Masks will still be required in health care settings such as hospitals, outpatient and dental offices, as well as long term care settings and correctional facilities. In addition, beginning March 1, vaccine verification for large events will no longer be required. Businesses and local governments can still choose to implement vaccination or face mask requirements for workers or customers, and school districts can still choose to have students and teachers wear masks. Federal law still requires face masks in certain settings such as public transportation and school buses. The Full Story COVID-19 trends give leaders confidence to look towards next phase of pandemic response With dropping hospitalization rates, improving vaccination rates, and broad access to masks and tests, Gov. Jay Inslee today announced the state can soon move into a less restrictive phase of the COVID-19 response. The lifting of statewide measures does not prohibit local health jurisdictions from the ability to enact measures in response to COVID-19 activity in their communities. "The virus has changed significantly over the past two years, and so has our ability to fight it. While caution is still needed, we are entering a new phase of the pandemic," Inslee said. Inslee and leaders from the state Department of Health said the combination of dropping COVID-19 hospitalization rates and efficacy of vaccines in preventing severe 2 illness and hospitalization are important indicators that statewide requirements can begin to loosen. "Vaccination remains our most essential protection against severe illness and death from COVID-19. It's also crucial to prevent our hospitals from being overwhelmed again," Inslee said. "If you've been procrastinating, now is the time to join the more than 80% of eligible Washingtonians who have gotten at least one shot." Masks no longer required in most places beginning March 21 Beginning March 21, face masks will no longer be required in most settings, including K-12 schools and childcare facilities. Masks will still be required in health care settings such as hospitals, outpatient and dental offices, as well as long term care settings and correctional facilities. In addition, beginning March 1, vaccine verification for large events will no longer be required. Businesses and local governments can still choose to implement vaccination or face mask requirements for workers or customers, and school districts can still choose to have students and teachers wear masks. Federal law still requires face masks in certain settings such as public transportation and school buses. Guidance for K-12 schools will be updated The week of March 7, DOH will issue updated guidance for K-12 schools to go into effect March 21. The guidance will be released early to help schools prepare for this transition. Schools will still be required to report COVID-19 cases and outbreaks, and cooperate with public health authorities in responding to these consistent with procedures for other communicable diseases. Students and staff with symptoms of COVID-19 will continue to be required to quarantine away from school buildings. Schools must also ensure access to testing for staff and students who have symptoms of or who may have been exposed to COVID- 19. If a student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19, they must remain at home and follow the CDC and DOH isolation protocol. DOH will also shift existing requirements regarding distancing, ventilation, and sanitation so they become recommendations. Until Monday, March 21, the K-12 Schools Requirements 2021-2022 remain in effect. "Our students, educators and school employees, and families have been incredibly resilient as we've navigated the impacts of the pandemic," said Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal. "Our efforts over the past two years have led us to this moment. Nearly all of our school employees are vaccinated, the number of vaccinated students increases each day, and we have one of the most robust COVID- 19 school testing programs in the country. Moving away from a statewide mask mandate to masks being encouraged is a safe next step as we move from pandemic to endemic." Employers must continue adhering to safe workplace protocols 3 COVID-19 remains a recognized workplace hazard. When masks are no longer required in the workplace, employers must continue taking steps s to assess COVID-19 transmission risks to employees and taking steps to minimize those risks. Risks vary depending on the work space and conditions. Possible steps could include promoting vaccination, improving ventilation, offering face masks, encouraging social distancing or installing sneeze guards or barriers. Employers are still required to notify workers of potential exposures when a co-worker has a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19, and, in worksites with 50 or more employees, report outbreaks of 10 or more confirmed cases to the state Department of Labor & Industries. Employers must also allow workers to continue to wear masks if they choose. In 2021, the Legislature passed SSB 5254, which protects a worker's right to wear a face covering and other protective devices during a public health emergency. The governor is amending an existing worker safety and protection emergency order, Proclamation 21-08, to reflect this new state law. Proclamation 21-08 already prohibits employers from taking adverse action against a worker for taking COVID-related health actions, including getting vaccinated and taking time off to get vaccinated or seek treatment, and it will now also protect workers from any adverse action for wearing a face covering while we remain in a state of emergency. "Caution, compassion and kindness is what will allow us to move forward, together" While the transition to the next phase of the pandemic is reason for hope, Inslee emphasized that many families and individuals will continue taking precautions such as wearing face masks at school and work. "People fall all along the spectrum when it comes to feeling safe and ready to be in public spaces," Inslee said. "And here's the hard truth: while we have the tools we need to fight back, COVID-19 is still a danger to many people. I encourage people to continue doing what's necessary to keep themselves, their families, or their workers safe. Caution, compassion and kindness is what will allow us to move forward, together."

ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. I'd like to offer my support for a fireworks ban in Jefferson County. There are so many reasons to do it, versus reasons not to do it. We can express our"patriotism" in countless ways on almost every day of the year. We can also continue to have picnics and barbecues on July 4, wear the stars and stripes and party til the cows come home. But the reasons to end fireworks are compelling: Wildfires, accidental explosions that hurt people, dogs and cats that are terrified of fireworks and explosions, as well as wildlife, every year--these are each and all great reasons to celebrate without fireworks. Climate change has tipped the balance of risking wildfire in the middle of the summer by lighting off fireworks --we can't do it anymore. To me, setting off fireworks is a "freedom" much like carrying guns, etc. It must be weighed against the harmful effects it creates. We have outgrown the need to use fire as a way to celebrate our country's history. It's time to move on and learn new ways to acknowledge the holiday.

Register Now COUNTY NEWS 3 ipartisan Infrastructure Law ui . ebo • e • inar eries With the signing of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in mid-November, President Biden marked a new era of building a better America together. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is historic in its size —the largest ever investments in broadband, rail and transit, clean energy, and water,just to name a few — as well as the breadth of programs and sectors included in the law. Implementing the largest investment in our nation's infrastructure in generations will require deep partnership alongside Members of Congress, Governors, Mayors, Tribal leaders, local officials, and community members. Last month, the White House released a Bipartisan Infrastructure Law guidebook to provide information so you know what to apply for, who to contact, and how to get ready to rebuild. This guidebook is a roadmap to the funding available under the law, as well as an explanatory document that shows direct federal spending at the program level. We will continue to update this resource online at Build.gov. The goal is for you--communities all across America—to take full advantage of the opportunity this new funding presents. To help partners better understand the programs within the guidebook, the White House is launching Infrastructure School, a series of twelve webinars over the coming weeks that will provide an in-depth look into the programs contained within each of the twelve major chapters in the guidebook. • Ports and Waterways: Register Here - Tuesday, February 15 at 4pm — 5pm ET • Airports: Register Here - Thursday, February 17 at 4pm — 5pm ET • Electric Vehicles: Register I tere - Tuesday, February 22 at 4pm — 5pm ET • Public Transportation: Register I Jere - Thursday, February 24 at 4pm — 5pm ET • Rail Road: Register Here - Tuesday, February 28 at 4pm — 5pm ET 4 • Roads, Bridges and Major Projects - Thursday, March 3 at 4pm — 5pm ET • Safety - Tuesday, March 8 at 4pm — 5pm ET • Clean Energy and Power - Thursday, March 10 at 4pm — 5pm ET • Water - Tuesday, March 15 at 4pm — 5pm ET • Resilience - Thursday, March 17 at 4pm — 5pm ET • Environmental Remediation - Tuesday, March 22 at 4pm — 5pm ET • Broadband - Thursday, March 24 at 4pm — 5pm ET Learn More UPCOMING EVENTS FEBRUARY 24 MARCH 8 Process !Matters: Rethinking Public Procurement Series Part 2: Engagement in Polarized Times Services Webinar I 10:00 am I $35 Webinar I 1:00 pm I $35 View More Upcoming Events FOLLOW US 0 facebook ( ) twitter instagram C)I linkedln wsac.orq 5 s This email was sent toUeisenhou/ �yy�ydid | «�.d�� Want to change how you receive these emai|s? !

Scroll down to read the answers Who has the authority to update job descriptions? Generally,creation of positions and deciding job responsibilities is a legislative function.

There is no legal prohibition against shutting water off during the winter months.That said,to shut off water, you'll need to follow precise steps.The best place to start is our Utility Liens and Shut-offs Tool, which walks you through the necessary steps on water shut off. If a mayor in a code city resigns, does the elected mayor pro-tem automatically assume the position of mayor?Does the mayor pro-tem serve for the remaining term? If the office of mayor becomes vacant,the mayor pro-tem may fill in for a short period of time. See RCW pro-tern However, becausemayor the (who is a councilmember)fills in as mayor on a See RCW 35A.12.050 and RCW 42.12.070. there still is a vacancythat must be filled. temporary basis, The council, as governing body, appoints the person to fill the vacancy. The city days has 90 da s from the date the vacancy occurred to fill the vacancy. If the council fails to do so,the county commissioners or council make the appointment or appointments.The county has 90 days(180 days from the date of the vacancy's occurrence)to make an appointment; if it fails to do so, either the county or city or town may petition the governor to make the appointment.Again,see RCW 42.12.070. Aside from the timing constraints,there is no particular process that must be followed to fill a vacancy. There is no requirement,for example,that the vacancy be advertised, or that resumes or applications be solicited,or that interviews be conducted. However, if interviews are conducted,they must be conducted in public at an open meeting.The governing body may review qualifications in a closed executive ?' session, but the appointment itself must be made during an open meeting. Note that local procedures may establish a process for filling vacancies. 2 i ... The person appointed to fill the vacancy continues to serve until a qualified person is elected at the next election at which councilmembers are elected. Can a new commissioner vote to approve minutes for a meeting that they did not attend? Yes,we have concluded that a member of a governing body may vote on approval of minutes for a meeting whether the person was actually present at the meeting or not—unless there is a local rule of procedure that provides otherwise(which is unlikely). Robert's Rules of Order provides: • It should be noted that a member's absence from the meeting for which minutes are being approved does not prevent the member from participating in their correction or approval. Most jurisdictions either use Robert's Rules of Order directly or follow the general principles expressed therein. While it may seem irregular for a person to vote on something of which they have no knowledge,as a practical matter,the members who did not attend the meeting would defer to those who did and vote along with them (whether to approve or to amend the minutes). However, if a new member does not feel comfortable voting to approve minutes for a meeting they did not attend,then that new member may abstain from voting. If you cannot get a majority vote for approval of the meeting minutes, because of abstentions, you could file the minutes with a notation explaining the impossibility of obtaining formal approval due to the abstentions. Is a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee(LTAC)subject to the Open Public Meetings Act(OPMA) and the Public Records Act(PRA)? MRSC has consistently advised that an LTAC is subject to the OPMA even if its role is strictly advisory, because the LTAC is created by statute(RCW 67.28.1817(1)).While the title of these entities includes the word"committee," MRSC believes they are technically subagencies.The provisions of the OPMA apply to"any subagency of a public agency which is created by or pursuant to statute..." See RCW 42.30.020(1)(c). Some cities take a different view, applying the"committee"analysis, but MRSC takes a conservative approach to these types of questions. Even under the"committee"analysis, if an LTAC takes public testimony, RCW 42.30.020(2), or if their recommendations are merely rubber-stamped by the city council,then it would not be"merely advisory" and we think would be fully subject to the OPMA. As a subagency, LTAC records are considered public records under the PRA.They would be under the committee analysis as well.The definition of public record is extremely broad, encompassing essentially all records of the agency, including their subagencies and committees. What is the process for cancelling a public meeting? Below is a blog post that explains the process for either adjourning (i.e., rescheduling)or cancelling a public meeting.While its title is about inclement weather,the focus of the blog is on the procedures for rescheduling or cancelling a public meeting—which are generally applicable.

After a marathon debate on HB 1837, the House finally adjourned at 6:30 am the next morning. The bill seeks to undo the repeal of Initiative 841 (1-841). In 2000, the Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) adopted a set of workplace ergonomics regulations requiring employers to reduce exposure to work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The business community thought these rules went too far and spearheaded the passage of 1-841 in 2003. The initiative repealed the existing regulations and prohibited L&I 1 from regulating such musculoskeletal disorders except as required by the federal government. With the exception of home offices, if passed, HB 1837 would allow L&I to decide whether to adopt new rules. After around 7 hours of debate overnight, the bill passed the House on what might be the closest vote of the session — 50-48. Read more i i i �� r loll.. h" i sill' Ilii. r; �' RESOURCES E$ I IV11.

Time is money, and reducing the time needed to acquire a permit is an opportunity to address one part of the housing availability and affordability problem facing our state. Unfortunately, most of the ideas have been unworkable or unwise. Some have threatened 2 public safety by placing strict time limits on permit review and requiring automatic approvals if the time limits are exceeded. Others have suggested that if an architect or engineer signs a permit application, plans examiners couldn't review them for building code compliance. Read re Enhancements and Resentencing One of the many resentencing bills from last year has been brought back to life. That bill is Rep. Goodman's ESHB 1169. If you remember, this bill eliminates two sentencing enhancements: the sentencing enhancement for certain controlled substances violations committed in protected zones, and the sentencing enhancement for involving a minor in a criminal street gang-related felony. It also eliminates mandatory stacking of firearms and deadly weapons enhancements and, instead, allows the court discretion to order that the enhancements be served consecutively. The restrictions on partial confinement and earned early release for all sentencing enhancements are removed. This includes firearm and weapons enhancements, impaired driving enhancements, and sexual motivation enhancements, for which partial confinement and earned release are expressly prohibited under current law. These changes apply retroactively to any person currently serving an applicable sentence. Read ore What's Stayin' Alive in Public Health? 3 N6 iN INS,M � v3 '. ,n a r " x i-i; * ,,* "n, 1*."'"

State Parks wanted to get rid of the double name (and get rid of the John Wayne name in particular) when they revamped their property groupings five or six years ago and put their distance trails under the official "State Park Trail" designation, rather than just trails in State Parks. There are several State Park Trail designated trails, most all of which involved railroad corridors handled by the State. There probably is no reason that the ODT couldn't have been developed by the State rather than the Counties. The underlying ownership pattern would have been very difficult to deal with regardless of the agency. The PT Railroad was acquired by the railroad in pieces, and in some cases,without any kind of title. Some sections had reversionary clauses. Eash piece had 3 potential interests, the railroad, the adjacent owners, and the heirs of the original owners. In some places it is easier to get title off the rail line rather than on it. Like Eaglemount. I doubt State Parks would have touched these issues if they could avoid it.

TO: Jefferson County Board of Commissioners The Honorable Heidi Eisenhour, Chair The Honorable Greg Brotherton The Honorable Kate Dean via jeffbocc@co.iefferson.wa.us COPY: Mark McCauley, Interim County Administrator mmccauley@co.iefferson.wa.us FROM: Tim Stapleton, Assistant Division Manager Conservation, Recreation and Transactions Division Washington State Department of Natural Resources Dear Commissioners: I'm writing with an offer to brief the Board of Commissioners on a pending grant application by Washington State Department of Natural Resources. We are in the initial phase of scoping out potential willing sellers within our existing site boundary at Dabob Bay Natural Area.While the final Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) grant application deadline is in early May 2022, and while our communications with landowners are ongoing, we would like to start the conferral process soon, beginning with the two property locations shown on the map below. Landowner support for the department's grant application does not imply eventual sale because the department buys only from willing sellers after completion of a third-party, independent appraisal and only with willing-seller/willing-buyer agreement. Each department-managed natural area has a land acquisition boundary established through a public process that identifies the landowners we will work with over time to acquire lands into the conservation landscape.The boundary at Dabob Bay Natural Area was established by the commissioner of public lands on December 22, 2016. The department anticipates submitting a land acquisition grant for Dabob Bay in the Natural Areas Category of Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP). Previously approved WWRP funds are still active at Dabob Bay, and I'd be happy to provide an update on those acquisitions. I hear you've recently been in communication with department leadership regarding the funded Trust Land Transfer project. 1 Please let me know if you have any questions about our WWRP application at this time.We can follow up in writing or I'm happy to attend an online meeting and verbally walk through our grant application process. Also, if we hear back from any additional willing-seller landowners from among the 15 we've reached out to,then I will send you an update. Finally,toward the end of our application process, in late April,the department will send you a notification letter for optional formal comment to RCO and the governor's office, if you so choose. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at:tim.stapleton@dnr.wa.gov.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Elected Officials, Today is Friday, Feb. 18th, one of the first sunny, beautiful mornings after a long, gray Covid winter. At 10:45am I was out listening to the sweet sound of song birds arriving from the south as I was hanging out my laundry and humming along with them, WHEN AN ENTIRE GROUP OF GROWLER JETS, INTENSIFIEDOGETHER, AND APPROACHED LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE. AS THE SOUND FILLED THE ENTIRE ATMOSPHERE AND WORLD WITH SHAKING, DEAFENING ROAR, I DROPPED TO MY KNEES IN THE GRASS AND COVERED MY EARS FROM THE PAIN. THE RAGE AND ANGER THAT FILLED MY BEING AFTER THEY PASSTHAT'ED -- AND THE DEAFENING, SHAKING ROAR WENT ON FORMINUTES OW MANY OF THEM THERE WERE -- THE RAGE AND ANGER POURED THROUGH ME LIKE A TSUNAMI. HOW CAN OUR GOVERNMENT ALLOW THESE DAMAGING, RIPPING, TEARING PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ATTACKS TO BE PERPETRATED ON US, CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES, THE TAXPAYERS WHO SUPPORT THE MILITARY WITH OUR HARD-EARNED MONEY, THE PEOPLE922222 PHONING THE POLICE IS TO NO AVAIL, THOUGH 911 WAS THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE. 1 I PHONED OUR LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH, BECAUSE I AM A NURSE AND THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY. THEY WERE STYMIED. SOMEONE WILL GET BACK TO ME. ANY CHILDREN OUTSIDE FOR A MILE AROUND WILL HAVE HAD THEIR HEARING PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. WE MUST NOT LET THIS GO ON!!!! IT SEEMS THESE PILOTS ENJOY TORTURING US, AND PURPOSELY SAVE THESE LOW-FLYING JOINT-FORMATION ATTACKS -- ON THEIR OWN CITIZENS! -- FOR EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS SUCH AS THE ONE THIS MORNING. WHAT AUTHORITIES ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE PUBLIC HEALTH ENOUGH TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP US???? TO WHOM MAY I REPORT THIS ATTACK -- IT WAS NOTHING OTHER THAN AN ATTACK -- WHO WILL TAKE SOME ACTION TO DEFEND US???

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 listener's questions listed below for Tuesday February 22, 2022 BOCC Update. While there are not as many questions as in week's past there are still complex inquiries as to how to navigate the ever changing pandemic mitigation guidelines and mandates. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Berry: 1. I understand the mask mandates will be removed and I'm a bit concerned because it seems to me there is still a lot of virus in our county. At the beginning of COVID we were told that "my mask protects you and your mask protects me". Now we are being told that masks will no longer be required in many indoor spaces (e.g., grocery stores), but that if people are wanting to be more cautious,they are still allowed to wear masks in those spaces. But if my mask doesn't protect me, then how does this help? 2. I read that lab experiments from Japan are pointing to BA.2 being even more contagious and causing more severe disease. Is real-world data showing the same? Is this something we should be concerned about? 3. How good are the antigen tests at detecting these newest variants? If I have a negative antigen test taken just before an indoor gathering(with all vaxed and boosted folks, but no masks), is that relatively safe? Do I need to take 2 tests a few days apart? 4. For those of us who received boosters last fall (Oct/Nov), are they wearing off? Will we need a new one? 5. If I became infected with Covid I would be interested in treating it with Paxlovid or Molnupiravir. Do we now have enough of these pills for everyone who could benefit from taking them? Please describe the process someone will need to go through to gain access to these treatments. i Will accessing these drugs require us to drive to a distant and unfamiliar pharmacy while sick? 6. I live in a PT HOA that has a large swimming pool and changing room inside a large building. The water is 82- 84 degrees. The air is humid and ventilated according to standard pool recommendations but there is no special filter for small particles such as a virus. Using various safety measures, we re-opened our pool more than a year ago without a known incident of COVID. We currently wear masks while in the building & shower rooms but not in the pool and try to social distance. We also require proof of vaccination but not boosters in our aerobics class. Do you have any recommendations on what mitigation actions we should continue with and those measures that we don't need during this currently changing COVID environment? 2 jeffbocc From: Annette Huenke <amh@olympus.net> Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2022 10:59 PM To: jeffbocc Subject: public comment 2/21 —were Commissioner Dean to invite comment from all of her constituents Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. on the prospect of rescinding mask mandates, here is what I would say — Dear Commissioner Dean: "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." —Leo Tolstoy Over the last 22 months, I and others have provided you with incontrovertible proof of corruption at the highest levels of government and the agencies charged with protecting us, as well as within the criminal pharma corporations creating these products you feel so protected by. Rather than considering the tens of thousands of experts who hold diverging views, or looking at the research yourself, Kate,you continue to rely on your preferred advisors. It's as though public health authorities are rarely wrong or misled by for-profit interests or other motives. You steadfastly refuse to consider the fact — it is a fact —that the overwhelming majority of research, and the best research, demonstrates that the benefits of population-wide masking do not outweigh the many risks. This is particularly true for children. Those of you who will sacrifice their well-being and future for the dubious dream of protecting a hypothetical elder are committing crimes against a generation. They may very well not recover from this wicked psychological operation. As an ode to those clinging to mask theatre, here I modify the English tree expert's observation,from "My Dinner with Andre"— "I think that Nev er4 [western Washington] is the new model for the new concentration camp,where the camp has been built by the inmates themselves, and the inmates are the guards, and they have this pride in this thing that they've built—they've built their own prison—and so they exist in a state of schizophrenia where they are both guards and prisoners.And as a result,they no longer have—having been lobotomized—the capacity to leave the prison they've made or even to see it as a prison." sincerely, Annette Huenke District 1 1 Julie Shannon From: Heidi Eisenhour Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2022 9:01 AM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Help us change the narrative Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged From: Northwest Maritime Center Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2022 8:59:47 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Heidi Eisenhour Subject: Help us change the narrative ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

ALERT:BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. I am writing this to the Jefferson County Commissioners for public testimony at the Remote Hearing 2-28 at 11:45 AM. "Please outlaw all Fireworks in Jefferson County". We live above Lower Oak Bay Park, Port Hadlock. The park is inundated with people from Port Townsend during 4th of July, setting off fireworks even though there is a "No Fireworks Allowed" sign posted. The bad part is the mess that is left behind.The noise level is very traumatic for our cat and for us who have about three nights of interrupted sleep. Since our house is surrounded by trees we also worry about fire danger. Thanks for the opportunity to vent. Grant and Linda Hansen 83 Cleveland Street, Port Hadlock.

Effective September 30, 2021, Governor Inslee's Proclamation 20-23.16, which prohibits water service disconnections due to non-payment, will expire and OWSI may resume disconnections. Disconnection of service for non-payment could have resumed as early as October 1, 2021, but OWSI will not resume charging deposits and reconnect fees until after March 28, 2022. As part of the rate increase of 2021, OWSI identified several services provided that historically were free of charge. As a method to capture the costs of providing these services the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) approved the following ancillary charges. OWSI will resume charging all ancillary charges starting after March 28th 2022 per the schedule below. 2 public safety by placing strict time limits on permit review and requiring automatic approvals if the time limits are exceeded. Others have suggested that if an architect or engineer signs a permit application, plans examiners couldn't review them for building code compliance. Read re Enhancements and Resentencing One of the many resentencing bills from last year has been brought back to life. That bill is Rep. Goodman's ESHB 1169. If you remember, this bill eliminates two sentencing enhancements: the sentencing enhancement for certain controlled substances violations committed in protected zones, and the sentencing enhancement for involving a minor in a criminal street gang-related felony. It also eliminates mandatory stacking of firearms and deadly weapons enhancements and, instead, allows the court discretion to order that the enhancements be served consecutively. The restrictions on partial confinement and earned early release for all sentencing enhancements are removed. This includes firearm and weapons enhancements, impaired driving enhancements, and sexual motivation enhancements, for which partial confinement and earned release are expressly prohibited under current law. These changes apply retroactively to any person currently serving an applicable sentence. Read ore What's Stayin' Alive in Public Health? 3 N6 iN INS,M � v3 '. ,n a r " x i-i; * ,,* "n, 1*."'"

Styrofoam Recycling Available-Mon,Tues, Sat-see schedule below*Updated* 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 •ieces that are white,rigid,clean,and dry,with all tape,labels,paper,cardboard,and packing peanuts removed. Thanks to the Fort Worden PDA,the styrofoam is packed and stored at the Fort Worden Putnam bunker,then delivered to Kent once per month thanks to OlyCap and Northwest Harvest food bank trucks.At the Kent facility,a densifier machine uses heat and pressure to convert the styrofoam into a toothpaste-like consistency that cools into heavy,glassy blocks,which are then sold to manufacturers of products such as picture frames,construction details,and surfboard blanks.The densified product is in high demand because it is less expensive than virgin plastic. Styrofoam is being collected directly at Fort Worden and also at Port Ludlow.Check the schedule below,and/or message them at any time at PTStyroCyclers0gmail.com or through their Facebook page. 2nd Monday of the month,io-noon,Fort Worden Putnam bunker,(near 229 Alexander's Loop/park in the middle of the street and not on the grass or dirt) Tues,Feb 22nd,Mar 22nd,Apr 19th,io-iiam,Bridge Deck,near the Port Ludlow Marina 4th Saturday of the month,io-noon,Fort Worden Putnam bunker,(near 229 Alexander's Loop/park in the middle of the street and not on the grass or dirt) Forest Bathing Walks at Fort Worden -Tuesdays From Olympic Peninsula Mindfulness(new logo!).Walk—Sit—Walk: As you enter the e �P `cathedral'of the parks spaces you can walk comfortably and safely far apart without masks,or �. -�J '�'. as you choose.

Since the winds had largely subsided and the remaining waves were in the i'range,the wave runup appeared to be only about o.i'.With that in mind,this event was a good chance to compare the storm surge forecast to the difference between predicted and observed water levels at the tide gauge.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Good Morning, I wanted to briefly explain a new program in the senate operating budget.$10 million is appropriated to DNR in an account for the sole purpose of Clallam and Jefferson counties to purchase lands and enter them into a timber rotation. This is to make up for the land that was lost, along with jobs and tax revenue,to the Marbled Murrelet. In working on this with Paul Jewell, we left the language vague on purpose as WSAC is going to lead on this program and another in SW Washington. Of course it is unclear if this will be in the final budget but it is off to a good start. Please let me know if you have questions, Thanks, Kevin (45)(a) $20,000,000 of the general fund—state appropriation for 15 fiscal year 2023 is provided solely for the department to purchase 16 state forestland, as described in RCW 79.22.010,to benefit counties 17 who have lost revenue from existing state forestlands encumbered by 18 wildlife species listed as endangered or threatened by the federal 19 endangered species act.The department must transfer the appropriated 20 amount into the natural resources real property replacement account 21 in accordance with RCW 79.17.210 to purchase state forestlands. 22 (b) Of the amounts provided in this subsection: 23 (i) $10,000,000 must be used to purchase state forestland for the 24 benefit of Clallam county and Jefferson county; and 25 (ii)$10,000,000 must be used to purchase state forestland for 26 the benefit of Pacific county, Skamania county, and Wahkiakum county. 27 (c)The purchased forestlands shall be owned and managed by the 28 department as state forestlands and shall be placed in trust for the 29 benefit of the counties. The purchase of these state forestlands is 30 not limited to lands within the geographic bounds of the counties 31 listed in this subsection. 32 (d)The purchase of state forestlands must be made in concurrence 33 with the Washington state association of counties before a 34 transaction is finalized. 35 (e)The department shall work with the Washington state 36 association of counties to determine if any statutory changes are 37 necessary to address issues regarding beneficiary revenue 38 distribution or any other fiscal matters related to state 39 forestlands.The department and the Washington state association of Code Rev/KS:ks 486 S-4753.1/22 1 counties shall report to the legislature on any needed statutory changes by December 31, 2022.2 3 1 jeffbocc From: Stephen Schumacher <solmaker@olympus.net> Sent: Monday, February 21, 2022 2:21 AM To: jeffbocc Cc: Board of Health;Allison Berry Subject: Public comment:Why is the "science" different in WA than in NM and rest of US? Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Jefferson Board of Commissioners, Good to read that"Washington's statewide indoor mask mandate in public places, one of the few left in the country, will be lifted on March 21, including at schools and child care facilities, Gov.Jay Inslee said Thursday, and Clallam and Jefferson counties will follow suit." <https://www.peninsuladailynews.com/news/state-to-lift-indoor-mask-mandate-march- 2i/>https://www.peninsuladailynews.com/news/state-to-lift-indoor-mask-mandate-march-2i/ Only 2 states are left holding on to these mask mandates, now that fellow hold-out"New Mexico's governor announced Thursday that the statewide mask mandate would be lifted immediately." Let me get this straight:the"science"has shown every other state except Hawaii that it's past time to lift its mask mandates, and even extremely-restrictive New Mexico is lifting its mandate immediately... ...but Washington State and Jefferson County will force its residents and children to cool their heels for another full month longer than New Mexico to remove their masks. Is this really based on the "science"? These mask mandates are not without severe physical, psychological, and economic costs. Among other things,the Peninsula Daily News reports, "Many parents have said their children experience mental health crises while wearing a mask,according to national reports." https://www.peninsuladailynews.com/news/regions-health-officer-warns-of-lifting-mask-mandates-too-soon/ Please think of the children. These mask mandates do them no good,and much harm, especially in schools.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Greetings, I am a resident in Port Ludlow writing in support of the proposed fireworks ban for the county. I often hear from my neighbors how they all hold their breath every year around the Fourth,fearing that fireworks will set off a large blaze that could destroy their homes, neighborhoods,and the natural beauty of the area. Such a fire could also imperil lives,especially for the aging and infirm,who may struggle to get to safety in time. Without a fireworks ban,there's no recourse when you observe adults acting irresponsibly with fireworks in high risk areas.And many are using fireworks while under the influence of alcohol which can impair their judgement.Adults often also let teens use fireworks unsupervised. I lived in Portland when a teenager started the massive Eagle Creek fire in the Columbia Gorge with a smoke bomb.The teen was ordered to pay$37 million in damages,which of course will never be paid. Many lost their houses, large forested areas were destroyed, resulting erosion destroyed even more areas, and we all lived with unhealthy levels of smoke for weeks. Individuals can never be fully held to account for the damage they cause in these situations,so a ban is fully warranted when the risk is high.The proposed approach makes complete sense.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hello, a note from Brynn! In late January,the Counties Coastal caucus convened to hear from the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation and learn about the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area draft Management Plan, https://preservewa.orq/ahoy. The slides from the presentation and an Executive Summary of the Management Plan is attached.The public comment period is open and counties are encouraged to review and comment through the link. Counties' attention should be given to chapter seven, the Implementation Plan,which identifies short-and long-range actions and performance goals for the heritage area, as well as guiding principles for implementation.This is a non-regulatory plan and while there does not seem to be anything of concern, it should be reviewed for applicability and feasibility within your jurisdiction.Your parks and recreation divisions may have the best insights. The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation is seeking letters of support to submit with the Plan.The Coastal Caucus will reconvene on February 24th from 3-4 pm to approve comments and/or a letter of support. Please mark your calendars. For Background:The Maritime Washington National Heritage Area (MW-NHA)was officially designated by Congress in 2019 as a nationally significant cultural landscape.The heritage area encompasses 3,000 miles of Washington State's saltwater coastline,from Grays Harbor County to the Canadian border—including 18 federally recognized tribes, 13 counties, 32 incorporated cities, 30 ports, and your counties. Managed by the nonprofit Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, the MW-NHA works to build partnerships and increase collaboration in order to better celebrate, maintain, and share the stories of our state's saltwater shorelines. National Heritage Areas: •Are supported by the National Park Service but are locally managed and entirely non-regulatory. •Focus on facilitating partnerships and aligning goals between multiple jurisdictions, private industries, nonprofits, and other entities to support communities in sharing their unique stories and maintaining resources that matter to them. •Are flexible programs that can support locally identified needs, including historic preservation, economic development, natural resource conservation, recreation, heritage tourism, and education.

Washington State's coastal areas—from the Pacific Ocean into the Salish Sea, stretching across the Strait of Juan de Fuca and throughout Puget Sound—have been defined by their relationship to saltwater, connected by a shared maritime heritage. Since time immemorial, water and maritime culture have shaped this place and its people, contributing greatly to the development of the region and, in more recent centuries, the nation. Today, maritime heritage remains a vibrant part of Washington's communities. The designation of the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area along our state's saltwater shorelines recognizes the importance of Washington's maritime heritage to our local, regional, and national story. WHAT IS THE MARITIME WASHINGTON NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA? National Heritage Areas are designated by Congress as places where natural, cultural' and historic resources combine to form �:,,, g a nationally important L landscape. National Heritage 5c �� Areas build public-private ��.' ' partnerships to better tell �� m� I waq i the stories of these places ; x E, rt and support communities in it maintaining and sharing their ' unique resources. Although supported by the Nationals Park Service, National ,. ff ,y ., Heritage Areas are unique in that they are locally run and completely non-regulatory. + I There is no change in ownership of land, no added ��` rules or regulations, and .E participation is completely , ;4 voluntary. �,i� � ! �, it dii de In 2019, the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area was designated by Congress to help share and preserve our state's unique maritime heritage resources and stories. Its purpose is to support those who celebrate, maintain, and share our water-based experiences, to strengthen partnerships and increase collaboration, and to enhance the way residents and visitors alike think about and experience our maritime heritage. Maritime Washington National Heritage Area Management Plan - DRAFT Maritime Washington includes 3,000 miles of Washington State's saltwater coastline from Grays Harbor County to the Canadian border, extending one- quarter mile inland from the mean high tide line. Its boundaries include the coastal lands of 18 federally recognized Tribes, 13 counties, 32 incorporated cities, and 33 port districts. WHAT IS THE MANAGEMENT PLAN, AND HOW WAS IT CREATED? The Management Plan outlines the goals, strategies, policies, and plans for the future of the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area. It is the "navigation plan," outlining what this new program will look like, what it will do, and how it will do it. The plan will serve as a useful and living document to guide staff, leadership, and partners in working together to launch this new National Heritage Area. The Management Plan includes seven chapters: • Chapter One: Introduction: Provides background on the purpose of Maritime Washington and creation of this Management Plan. • Chapter Two: Grounding: Includes geographic, demographic, and historical overviews of the Maritime Washington region. • Chapter Three: Directional Guidance: Outlines the mission and goals of the heritage area, as well as its key functions and partnership structures. • Chapter Four: Interpretive Plan: Presents a framework for interpreting and sharing the narratives and resources of the area, including themes, key sites, and strategies for sharing and amplifying stories. • Chapter Five: Branding and Marketing Plan: Includes the brand identity of the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area and outlines communication tactics. • Chapter Six: Business Plan: Describes the organizational structures, policies, and strategies for governing, staffing, managing, and funding the heritage area. • Chapter Seven: Implementation Plan: Identifies short- and long-range actions and performance goals for the heritage area, as well as guiding principles for implementation. • Appendices, including this executive summary of this Management Plan, a copy of Maritime Washington's enabling legislation, additional information on key sites, a resource inventory, a detailed overview of the management planning process, tables summarizing implementation actions, an overview of completed projects to date, and letters of support. The plan took shape through a highly collaborative process over the course of Maritime Washington National Heritage Area Management Plan - DRAFT three years. Planning efforts were led by a Steering Committee, representing diverse perspectives and interests from across the region, alongside five working groups, including a Tribal Working Group. Members of the public contributed to this vision through surveys, mapping activities, individual interviews, and 15 public workshops, focus groups, and summits. Now, the community is continuing to refine the course ahead for Maritime Washington by reviewing and providing input on the draft of the Management Plan. WHAT WILL MARITIME WASHINGTON DO? Vision: Maritime Washington envisions a future in which • Maritime partners are stronger through increased organizational sustainability, more funding opportunities, stronger cross-sector and cross-regional relationships, broadened networks for sharing ideas and solutions, and increased support for leaders and practitioners. • Maritime heritage in Washington celebrates and reflects the diverse people, communities, and cultures within it—past, present, and future. • Residents and visitors alike are more connected to Washington's saltwater shores and waterways through interpretation, physical access, and a strong sense of place/identity. Mission: The Maritime Washington National Heritage Area supports a network that strengthens the maritime community and connects people with the stories, experiences, sites, and cultures of our state's saltwater shores and waterways. Key functions: Partner support, external messaging, and advocacy Partnership structure: Collaboration with and amongst partners will be critical to the success of Maritime Washington. All National Heritage Areas are based on the idea of partnership: bringing together a range of Tribes, organizations, businesses, industries, and governments to better protect and share heritage resources and stories. One of the great strengths of Maritime Washington is the incredible quality and quantity of potential partners who contribute to our state's maritime heritage and culture. Maritime Washington will rally these groups to create a robust cross-sector network that strengthens all who participate in it, through networking, knowledge sharing, trainings, resources, and other support for leaders and practitioners. Any organization (private or public, for-profit or nonprofit) or Tribe whose work is aligned with the Maritime Washington mission may choose to become a partner of the Maritime Washington network. Maritime Washington National Heritage Area Management Plan - DRAFT INTERPRETATION Taken together, the combination of compelling narratives, intangible cultural practices, physical resources, and effective storytellers provide those experiencing Maritime Washington with unparalleled opportunities to connect with the stories of this place. To help organize the presentation of these stories, Maritime Washington has developed eight interpretive themes, which will provide the heritage area and its partners with a helpful framework through which to highlight the region's many and diverse maritime stories, sites, and resources. 1. Canoe cultures 5. Securing our shores 2. Voyages of exploration 6. Natural resources and human im- pacts 3. Trade and working water- fronts 7. Communities shaped by water 4. Water highways 8. Water and recreation The key interpretive function of the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area will be to act as an amplifier and supporter of community-based storytellers. Maritime Washington does not aim to duplicate these efforts, nor does it wish to tell any community's stories for them. Instead, the heritage area will strive to elevate the stories being told and opportunities offered by our partners, helping them reach wider audiences. BRANDING AND MARKETING The Maritime Washington brand represents the heritage area as a program, as well as the region as a whole. It reflects: • Our shorelines' diverse personalities, from calming, peaceful, and meditative to restless, MARITIME rugged, and dramatic. WASHINGTON NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA • The vibrant cultures of our saltwater shores, Shaped by Sea&Story which make us unlike all other places. • Our promise to deepen connection between people, organizations, and maritime heritage. For Maritime Washington to best serve those who live, work, and play within the heritage area, our community needs to know who we are, what we do, and what we hope to achieve together. Early communication efforts will focus on existing and potential partners and then grow to include residents and, later, visitors to the area. Maritime Washington National Heritage Area Management Plan - DRAFT BUSINESS STRUCTURE National Heritage Areas are supported by the National Park Service but are managed locally. The local coordinating entity for Maritime Washington is the statewide nonprofit Washington Trust for Historic Preservation. Moving forward, Maritime Washington will be guided by the Washington Trust Board of Directors, a Maritime Washington Advisory Board, and a Maritime Washington Tribal Working Group. The implementation of Maritime Washington programming and operations will be supported by a minimum of two full-time staff. Anticipated expenses Anticipated revenue streams - Administration and - Federal funding via the National Park staffing Service/Heritage Partnership Program - Programming - Washington State - Marketing - Grants from public and private funders - Subgranting - Sponsorship - Partnership - Individual donors - Earned revenue (e.g., events, activities, merchandise) - In-kind match from partners, grantees, and volunteers ppd `a -svp '� • k ro w Image:2017 Wooden Boat Festival, Port Townsend, E.T. Becker Maritime Washington National Heritage Area Management Plan - DRAFT IMPLEMENTATION The Management Plan presents an implementation framework that will guide the heritage area's actions over the next 10 to 15 years. It is organized around five goals, each of which is supported by several strategies (identified as "objectives"), which are in turn broken down into specific implementation actions to be taken by Maritime Washington and its partners.
