Capital Projects Fund The Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (Capital Projects Fund) will address many challenges laid bare by the pandemic, especially in rural America, Tribal communities, and low- and moderate -income communities, helping to ensure that all communities have access to the high -quality modern infrastructure, including broadband, needed to access critical services. The American Rescue Plan provides $10 billion for payments to eligible governments to carry out critical capital projects that directly enable work, education, and health monitoring, including remote options, in response to the public health emergency. Coronavirus Capital Proiects Fund Frequently Asked Questions as of April 28, 2022 y CRYSTAL ELLERSIE Vice President, Federal Relations 1 C 202.367.6012 0 202.333.2234 601 NEW JERSEY AVE. NW 250 WASHINGTON, D.C., 20001 t " AS OF APRIL 28, 2022 Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund Frequently Asked Questions AS OF APRIL 28, 2022 This document contains answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ) regarding the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (CPF), established by Section 604 of the Social Security Act, as added by Section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. This FAQ document clarifies CPF Guidance for States (defined to include the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), Territories, Freely Associated States, and Tribal Governments (the Guidance), and does not supersede the Guidance except as noted. Terms used in the FAQ but not defined herein have the meaning specified in the Guidance. Treasury will be updating this document periodically in response to questions received from stakeholders; changes will be clearly marked. Recipients and stakeholders should consult Treasury's CPF Guidance for States Territories, and Freely Associated States and CPF Guidance for Tribal Governments for additional information. • For overall information about the program, including information on requesting funding, please see https://treasuEy.cov/CPF • For general questions about CPF, please email italProjectsFund(a?treasurv.gov Questions added 1/4/22: 2.9, 3.2, 3.6, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.9, 4.10, 4.13, 6.2, 6.3, 8.3 (noted with "[1/4]") Questions added 4/28/22: 2.10, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 4.6, 4.14, 5.5, 5.7 (noted with "[4/28]") 1. Eligibility and Allocations 1.1. Which governments are directly eligible for funds? The following governments are eligible to apply for CPF grants: • The 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (the States) • Tribal governments and the State of Hawaii (for Native Hawaiian Programs) • The United States Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau 1.2. Are cities and counties eligible to apply for CPF grant funds? No. The Capital Projects Fund makes grant funds available to States (defined to include the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), territories, freely associated states, and Tribal governments. While cities and counties are not directly eligible recipients, Treasury encourages direct recipients of CPF grants to engage with communities when planning for the use of grant funds. 1.3. Are libraries and other community centers eligible to apply for CPF grant funds? No. The Capital Projects Fund makes funds available to States, territories, freely associated states, and Tribal governments. While libraries and other community centers are not eligible to apply, Treasury encourages direct recipients of CPF grants to engage with communities when planning for the use of grant funds. 1.4. What is the grant period of performance? A recipient may use CPF grant funds to cover costs incurred beginning March 15, 2021 and ending December 31, 2026. For pre -award costs incurred after March 15, 2021, but prior to execution of the Grant Agreement, CPF recipients are required to provide reasonable assurance that the costs were incurred pursuant to the negotiation of and in anticipation of the CPF grant award and are necessary for the efficient and timely performance of the program. 1.5. When will CPF recipients receive grant awards? Treasury will make CPF grant funds available to States, territories, and freely associated states once the Grant Agreement is provided and a Grant Plan (containing at least one Program Plan) is reviewed and approved by Treasury. Only one Grant Agreement must be executed per State, territory, and freely associated state. For States, territories, and freely associated states, funds will be released to the recipient on an advance basis as requested by CPF recipients, rather than as a single lump sum for the total amount allocated to the State, territory, or freely associated state at the time of approval. Treasury will make requested Capital Projects Fund administrative funds (up to 5% of total allocated funds, as indicated by the recipient in the application) available to States, territories, and freely associated states once the Grant Agreement is executed. Additional funds will be made available for project costs as related Program Plans are approved. Tribal governments will receive CPF funds once an application is reviewed and Grant Agreement is executed. AS OF APRIL 28, 2022 2. Applications, Grant Plans, and Project Plans 2.1. What is the deadline to apply for CPF grants? States, territories, and freely associated states must submit applications by December 27, 2021 to receive funding under the Capital Projects Fund. These entities must also submit Grant Plans and Program Plans by September 24, 2022. Tribal governments must submit applications by June 1, 2022 to receive funding. Tribal governments do not need to submit a separate Grant Plan. 2.2. Will Treasury review CPF applications on a rolling basis? Yes. Treasury will review applications upon submission and make CPF grant funds available upon approval. 2.3. What is the deadline for CPF recipients to submit a Grant Plan? States, territories, and freely associated states must submit Grant Plans, including one or more Program Plans, by September 24, 2022. Tribal applicants do not need to submit a separate Grant Plan. 2.4. When must CPF grant funds be expended? All funds must be expended by December 31, 2026, which is the end of the period of performance. Recipients must return to Treasury any grant funds that are not used by the end of the period of performance on December 31, 2026. Treasury may, in its sole discretion, grant extensions to the period of performance upon request from CPF recipients. 2.5. For State, territory, and freely associated state applicants, what is an "Authorized Representative"? An Authorized Representative is an individual who will sign the CPF application, necessary certifications, and the Grant Agreement on behalf of the eligible applicant. For States, territories, and freely associated states, the Authorized Representative will be one of the following: An individual who is duly authorized by law (such as the Governor). In some cases, Treasury may request documentation confirming the status of the duly authorized individual. • An individual who has been granted authority to act on behalf of the eligible applicant by someone who is duly authorized to delegate such authority. A designation letter showing the delegation of authority must be provided to 3 Treasury. The letter must provide the Authorized Representative authority to act on behalf of the eligible applicant to apply for and execute a CPF grant, and to enter into agreements on behalf of the eligible applicant. The designation letter must be signed by a person who is duly authorized by virtue of their position (such as the Governor) to delegate such authority. 2.6. Can eligible CPF recipients modify a submitted Grant Plan? Recipients may submit or modify Grant Plans prior to the deadline. Updates to Grant Plans will be subject to review and approval by Treasury. 2.7. Can the Grant Plan be submitted at the same time as the application (i.e., before the Grant Agreement is executed)? Treasury will not review a Grant Plan until an eligible State, territory, or freely associated state application has been approved. An eligible State, territory, or freely associated state may submit a Grant Plan prior to executing the Grant Agreement, but no funds other than the administrative funds will be available to the recipient until the Grant Agreement has been executed and the Grant Plan approved. Funds for project costs will be made available as related project plans are approved. For Tribal governments, the initial application for the CPF grant will also serve as the Grant Plan. After approval of the Tribal application, funds will be made to the Tribal government. 2.8. What should State, territory, and freely associated state recipients include in a Program Plan? Program Plans can be a framework for how the State, territory, or freely associated state will utilize CPF funds. A Program Plan may propose funding for multiple, individually related projects or subgrants that all serve a common objective (e.g., Broadband Infrastructure). In the Program Plan, recipients are not expected to submit information about each individual project or subgrant, however project level data will be gathered during the reporting phase. Additional information regarding CPF grant and Program Plans will be made available in the coming weeks. Future updates will be posted on the CPF landing page: https://treasuEy.gov/CPF. 2.9. How does Treasury categorize costs associated with completing the CPF application and Grant Plan? [1/4] Treasury categorizes costs associated with completing the CPF application as program administrative costs. In addition, for States, territories, and freely associated states, Treasury categorizes costs associated with the development of the Grant Plan (including Program Plans) as program administrative costs. This classification marks a change from 11 the CPF Guidance for States, Territories, and Freely Associated States and CPF Guidance for Tribal Governments posted in September 2021. By making this change, Treasury aims to ease the burden on CPF recipients by making funds available for these costs sooner. Non -Tribal government recipients may now access program administrative funds to pay for these costs upon execution of the Grant Agreement. As a reminder, CPF recipients may use up to five percent of the total grant award amount or $25,000 (whichever is greater) for program administrative costs unless a CPF recipient receives written approval from Treasury. This change is effective immediately; Treasury will update the Guidance to reflect this modification. 2.10. How does Treasury categorize costs for community engagement activities? [4/28] Treasury categorizes costs associated with community engagement activities in connection with the development of the Grant Plan (including Program Plans) as program administrative costs. All other costs associated with community engagement activities (e.g., seeking public comment related to a project's location, design, or environmental impacts) should be categorized as project costs. This classification broadens how costs for community engagement activities may be treated and is consistent with the Program Plan Use Code templates available in the Treasury Submission Portal. Treasury will update the CPF Guidance for States, Territories, and Freely Associated States posted in September 2021 to reflect this modification. 3. Tribal Governments 3.1. How has Treasury determined the amount each Tribal government will receive in CPF grant funding? Each Tribal government and the State of Hawaii (for Native Hawaiian Programs) are allocated an equal amount of approximately $167,504 in line with the statutory text, which requires Treasury to allocate funds to these governments in "equal shares." 3.2. For Tribal government applicants, who is an "Authorized Representative"? [1/4] For Tribal governments, an "Authorized Representative" is the individual who will sign the necessary application certifications and the Grant Agreement on behalf of the eligible applicant. There are two types of Authorized Representatives for Tribal governments: 5 AS OF APRIL 28, 2022 1. an individual who is duly authorized by virtue of his or her position in the Tribal government (e.g., Tribal leader, chief executive officer), or 2. an individual who has been designated authority to act on behalf of the eligible applicant by a duly authorized Tribal official. For the second type, a designation letter must be submitted on official letterhead by the duly authorized Tribal official that specifically delegates responsibilities related to a Capital Projects Fund grant. These responsibilities include certifying the application and executing the Grant Agreement on behalf of the eligible Tribal government. Tribal governments may apply on behalf of other Tribal governments, and joint Tribal organizations (e.g., Tribal consortiums) may apply on behalf of multiple Tribal governments. A designation letter, as described above, must be submitted by each Tribal government that delegates responsibilities to the external entity applying on their behalf. For example, if Tribal Consortium W is applying on behalf of Tribal governments X, Y, and Z, Treasury must receive three designation letters on official letterhead, one from each Tribal government's duly authorized Tribal official (X, Y, and Z) that states that Tribal Consortium W has permission to act on their behalf. Tribal Consortium W should upload these letters to Treasury's Submission Portal. 3.3. Can a Tribal government apply for CPF grants through another Tribal government or consortium? Yes. Tribal governments may apply on behalf of other Tribal governments, and Tribal consortiums and similar joint Tribal organizations may also apply on behalf of multiple Tribes. If any entity (a different Tribal government, a consortium, etc.) is applying on behalf of an eligible applicant, the eligible applicant must grant the other entity the authority to apply and enter into agreements on their behalf. A designation letter must be submitted to show that the eligible applicant has authorized this other entity. 3.4. Do Tribal governments need to submit a Grant Plan? The application for the Capital Projects Fund will also serve as the Grant Plan for Tribal governments. Tribal governments do not need to submit separate Grant Plans. 3.5. Can a State award CPF grant funding to a Tribal government as a subrecipient? Yes. A State may award CPF grants to subrecipients. Subrecipients may include other levels or units of government, nonprofits, private entities, or Tribal governments. Tribal governments are also eligible to apply for CPF grants directly, as each Tribal government and the State of Hawaii (for Native Hawaiian Programs) are allocated an equal amount of approximately $167,504 in line with Section 604 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. rol AS OF APRIL 28, 2022 3.6. Can Tribal governments use their entire CPF award towards planning for a project that is primarily funded by other sources? [1/41 Yes. Tribal government recipients may use a portion or all of their CPF grant award towards planning for a project that is primarily funded by other sources. Tribal government recipients must ensure that the target project complies with CPF statutory requirements, all other applicable federal statutes, regulations, executive orders, and Treasury's CPF Guidance for Tribal Governments. Specifically, the target project must be designed to address a critical need in the community and directly enable work, education, and health monitoring in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. The project must also be operational before the end of the period of performance (December 31, 2026). Tribal government recipients should ensure that the target project is an acceptable use of funds for the other funding source(s). Treasury will review the Tribal government's CPF application and may request additional information. Tribal governments may be required to report on the project and should expect additional details in forthcoming reporting guidance. 3.7. What is the deadline for Tribal government recipients to expend their CPF funds after they receive them from Treasury? [4/281 Tribal recipients must expend CPF funds by the end of the period of performance, December 31, 2026. Any grant funds that are not used by the end of the period of performance must be returned to Treasury as part of the closeout process pursuant to 2 CFR 200.344(d). Treasury has made the determination that if a Tribal recipient fully disburses award funds before the end of the period of performance, the timing and amount of advance payments made by Treasury are as close as is administratively feasible to the actual disbursements by a Tribal recipient, and are therefore in compliance with 2 C.F.R. 200.305(b)(1). 3.8. Should Tribal government recipients track interest earned on CPF funds, and may they retain the interest? [4/281 Tribal government recipients should track the amount of interest earned on total Federal awards per year received from all Federal awarding agencies. If the amount of interest earned per year is $500 or less, a Tribal government recipient may keep the interest earned for administrative expenses. If the amount of interest earned in one year is more than $500, a Tribal government recipient must return the additional interest according to the instructions found at 2 C.F.R. 200.305(b)(9). 7 3.9. Must a Tribal government recipient maintain CPF funds in an interest -bearing account? [4/28] If a recipient receives $250,000 or more in total Federal awards per year, it must maintain those funds in interest -bearing accounts, unless certain conditions apply. Please consult 2 C.F.R. 200.305(b)(8) for further detail. 3.10. Which federal consumer broadband subsidy programs must a service provider participate in for a completed Broadband Infrastructure Project funded by a Tribal government recipient? [4/28] Treasury has identified the Federal Communications Commission's Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) as the federal consumer broadband subsidy program that a service provider must participate in for a completed Broadband Infrastructure Project funded by a Tribal government recipient. Tribal government recipients must require the service provider to participate in the ACP for a period of five years after the completion of a Broadband Infrastructure Project, or until the ACP or its successor program(s) are no longer operating, whichever is earlier. 4. Eligible Uses - General 4.1. Can CPF recipients use funds for administrative purposes? Yes. CPF recipients may use funds for program administrative costs, which include both indirect and direct administrative costs. This amount may not generally exceed five percent of the total requested grant amount, or $25,000, whichever is greater. Recipients may request a higher limit on program administrative costs by providing to Treasury, for its consideration, the rationale for the use of additional funds for administrative purposes. 4.2. Do program administrative costs need to be pre -approved by Treasury? [1/4] No, program administrative costs do not need to be pre -approved by Treasury; however, CPF recipients are required to report on the usage of funds for these costs. Additional information will be provided in forthcoming reporting guidance. 4.3. Can program administrative funds be reallocated and used for project costs? [1/4] Yes. CPF recipients may reallocate funds they initially intended to use for program administrative costs to instead be used for project costs. Changes to the amount of funds expended on program administrative costs should be made in a timely manner and promptly reflected in their Grant Plan (i.e., allocation table and Program Plan(s)) and in subsequent reporting. Updates to a non -Tribal government recipient Grant Plan can be made at any time prior to the end of the period of performance (December 31, 2026) through Treasurys Capital Projects Fund Submission Portal, and are subject to review and approval by Treasury. AS OF APRIL 28, 2022 Tribal governments should document this change during the reporting phase. 4.4. How does Treasury differentiate between subrecipients and contractors? [1/41 Treasury follows the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR & 200.1) definitions of "subrecipients" and "contractors" and uses 2 CFR § 200.331 to differentiate between them. For purposes of CPF, a "subrecipient" is an entity that receives a subaward from a CPF recipient to carry out a capital project on behalf of the CPF recipient. Subrecipients may include, but are not limited to, other levels or units of government, non -profits, or private entities. CPF recipients remain responsible for reporting to Treasury on their subrecipients' use of funds. CPF recipients are also responsible for monitoring and overseeing subrecipients' use of funds and other activities related to the award to ensure that the subrecipient complies with the statutory and regulatory requirements and the terms and conditions of the award. A "contractor" is an entity that receives a contract by which a CPF recipient or subrecipient purchases property or services needed to carry out a CPF project or program. For example, CPF recipients may award contracts to other entities —contractors —in order to build, modify, or improve a capital asset. 4.5. Can direct recipients of CPF grants award funds to subrecipients in the form of subgrants? Capital Projects Fund recipients may award funds in the form of subgrants to subrecipients, such as other levels or units of government (e.g., municipalities, counties), non -profits, private entities, or Tribal governments. Recipients are responsible for ensuring that subrecipients comply with the statutory and regulatory requirements and the terms and conditions established by Treasury's CPF guidance. 4.6. Can direct recipients of CPF grants award funds to subrecipients in the form of loans? [4/281 No. CPF recipients may not award funds to subrecipients in the form of loans. 4.7. Do subrecipients of CPF funds have to comply with CPF guidance? Yes. Subrecipients receive a subaward from a recipient to carry out a Capital Project on behalf of the recipient with their federal award funding and must comply with CPF guidance. Additionally, direct recipients of CPF grants are responsible for ensuring that subrecipients comply with the statutory and regulatory requirements and the terms and conditions established by Treasury's CPF guidance. 4.8. Can a CPF grant recipient allocate its entire allocation to a single program and award subgrants to subrecipients? 2 ♦. H ♦ ♦ • ,. Yes. A recipient may use the allocated funding for a single eligible program that awards subgrants to subrecipients. 4.9. Are subrecipients of CPF grant funds capped at five percent of their subaward for program administrative costs? [1/4] CPF recipients may use up to five percent of the total CPF grant award or $25,000 (whichever is greater) for program administrative costs, which includes any CPF grant funds that subrecipients use for program administrative costs. In other words, the total of the CPF recipient's program administrative costs and each subrecipient's program administrative costs may not exceed five percent of the total CPF grant award unless a CPF recipient receives written approval from Treasury. 4.10. Are pre -award costs incurred by a subrecipient preparing an application an allowable use of CPF grant funds? [1/4] Yes, but only if the subrecipient is successful in receiving a CPF subaward from a CPF recipient. CPF recipients should categorize a subrecipient's pre -award costs associated with preparing an application as a project cost as these costs will be incurred for individual projects. Note that if an entity incurs pre -award costs as part of a competitive selection process but is not ultimately selected as a subrecipient, its pre -award costs may not be reimbursed using CPF grant funds. 4.11. Can funds be used to pay staff salaries and benefits? Salaries and benefits may qualify as program administrative costs or project costs, depending on the work being performed. Personnel costs required for administering CPF awards, including salaries and benefits to staff and consultants, are an allowable use of funds under the program administrative cost category (e.g., program directors, subject matter experts, equity consultants, grant administrators, financial analysts, accountants, and attorneys). Personnel costs required for carrying out a Capital Project are also allowable use of funds under the project cost category (e.g., project managers, construction labor, architects, environmental engineers, network engineers). However, CPF grant funds may not be used for operating expenses, which includes the salaries of staff operating the capital project once it is completed. 4.12. Can funds be used to convert buildings into Multi -Purpose Community Facilities? CPF recipients may construct or improve buildings that jointly and directly enable work, education, and health monitoring in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. 4.13. Can CPF grant funds be used for environmental reviews? [1/4] 10 * ., Yes. Costs associated with conducting environmental reviews for an eligible project are considered project costs. CPF recipients are responsible for complying with all applicable environmental laws and regulations applicable to projects supported by CPF grant funding. CPF recipients must also retain records, permits, and documentation necessary to evidence compliance with all environmental requirements. Treasury has developed an environmental checklist to assist CPF recipients in conducting due diligence related to compliance with environmental laws. 4.14. Can CPF grant funds be combined with other sources of funds to carry out an eligible capital project? [4/281 Yes. Recipients can use CPF grant funds, in conjunction with other funding sources (e.g., federal funding sources, state and local funding sources, private funding sources) to undertake an eligible capital project. In all cases, projects funded with CPF grant awards must comply with all CPF requirements, in addition to requirements of the other funding source(s). 5. Eligible Uses - Broadband 5.1. Can a program fund a presumptively eligible Broadband Infrastructure Project in an area where there is an existing enforceable federal funding commitment? If a recipient is considering using Capital Projects Fund grant funds in areas where there is an existing enforceable funding commitment for service that meets or exceeds 100Mbps download by 20Mbps upload, the recipient must ensure CPF grant funds will not be used for costs that will be reimbursed by the other federal or state funding streams. Additionally, CPF grant funds must be used only for complementary purposes. 5.2. Is fiber-optic infrastructure the only eligible broadband investment? CPF recipients are encouraged to prioritize investments in fiber-optic infrastructure where feasible, as such advanced technology better supports future needs. To be presumptively eligible for funding, Broadband Infrastructure Projects must be designed to deliver, upon project completion, service that reliably meets or exceeds symmetrical download and upload speeds of 100 Mbps, unless impracticable. 11 C. IMMETIJ. 5.3. Are middle -mile broadband projects an eligible use of CPF grant funding? CPF recipients may use funds for middle -mile broadband grant projects. However, Treasury encourages recipients to focus on projects that will achieve last -mile connections and those considering funding middle -mile projects are encouraged to have commitments in place to support new and/or improved last -mile service. 5.4. How should a CPF recipient determine the threshold of affordability for broadband connectivity? Treasury's CPF guidance provides flexibility for recipients of CPF grant funds to best determine the threshold of affordability for their communities. CPF recipients are encouraged to consult with the community as part of the process they undertake to consider affordability and are required to publish the description of their methods for considering affordability in their project selection process. Treasury will also require CPF recipients to report pricing data as part of program performance and monitoring. CPF recipients are also required to ensure that service providers for completed CPF funded Broadband Infrastructure Projects participate in the Federal Communications Commission's Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides eligible households with discounts on broadband internet access services and devices. 5.5. Which federal consumer broadband subsidy programs must a service provider participate in for a completed Broadband Infrastructure Project? [4/28] Treasury has identified the Federal Communications Commission's Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) as the federal consumer broadband subsidy program that a service provider must participate in for a completed Broadband Infrastructure Project. State and territory recipients must require the service provider to participate in the ACP for the lifespan of the Broadband Infrastructure Project, or until the ACP or its successor program(s) are no longer operating, whichever is earlier 5.6. How does a recipient of CPF grant funds demonstrate that technical standards established in the CPF guidance are impracticable because of geography, topography, or excessive cost? Treasury gives CPF recipients the flexibility to provide a range of data and other information to demonstrate impracticability. CPF recipients should provide this information in the Grant Plan. 5.7. Can CPF grant funds be used to pay for the replacement or placement of utility poles? [4/28] The replacement or placement of utility poles is an eligible project cost when it is part of a CPF-approved Broadband Infrastructure Program Plan that directly provides new or improved broadband service to end users. CPF funds may not be used to fund a program or project which only supports the replacement or placement of utility poles.. 12 AS OF APRIL 28, 2022 6. Reporting 6.1. What reporting will be required for CPF grant recipients? All recipients of CPF grants are required to submit project and expenditure reports. These reports -will generally include, but are not limited to, data regarding projects, expenditures, project status, subawards, equity indicators, community engagement efforts, programmatic data, and other measures as determined by Treasury. States, territories, and freely associated states will submit project and expenditure reports quarterly. Tribal governments will submit project and expenditure reports annually. States, territories, and freely associated states (but not Tribal governments) are also required to submit annual performance reports. Annual performance reports must include data related to program outputs and outcomes against the stated objectives of the recipient's Grant Plan. Specific reporting deadlines will be provided to recipients at the time of application approval. Treasury will release additional reporting guidance in the coming weeks which will be available on the CPF website. 6.2. What data should a State, territory, and freely associated state recipient collect to facilitate compliance with its reporting requirements? [1/4] Treasury will provide detailed reporting instructions, including reporting timelines, in forthcoming reporting guidance. Quarterly Reports: At a minimum, State, territory, and freely associated state recipients should collect and be prepared to provide the following for quarterly project and expenditure reports: • Project description; • Project location(s); • Project start and end date; • Project status; • Project expenditures; • Number of households, businesses, and anchor institutions to be served; • Location of communities to be served; and • Description of how equity and community engagement activities informed project selection and design. Additionally, States, territories, and freely associated states using CPF grant funds for Broadband Infrastructure Projects should collect and prepare the following information for each project: 13 • Whether the project is designed to, upon completion, reliably meet or exceed symmetrical 100 Mbps download and upload speeds; • Technology type; • Project ownership (e.g., private, public private partnership, municipal government, tribal government, non-profit, cooperative); • Miles of fiber; • Whether each location served is residential, commercial, or a community anchor institution; and • Pricing offered (speed tiers to be offered, including the speed/pricing of its affordability offering). More information will be released at a later date regarding specific reporting requirements applicable to other grant use types (Digital Connectivity Technology projects, Multi -Purpose Community Facility projects, and projects determined to be eligible based on case -by -case review). Annual Reports: At a minimum, State, territory, and freely associated state recipients should collect and be prepared to provide the following for annual reports: • Narrative response outlining progress towards objectives submitted in the application and Grant Plan (including Program Plan(s)); • Number of households served by the capital asset upon project completion (e.g., number of households with broadband access; number of households receiving devices through loan out programs; number of households with access to work, education, and health monitoring activities and services offered, etc.); • Summary of community engagement and public participation activities conducted to solicit input from and/or partner with communities from the past year that informed the definition of critical need for program(s) and projects; and • Summary of future community engagement and public participation activities planned for the upcoming year that will continue to shape program and project selection, implementation, and operation. In the forthcoming reporting guidance, Treasury will provide additional information about what will be required by quarterly and annual reports. CPF recipients will be notified when the reporting guidance is publicly available on the CPF website. 14 6.3. What data should Tribal government recipients collect to facilitate compliance with its reporting requirements? 11/41 Treasury will provide detailed reporting instructions, including reporting timelines, in forthcoming reporting guidance for Tribal governments. Tribal governments will have a unique set of reporting guidelines separate from State, territory, and freely associated state CPF recipients. Annual Reports: At a minimum, Tribal government recipients should prepare and collect the following, among other data, for annual reports: • Project description; • Project location(s); • Project start and end date; • Project status; • Project expenditures; • Number of households, businesses, and anchor institutions to be served; and • Location of communities to be served. Additionally, Tribal governments using CPF grant funds for Broadband Infrastructure Projects may be required to provide the following information for each project in the first annual report after a program has been approved by Treasury: • Whether the project is designed to, upon completion, reliably meet or exceed symmetrical 100 Mbps download and upload speeds; • Technology type; • Project ownership (e.g., private, public private partnership, municipal government, tribal government, non-profit, cooperative); • Miles of fiber; • Whether each location served is residential, commercial, or a community anchor institution; and • Pricing offered (speed tiers to be offered, including the speed/pricing of its affordability offering). For other uses of funds, more information will be released at a later date. CPF recipients will be notified when the reporting guidance is publicly available on the CPF website. 7. Miscellaneous 7.1. What are examples of eligible "health monitoring" services? Treasury defines health monitoring services as, "services to monitor an individual's health, including with respect to either physical or behavioral health." This can include, 15 AS OF APRIL 28, 2022 but is not limited to, services such as telemedicine appointments or community health screenings. CPF recipients should review the CPF guidance to determine if their program or project is eligible. Treasury will evaluate all projects that are not presumptively eligible on a case -by -case basis. 8. Operations 8.1.

Protect those at high risk for severe illness. Check current risk level using the QR code. new:.uoi roan<omrtomansue�ei RMIKE O Dear Jefferson County business community, The COVID-19 case rate is at a high level and and has been rising since early March. So, I'm reaching out to encourage all of us to keep taking safety precautions, including wearing a mask. The quality of the mask you wear is especially important when you are surrounded by unmasked people. I recommend wearing a KN95, KF94, or N95 mask if your work regularly brings you in contact with unmasked people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a study in February that showed those who wore an KN95 or N95 mask consistently while in indoor, public settings were 83 percent less likely to contract COVID-19 than unmasked individuals. I also want to encourage you to post signs that promote mask wearing in your businesses. In our interviews with the public, we find that many individuals do not know that our case rates are high and that masking is recommended indoors. We're asking for your support in spreading the word to keep your businesses safe. One of our signs is attached to this email. Printed copies are available M-F, 9 AM-4:30 PM at the Jefferson County Public Health Office beside QFC in Port Townsend. Our office also offers free N95 and KN95 masks (three per person) and free home COVID-19 test kits for those who need them. Please report positive home test results to us online by clicking here. Thank you for your continuing efforts to keep our community healthier and safer. Please let us know if there's anything more we can do to support the safety of your workplace.

Procurement standards apply in any instance that a county uses Fiscal Recovery Funds to procure goods and services to carry out eligible uses, including under the revenue loss category. How is a contract different from a subaward? The Uniform Guidance defines a "contract" as a legal instrument by which a county or subrecipient purchases property or services needed to carry out a project under a federal award. A "subaward" is distinct because it is an award provided by a county to a subrecipient to carry out part of a federal award on behalf of a county government. • ASK YOUR QUESTION 0 NACo's ARPA RECOVERY FUND RESOURCES www.NACo.org/W]1 660 North Capitol Street, NW, Suite 400 Washington, D.C. 20001 !/' f I in I -I- Did someone forward you this email?

JEFFERSON LAND TRUST Protecting places that matter since 1989 FARMS, FISH and FORESTS FOREVER April 2022 eNews Spring sun captured in rhododendron leaves. Cappy's Trails, Quimper Wildlife Corridor. QUIMPER WILDLIFE CORRIDOR Quimper Wildlife Corridor Update Since 1992, Jefferson Land Trust has been working with partners and the community to protect one small parcel after another to build a ribbon of green that preserves the wetlands, wildlife, and popular trails of the Quimper Peninsula. In early 2021, we launched the Quimper Wildlife Corridor Challenge: an ambitious plan to protect up to 160 priority acres in the Quimper Wildlife Corridor and ensure that this precious resource remains available to future generations of local wildlife and people forever. N Since then, we've permanently protected 12 properties, totaling nearly 30 acres. We're set to close on five additional properties (2.5 acres) this spring, and have also initiated appraisals on five more key properties. Prior to the Challenge, 138 acres had been permanently protected in the corridor over a nearly 30-year period. The additional 30 acres represents an almost 22 percent increase in protected land in just one year. An amazing achievement! We've also begun working with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to determine the purchase price for 107 acres of corridor forestland that DNR owns, which is currently leased by Jefferson County. Over the next year, the county and the Land Trust will work together to forever protect these 107 acres. The community's response to the Quimper Wildlife Corridor Challenge illustrates the importance of this special place. We're very grateful to have received more than 415 individual and foundation donations totaling more than $1.64 million (94 percent of our original goal), and the gifts continue to roll in. New Program! Monthly Meanders Begins in May 3 With the start of spring, we're pleased to announce a new public program that invites you to join us on the land. Come learn about our local special places with a local naturalist and a volunteer Preserve Steward, or one of Jefferson Land Trust's staff members, on a small group tour. Once a month, from spring to fall, Monthly Meanders will focus on a different Land Trust Preserve or protected property. Nature In Your Neighborhood 64091a Meanders Up to 10 people are invited for each Meander. For complete details and how to register, visit the Monthly Meanders event registration. Wetland Ecological Health Assessment: An Exciting Opportunity for Volunteers 4 Jefferson Land Trust is seeking volunteers for a hands-on, boots - on, first -time -ever opportunity. We need a number of people willing to take an active role in our upcoming wetland ecological health assessment. Through data collection on the land, the assessment will measure wetland health at Chai- yakh-wh Preserve, Duckabush Oxbow and Wetlands Preserve, Snow Creek Forest Preserve, and in the Quimper Wildlife Corridor. Guided by Land Trust staff, volunteers will participate in a half or full day of in -person outdoor training in May and will then work in small teams to undertake the wetland ecological health assessment project across the selected preserves in June. After initial training, the exact timing of this community science data gathering is flexible to meet individual schedules. Data collected in the field must also be entered into a simple online form from any home computer or internet-connected phone (training provided). This volunteer opportunity is a great fit for those who: feel comfortable traveling on uneven terrain, including through salmonberry, brush, water, and deep mud; appreciate a rare opportunity to explore the preserves off -trail; and are interested in participating in community science to make a real difference for ocal wetlands and wildlife. 5 If this sounds like you, please email Office and Preserve Assistant Cristina Villalobos by May 9 to sign up.

Grace and Ava holding up tansy ragwort, a noxious weed toxic to deer and elk, that they dug up at Silver Reach Preserve. 6 During the week of April 4-8, Jefferson Land Trust's 2022 Youth Corps interns spent their spring breaks undertaking a variety of key restoration projects across several of our nature preserves. Six high school students from Jefferson and Kitsap counties joined Land Trust Preserve Manager Carrie Clendaniel and Office and Preserve Assistant Cristina Villalobos, as well as experts from the community, for a hands-on education about the importance of thoughtful management activities for forest and stream health. According to Carrie, who oversees the Youth Corps program, the students showed up every day with a great attitude and willingness to learn. Ava asked great questions of our career speakers, Sara shared her limitless energy and enthusiasm, Noah always volunteered to carry the mattocks while working on blackberry, and Daniel served as the tool specialist, ensuring that the Corps started and ended each day with all necessary tools. And two students, Claire and Grace, were tasked with documenting and photographing the week's activities by serving as Communications Officers. The pair did a fantastic job logging the group's activities through daily field reports and lots of great photos, which our social media followers enjoyed throughout the week. See all the photos in the field report! "Chimacum Creek": A Poem by Hudson Gardner Chimacum Creek by Hudson Gardner The creek is quiet this spring salmon minnows swim in the bank shadows. Yellow and blue rocks, below dry grey rocks A little channel surging seaward. The water speaks in salmonberry flowers or cedar roots, by what it grows. 1 hear the road above the burble of the creek And see a cut, blown over cedar stump taller than me. Young sitka spruce, bigleof maple, a hiding frog, All our friends are here. Hot sun from a ripped up clearcut filters down, cools, and becomes beautiful amidst dark shadows along this little creek. For more than 30 years, with the help of many partners and supporters, Jefferson Land Trust has protected more than 1000 acres in the Chimacum Creek watershed. Once completely wiped out, summer chum now hatch every spring in Chimacum Creek. Thanks to Hudson for sharing this poem! You can read more of his work and learn more about him on his website.

What Will Happen Next?" is an audiobook by Mrs. Stengel's 2020-21 first grade class at Salish Coast Elementary. Inspired by their year -long project of raising salmon eggs (roe) in the classroom for eventual release into Chimacum Creek at Illahee Preserve, the story is about a student named Sam who finds himself transformed into a salmon and experiences the full life cycle — all the way to spawning in Chimacum Creek. With the help of school librarian and STEM specialist Denise Aedan, the first graders wrote and illustrated the story.

The book project gave the first graders a creative way to learn and engage with their local ecology when the pandemic put these field trips on hold, and the result is a fun educational journey that kids and adults will both enjoy.

Service restoration update Our latest Service Restoration Plan Progress Report released this week shows that our Seattle/Bainbridge route has reached 95% reliability over the last three weeks. As a result, I'm happy to report that the run has moved from trial service (Stage 3) to fully restored (Stage 4). With Yakima out of service due to damage from an anchor malfunction yesterday, we're unexpectedly down a boat. With limited vessel availability right now, all other routes will remain in their current stage, with most runs in alternate service (Stage 2). April 28, 2022 Peak season surcharge begins Sunday, May 1 Starting Sunday, May 1, the peak season surcharge goes into effect for vehicle - and -driver fares. This change does not affect passenger fares and multiride products. The surcharge lasts through Sept. 30. Colman Dock Project update Construction slowed during the recent concrete strike, Fourteen new terminal employees completed orientation and training earlier this month and are now out working throughout our system. The other factor in moving a route from Stage 2 to Stage 3 is crewing availability. That can also be unpredictable depending on relief requests and the number of new employees we're able to recruit, who then must complete the required training needed to crew our vessels. I know our alternate service schedules have been challenging and understand how they are frustrating for our riders. Again, we are committed in keeping you updated throughout our service restoration process. No new San Juan Islands vehicle reservations through Sunday, May 1 New vehicle reservations for our Anacortes/San Juan Islands route have been suspended through at least Sunday, May 1, with no-show fees waived. These changes were made following the unexpected loss in vehicle space on the run with Yakima going out of service yesterday. Existing reservation holders will be prioritized and loaded on a first -come, first -served basis. Distracted Driving Awareness Month April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month and I thought this would be a good time to remind our customers to be safe, attentive drivers on our vessels and at our terminals, where many of our employees work right in the middle of lanes of traffic. A particular concern I've heard from my colleagues is the use of cell phones while driving. Please remember that as an extension of the state highway system, all state laws on distracted driving apply on our ferry system. but crews working on our Colman Dock Protect rearranged their plans to make steady progress on the final two-thirds of the new Seattle terminal building. With concrete flowing again, we're now on target for a summertime opening of the completed terminal building, which features bright, welcoming entryways. Crews are also busy constructing the new entry building along Alaskan Way and the elevated walkway connecting it to the terminal building. Both are slated to open in 2023. Aerial photo of Colman Dock showing the terminal building (right), entry building (left) and elevated walkway connecting them. Sounders flags to fly on Seattle vessels Wednesday, May 4 Congratulations to the Seattle Sounders FC for advancing to the finals of the CONCACAF Champions League — a tournament that crowns the best soccer team in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. In support of the home team, we're going to be flying the Sounders flag on all our ferries that serve Colman Dock in downtown Seattle on Wednesday, May 4, which is game day at Lumen Field against Mexico's Pumas UNAM. ■ All ferries serving Colman Dock will fly the Sounders flag on Wednesday, May 4, in support of the team's home match that evening. When driving onto a vessel it's important to pay attention, make eye contact with our employees and look at where they are directing you.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. During the county's quarterly electeds & departmental meeting on Monday (4/25), Commissioner Brotherton mentioned that WSDOT is planning several weekend closures of the Hood Canal Bridge. Director Butler suggested that additional ferry service might help. Here's the official notice from WSDOT: https://wsdot.wa.gov/construction-planning/search-projects/sr-104-hood-canal-bridge-center-lock-rehabilitation 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. The prospect of an extended bridge closure during any of our busy festival / event weekends is alarming, to say the least. According to the WSDOT Traffic Count Database System, traffic volume is down about 15% compared with previous years but can still be expected to average at least 10,000 vehicles (one way) per day. Unfortunately, even if it were possible for WSF to restore the second 64-car ferry to the Port Townsend- Coupeville route, that would at most increase capacity by about 600 cars per day (one way); i.e., not a meaningful amount. County and city leaders will need to work with WSDOT to see if any specific weekend(s) can be spared from the planned closures.

Stay informed by subscribing to our email updates L/ History and background Timeline Funding M�ps drawings Related links Contact The SR 104 Hood Canal Bridge is truly unique. Massive hydraulic systems lift, retract and extend the driving surface of the bridge. The movement creates an opening large enough for marine traffic. A key element of this bridge helps keep both halves of the bridge together. The area, called a center lock, is similar to a door's deadbolt. During this project, crews will bolster the center lock to better withstand tremendous forces, especially during powerful winter storms and fast-moving tides. https://wsdot.wa.gov/construction-planning/search-projects/sr-104-hood-canal-bridge-center-lock-rehabilitation 2/4 5/4/22, 4:48 PM SR 104 - Hood Canal Bridge - Center Lock Rehabilitation I WSDOT Crews also will make permanent repairs to another system. Twin metallic objects shaped like pyramids on one half of the bridge help guide the bridge into dual receivers located on the second half of the bridge. Workers will temporarily remove both systems - called pyramids - and a large metal plate that secures the pyramids in place. Crews will then reinstall the metal plate and the pyramids using industrial -sized bolts. During winter 2020, WSDOT maintenance crews made temporary repairs to the mechanisms. During summer or fall 2022, contractor crews working for WSDOT will make permanent repairs to the pyramids. Repairs will extend the ability for the bridge to open for marine traffic and close the draw span for all travelers crossing the SR 104 Hood Canal Bridge. With no convenient alternate routes between Kitsap and Jefferson, repairing the bridge preserves an important lifeline for residents and businesses.

The bridge was a major missing link in the 289-mile long Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail spanning the state. The bridge is not a WWRP-funded program, though many sections of the trail have received WWRP funding. The celebration brought together roughly 600 people, and speakers included Governor Jay Inslee, State Senator Judy Warnick, former Washington State Secretary Ralph Munro, Johnny, Clayton, and Lela Buck of the Wanapum Nation, and representatives from the national Rails -to -Trails Conservancy, Washington State Parks Commission, and one of our very own founders, Fred Wert, representing the Palouse to Cascades Trail Coalition. Read more Q Redistricting & Your Outdoors Every ten years, Washington state redraws the state legislative district boundaries based on census data. All states in the nation must do this to rebalance shifts in population and ensure equal representation across the state. Washington is one of a few states with an independent commission. Redistricting also means many legislators will need to build relationships with new constituents and get to know new communities, organizations, and areas. A few weeks ago Paul Graves, WWRC board member and member of the redistricting commission, along with WWRC's Executive Director, Christine Mahler, lead a Zoom presentation about the redistricting process, what it means for our outdoors, and how the WWRC can help build relationships among legislators, new constituents and communities.

As part of our goal to protect 30 percent of U.S. lands and water, we helped protect Minnesota's Boundary Waters, stop oil and gas drilling in Chaco Canyon National Historic Park in New Mexico, and re -list Gray 1 Wolves as endangered species in 44 states. We reached another milestone in our efforts to transform our energy system when Sierra Club's Beyond Coal Campaign secured the retirement of the 350th coal plant in Rockport, Indiana —check out this short video of community members calling to repower Indiana. In St. James Parish, Louisiana, our priority outcome to build a powerful base of support is illustrated by the tenacity of a community fighting against the petrochemical industry. The coalition of partners in the region is an example of the power of communities that work together to ensure they are healthy, clean, safe, and just for everyone. We couldn't do this without supporters like you. Together, we can help deepen the movement for a livable planet, safe and healthy communities, and a democracy that works for everyone.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Commissioners, I am writing in regards to the unsatisfactory staffing and traffic congestion at the Jefferson County Landill. Usually, there is only one person giving out tickets and accepting payment. The lines last Saturday as with numerous other was about 15 vehicles. The employee was doing the best she could. My biggest complaint is after you're done unloading your waste/trash you are in a bottle neck again. I have experienced high volumes and long lines even during week days. With that many vehicles idling to enter and exiting, I can't help to think what the combined carbon footprint is. I realize hiring personnel is not easy in this day and age. Rerouting the weigh scale would be expensive and should have been thought out and planned at the start. Please hire sufficient personnel for a solution in the payment booth. The other solution to re -situate the traffic flow would be cost prohibitive.

Exploring Jefferson Transit's New Kingston Express Service from Port Townsend to Seattle -�� - Cindy Jayne recently tried out Jefferson Transit's New Kingston Express Service from Port Townsend to Seattle, and wrote about it in the latest Local 20/20 column in the Port Townsend Leader. In it, she shares how easy it was to use, and how it allowed her and her husband to have a fun day in Seattle without having to deal with parking hassles. It was easy to connect to the Sound Transit light rail and King County Metro buses to get up to the University of Washington, and back down to Pioneer Square for a snack before getting back on the Kingston Fast Ferry back to Kingston, where the Jefferson Transit Kingston Express was waiting. Plus it kept the carbon footprint of the trip low!

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 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. Join the Preservation Month Hoopla 2!1� May is National Historic Preservation Month and JCHS invites you participate in many ways. In our community we can think broadly about preservation by going beyond architecture and considering remembrance, 1 storytelling, and restoration of the land as part of the preservation movement. May isjam-packedwith opportunities to get nerdy about history and help support your local museum, where curiosity is our middle name. We would love to see you at the Research Center Open House this Saturday, May 7, where you will get a rare, behind -the -scenes glimpse into our collections. I encourage you to ask as many hard questions as you can — being curious is fun and productive! Ask about what you see and about what you don't see. Inclusive preservation is just as much about what has been saved as it is about what hasn't, and why. Second, please participate in our AHA! Auction this month, May 13 - 27! This fundraiser is vital for our organization to be able to continue to offer free educational resources on local historic preservation to our community. Curious about what is on the horizon at JCHS? Join us for our Annual Members Meeting on May 17—the same day in 1951 that JCHS moved into Historic City Hall as its new home. We've come a long way! Lastly, don't miss the opportunity to participate in our first History Hike with David Brownell at gatay Prairie on May 21. You can learn more about all these goings-on and how you can participate below. And if that wasn't enough Preservation Month hoopla for you, reach out to me anytime. There's always more happening here, and I'd love to have you more involved as a volunteer, trustee, or advisor. We are your fellow historic preservation enthusiasts, and we want you to see this as your museum, your collection, and your history. See you soon!

Spring First Friday Series Encore To kick off Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, we're giving this year's Spring First Friday Speaker Series an encore! This series celebrating Chinese American voices from within the Port Townsend community and beyond took place between February and April of this year, and over 360 people registered for the livestreams or in -person programs! Through the lenses of multidisciplinary art, film, and academic research, speakers shared their perspectives on historical and contemporary experiences of Chinese and Chinese American peoples in Jefferson County and Washington State. All programs were livestreamed from Northwest Maritime Center, and the recordings are available now by donation through SimpleTix. We hope you enjoy this multidisciplinary, multigenerational lineup of presenters as much as we did! Reopening Our Sites The last week of April marked the first time this year that each of our sites were open to the public in the same week! Creating welcoming visitor experiences across multiple sites is a team effort, and one that is critical to our mission of bringing people together to share, learn, and be inspired by Jefferson County arts and heritage. Thanks to our staff, volunteers, partners at Washington State Parks, and the many supporters in our community who share our passion for history, art, and storytelling, we are slowly expanding hours and getting closer to our pre -pandemic operating capacity. You can always visit our sites page for the most up to date operating hours, but here's a snapshot of where and when you can regularly visit us these days: Jefferson Museum of Art & History Open 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Thursday — Sunday • 1904 Commanding Officer's Quarters Open 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Thursday — Sunday 1868 Rothschild House Tentatively opening for Saturdays beginning in June.

Final Week of Cosmos Also leaving the Jefferson Museum soon is the work of Stephen Yates that has been gracing the walls of our entrance lobby and classroom. The pieces on view are part of Stephen's Cosmos series of paintings inspired by undersea, under -the - microscope, and outer space imagery — and the ways they resemble one another! We'll miss these colorful pieces but are looking forward to installing some of the artwork up for bidding as part of our AHA! Auction in its place ahead of our May 13 open house!

Due to the high volumes of reservations being made today for the release of the entire summer season customers experienced very long delays and receiving server time out errors on the WSF website. Our IT and Customer Service teams have been working all day to troubleshoot what caused these issues and found an issue with our cloud servers not scaling correctly for the level of activity that occurred during this reservation release. Our IT team refreshed the reservation system and manually increased the number of servers managing the load, we have seen greater improvement in the site performance. The number of reservations being made by customers has greatly increased since we made those changes, with customers now able to successfully navigate the system. Our customer call center has also been very busy today helping those who've called in, so you may hear frustrations from constituents regarding both the website and the Call Center. Customer Service agents they have been working tirelessly all day, and we are still working through a back log of calls due to customers not being able to reserve online.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Ms. Eisenhour, I'm writing to express my serious concern over the disruption of drag racing/car shows that occur near nightly on Wadsworth Blvd near the Belleview intersect. This past Sunday night (5/1) between 8:15 pm - 12:15 am drag racing and a car show were going on and both were extremely disruptive. The noise from Wadsworth was appalling. This seems to be a monthly occurance. The car shows are getting out of hand. There is no way that amount of noise should be legal. I wasn't able to sleep and this is becoming a regular occurance for myself and neighbors. I contacted the Jefferson County non -emergent number twice because it got so bad ... nothing was done unfortunately. We need to do something about this. Perhaps we should follow Aurora's suit and start having permanent under cover police officers along Wadsworth? I don't meant to be dramatic, but this cannot go on any longer. It's making life miserable. I have a chronic illness as many do, and need sleep in order to not become sicker. This shouldn't be taken lightly any longer. What can we do to resolve this? Thank you very much for your time.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Well done Jefferson County commissioners! Your planning commission considered the multitude of comments and concerns from your community over the past year & then with careful consideration voted to stifle any "burdens" you encountered in regards to installing homeless tent encampments into any neighborhood of your choosing. Your proposed ordinance changes of lowering the bar by welcoming warrants or sex offenders, removing fire restrictions or setbacks and buffers from camps, then any reasonable limitations on the number of homeless occupant populations in our communities is dangerous. Your short sighted decisions are paving the way for Port Townsend & Jefferson County to become a new homeless hub for hire where the mentally ill, addicts & criminals are farmed out for more state funds while other communities are looking to clean up their towns and offload their own burdens. This will be fantastic come tourist season! Welcome to the future of Port Townsend: a picturesque Gotham Victorian Seaport of poverty, crime, abuse & waste. You —the Jeff Co. commissioners ignore your constituents, sacrifice your neighborhoods then represent nothing for a safe & sane community... just another reckless and shameful abuse of power.

It will only take a few seconds, but it will make a BIG difference for future generations of humans and wildlife alike. Even better, your gift will be TRIPLED by our generous Board of Directors, up to $4,250. 1 When you give, you protect farms, forests, and land for wildlife to roam, and local parks. Parks like the North Rainier Land Banked Park in Seattle. A Future Park in North Rainier The North Rainier urban village is one of the most demographically diverse regions in the nation. It also has limited access to park resources, limited walkability and a low rating within the equity, health and income/poverty metrics in Seattle. The North Rainier Land Banked Park will take a vacant lot and create a park in this neighborhood. Extensive community outreach with enthusiastic participation led to a plan that prioritizes picnicking, exercise, and play, with multi -generational and ADA access. Local residents and workers will be able to enjoy picnic amenities, a path for strolling, jogging or skating, and a fitness zone. A community gathering area will accommodate festivals. Plantings will improve habitat and reduce heat island effects, and water infrastructure is designed to manage stormwater runoff. This project received funding in 2021, and construction is expected to begin this summer. It will be one step towards a vibrant, healthy future for the North Rainier community. Hundreds of new potential outdoor projects are being submitted this year. Hundreds of communities like North Rainier are hoping to receive funding through the WWRP in 2023. Without YOUR help, these plans could end up back on the drawing board. Help protect Washington's outdoors today with a gift to the WWRC. 2 With gratitude, Christine Mahler Executive Director Pronouns: she/her/hers Wild I ifeRecreation.org PS.

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.
