Reappropriation The State of Washington operates under a two-year(biennial) budget. Historic County Courthouse Rehabilitation Grant Program dollars must, by law, lapse at the close of each state biennium (June 30 of each odd-numbered year). In the event that a project takes more than two years to complete, DAHP can request a one-time reappropriation of any unspent funds. However, it cannot guarantee that the Legislature will reappropriate unspent funds. DAHP cannot obligate funds from one biennium to another. Grantees must contact grant administrators as soon as they determine that reappropriation may be needed. If it is needed, formal written request for reappropriation must be submitted to program staff at least three months prior to the close of the biennium. Distribution of grant awards to selected counties is contingent upon program funds being allocated in the 2023-25 Capital Budget. Courthouse projects must comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Properties. Rehabilitation as a treatment is defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations,and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. The Standards for Rehabilitation provide more detail on the application of this treatment. The Guidelines for the Treatment of Historic Properties illustrate visually the practical application of all the treatment standards to historic preservation (Rehabilitation guidelines begin on page 85 of the linked pdf). HISTORIC COUNTY COURTHOUSE }� �$ REHABILITATION GRANT PROGRAM GUIDELINES & PROCEDURES 2023 - 2025 BIENNIUM CONTACT INFORMATION: Huy Pham grants®preservewa.org (206)462-2999 WASHINGTON TRUST w FOR HISTORIC DEPT OF ARCHAEOLOGY+ III PRESERVATION HISTORIC PRESERVATION protect fho pasi,Shape the future as HISTORIC COUNTY GRANT PROGRAM GUIDELINES & PROCEDURES COURTHOUSE n ro, REHABILITATION GRANT PROGRAM 2023 — 2025 BIENNIUM RA PROGRAM BACKGROUND In spring of 2005,the Washington State Legislature established the Historic County Courthouse Rehabilitation Grant program.Based on findings from a statewide survey undertaken in 2003,it has been determined that a majority of the state's 39 counties possess courthouses of historic and architectural merit.Additionally,the study identified a significant level of needed capital improvements to these structures.To address this need,the Washington State Legislature has allocated funding in the capital budget for qualified historic courthouse rehabilitation projects.Since the program's establishment,69 grants have been awarded to 26 counties statewide.Grant funds have worked to leverage local funding resulting in over$52 million in total rehabilitation work to selected courthouses,creating an estimated 800+construction jobs around the state. The Department of Archaeology&Historic Preservation is seeking applications from counties interested in receiving funding in the 2023-2025 Biennium to assist with historic county courthouse rehabilitation projects.The Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation administers the program;the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation provides administrative support. The Historic County Courthouse Rehabilitation Grant Program requires counties to provide a match for state funds received.For grant awards in the 2023-2025 Biennium,the amount of the required match will be considered on a sliding scale.At a minimum,counties must match 25%of the total grant award.Only county expenditures made after a grant contract is fully executed are eligible for reimbursement.However,counties may count expenditures on other eligible capital projects made after January 1,2022 as part of the required county match(such expenditures will be reviewed by program administrators to ensure compliance with all program requirements).Expenditures made for the purpose of project planning and for architectural and engineering fees are not eligible for reimbursement,but may be used as a portion of the county match. OVERVIEW Please keep the following points in mind when applying for 2023-2025 funding from the Historic County Courthouse Rehabilitation Grant Program: • Intent:It is the intent of the Steering Committee to recommend grant funding to multiple counties to assist with rehabilitation projects.It is incumbent on applicants to demonstrate the project can be completed in a timely manner and to describe the impact of the project for the local community. • Eligibility:All county courthouses identified as historic by the assessment study completed in June of 2003 are eligible to apply for 2023-2025 grant funds.Several additional courthouses have been identified as eligible for participation in the program as well—consult grant administrators for a list of eligible courthouses.The entire proposed scope of work must comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Properties(see page 4).Counties that have recently implemented capital projects that do not meet these Standards may not be eligible for funding if the work completed constitutes a significant alteration to the historic courthouse. • Project execution:Priority will be given to applicants that clearly demonstrate the ability to complete the proposed project prior to June 30,2025. • Funding cap:At present,there is no cap on the amount of funding a county can receive.Counties that applied for and/or received program funds in previous grant rounds are eligible to submit applications in the 2023-2025 Biennium. CRITERIA Applications will be evaluated on the following criteria: 1. Courthouses listed in the National Register of Historic Places or Washington Heritage Register,or determined eligible for listing in either register. 2. Public visibility of work that addresses the historic character-defining features of a courthouse. 3. Degree of urgency and extent to which inaction would lead to loss of historic fabric and character-defining features. Historic County Courthouse Rehabilitation Grant Program Grant Guidelines&Procedures. Page 1 4. Projects that assist in providing structural and life safety,including improvements to courthouse accessibility and seismic retrofits. 5. Projects that have match in-hand at time of application or grant award. 6. Project feasibility. 7. Percentage of requested state funding applicant intends to match with funding from other allowable sources. Applications for the 2023-2025 Historic County Courthouse Rehabilitation Grant Program must be submitted through the online application form by 11:59pm PDT on Sunday-July 24,2022.The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation will aid in providing county officials and staff with technical assistance in completing application materials and interpreting criteria. DISCLAIMERS 1. In order for counties to be eligible for reimbursement through the grant program,ALL components within a funded scope of work must be in accordance with the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (see page 4). 2. In order to protect the capital investment being made through the grant program,grant recipients must agree to comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards when implementing future capital projects on the courthouse for a period of five(5)years.This term begins once the project receiving grant funds is completed and all reimbursements for that project have been made.To fulfill this obligation,during the five-year term counties must submit all architectural plans and construction drawings to the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation(DAHP)for approval prior to beginning the construction phase for any capital improvements that may affect historic fabric or character-defining features of the courthouse. 3. County courthouses under the jurisdiction of a local preservation/design commission must comply with the local review process prior to project implementation.Contact program administrators to determine if a local review process applies. 4. All work elements included in a grant request must be capital projects.Only work elements that directly address historic, character-defining features are eligible for state grant funds.Expenditures on work elements that address non-historic features/characteristics are not eligible for reimbursement,but may be used toward the county match. 5. County expenditures on work completed to the courthouse prior to the submittal of the application(but after January 1, 2022)may be used as match for a grant request,provided that all work completed is in compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Properties.Program staff must review all previously completed work intended to be used as match prior to submittal of the application. 6. Grant funds will not be used to support general courthouse maintenance needs.Nor can expenditures on general maintenance be used toward the required county match. 7. Courthouse projects in counties defined as Distressed by RCW 43.168.020 will receive extra consideration.Please note this does not guarantee funding for projects in Distressed Counties. 8. Counties receiving grants to complete a project for courthouses that are NOT presently listed in the National Register of Historic Places or the Washington Heritage Register must submit a nomination for such listing to DAHP within one year of the project completion date. Distribution of grant awards to recommended counties is contingent upon program funds being allocated in the 2023-2025 Capital Budget. MATCH REQUIREMENTS For the 2023-2025 Biennium grant process,the required county match is a sliding scale ranging from 25%-100%of the total grant funds being requested.For instance,if the grant request is$100,000,counties are required to match at least 250/0 of this request,or$25,000,for a total project of$125,000.Counties may,however,opt to provide a greater percentage of the required match compared to grant funds requested.Upon reviewing all grant applications,the Courthouse Steering Committee will consider the percentage of match in the evaluation process.Counties providing a higher percentage of match will receive a higher score for that particular program criterion(identified as#7 on the described Courthouse Grant Criteria.) Please note that in-kind contributions may not exceed more than half of the required county contribution.Therefore,at least half(500/o)of the required county match must be provided through a cash contribution.Eligible federal funds may be used toward the required county match.State funds secured through the Department of Commerce for the purpose of increasing building energy efficiency may also be used as match.

Rehabilitation as a treatment is defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair,alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. 1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces and spatial relationships. 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time,place and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties,will not be undertaken. 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive materials, features,finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature,the new feature will match the old in design, color,texture and,where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate,will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 9. New additions,exterior alterations or related new construction will not destroy historic materials,features and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials,features, size, scale and proportion,and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. 10.New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future,the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Commissioner Eisenhour: Happy Earth Day! I am thrilled to report that the Washington State Building Code Council voted 11-3 today to adopt a new statewide commercial and multifamily building energy code that will be the strongest, most climate-friendly in the country by driving the transition to clean electricity for space and water heating. This major win for clean energy coincides with President Joe Biden's Earth Day Seattle visit where he discussed the infrastructure bill and clean energy. The Department of Energy has made heat pumps and energy efficiency measures a key part of its efforts to reduce emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Under Washington's updated energy code that will take effect .=", in July 2023, new commercial buildings — including multifamily A win ors our ealth residential buildings four stories and taller— will be built with ,; e lm;'b , high-efficiency electric heat pumps for water and space: , �, heating. Washington's electricity mix is among the cleanest and '� "`�' most affordable in the count and the new buildin code is projected to cut more than 8 million tons of carbon dioxide by 9w1 `' (, j . 2050, equivalent to the annual emissions of 1.8 million cars. The updated energy code also includes improvements to building envelopes and efficiency that will further save energy — VVAi t G oa udar �a a take Y or in for building users. Over 5,000 residents submitted comments in traarn,10t ,A.11 '''-^} "," , support of the policy, along with hundreds of experts. See the ' i � " full press release for more information. r�4 Many thanks to the nearly 100 local elected officials, mayors and municipalities who signed letters of support and provided testimony in favor of this effort, and to the cities of Seattle, Shoreline and Bellingham, whose early adoption of a similar commercial energy code in their jurisdictions helped blaze the trail for this new statewide standard. i The SBCC now turns its attention to residential buildings, and is considering proposals for updates to the 2021 state residential energy code, with a decision expected late this year. Stay tuned for news about opportunities for local officials and jurisdictions to provide input on this proposed update once they put a draft proposal out for public comment. 2022 legislature recap—continued but uneven progress This decision by the SBCC follows a legislative session with notable progress on climate in some areas — especially a historic $16.7B transportation package, including $5.4B from the Climate Commitment Act toward carbon reduction, multimodal expansion and transportation electrification; progress on clean energy siting and green hydrogen; and new laws to reduce methane emissions from landfills — but disappointing failures in others, particularly on clean buildings, GMA revisions to address climate, and policies to increase housing density near transit.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. I wrote this letter in March and it finally went into the Leader 4/20. Several patients and friends have urged me to make sure that the Health Dept., County Commissioners, City Manager, plus Fish and Wildlife also receive copies and are aware of the current giardia issue. The situation is not improving with regards to health of the deer herds. Dr Robert Rushing suggested that salt licks with birth control might be another option to be explored, by the officials in charge of our health and well-being, through consultation with large animal veterinarians, along with my letter suggestions for trap, neuter, return the bucks. Thanks for your attention to this health concern. Bonnie Masi, Physical Therapist 429 Harrison Street Port Townsend, WA 98368 i Letter to editor for The Leader Newest concern with our deer herds On 2/29/2022, the results of my cat Swirl's lab tests came back showing that he had giardia. I walk Swirl daily with harness and leash in uptown Port Townsend. He likes to nibble grass and his giardia likely came from the local deer herd's saliva on the grass. The symptoms are vomiting and loose stools with diminished appetite and rapid weight loss. I pick up deer droppings from my yard, and it appears the giardia is getting worse and worse each week. There's no mistaking the loose, slightly slimy, greenish blobs that smell very different - much more pungently awful than usual. Giardia is transmitted animal to human and vice versa; it spreads rapidly and easily from the saliva. If one pet tests positive, all in the home need to be treated. The vet's care and treatment work very well; Swirl felt better after about 4 days of treatment. If you suspect your animal may have it, take them to vet right away, as the decline is rapid, especially for smaller animals. I posted about Swirl on NextDoor to bring awareness about giardia here. Responses showed some dogs and people had also contracted giardia. My concern is what can be done for treatment of the ever growing deer herd, now with many ill, to stop the spread. If the trap/neuter/return suggestion had been implemented 20 years ago, when it was first suggested, a treatment protocol for giardia would be easier to manage, with fewer to treat. Someone who was knocked down by the deer last year said the city's plan to cut deer population growth is to strictly enforce the fines for feeding them. That over time, the herd growth should diminish. My thought is that it will only diminish if they ban everyone's gardens, kill the lawns, etc. A much better solution would be to neuter all the bucks, as there seems to be many more does than bucks. Instead of possibly a hundred years (with the fines plan), we could see steady decline in a few years. Maybe the city can consult the veterinarians who deal with cattle and larger animals, and Fish and Wildlife, to see what can be done for the deer herds to stop the giardia. At this point, it can easily become a health hazard (as if we need another one after the past 2 years) and the Health Dept. may also need input. I suspect that many of the fawns soon to be born will have giardia. https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/giardia/general-info.html https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/giardia/prevention-control-pets.html Bonnie Masi jeffbocc From: Lincoln Miller <lincoln@lincolnmillerlaw.com> Sent: Sunday,April 24, 2022 2:57 PM To: Carolyn Gallaway;jeffbocc Cc: Barbara Ehrlichman; Termination Point Properties, LLC (Home) Subject: Ricky Beach Road Vacation -Additional Materials Attachments: StatementLotOwnersRBD.179_000290.pdf ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Commissioners: My name is Jim Moffitt. I am a board member of, and President of the Port Ludlow Village Council. In this email to you, I am acting as a concerned citizen and not on behalf of the PLVC board or the Port Ludlow Community. A recent memo was sent to the board by Allan Kiesler, Chair of the PLVC Roadway Safety Committee. This memo is attached for your review. What is of concern, is not so much the closures for required maintenance, but that lack of a reasonable notice of the actual closure dates. Without this information, JeffCo residents, and those wanting to visit on a tourism basis during these weekend closures of the Hood Canal Bridge (HCB) will be very disruptive to all involved. For our residents and businesses in JeffCo to plan for these disruptions, I request you, our county leaders, reach out to WADOT to have a clear idea when the closures will commence during the summer and fall seasons. Thank for your consideration of my request. Sincerely, Jim Moffitt i SR 104 - Hood Canal Bridge N' - Center Lock Rehabilitation Timeline May 2021 - September 2022 Project status Construction Funding $1.28 million Crews will upgrade and replace key elements of the SR 104. Hood Canal Bridge. The construction bolsters systems that guide the bridge together and keep both halves of the bridge connected. During summer and fall 2022, travelers can expect up to four total weekend closures of the SR 104 Hood Canal Bridge. While not yet scheduled, the weekend closures will extend from 11 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday. Crews will also require a series of night intermittent closures to all travelers. WSDOT will announce all closures when they are scheduled via Hood Canal Bridge email alerts. The work will not affect marine traffic passing through the bridge. Hood Canal Bridge information is also available via push notifications on the WSDOT app. WSDOT will announce all closures when they are scheduled via Hood Canal Bridge email alerts.

I agree that property taxes have been increasing at an alarming rate. It does concern me greatly. I would first note that it isn't the rise in assessments that cause increases alone. Each year districts set their budget for how much they certify to be collected. This is divided by the total assessed value. If values all went up at the same rate, each taxpayer would pay no more than they would have if the values all went down. The levy rates adjust to the change. However,that works with regular levies, but not so well with voter approved measures. As you can see by the attached spreadsheet, your taxes went up by$1,011.61 between 2015 and 2022. Of that,the County had control over $66.92. $580 was due to school increases managed by the State Legislature as a result of the Supreme Court McCleary decision, and by the Port Townsend School District, the latter being voter approved. The annexation of the City into the Fire District (EJFR) is most of a $242.15 increase, again voter approved.The Port of Port Townsend added $108.16, mostly for a voter approved IDD levy. The County doesn't prevent the voters from voting in tax increases. That is an act by the voters themselves. As to the senior citizen program, I fully agree that the$40,000 income limit that is applied to Jefferson County is too low. I tried to get this changed in the last legislative session, but there was resistance to this from other counties. It is based on a county median income rate from a few years ago, and it needs to be reexamined, particularly for our county. It will in 2023 when it is next scheduled to be reviewed. I can say that the Legislature did put into place some added deductions for costs associated with medical expenses, and that is definitely helping with qualifications. However,this program does have a downside. It isn't like a sales tax exemption. The budgeted amount of revenue still has to be collected, so the collection comes from a shift of property taxes to those who don't receive the exemption. I hope this information helps. Please contact me if you have any questions. Jeff Chapman I Jefferson County Assessor P.O.

Styrofoam Recycling- 2nd Mondays&4th Saturdays (PT) &some Tuesdays (Port Ludlow) The Port Townsend StyroCyclers can only accept pieces that are white,rigid,clean,and dry,with all tape,labels,paper,and cardboard removed.They also accept clean and dry packing peanuts of all colors and types(separated from the styrofoam),as well as white styrofoam food trays that are clean and free of stains and writing.Your materials will be inspected at your vehicle,and disqualified materials will be returned to you. Thanks to the Fort Worden PDA,the styrofoam is packed and stored at the Fort Worden Battery 5 Putnam,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.

New IPCC Report Warns Climate Change is Causing Dangerous Disruption in Nature and Affecting Billions of People "Human-induced climate change is causing dangerous and widespread disruption in nature and affecting the lives of billions of people around the world,despite efforts to reduce the risks.People and ecosystems least able to cope are being hardest hit, said scientists in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)report..."notes the press release for the the latest IPCC report,"The Summary for Policymakers of the IPCC Working Group II report,Climate Change 2022:Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability",which was released on 2/27/2022.The press release also notes that"There are options to adapt to a changing climate.This report provides new insights into nature's potential not only to reduce climate risks but also 13 to improve people's lives." The report itself states that"Approximately half of the species assessed globally have shifted polewards or,on land,also to higher elevations." The report also highlights that we need to act now to both reduce emissions and adapt to the changes-"There is a narrowing window of opportunity to shift pathways towards more climate resilient development futures as reflected by the adaptation limits and increasing climate risks,considering the remaining carbon budgets."A shorter summary of the report can be found in this World Resource Institute article.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hi, everyone—there are several funding opportunities underway right now that you should know about,the first of which is highly unusual. Bonus STBG (Rural County/ MPO processes) Washington's statewide obligation authority unexpectedly increased by over$50 million this fiscal year as a result of the new infrastructure bill. This is additional unprogrammed federal funding that must obligate by September 2022 or it will go to another state. Local Programs is looking for projects that can use extra federal funds. Eligibility to receive extra funds is contingent upon the rural county or MPO meeting (or guaranteeing to meet) its FFY 2022 obligation authority (OA) target by September 1. If the county or MPO will not meet its target then this opportunity is not available to anyone in that county or MPO. If it will meet its target then a number of opportunities open up for agencies in that county/MPO: A. Project phases obligating this spring/summer can request 100%federal funding, eliminating the local match requirement and freeing up those funds for other discretionary funding needs.This is applicable to a phase about to obligate even if"toll credits" (the mechanism by which this is done) were not used for previous phases. This is even available for the projects you need to obligate to meet your OA target as long as you are really going to obligate it now. B. Existing projects with federal funds can request additional federal funds to offset cost overruns that are popping up everywhere, or which may be inhibiting your agency from getting a project under contract. C. Federally funded projects obligating this year or currently underway that were not awarded as much as they originally requested may be able to get the rest of the funds they had applied for to "make whole" the original funding package. D. It is even possible that a project on the STBG contingency list that can obligate by August can be funded, but the window to make that happen will close quickly.This is also an option for projects in future STIP years if money is the only thing holding them back from proceeding this year. Note this is "bonus money" and does not come out of future allocations! Also,this cannot be used to expand the scope of a project to add additional elements not included in the original proposal.This is likely a one-time opportunity if you can take advantage of it. There are no hard and fast rules for securing additional funds other than the county/MPO must affirm its ability to meet this year's OA target. Stephanie said that Local Programs will handle each request on a case-by-case basis in an effort to 1 be as flexible and expedient as possible and get as much of this money allocated to local projects before it has to be programmed onto big WSDOT projects. She will do everything in her power to keep this money in Washington State and is willing to work with agencies to find a way to get more federal funding onto their projects.Agencies in Clallam, Jefferson, and Mason Counties should coordinate with their county lead staff for STBG to determine what the obligation situation looks like and whether this presents a viable opportunity.Agencies in Kitsap County should be on the lookout for information from PSRC shortly. We are working to assess whether PRTPO will meet its own OA target for Transportation Alternatives Program funding this year, as this opportunity also applies to TA projects. We will follow up as appropriate with agencies that participated in the 2020 process and still have projects underway. Local Bridge Program Call for Projects Closes this Friday!! The call for projects is underway and will close on April 29th. Jay Drye reported this morning that they've received only one application so far, and they have more money to award than they've ever had before. Because they are so flush, Local Programs is awarding funds as projects are approved.You don't have to wait months to find out if selected, so you can go to ad earlier. Local agencies can bundle projects, and projects not on the NHS can be 100%federally funded. It looks like they will have this level of bridge funding for the next four years.This is a very good time to look at a variety of bridge needs. Zero-emissions Access Program Grant—due May 10 WSDOT has two EV grants on the street right now.The one with greatest potential for individual agencies is the Zero- emissions Access Program (ZAP)grant.This program will fund EV car-share pilot programs, especially in under-served and rural communities. Eligible applicants include cities, counties,transit agencies, ports, and housing authorities. We know of EV charging companies willing to partner with public agencies in developing project concepts and proposals. Please let me know if you need contacts. Funds must be spent by June 30, 2023.This is a new program and will be released again next year, if this is not a good year to apply. WSDOT also hopes to make tribes eligible next year. Safe Streets 4 All (SS4A, a new federal funding program—training opportunity) Following is information on a new federal funding program coming out of the bipartisan infrastructure legislation passed late last year by Congress.Two different webinars are coming up to help educate agencies about the programs in advance of the release. The Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) is a new discretionary grants program under BIL that supports local initiatives to prevent transportation-related death and serious injury on our roadways. The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is offering pre-application informational webinars for the SS4A Grant opportunity. These webinars will be recorded and will serve as a resource for prospective SS4A applicants. 1.

Yet in today's economy, financial 5 systems are increasingly complex, business planning is challenging to navigate, and barriers to achieving financial stability can be daunting. Join the Washington State Microenterprise Association (WSMA) and the Financial Empowerment Network (FEN) on April 27th, 2022 2-3:30 pm, to learn more about providers across the state offering both financial wellness services and small business development services. We will explore how layering both types of support can multiply the positive impact for individuals and communities. Financial empowerment services can include financial education, counseling, or coaching, and work to ensure that communities have access to reliable information and trustworthy tools to help with topics such as dealing with debt and improving credit, budgeting, banking, taxes, starting a business, and homeownership. Small business development programs work with people who want to increase their income by starting their own business, learning to sell their products or services online and manage their cash flow We will hear from a panel of organizations grounded in both financial empowerment and small business development, who will share their journey to offering both types of support and what structures and partnerships have worked well for them along the way. This session will be interactive, and we hope you will leave with resources and new ideas about how you can support your clients in accessing both types of support. This webinar is brought to you by the Washington State Microenterprise Association (WSMA) and the Financial Empowerment Network (FEN) with support from Black Owned Business Excellence, Seattle Credit Union and the Washington State Department of Commerce.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Brent --- any progress --- what is DCD's time line for correctly implementing the MERU Ordinance? --- Bert Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2022 Subject: Re: Draft Request for Proposals (RFP) MERU Count Dear Bert, The county has not budged funds for this project. The County will first find out what contractors/proposers identify as the price that it would cost to complete it. Upon receiving that information, DCD will approach the BoCC to determine next steps. It is different from the code in many ways. Perhaps most significantly, it is a recognition of limited resources and the need to outsource some of the department's responsibilities. As always, I maintain office hours for community members to discuss projects or issues of concern. Please feel free to reach out to schedule a time.

The County will first find out what contractors/proposers identify as the price that it would cost to complete it. Upon receiving that information, DCD will approach the BoCC to determine next steps. It is different from the code in many ways. Perhaps most significantly, it is a recognition of limited resources and the need to outsource some of the department's responsibilities.

OLYMPIA, WA—The Washington State Department of Commerce today announced $17.5 million in funding for 26 projects that will support the development of nearly 2,100 affordable housing units throughout the state. Funds will lower the effective cost of development by about $8,000 for each housing unit. "The communities receiving grant funds have already made affordable housing a priority with local tax levies. This program supports and helps accelerate that work at a time when affordable housing projects throughout the state are facing significant cost increases," said Lisa Brown, state Commerce Director. The Connecting Housing to Infrastructure program (CHIP) awards prioritized projects that include home ownership units as of a community land trust, offering housing that is affordable in perpetuity. The South Sound Family iJ 'et -4 Support Center project in 9:1 ;441PIII le Olympia received funding in the „ first round of CHIP grants awarded in February this year to support its water, sewer and storm water infrastructure. This rendering of the project shows the planned buildings and retention pond. The project, developed by Bellwether Housing, will include 62 affordable housing units and provide services on the city's west side.
