. 1 HEARING COMMENT jeffbocc From: liz moore <glasstools@olympus.net> Sent: Friday, March 4, 2022 9:33 AM To: jeffbocc Subject: fireworks ban ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

Dear County Commissioners, I agree with the proposed fireworks ban and would like to stop the explosions that occur every 4th of July.We cannot risk burning down the Olympic Peninsula. Thank you, Jim Moore Port Townsend The email address published in the PDN seems to be wrong and bounced back. I wonder how many comments you are not receiving due to that issue. 1 HEARING COMMENT jeffbocc From: liz moore <glasstools@olympus.net> Sent: Friday, March 4, 2022 10:14 AM To: jeffbocc Subject: support the fireworks ban ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

I know several ( not terribly smart) people who were seriously injured lighting fireworks. One blew his heel off his foot ( NOT his shoe ),the other seriously burned his face.Our world is a tinderbox in the summer.Surely we as a society can come up with another way to celebrate that doesn't involve loud noise, for example laser shows or those new light shows that you can project onto your house. I know what it is like to wake up in a burning house and loose everything. I also know the fear of having my son go off to fight wildfires in the summer. As the climate changes and our summers become more dry, it is time to make some adjustments to how we celebrate. Fireworks are not a necessity and personal fireworks should be permanently banned in Jefferson County. I hope you will do the right thing and help come up with other creative ways for people to celebrate. Thank you, Liz Moore Port Townsend P.S.The email address that the PDN published for comment bounced back. No wonder you did not get many comments the first time around. : 1 jeffbocc HEARING COMMENT From: Mitch Rabenold <mitchrabenold@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, March 4, 2022 10:46 AM To: jeffbocc; Greg Brotherton Subject: Comments on 2-28-22 hearing on fireworks Attachments: Consumer-Fireworks-Legal-in-WA.pdf ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Thank you for extending the period for written comments. I have a few comments on what was said during the hearing on 2/28/22. 1. Can I ask that Chief Black clarify what he meant when he stated that aerial fireworks are illegal? There is no definition of the term "Aerial Fireworks" in any of the relevant codes that I could find. He is correct that bottle rockets are illegal, along with rockets, missiles, and firecrackers, but I want to ensure he was not including mortars and cakes in his statement. They are also aerial fireworks in nature, but they are legal under WSP 70.77.136. The attached diagram shows this. 2. Modification of fireworks was referenced under WAC 212-17-053 which states; Altered consumer fireworks—Dangerous firework. (1) It is illegal to alter any firework from its originally manufactured form and intended use except as provided in subsection(3) of this section. (2) It is illegal to possess, sell, purchase, store, or discharge any dangerous fireworks. (3) The altering of a consumer or display firework can only be done legally when: (a) For the purpose of this section a licensed pyrotechnic operator or person(s) under the direct supervision of a licensed pyrotechnic operator altering a fuse as part of a public display for consumer fireworks that are electronically fired is not considered a dangerous fireworks. (b) A person without a pyrotechnic operator's license cannot alter fireworks. This would include using an igniter attached to the fuse for electronically firing of the device. This does not include the use of: (i) A nonpyrogen type initiator that clips onto the fuse and a heated wire is the source of ignition. ... A mortar or cake is intended to be ignited by its fuse. Nowhere is it stated what that source of ignition must be. Unsafe methods include ignition via paper match, stick match, punk, cigarette, cigarette lighter and highway flare, because they all require proximity of personnel to ignition. Using one fuse to ignite another does not alter the device or its intended use, and in fact, makes it safer by removing personnel from the point of ignition. There also appears to be i HEARING COMMENT confusion about igniters. There are at least two types of igniters for consumer use that contain no pyrotechnic compound and are not ATF regulated: MJG Firewire Igniters, and Talon Igniter Clips. I have used the latter and they comply with section 3.b.i above. Information about these can be found here: https://www.cobrafiringsystems.com/ianiters.html 3. Reference was made to the term "Fused Setpiece", but there didn't seem to be consensus in understanding what they are. Although I could find no definition for this term in any of the relevant codes, the internet provides this: "Set Piece A ground display such as lancework, wheels, gerbs, fountains, and/or other devices, which function while on poles, frames, or other structures, attached to the ground." This is from the American Pyrotechnics Association at https://www.americanpvro.com/glossary-of-pyrotechnic-terms. More information with examples can be found here: https://www.pvroinnovations.com/fireworkstraining fireworkssetpieces.html Just to clarify, a cake is not a fused setpiece. This is consistent with the comments made during the hearing. 4. It was difficult to hear clearly in the recording, but Tom Thiersch made verbal comments that sounded like "a person from Quilcene just testified that he uses consumer fireworks to make a display of fireworks over the water. I thought that aerial fireworks were illegal". This goes back to comment#1 above. Using undefined terms muddies the water and leads to confusion. I would like to assure everyone that I have made every effort to present a safe and legal use of consumer fireworks, along with cleaning up the debris. 5. Many of the commenters brought up smoke and pollution as reasons for concern. A commenter on one of my social media threads, who lives and makes his living off of the bay, stated that "Fireworks being shot over the bay happens 3 or 4 nights per year. Shrimp, crab, salmon seasons and boating in general create more trash and garbage in the bay in a day than all the fireworks that are shot." There are many large polluters that deserve more attention than fireworks on this issue. I am aware of the issues the Board is trying to address with this ordinance. In many ways, my efforts are aligned with the Board's goals; protection of life safety, property, and controlling wildfire hazards. The community has enjoyed the results of my efforts and been very supportive. I am hoping that the Board will incorporate a way to preserve the fireworks tradition in Quilcene while addressing the core drivers for revising this ordinance. I absolutely respect and value the role of our fire chiefs and I welcome a dialogue on these topics. I have made my best efforts to educate myself on the laws regarding the use of consumer fireworks and to comply with them. I welcome anyone's help to be more compliant, if necessary. Sincerely, Mitch Rabenold Quilcene, WA 2 HEARING COMMENT U, d c'O �«.�ry a_y g Ic0 1 0)V oo c, �v N �' Y m yOEL > x ,.•, M 5'E R c m --- u o 0 Q 'C c o apt,0,,,, d @ � V @ ' '� C IL�„:;, q c.� sty C N tmi#`�, �.2 '� -0 li ... .,. won... � O 8 N O y O v '% d a) 'a c y a N —t'n m w lE0 I E E'% o O 'C c— y.c 0Y�R« r ,c c 0 O N'� Ci • N w 1 s o V c ,;� CO a c r O.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. I stole this online: Among other things, fireworks are made up of gun powder, accelerant, heavy metals and numerous contaminants, such as ozone, carbon dioxide, nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide. The toxic smoke and dust produced during firework displays can be inhaled directly into the lungs. The negative health effects of fireworks go far beyond temporary lung inflammation and respiratory problems, however. Carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting chemicals released by fireworks can later invade the body through contaminated water or soil. That's because firework displays often take place over oceans, rivers and lakes, and the resulting toxic fallout can directly contaminate water sources. In addition to posing a direct health risk to humans, these pollutants can affect fish and other aquatic life, and eventually move up the food chain. The dangerous chemicals released during firework displays can wreak havoc on the human body, affecting the endocrine system, immune system, gastrointestinal system and metabolism, as well as the neurotransmitters in the brain. For instance: • Perchlorate, a chemical that is often mixed with sulfur and charcoal to create the gunpowder that makes fireworks explode, can inhibit the ability of the thyroid gland to derive iodine from blood (hypothyroidism). This can interfere with the production of thyroid hormones, which are essential to the metabolic and mental development processes. It can also lead to goiter and thyroid cancer. • Strontium, a heavy metal used to produce the bright red colors in fireworks, has been linked to many serious health consequences, including birth defects, damaged bone marrow, inhibited bone growth, anemia and impaired blood clotting. • Some of the other chemicals dispersed by fireworks, such as aluminum, barium, cadium, dioxins, and rubidium, are radioactive and known carcinogens. Exposure to these chemicals has been associated with a host of health conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, dementia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, heart disease, kidney disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders and chronic fatigue. • As researchers continue to study the impact of fireworks on human health and the environment, many public safety and environmental advocates now discourage the use of traditional pyrotechnics during festivities. Alternatives include laser light shows, parades and block parties, as well as new technology that uses environmentally friendly compressed air in place of gunpowder to launch fireworks. By celebrating our freedom in a less toxic way, we can avoid sacrificing some of that freedom — namely, our health —to a contaminated environment. 1 HEARING COMMENT jeffbocc From: denise miller <quackyduck2012@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, March 4, 2022 11:58 AM To: jeffbocc Subject: Fireworks 2022 ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hello. My name is Denise Miller .We live in Quilcene WA since 2006. My community has been very fortunate since covid began in 2020 to have a local name Mitch Rabenold who was a software engineer and he has extensive knowledge of fireworks and programming shows. Since 2018, he put on a show at the water. Because of covid, the 4th of July Holiday celebration has changed. People do not gather and set off fireworks so much. A small group that is one family at Quilcene Yacht Club has a gathering, and what the people do is they have thier own BBQ at home, then they show up at dark, watch the show from thier cars, and leave. Because of covid, and the burn ban„ there are not a lot of people lighting fireworks. You will notice that the rate of wildfires in Quilcene WA has been very low since 2019. Our community is careful. It is visitors who do unsafe activities that are fire hazards.The Quilcene 4th of July fireworks display by Mitch Rabenold actually causes LESS lighting of fireworks because they rely on his display. Please consider that in the meeting. There have never been any problems because he has a crew and we make sure all the fireworks are completely out, then he cools them and hauls the spent hulls away in a metal trailer. Years ago, maybe 8 years ago there were probably more people lighting fireworks who didn't know what they are doing and leaving trash. That is no linger the case at the Yacht club and the Quilcene Bay. We have an impressive group of volunteers who meet monthly with Port of Port Townsend and County commissioners to coordinate the care of the Herb Beck Marina. The reason we light fireworks on the beach is because the water is safer to access for extinguished fireworks with buckets and we have a hose. Thank you. Please do not take away the Fireworks that Mitch lights on 4th of July.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hi Mark, I wanted to see who needs to be contacted for a quick response on a hazard that could affect the property and the people in the local area. I live on Seven Sister's Rd in Port Ludlow.There has been quite a bit of excavation and the start of site prep for two properties surrounding mine and further up the hill on Paradise Bay road. I have called code compliance about one property in particular where The owners and excavators have given no thought to the damage to the embankment and the environment.Yesterday I observed 21/2 to 3 feet of my embankment that has slid off the property and onto the beach.This is a hazard for my property but potential for everyone on this waterfront slope and people who walk the beach. I am sending this with urgency because no one seems to be monitoring any of this activity. I had a geo-tech survey on my property two years ago, and there were no issues called out.The property on 5373 Paradise Bay road is called into question because of the destruction of all the large trees holding up the embankment.This property is a gully that no one can understand how it can be developed without the extreme damage to the waterfront and the risk of a landslide. When you read it,the Geo-tech report for this property is particular that someone needs to be called in on water pooling and other potential problems.The property was laid open for months in the extreme rain, and when I called and filed a complaint-Only then did the contractor sheet the mud hole/driveway. Pull the permit and see the cautions and limited tree removal.A shoreline exemption should not be granted based on the conditions.This property was classified as Hi-Risk SIPZ, and we see the impact.Another reason is excavation on the other side of the property. Massive trees, here again, are being removed, Heavy equipment, and no process for limited tree removal or thoughts to stabilize the embankment. 100 Seven Sisters Road is the address on this site.They plan on pouring concrete slabs for manufactured homes and an RV pad. I am not sure all that is called out on the permit. Next to this property, people living off the grid have built structures, have no permits, and live there full time without any utilities. Where is their greywater flowing? 120 Seven Sisters is the address. Up and down this shoreline off of Paradise Bay road is construction.Who is monitoring the potential hazards? For my embankment to start to collapse calls for immediate action. I will not risk losing my property because of negligence by new property owners and the county's approval without following up.The damage has already been done, but now it's dangerous. I am available to meet on the property to show all the damage. I have included pictures from the top of the property. 1 Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Regarding Precinct Boundaries I thank our elected officials and county staff for the expertise and consideration they are bringing to this process. I am glad to see that the proposed maps greatly reduce variability of precinct size. That goes a long way toward giving communities more equal representation. There is still one precinct that is just one-ninth the size of the largest. It doesn't seem practical to reduce the size of the largest (Precinct 2401, Marrowstone Island, with 924 voters). However, the two smallest could be combined to reduce this disparity and provide other benefits. I don't see a reason to perpetuate the division of the West End into 3601 (98 voters) and 3600 (154 voters). If they were combined, they would have 252 voters, almost a fourth the size of the largest, a big improvement. The people of the West End have much in common. I can think of no political benefit they derive from being in two precincts rather than one. On the contrary, dividing them into two precincts makes it more difficult to recruit Precinct Committee Officers, and so they are often unrepresented. I hope that the commissioners will decide that it is in the best interest of the county and our equal representation to combine these two precincts.

ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. To the Commissioners: Thank you for providing the opportunity to give testimony on the draft precinct maps you will be considering on Monday, March 7, 2022. May I first say how grateful I and my fellow Democrats are that the group working on the changes to precincts, including Auditor's staff, Heidi Eisenhour, and Kevin Hitchcock(County GIS) incorporated so well our(and the Republican party's) input. As stated in the press release in the February 23 Leader, the goals were "to have an equal number of precincts in each district, to create an equal number of voters across each precinct, and to keep communities such as fire districts and school districts intact. " These goals, along with efficiency in conducting elections by reducing the number of"split districts" (districts which require more than one ballot style) are all very important. The needs of Auditor's staff for efficiency and the need of political parties for voters to have equal representation in the election of their officers can sometimes conflict, and that's where the matter of judgment comes in. We are also very grateful that staff heard our request for and provided an interactive map that allows us to zoom in to see exactly where the proposed boundaries are and to choose to view the boundaries of junior taxing districts. The draft map does a much better job of equalizing the number of voters in each precinct in a thoughtful way that keeps neighborhoods intact. It is plain to see that it has not been possible to keep school districts completely intact while also honoring the equal-numbers goal. The most serious flaw with the draft map is that District 3 has 15 precincts, while Districts 1 and 2 have 12. We believe that there are solutions to this inequity that will not be difficult to implement. We will be providing detailed testimony on this under separate cover. The second flaw is that there is still a wide range in the number of voters in each precinct. Our detailed solutions will remedy some of these situations; however, in some cases we agree that, for instance, precinct 401, though the largest, at 924 voters, should not be shrunk, as it is comprised of two islands. Indian Island probably has no voters, and Marrowstone Island is definitely a neighborhood/community of interest that should stay intact. i HEARING COMMENT The other cases of too-small draft precincts are in District 3. We strongly recommend combining 3101 and 3102. This would result in a voter total of 894. Libby Wennstrom will provide a visual suggestion for moving some of those extra voters to an adjacent precinct. We understand that the proposed division of 3101 from 3102 follows the Sequim School District boundary. This brings me to the question of split precincts. We do understand that it is more complicated to create multiple ballot styles for a single precinct; however, if my review of the current voter file is correct, we now have only six precincts which are not split. (I reviewed the file for precincts which do or do not have a letter A,B,C,D, or even E appended to the precinct number.) It is clear that the draft map already includes a number of precincts that encompass more than one school district. One more instance of this seems worth it to achieve more equal precinct sizes. (If 3101 and 3102 can be combined,Fire District 8 will no longer be split.) We realize that our current precincts 3600 and 3601, on the West End, are challenging due to the number of junior taxing districts there. However, I have heard that the presence of the Queets and Hoh Tribes, being communities of interest, means that we should have two precincts with only 252 voters between them. I believe this is a misreading of the intent of our statutes' protection of communities of interest. In all the discussion I've heard during the state's redistricting process, it has been clear that the goal has been to keep communities of interest intact, in other words, not to "crack" them to dilute their voting power. The only local candidates that all West End voters will vote on will be Precinct Committee Officers; we don't believe that 254 voters should have the right to elect two PCOs to represent them. The combined number, 254, causes all the other precincts in District 3 to have significantly more voters than the precincts in the other districts, but we see that the West End cannot be brought closer to the average precinct than 254. (The average county-wide, is 707 if there are 39 precincts, 788 if our recommendation of 35 is followed.) Combining the current 3600 and 3601 into a single precinct will not"crack" either Tribe. Each will still be intact. In addition, in-person precinct caucuses are no longer contemplated by the Washington State Democrats. Both parties now favor the presidential primary, rather than caucuses, as their method for selecting delegates to the national convention. Everybody votes by mail. We see no disadvantage to the Tribes if they are both located in a single precinct. We would like to persuade you that combining 3101 and 3102 and revising the borders of 3503 and 3504, both with modest suggested adjustments being provided separately,will bring us much closer to the goal of equalizing the size of the precincts and, I hope and believe, will not result in a number of split precincts anywhere close to the number we currently have. And now, the question of precinct numbers. We have heard that any person whose precinct changes will need to be issued a new voter card and all the changed voter data will have to be input into the SOS system. This entails work, and sending the cards costs money. We can see two things from the draft map: (1) many voters will be changing precinct and (2) Kevin Hitchcock clearly found it useful to provide a leading 1, 2, or 3 to the labels on the map. It is just plain difficult to memorize which precincts, as currently numbered, belong, in which district. The current numbers, which place precincts in 100 series in both District 2 and District 3, places those in the 200 series in District 3 while the 300s are in District 2, is nonsensical. We urge that, aside from reviewing and approving precinct boundaries, you further request investigation of a new number scheme that will indicate the district in which a precinct lies. As for the cost of mailing new cards, might it be possible to allow voters to download and print their own cards? We don't need cards to go to the polls anymore. An option for voters to request a physical card could also be provided. If this cannot be accomplished this year, I hope that you will provide for the possibility of county-wide renumbering in some future year before 2032. 2 HEARING COMMENT Thanks again for your work on this issue so far.

Libby Urner Wennstrom +1.360.301.9728 libby@albatrosswriters.corn linkedin,com/in/libbyumer 1 HEARING COMMENT March 6, 2022 Comment on proposed Jefferson County Commissioner Precinct Maps from Libby Wennstrom. I want to emphasize here that I am commenting on these maps as a private citizen and as the Vice Chair of the Jefferson County Democrats, not as a City Councilor. I am heartened to see these draft maps—they've done a lot to correct substantial problems with existing precincts being of wildly unequal sizes. I really appreciate the significant effort that Quinn and Kevin and the rest of the team have put into doing these, and particularly the interactive tool for viewing the maps online with all the layers.Thank you. In general, the proposed maps are quite good. My recommendations are mostly small "tweaks" in just a few areas that I think address some problems. Here are my specific suggestions,which I believe benefit everyone: Number of Precincts per District Jefferson County currently has 39 precincts—12 in District 1, 12 in District 2, and 15 in District 3.The current proposed maps continue this imbalance. Having District 3 have three more precincts(and three more PCOs) than District 1 and District 2 is a substantial inequity, and creates problems both for the political parties and for anyone canvasing voters or running for office. Two of my proposals below would combine two pairs of small District 3 precincts, so if we did both changes,the final result would be 12 in District 1, 12 in District 2, and 13 in District 3—much better. Under the proposed maps, District 3 also has the most unbalanced precinct sizes,as shown here: i ,, 0 2 7 11 10 3 IiiIi!IiIIIIIII 1 1 5 While District 3 has more varied geography and more communities of interest (and more junior taxing districts!) we can do better than this with some minor changes to the proposed maps. Proposal:Combine two pairs of the smallest precincts in District 3:3600+3601,and 3101+3102. Combine Too-Small Precincts West End The two West End Precincts—3600(154 voters) and 3601 (98 voters) are just too small to warrant having two separate precincts.Yes,there are two different tribes represented. But districting rules emphasize keeping communities of interest together, not creating a separate precinct for each community. Many of our other rural precincts include multiple communities of interest. Yes,there are two school districts—but multiple other precincts on the proposed maps cross school district boundaries. (3200, 2300,2305 all include multiple school districts) Proposal: Combine Precinct 3600 and 3601 into a single West end precinct Libby Wennstrom Proposed Precinct Map Comment 3/6/2022 Page 1 of 5 HEARING COMMENT Discovery Bay(3101 and 3102) The current proposal is two precincts: 3101 (378 voters)and 3102 (516 voters). The only reason for this being two precincts is a school district boundary(proposed 3101 is in the Sequim school district). But as noted above, other precincts include multiple school districts.The simplest thing is to just combine these into a single precinct, but the combined size is large (894). My proposal is to balance that out with some minor adjustments, cutting off the "tail" at the bottom of 3102 as shown in Figure 1, and adding that to 3103. Yes, it splits 3103 across two school districts, but it both keeps Commissioner District Boundaries intact, and ends up with more equal size and regularly-shaped precincts,and keeps communities of interest together € fi Prec ct# 0�u'�m_ in ". �x 2� �� oy e,_ Precinct#3101;.Votes 378 „ ;: mu,,,l�,,, u II ,1 Precinct# 23C9 ",( II -:'�'I,� Iii F '�'� fi vtill!p µ _ rI II I 1: fA'I III':' @ y..' - ..',; ' i- 5tt,a1M1p" '.�'. ��:rFe�i�p'a.-'"-", ���.e. 1' Part'�Te�wnsendSchc�•i i�„s#riot ,. >'r:�; ',Precinct#230E nrn '• ::: Precinct#„230 ters 673 , " ....5 : ... �.

One precinct, 1710, is substantially bigger, with 820 voters. But looking at the maps, 1710(Morgan Hill neighborhood) is the area least likely to experience significant housing growth over the next decade, compared to other City precincts which have more open land and more planned building projects. Given that, over time the city precincts are likely to eventually even up in size. Two very small tweaks to suggest: Both Sides of Tremont St. to 1709 It makes more sense to include both sides of Tremont St in precinct 1709—they're part of a contiguous neighborhood to their north,vs. a big empty field to the south. It only moves about 20 houses, but makes the precinct easier to canvas and keeps the neighborhood whole. Precinct#1709,Voters 771 v k Precinct#1704,Voters 786 Esc 33rd St Figure 4.

Libby Wennstrom Proposed Precinct Map Comment 3/6/2022 Page 4 of 5 HEARING COMMENT Adjustments near Sather Park The Boundary between 1710 and 1703 near the corner of Sather Park has a weird "wiggle"that runs THROUGH several houses. If continued straight a short distance to Cosgrove Street itself, it would ensure that those homes are fully in 1703 - reducing possible confusion. Figure 5. Detail of Cosgrove St. near Sather Park. Alternatively, moving the boundary to the other side of Sather Park along Foster Street would also help to equalize the sizes of 1710(820 voters)and 1703 (777 voters). 0 Sr Precinct# 1710 Voters 820 Park t ck St It her Pasr - Chetzemoka : J 06.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. To the Commissioners: Thank you and county staff for taking on the task of addressing the imbalances in the boundaries, numbers of precincts and voters per precinct in our county. I understand that there many elements to consider in drafting new precinct boundaries. Given that, there are some deficiencies that I think need addressing. 1. PRECINCTS PER DISTRICT- FAIRNESS Most recently, there have been 39 precincts, 12 each for districts 1 and 2 and 15 for district 3. I don't know the history of why this is the case. It has, however, always been irksome. I understand that in elections each voter has only one vote. However, with regard to party politics, district 3 can have undue influence on the control and direction of the party. 25% more influence than each other precinct. That seems inherently unfair. Either reduce the number of precincts in district 3 to 12 or increase the number of precincts in districts 1 and 2 to 15. Or come up with another way to balance the precincts per district. State law requires that no precinct exceed 1500 voters. Right now we are nominally at somewhere in the high 700s. At roughly 27,000 voters or so 45 precincts would result in about 600 voters per precinct. My preference is to go with a lower number or 36 precincts vs 45. But I do strongly support a balance in the number of precincts per district. 2. PRECINCT NUMBERING SYSTEM—SIMPLICITY AND CLARITY King County has about 2.25 million people. I don't know exactly how many precincts they have but, at 1500 voters per precinct as a maximum per state law,that would be about 1500 precincts. However, I am sure it is way north of that. That said,their precinct numbering system has 4 digits—because it needs to. In Jefferson County we have 39 precincts. 39! Not thousands. Not hundreds. But tens.There is no reason for having 4 digits in our precinct numbering system. I was grateful that county staff listened to the call of putting the district number in the 4th position (thousands) of the present proposed numbering system.The numbering system is, however,too busy for our small county.We are not a metropolis and not likely to become one in our lifetimes.We don't need it. It is cumbersome and confusing. The numbering system I support would be to stay with a 3-digit system with the following changes. • The first digit, in the hundreds position,would be the district. 1 for district 1, etc. • The following 2 digits would be precinct numbers ranging from 1 to 12 (or 15 or whatever is decided upon) 1 HEARING COMMENT I know that this would require a little pain initially for the county to administer this. but it would be far more intuitive for the voter. Some people are numbers people and can remember precinct 3504 or 1710. Most people are not numbers people. However, they can likely remember their district number and a number between 1 and 12 or 15.Just because it "was" doesn't mean "it has to be". 3. VARIABILITY OF NUMBER OF VOTERS PER PRECINCT—PCO AND CANDIDATE WORKLOAD From the draft precinct maps it looks like the size of the precincts in districts 1 and 2 look fairly well balanced. Kudos to the county staff for this work. I understand that Marrowstone Island is its own animal and it doesn't make sense to make it smaller. District 3 is problematic. Others have addressed the imbalances between precincts in district 3. One of the responsibilities of PCOs is to stay in touch with constituents in their precinct, provide election literature to voters and, sometimes, "walk" the precinct to do distribute literature. When I was a PCO in Seattle I walked my precinct every election and dropped off campaign literature to each and every house in the precinct. I know that"walking" the precinct in our rural county is impractical. But, still,with such a large imbalance between precincts in numbers of voters it seems a bit unfair to some PCOs from larger precincts to be more burdened than others. Thanks for listening.

Styrofoam Recycling*Updated* The Port Townsend StyroCyclers are sorry to inform the community that all of the March collection events have been cancelled because they do not have use of the truck to get the styrofoam to the recycler in Kent until early April. Please keep your styrofoam clean and dry until their April collections,which will be announced later. 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,and cardboard removed.They also accept clean and dry packing peanuts of all colors and types (separated from the styrofoam),as well as white styrofoam food trays that are clean and free of stains and writing. Thanks to the Fort Worden PDA,the styrofoam is packed and stored at the Fort Worden Putnam bunker,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.

Sequestering carbon in our soils is a multi-win strategy.Yes,it will help to mitigate climate change--a drop or two in a very big bucket--but more importantly at this point,it will help us adapt to an increasingly disruptive climate. It supports the biology of the soil,enhancing nutrient delivery to the plants and producing more nutrient-rich food.It significantly increases water retention capacity,helping plants to survive both drought and flood.The increase in total vegetation supported by the soil means less erosion and more carbon continuously captured from the air.

Senators Van De Wege & Muzzall, Representatives Tharinger, Chapman, Paul, & Gilday, Island County Commissioners Bacon, Johnson, & St. Clair, Jefferson County Commissioners Dean, Eisenhour, & Brotherton, Mayors Faber& Hughes, and Port Townsend& Coupeville Councilmembers, Good morning. For those of you who were unable to attend, WSF Chief of Staff Nicole McIntosh and I just met with elected representatives (legislative, county, and city) from the Port Townsend/Coupeville route to discuss the upcoming April 10-June 18 reservation release. While the Service Restoration Plan isn't complete, with Thursday's reservations release, we need to publish the schedule for the public and wanted to let you know a second boat on the route would not be part of the release. While we continue recruiting, hiring, and training, it's unlikely we'll have crewing available for a second boat on the route in this reservation horizon. As you know, for the current schedule the service restoration order is: • Anacortes/San Juan Islands (Service reliably restored) • Seattle/Bainbridge (Trial restoration about to begin) • Clinton/Mukilteo • Edmonds/Kingston • Fauntleroy/Southworth/Vashon(Triangle Route) • Seattle/Bremerton It is likely the Service Restoration Plan will add Port Townsend/Coupeville after the Seattle/Bremerton route, which has been on one-boat service since Labor Day, has been restored to two-boat service. While we've worked to add a second boat on the other routes on a daily, or partial-daily, basis,they are often on one-boat service as well. And last night, service on the Pt. Defiance/Tahlequah route was suspended after 7pm i and dispatchers were challenged to keep one boat operating on the Triangle route. So, unfortunately, while understanding the economic importance of the Port Townsend/Coupeville route, we simply don't have the crewing to add a second boat. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, John John B.

USDA Forest Service S.DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Olympic National Forest I March 2022 Dear Neighbor, This week you will receive a press release welcoming a Deputy Forest Supervisor to the forest. The addition of a Deputy Forest Supervisor will transition us away from District Rangers and allow the forest to be more interconnected throughout the Peninsula. Though our leadership structure is changing, our commitment to communities is not wavering if anything it's at the core of this change. Understandably, this change can cause confusion and fear, but the outcome will be investments in large scale efforts while having more identified staff to work with communities and partners. This shift in leadership structure accompanies our larger strategic approach to stewarding the forest holistically as a cohesive part of the peninsula. In efforts to be more adaptable and responsive to communities while responding to ongoing modernization we are aligning efforts to: • Deliver predictable timber harvests through landscape restoration • Work to co-manage lands with indigenous nations and people • Manage recreation on the Olympic Peninsula across boundaries • Provide resilient infrastructure • Improve watershed health to support aquatic habitats and clean water i • Intentionally increase community engagement The Olympic Peninsula is known and visited as one place. It is complex and connected. The intent is to shift our organization's perspective to one of an integrated Olympic Peninsula perspective. It is a powerful shift that will take a bit of discipline and leadership to broaden our view but one that can have a positive impact for the landscape and local communities. Together the Deputy Forest Supervisor and I will be practicing a shared leadership model g p Y which will include our whole leadership team. In this coming year you will see myself and my colleagues reach out to engage on future and ongoing strategic investments. Below you will find the team's contact information. Feel free to use this as an entry point to start or continue building what we hope is a robust relationship. As you know the Olympic Peninsula is truly unique and special. As I keep learning more and more about the diversity of landscapes, species, rich cultural heritage, and world- class recreation I'm continuously in awe and honored to work with you to steward this place. On behalf of our team, we look forward to learning and working with you, Kelly Kelly Lawrence Susan Beall Forest Supervisor Deputy Forest Supervisor c: 509-656-4111 c: 541-517-4453 kelly.lawrence2 «@usda.gov susan.beall i ,s v Nicole LaGioia Robin Shoal Public Services Staff Officer Natural Resources Staff Officer c: 360-301-5879 c: 971-806-7601 nicole.lagioia@usda.gov Lobin shoal@usda.grev Marge Hutchinson Corina Rendon Forest Engineer, Community Engagement & Engineer Staff Officer Public Affairs Officer c: 425-466-9651 c: 425-248-5431 mariorie.hutchinson@usda.gov corina.rendon@usda.gov USDA is an equal opportunity provider, eMployer, and lenderOlympic t r 1NationalForest �- , Vitlluw. .fit da_ C�} 2 MIh� � Olympic National Forest 1 1835 Black Lk Blvd SW, Olympia, WA 98512 Unsubschbeheisenhour@cojefferson.wa.us Update Profile I Constant Contact Data Notice Sent bykeUy.|awnenceZ@usda.gnv powered by Constant �G� ��d�U����o�� �°~~. .�~~,~~ Try email marketing for free today! 3 Julie Shannon From: Heidi Eisenhour Sent: Wednesday, March 9, 2022 4:02 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: News Release: Olympic National Forest announces Peninsula wide focus From: Olympic National Forest Sent: Wednesday, March 9, 2022 4:00:54 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Heidi Eisenhour Subject: News Release: Olympic National Forest announces Peninsula wide focus ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.
