(Shannon Stapleton/Reuters) PREMIUM CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS Jan. 6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story Attendees say its important to understand what really happened that day By Beth Brelje January 6,2022 Updated:January 6, 2022 AI Print Protesters. Insurrectionists. White supremacists? The thousands of Americans who went to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and their intentions on that day, have been described in many ways. 1/9 https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story BREAKING LS Inflation at Nearly Four-Decade High: Here's What is Getting Most Expensive The narrative of that day depends on who is telling the story. The loudest narrative, the one that demonizes attendees, comes from the federal government, politicians, and many media outlets. The people who can best tell the other side of the story are still suffering the consequences from that day. Four people, all Donald Trump supporters, died. Some attendees are still in prison, some have been getting visits from the FBI, others have had their reputations smeared for attending. Rick Saccone and his wife rode a bus filled with Pennsylvanians to Washington in support of Trump. He says it was mostly senior citizens peacefully demonstrating. "People were dancing, singing, and one man dressed like Uncle Sam was walking on stilts in the crowd," Saccone told The Epoch Times. They had no knowledge of violence until they got back on the bus toward home. Saccone of Allegany County is a former Pennsylvania state legislator, retired Air Force officer, and current candidate for Pennsylvania lieutenant governor. His attendance in Washington on Jan. 6 is low-hanging fruit for media outlets wishing to impose an unflattering lens on his campaign, but he is not bothered by their efforts. "You have the media twisting this story. It is a deflection of what happened in Portland and Rick Saccone (Courtesy Rick Saccone) Seattle. That is the definition of an insurrection, and nothing has happened with that," he said of rioters who attacked federal buildings in those cities and tried to set them on fire. Since Jan. 6, there have been investigations, calls for the public to turn in attendees, home visits from the FBI, arrests, and long prison stays. https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 2/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story BREAKING US In Rat ion at dearly Four-Decade High: Here's What is Dot ling Most Expensive V,.V LM1l It J.

First Amendment rights are being challenged by a small minority of left-wing media that are monopolizing the narrative, which is why we have to speak out and correct the narrative." Saccone says too many people, including elected Republicans, are cowering in fear. "We're going to tell the truth about Jan. 6 and flip the narrative. Our founders didn't cower in fear; they stood up for their rights," Saccone said. "The truth is, a half million people exercised their First Amendment rights." The ones who got violent, he says, were not true Trump supporters. Political Prisoner Ned Lang of Sullivan County, New York, has not seen his son Jake Lang, 26, since Christmas, 2020. Jake has been in prison since Jan. 13, 2021, charged with assaulting a police officer on Jan. 6. https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 3/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story US 1 Lati .y _ , , , � ' What { � Most Expensive x BREAKING �� rs Ei);1 at �:,<31`1 `(�(.13`` (:a�.,r� E, High: Here's;3 V�v��;a . 4� :�€:,1�6i`lC ��.:z Jake Lang(Courtesy Ned Lang) When Ned first heard the charges, he was so disappointed that he refused to speak to his son. He didn't raise him that way and figured, you do the crime, you do the time. But Jake begged his dad to hear his story. "He said, `Please, dad, just look at the videos. I saved this man's life. I was there when Roseanne Boyland died. The police attacked us. We weren't doing anything wrong. They attacked us for no reason," Ned relayed to The Epoch Times. It is difficult to discern what is happening in the videos which can be seen online at j6truth.org. https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 4/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story S ; F ( 3 \ s s n X BREAKING ��,�� inflation ���( Nearly � t� r�-��.aAA<���� High: Here's ���� : i�.� Getting ➢��..>� � ���.:��,:����, It is clear that Boyland, 34, was on the ground. In media reports, Capitol Police say she was being trampled, police went into the crowd to save her and were attacked by protesters. Protesters say she was beaten by police with a baton and they were trying to stop police. Ultimately, law enforcement dragged her into the Capitol building and she died. Her death was blamed on a drug overdose but her family has publicly questioned the cause. Jake was among those who intervened. After the rally, he went home to Orange County, New York, where, on the evening of Jan. 13, around 15 federal agents broke in his door and arrested him. "My son has not had a haircut, no shave, in a year," Ned said. He is Jewish and has not been allowed to go to synagogue. Ned saw his son during a September court bail hearing. He described his son's condition as thin with a scraggy beard that touches his chest, and hair down below his collar. Jake has not been offered bail yet. He has been offered a deal that includes 10 years in prison. "We're not doing that," Ned said. "You have all these folks (in Portland, Seattle and the summer riots in Washington D.C.) that were actually attacking cops, trying to burn down federal buildings, and all the horrible things that they were doing. And my son and the rest of the J6 patriots are being harshly persecuted by the same folks that are letting all these other folks just walk after doing the same type of crimes, or worse." "My son was in 202 days of solitary confinement," Ned said. "The water in solitary was so dirty—so rusty—that he had to strain the water with a sock in order to be able to drink it or use it at all. It was pure brown and full of dust. He was in total isolation. Just before the rally this summer, the whole patriot unit was locked in the cells for 24/7 for two weeks." https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 5/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story BREAKING US 9nftatlon at Needy Four-Decade er< d High: Here's What l,7 Getting Most Exp;,mi3ivt:. communication for a few weeks recently, Ned said. privileges He is proud of Jake for standing up and enduring this pain, with the knowledge that, one day, they will be able to tell the true story what happened on Jan. 6. "I don't care what side of politics you are on. It is not OK for any government to simply pick you up off the street with whatever charges they want to put against you, and purposely not give you bail," Ned said. "Right now, there's bail reform going on throughout the whole United States and these people are being politically persecuted because they're Trump supporters and that's not OK. Today, it's our sons and daughters. Tomorrow when you have a different government with a different political philosophy, it could be your sons and daughters." "As Putin said so famously, `For the first time ever, America has political prisoners.' America no longer has a high ground to justify punishing another country because of political persecution of their citizens, as America now is doing the same thing," he said. No Insurrection After the 2020 election, Guy and Nicole Refitt of Collin County, Texas mulled over what to do to make their voices heard. "Not just in regard to 'Stop the Steal' but stop stealing our democracy," Nicole told The Epoch Times. "We made the decision to go to D.C., because we felt like it was a numbers game—that we had to show up in numbers. It is our duty as Americans, when we see an issue that is plaguing our democracy, to show up. To be idle will kill our country. And we just felt that it was time. If it wasn't us, who is it going to be?" But Nicole had to work, so Guy, her husband of 21 years, drove from Texas to the Jan. 6 rally without her. As usual, Guy 49, brought his guns, which he typically carries everywhere. Nicole says he is well versed in the rules. While in Washington, his guns were left secured in his vehicle at the hotel parking lot with the ammunition and guns stored separately. https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-Who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 6/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story BREAKING US inflation at Nearly ""oer Dec: de Hihft Here's What is Getting Most xpensIv returned home without incident. But a family member started political conversations with Guy and secretly recorded him, and then shared the recordings with the FBI, Nicole said. Court papers say he told his kids that if they turned him in to the FBI, they would be traitors and, "You Guy and Nicole Reffitt(Courtesy Nicole Reffitt) know what happens to traitors, they get shot." This got him charged with obstruction of justice—hindering communication through physical force or threat of physical force, court papers show He was also charged with transporting firearms with intent to unlawfully use the firearms. "Between the hours of 5 and 6 a.m. on the morning of Jan. 16, the FBI raided our home with flashbangs and a counterterrorism unit," Nicole said. "They removed me and my teenage daughter and two of her friends and put us behind the battering ram truck. They then took Guy and other than one brief moment at a court hearing when he was still in Dallas, that was the last time I saw my husband. It has been 350 days since I've seen him. He's been denied bail every time for being a danger to the community. Guy has no prior criminal charges against him ever." Guy works in the Texas energy sector and Nicole is in retail. He was the main breadwinner. Without his paycheck, they couldn't keep his truck. At the end of December, the family had just $134 and Nicole didn't know how she was going to make the January rent. She and her daughter, 24, have been working as many hours as possible to make ends meet. Since Christmas Day, Guy and others being held in connection with Jan. 6 have been locked in their cells for 22 hours a day, Nicole said. He went for 11 months without a haircut or shave, from January to December, but one day last month they took him out of his cell and cut his hair. https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 7/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story BREAKING US inflation <: t Nearly Four-Decade Hic i' : I- c:,l e's What a is Getting Expensive :ensi r �JµJ-..L.

If you're not with their status quo, you are going to be punished, and that is the point that they're making with our patriots that are being detained now" "There's no insurrection. No one has been charged with insurrection, so that is just a falsity" Nicole said. "That is just a word they keep pushing into people's faces. "The assault on our democracy has been going on for years. They've chipped away at our freedoms. The American people can only take so much and if you just keep complying, you keep allowing them to bend our Bill of Rights, they're going to have complete control over our country" she said. "The fortitude of our election integrity should be foremost in any free country. And to not even pause to say, `Let's take a look at this,' just proves that the people in power, at this point, do not care if they lie to us, or what they do. They're going to keep pushing the narrative that they want.

Throughout its history, Washington has demonstrated a consistent commitment to environmental justice. In 1971, Washington became the second state to establish an environmental impact review that applied to local agencies (joined by only California)—the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). Arguably the state's most fundamental piece of environmental legislation, SEPA ensures that state and local agencies comprehensively consider potential environmental effects throughout their decision making process. SEPA requires that a government proposal must include thorough "identification and evaluation of possible impacts a government proposal may have on the government." Especially given that its governor served as co-chair of the United States Climate Alliance and ran a presidential platform centered around climate justice, coupled with the state's pioneering of progressive carbon pricing legislation, its lead on renewable energy consumption, and championing of responsible environmental impact review—on paper, Washington is nationally perceived as an emblem of environmental progressivism. d. cot 1 ATz 4 'f�i : Une caa� rrni ;' " ;fl11MY bk ✓, 11i www.cpreview.org/blog/2022/1/militarization-in-state-parks-washington-states-environmental-hypocrisy 2/9 1/12/22,9:58 AM Militarization in State Parks:Washington State's Environmental Hypocrisy—COLUMBIA POLITICAL REVIEW Washington State Legislature building in Olympia, Washington. Photo. Yet despite the state's seemingly progressive environmental developments, Washington finds itself regressing politically, becoming the first state in the US to introduce covert military training in state parks —an unprecedented endangerment of innocent park visitors and public land. In spite of overwhelming.public obection, consisting of over 800 written comments, 7300 petition signatures, and 57 verbal testimonies against the usage of state parks for military training, in addition to opposition from various county commissions, city councils, and local environmental advocacy organizations, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission voted 4-3 to grant a permit to the US Navy on January 28th. This permit will grant the US Navy access to 28 coastal state parks for military warfare training. The 8 Washington state parks at risk of becoming training grounds include beloved destinations like Cama Beach, Deception Pass, and Fort Townsend. The approval of this permit means that Navy SEALs will be able to use the aforementioned state parks to conduct independent training entailing landing on shorelines, climbing upland, and conducting covert military surveillance on unbeknownst park visitors. Tn a ctatemPnt to the Whl./lhOW, Nvro,c-Tinipc Na\l17 www.cpreview.org/blog/2022/1/militarization-in-state-parks-washington-states-environmental-hypocrisy 3/9 1/12/22,9:58 AM Militarization in State Parks:Washington State's Environmental Hypocrisy—COLUMBIA POLITICAL REVIEW Region Northwest Deputy Public Affairs Officer Sheila Murray, explained that members of the public may be unwittingly a part of the military training: "The intent of the training is to teach trainees the skills needed to avoid detection and to avoid leaving any trace behind . . . That means conducting operations around the public without the public being aware. This nonconsensual use of Washington state parks raises concerning questions about the privacy of Washington residents. Even more alarming is that if public spaces designated for recreation like state parks can't ensure privacy and serenity, to what limit will natural land continue to be expensed for militarization? The use of state parks for military training also poses an unprecedented environmental issue. With limited existing formal research on the environmental impacts specifically caused by military training, it is relatively unclear the exact extent to which the environment will be harmed by this policy. This ambiguity is exactly whyenvironmental activists contend that the vote to allow the military to train in state parks was irresponsible and hasty. In response to this violation of Washington's natural lands, the Whidbey Environmental Action Network (WEAN) an environmental advocacy non-profit local to Washington dedicated to preserving the biological diversity of the Pacific Northwest—is suing the Washington State Parks and Recreation www.cpreview.org/blog/2022/1/militarization-in-state-parks-washington-states-environmental-hypocrisy 4/9 1/12/22,9:58 AM Militarization in State Parks:Washington State's Environmental Hypocrisy—COLUMBIA POLITICAL REVIEW t./ JJ1V11 1Vl 111 VJ L/V11rJ1 A/lt. 11V6115%. 1.1iVl1 V Vlli to allow the Navy to conduct military warfare training in Washington State parks. t b j0_ 4 Marianne Edain (left) and Steve Erickson, environmental activists and co- founders of WEAN.

In an interview with Steve Erickson—co-founder of WEAN and litigation coordinator for the lawsuit he contends that the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission has set a dangerous precedent for the militarization of natural lands. Erickson explained that the Navy will be landing on beaches using submarines and climbing up shorelines. With concerns for our marine life and vegetation, Erickson pointed to how nearshore kelp forests and eelgrass can be harmed by the use of such machinery in our beaches. !y www.cpreview.org/blog/2022/1/militarization-in-state-parks-washington-states-environmental-hypocrisy 5/9 1/12/22,9:58 AM Militarization in State Parks:Washington State's Environmental Hypocrisy—COLUMBIA POLITICAL REVIEW Kelp forests underwater near La Jolla cliffs. Photo. Moreover, given how sensitive and erosion prone vegetation is, Erickson explained that careless actions can leave rare plant species disrupted: "When the Navy is off hiding in the bushes, sometimes there are rare things in those bushes—plants and animals. I don't expect your average SEAL trainee to have a working knowledge of rare plants and animals and how to behave around them, that's not what they're trained for, that's not their job." Not in Our Parks, the advocacy campaign sponsored by WEAN, states that every park has its own set of unique natural and cultural resources, so "the potential for significant adverse impacts needs to be considered separately for each unique park to meet the legal requirement to protect the resources of each park." Erickson also asserts that the current attempt to turn state parks into military training grounds is, simply put, illegal. "Something can be done that's illegal until somebody stops it, one way or the other. [Military training in state parks] is contrary to the purpose of state parks in www.cpreview.org/blog/2022/1/militarization-in-state-parks-washington-states-environmental-hypocrisy 6/9 1/12/22,9:58 AM Militarization in State Parks:Washington State's Environmental Hypocrisy—COLUMBIA POLITICAL REVIEW laws governing state parks ... their regulations, [and] the state laws governing state parks," he said. Referencing SEPA, Erickson explained that the Washington State Parks Commission failed to uphold the environmental protection policy by not thoroughly researching the potential environmental consequences of voting to allow the military to train in state parks. WEAN argues that the Parks Commission violated SEPA by specifically adopting only the final mitigated determination of non-significance on the Navy's proposal. The legal complaint filed by WEAN further asserts that the commission did not consider the training's impact on park visitors, who may be fearful of not only encountering military personnel and weaponry but also the possibility of being surveilled by these military personnel. But this willful ignorance toward militarization among the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is unsurprising. Navy documents reveal that park commissioners were offered discreet flights to tour aircraft carriers paired with complimentary overnight stays, luncheons with the Admiral and Undersecretary of the Navy, and private tours of Navy facilities. The extensive footprint the US military has on Washington State is not only demonstrated by the commission's lengthy transactional relationship with the US military, but also Washington's housing of the third largest Navy installation in the US. Such military influences in Washington make the state, as Erickson puts, an "easy mark," for expanding military www.cpreview.org/blog/2022/1/militarization-in-state-parks-washington-states-environmental-hypocrisy 7/9 1/12/22,9:58 AM Militarization in State Parks:Washington State's Environmental Hypocrisy—COLUMBIA POLITICAL REVIEW Military warfare training is the antithesis of the traditional peace and tranquility that state parks seek to offer to visitors and wildlife. For now, only a handful of parks in Washington State are threatened, but if government agencies continue to submit to military influence, this handful of parks will become a torrent. Before we know it, public lands beyond just state parks will become targets. The trend of unethical militarization is an increasing one and will only continue to grow if government agencies do not responsibly assess its ramifications. As Erickson said, "If the military can train in state parks, there will be no place where they will not be able to train ... No place in society will be exempt from militarization." When Washington pridefully portrays itself as environmentally progressive, but prioritizes the needs of the military at the expense of its state parks, wildlife, and environmental protection policies—how environmentally progressive of a state can it really be?

The Final Rule will go into effect on April 1, 2022. However, a county can choose to take advantage of the Final Rule's new flexibilities and simplifications now, even ahead of the effective date. Treasury is hosting three webinars to brief and answer questions about the Final Rule. If Treasury reaches RSVP capacity and you cannot attend a webinar or prefer to be briefed at your convenience, Treasury will post a recording of the webinar hosted on January 7. Webinar dates are as follows: Jan. 7 at 1 p.m. EST Jan. 10 at 4 p.m. EST Jan. 12 at 1 p.m. EST REGISTER* E j REGISTER REGISTER *This webinar will be recorded and shared within a few business days. NACo NATIONAL MEMBERSHIP CALL Join NACo on Monday,January 10 at 1 p.m. EST for an overview of the REGISTER Treasury's Final Rule for the Recovery Fund,and key highlights for counties. Since the Recovery Fund was established, NACo has worked closely with Treasury to ensure county recommendations and priorities are included in the Final Rule. The Final Rule provides the following changes and new flexibility: • Allows counties to use up to $10 million in ARPA Recovery Funds for the provision of government services without having to go through a complicated "revenue loss" calculation. NACo aggressively advocated for this concept to be included in the Final Rule, which was a significant part in the bipartisan State, Local,Tribal, and Territorial Fiscal Recovery, Infrastructure, and Disaster Relief Flexibility Act (S. 3011/H.R. 5735) • Allows Recovery Funds to be used for the modernization of cybersecurity for existing and new broadband infrastructure, including the modernization of hardware and software • Expands eligible uses for water and sewer projects to include culvert repair, dam and reservoir rehabilitation and stormwater infrastructure, among others • Clarifies how counties can use Recovery Funds for certain capital expenditures to respond to public health and economic impacts • Streamlines options to provide premium pay by broadening the share of eligible workers 2 NACo will release an in-depth analysis of Treasury's Final Rule in the coming days, and will give members extensive opportunities in the future to learn about the impact of Treasury's Final Rule.

Most recently, the ` engineering and construction publication Engineering News-Record named the terminal its Northwest Project of the Year and gave it the award of merit for Excellence in Sustainability.

In August we launched our updated Sustainabilitv Action Plan for the 2021-2023 biennium, which also evaluated successes and areas to improve from the 2019-2021 plan. Since releasing our first plan in 2019, we removed 7,000 tons of creosote in Mukilteo, which was four percent of the remaining creosote in Puget Sound at the time. Both the Mukilteo and Seattle projects have enhanced storm water `'•.: treatment systems.

The SLFRF program ensures governments have the resources needed to respond to the pandemic, including providing health and vaccine services, supporting families and businesses struggling with the pandemic's economic impacts, maintaining vital public services, and building a strong and equitable recovery. To date, Treasury has distributed more than $245 billion to state, local, and Tribal governments as a part of the SLFRF program, accounting for over 99% of funds eligible to be disbursed in 2021 — including funds to many communities that had not received federal assistance since the onset of the pandemic. Recipients of funds were encouraged to begin using funds under the interim final rule, which was released in May 2021. Governments have been spending these funds to address the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic effects, including by expanding access to testing, vaccines, and taking other steps to protect their communities including those that are high-risk and underserved. A recent analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found that state governments have appropriated nearly 70% of their available funds as of November 2021. "Through the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, the American Rescue Plan has provided state and local governments with the support they need to respond to the ongoing pandemic and plan for an equitable recovery,"said Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo. "As the Delta and Omicron variants have illustrated, pandemic response needs will continue to evolve. These funds ensure that governments across the country have the flexibility they need to vaccinate their communities, keep schools open, support small businesses, prevent layoffs, and ensure a long-term recovery." The final rule —which takes effect on April 1, 2022 — provides state and local governments 2 with increased flexibility to pursue a wider range of uses, as well as greater simplicity so governments can focus on responding to the crisis in their communities and maximizing the impact of their funds. The State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Program final rule provides additional clarity and flexibility for recipient governments, including: • First, Treasury has expanded the non-exhaustive list of uses that recipients can use to respond to COVID-19 and its economic impacts — ensuring states and localities can adapt quickly and nimbly to changing public health and economic needs. This includes clarifying that recipients can use funds for certain capital expenditures to respond to public health and economic impacts and making services like childcare, early education, addressing learning loss, and affordable housing development available to all communities impacted by the pandemic. • Second, Treasury has expanded support for public sector hiring and capacity, which is critical for the economic recovery and in maintaining vital public services for communities. • Third, Treasury has streamlined options to provide premium pay for essential workers, who bear the greatest health risks because of their service in critical sectors. • Fourth, Treasury has broadened eligible water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure projects — understanding the unique challenges facing each state and locality in delivering clean water and high-speed broadband to their communities. • In addition to these expansions, Treasury has greatly simplified the program for small localities — many of whom have received a historic federal investment in their communities through this program — including through the option to elect a standard allowance for revenue loss rather than calculating revenue loss through the full formula.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hi folks.Thanks for taking my question. I am unsure if I can be live on Zoom on Monday given my schedule. As we enter 2022, I wanted to get an update from you about the status of the payment to the County of $191,379.00 that has been unpaid since 2019 (though billed by the County in June of 2020 for some odd reason). As a small business owner in this county I cannot imagine the county waiting for years to get paid by me for hundreds of thousands of dollars that the County would have done for me. I know I'm expected to pay county taxes, business licenses etc. in a timely manner. Can you explain where the County is on this issue and when we can expect to see this bill get paid? If I don't make it in to the live Zoom call I'll watch it on the replay later. Thanks.

If/when that happens,we may ask for or a representative from one or more of the responding agencies to join briefly to talk about your work and the impacts you have seen. I'll be in touch on that piece if/when we have a time scheduled. I've already been in touch with the State Emergency Management Division and let them know we would like to participate in a Preliminary Damage Assessment,the first step toward a federal disaster declaration and availability of Stafford Act funding.As usual, I and/or EMD will be in touch to initiate that process. The local declaration doesn't necessarily preclude us from inclusion in a federal declaration, but it can help support our case to the feds. Happy to help take this step to bolster our chances. I'll be in touch once we have more details. In the meantime,don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything else. Thanks all!

If your staff is anything like mine at Mason County I'm sure they are running on fumes. I hope you consider taking action to join Mason County and declare an emergency.The high winds combined with the snow and freezing weather created a dangerous situation for our residents and response crews. I hope we will be able to recover funds if and when they become available from FEMA but also know a declaration can assist with getting much- needed supplies for the response. 2 If I or my staff can be of any assistance or you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, Please see the KPTZ questions listed below for Monday, January 10, 2022 BOCC Update. The first four questions were not addressed during the update on January 3rd. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team A compliment for Dr Berry from a KPTZ listener: I want to thank Dr. Berry for helping our county do the right thing and mandate masking and proof of vaccination in public spaces. Every morning I wake up thinking how lucky I live here because of such good leadership in this difficult time. Questions for Dr Berry: 1. Are cloth masks effective against the Omicron variant? Are surgical masks? Or do we need N95's ? Are there certain brands of surgical masks or N95's you recommend? Also, does the 70% - 75% protection provided by the booster apply to the elderly as well - or do elderly only gain a lower amount of protection from serious illness/hospitalization? 2. After I got vaccinations one and two I was followed by an automated system (that I signed up for). But when I got the booster I couldn't link to the automated system and I don't see how I can provide follow-up information on any after effects from the booster shot. Why is that? 3. I received the two shot Moderna vaccination. Unfortunately, I got Covid (presumably Delta)just prior to receiving my booster shot. Fortunately, I received monoclonal antibody therapy (Regeneron) at Jefferson Healthcare and have recovered with no side effects. My understanding is Regeneron is not effective against the Omicron variant. I also understand that I am not to get a booster shot for 90 days after receiving the monoclonal antibody therapy. If I abide by the 90 days it will be the second half of February before I get a booster shot. It seems to me the effectiveness of the Moderna vaccination had waned or I would not have contracted Covid to the extent requiring Regeneron. Otherwise, I am in good health and 70 years of age. • What is my level of protection against Omicron? What is my level of protection in general? Is my current level of protection equivalent to a person who has received his vaccination but not the booster? As my level of protection had apparently waned and Regeneron is not effective against the Omicron variant I am concerned that I could easily get Covid again, this time via Omicron. i • If my immune system is not effective or only minimally effective against the Omicron variant, is there anything I can do to shorten the 90 day period? I have approximately 60 days left on the 90 day period. • Would I get a booster at the end of the 90 period or do I get the full two shot vaccination? I completed my two shot vaccination at the end of February 2021. 4. My wife and I are both high risk seniors. I have cancer and she has been unable to produce antibodies from either vaccine. We limit our outings to necessary errands, mostly medical appointments, and always wear KN95 masks. Despite this, Jefferson Healthcare's policy is for us to either swap our masks for their surgical masks at the door, or wear theirs over ours, which makes breathing difficult. Additionally, we recently learned that because of this policy, there are people who assume the masks they're asked to wear at JHC are superior to KN95's. Can your office offer guidance to help change this policy? 5. When will Jefferson Country residents be getting free at-home testing kits from the federal government? 6. With the Omicron variant being recognized as much more transmissible, does that change the idea that outdoor activities are safe? I am starting to see hikers on the trails of Fort Worden and Fort Townsend starting to mask up again when passing other hikers. Is this now advised? 7. Now the push seems to test. I have read that the at home, rapid tests, such a Binax are not as effective at catching the omicron variant. I have also heard that you should not test immediately (if you are lucky enough to get your hands on a test), for at least 2 days after you have symptoms or you know you have been exposed because your viral load isn't high enough to have an effective test. I have also read that omicron is not being found so much in nasal secretions but more so in saliva. Can you help sort through this since now the emphasis is on testing, especially if you are fully vaccinated. 8. I have read that the recommendation for mask wearing is that cloth masks are no longer recommended. N95 or KN95 masks are recommended for all unless you double mask with a surgical mask with a cloth mask over it. Is this the current recommendation? 9. I work as a healthcare provider (very few patients per week), and I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I did order a couple of at-home Covid tests,to have on hand, in case of exposure. Now I am wondering how accurate the results will be if I needed to use them. I seem to remember hearing on your update, last week, there can be false negatives with those? Is it better to go in for the test at the health dept if I ever developed symptoms? 10. I work in healthcare, private practice, very part time. I screen for temperature, 02 sat and other Covid symptoms, but I'm not sure how high a temperature to be concerned about. I have read "anything over 99 degrees" and also "anything over 104 degrees, in adults." 11. Before Omicron reared its ugly head, we had made vacation reservations for February- direct flights of about 6 hours each way. We're both in our 70's, healthy, vaccinated and boosted. We need to decide by mid- January whether to cancel, if we are to get deposit refunds. What criteria would you recommend we use in deciding whether to cancel our trip? Or would it be smart just to cancel the trip? 2 12. I have a friend who got the Janssen shot and got a breakthrough infection. Would that breakthrough infection serve as her booster? 13. Is omicron better detected with a throat swab than with a nose swab? I've been seeing murmurings about this online as well, with some conflicting information. Would Dr. Berry mind speaking on this? 14. Our household is boosted and we're wondering with the current Omicron uptick whether it's wise to have un-boosted but vaxxed friends over for dinner? (unmasked/inside). I believe you mentioned at the 1/3/22 update that it's ok to gather with boosted friends inside unmasked. Also, what is your opinion about dining in restaurants right now or going out for a beer? We're assuming that people in PT restaurants are vaccinated, but they may not be boosted. We're trying to weigh the risks. 15. How can we know which KN95 masks are "legitimate"? We have just bought a box of these from CVS pharmacy. The brand is Sausen. It is called a Filtering Facepiece Respirator. They are made in China. KN95 is stamped into the mask. The box has good directions about how to fit it to your face and related information. How do we know these are good? After using a KN95, can we let it air for some period of time and then reuse it? 16. Are the antigen tests reliable for Omicron? Are some brands better than others? Assuming that they are reliable, if I take an antigen test so I can go to someone's house unmasked, how many hours is it good for? Isn't it true that I could have a low level, but increasing, amount of virus in my body, so although I had a negative antigen test, 4 hours later an antigen test would come out positive? Haven't I just exposed all those people to COVID? 17. About the FDA's request for decades of wait time to turn over the preclinical data... I'm not sure I completely followed what you said. It sounded like you said the FDA was going to share the data across 55 years, but it looks to me like that time period was actually 75 years. Also, I don't think it's true that all of the data is already available, like I think you said. It looks like the first 500 pages produced really did contain data that hadn't been publicly available yet. Can you check on that? In a new post (see https://aaronsiri.substack.com/p/the-fda-wants-to-hide-pre-licensure) it looks like post-licensure safety data which definitely has not been publicly disclosed is also not being shared, this time by the CDC, despite them already having the data in a deidentified format. In another post from just earlier today (https://aaronsiri.substack.com/p/instead-of-fdas-requested-500-pages) it looks like the FDA request was rejected, and now they have to produce 55,000 pages a month. I'm not trying to make a big fuss over nothing, but I don't like what I'm reading and it really does seem like a lack of transparency and effort to hide data that I wouldn't expect from the government. Could you speak to this lawsuit/FOIA request in a little more depth and with this new information again on Monday? 3 jeffbocc From: Kincaid Gould <kincaidgould@protonmail.com> Sent: Friday, January 7, 2022 1:47 PM To: Board of Health;jeffbocc Subject: Stricter Mandate, Please ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear BOH and BOCC, Omicron has apparently really taken off with infections here in Jefferson County (combined with an increase in testing). Data out of JCPH this week indicates some 192 new positive tests. Of those 192, we had 41 (21.4%) returned by residents who were not fully vaccinated and 151 from residents who were fully vaccinated (78.6%). Since August of 2021, this changes the numbers to show 48.6% of all positive tests have come from the not fully vaccinated versus 51.4%from the fully vaccinated (that's a change from 54.1% of cases in the not fully vaccinated versus 45.9% in the fully vaccinated last week, by the way). This also gets down to a maximum of 43.3% of cases in the not fully vaccinated and 56.7% in the fully vaccinated since August if you only include people who were eligible for vaccination (I've talked about this in a previous email--those numbers are overestimates (possibly large overestimates) because of the way JCPH reports their data). Also note that JCPH's percentages shifted by a huge margin today (they measure since 02/01/2021); 67.39% among the unvaccinated last week down to 62.19% this week. It would seem that the omicron variant is easily evading those with full vaccination (granted, this data doesn't mention how many people were boosted.) Seeing as that's the case, and that, according to the method Dr. Berry has been using to analyze the data (i.e., not taking into account what percentage of those being tested are not/fully vaccinated), this indicates that the omicron variant is affecting those who are fully vaccinated more than those who are not fully vaccinated, might it be time to consider dropping the discriminatory vaccine passport system? Do we consider this and the huge rise in cases that haven't been accompanied by any new deaths (!) and have seen few new hospitalizations (which may have been from delta) and think that maybe it's time to reassess the situation? Or is the Health Officer going to be given the green light to one-up herself and only"give permission to eat"to those who have been boosted, effectively closing restaurants and bars to over 20% of the population which hasn't received a single shot yet for at least 6-7 months, and the many more who aren't going to opt to get boosted? I'm sure everyone would love that...

The thousands of Americans who went to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and their intentions on that day, have been described in many ways. https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 1/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story BREAKING US Inflation r y Four-Decado digh: Here's What is Get Getting Most Fxpensive The narrative of that day depends on who is telling the story. The loudest narrative, the one that demonizes attendees, comes from the federal government, politicians, and many media outlets. The people who can best tell the other side of the story are still suffering the consequences from that day. Four people, all Donald Trump supporters, died. Some attendees are still in prison, some have been getting visits from the FBI, others have had their reputations smeared for attending. Rick Saccone and his wife rode a bus filled with Pennsylvanians to Washington in support of Trump. He says it was mostly senior citizens peacefully demonstrating. "People were dancing, singing, and one man dressed like Uncle Sam was walking on stilts in the crowd," Saccone told The Epoch Times. They had no knowledge of violence until they got back on the bus toward home. Saccone of Allegany County is a former Pennsylvania state legislator, retired Air Force officer, and current candidate for Pennsylvania lieutenant governor. His attendance in Washington on Jan. 6 is low-hanging fruit for media outlets wishing to impose an unflattering lens on his campaign, but he is not bothered by their efforts. "You have the media twisting this story. It is a deflection of what happened in Portland and Rick Saccone (Courtesy Rick Saccone) . .. �.. w. Seattle. That is the definition of an insurrection, and nothing has happened with that," he said of rioters who attacked federal buildings in those cities and tried to set them on fire. Since Jan. 6, there have been investigations, calls for the public to turn in attendees, home visits from the FBI, arrests, and long prison stays. https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 2/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story BREAKING US irtfL Lion at Warty Four-Decade High: Here's What is Got ling Most Fxponsive �.va.tiit.iy, vu�.�.vaa�. vu.iu.

First Amendment rights are being challenged by a small minority of left-wing media that are monopolizing the narrative, which is why we have to speak out and correct the narrative."

The ones who got violent, he says, were not true Trump supporters. Political Prisoner Ned Lang of Sullivan County, New York, has not seen his son Jake Lang, 26, since Christmas, 2020. Jake has been in prison since Jan. 13, 2021, charged with assaulting a police officer on Jan. 6. https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 3/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative(Depends on Who Tells the Story BREAKING USon aq Nearly Four-Decade S Here's F.at is GettingsExpensive Jake Lang(Courtesy Ned Lang) When Ned first heard the charges, he was so disappointed that he refused to speak to his son. He didn't raise him that way and figured, you do the crime, you do the time. But Jake begged his dad to hear his story. "He said, `Please, dad, just look at the videos. I saved this man's life. I was there when Roseanne Boyland died. The police attacked us. We weren't doing anything wrong. They attacked us for no reason," Ned relayed to The Epoch Times. It is difficult to discern what is happening in the videos which can be seen online at j6truth.org. https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 4/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story BREAKING US inflation 3t Nearly i OU ..D c ade High: Here's What is Getting Most Expensive It is clear that Boyland, 34, was on the ground. In media reports, Capitol Police say she was being trampled, police went into the crowd to save her and were attacked by protesters. Protesters say she was beaten by police with a baton and they were trying to stop police. Ultimately, law enforcement dragged her into the Capitol building and she died. Her death was blamed on a drug overdose but her family has publicly questioned the cause. Jake was among those who intervened. After the rally, he went home to Orange County, New York, where, on the evening of Jan. 13, around 15 federal agents broke in his door and arrested him. "My son has not had a haircut, no shave, in a year," Ned said. He is Jewish and has not been allowed to go to synagogue. Ned saw his son during a September court bail hearing. He described his son's condition as thin with a scraggy beard that touches his chest, and hair down below his collar. Jake has not been offered bail yet. He has been offered a deal that includes 10 years in prison. "We're not doing that," Ned said. "You have all these folks (in Portland, Seattle and the summer riots in Washington D.C.) that were actually attacking cops, trying to burn down federal buildings, and all the horrible things that they were doing. And my son and the rest of the J6 patriots are being harshly persecuted by the same folks that are letting all these other folks just walk after doing the same type of crimes, or worse." "My son was in 202 days of solitary confinement," Ned said. "The water in solitary was so dirty—so rusty—that he had to strain the water with a sock in order to be able to drink it or use it at all. It was pure brown and full of dust. He was in total isolation. Just before the rally this summer, the whole patriot unit was locked in the cells for 24/7 for two weeks." https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 5/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story BREAKING US inflation at Nearly Four-Decade High: Here's tNn< : i> Getting Most Expensive L.Vl LLLLL 4LLS%.11l%.

He is proud of Jake for standing up and enduring this pain, with the knowledge that, one day, they will be able to tell the true story what happened on Jan. 6. "I don't care what side of politics you are on. It is not OK for any government to simply pick you up off the street with whatever charges they want to put against you, and purposely not give you bail," Ned said. "Right now, there's bail reform going on throughout the whole United States and these people are being politically persecuted because they're Trump supporters and that's not OK. Today, it's our sons and daughters. Tomorrow when you have a different government with a different political philosophy, it could be your sons and daughters." "As Putin said so famously, `For the first time ever, America has political prisoners.' America no longer has a high ground to justify punishing another country because of political persecution of their citizens, as America now is doing the same thing," he said. No Insurrection After the 2020 election, Guy and Nicole Reffitt of Collin County, Texas mulled over what to do to make their voices heard. "Not just in regard to 'Stop the Steal' but stop stealing our democracy," Nicole told The Epoch Times. "We made the decision to go to D.C., because we felt like it was a numbers game—that we had to show up in numbers. It is our duty as Americans, when we see an issue that is plaguing our democracy, to show up. To be idle will kill our country. And we just felt that it was time. If it wasn't us, who is it going to be?" But Nicole had to work, so Guy, her husband of 21 years, drove from Texas to the Jan. 6 rally without her. As usual, Guy 49, brought his guns, which he typically carries everywhere. Nicole says he is well versed in the rules. While in Washington, his guns were left secured in his vehicle at the hotel parking lot with the ammunition and guns stored separately. https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 6/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story BREAKING .

But a family member started political conversations with Guy and secretly recorded him, and then shared the recordings with the FBI, Nicole said.

This got him charged with obstruction of justice—hindering communication through physical force or threat of physical force, court papers show. He was also charged with transporting firearms with intent to unlawfully use the firearms. "Between the hours of 5 and 6 a.m. on the morning of Jan. 16, the FBI raided our home with flashbangs and a counterterrorism unit," Nicole said. "They removed me and my teenage daughter and two of her friends and put us behind the battering ram truck. They then took Guy and other than one brief moment at a court hearing when he was still in Dallas, that was the last time I saw my husband. It has been 350 days since I've seen him. He's been denied bail every time for being a danger to the community. Guy has no prior criminal charges against him ever." Guy works in the Texas energy sector and Nicole is in retail. He was the main breadwinner. Without his paycheck, they couldn't keep his truck. At the end of December, the family had just $134 and Nicole didn't know how she was going to make the January rent. She and her daughter, 24, have been working as many hours as possible to make ends meet. Since Christmas Day, Guy and others being held in connection with Jan. 6 have been locked in their cells for 22 hours a day, Nicole said. He went for 11 months without a haircut or shave, from January to December, but one day last month they took him out of his cell and cut his hair. https://www.theepochtimes.com/jan-6-narrative-depends-on-who-tells-the-story_4192898.html?utm_campaign=socialshare_email 7/9 1/12/22,9:54 AM Jan.6 Narrative Depends on Who Tells the Story r BREAKING US inflation tion at.

This followed a report by The Seattle Times that three state House Republicans used taxpayer money to attend an election conspiracy conference hosted by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. In an Associated Press legislative preview forum Thursday,Inslee was immediately asked if making such speech illegal u would be constitutional. '`'"I believe it will be constitutional because we understand that this speech is the type of speech that will promote violence,"Inslee said. Two Republican legislative offices contacted by KIRO 7 replied that lawmakers can't comment on a bill they haven't read. Inslee's announcement comes as legislators prepare for a second,mostly virtual session because of COVID. They'll decide what to do with nearly$900 million in extra revenue for the current budget cycle,thanks to a rebounding economy and federal pandemic relief. "Tax relief is a big deal,property tax in particular,"said Sen.John Braun,the Republican leader in the Senate. Republican leaders said it's time to move away from gas and road taxes to fund transportation. Democrats propose eliminating tolls on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and expanding the working families tax credit. "What people need is help with their housing costs and food and things like that,"said Democratic Rep.Laurie Jinkins, the Speaker of the House. Democrats propose an 18-month hold on the controversial long-term care tax,known as WA Cares,to make changes. "Why don't we get rid of it and replace it with something that's a partnership with the private sector?"said Rep.J.T. Wilcox,House Republican leader.

I am unsure if I can be live on Zoom on Monday given my schedule. As we enter 2022, I wanted to get an update from you about the status of the payment to the County by Garth Mann of the Statesman group (involved in the development of Pleasant Harbor at Black Point) of $191,379.00 that has been unpaid since 2019 (though billed by the County in June of 2020 for some odd reason). As a small business owner in this county I cannot imagine the county waiting for years to get paid by me for hundreds of thousands of dollars of work that the County would have done for me. I know I'm expected to pay county taxes, business licenses etc. in a timely manner. I don't understand why they are not treated in a similar manner. Can you explain where the County is on this issue and when we can expect to see this bill get paid? The Statesman Group web site no longer lists Black Point as a property project. Perhaps they have decided to not move forward with it? If I don't make it in to the live Zoom call I'll watch it on the replay later. Thanks.

CRAB said goodbye to longtime staff members John Koster, Karen Pendleton, and Rhonda Mayner as they embarked on retirements and new adventures. Between the three of them, John, Karen, and Rhonda dedicated over 55 years of service to CRAB. Their commitment to the organization cannot be understated, and their impact will forever be felt. While goodbyes are never easy, these farewells also meant opportunities for new faces to join the CRAB family, as we welcomed IT Systems Administrator Angela Rice, Executive Assistant Jason Bergquist, and IT Director Tommy Weed. I'm a new face as well, having assumed the role of Executive Director on June 1 , 2021 . My first few months at CRAB were spent listening and learning. I've had opportunities to travel around the state where I have met with our various partners and spent many hours in briefings and tutorials on everything "CRAB." My decision to pursue the Executive Director role has only been reinforced through these experiences. CRAB is a special place. We have a staff who embody the definition of public servant, dedicating their time and energy to ensure counties receive the support and services they need to be successful. And it shows. Our administrative overhead is consistently under 4%, we get resources out the door quickly, and we consistently strive to be responsive and respectful to county needs. We are grateful to the Legislature for their support, and we remain committed to continuing our legacy of exceptional work. As we move into 2022 my goals are to build upon this excellence. We will be embarking on a strategic planning process that will help set the direction for the agency for the next several years. This process will help inform our 2023- 2025 budget submittal, provide an opportunity to build upon best practices, and allow us to consider incorporating new goals and strategies for the agency as we move into the future. As always, CRAB is ready to respond to any legislative actions directed our way, and we are eager to work with policy makers to ensure that CRAB is able to continue to offer counties and all Washingtonians the superb services it has carried out for the past 56 years.

The administration of one revolving loan program: The Emergency Loan Program (ELP); > The maintenance of the county road log as well as the computations and updates to the distribution of the counties' share of the motor vehicle fuel tax; 1 , The management of reports and other information necessary for recommendations related to the Annual Certificate of Good Practice for each county; The guidance and research on statutory and regulatory issues affecting county road and public works departments; 4 The comprehensive and in-depth training of county commissioners and councilmembers, county engineers, and their staffs; The assistance in representation of county engineers' interests on a variety of state-level committees and task forces; =» The design and traffic engineering assistance to counties, as requested, including consultant selection assistance; The liaison services on behalf of county engineers with various state agencies, especially the State Auditor's Office and Local Programs division of WSDOT. Ensuring compliance by Washington's county road departments with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations is one of the core functions of CRAB. At the CRABoard's April meeting, the Board approved the issuance of Certificates of Good Practice to all thirty-nine counties. Only through the tremendous work performed by the counties, strong ethic to do right with the public's trust and funds, and desire to always improve how the public is served by the county road system can this accomplishment be achieved. I would like to thank the county engineers, their tremendous teams, and CRAB staff for their hard work ensuring that all thirty- nine counties receive their certificates of good practice and continue to receive motor vehicle fuel tax, county arterial preservation, and rural arterial program funds. 2021 has been a year of challenges to one of the core duties of the Engineering Services Division -Training county legislative authorities and county road staff. With 3 COVID restrictions at the forefront of concern for the health and safety of county and CRAB staff, we were able to successfully transition some training to online rather than in-person. In February 2021, CRAB staff presented a 2 day (2 hours per day) training for county legislative authorities and county staff on the interaction of the legislative authority and the office of the county engineer. Historically, this training would be offered in one afternoon at Olympia with lower than desired attendance. However, by offering the training online we had approximately 75 attendees the first day and approximately 67 attendees the following day. Also, the training was recorded and placed on CRAB's website so that other interested parties could watch the training at their convenience. Due to the success of this online training, CRAB intends to offer this training annually. CRAB was also able to do some in-person training. After numerous failed attempts (ever evolving changes in COVID protocols) to provide county engineer training, we were able to provide two classes in the first two weeks of December. Attendance was great and the conversations lively. One of the key parts of this training is the peer-to-peer interaction. We do not offer this training online for that reason. It was great to see so many county engineers along with county road managers and supervisors get together to learn, absorb, and share experiences to make the training a success. In June of 2021, the Washington State Association of County Engineers held their annual conference at Lake Chelan. It was great to see so many county road professionals and be able to network and assist them with various questions, issues, and input on how to improve county road administration throughout the state. At the conference, CRAB had the honor of recognizing several county staff for their dedication and service to their county. Cody Swan, P.L.S., E.I.T. from Whatcom County was recognized as the Project Manager of the ° �� � Year for his work managing the Birch Bay Drive and Pedestrian Facility project. This $8.8M r p 1r a project restored beach habitat, constructed eco-friendly storm barriers to protect Birch Bay ittrov Drive from ocean storms, added a new 7 ';1• pedestrian pathway along the crest of the beach stabilization, and made road improvements. His strong efforts with public outreach were noted as being a key reason the project was successful with the general public as well as the local citizens and businesses impacted daily by the construction. 4 Tina Nelson, P.E. from Kitsap County was recognized as the Program Manager of the 'I* Year for her work managing Kitsap County's G design and construction annual program. Tina's work through the COVID pandemic was � extraordinary. She was able to not only keep the counties aggressive capital program moving forward, but also address an r emergency culvert failure with the design, ° permitting, and construction of a bridge to zE replace the failed culvert within seven months :Stat .., erk of the failure. For those in this industry, that is a tremendous achievement that most would think impossible to achieve. Susan Eugenis, P.E. from Cowlitz County was recognized as the County Engineer of the Year. Susan's work to keep Cowlitz County Public Works moving forward and delivering a robust capital et program were recognized. This success was while dealing with trying to fill vacancies in a third of her staff - among the vacancies being key positions such as Diking Engineer, Stormwater Engineer, and Assistant County Engineer. Susan was recognized ' ' ' for her excellent communication skills with her Board of County Commissioners, staff, and the public. Her outreach with local schools to promote the civil engineering field, especially to young women, and other volunteer acts were also recognized and commended with the award. Thank you to the Engineering Services team for their efforts in 2021. It has been a year of challenges as we have all had to change the way we do business. I am proud of everyone's efforts to continue to provide a high level of customer service, continue to provide assistance and training through virtual means, and being able to facilitate face-to-face meetings for important issues that could not be handled virtually. I look forward to continuing the momentum from a strong 2021 performance into 2022. 5 6 DESIGN & UAS SYSTEMS y ;- a � "5'� ,� °raz '.,_ � w A critical function of the CRAB mission is to provide Washington State counties with products, services, and technical assistance that enable them to comply with standards of good practice and to operate in an efficient and effective manner. The Design Systems Program has consistently provided Washington county personnel with state-of-the-art engineering road design software including support and training since 1985. This program has enabled county design staff to effectively collect, develop and manipulate the geometric information necessary for site design and construction planning which has contained costs and improved productivity throughout the life of road projects. In addition to improved design and project savings, the savings to counties for user licensing, support, and training in design software by CRAB is hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. Because of CRAB support, our county designers maintain a sophistication and competence which enables multiple forms of analysis of surface models in 3D that allows a more realistic geometric representation of the project area, volumes involved and quantities to be moved, and promotes a better design. In past years, CRAB has offered in-person training classes to county design staff at CRAB's training facility or at their location for an average savings of approximately $1,000 per student. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, CRAB only held one training class this year that provided 140 person-hours of training. Fortunately, during this period, county staff also had access to our Pinnacle Series Learning Management System (LMS). This online portal was introduced in October of 2020 and has continuously provided on-demand training to users. This portal was fully funded by a grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission for a period of three years, costing the counties nothing for this valuable training. The Pinnacle Series LMS is a productivity solution that helps organizations improve learning methods and 40Nolitenhance information sharing. Multiple resources are m combined into a single, concise interface that help users easily overcome everyday challenges they face Pinnacle Series using technology. It allows county staff improved access to training materials and support to optimize their use of technical software and maximize their workplace productivity. In addition to Pinnacle's content for design engineers, CRAB can develop content for systemic safety workflows, custom training for software that CRAB has developed for the counties including GIS-Mo, RAP Online and C.A.R.S. 7 w.

This conference has proved to be invaluable to the counties as an �lji rro �p N i a �+a � ' I " Pl opportunity for training and for networking. kJ Pl�i rr IaUp d�idi Illy These interactions provided the counties a face-to-face opportunity to meet their peers, share ideas and experiences. This ,-' event consistently provides designers, engineers, and surveyors of the 39 counties ROAD DESIGN CONFERENCE of Washington State with in-depth training and support sessions with state-of-the-art engineering design system software. Unfortunately, with the rising number of COVID-19 cases in December of 2020, CRAB decided to forego our March 2021 conference. CRAB felt it was prudent to maintain caution coming out of the winter season to avoid further spread of the virus. CRAB is however, currently in the process of planning the 2022 conference. 9 UAS Program In April of 2021, 110 the Federal Aviation -________ Administration relaxed it rules regarding operations of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), aka drones, over people and moving x vehicles. The changes in . these rules have allowed for data collection over roadways without having to close roads. I September of 2020, CRAB flew several missions with ""` Skagit county along a 1 mile stretch of Francis Rd. to collect topographic data of the roadway. This flight required us to temporarily close the road while the drone flew the mission. This exercise required four county staff, multiple county vehicles and signage to complete the flight. Following the rule change, we are able to accomplish the same mission with road warning signs, one remote pilot, one county staff and one vehicle. In addition to the reduced resources required, the public was not inconvenienced with a temporary road closure. In September of 2021, CRAB flew another mission with Skagit County. This mission consisted of acquiring imagery of a debris pile that had formed at the base of several piers of a county owned bridge on the Skagit River. The purpose of this mission was to quantify the debris pile before the rainy season and compare it with a future flight next spring. The use of a drone in this instance exemplifies the cost savings and safety improvements for survey staff that the county would normally incur to quantify such a project.

Chain Drag Inspection Typically, in order to identify areas of hollow wit ; 0.- sounding delaminated concrete, a chain is dragged across the surface of the concrete. An inspector, who drags the chain, delineates these hollow areas to map out the limits of each delamination for future repairs. This practice is historically considered as the accepted practice for assessing the condition of concrete bridge decks without asphalt overlays. However, there are drawbacks to this traditional means of concrete evaluation. In the application of bridge deck evaluation, chain drag testing requires a lane closure and disruption of normal traffic patterns. Depending on the size of the deck and the number of inspectors performing chain drag, these closures could last for a significant amount of time. Lane closures are expensive and can cause major traffic delays as well as safety concerns for the crews in the work zone. There is also the question of the accuracy and repeatability of chain drag. This type of evaluation can be subjective based on the inspection teams experience. Thermal Bridge Image Overlay aia ^: ®,"multi ,:... a ,latm ,01 -42 nJ, i yid, a . The image above shows one of the first thermal flights.

For sixteen years, Eric has served CRAB in many different roles in the Information ir Services Division. His latest role in the CRAB idoit3/4:-' 773/4:"3/4.1" Information Division was as the Information Services Division Manager (IT Director). In that role, Eric led i; ,, ii1 CRAB and the Information Services Division through cy ','; �r .; changes in infrastructure, applications, implemented new technologies, trained, grew, and developed the , ? current team in the Information Services Division. Eric 3/4 also plays a vital role in developing and implementing existing applications that CRAB and the counties are currently using today. Those applications are CARS, RAP-Online, Mobility, and GIS-Mo. Tommy Weed Tommy Weed joined the CRAB family on September 27 as the new IT Director. Before joining CRAB, Tommy served as the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) IT Director. As the IT Director at WTSC, Tommy helped the agency complete the IT modernization project that prepared the obi r agency's IT infrastructure and environment to ry ii zm ,v 1 ii�prw li be fully agile for any future working conditions. n' Tommy has also worked for the State of " Washington in multiple IT capacities, working for such agencies as the Department of Social and Health Services, the Department of Correction / Correctional Industries, and the Employment Security Department. Tommy holds an M.S. in Organizational Leadership from Southern New Hampshire University and a B.S. in Business in IT Management from Southern New Hampshire University. Who is the Information Services Division? The Information Services (IS) Division at CRAB is a team of Information Technology (IT) professionals dedicated to programs and initiatives at CRAB and in our counties, which protect and improve the public's investment in our transportation infrastructure. 15 Information Services Strategic Goal The goal of CRAB's strategic plan for Information Services is to assist counties in developing uniform and efficient transportation-related IT resources by providing, developing, and supporting a full range of information tools and services for all aspects of transportation-related public works operations. This strategic goal has four objectives. Objective One: Ensure effective use of IT tools through developing or procuring appropriate applications and software and support and training. Objective Two: Maintain a high level of professionalism in the use of IT in county road departments through training and support. Objective Three: Enhance the effectiveness of county personnel in their projects and initiatives through IT consultation. Objective Four: Promote cooperative communication, information exchange, and IT uniformity through conferences, workshops, and website activities. Reaching the Objective Goals Mobility© Replacement CRAB continues the effort to replace its flagship product, Mobility©, with a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) enterprise asset management system. The primary objectives of this project are to add geospatial data to the linear referencing system (LRS) used in Mobility©, add mobile data collection capabilities, and integrate efficiently with information systems outside of CRAB. Visualizing spatial data will become another tool for investigating budgets, funding, and where state and federal dollars are being utilized. It will provide access for all counties to web mapping, mobile mapping applications, and spatial editing for updating and maintaining the County Road Networks and road assets. CRAB is envisioning a future where all counties are able to utilize asset and maintenance management through GIS to make data-driven decisions and better serve the State of Washington and all of its counties. "The application of GIS is limited only by the imagination of those who use it." - Jack Dangermond, Esri. The decision to use COTS instead of the long-practiced in-house development was born from the desire to continue to offer state-of-the-art software applications with minimal increase to the IT budget, to keep pace with the rapidly advancing need of county staff, and to have systems 16 capable of managing the approximately $900 million spent on nearly 40,000 miles of county roads annually. CRAB is continuing the transition from Mobility@ in 64 ' �� 2021 . Over the past three �" years, CRAB developed a sustainable budget, , r worked with vendors to configure the COTS system Work Management _` U3ti9PIdi&tea, tit, rt tatmes to meet county needs, � « i-,i, &tta4 wurk;4wrw developed the migration kt, ., a Unto 0,0 rises 1.0 as etotprnerit routine from Mobility© to fc'r the new system, and a & Data Sa l, g accomplished the • ,$ Err necessary train-the-trainer hia v � �, d UMF,i *�td between the vendor and "' _r "KA s CRAB staff. GIS-Mo Update The GIS-Mo project team has worked diligently to deliver a state-of-the-art county road asset management system for the last three years. The project team has been commended at every step along the way for their dedication, responsiveness, expertise, and collaborative nature. CRAB staff delivered GIS-Mo training to 39 Washington State counties in 2020. In 2021 CRAB Staff continued to deliver the first phase of the GIS-Mo project to all 39 counties. Part of the first phase of delivery is the Soft-Launch of the GIS-Mo application. The Soft Launch provides all 39 counties and their staff access to VUEWorks, allowing counties to manage their assets inside GIS-MO. In the last quarter of 2021, we were successful with a few counties to go to the second part of the first phase delivery, the Full Launch of GIS-Mo. Full Launch has the capability of what's provided in the Soft Launch with the additional functions of adding work orders and reports to the VUEWorks site, which allows the counties to document and view event changes. The Full Launch will enable counties to do audit trails in GIS-Mo. This is a great accomplishment for the IS team and CRAB with the circumstances still imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. GIS-Mo OCIO Oversight Update In October of 2021, we successfully passed the State of Washington Office of Chief Information Officer (OCIO), oversight of the GIS-Mo Project. The OCIO project oversight insured and progressed the project to follow the guidelines of RCW 43.105.245 and RCW 43.105.255. This major accomplishment is a significant success and speaks strongly to the GIS-Mo project moving forward positively in the correct directions. 17 Training As the state of Washington and all of its counties continue to move forward from the COVID-19 pandemic, CRAB has continued evolving on how we deliver training and support. CRAB's preference has always been face-to- face interaction, which isn't possible in our current operational environment. CRAB quickly adapted by procuring the remote meeting platform Zoom in 2020 and later procured the state M365 G5 licenses that provide Microsoft Teams as an additional video conferencing platform. In 2020 CRAB staff quickly reconfigured the training curriculum to fit the current operational environment. In 2021 progress to further develop our training catalog to support online and face-to-face learning is continuously developing. The goal is to support the flexibility to provide training to our customers either remotely or in person. We saw the quick response in reconfiguring the training curriculum last year. CRAB successfully trained all 39 counties in the new GIS-Mo platform before rollout in 2021. We are taking the same approach on future GIS-Mo training for Soft and Full Launches into 2022. Full Launch training with some counties has begun in the fourth quarter of 2021. Mike Clark, Road System Inventory Manager, has started the scheduling process with each county to train remotely. Learning Management Systems (LMS) Brian Bailey, CRAB Design Systems and UAS Programs Manager, implemented the Learning Management System (LMS) last year in 2020. In 2021 we continued to add to the LMS learning catalog to allow CRAB to be more flexible in its learning environment provided to our customers in the counties. It will maintain the trainee's skills gained in their training or reinforce skills learned in a classroom environment, virtually or in person. Register for Training on the CRAB website As part of the continuous improvement and updates of our CRAB website, we upgraded our website to register for upcoming CRAB engineer training.

CRAB completed the move to the WaTech Share Tenant. This move allowed CRAB IT to be part of the rest of the state agencies (State Government Network) IT domain and start taking advantage that strengthens CRAB IT infrastructure such as Security. M365 As the CRAB IT infrastructure was moved to the State Government Network, CRAB also moved all Microsoft applications to Microsoft M365 G5. With the move to Microsoft M365 G5, CRAB staff is given applications that are entirely cloud base and better security of CRAB data. M365 G5 provides added security support, software licensing of Microsoft Products, training on Microsoft products, and better flexibility to adapt to the current work environment presented during the pandemic. With the use of TEAMS, CRAB staff can work outside the office to keep the mission of CRAB moving forward. All of this is made possible through contractual agreements made with WaTech and Microsoft for a small agency as CRAB to afford an application that can positively impact how CRAB works day in and day out. Telephony Upgrade One of the perks of being part of the State Government Network and Microsoft 365 is upgrading our telephone systems to be integrated with Microsoft Team. The upgrade converted our office landline phone into Thisa virtual line that works internally to our Microsoft Team application. upgrade was another evolution of adapting to the current work environment under the pandemic. The upgrade will also provide us 65% per line saving for CRAB. Cloud Migration One of CRAB's IT most significant imprwaTechts Cln loud?TO is he cloud migration set mpleting and implementing the cloud migration to the foundation of CRAB IT infrastructure future and provide the flexibility of growth for our internal IT environment and our external facing clients such as those counties personnel who uses GIS-Mo. Other Resource for Training and Support CRAB has several resources for training and support available to Agency IT stakeholders. Formal training is typically offered several times a year at the CRAB offices and remote facilities. CRAB also performs support through email and phone, facilitated by the Agency helpdesk system, CRAB-NET. 20 GRANT PROGRAMS County Arterial Preservation Program (CAPP) and Rural Arterial Program (RAP) The County Road Administration Board managed the County Arterial Preservation Program, and the Rural Arterial Program in 2020, helping Washington State counties maintain and improve the conditions of their arterial roads. The counties used $38.2 Million of these program funds for road, bridge, and drainage improvements where they were most needed. CAPP funds are distributed directly to counties each month after fuel tax revenue is deposited, allowing them to give continuous attention to their ongoing pavement preservation needs. RAP funds, however, are awarded to specific projects based on competitive rating criteria within each of the five RAP regions. RAP funding requires significant program and budgeting management by CRAB as it oversees project application, priority ranking, funding allocation and spending of Rural Arterial Trust Account (RATA) funds over a two- year biennial cycle. County Arterial Preservation Program -CAPP Washington state counties used $15.7 Million in County Arterial Preservation Account (CAPA) funds, Motor Vehicle Account (MVA) funds, and Transportation Partnership Account (TPA) funds in 2020 to do pavement preservation work. This amount was approximately 25% of the overall statewide cost borne by the counties to do all pavement preservation that was needed. As CAPA funds can only be applied on paved arterial roads, the counties regularly monitor their surface/structural condition to determine which roads have the greatest needs. As the chart below demonstrates, 80% of the CAPP, MVA, and TPA funds spent in 2020 were applied to county Freight and Goods routes. Making sure the surfaces of truck routes are repaired regularly, prevents major failures that would be much more expensive to repair later. CAPA Plus MVA$Spent on Freight and Freight and Goods Routes Tonnage Goods in 2020 S1,000,0005 Designations: T-2: 4 million to 10 million tons per year T4: $2.6 M T-3: 300,000 to 4 million tons per year T3: $6.6 M T-4: 100,000 to 300,000 tons per year � 'au,, ' r���� ���, s: T-5: at least 20,000 tons in 60 days and less than 100,000 tons per year T2: $1.3 M Non-F&G: $3.1 M Rural Arterial Program - RAP $12.5 M Spent on Some county arterial roads suffer under Freight and Goods Roads in 2020 aggressive types of failure due to heavy trucks and increased traffic volumes when there is local growth in industry and population. These roads may require a more comprehensive approach to improvement than pavement preservation, especially when they also have width, alignment, and safety problems. Fortunately, the Rural Arterial Program provides funding to help counties address these same width, alignment, safety, and structural deficiencies (RAP - RCW 36.79.080). The counties used $22.5 million of these funds in 2020 (see table C) to improve haul and traffic capacity, and safety. 21 RURAL ARTERIAL PROGRAM EXPENDITURES BY COUNTY AND LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT IN 2020 RATA S'S RATA S'S COUNTY LEG DIST RECEIVED COUNTY LEG DIST RECEIVED Adams 9 21,530 Lincoln 7 - Asotin 9 79,736 Lincoln 13 842,425 Benton 8 13,502 Mason 36 42,030 Benton 16 - Okanogan 7 631,996 Chelan 12 2,466,221 Okanogan 12 2,19558-5685,559 Clallam 24 97,158 Pacific 19 31,821 Clark 18 1,777,005 Pend Oreille 7 580,628 Clark 20 89,455 Pierce 2 185,197 Columbia 16 709,590 Pierce 26 174,616, Cowlitz 19 580,675 Pierce 31 29 675 , Cowlitz 20 40,607 San Juan 40 29 065 Douglas 12 1,530,240 Skagit 10 Ferry 7 293,247 Skagit 39 Franklin 9 10,738 Skagit 40 35,530 Franklin 16 11,960 Ska mania 14 - Garfield 9 1,336,533 Snohomish 39 437,158 Grant 13 - Spokane 4 , Grays Harbor 19 585,359 Spokane 7 12 9 , so Grays Harbor 24 - Stevens 7 4,771 Island 10 (203,501) Thurston 2 27,255 Jefferson 24 473,648 Thurston 35 - King 5 315,350 Wahkiakum 19 - King 45 343,469 Walla Walla 16 35,918 Kitsap 35 139,817 Whatcom 42 1,850,905 Kittitas 13 36,602 Whitman 9 2,172,470 Klickitat 14 1,117,350 Yakima 14 105,420 Lewis 20 535,384 Yakima 15 32,501 22,547,301 22 RURAL ARTERIAL PROGRAM BIENNIUM CYCLE !JANUARY 1 1 0 dd Year .... 6 .• ....December 31:Six Year „,,,, fag ........-..... and Annual construction ............. programs due. .....,.. 5...-October: RAP ***,...., .,..•••••• Proposed Funding 1 7 February 1:Review ..' ,...

With increased truck traffic affecting conditions on the counties 77,764 lane miles of paved and gravel roads, they are competing on limited budgets to maintain current assets. Many are forced to be reactive versus proactive for preventative maintenance. Counties are doing less with less and the long-term effect of this is very concerning. Agencies are trying to deal with impacts from climate change, transitory inflation, Covid, new science, changing workforce, permitting, funding for safety projects, capital projects, bridge repair/replacement, ADA compliance, fish barrier culvert replacement and pavement preservation projects. When faced with all these challenges counties must develop sound management practices to preserve their investments in infrastructure. A Pavement Management System (PMS) collects and monitors information on the current condition of the roads, in addition to determining maintenance priorities. This can be conducted using a variety of new technology analyzing pavement life cycles, to assess overall system performance and costs, and to determine the alternative strategies necessary to prevent significant road deterioration. A key element of a PMS is its ability to provide pavement preservation alternatives based upon a predictive pavement deterioration model. An effective pavement management system depends on reliable, accurate, and complete data. � 4 _ , yam, i¢ a -�� �..�dd I:iu i $'i " ,+fit w '»; aro m#r*gk',, °'( A{ q Y ➢ Photo—Thurston County Public Works(asphalt cold milling process) 49 Pavement condition data is a critical component of a pavement management system. It is this data, collected consistently and over a period, that enables the current network condition, triggering of pavement preservation and rehabilitation treatments and/or strategies, and prediction of future conditions. Pavement condition data is used to model pavement performance, to trigger various actions ranging from maintenance to rehabilitation to reconstruction, to evaluate program effectiveness, and to satisfy many other purposes. Network condition data—combined with inventory, traffic, and cost data—allows a pavement management system to analyze and compare pavement sections to find the most cost-effective and beneficial combination of sections and treatments. While there are many different methodologies used for assessing pavement condition, ranging from manual surveys to fully automated procedures, the need for quality and accurate data remains the same. As the needs and uses of network-level condition data evolve, so has the technology to collect it. In practical terms, pavement preservation boils down to three sound principles: The Right Treatment, at The Right Time, on The Right Road. The best return on Pavement Preservation dollars is a pro-active approach in maintaining structurally sound pavements in good condition. The intent of a pavement preservation treatment is to extend pavement life at a level that is cost effective and maximizes the service life of the roadway asset. The cost of pavement preservation increases exponentially (deferred maintenance) with pavement deterioration. Failure to maintain a roadway network at the optimal time dramatically increases maintenance cost, decreases drivability and, may expose the public to increased risk of higher accident rates. Timing Of Treatments Typical Pavement Life Curve Routine- Preventive-SS Excellent Rehab- Ss Good Rebuild Fair SUS Poor Very Poor 3 6 9 12 Years 50 The "True Value" of Pavement Preservation The most ineffective, costly way of responding to roadway complaints is a "Worst First" policy. If an agency has postponed maintenance, then structural damage is being done to the road and it will require a major rehabilitation to correct. The "Worst First" strategy waits until roads in the system reach a level where pavement preservation is the most expensive technique available. Sadly, "Worst First" is very appealing politically: it reassures the public that they have been heard because the worst roads are being rehabilitated first. However, this costly and ineffective policy will eventually return all your paved roads to gravel roadways. All 39 counties roadway and pavement information is located in their county road log. The road log is updated annually as part of the process. Maintenance of the road log is done using CRAB's new GIS-Mo platform comprised of several software solutions: Esri Roads & Highways, DTS VUEWorks, DTS MobileVUE, and CRAB VisRate. The VUEWorks software has modules in it to help you develop and manage your pavement management asset system. Each county also needs to develop budget and deterioration curve scenarios which help with the "what-if" approach, prioritizing list based on the risk and condition modules and deterioration curves. This should be based on your county needs and expectations of your road network. There are three levels of work on pavements: 1 . Routine maintenance (pothole repair, patching, crack sealing, etc.), done on an as-needed basis 2. Preservation or rehabilitation (installing a new wearing surface, a seal coat or overlay), done on a cyclic basis 3. Reconstruction (remove and replace the pavement and base structure), done when the road has failed or needs widening or realigning VUEWorks has the ability to use both Pavement Surface Condition (PSC) 100-0 scale and Pavement Condition Index (PCI) 100-0 scale rating methods for each paved surface segment. The PSC formula uses the severity and extent recorded for transverse, longitudinal, and alligator cracking as well as patching to calculate one score for each surface condition segment. The PCI formula could use up to 20 distresses for asphalt concrete pavements or Hot Mix Asphalt and up to 19 distress types for Portland Cement Concrete. As PCI is becoming the industry standard, CRAB will be working with the counties to switch from PSC to PCI. There are three phases in the life of a pavement: 1 . PSC above 60 - When the pavement is in good or better condition and does not need preservation work, only routine maintenance. 51 2. PSC from 60 to 40 - When pavement preservation work is needed and is most cost effective. 3. PSC less than 40 - When the pavement is in such poor condition that pavement preservation is no longer cost effective, and reconstruction is needed. Currently, counties perform a visual rating of their paved arterials and collector roads, which must be rated at least once every two years (WAC 136-320); local access roads are rated based on each counties schedule. Rating can be done by county staff (full time or part time) or by an automated pavement rating service. When county staff do the visual rating, they usually drive the roads at low speed and rate the surface distresses. The time needed depends on the rating method and the number of miles rated. Depending on the number of miles rated, it will take anywhere from one to three months. Many of the 39 counties use computerized data collection, entering the data directly into a computer; counties using paper need to enter their data. Once all the data is uploaded, managing it within VUEWorks takes only a few hours at first. The engineering analysis of the proposed preservation program can take as long as needed to develop. VUEWorks collects and organizes pavement condition inspections into surface condition segments. The road number, "from" and "to" mileposts, lanes rated, and rating date, identifies surface condition segments. The severity and extent of up to 12 visible distresses can be recorded for flexible pavement types (8 for rigid pavement types). To assist in pavement condition rating, CRAB developed a software package called VisRate. VisRate can be installed on laptops and used in the field by pavement raters to efficiently record pavement distresses. After pavement raters have finished collecting data, VisRate can upload the data to the VUEWorks database, transforming the information into rating segments. Using the pavement condition rating information stored in VUEWorks, the data can be used to create projects, assess risks, valuation, provide budget forecasting and can better predict pavement performance. Pavement Preservation Options: Within each Pavement Managers "Tool Box" are numerous pavement rehabilitation options. The key is being able to select the correct rehabilitation that will function in the environmental conditions, handle traffic loading, and provide safety to the public, all the while being cost effective. The following is a list of some Pavement Preservation options: 52 Asphalt Overlay - An overlay course consisting of a mix of asphalt cement and a well graded (also called dense graded) aggregate. A well-graded aggregate is uniformly distributed throughout the full range of sieve size and is mixed at a central mix plant and hauled to the laydown machine. Asphalt Concrete Pavement (ACP) - commonly called asphalt, blacktop, or pavement, is a composite material commonly used to surface roads, parking lots, and airports. Bituminous Surface Treatment (BST) - includes various composite layered pavement treatments that may be applied over existing ACP, Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA), or BST roadways, or are used to build up new roadway surfaces. They generally consist of uniformly sized gravel spread over a liquid asphalt layer, which solidifies when it cures. This process creates a thin structure with a very rough surface. Chip seals are the most common form of BST. Slurry seals (also a type of BST) consist of a premixed thin layer spread over the roadway surface. Chip Seal - A surface treatment in which a pavement surface is sprayed with asphalt (generally emulsified) and then immediately covered with aggregate and rolled. Chip seals are used primarily to seal the surface of a pavement with non- load associated cracks and to improve surface friction, although they also are commonly used as a wearing course on low volume roads.

The resultant blend is placed as a base for a subsequent overlay. Emulsified asphalt is especially suited for cold in-place recycling. Although not necessarily required, a softening agent may be used along with the emulsified asphalt. Cold Milling (aka -Mill I Fill)- A process of removing pavement material from the surface of the pavement either to prepare the surface (by removing rutting and surface irregularities) to receive overlays, to restore pavement cross slopes and profile, or even to re-establish the pavement's surface friction characteristics. 4.,,,, ,,,er - .:''' .' `-'4,A 4 ::` .2` i' ir"SZ,4.{ °4 '‘.4.,,''4":'4''‘c-9.

Working cracks are defined as those that experience significant horizontal movements, generally greater than about 2 mm (0.1 in.). Crack sealing has an excellent performance despite its use where chip sealing or dig-outs may have been a better choice. Emulsified Asphalt - An emulsion of asphalt cement and water, which contains a small amount of an emulsifying agent. Emulsified asphalt droplets, which are suspended in water, may be either the anionic (negative charge) or cationic (positive charge) type, depending upon the emulsifying agent. Fog Seal - A fog seal is a light applicat of asphalt emulsion to the surface of an aged (oxidized) pavemention a surfacediluted . Fog sealsslow-setting are low-cost and are used to restore flexibility to an existing HMA pavement surface. They may be able to temporarily postpone the need for a surface treatment or non-structural overlay. A fog seal is designed to coat, protect, and/or rejuvenate the existing asphalt binder. The addition of asphalt will also improve the waterproofing of the surface 55 and reduce its aging susceptibility by lowering permeability to water and air. To achieve this, the fog seal material (emulsion) must fill the voids in the surface of the pavement. Therefore, during its application it must have sufficiently low viscosity to not break from the emulsified state before it penetrates the surface voids of the pavement. This is accomplished by using a slow setting.emulsion that is diluted with water. Emulsions that are not adequately diluted wth water may not properly penetrate the surface voids resulting in excess asphalt on the surface of the pavement after the emulsion breaks, which can result in a slippery surface. The use of a fog seal on top of a chip seal has become the industry standard and is good insurance to protect a new chip seal. The benefits are numerous: • A fog seal puts mare. ore asphalt between the "chips," to hold the rock better, greatly reducing aggregate loss. • Much less sweeping needed over the first winter. • The black color gives better contrast for striping. • The aesthetics of a black street are more acceptable to the Public • It takes away some of the coarseness, slightly smoothing the surface ~ �1$J,jryrv5 gq; yryg �"P` WING NiIt ti'. �.r!'ll�c �.

Photo-Island County Public Works(Chip seal with fog seal) Hot In-Place Recycling (HIPR) - A process which cons'sts of softening the existing asphalt surface with heat, mechanically removing the surface material, mixing the material with a recycling agent, adding (if required) virgin asphalt and aggregate to the material, and then replacing the material back on the pavement. Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) - High quality, thoroughly controlled hot mixture of asphalt cement and well graded, high quality aggregate thoroughly compacted into a uniform dense mass. 56 Microsurfacing - A mixture of polymer modified asphalt emulsion, mineral aggregate, mineral filler, water, and other additives, properly proportioned, mixed and spread on a paved surface. Open-Graded Friction Course (OGFC) - An overlay course consisting of a mix of asphalt cement and open graded (also called uniformly graded) aggregate. An open-graded aggregate consists of particles of predominantly a single size. Pavement Reconstruction - Construction of the equivalent of a new pavement structure which usually involves complete removal and replacement of the existing pavement structure including new and/or recycled materials. Rejuvenating Agent - These products are added to existing aged or oxidized HMA pavements in order to restore flexibility and retard cracking. Rubberized Asphalt Chip Seal - A variation on conventional chip seals in which the asphalt binder is replaced with a blend of ground tire rubber (or latex rubber) and asphalt cement to enhance the elasticity and adhesion characteristics of the binder. Commonly used in conjunction with an overlay to retard reflection cracking. Sand Seal-An application of asphalt material covered with fine aggregate. It may be used to improve the skid resistance of slippery pavements and to seal against air and water intrusion. Sandwich Seal - A surface treatment that consists of application of a large aggregate, followed by a spray of asphalt emulsion that is in turn covered with an application of smaller aggregate. Sandwich seals are used to seal the surface and improve skid resistance. Scrub Seal - Application of a polymer modified asphalt to the pavement surface followed by the broom scrubbing of the asphalt into cracks and voids, then the application of an even coat of sand or small aggregate, and finally a second brooming of the aggregate and asphalt mixture. This seal is then rolled with a pneumatic tire roller. Seal Coat- a final coat of bituminous material applied during construction to a bituminous macadam or concrete for sealing the surface of the pavement. Slurry Seal - A mixture of slow setting emulsified asphalt, well-graded fine aggregate, mineral filler, and water. It is used to fill cracks and seal areas of old pavements, to restore a uniform surface texture, to seal the surface to prevent moisture and air intrusion into the pavement, and to provide skid resistance. 57 I W:4 :4,,,, a` kt. '., t,IV ,,,, ' :,4. :;''''s: : Photos-Skagit g' t County Public Works(Chip seal and wheel path application) Federal Requirements In the immediate future Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements may lead to additional data collection requirements. FHWA requires that IRI (International Roughness Index) be collected annually on roads comprising the NHS system, which typically includes interstates, while the non-NHS routes may still be collected on a 2-year cycle (FHWA 2010) AASHTO R 43. The national standard in the United States for IRI thresholds for all road classifications range from 96 in/mi to 170 in/mi indicating "acceptable" road segments, and IRI less than 95 in/mi are considered to be "good" road segments. MAP-21 created a performance-based and multimodal program, establishing new requirements for setting performance targets for Interstate pavement (and bridges on the National Highway System) condition as part of an Asset Management Plan. While many transportation agencies across the United States collect individual pavement distresses at the network level and then use those to create various individual indices, other agencies collect an overall condition indicator, such as present serviceability rating (PSR), present serviceability index (PSI), pavement condition index (PCI) and Washington State - Pavement Surface Condition (PSC). Friction Testing Several counties are in the process of updating their roadway safety plans, which may include using the FHWA Systemic Safety Project Selection tool. Some data points to reducing runoff the roadway accidents using low-cost countermeasures. 58 In general, the friction of most dry pavements is high; however, the same pavement under wet conditions can present a friction problem. Surface friction data allows agencies to identify potential low friction pavements that, in conjunction with accident history and roadway geometrics are used to minimize wet weather skidding accidents. This will allow county traffic engineers to be both proactive and reactive when developing potential safety projects and assist in assuring the best use of public funds. Washington State Department of Transportation measures surface friction every two years on all state-maintained roads using a friction testing truck and trailer. To conduct friction tests, water is applied to the pavement surface in front of the test wheel on the trailer. A brake is applied to the test wheel and when the wheel locks, the drag and load (horizontal and vertical forces) are measured to derive the amount of surface friction. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) GIS, as used in the context of asset management, are tools designed to integrate data and provides a platform for examining, visualizing, and managing pavement data. The condition survey data elements can be visualized on a map if the data has been located geographically. For example, GIS can be used to plot the collected data on a shape file of the road network to check the accuracy of the segmentation process and the collected latitude and longitude data. If a segment has been missed, a faulty beginning point assigned, or the data otherwise improperly segmented, it is often readily apparent by visualizing the data using the GIS. The ability to examine the data visually is useful in many ways, such as comparing data from each side of a divided highway or comparing radius of curvature with the map display of the location and seeing gaps or overlaps. The County Road Administration Board is transitioning from the legacy Mobility application, and the Linear Reference System (LRS) it manages, with a modern, innovative, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Transportation asset management systems (TAMS) named GIS-Mo. This geospatial emphasis software system will improve the county engineer's data-driven decision-making capabilities. The software used to manage the assets will consist of an Esri Roads & Highway platform and VUEWorks asset management system. The primary objective of GIS- Mo is to improve the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, uniformity, integration, and accessibility of just under 78,000 lane miles of Washington State county roads, and hundreds of thousands of road related assets. 59 Future Technology - Automated Pavement Distress Analysis With advances in new and innovative technology with mobile asset collection, windshield surveys could be replaced with an automated collection of data and images. Automated methods for quantifying tpavemnt wouldet be toess collect pavements ent have shown some interesting results. How g images, batch them on a server, and have it produce accurate pavement distress maps that you can overlay in a GIS? Infrared and lidar are currently being used for pavement management by some agencies, and the technology is here! Most pavement inspections involve intricate processes where pavement expert's rate segments visually, from field visits and at times in the office. This introduces a lot of subjectivity in the rating results and typically culminates in a Road Log showing pavement ratings by segments. w 0 2 kEi, w ax:dFhatk+^ti'i ;b' a V1 "yF..

The tendency is for water to pond in these recessed areas, which weakens the layers, creating delamination and collects debris. A higher frequency of street sweeping is required at these locations as well as applying an asphalt rejuvenator every 3-4 years. 60 The pavement segments that are receiving the rumble strips should be in good condition and the depth should be thick enough to support them. Grinding rumble strips into inadequate pavement has led to premature pavement failure. Installing rumble strips in a Bituminous Surface Treatment road is not recommended unless the BST was applied over an existing HMA or ACP. Recessed shoulder rumble strips Centerline recessed pavement ` :. marker strips In closing, strong communication with decision makers and a long-term commitment is necessary to be successful. Why build what you cannot maintain! Failure to maintain a roadway network at the optimal time dramatically increases maintenance cost, decreases drivability and, may expose the public to increased risk of higher accident rates. The cost of pavement preservation increases exponentially with pavement deterioration. Therefore, the three sound principles for pavement preservation should be followed - The Right Treatment, at The Right Time, on The Right Road. References 1.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. County & City Elected Officials, Good morning. With a significant surge in breakthrough COVID cases affecting our already short-staffed vessel Deck and Engine Room crewing, we will be operating our alternative service schedule this weekend, while trying to maintain four-boat service in the San Juan Islands. This means in addition to Seattle/Bremerton and Port Townsend/Coupeville being on one-boat service and the Fauntleroy/Southworth/Vashon Triangle route on two- boats, we will not be able to add second boats on the Seattle/Bainbridge, Clinton/Mukilteo, or Edmonds/Kingston routes for at least the weekend and likely longer. After hearing from our passengers reliability was a priority, we initiated the alternative service plan in October. Our Operations team, especially Dispatchers,have worked hard every day to add sailings where possible, but with the number of current callouts due to illness, we simply don't have the crews to do so. Should full crews arrive for service on specific vessels, we will put them in service for as long as possible. Our Communications and Customer Service teams will be alerting the public to this weekend's service levels; we appreciate the public's continued patience while we adjust service based on the increase in COVID quarantines due to the omicron variant. Please let me know if you have questions. Best, John John B. Vezina Government Relations Director Washington State Ferries Cell - 206.473.9945 Pronouns: He/Him/His 1 John John B.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, Please see the KPTZ questions listed below for Monday, January 10, 2022 BOCC Update. The first four questions were not addressed during the update on January 3rd. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team A compliment for Dr Berry from a KPTZ listener: I want to thank Dr. Berry for helping our county do the right thing and mandate masking and proof of vaccination in public spaces. Every morning I wake up thinking how lucky I live here because of such good leadership in this difficult time. Questions for Dr Berry: 1. Are cloth masks effective against the Omicron variant? Are surgical masks? Or do we need N95's ? Are there certain brands of surgical masks or N95's you recommend? Also, does the 70% - 75% protection provided by the booster apply to the elderly as well - or do elderly only gain a lower amount of protection from serious illness/hospitalization? 2. After I got vaccinations one and two I was followed by an automated system (that I signed up for). But when I got the booster I couldn't link to the automated system and I don't see how I can provide follow-up information on any after effects from the booster shot. Why is that? 3. I received the two shot Moderna vaccination. Unfortunately, I got Covid (presumably Delta)just prior to receiving my booster shot. Fortunately, I received monoclonal antibody therapy (Regeneron) at Jefferson Healthcare and have recovered with no side effects. My understanding is Regeneron is not effective against the Omicron variant. I also understand that I am not to get a booster shot for 90 days after receiving the monoclonal antibody therapy. If I abide by the 90 days it will be the second half of February before I get a i booster shot. It seems to me the effectiveness of the Moderna vaccination had waned or I would not have contracted Covid to the extent requiring Regeneron. Otherwise, I am in good health and 70 years of age. • What is my level of protection against Omicron? What is my level of protection in general? Is my current level of protection equivalent to a person who has received his vaccination but not the booster? As my level of protection had apparently waned and Regeneron is not effective against the Omicron variant I am concerned that I could easily get Covid again, this time via Omicron. • If my immune system is not effective or only minimally effective against the Omicron variant, is there anything I can do to shorten the 90 day period? I have approximately 60 days left on the 90 day period. • Would I get a booster at the end of the 90 period or do I get the full two shot vaccination? I completed my two shot vaccination at the end of February 2021. 4. My wife and I are both high risk seniors. I have cancer and she has been unable to produce antibodies from either vaccine. We limit our outings to necessary errands, mostly medical appointments, and always wear KN95 masks. Despite this, Jefferson Healthcare's policy is for us to either swap our masks for their surgical masks at the door, or wear theirs over ours, which makes breathing difficult. Additionally, we recently learned that because of this policy, there are people who assume the masks they're asked to wear at JHC are superior to KN95's. Can your office offer guidance to help change this policy? 5. When will Jefferson Country residents be getting free at-home testing kits from the federal government? 6. With the Omicron variant being recognized as much more transmissible, does that change the idea that outdoor activities are safe? I am starting to see hikers on the trails of Fort Worden and Fort Townsend starting to mask up again when passing other hikers. Is this now advised? 7.Now the push seems to test. I have read that the at home, rapid tests, such a Binax are not as effective at catching the omicron variant. I have also heard that you should not test immediately (if you are lucky enough to get your hands on a test), for at least 2 days after you have symptoms or you know you have been exposed because your viral load isn't high enough to have an effective test. I have also read that omicron is not being found so much in nasal secretions but more so in saliva. Can you help sort through this since now the emphasis is on testing, especially if you are fully vaccinated. 8. I have read that the recommendation for mask wearing is that cloth masks are no longer recommended. N95 or KN95 masks are recommended for all unless you double mask with a surgical mask with a cloth mask over it. Is this the current recommendation? 9. I work as a healthcare provider (very few patients per week), and I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I did order a couple of at-home Covid tests,to have on hand, in case of exposure. Now I am wondering how accurate the results will be if I needed to use them. I seem to remember hearing on your update, last week, there can be false negatives with those? Is it better to go in for the test at the health dept if I ever developed symptoms? 10. I work in healthcare, private practice, very part time. I screen for temperature, 02 sat and other Covid symptoms, but I'm not sure how high a temperature to be concerned about. I have read "anything over 99 degrees" and also "anything over 104 degrees, in adults." 2 11. Before Omicron reared its ugly head, we had made vacation reservations for February- direct flights of about 6 hours each way. We're both in our 70's, healthy, vaccinated and boosted. We need to decide by mid- January whether to cancel, if we are to get deposit refunds. What criteria would you recommend we use in deciding whether to cancel our trip? Or would it be smart just to cancel the trip? 12. I have a friend who got the Janssen shot and got a breakthrough infection. Would that breakthrough infection serve as her booster? 13. Is omicron better detected with a throat swab than with a nose swab? I've been seeing murmurings about this online as well, with some conflicting information. Would Dr. Berry mind speaking on this? 14. Our household is boosted and we're wondering with the current Omicron uptick whether it's wise to have un-boosted but vaxxed friends over for dinner? (unmasked/inside). I believe you mentioned at the 1/3/22 update that it's ok to gather with boosted friends inside unmasked. Also, what is your opinion about dining in restaurants right now or going out for a beer? We're assuming that people in PT restaurants are vaccinated, but they may not be boosted. We're trying to weigh the risks. 15. How can we know which KN95 masks are "legitimate"? We have just bought a box of these from CVS pharmacy. The brand is Sausen. It is called a Filtering Facepiece Respirator. They are made in China. KN95 is stamped into the mask. The box has good directions about how to fit it to your face and related information. How do we know these are good? After using a KN95, can we let it air for some period of time and then reuse it? 16. Are the antigen tests reliable for Omicron?Are some brands better than others? Assuming that they are reliable, if I take an antigen test so I can go to someone's house unmasked, how many hours is it good for? Isn't it true that I could have a low level, but increasing, amount of virus in my body, so although I had a negative antigen test, 4 hours later an antigen test would come out positive? Haven't I just exposed all those people to COVID? 17. About the FDA's request for decades of wait time to turn over the preclinical data... I'm not sure I completely followed what you said. It sounded like you said the FDA was going to share the data across 55 years, but it looks to me like that time period was actually 75 years. Also, I don't think it's true that all of the data is already available, like I think you said. It looks like the first 500 pages produced really did contain data that hadn't been publicly available yet. Can you check on that? In a new post (see https://aaronsiri.substack.com/p/the-fda-wants-to-hide-pre-licensure) it looks like post-licensure safety data which definitely has not been publicly disclosed is also not being shared, this time by the CDC, despite them already having the data in a deidentified format. In another post from just earlier today (https://aaronsiri.substack.com/p/instead-of-fdas-requested-500-pages) it looks like the FDA request was rejected, and now they have to produce 55,000 pages a month. I'm not trying to make a big fuss over nothing, but I don't like what I'm reading and it really does seem like a lack of transparency and effort to hide data that I wouldn't expect from the government. Could you speak to this lawsuit/FOIA request in a little more depth and with this new information again on Monday? 3 4 Julie Shannon From: Heidi Eisenhour Sent: Friday, January 7, 2022 1:00 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: County Virtual Assembly I January 10 From: Washington State Association of Counties Sent: Friday, January 7, 2022 12:59:13 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Heidi Eisenhour Subject: County Virtual Assembly I January 10 ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

This year is the second year of the biennium, intended to be supplemental to last year's 105-day session. All of the bills introduced in the previous year that didn't pass are automatically reintroduced this year, so WSAC's policy team will be tracking all of last year's bills as well as the new bills introduced this year. i The session will look much like last year for the next two weeks, with legislative offices closed to the public and hearings held via Zoom and aired on TVW. A limited number of legislators will be allowed on the House and Senate floors at a time, and it remains to be seen how many legislators will work from their Olympia offices or from home. Legislative leadership will reassess COVID conditions every two weeks and make changes to access accordingly. Thus far, the remote nature of the session doesn't seem to be slowing legislators down. As of January 6, House members have pre-filed 275 bills, and Senators are not far behind with 242. That's already over half of what was filed during the entire 105-day session last year. The Governor released his operating, capital, and transportation budget proposals in December, and they will be heard in both the House and Senate next week. While Governor Inslee's budgets add significant new funding to areas like housing and behavioral health, WSAC was disappointed to see that he did not allocate any additional funds to address the expense of the Blake decision, which remains a priority for us. The House and Senate versions won't be released until after the next revenue forecast in mid-February. With a 60-day session, the first policy committee cut-off (the date by which bills must be moved out of the house of origin policy committees) arrives on February 3 —twenty-five days into session. Each committee will have 6 to 8 hearings before then, so committee chairs are not wasting any time in their efforts to hear as much as possible. The upcoming week will feature the budget hearings, hearings on several elections and voting rights bills, broadband, and delaying the start of the state's new long-term care program. The full complement of Legislative Bulletin updates from WSAC's staff will start next week. • ,r `, 114�yn�.;udN Gil it r4?'.,;,",, � ..a„ 'iii' II hi d�ii y 'i fii�n' i'I�i41 `I"i°;`;!�'/i�I�@�( S'�/i116 i1�I Vr3,''✓y��;���"��'��'/o-/,�yhn � P i, ��G'r`'.

The agenda for this first meeting will center on identifying opportunities and challenges in the zoning arena.We will build on previous work of the Housing Solutions Network(HSN)in 2021,including the HSN-hosted Port Townsend City Council candidates forum on housing,in which all the candidates pledged to put zoning changes on the table if elected,and the advocacy work of the Tiny Home Communities HAT which shaped the county's Temporary Housing Facilities Ordinance.We also know that the state legislature is planning to take up discussion of a number of bills to advance missing middle housing.

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 PTStyroCyclersPgmail.com or through their Facebook page.

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 15 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-igoo,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. Hello Commissioners, I've just finished watching this video from the Canadian Covid Care Alliance. It does a really good job of highlighting some of the major problems surrounding the COVID-19 debacle in a fairly easy-to-digest way, though it is sort of long, at 40 minutes. They also have a PDF version of the presentation (which contains links)that you can read through, if you prefer. I would really appreciate it if you took a watch and shared your reactions with me (as an email, in response to public comment at the next meeting, or both). Or, if you'd prefer more of a conversation, let me know and we can try to find a time to talk over the phone. I don't want to exaggerate, but I do feel like this may be one of the most important videos out there about the current situation. Thank you for your time, Sincerely, Kincaid i RECEIVED Dear Commissioners, JAN 1 Q 2022 December 5, 2022 I know you..are aware of the extreme inflation inr F�Oif'pnt ' E'br4t-it e . I would like to buy a lot to put a little place on, but I am retired d 40%. Inflation is also eating me alive. Senior inflation is about 3% hG d figures, and add in food and gas and it is over 10%. In the old days, I could have increased my income with interest from savings, but after 2008 that disappeared, and consequently I have had to eat up my principal. The COLA from my social security goes mostly to medicare increases. Every day I move toward poverty, even potential homelessness. You know how high rents are, if you can find one. This is an emergency situation of increasing inequality and homelessness. Around Clallam County there is, everywhere you look, RVs, sometimes several, parked on raw land. The County says if nobody complains they won't do anything about it. But if they did, where would these folks go but out along the streets, like in Seattle. Clallam County has much poverty. Incomes are not high in most areas of the State. Working people and so many retirees are broke. Clallam County is so aware of this that on their Community Development site they publish, free of charge, plans for a 225 sq. ft. living unit with a shed roof. Immigrants move here by the millions, people keep having babies by the millions. Most will not be higher income workers and professionals, so where are they going to live? I called a Realtor at John L. Scott, regarding a lot at Trails End, an old development near the Hood Canal Bridge. I was told there is a moratorium on building on it, due to its size. I understand the State and many counties insist on discouraging increased suburban and rural density, but costs for lots and houses in urban areas are even higher than further out. Sequim, for example, wants about $25,000 just for the permits. The tents and RVs are coming. They say we have such a hot economy, and look at the extreme shortage of housing, low incomes, poverty. The lot in Trains End I was looking at is supposed to have good perking soil, but they say at 9,100 square feet it is not large enough to build on. This needs to be undone. People need affordable housing, and if they don't get it they'll someday be living along the streets—everywhere. And renting is not a good substitute for ownership, because oldsters need equity to draw from in order to get by on. The pensions are almost all gone. You can't live on social security in a house of apartment. People are slaves to their age, their political party, the stereotypes, their tribe and its rules, laws, and policies, so I know I am wasting my time writing; still I try to change things for the better. So, I ask you to change your lot size requirement for building and to actively encourage, not just tolerate, an increase in developments to an extent that will increase the supply of land and subsequently reduce the building cost to a more affordable level. As for the particular lot I was looking at, at 131 Dickey Rd, I ask the folks at Community Development if I can put in a garage, power and a septic, if it will perk, and use the land with my RV for that purpose for the same 90 days that is allowed in many other counties. With several such sites, one at Ocean Shores and another in Golden Bar Nature Trails, I should be able to get by until I drop dead of old age.

But the CDC has FINALLY admitted the single most significant fact of the pandemic. Yesterday, often terrified CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, blinking like a surprised owl on methamphetamines, told Good Morning America that "the overwhelming number of deaths - over 75% - occurred in people who had at least four co-morbidities. So really these are people who were unwell to begin with." When I heard this, my mouth fell open in dumbfound shock, and I felt just like how Cortez and his men must have felt, staring at the Pacific Ocean for the first time, in a wild surmise, silent upon a peak in Darien. When I predicted yesterday that- if I was right -the Administration would move fast, I didn't quite imagine THIS fast. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I have SO many thoughts. Back in the early summer of 2020, a group of us used public records requests to get ahold of the medical examiners' notes for the first 40 or so reported Covid deaths in Florida. Shortly after that, the state changed the way they organized the death paperwork so that it became impenetrable to public records. So we never got any more. 2 But the first 40! I spent WEEKS, maybe months, throughout the summer, going case by case, explaining in C&C just how sick almost every single Covid fatality was — how sick they were BEFORE they got Covid. My favorite example was the roofer who, according to the ME's notes, was struck by lightning, tell three stories, crushed his vertebrae, cracked his skull, and was taken to the hospital where he died in a coma, never having woken up. But FOR SOME REASON the hospital stopped trying to save his life just long enough to swab him for Covid, thank goodness, and he was included in the first 40 reported Covid deaths in Florida. But while there were a few— a very few— healthy deaths in the mix, the most common profile was a very elderly person with THREE or more of: chronic heart disease, Alzheimer's, high blood pressure/hypertension, diabetes, and physical injuries from recent falls. I wrote about this a LOT during Summer 2020. Later, enterprising journalist Jennifer Cabrera at the Alachua Chronicle would (now infamously) have a chance to inspect the death records in Tallahassee. She found the same pattern and wrote several excellent articles about it (e.g., https://tinyurl.com/3m7wxxe6.). The media tried to cancel her for it. The point is, at that time we thought that exposing the overinflation of deaths was the best way to defeat the Narrative. The media kept hysterically repeating the Big Lie of rapidly escalating mortality with its 24x7 death counter Chyrons and permanent case ticker banners. So we thought we could beat the mandates if only we could get people to realize that the majority of these reported deaths were folks who were DYING ANYWAY, and that they were SO sick it was nearly impossible to tell whether they died from Covid or from their pre-existing condition, so the disease wasn't anywhere near as dangerous as the media was making it out to be. I did accomplish giving hope to a lot of terrified people who couldn't find reliable information anywhere else. But the federal government remained silent, allowing the media to lie about the deaths, tricking gullible Americans into thinking they had a meaningful risk of dying from the virus, and giving pro-mandate paper-shufflers a talking point, the talking point we heard over and over at oral argument last Friday: "but the deaths!" 3 Which has to be the dumbest and most pointless argument of the pandemic. It's always the final retreat of a pro-mandater when they are losing the factual argument. If I say, "the CDC just admitted that, for young people, the risk of myocarditis from the drugs EXCEEDS the risk of all serious complications from Covid-19," then the lockdowners will say, "oh yeah? What about the 800,000 dead? Hmm? What about THEM?" And all of this was supported by the CDC's magical authority. When I would go into court, I would argue, "look right here, Judge, the State of Florida did a study and found that masking counties performed WORSE than non-masking counties, and recommends AGAINST mandates." Then the government would say, "true, your honor, but we aren't following the state. We're following THE CDC." (cue scary "duhn duhn dunnn" music, https://tinyurl.com/2p8um2fc.) The CDC! The gold standard! The shiny scientific castle on the hill! The ONLY source of reliable information on the Covid pandemic! You think I'm exaggerating? Early this year I took the deposition of the University of Florida's premier Covid scientist, Dr. Michael Lauzardo (https://tinyurl.com/2p98kdd5). He admitted that he relies on THE CDC for his information — not his own independent research: Q. What was the most recent COVID-19 study that you reviewed? A. 1 reviewed the science brief by the CDC that was put out that was a summary of research related to COVID-19. He couldn't name a single time his opinion on face masks was different from the CDC's ever-evolving position: Q. •Are you aware of any time that your advice or recommendation about face masks was inconsistent with the CDC's guidance? A. •I can't recall off the top of my head, but I would assume that there probably have been times when my recommendations or discussions were not consistent with what CDC recommended. Q. •But you can't remember any right now? 4 A. .1 cannot remember off the top of my head, no. In fairness, it wasn't safe for Dr. Lauzardo to contradict the CDC. My point is, the media could lie, because the CDC was not contradicting the media's narrative. The narrative that the pandemic was JUST LIKE those (fake!) videos from China showing people dropping in mid-step in the streets, and it was JUST LIKE those (fake!) videos from Italy showing a hospital hallway choked with bloody gurneys covered with soiled, twisted sheets. Just like that. And because the CDC did not contradicting the media narrative, pro-mandate twitter propagandists have been able to yammer like concupiscent seagulls about The deaths! in every response to any reasoned or reasonable argument. Well guess what, suckers! Now the CDC —the gold standard, the castle of science — has finally admitted what we always knew— but the media refused to admit — from the beginning: "the overwhelming number of deaths — over 75% — occurred in people who had at least four co-morbidities." Four co-morbidities is a LOT. A person with four co-morbidities is a person who is not well. Even people who are just regular sick, even with chronic lifestyle diseases, are healthier than THIS group. So. Yesterday in a CNN interview between Jake Tapper and TV-doctor Sanjay Gupta, responding to the new data from New York that about half of hospitalizations AREN'T REALLY Covid patients, Tapper seemed shocked and outraged, saying: > "We're 2 years into this ... if somebody's in the hospital with a broken leg and they also have asymptomatic COVID, that should not be counted as hospitalized with Covid! Clearly." Tapper began the segment saying — as if it were a well-established fact and we'd all been in a coma for the last two years —that "the case numbers aren't really as significant as hospitalizations, because what's important is how sick people are getting." 5 Oh. I see. But ... what about all those breathless reports about rising cases you've been making, Jake, over and over and over and over..? Were THOSE reports insignificant? It's all so complicated! Just believe CNN now, not ten minutes ago! Tapper then played a clip of Director Walensky admitting that "up to 40 percent of the patients who are coming in with COVID are coming in not because they're sick with COVID but because they're coming in with something else." He seemed surprised and appalled, and called the hospital statistics "misleading:" "If 40 percent in some hospitals — if 40 percent of the people who have COVID don't necessarily have problematic COVID, they're there because they got in a car accident. They're there because, you know, they bumped their head and they're being included as: in the hospital with COVID. That number seems kind of misleading." Misleading! Then Gupta eagerly agreed with Tapper, right on message, nodding like a bobblehead doll, helpfully suggesting that "I think there needs to be transparency about that in terms of FOR or WITH COVID." Gupta is an obsequious tool. "Why yes, Jake, that seems obvious. We must have accuracy in these hospital statistics, Jake. What a great point, Jake. We can't have people being misled and frightened by wildly inaccurate hospital statistics, Jake. That would be horrible, Jake. These hospitals should report things right, Jake." We've always been at war with Eurasia. Anyway. I TOLD you the Narrative was dead. Want one more? On Sunday, on CNN's "Reliable Sources" (oh please) potato-headed reporter Brian Stelter condemned — I am not making this up — he condemned DOOMSDAY DOCTORS IN THE MEDIA. Hahahahahaha! Thanks a lot, doc! Time to go under the bus! Hope you like it down there! Thanks for being a useful tool! 6 Stelter said the doomsday doctors in the media were spreading PANIC PORN. I am not making that up, I promise. He soberly announced that "91 percent Democrats and 80 percent of Republicans agree that there is a mental health crisis in the United States" [because of] the MADNESS OF COVID." Madness! Guess who's to blame? Don't blame the media. Blame DOCTORS. Stelter soberly informed the nation that, "we're also potentially seeing and hearing from doomsday doctors who push people toward even more fear, anxiety, and depression." Doctors are pushing people toward fear and anxiety and depression! Somebody needs to do something! About the doctors! In case people weren't quite up to speed with the New Narrative, which how can you blame them, Stelter explained it in little bitty words, simple, easy words that even drooling Cornell administrators can understand: "There's an undue amount of fear being spread, especially in those Twitter threads and Facebook posts and in corners of cable TV where it feels like COVID zero is the only goal. COVID zero, of course, the idea that you can completely eliminate COVID from the environment, which is an impossibility." Undue fear. Undue! Impossible theories of Covid-zero! That's misinformation right there. Misinformation on Twitter, on Facebook. Dangerous misinformation that's causing a mental-health crisis and Covid madness. Misinformation from misinforming DOCTORS. And you know what happens to misinformers. Cancel them! Seriously, think about what this new messaging means. It's clearly a threat. A threat to the doctors. You better get on message if you know what's good for you. Shut up about Covid zero. Quit peddling panic porn. Or else. You can see the New Narrative being published in real time. It's fascinating to watch. It's like watching a caterpillar claw out of the egg sack and become a butterfly in time-lapse photography. First it's CNN, the state-subsidiary news network. Then the rest will follow. You'll see. Watch the bootlicking doctors fall into line like good little soldiers. They know which side of the federal handouts has the black currant jelly on it. It's tempting to say "I told you so." But it's no time to take victory laps, not yet. It's time to TRIPLE DOWN. Spread truth and reason and logic. Spread it far and wide. Use the New Narrative's momentum to shut down the pandemic, for good, if we can. Let's get to work. Have a terrific Tuesday and enjoy the show! See you back here tomorrow.

Repeat booster doses every four months could eventually weaken the immune response and tire out people, according to the European Medicines Agency. Instead, countries should leave more time between booster programs and tie them to the onset of the cold season in each hemisphere, following the blueprint set out by influenza vaccination strategies, the agency said. The advice comes as some countries consider the possibility of offering people second booster shots in a bid to provide further protection against surging omicron infections. Earlier this month Israel became the first nation to start administering a second booster, or fourth shot, to those over 60.The U.K. has said that boosters are providing good levels of protection and there is no need for a second booster shot at the moment, but will review data as it evolves. Boosters"can be done once, or maybe twice, but it's not something that we can think should be repeated constantly," Marco Cavaleri, the EMA head of biological health threats and vaccines strategy, said at a press briefing on Tuesday."We need to think about how we can transition from the current pandemic setting to a more endemic setting." The EU regulator also said at the briefing that oral and intravenous antivirals, such as Paxlovid and Remdesivir, maintain their efficacy against omicron. The agency said that April is the soonest it could approve a new vaccine targeting a specific variant, as the process takes about three to four months. Some of the world's largest vaccine-makers have said they are looking at producing vaccines that could target new variants. (Changes headline and first two sentences to clarify EMA is referring to the immune response not immune system) --With assistance from April Roach. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/coronavi rus/repeat-booster-shots-spur-europe-warning-on-immune-system-risks 1/2 1/12/22,2:07 PM Frequent Boosters Spur Warning on Immune Response(Correct) To contact the reporter on this story: Irina Anghel in London at ianghell@bloomberg.net To contact the editor responsible for this story: Deirdre Hipwell at dhipwell@bloomberg.net © 2022 Bloomberg L.P.All rights reserved.

Hi Kate, The Washington State 2022 legislative session is underway. From time to time, we like to update you on legislation the Coalition supports related to wildlife, recreation, and working lands. Want to support progress like this all year long? Start a monthly gift to the Coalition today and know that you'll be there, month after month, for Washington's great outdoors. i START A MONTHLY GIFT MAKE A ONE-TIME GIFT SB 5504: Extending Discover Pass free days The State Senate is discussing Senate Bill 5504 tomorrow at 1:30 PM. This bill extends current Discover Pass free days from state parks to all state recreation sites and lands. Right now, up to twelve days per calendar year are designated Discover Pass Free Days, meaning users do not need a paid pass to access state parks on those days. But some state-managed lands that require a Discover Pass aren't included in these free days. Finding out which recreation site is owned by which agency can be challenging. It might end up being that extra hurdle that leads a family to stay indoors rather than getting outside on Washington's beloved public lands. The bill would expand these free days to include WDFW and DNR-managed lands as well as State Parks. This would expand opportunities for all Washingtonians--and especially underserved communities--to access public lands. You can learn more about this bill here, and watch the hearing at 1:30 PM PST tomorrow, Thursday, January 13, 2022. Thanks, The WWRC Team Photo: View towards Rattlesnake Mountain, ancestral lands of the 2 Snoqualmie and Coast Salish Peoples. The west trailhead requires a Discover Pass but is not included in free days. Source: PRISM database. Copyright©2022 Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition, All rights reserved.
