United ate ensus 2020 U.S. Census Bureau Releases 2020 Undercount and Overcount Rates by State and the District of Columbia Coverage Rates by Census Operation for the Nation Also Now Available MAY 19, 2022—The U.S. Census Bureau today released the 2020 Census estimated undercount and overcount rates by state and the District of Columbia from the Post- Enumeration Survey (PES). Also released today are estimated coverage rates by census operation.This includes coverage rates by mode of self-response, and by respondent type in the Nonresponse Followup operation. "The release of these PES estimates assists us in understanding how well we did this decade, state by state, in our efforts to count everyone living in the United States," Census Bureau Director Robert L. Santos said. "Transparency is a critical aspect of scientific integrity. That is why we are releasing these results to the public. Our assessments — including the 2020 Census quality indicators, the PES, and the Demographic Analysis released earlier this year— 1 offer valuable insights into the quality of the 2020 Census counts. Although none of the assessments alone can be considered definitive since no "true count" of the population exists, today's PES results suggest that some states experienced undercounts or overcounts." Read More The PES estimates show how well the 2020 Census counted everyone in the nation by creating an independent estimate of the number of people living in the United States on April 1, 2020 (excluding people in group quarters, such as nursing homes or college dorms, and people in Remote Alaska areas), surveying a sample of people in households in the United States, and matching those responses to their records in the 2020 Census. "Achieving an accurate count for all 50 states and D.C. is always a difficult endeavor, and these results suggest it was difficult again in 2020, particularly given the unprecedented challenges we faced," Santos added. "It is important to remember that the quality of the 2020 Census total population count is robust and consistent with that of recent censuses. However, we know there is still more work to do in planning future censuses to ensure equitable coverage across the United States, and we are working to overcome any and all obstacles to achieve that goal."

The agenda states: " 6. PUBLIC COMMENTS Public comments from attendees about any topic that is not on the agenda. Public comments on agenda items can be given during the agenda item's section. 3 minutes per speaker." While my comments were simply word-smithing, the impact of the wording regarding background checks and eviction from a temporary housing site, as approved, could be detrimental to the population we are serving with this ordinance. I appreciate all of the work that has gone into revising this ordinance and the final product that has resulted. Unfortunately, by declining to hear public comment, a good ordinance, was not made even better. It takes the whole village...

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Good afternoon commissioners and staff, California's mighty old growth Redwood trees have been degraded to an estimated 3-5%of their original territory. According to a recent study, old growth Redwood forests store more carbon than any other type of forest on Earth, including tropical rainforests.They estimate that old growth Redwoods store up to 890 metric tons per acre. During the gold rush, the demand for lumber served as blinders for people and they were perceived as an endless resource, so the ancient trees were toppled without any thought given to the future. Do you think Californians, scientists,or the steady stream of tourists who go to California to see these marvels of nature think that those forests can just regrow so they are justified in slashing these trees? Is our shortsightedness going to look as irresponsible and destructive to future generations of Washingtonians?

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. County Commissioners, Dr. Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, Please see the KPTZ listener questions below for Monday, May 23, 2022 BOCC Update. Thank you, KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr. Allison Berry: 1. I thought you said that PCR tests did not work if you had been doing home antigen tests. I know people are getting PCR tests after they have had home tests. Is that ok? What is the relationship? 2. You mentioned mixing vaccinations for 4th booster. So if you've had 3 Moderna are you suggesting Pfizer for the 4th? Is this the best option for maximum protection? 3. As more COVID home antigen tests are available and our cases continue to rise, could you please review both the best technique for doing the tests (I recall that you advised swabbing our noses for more seconds than the instructions say, but now I don't remember how many seconds you advised). Also please discuss scenarios for people to use the tests. Hopefully, it is obvious to folks that we should self-test with symptoms and/or exposure, but what about other specific examples of your advice about whether to test pre and or post travel, gatherings, etc. I know you have discussed this somewhat, but I feel like perhaps some people who are vaccinated and boosted are in a bit of denial at times about their risk for getting infected, so they may have several home test kits available, but are not using them when perhaps they should be, in part due to lack of risk perception and in part due to not wanting to deal with a positive result if they or a visitor or friend tests positive. I realize that this is an art, and not an exact science. 4. You mentioned a few weeks ago an antigen rapid home test kit was good for 15 months past the manufacturing date. On May 6 I received a new box containing 5 tests. The free tests were ordered from the government's website. • Outside the box: Use by 2022-07-01 i • Test card: Refer to outer packaging for expiration date • Swab: Manufacturing date: 2022-01-04 • Swab: Expiration date: 2025-01-03 • Vials: Use by 2024-01-07 Thank you for clarifying! 5. Please fill us in about the chances that cases where Paxlovid is taken, may result in a rebound case with symptoms and confirmed by testing. 6. After having a sore throat for 4 days, testing negative each morning, I tested positive on Sunday 5/15 after 3 weeks of coughing phlegm that began during a trip out of state, and at that time received a phone alert that I had been in contact with a known Covid case. Despite being Moderna vaxxed and boosted, for the past week my case has been pretty severe. My questions are • Could my case have resulted from the 3-week in the past exposure? • Is it possible that I may have contracted an earlier strain, such as the original Covid-19, or the Delta variant? • How do we know the earlier strains are gone, when a new variant takes over as prevalent? Question for Willie Bence: 1. Have you made any progress in securing more heat shelters for Jefferson County? As we remember vividly, there were none in Port Townsend during the terrible heat wave last June, the "Heat Dome", which lasted over three days and was particularly unbearable for those of us who are older residents. Unlike a spectacular emergency, such as earthquake, fire or tsunami, it is silent but can be deadly. Last week the U. S. Health and Human Services agency warned of the possibility of another such heat wave for western states this summer. They also said to expect average seasonal temperatures to be 2 to 4 degrees above normal. 2 Julie Shannon From: Greg Brotherton Sent: Friday, May 20, 2022 9:22 AM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW:Yesterday's webinar and links From: Lynn Fiorillo-Lowe Sent: Friday, May 20, 2022 8:59:37 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: WSAC_All Members Cc: ACHS Subject: FW: Yesterday's webinar and links ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

May 20, 2022 fro Friciqy COUNTY NEWS Best Practices for Allocating A ' 'A Fun • ing in Small and id-Sized Counties On April 30th, 2022, all 39 Counties in Washington State submitted a plan for spending funds allocated to them by the American Rescue Plan Act. As counties around the state have begun formalizing plans, two key strategies have materialized for small and midsize counties. • Lost Public Sector Revenue: Any activity allowed under one of the four allowable expense categories also qualifies under the revenue replacement category. This means that it is almost always in small and midsize counties' best interests to allocate funding to the "lost public sector revenue category" for ease of reporting, regardless of the specific activity the funding will be used for. • One-Time Capital Expenses: For many counties, ARPA funding represents an unprecedented opportunity to invest in large capital projects. Counties around our state have done just that with their early allocations by addressing long-standing facilities issues, upgrading network infrastructure, and investing in affordable housing. For more information on ARPA funds and a link to Treasury's guidance, visit our coronavirus response and recovery page. ARPA-related questions can be directed to WSAC's Policy Analyst, Curtis Steinhauer, at csteinhauer@wsac.org.

The ruling is one step toward a final Washington state determination on whether the wind farm will be permitted. Benton County had argued that the site is not consistent with its comprehensive plan's agricultural zone because it would not preserve and protect prime agricultural land.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZA IS SPREDING ACCROSS THE NATION AND IS NOW IN WASHINGTON. WE DO NOT HAVE IT AT CVAR! WE WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY! Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) is a highly contagious virus that affects all species of birds - wild birds, as well as domestics such as poultry and waterfowl. It also has to potential to affect our indoor birds and even our emus. The Washington State Department of II, 3 Agriculture will euthanize all birds on site if we get one positive bird at CVAR. Because of this, we are currently not open for tours and will not be accepting any birds, domestic or wild. We will still be adopting birds out. We are working to keep all our residents safe as well as our wildlife. Some of the symptoms include but are not limited to: • Bluish skin or legs • Nasal and eye discharge • Blood-tinged nasal or eye discharge • Tilting head • Lack of coordination • Depressed/ruffled feathers • Sudden death Neurologic symptoms are most common. Incubation periods are short, and birds have been known to die within 1-2 days of contacting !� it. Not all birds will become sick, and some may be carriers (contagious) with no one knowing they have it. They are normally contagious for a week but can spread HPAI for up to 21 days. The disease can easily live in cold water for a few weeks and on inanimate objects for a few days. It is easily killed by household disinfectants. HPAI can affect humans, although very unlikely 2 people have been reported getting the disease while working with infected birds. We can't stop wild birds from flying overhead and at times even flying into pens but we will do the best we can to not encourage this. There is no way we can completely eliminate the risk of HPAI but we are going to do our best to limit the liability. Thank you all for your help in keeping our birds safe! 4 , , \t,,,,,,t,, V hs. . ‘' ' it - ',. ‘ki-i,i4,40 i, .Itli.iO4., s i , v.to, , 4 a i 'Q \iir. ✓ fist" a.. t i 0 ,ill iidV s w , i , , „ „t„,..,,, ,,,-4 y ,;:tcl, ?".....*, ' 4.\,\\%, 1 s '''''," ,—t,L;;;.,,i;-**,).i,,;:\\-,,, - 441 ( a° t ' 0,:tt, ,,,t, ," ' . . „" ., - ,- k ,'%€ , / pl!,e,,,',t , lt,,,,, , cs .. , , , ,-...1/4,, ei„•41 4 > v\i k s y 3 % 4 del t 6 , , • . ilk ° .t" ,,.

We're talking delays associated with the bridge closed to vehicle traffic for boats. It might happen once a day. Sometimes several times a day. That's especially true in summer. And they can leave people stuck for up to an hour each time. Why? We are required by federal law to close the bridge for marine traffic. Boats get the right of way. But not all boats are the same and not all need the bridge to open. In those cases, the regulations require mariners to navigate under the truss spans of the bridge whenever possible. Mariners should not request draw span passage if their vertical clearance is enough to use elevated areas of the bridge. But how do you know if you can fit? Great question. All vessel operators must know their mast height. Truss heights (smallest vertical clearances at s. Mean High Water) clearances vary based on tides and wave activity. Jefferson County (west) measures 31 feet • Kitsap County (east) measures 50 feet Requesting an unneeded draw span opening is q g a reportable offense to the United States Coast A look at the elevation portion of the Guard and needlessly jams up traffic across the Hood Canal Bridge on the Jefferson County side during high tide. bridge. 2 For more information click HERIE Visit the Village Council Web Site Your Village Council is a 501(c)(3)non-profit corporation whose purpose is to be a unifying force and information conduit for the benefit of all Port Ludlow residents.

Under Operation Fly Formula, USDA and the Department of Health and Human Services(HHS) are authorized to use DOD-contracted commercial aircraft to pick up overseas infant formula that meets U.S.health and safety standards, so it can get to store shelves faster. The Operation Fly Formula shipments will transport the equivalent of up to 1.5 million 8-ounce bottles of three formulas—Alfamino®Infant,Alfamino®Junior, and Gerber Good Start® Extensive HA—all of which are hypoallergenic formulas for children with cow's milk protein allergy.These formulas have been prioritized because they serve a critical medical purpose and are in short supply in the United States because of the Abbott Sturgis plant closure.These shipments will include approximately 246 pallets.

President Biden's Statement on Record-Low State Unemployment Rates FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 20, 2022 Statement from President Biden on Record-Low State Unemployment Rates Americans across the country are back to work at a historic level. Right now,workers in Alabama,Alaska, Arizona,Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky,Minnesota,Mississippi,Montana,Nebraska, South Dakota,Tennessee,Utah,West Virginia, and Wisconsin are less likely to be unemployed than in any other time on record.The unemployment rate did not increase in any of our 5o states. This news comes on the heels of new data showing that the number of Americans who are forced to rely on unemployment insurance programs for their support fell to its lowest level in over 52 years and that the economy has added more than 8 million jobs since I took office—more jobs on average per month than under any other President in history. This job creation is no accident—it's the direct result of my economic plan to rebuild the economy from the bottom up and the middle out through the historic American Rescue Plan and a nationwide vaccination 12 strategy.There is more work to do to build an economy that works for all Americans.Tackling inflation is my top priority. But we cannot lose sight of the fact that millions of workers are now able to better provide for themselves and their families and enjoy the dignity that a good-paying job provides.

Thanks to the Fort Worden PDA,the styrofoam is packed and stored at the Fort Worden Battery 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.

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. 18 Local 20/2o Mission Working together toward local sustainability and resilience—integrating ecology, economy and community through action and education.

Debra: What is the status of the "Short Property Restoration" to date? I sent a registered letter to DCD detailing those violations in September of 2017. On February 12, 2021 [3 1/2 years later] you finally sent a "Notice of Violation - Unauthorized work in critical areas and within shoreline jurisdiction". On April 1, 2021 you sent another "Notice of Violation - Unauthorized work in critical areas and within shoreline jurisdiction". On June 22, 2021 you sent a "Notice of Violation & Order of Abatement" --- "Compliance must be achieved by September 1st, 2021" and "Failure to respond may result in daily fines of $250/per day." On May 2, 2022 [5 years later] you sent me an email blaming the Department of Fish and Wildlife for failing to resolve this environmental mess. I drove by the Short property on Sunday May 22, 2022, and can confirm that those creeks have still not been restored. Questions: 1 1. 1. Has the County collected the $250/per day fines since June 22, 2021? 2. What is the County's latest excuse for failing to enforce the code violations? I look forward to your response.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Good very early morning commissioners, staff, and future citizens researching the history of Jefferson County, Yes,this stuff keeps me up at night and gets me up very early in the morning. When is it ever the correct practice to knowingly do the wrong thing and then be forced to correct your behavior after the fact, despite causing permanent and irrevocable damage? DNR continues to knowingly cut forests in violation of their own policy.They continue to whine that they have invested too much effort into pursuing the wrong approach and it is too late or too expensive to stop pursuing the wrong harvest. Seriously?! Why should they expect our sympathy or support for this corrupt, shortsighted,juvenile,errant behavior? The obvious and simple answer here is that they have plenty of other suitable inventory to harvest and they should select another forest to harvest.They put themselves in this pickle by deliberately selecting a forest they knew was not ripe for harvest. Penny Wise may have been ripe 100 years ago, but it is not ripe today. I don't care that DNR has incurred expenses in their attempt to harvest a forest they knowingly pursued while being aware that that pursuit was in violation. I don't think they should be rewarded or reimbursed for this expense or behavior. Maybe if we decline to bend over for the extortion then they will get the message that they need to change their behavior and act like adults with responsibilities and duties to more than taking in the cash at all costs. Extortion is not a good foundation for a relationship and we should not be conducting the affairs of the county while pressured by another governmental agency which should be acting in our best interests.This abusive relationship needs a marriage counselor or a divorce. Forests, environment,future generations be damned....we want that cash right now! Is that an acceptable practice and how will history look upon us if it is? How much smack do we talk about the forest practices of the past?! The temporary inconvenience of selecting another forest which is presently ripe for harvest far outweighs the damage which will be caused by disregarding the value of these legacy forests for sake of a short term and one-time cash cow. I implore you to do the right thing and take the high road. Put a stop to this right now, permanently.Our children will thank you for it.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. I'm back, This board operates as a whole in nearly all things. Each of our commissioners are elected by the county,as a whole.This structure is designed to yield a collaborative board. You serve us best when you embrace and embody this doctrine. I want you to remember that. It bothers me when I hear one commissioner express a sentiment that they will take a back seat to a decision because the issue is not in their district.This particularly bothers me when I know full well that this is an area of expertise of the other commissioners who think they should, for some reason,take a back seat. Each of you are equals. Each of you has connections within this county as a whole. Each of you have specialties, of course, but you also share many overlapping experiences. We rely on you to bring your localized expertise to the deliberations but we also rely on you to bring your advocacy of the whole county to the deliberations. It is impossible for any one of you to know everything but together,your comprehension is benefited by your collaboration and the county is well served when you work together. The perspectives of the commissioner within the district with the issue du jour are valuable, I agree. I do not necessarily agree that those perspectives are more relevant than the perspectives of the other 2 commissioners. We elect you because we trust your judgment and we expect you to collaborate.We do not expect you to act as if you are in silos. The issue of legacy forests and DNR's management is far too important and long-lasting for any of you to think that your input is in any way less important than one another's.The arbitrary district boundary lines are irrelevant, particularly when I know that your vast experience with this issue has so much value and the impacts will be ripples in the pond of history. I beg you to dispense with this mindset and embrace your wisdom.

I am writing to you today to urge you to support the recent proposal to reconvey high priority legacy forest land parcels managed by DNR on behalf of Jefferson County, including those proposed for harvest as part of the Beaver Valley and Penny Wise timber sales. We support a balanced approach to the management of our public forests. Unfortunately, management of state forest lands in East Jefferson County and the Straits has fallen far out of balance. Despite commitments to restore older forests described in DNR's Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), and DNR's Policy for Sustainable Forests, which guides the management of forests on state trust lands; fully functional forests, as defined in the HCP, compose well under 1% of forests managed by DNR(Figures 1, 2, and 3)1. Older forests, as defined in DNR's Policy for Sustainable Forests, compose less than 2% of state trust lands in the Straits HCP planning unit as a whole, according to DNR's own analysis (Figure 3).2 DNR claims that they manage half of all state forest lands for conservation. This simply isn't true. DNR manages approximately 127,400 acres of forest land in the Straits HCP planning unit. According to DNR's own forest inventory data, 75% of those lands been commercially logged within the past 60 years.3 It is true that approximately 36% of lands managed by DNR in the Straits HCP planning unit are currently excluded from commercial harvest, but the excluded acres are composed primarily of stream buffers. 'According to the HCP and 1997 Intraservice Biological Opinion for the HCP,at least 150 years is required for a stand to enter the fully functional stage of development. 2 See DNR,2021. Identifying Stands to Meet Older Forest Targets in Western Washington,Allen Estep and Mike Buffo,p. 11,Table 4. 3 Based on FRIS 4.0 polygon data,updated March,2022. 1 There are only about 14,000 acres of upland forest excluded from commercial harvest within the Straits HCP planning unit, and at least half those acres are occupied by younger plantation o 14 forests 4 Figure 1.

We define legacy forests as mature forests that were selectively logged prior to World War II and left to grow back on their own (naturally regenerated). These rare forests generally exhibit similar characteristics to those in the "structurally complex" stages of stand development, as defined by DNR.5 Legacy forests are different from plantation forests in a number of ways. The most obvious difference is that the trees in legacy forests are larger. Often, the largest trees found in legacy forests were understory trees that were left behind when the forest was last logged. Large trees play a critical ecological role, offering niche habitats for wildlife. Micro-habitat diversity has been demonstrated to increase with increasing tree diameter. Bark structures such as bark pockets, bark pockets with decay, and bowls in the bark can support a diverse array of fungi, lichens, and invertebrate species.

They commonly contain multiple canopy layers, composed of a wide variety of trees of different sizes. Gaps in the overstory canopy allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, creating a complex mosaic of different plant communities composed of a diverse variety of small trees, shrubs and wildflowers. Large volumes of downed wood, and standing dead trees, were also commonly left behind when these forests were logged during the first half of the 20th century. These features, which were routinely removed or burned in forests that were logged in the latter half of the century, provide critical habitat for many species, and represent "legacies" of the original forests. Legacy forests are reservoirs of genetic and biological diversity. The large legacy trees, old rotted out snags, and large quantities of downed wood in legacy forests together support a diverse array of species of plants, invertebrates, lichens, mushrooms, and other fungi. Tree species diversity and structural complexity are very high in legacy forests, and the habitat requirements of most wildlife species are likely to be met in these forests. According to Carey (2009), forests that were selectively logged more than 100 years ago often resemble forests that emerged following natural disturbances such as wildfires or severe wind storms, and may support hundreds of lesser known species of snails, fungi, and invertebrates that are absent in managed forests.' The deep organic soils often support a wide variety of soil microbes, cryptogams, and other lesser known taxa that play critical roles in processes such as nutrient cycling and pollination. Numerous studies have shown that many species require structurally complex forests for some or all of their life history requirements (Zobrist and Hinckley, 2005).7 The South Puget Sound Forest Land Plan lists 26 vertebrates that are specifically associated with or dependent on older, structurally complex forests on state trust lands in the South Puget Sound HCP planning unit alone. Brown (1985) listed 70 species in western Washington and Oregon that primarily use structurally complex forests for breeding, which suggests that more species require structurally complex forest stages for breeding than any of the other stand development stages.' Legacy forests can also contribute to the productivity of working forests or plantations. For example, small mammals including voles, shrews, and squirrels that find refuge in older forests may disseminate spores of miycorrhizal fungi to forests managed for timber production. Natural parasites and predators found in legacy forests may also play an important role in preventing or limiting pest outbreaks in managed stands. 'Carey,Andrew B.2009. Maintaining Biodiversity in Managed Forests,in Old Growth in a New World, Island Press: 58-69. Zobrist,Kevin W.,and Hinckley,Thomas M.2005. Increased Biodiversity in Intensively Managed Loblolly Pine Plantations,Final Technical Report to the National Commission on Science for Sustainable Forestry(NCSSF). $Brown, E.R. (Ed.). 1985. Management of Wildlife and Fish Habitats in Forests of Western Oregon and Washington. USDA Forest Service,Pacific Northwest Region, Portland,Oregon. 5 There is still much we do not understand about legacy forests and the role that they play in preserving genetic and biological diversity. According to Lindenmayer and Franklin (2002):9 "Effects of human disturbance on biodiversity are poorly known, and some impacts may be irreversible. Others such as synergistic and cumulative effects can be extremely difficult to quantify or predict.... (and]for some species will probably never be known... Ultimately, this makes large ecological reserves valuable as 'safety nets' relatively free from human disturbance." It is well past time to conserve the legacy forests that remain. Most old growth and legacy forests were clearcut, sprayed with herbicides, and re-planted with nursery-grown Douglas fir seedlings during the latter half of the 20th century, and are currently managed as tree plantations. The few remaining lowland legacy forest remnants that survived have been disappearing at an alarming rate over the past two years. Modeling suggests that only about 2,700 acres of naturally regenerated second-growth forest are left on lands managed by DNR in East Jefferson County. As we learned last week, DNR currently has plans to commercially harvest about 1,200 acres, or close to half of all remaining legacy forests in East Jefferson County over the next five years. The Penny Wise and Beaver Valley timber sales are located in areas where there are virtually no other natural forests remaining. In the LiDAR image, they appear as islands, surrounded by recent clearcuts (Figures 5 and 6). These areas have high potential ecological value for the reasons cited above, and should have been excluded from commercial logging. DNR forest inventory records reveal that there are thousands of acres of plantation forests on the east side of Jefferson County alone that are currently available for harvest. Instead, DNR has scheduled these older legacy forests for auction in a misguided attempt to maximize short-term revenue. To be clear, the choice to target these stands for harvest was a choice that was made by DNR, has little to do with science, and demonstrates a clear lack of innovation, leadership, and adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Legacy forests cannot be "grown back" or replaced by manipulating younger plantation forests, or re-planting logged-over areas with a mix of different species of conifers. Clearing the forest and re-planting it with densely spaced nursery-grown seedlings fundamentally changes the character of the land the forest ecosystem. It is imperative that DNR protect all remaining legacy forests to meet its legal commitments to restore older and fully functional forests within the Straits HCP planning unit, which includes East Jefferson County.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Please bring this to the attention of those responsible for your organization's Zoom meetings that are held as public meetings and are subject to the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA), Chapter 42.30 RCW. Currently, to attend one of your public meetings, a person is required to register their name and email address (see attached PDF). On June 1, 2022 the OPMA will go back into full effect because our Governor's Proclamation 20-28 will have been rescinded. The OPMA states: RCW 42.30.040 Conditions to attendance not to be required. A member of the public shall not be required, as a condition to attendance at a meeting of a governing body, to register his or her name and other information, to complete a questionnaire, or otherwise to fulfill any condition precedent to his or her attendance. [ 2012 c 117 § 124; 1971 ex.s. c 250 § 4.] So, when your organization requires an attendee to register their name and email address simply to attend a public meeting, that is a clear violation of the OPMA.

Good afternoon commissioners, staff, and citizens of the future, Well, it looks like they are at it again and with more tone deafness and fervor than before. When shown a conflict, instead of pausing to accept the opportunity to perfect their practice, DNR seems more apt to double down and unnecessarily inflame the tension. At this point, I think it is appropriate to question the motivations of DNR and every claim they make. I am losing trust and respect for that agency every time I hear their latest thrust. I continue to discover false claims, misrepresented statistics, incorrect information, sneaky tactics, less than honest representation of the situation and many other criticisms from which I will abstain articulation at this juncture. I think you catch my drift and I will not insult your obvious intelligence or tireless diligence by spelling it out here. Suffice it to say, I have the utmost confidence in your leadership and judgement. I have repeatedly observed your deliberations with difficult subjects and my opinion of your dutiful and exhaustive strategies is that it will yield assessment similar to my own on this subject. If my less than subtle criticisms have not yet dawned on you the cause of my harsh words, be patient and you will soon see what got under my skin this time.There is a report in your inboxes which will illuminate your understanding of my ire.

Commissioner Franz, Please see attached letter from Northwest Watershed Institute and Olympic Forest Coalition regarding conservation of the few remaining Legacy Forests on state lands in East Jefferson County. Regards, Peter Bahls, Executive Director Pronouns—he/him/his Northwest Watershed Institute 3407 Eddy Street Port Townsend, WA 98368 Cell: 360-821-9566 www.nwwatershed.org 1 4 ' For` Northwest Coalition Watershed Institute Hilary Franz, Commissioner of Public Lands Washington Department of Natural Resources MS 47001 Olympia, WA 98504-7001 May 23, 2022 Re: Legacy Forest conservation in Jefferson County Dear Commissioner Franz: We are very concerned about DNR's planned logging of most of the remaining Legacy Forests on state lands in Eastern Jefferson County. Legacy Forests are defined as naturally regenerated, structurally complex forests, which are becoming increasing rare across the state.These Legacy Forests are strongholds for fish, wildlife and other native and at-risk species that depend on older forest habitats, are popular for public use and recreation, maintain the health of the larger forest landscape, protect water quality and store significant carbon. Fully functional forests, as defined in DNR's Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), compose well under 1%of forests managed by DNR in eastern Jefferson County;while older forests, as defined in DNR's Policy for Sustainable Forests, compose less than 2%of state trust lands in the Straits HCP planning unit as a whole, according to DNR's own analysis. Under the HCP and Policy for Sustainable Forests (PR 140004-046) DNR is obligated to prepare a forest plan to achieve 10-15% older forest targets (PR 14-004-46); with harvest of older forests only after the target is met. Yet the agency is operating under no such plan for the Straits District and the analysis to date indicates the agency is not meeting its older forest targets (see May 23, 2022 letter to Mona Griswold from Center for Responsible Forestry). In East Jefferson County, recent mapping and assessment indicates that only 2,700 acres of Legacy Forest remain on state lands in East Jefferson County. About 1,400 of this remaining older forest is on 14,500 acres of Forest Board Transfer lands,which have mostly been converted to short rotation monoculture tree plantations. DNR plans to log nearly half of the Legacy Forest left on Forest Board lands within the next five years. We would like to find solutions that protect these Legacy Forests, so important to our communities, ecosystems, and natural heritage, without impacting the funds our junior taxing districts receive from timber sales. We are very encouraged by your Carbon Pilot Project to protect older forests with carbon offset funding. We hope to work closely with DNR to identify priority parcels in our county for this program. We also continue to explore reconveyance of Legacy Forests as a way to more effectively align conservation objectives while still providing support to the county's taxing districts through carbon credits, selective forestry, and other mechanisms. Finally, DNR's excellent work underway with a statewide committee to revitalize the Trust Land Transfer (TLT) process holds out hope that conservation lands can be protected while maintaining and even improving the financial returns to the county. However, these promising initiatives are still in progress. In addition, DNR is faced with several lawsuits regarding Legacy Forests that have bearing on the situation in East Jefferson County, including CRP vs. CPL Franz and CNW et al vs. CPL Franz. Finally, DNR is still in the process of developing its older forests policy.Thus, we think it would be premature to proceed with timber sales and timber sale planning that will liquidate remaining Legacy Forests in East Jefferson County and undercut these emerging solutions. Specifically, we request that the Pennywise and Beaver Valley sorts timber sale be put on hold for at least one year to evaluate options for management as DNR develops its carbon and TLT initiatives and the county further evaluates the economic, environmental, and management implications for reconveyance on these and other parcels. Secondly, we request that DNR cease timber sale planning for all remaining Legacy Forests in E. Jefferson County. We see no reason to spend tax payer funding on planning for timber sales that appear to violate DNR's own policies and may never be implemented. Third, we request that all of the Legacy Forests on state lands in East Jefferson County, approximately 2,700 acres identified by the Center for Responsible Forestry using lidar and DNR's combined origin forest resource inventory data, be considered for the Phase II carbon pilot program, as well as TLT options. Finally, we ask that DNR expand the Dabob Bay Natural Area boundaries as proposed in 2020 letters to you by 13 regional and statewide conservation organizations, shellfish businesses, Port Gamble S'Klallam and Jamestown S'Klallam Tribes, and hundreds of residents in area.This pro- active proposal could conserve about one-third of the at-risk Legacy Forest remaining in East Jefferson County while also compensating junior taxing districts through an improved TLT process that directly addresses Forest Board lands and potential carbon funding. Within the proposed Dabob Bay Natural Area are Legacy Forests that has been identified by DNR as the largest remaining occurrence of a globally imperiled Rhododendron forest remaining in the world; which DNR is obligated to protect under its existing polices. These rare forest types are adjoining other Legacy Forests that DNR has plans to log next year.The proposed Dabob Boundary expansion would allow DNR to use the new Trust Land Transfer program, possibly combined with carbon funding, to protect all of these types of Legacy Forest while providing better overall compensation to the county's junior taxing districts. We appreciate your consideration of these requests and look forward to working with you and your staff on these challenging issues.

I was appointed to Washingtons Carbon Sequestration Advisory Committee in 2018 and we looked at the data provided by both the DNR and the USFS. Our conclusions were similar to what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded when in their fourth Assessment Report they concluded, "In the long term, a sustainable forest management strategy aimed at maintaining or increasing forest carbon stocks, while producing an annual sustained yield of timber,fiber, or energy from the forest, will generate the largest sustained mitigation benefit."I would sum it up in even a more simple way: Good forestry is the best carbon management. As a professional forester, we try to try to achieve maximum growth potential on the acres we manage. For long term carbon sequestration, storage, and the overall built environment, building with wood products is the best strategy. So the best long-term sequestration and storage of carbon is in trees and the built environment when we build with wood. If we do not build with wood (vs. concrete, steel, or brick), we are choosing an alternative that uses more energy (and therefore releases more carbon to the atmosphere) to produce and deliver. If we choose to use wood to build, but would rather import it to the area rather than using the resources at hand, again we are not balancing the carbon equation and can do better. We have simply disguised the problem, and added to more carbon released through additional transportation or, depending on where on the globe we go to replace our wood products, may do additional damage through lower environmentally sensitive harvesting standards, and manufacturing inefficiencies. Here is a link to a website that you may be interested in. I have found it a very engaging site that can allow you to take a quick look at the forest/carbon issue, or a deep dive. All the back up data is also linked to the site so you can see where it all comes from. https://www.forestcarbondataviz.org/ I understand that there may be different concerns of harvesting "older"forests. The DNR has addressed that several times in the past to the point where now approximately 50%of all DNR managed lands are removed from any active forest management activities. The Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), Policy for Sustainable Forests, Long-term Strategy for the Marbled Murrelet,Sustainable Harvest Calculation, and for Jefferson County the Olympic Experimental State 1 Forest- Forest Land Plan. All of these documents went through a SEPA process and govern and protect the state trust lands. The lands that are to remain as working forests have already been assessed on many levels. Additionally, all these lands are managed under strict adherence to the WA Forest Practice Act. If you have time, I would like the opportunity to meet with you and provide you with more information, or to answer any questions you may have of me, Sierra Pacific Industries, or forestry in general. I know with your Special meeting next week,time is short, but I can be very flexible the rest of this week if you have any openings. I look forward to hearing back from you and hopefully meeting soon.

Hello commissioners, staff, and citizens of the future, What I'm asking of the commissioners is to demonstrate courage despite the difficulties of the circumstances. Isn't that what leadership is about? Courage to have foresight and think of the long-term implications. Courage to leave the planet better than we found it for the benefit of future generations. Courage to stand up to the pressure to take the short-term and unnecessary gains of cutting trees which should not be harvested and courage to select a harvest which is consistent with the purported policy of DNR despite the short-term delay. Don't drive the Right Whale to the brink of extinction to fuel your gas lamps. We are better than that.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Jefferson Commissioners, This message is to support the management of state forest transfer trust lands in Jefferson County.As working forests, sustainable timber harvests from these lands provide important funding for fire departments, schools, and community services and supports thousands of jobs.The timber outputs of sustainable management from the State Forests will continue to provide family wage careers for rural communities of Washington. It cannot be forgotten as well sustainable management will provide positive outcomes such as forest resilience,forest restoration,fuels management and equal and equitable access for all.We have seen an evolution of values communities have on stable work environments and the result on the social fabric within those. For example, in some rural communities(where much of the commercial timber harvest takes place)there is a growing focus on results from deteriorating family wage jobs and the negative impacts to society where the promise of these jobs being replaced by other industries, such as recreation, never materialized.These concerns are further reflected in the growing political challenge of supporting families in these communities where high unemployment rates are a direct result of the deterioration of all industry. There are many communities that have lost their local employment base and have turned into second home communities for people from urban areas like Seattle. In these areas specifically, unemployment is up, crime is up, poverty is up,and real estate values continue to climb creating a massive wealth gap with the residents and those recreating from urban areas. There are very few jobs left that can justify the cost of living in these rural communities and little hope of any good times ahead. It is also important to note that for many of Washington's small, natural resources based local economies,efforts(both federal and state assisted)to"transition"timber-dependent communities to services industries, including recreation and tourism, have been major failures in creating economic opportunity, equity,diversity, and inclusion. Social, economic, and educational indices show significant inequality in quality-of-life metrics between rural and urban Washington communities. Growing forests and expanding the use carbon-storing wood products is internationally recognized as a practical solution to reducing carbon emissions. Half of the dry weight of wood is carbon and renewable wood products can replace less environmentally friendly materials like concrete and steel. It also helps meet our need for wood products at a time we face a housing affordability crisis. Further reducing sustainable timber harvests here in Washington by setting aside more state trust lands as"carbon reserves"will not only result in reduced funding for public services, but it will also lead to increased imports of wood products from other countries, including those with illegal logging and weak environmental protections. Importing more wood products eliminates any short-term carbon emission reductions associated with these carbon reserves. Please don't support proposals to shut down our state-managed working forests.Thank you.

There are a lot of well-written articles and books on healthy soil and regenerative farming, but here are just a few we're digging right now: i The Dirt on Soil Article Series Multiple Authors Our editors at Resilience are curating a list of excellent articles on healthy soil and regenerative farming. ': u .41 The Key to Saving Family Farms is in the Soil David Montgomery 4100 Farmers adopting regenerative agricultural practices across the Midwest are restoring the health of the soil and of their rural economies. Regenerative Agriculture Can Play a Key Role in Combatting Climate Change Nuna Teal,et al. A growing consensus is emerging among soil scientists that regenerative agriculture—agricultural practices that remove carbon from the atmosphere and put it back in the soil—could deliver a huge win for the climate. Growing a Revolution David Montgomery For centuries,agricultural practices have eroded the soil that farming depends on,stripping it of the organic matter vital to its productivity. Now conventional agriculture is threatening disaster for the world's growing population. In Growing a Revolution, geologist David R. Montgomery travels the world, meeting farmers at the forefront of an agricultural movement to restore soil health. 2 WHAT: The Dirt on Soil—Online Event Series DATE: Thursdays—June 16 and 23, 2022 TIME: 11:00 AM PT/ 2:00 PM ET/ 6:00 GMT COST: FREE REGISTER NOW It's really hard to choose just a handful of informative videos about soil health and regenerative agriculture, but here's our best attempt at a short list: WHAT IS REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE t� a 3 Regenerative agriculture can help us fight the impacts of climate change while restoring ecosystems,water and carbon cycles,and spurring economic growth. But what is regenerative agriculture? How Regenerative Farming Can Help Combat the Climate Crisis � 1 s , s F� 1 Auk 5:� ,400 Regenerative farming uses the same space to grow different crops during changing seasons, bypassing the use of traditional machines for tilling and instead incorporating the use of livestock and cover cropping to enrich the soil.

America's 3,069 counties are essential players in the nation's intergovernmental system, which balances, divides and shares authority and responsibilities among all levels of government. Counties actively address local issues and needs across areas such as health and human services, infrastructure,justice and public safety. 2 UNTIE STATE FAR ERA TR I AL AND LUUAL COUNTIES PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN OUR NATION'S INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK From building and maintaining roads and bridges to providing efficient transit systems, counties are a driving force connecting communities and strengthening our economy. Annually, counties invest $134 billion in building, maintaining and operating physical infrastructure and public works. Counties are involved in broadband deployment and lead across other critical infrastructure, such as hospitals,jails, courthouses and parks. Breakdown of ownership of public infrastructure by county 45 PERCENT as PERCENT 40 PERCENT T 34 PERCENT OF PUBLIC. OF THE ATIONA OF TRANSIT OF AIRPORTS ROAD MILES [(HIRE INVENTORY AGENCIES COUNTIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE: • Counties own and maintain 45 percent of public road miles and 38 percent of the 605,000 bridges that compose the national bridge inventory. Annually, counties invest $30.3 billion in the maintenance, operation, repair, and construction of roads, bridges, and toll and non-toll highways. • Counties are involved in 40 percent of transit agencies, investing more than $23 billion in operation, maintenance and construction of transit utilities and public mass transit systems, including subways, surface rail and buses. 3 • Counties are involved in operating 34 percent of airports, investing more than $6 billion in the provision, operation, construction and support of airport facilities. On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P.L. 117-58), officially enacting the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The BIL provides $973 billion over five years from FY 2022 through FY 2026, including$550 billion in new investments for all modes of transportation, water, power and energy, environmental remediation, public lands, broadband and resilience. This is a significant victory for counties, who worked closely with our partners in Congress throughout the legislative process to ensure county priorities were included. Read NACo's Legislative Analysis for Counties:The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. COUNTIES PLAY AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN PROTECTING, PROMOTING AND IMPROVING COMMUNITY HEALTH Counties contribute to the health and well-being of residents by running local health departments, providing health care for low-income and uninsured residents and developing community health care programs.

Each year, counties invest $62.8 billion to serve as a safety net for millions of residents and deliver vital services to our nation's most vulnerable populations. COUNTIES ARE THE BACKBONE OF THE JUSTICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY SYSTEM Counties play a significant role in two distinct areas of justice and public safety: emergency response and preparedness, and the criminal justice system. Counties invest $107 billion in justice and public safety annually. $213' � TO OPERATE ' ��" IN COUNTY 1 COURTS AND CORRECTIONAL LEGAL SERVICES FACILITIES $42B TO SUPPORT 2,961 POLICE 3' AND SHERIFF DEPARTMENTS ry $1S.3B'N IN FIRE PROTECTION: ACTIVITIES COUNTIES AND JUSTICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY: • Counties play a major role in the criminal justice system, operating 91 percent of local jails, which processes over 8 million admissions each year.

Counties must report on the Project and Expenditure Report any program income that a project generates. This income includes fees received for services, proceeds from renting property acquired using Fiscal Recovery Funds, and interest on loans made with Recovery Funds. Program income is subject to restrictions on use outlined in the Uniform Guidance, which states that counties must deduct program income from their overall award contribution (2 CFR 200.307). What types of administrative expenses are eligible uses of Fiscal Recovery Funds? Counties can use Recovery Funds to cover reasonable administrative costs, such as hiring a consultant to verify a county's compliance with the Final Rule. The Uniform 9 Guidance outlines general considerations for determining whether administrative costs are reasonable. These considerations include whether the cost is ordinary and necessary for a county's administration of the award, whether the cost is close to market price for comparable services, and whether the county followed its established policies regarding incurrence of costs (2 CFR 200.404). • ASK YOUR QUESTION • NACo's ARPA RECOVERY FUND RESOURCES NATIONAL ASSOCLATION seCOUNTIES 660 North Capitol Street,NW,Suite 400 Washington,D.C.20001 f in + Did someone forward you this email?Sign up to stay up-to-date on topics affecting America's counties!

Building Climate Resilience on the Olympic Peninsula: Land Resilience Study The Olympic Peninsula has been known for millennia as a place of extraordinary natural beauty and abundance. Today, its forests, farms, and wildlife habitat are facing stresses from a changing climate. Fortunately, there are responsible steps we can take right now to support the safety and wellbeing of the ecosystems, habitats, and communities on which we depend. That's why, in 2020, Jefferson Land Trust partnered with Clallam County's North Olympic Land Trust to conduct a Land Resilience Study, which is helping both organizations with land protection and management decisions. 2 "We know that land trusts have a role to play �> in mitigating climate change, and this study gives us another tool that helps us prioritize the work we're doing to keep our communities sustainable and resilient," explains Richard Tucker, Executive Director of Jefferson Land Trust. Working with an expert GIS contractor Core GIS, along with the best available spatial planning data and science, we looked deeply at our land base to identify the places likely to retain features that suggest continued resiliency as our summers become hotter and drier, and our winters become warmer and wetter. For example, we looked closely at forested and agricultural lands that sequester carbon and retain moisture, other natural lands that have particularly diverse topography and are within known wildlife corridors, and open space near our population centers. "In order to adapt to the changing climate, we need to focus on protecting those areas that will help us build a resilient community now and into the future," Richard says. "We can now target areas for protection based on the information gleaned from this study."

Greetings Commissioners I am forwarding the attached article as a concerned citizen of Jefferson County regarding the legacy forest preservation issue you all have been discussing recently. It addresses several comments commonly made to support logging older, biodiverse forests. The article itself is only 2 pages long-an easy read. There are 11 pages of notable signatories and references. Good luck in your deliberations, -Cyndy Bratz Port Townsend,WA 1 To: Rep. Kathy Castor, Chair, House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis Rep. Frank Pallone, Chair, House Energy and Commerce Committee Rep. Raul Grijalva, Chair, House Natural Resources Committee Rep. Collin Peterson, Chair, House Agriculture Committee Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Chair, Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources Sen. John Barrasso, Chair, Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works From: Scientists concerned about climate and biodiversity impact of logging Date: June 2020 Dear Members of Congress, As forest and climate change scientists and experts, we are writing to urge you to oppose legislative proposals that would promote logging and wood consumption, ostensibly as a natural climate change solution, based on claims that these represent an effective carbon storage approach, or claims that biomass logging, and incinerating trees for energy, represents renewable, carbon-neutral energy. We find no scientific evidence to support increased logging to store more carbon in wood products, such as dimensional lumber or cross-laminated timber(CLT) for tall buildings, as a natural climate solution. The growing consensus of scientific findings is that, to effectively mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, we must not only move beyond fossil fuel consumption but must also substantially increase protection of our native forests in order to absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere and store more,not less, carbon in our forests (Depro et al. 2008, Harris et al. 2016, Woodwell 2016, Erb et al. 2018, IPCC 2018, Law et al. 2018, Harmon 2019, Moomaw et al. 2019). Furthermore, the scientific evidence does not support the burning of wood in place of fossil fuels as a climate solution. Current science finds that burning trees for energy produces even more CO2 than burning coal, for equal electricity produced(Sterman et al. 2018), and the considerable accumulated carbon debt from the delay in growing a replacement forest is not made up by planting trees or wood substitution(noted below). We need to increase growing forests to more rapidly close the gap between emissions and removal of CO2 by forests, while we simultaneously lower emissions from our energy, industrial and agricultural sectors. In your deliberations on this serious climate change issue, we encourage you to consider the following: ■ The logging and wood products industries suggest that most of the carbon in trees that are logged and removed from forests will simply be stored in CLT and other wood products for buildings instead of being stored in forest ecosystems. However, this is clearly incorrect. Up to 40% of the harvested material does not become forest products and is burned or decomposes quickly, and a majority of manufacturing waste is burned for heat. One study found that 65% of the carbon from Oregon forests logged over the past 115 years remains in the atmosphere, and just 19% is stored in long-lived products. The remainder is in landfills (Hudiburg et al. 2019). • Logging in U.S. forests emits 617 million tons of CO2 annually (Harris et al. 2016). Further, logging involves transportation of trucks and machinery across long distances between the forest and the mill. For every ton of carbon emitted from logging, an additional 17.2% (106 million tons of CO2) is emitted from fossil fuel consumption to support transportation, extraction, and processing of wood (Ingerson 2007). In fact,the annual CO2 emissions from logging in U.S. forests are comparable to yearly U.S. emissions from the residential and commercial sectors combined.' The cumulative climate change impact of logging in the U.S. is even higher, since logging causes substantial reductions in carbon sequestration and storage potential in forests due to soil compaction and nutrient removal, and these combined impacts can often reduce forest carbon storage potential by 30% or more (e.g., Elliott et al. 1996, Walmsley et al. 2009). ■ The wood products industry claims that substituting wood for concrete and steel reduces the overall carbon footprint of buildings. However, this claim has been refuted by more recent analyses that reveal forest industries have been using unrealistic and erroneous assumptions in their models, overestimating the long-term mitigation benefits of substitution by 2 to 100-fold (Law et al. 2018, Harmon 2019). The climate impact of wood is even worse if the reduced forest carbon sequestration and storage caused by nutrient loss and soil compaction from logging is included, as discussed above. In countless public communications, and at numerous Congressional hearings, industry representatives have advocated for increased logging in the context of reducing wildland fire and related emissions. While small-tree thinning can reduce fire intensity when coupled with burning of slash debris (e.g., Perry et al. 2004, Strom and Fuld 2007)under very limited conditions, recent evidence shows intensive forest management characterized by young trees and homogenized fuels burn at higher severity(Zald& Dunn 2018). Further,the extremely low probability(less than'%, Schoennagel et al. 2017) of thinned sites encountering a fire where thinning has occurred limits the effectiveness of such activities to forested areas near homes. Troublingly,to make thinning operations economically attractive to logging companies, commercial logging of larger, more fire-resistant trees often occurs across large areas. Importantly, mechanical thinning results in a substantial net loss of forest carbon storage, and a net increase in carbon emissions that can substantially exceed those of wildfire emissions (Hudiburg et al. 2013, Campbell et al. 2012). Reduced forest protections and increased logging tend to make wildland fires burn more intensely (Bradley et al. 2016). This can also occur with commercial thinning, where mature trees are removed(Cruz et al. 2008, Cruz et al. 2014). As an example, logging in U.S. forests emits 10 times more carbon than fire and native insects combined(Harris et al. 2016). And,unlike logging, fire cycles nutrients and helps increase new forest growth. We are hopeful that a new and more scientifically sound direction will be considered by Members that emphasizes increased forest protections, and a shift away from consumption of wood products and forest biomass energy, to help mitigate the climate crisis. We believe having a dialogue now would be productive, and we could help members of your Committees to be more effective in achieving the conservation and climate change goals that we share. We look forward to hearing from you and are available to provide additional scientific sources and serve as a resource for your Committees as you consider policy proposals on the climate crisis.

Dear Commissioner District 2 Eisenhour As your constituent, I'm urging you to work with the SAFE Cities movement to phase out fossil fuels and implement a just transition to clean energy. Just last month io new jurisdictions joined, pledging to phase out fossil fuels and endorsing the call for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Learn more and how you can get involved here: Stand.earth/SAFEAnnouncement There are so many things we can do at the local level to take on fossil fuels. First,we can and should endorse the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Next,we should phase out fossil fuel infrastructure in our community,whether that means refineries and pipelines,gas stations and buildings,or all of the above. I look forward to working with you to help achieve these goals.Our health and the climate can't wait.

COUNTY NEWS 1 WSAC and Washington State Highlighted: Resetting the Course for Foundational Public Health Services (FPHS) During COVID-19 Underfunding of the governmental public health system in the United States has been a problem for many years, and the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the significant gaps in public health infrastructure that have resulted from this inadequate funding. The states of Ohio, Oregon, and Washington received funding in 2016 to define, measure, and advocate for the foundational public health services (FPHS) delivered by the governmental public health system. They have taken unique but related approaches to strengthening work in the areas of categorical public health programs and the underlying infrastructure and capabilities that support the programmatic work.

Initially believed to be too dry to farm successfully, Douglas County has established itself as one of Washington State's main agricultural producers, with consistently high wheat and fruit yields. Douglas County is particularly successful at growing fruits, 5 such as apples, pears, and cherries, and ranks among the nation's top apple and cherry producers. Surrounded by the Columbia River on almost all sides, Douglas County benefits from irrigation made accessible by the river and the various dams located on the river, which provide relatively cheap electrical power.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hello Commissioners, This is getting to you late on Friday afternoon... so I hope you'll take the time to read it before the Tuesday morning meeting. It's not terribly long. In the last meeting regarding the conservation of the older stands (Pennywise and Beaver Valley Sorts), I disagreed openly with the timber industry folks. I thought it best to give you some resources from peer-reviewed papers which support my opinions. I've attached a that pdf document to this email. Thank you so much for your effort. I understand that this must be a very difficult thing to do. I'm really hoping that the money our services and schools need can come from other sources, and that we can simultaneously achieve some conservation of our forests. I feel that this battle will only get harder with time and with the inevitably more severe weather conditions we'll be experiencing in our future. Hopefully some agreements can be made which ease the tensions. thanks again, Jessica Randall PS. I've Cc'd two of my colleagues, John Talberth and Mary Jean Ryan. 1 Conservation Issues for the Jefferson County Commissioners: to: Kate Dean, Greg Brotherton and Heidi Eisenhour from:Jessica Randall, a Jefferson County Resident May 27, 2022 Our forests in Western Washington are the light at the end of the tunnel for managing the effects of Climate Change. Each year, our planet is showing us that global warming is getting worse... more wildfire, more heat waves, more flooding, stronger hurricanes, more extinction of terrestrial and aquatic species.And scientists tell us that more is yet to come. Our forests are the exception. Our trees provide us with clean water through filtration into the underground aquifers.They create their own cool and steady temperatures year around.They protect the habitat of salmon and other creatures.They are our largest and most efficient tool to sequester the excess carbon in the atmosphere. But if we cut them all down,what are we left with? Not much. Conservation is our way of healing some of the damage we've caused to our planet. Particularly valuable in our conservation efforts are complex forests, including older trees. Such legacy forestlands and the biological diversity and ecosystem functions they provide are of critical importance to our climate-threatened future,for both mitigation and resiliency purposes.The impact of such areas to effect carbon sequestration,atmospheric carbon removal and storage should not be minimized,as well as their ability to regulate water storage and runoff, provide habitat, and keep summer temperatures cooler.They are an increasingly valuable and endangered resource. I want to provide some references that support why we SHOULD NOT log our older forests. I will start with the pro-logging points we heard in the previous meeting,then follow up with rebuttals and references to those points. Argument for logging state forest lands: 1)There will be$ lost to schools and junior taxing districts. Our response: 1. A. Revenue from timber harvests is gradually decreasing,while economic demand is slowly increasing.This disequilibrium causes schools and other junior taxing districts a great deal of stress and competition. Securing a revenue stream that is more reliable, and adjustable with inflation and growth seems more sensible. It also seems that generally speaking,the more forested a school district is,the less students it serves. Other school districts have more students and less forests.So, they are at a natural disadvantage.Also, schools have other challenges to receiving this revenue. There is much I don't know about this type of funding, but my colleagues have given me the following information. School districts have a difficult time receiving capital funding from forest harvests.They have to pass a bond to receive funds,then the State Forest trust revenue can be used to pay back the bond. But the bond issue would probably exceed the value of timberland revenue,so the timber revenue would pay off only a portion of the bond.The rest of the money to pay off the bond must come from local sources. Furthermore, rural communities, like Quilcene, have a difficult time passing bond levies, because their communities are small and relatively poor.An example of this happened recently: https://www.ptleader.com/stories/quilcene-voters-giving-go-ahead-on-123-million-bond- for-new-school-april-26-special-election,82344 Junior taxing districts get their funds from a different set of state-managed lands,those which were entrusted to DNR by counties who received the lands from foreclosures, largely during the Depression. When the DNR sells a harvest on these lands, it keeps about 25 percent of the bid price for itself as the manager of trust forests. It sends the remaining 75 percent to the county.The county treasurer distributes the revenue to various junior taxing districts based on a formula of what junior taxing districts are entitled to a share of the harvest-sale tracts. Different timber tracts benefit different junior taxing districts. If a school gets a portion of those particular sales for operating expenses,that timber money is subtracted dollar for dollar from the money that school would have otherwise received from the state general fund. 1. B.The sporadic harvests and variable market make it difficult for jurisdictions to budget for this revenue.Timber harvest revenue has been decreasing for several decades,and not just because of conservation.There are fewer trees to harvest, and they are compromised from poor forest practices, insect infestation and other pathogenic factors, and drought stress. Forest landowners are starting to experience young sapling die-off in hot summer conditions on south-facing slopes. Reforestation is compromised.Therefore, many trees,especially on commercial tree plantations, are harvested when they are younger and smaller.This is why there is so much demand for larger and older trees,such as what we have on public lands. If we follow the path of the commercial timber industry, all of our larger trees will be gone, and the reforested areas will encounter the same issues that commercial timber plantations are facing. A diminishing resource with a growing population and therefor growing economic need is a bad combination.There will be increasing competition in the future. It would be prudent to come up with a new solution for funding school construction and junior taxing districts. Argument for logging state forest lands: 2)The IPCC states that forests should be conserved, but that it includes"working forests",which also sequester carbon. Our response: 2)There is a current debate on which trees sequester the most carbon,young saplings or larger and older trees. But studies vary across the nation, and I believe it is these variable landscapes and tree growth rates which contribute to these varied results.The PNW temperate forest is comparatively wetter than most other forests nationwide, and our yearly climate fluctuates less than other regions. These factors account for our uniquely large, dense trees.These are optimum growing conditions which promote fast and steady tree growth, which equates to increased carbon sequestration.The Douglas Fir tree is in the height of its growth.The following document is peer-reviewed research which shows that in the PNW, larger trees are the better carbon storers: "Large-diameter trees constitute about half of the mature forest biomass worldwide and are key to the ability of forests to accumulate substantial amounts of carbon needed to mitigate climate change(Luyssaert et al.,2008;Lutz et al.,2018).Trees exceeding 60 cm(23.6 in)diameter at breast height(DBH)comprise —41%of the world's aboveground live tree biomass(Lutz et al..2018).Furthermore,on average,50%of the live tree biomass carbon in all types of forests globally is stored in the largest 1%of trees,but the value for the United States is lower,—30%in the largest 1%of trees due to widespread historical logging of large trees(Lutz et al.,2018).A single large tree can add the same amount of carbon to the forest within a year as is contained in a single mid-sized tree of the same species(Stephenson et al.,2014).The relationship between large-diameter trees and overall forest biomass suggests that forests cannot accumulate aboveground carbon(AGC)to their ecological potential without large trees(Lutz et al.,2018).Recognition of the importance of large-diameter trees in determining global atmospheric carbon stocks has led to management recommendations to conserve existing large-diameter trees and those that will soon reach large diameters(Lindenmayer et al.,2014;Lutz et al.,2018;Moomaw et al.,2019). Large Trees Dominate Carbon Storage in Forests East of the Cascade Crest in the United States Pacific Northwest https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/ffgc.2020.594274/fu II Argument for logging state forest lands: 3) If we don't harvest the wood from the trees in public trust forests,we will have to import wood from other sources which have less stringent sustainability guidelines, and pollution from transport. Our response: 3)The commercial timber industry exports logs to China,Japan and other countries. These are trees that don't see the mill on the way out.The reason for this is profit. It costs less to have them milled overseas. If there were less trees cut on public lands (which are prohibited from exporting),the local demand would increase.This would create a triple benefit:we can conserve our most valuable forests, provide more wood to the local mill workers, and decrease pollution from carbon emissions due to exporting trees. "Washington accounts for 25%of U.S. log and lumber product exports and 9%of the nation's paper products." (http://choosewashingtonstate.com/why-washington/our-key-sectors/forest- products/#:":text=Washington%20accounts%20for%2025%25%20of,of%20the%2Onation's%20paper%2 0products); also: "The other major U.S. export to China has been softwood logs. Prior to 2009,the United States exported virtually no softwood logs to China but, since then,softwood logs have become the second-largest forest product export,valued at$950 million." (https://www.fas.usda.gov/data/money-does-grow-trees-us-forest-product-exports-set-record) Argument for logging state forest lands: 4) Carbon sequestration also occurs in wood products. Our response: 4)Only a small percentage of forest carbon remains in wood products, and there is much more to the carbon equation of harvesting vs. conservation than the timber industry would have you believe.

Argument for logging state forest lands: 5) Much of the forest in the PNW is already conserved in wilderness areas, late-successional reserves under the Northwest Forest Plan, or riparian and other sensitive areas under the DNR's Habitat Conservation Plan. Our response: 5. A. In Jefferson County,there are 15,000 acres of State Forest Trust Lands, and about 1,400 acres of what we characterize as older forests (per Comm. Eisenhour).This is only 9.3%which is under discussion to conserve, a small percentage of Jefferson. County's forests, and a miniscule amount when you consider the 1.8 million acres managed by Washington's DNR. 5. B. Most of the Olympic Peninsula's forests that are already under conservation are in the Olympic National Park,which occupies the highest elevations of the Olympic Mountains. Forest biologists and marine scientists are saying that the most critical areas of the forest ecosystem we need to preserve are in the mid and lower elevations.These areas contain the most species diversity and the most vulnerability to logging operations.The higher levels of streams are certainly important to the health of the entire stream, but the mid and lower levels of the forested slopes, and the streams and riparian areas therein, are especially incredibly vulnerable to climate change and also contain the largest trees.

Mark and Brent, I wanted to make sure that you are aware of this issue, and you concur with Patty Chanas position: "there is no established fire code provision that warrants any applicable action unless a 'clear and present danger (e.g., burning embers on a front porch)'." Specifically, is the abandoned Trail Nine Golf Course fully compliant with the terms of the Development Agreement between Jefferson County and PLA? Regards, Bert Loomis 10/2/18 Email from Patty Charnas (DCD) to Brad Martin (Fire Chief) & Brian Tracer (Fire Marshal) RE" Closed Port Ludlow Nine Golf Course fire hazard "There is no regulatory provision or other code that applies to this office enforcing the grass or weeds to be cut, mowed, or modified." Further, there is no established fire code provision that warrants any applicable action unless a "clear and present danger(e.g., burning embers on a front porch)." Interestingly, the Fire Marshal reports directly to Patty Charnas at DCD,yet DCD has not established any regulations, codes and/or policies that would give the Fire Marshal the authority to enforce risk mitigation measures on an obvious fire hazard like the 235-acre abandoned Trail Nine Golf Course. Apparently, DCD does not view the abandoned course i as a "clear and present danger". Only if"burning embers" are observed on your front porch are they authorized to act! Welcome to Jefferson County!

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Jefferson County Board of Commissioners, Thank you for requesting that the State Board of Natural Resources pause further action on the Beaver Valley Sorts and Penny Wise Timber Sales while Jefferson County considers all options to preserve these legacy forests. Last month,the Mauna Loa Observatory measured 420 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere,the highest level ever recorded. Deadly heat waves are striking India and Pakistan. Last year all of you experienced the heat dome on the Olympic Peninsula, with temperatures exceeding 113 degrees Fahrenheit.The drought and heat stress to Western Redcedar on the peninsula is obvious to any of us who look at our surroundings: brown needles on even the oldest trees and dead seedlings and saplings everywhere.The evidence that we are living through transformative and deadly climate change is impossible to miss.We know that older forests sequester carbon at higher rates, cool local climates through evapotranspiration, and retain moisture in the soil. It is vital that we retain every possible shred of intact forest on the peninsula. How much longer will the monoculture douglas fir seedlings be able to grow in a shadeless clearcut stripped of moisture and poisoned by herbicides? We are on a path to ruin, and each legacy forest we sell to timber companies obsessed with short term profits is one less refuge of biodiversity and water infiltration. We have known about this problem for nearly 50 years now. How much longer are you willing to be complicit with the destruction of the biosphere that we all rely on?When will you find the courage to stop bowing to pressure from the timber industry? There are many elements of climate change and ecological devastation that are beyond the control of individuals and local governments.These timber sales--some of the few State-managed timberlands that are true, ecologically diverse forests that might have the resiliency to adapt to higher temperatures and survive drought and fire--are within your control. You have agency, resources, and the ability to protect these forests. Please use the power that you have.

Dear Board of Commissioners, Please add my comments to the Penny Wise lumber sale meeting. Thank you, Sue DeArman 1 Dear Board of County Commissioners, I am a resident of Kitsap County and regularly hike the beautiful forests of Olympic National Park and Forest. Sadly, over the decades that I have lived here I have witnessed our old mature forests get replaced with forests planted by humans. I am asking you to PLEASE cancel the Penny Wise Lumber Sale! We cannot afford to cut down our old mature trees and disrupt the important work that they do naturally. Our complex and diverse forests are healthy as they are, plantation forests are not. Please help to preserve our few remaining legacy forests. Please keep our mature trees as they sequester large amounts of carbon which can help us fight climate change. Keep our mature trees as they are less susceptible to fire. Keep our mature trees for the well-being of the mammals and birds, insects, reptiles, and amphibians that call them home. Our mature forests are disappearing at an alarming rate, and we must act now to save what remains. Please don't be short-sighted,these trees can never be replaced once they are taken. Stand by the BNR policies that are supposed to preserve our mature forests! Thank you for taking the time to read this. Respectfully, Sue DeArman 25987 NW Circle Dr. S.

Good evening commissioners, staff, and citizens of the future, While hunting for inspiration to guide my thoughts, I discovered this essay about the formation of our Olympic National Park. I have copied it in its entirety and I hope you will find it enthralling and read every word. I have not edited this essay (but I did remove some pics to shorten the overall length) because it is brilliant just as I found it and I know not to taint a thing of perfection. Within this essay are the elements I find to be reminiscent of the issue we are currently grappling with.There is the existential struggle between those that seek to preserve and protect vs those that would exploit a national treasure for temporary gains at the expense of future generations and environmental impacts, under the guise of economic development.There is the story of the human footprint and greed decimating wildlife.There is the political battle between dutiful politicians with visionary leadership and people in positions of power who tried to undo their actions. We are the stewards of the land who remove dams, restore habitat, create fish passage, install solar panels, drive electric cars, recycle plastics, reduce our footprints, garden organically, discover(or invent) creative solutions for difficult problems. Right?That is us, isn't it?We don't kick the can down the road and claim that our hands are tied. If WE can't find solutions,then I am not sure there is any hope for the human race or the planet. I have more faith in you three commissioners than is fair to expect, I know. However, I don't think my expectations are unrealistic and I don't think I am asking too much and I know the payoff is more than worth the effort. I've said it before, and I'll say it again.These legacy forests are the crown jewels of Jefferson County. I hope the visionary leaders of our time will persevere in this struggle and find a solution to this problem. I am quite certain that the next chapter of the following eloquent essay could have the story of Jefferson County's conservation added to the history lesson. Jean Ball I take no credit for the following essay, credits follow at the bottom.The extent of my influence consisted of the copy and paste feature. I hope you enjoy the read as much as I did. Established under President Franklin D. Roosevelt on June 29, 1938,Olympic National Park has obtained global renown as a natural reserve.The park, encompassing 922,650 acres on the Olympic Peninsula, comprises landscapes ranging from subalpine meadows and rugged peaks to temperate rainforests and Pacific coast. Indigenous people have inhabited and managed the natural resources of the Olympic region for thousands of years, and the park's borders fall across the traditional lands of the Skokomish, Klallam, Makah, Quileute, Hoh,Queets, and Quinault people. In 1897, more than 2 million acres were withdrawn from the public domain to create the Olympic Forest Reserve. Designation of Mount Olympus National Monument under the Antiquities Act followed in 1909. By the 1930s, Forest Service 1 management practices had ignited a campaign for a national park intended to protect the region's old-growth forests and wildlife.Though conservationists won the designation of Olympic National Park in 1938,their victory was by no means permanent; rare is the natural reserve whose existence has occasioned such bitter and enduring conflict. Skirmishes over the park's boundaries and the governance of its resources, especially its vast timber wealth,would recur through the years.Today,Olympic ranks among the most popular American national parks, averaging more than 3 million visitors each year. First People of the Olympic Country While many nineteenth-and early twentieth-century accounts of the Olympic Range claimed that the mountains "lay untouched by human foot until the white man very tardily entered the unknown country" (Roloff, 217),there is good evidence in the form of archaeological findings and traditional knowledge that the landscape now called Olympic National Park has sustained human habitation for thousands of years.The Manis mastodon, discovered in 1977,was killed and processed by Paleolithic hunters near the current park boundary around 13,800 years ago.A 2,880-year-old basket fragment found under a snowbank on Obstruction Point, along with other evidence recovered throughout the high country, attest to human activity in the mountains over millennia. Roads and mountain paths that park visitors follow today were first explored by the indigenous people of the region; as Quileute writer Harry Hobucket recorded, the people "made long journeys for purposes of war or trade and had many well-defined trails ...There were hundreds of such trails scattered throughout the country" (Hobucket, 51-52). The people of the Olympic Peninsula foraged for berries, nuts, and roots, mounted inland hunting expeditions in pursuit of land mammals such as deer and elk, and manipulated the local ecosystem with techniques such as prairie burning. Along the coast, permanent maritime traditions developed between 3,000 and 1,000 years ago. Settlements such as the Klallam village of Tse-whit-zen thrived on harvests of fish, shellfish, birds, and sea mammals.The Makah village at Ozette was home to a whaling and sealing society with a sophisticated aesthetic culture represented in patterned woven blankets, decorated chests, and finely carved tools of wood and bone. Contacts with European and American voyagers multiplied in the late eighteenth century.A smallpox epidemic that devastated Northwest peoples in the 1770s and 1780s may have been introduced by seafaring colonists, such as the Spanish party whose 1775 encounter with the Quinault people escalated into violence. Olympic communities suffered further outbreaks of smallpox and other infectious diseases such as influenza and measles in the nineteenth century. By 1855,the Klallam and Chimakum people numbered an estimated 1,106 people, less than half their population of approximately 2,400 in 1780. Among the Makah, losses were likewise catastrophic,from an estimated 1,200 people in the early 1840s to 654 in 1861. It was under these circumstances that Washington Territory Governor Isaac Stevens pursued a series of treaties with Olympic Peninsula tribes, radically changing their relationship to their homeland.The Treaty of Point No Point, the Treaty of Neah Bay, and the Quinault Treaty,signed in 1855 and 1856,established reservations at Skokomish, Neah Bay, and Taholah that made up a small fragment of the tribes' historic territories.Those individuals designated as tribal representatives reluctantly agreed to cede their lands only once they were guaranteed the "right of taking fish and of whaling or sealing at usual and accustomed grounds and stations" and of"hunting and gathering roots and berries on open and unclaimed lands" (Treaty of Neah Bay, 1855). Non-Native emigration to the Olympic Peninsula was impeded by its distance from markets and lack of roads. In the late nineteenth century, development of the local timber industry attracted European immigrants such as Dora and John Huelsdonk, who settled along the Upper Hoh River in the 1890s. However, most settlers did not persist for long under the onerous burden of clearing brush, burning stumps, and hauling goods over forbidding terrain that characterized Olympic homesteading. One survey reported that for 341 homestead entries filed in one part of Clallam County, only 83 residents remained in 1899. The Forest Service Era 2 The first recorded proposals for an Olympic National Park appear in reports by two mountaineering expeditions of 1890. That summer,Tacoma lawyer James Wickersham (1857-1939) and his family conducted a 20-day trek up the Skokomish River,where they found the "heaviest forest growth in North America ... untouched by fire or ax" (Wickersham, 13). Wickersham wrote that the "reservation of this area as a national park"would "serve the twofold purpose of a great pleasure ground for the Nation and be a means of securing and protecting the finest forests in America" (Wickersham, 13). Lieutenant Joseph P. O'Neil (1863-1938) of the Olympic Exploring Expedition, whose party ascended a peak of Mount Olympus the same summer, agreed that the mountains would "serve admirably for a national park," citing also the need to protect the region's elk, "that noble animal so fast disappearing from this country" (Exploration of the Olympic Mountains, 20). On March 3, 1891, Congress passed the Forest Reserve Act, permitting the establishment of wooded reserves from land held in the public domain.A few months later,Wickersham sent an article and maps of his Olympic expedition to John Wesley Powell, head of the U.S. Geological Survey. "I am informed that you are now preparing to recommend several reservations, under the Act of March 3," he wrote, "and I send you this with the hope that you may be induced to make the proposed park" (Wickersham, 5).Wickersham's hope was realized on February 22, 1897, when President Grover Cleveland (1837-1908) issued a proclamation designating 13 new forest reserves, including the 2,188,000-acre Olympic Forest Reserve. A subsequent Geological Survey report estimated that the reserve held more than 60 billion board feet of timber, a volume "sufficient to supply the entire United States demand for two years" (Dodwell and Rixon, 14). Under Cleveland's successor, President William McKinley(1843-1901), opponents of the reserve moved to cut back its boundaries.With the support of the timber industry and its allies, McKinley issued proclamations in April 1900 and July 1901 returning more than a third of the reserve's land to the public domain.As Gifford Pinchot(1865-1946),the nation's chief forester, observed, "Nearly every acre of it ... passed promptly and fraudulently into the hands of lumbermen" (Lien, 21). In 1905,the Olympic Forest Reserve came under the authority of the Forest Service in the Department of Agriculture, and in 1907 it was renamed Olympic National Forest.With Pinchot's support, President Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) restored 127,680 acres to the national forest in the same year. National park proposals reappeared in the early twentieth century as conservation groups such as the Boone and Crockett Club demanded protection of the local Roosevelt elk population. Hunting and habitat loss had reduced the elk's numbers from an estimated 25,000 to 40,000 animals in the 1850s to 2,000 or fewer in 1905.The slaughter of elk for their upper canine teeth,which enjoyed a turn-of-the-century vogue as watch fobs for members of the Elks Lodge, garnered particular notoriety. Congressman Francis W. Cushman (1867-1909)of Tacoma introduced a bill for an "Elk National Park" that would enforce protections for wildlife and timber alike in 1904, but his bill was scuttled after Congressman William E. Humphrey(1862-1934)of Seattle introduced competing legislation for a game preserve that would permit the continued extraction of timber. Humphrey and Pinchot later persuaded President Roosevelt,the elk's namesake,to intervene on the animal's behalf. On March 2, 1909, Roosevelt used the presidential powers authorized by the Antiquities Act of 1906 to set aside 610,560 acres of Olympic National Forest as Mount Olympus National Monument. Following the Secretary of the Interior's determination that no "prospecting for or working of mineral deposits" (Lien, 39)was allowed within monument boundaries, business groups such as the Olympic Peninsula Development League and the Seattle Commercial Club agitated for its elimination.The Seattle Daily Times asserted that "the Olympic Mountains ought to be thrown open to the prospector and the miner, for the rugged men who follow those occupations are always the forerunners of substantial growth" (Seattle Daily Times, 6), while F. H. Stanard, a Seattle business representative, laid into "Pretorius Pinchot at the tennis court of Theodore the First" for making"a Siberian wilderness of the West" (Report of Proceedings, 66). In 1915,at the urging of advocates within the Forest Service, President Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) signed an order more than halving the size of Mount Olympus National Monument and restoring the most heavily timbered lands to Olympic National Forest. Continued attempts by Washington congressional representatives to gain support for a national park or game refuge failed, and the newly founded National Park Service, established in 1916,declared itself officially uninterested in the region. Inquiries on behalf of an Olympic National Park would eventually elicit a form-letter 3 response from the Park Service: "It is a very beautiful region, but thus far it has not been demonstrated that it comes up to the standards set for national parks" (Lien, 105). Despite the controversy that attended Roosevelt's 1909 designation,the Forest Service came to treat the distinction between Mount Olympus National Monument and Olympic National Forest as essentially nominal. Permits were issued for mining and for the grazing of 1,600 sheep on Roosevelt elk range near the Lost River.Tellingly, a 1923 forest management plan ignored the national monument boundary entirely, prescribing timber harvests throughout the region.Timber extraction accelerated under this approach, characterized as the "gospel of continuous production" (Twight,43) by District Forester C. M. Granger. By the late 1920s, according to the Forest Service, Grays Harbor County alone was producing "over a billion feet of lumber per year" (Forest Service, 6). In the late 1920s, political pressure from conservation advocates and sportsmen's organizations led the Forest Service to produce the Olympic National Forest Recreation Plan, prepared by forest engineer Fred W.Cleator.The "Cleator Plan" dedicated fifteen units of Olympic National Forest to partial recreational use and redesignated Mount Olympus National Monument as the "Snow Peaks Recreation Area" while maintaining timber harvests in heavily wooded areas.The Forest Service implemented another Cleator proposal in 1930 by proclaiming a 134,240-acre Olympic Primitive Area. While this land was ostensibly set aside from development, resource extraction within the Primitive Area and the recreational units remained a matter of administrative discretion:Any merchantable timber within these boundaries would still be targeted for cutting. In this way,the Forest Service publicly accommodated growing constituencies for preservation and recreation without compromising the timber yield that was its core directive. Olympic Forests for a National Park In 1928 Willard Van Name (1872-1959), a zoologist at the American Museum of Natural History, called attention to conditions in the Olympic forests and other western woodlands in his book Vanishing Forest Reserves.The book depicted a Forest Service that was hostage to timber corporations, logging ancient forests with "little or no return to the federal treasury" (Bainbridge, 145).To protect the Olympic woodlands,Van Name proposed a national park that would contain "fine forest of kinds not at all well represented in any of the present parks" (Lien, 106). Prospects for a park were reinvigorated in 1933 when newly elected President Franklin D. Roosevelt(1882-1945) issued Executive Order 6166,transferring authority over all national monuments, including Mount Olympus National Monument,to the Park Service.The political wind was turning; timber and mining interests' influence had waned in the onset of the Great Depression and the Forest Service's management of the elk was under renewed criticism for alleged mismanagement of an open season in October 1933.An attempt by the chief forester to reverse the transfer of Mount Olympus National Monument was publicly rejected by Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes (1874-1952)the following March. The Emergency Conservation Committee capitalized on this moment in May 1934 with a new pamphlet by Willard Van Name, The Proposed Olympic National Park, that demanded a park to protect elk and old growth alike. Led by Rosalie Barrow Edge (1877-1962), a former suffragist and "blistering stump speaker" (Taylor, 1948),the committee was a small New York City-based pamphleteering operation that commanded a mailing list of some 16,000.Though infamous for publishing aggressive appeals that"named names in unrestrained assaults on the integrity of its opponents" (Bainbridge, 20), Edge's group nevertheless enjoyed a strong influence within the executive branch. Ickes and Roosevelt both came to trust Emergency Conservation Committee member Irving Brant (1885-1976), a journalist who authored such pamphlets as The Olympic Forests for a National Park(1938), as a close advisor on environmental matters.Together, Edge,Van Name, and Brant formed the vanguard of the public campaign to establish Olympic National Park. Unsettled by the Emergency Conservation Committee pamphlet and by the Park Service's success in quietly generating pro-park sentiment on the Peninsula,the Forest Service's Region Six office in Portland mounted a rearguard defense. Intelligence on Edge's board members and finances was collected with the help of timber industry contacts. Forest Service officials addressed chambers of commerce throughout the Olympic region, reminding them of the Peninsula's economic dependence on lumber. In the words of Regional Forester C.J. Buck, the timber proposed for a park"would 4 mean year-long employment for 600 men in the woods and 600 more family men working in five mills with 120 thousand per day cut,200 days a year.A total community of 1,200 families from now until Gabriel blows his horn" (Twight, 62). In April 1935, Congressman Monrad C.Wallgren introduced a bill, H.R. 7086, proposing a Mount Olympus National Park of 728,360 acres. Based on recommendations by Van Name and backed by Ickes,the boundaries proposed in the Wallgren bill contained substantial stands of old-growth timber in the western Olympics. H.R. 7086 was met with considerable local opposition: Mountaineers co-founder Asahel Curtis, longtime Olympic ranger Chris Morgenroth, Quileute leader William Penn, Congressman Martin F.Smith,the Washington Conservation Department, the State Fire Fighting Association, and the University of Washington College of Forestry were among those who argued against the proposed park. In April 1936 the House Committee on Public Lands commenced a nine-day hearing on the Wallgren bill, during which delegates of the Forest Service,the Park Service, local business groups,and other constituencies testified at length. (Notably absent was testimony from any Native American stakeholders.) "This forest has been administered by the Forest Service since 1905," said Assistant Chief Forester Leon F. Kneipp, "not without error... but,as that Olympic Forest stands today it is beautiful and it is protected" (Mount Olympus National Park, 198). Secretary Ickes,earning his reputation as a "professional man of wrath" (Mackintosh, 78), denounced the Forest Service as a lackey to corporate interests"that see no wrong in destroying a national treasure so long as a profit may be taken" (Mount Olympus National Park, 253). H.R. 7086 was reported for enactment by the full House of Representatives, but stalled in a dispute over the size and shape of the park. Wallgren reintroduced his bill as H.R.4724 in February 1937 with a 138,000-acre reduction in the proposed boundaries containing Olympic's rich west-side forests, prompting the Emergency Conservation Committee to issue a pamphlet titled Double-Crossing the Project for the Proposed Mount Olympus National Park.Though opposition by the Forest Service and its allies remained undiminished, the bill approached a floor vote as local Park Service staff and environmental groups embraced H.R. 4724 as a realistic path to a park. Here President Roosevelt intervened,obliging the Olympic Peninsula with a personal visit in September 1937. Roosevelt's party landed in Port Angeles,where the gathered crowds included a group of 3,000 schoolchildren alongside a sign (raised by park advocates)that read, "Please, Mr. President,we children need your help. Give us an Olympic National Park" (Freidel, 127).Armed with a private memorandum from Irving Brant warning that Olympic"won't be a real park unless it takes in the areas the Forest Service is trying to keep out" (Lien, 170),the president was well-equipped to parry the arguments of the Forest Service personnel who accompanied him on his tour from Lake Crescent to Hoquiam. Roosevelt declared that the Olympic Peninsula "will in the future be as popular as Yellowstone is now" and "left no doubt in the mind of any one present that he favored a large national park" (Fringer, 73-74). The President's favor carried the day. On June 29, 1938,following personal negotiations with state and Forest Service officials over the park boundaries, President Roosevelt signed H.R. 10024,the third and final Wallgren bill.This legislation abolished Mount Olympus National Monument, established an Olympic National Park of 634,000 acres, and authorized the future addition of more than 250,000 acres at the president's discretion. "Conceived in controversy, born of compromise, and developed amidst constant conflict" (Master Plan, 1), Olympic thus became the nation's newest national park. Administering the Park Planning for the new park was carried out in the summer of 1938 by a committee consisting of Ickes, Brant, Mount Rainier superintendent Owen A.Tomlinson, and other Park Service personnel. Preston P. Macy(1891-1979), custodian of Mount Olympus National Monument since 1934,would continue as the first park superintendent.Among Macy's early priorities were improving trails, overseeing construction of park headquarters in Port Angeles, and halting the development of a high-speed road through the Hoh River valley. In 1941,the new park attracted a record 92,667 visitors. 5 To the disquiet of state and local officials who believed the president would afford them equal say in any boundary changes, Roosevelt went on to proclaim additions in 1940 and 1943 that enlarged Olympic by 208,011 acres, mostly representing the long-contested western rainforests.A 1953 proclamation by President Harry S.Truman (1884-1972) added another 47,753 acres to the park, including the Queets and Bogachiel valleys and the Coastal Strip.Though Macy and the Park Service would repeatedly attempt to add the adjacent Ozette Indian Reservation as well, in 1970 the Makah won lasting federal recognition of their ancestral claim to the land. American engagement in World War II instigated a new battle over Olympic timber in the early 1940s.William B. Greeley(1879-1955), a timber executive and former head of the Forest Service, pushed the War Production Board to seek cutting of Sitka spruce within the park's west-side forests. Said Greeley, "The Olympic Peninsula National Park should do its part towards victory by giving up certain of its fine grade, old growth timber to the war effort ... Nothing is too sacred to do its share" (Lien, 213). In 1942 the Park Service acquiesced to logging on Queets Corridor land not yet incorporated into the park boundary.Though the political pressure dissipated in 1943 when it became clear that airplane-grade lumber could be readily obtained from other sources, industry was undeterred in its pursuit of access to Olympic timber. In 1946 and 1947,following Roosevelt's death and Ickes's resignation, Senator Warren G. Magnuson and Representative Henry M.Jackson introduced bills to eliminate tens of thousands of acres from the park's western border.This effort had the backing of Park Service personnel, including Macy and Director Newton B. Drury(1889-1978). Conservationists,alarmed by the Park Service's disinclination to defend its own boundaries, mustered an energetic response.Wrote Ickes, now a syndicated columnist, "The tree butchers, axes on shoulders, are again on the march against some of the few remaining stands of America's glorious virgin timber" (Lien, 242). Rosalie Barrow Edge mobilized another letter-writing campaign with her 1947 pamphlet The Raid on the Nation's Olympic Forests,which enjoyed the widest distribution of all Emergency Conservation Committee publications yet. In the public outcry that ensued,the bills were dropped. Former forest engineer Fred Overly (1907-1973), who succeeded Macy as Olympic superintendent in 1951, continued to seek accommodation for industry by expanding a timber salvage program initiated in the 1940s. Under Overly,timber companies secured contracts permitting the removal of an estimated 65 million board feet of lumber from the national park, including healthy trees.The resulting controversy led to Overly's removal in 1958. Overly's tenure also saw the rise of a new generation of conservation activists, including Polly Dyer and the Olympic Park Associates, who fought the salvage policy and recruited Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas to the area for demonstrations in 1958 and 1964 against coastal road projects. Passage of the Wilderness Act of 1964 and later legislation such as the National Environmental Policy Act(1969) and the Endangered Species Act (1973) heralded a new federal approach to natural resource management. Under the superintendency of biologist Roger W. Allin and his successors in the 1970s and 1980s, Olympic's purpose was redefined as preservation of"the mountain wilderness phenomenon" (Master Plan, 68). Scientists' expanded influence over park policy led administrators to cease stocking backcountry lakes with fish and to devise plans for the removal of exotic species, such as a population of mountain goats introduced in the 1920s. In 1988, the Washington Park Wilderness Act designated 876,669 acres, or around 95 percent of the park, as the Olympic Wilderness, later renamed the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness after the former Washington governor and senator. The indigenous people of the Peninsula have maintained an active and continuous relationship to their traditional lands within Olympic National Park since its founding.At times this has resulted in conflict, as in the Park Service's efforts to acquire the Ozette Reservation, or in the case of two Quinault men arrested for hunting elk in the Queets Corridor in 1982. In recent decades,the park has partnered with tribes on projects ranging from a coastal oil spill response with the Makah in 1991 to the Lower Elwha Klallam's movement to restore the Elwha River watershed. A Memorandum of Understanding was approved by the Park Service and eight neighboring tribes in 2008, establishing regular meetings and requiring "meaningful tribal consultation" in the administration of natural and cultural resources(Wray, 66). Olympic's Future 6 Olympic ranks among the most celebrated and popular American national parks, having won global recognition as a UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site and, since 1990, averaging more than 3 million visitors per year. Recent initiatives have included the successful reintroduction of fishers (2008-2010),the demolition of the Glines Canyon and Elwha dams (2011-2014), and the implementation of a long-gestating plan to remove the mountain goats(2018). Of growing concern in the twenty-first century is the effect of anthropogenic climate change on the Olympic landscape. Scientists have estimated a reduction of 34 percent in glacial surface area across the Olympic Range from 1980 to 2009, with full loss of 82 glaciers.A 2011 climate adaptation report, prepared jointly by the Park Service and Forest Service, projected climate impacts that include wildlife habitat disruption, potential closure of vulnerable fisheries, and increased exposure to drought,fires, and floods. Olympic National Park's future thus promises threats no less grave than those the park withstood through its embattled early history.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Good evening commissioners, staff, and tree huggers everywhere, Not,wanting the Evergreen State to be upstaged by a state where the citizens were insane enough to plot a scheme to kidnap and execute their governor over some crazy conspiracy stuff, I think you should be aware that Michigan is making us look bad when it comes to a carbon credit plan so I guess they can't be all bad. MI has 100,000 acres currently in a carbon program. Yes they have us beat by an order of magnitude and it is not aspirational, it is actual. Taken from MI DNR page: Michigan's forests provide natural benefits including clean air and water, wildlife habitat, scenic places for recreation, renewable forest products and carbon storage. Carbon storage is achieved by through absorption of carbon dioxide by trees: a single mature tree can absorb 48 pounds of carbon annually. Industries that produce carbon emissions may purchase carbon offset credits, investing in forests as carbon sinks. Revenues from carbon credit sales will support activities including reforestation efforts. The Bluesource/Michigan DNR Big Wild Forest Carbon Project is the first-of-its-kind in the nation that will leverage the carbon storage capacity of trees on state forest lands. This pilot project, taking place on over 100,000 acres of the celebrated Pigeon River Country State Forest known as "The Big Wild," will develop a portfolio of carbon offset credits generated from sustainable forest management activities. i 44(4'isoN; oG� Rose Ann Carroll JEFFERSON COUNTY AUDITOR PO Box 563, Port Townsend WA 98368 Brenda Huntingford—Chief Deputy '44I N0-C° (360)385-9118 (360)385-9358 carrollraPco.iefferson.wa.us bhuntingford@co.iefferson.wa.us May 31, 2022 RECEIVED MAY 31 2022 Jefferson County JEFFERSON COUNTY Board of County Commissioners �SSIO�4ERS 1820 Jefferson St. C:OMI Port Townsend,WA 98368 Subject: Declaring Chimacum Creek Drainage District Inactive Pursuant to RCW 36.96,you are hereby notified that the Chimacum Creek Drainage District Formed with the approval of the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners has been inactive with the resignation of the board in 1974.

Styrofoam Recycling-2nd Mondays&3rd 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 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.

The Story of Glen Canyon 16 0,6 441 the Pacific Northwest celebrates dam removals on the Elwha and soon on the Klamath,and dream of salmon passage restored with removal of the Snake River dams,the world's eyes are also on Glen Canyon Dam. The Glen Canyon Institute shows us the re-emergence of the canyons as drought lowers Lake Powell. In the forward of Resurrection:Glen Canyon and a New Vision for the American West(2009).Bill McKibben,writes: Folly is always folly—yet this one is rare in that the mistake of damming Glen Canyon became clear within the lifetimes of the people responsible.But it's also rare in that,here,we may really get a second chance.If the Glen Canyon Institute and others have their way,we'll bypass this dam,fill Lake Mead,and designate Glen Canyon a national park....When that happens,the drained Lake Powell and the resurrected Glen Canyon will be emblematic not of our folly but of the graciousness with which Nature is still willing to meet our adolescent species halfway.It will be a monument to the possibility that we haven't totally screwed up the planet forever,that we might still be able to back off a little and make our peace with the rest of Creation.

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. 18 Local 2o/2o Mission Working together toward local sustainability and resilience—integrating ecology, economy and community through action and education.

Good morning all, Wanted to send a quick note to let you know I've been traveling in Europe for the past two weeks (a much needed vacation) and was down with covid the week before, but I'm back and digging into the Jefferson County work now. Couple quick notes, I've been on the periphery of the local forest carbon group and know emails have been flying around while I've been gone so I wanted to let you know I'm available in case you have any questions before tomorrow's meeting for me. I know it's a holiday and also don't encourage any of us to work on the holiday, but wanted to put it out there if it helps. Also as I've been seeing all the carbon questions I've asked Denise Pranger to do some subcontracting work to help provide more clarity and direction as to what makes the most sense for carbon here in Jefferson County in alignment with DNR and county forest management.She was the ED of Northwest Natural Resources Group and worked extensively in developing the Washington forest carbon market and still has a lot of ties to resources and will add a lot of expertise in that area. As always, I appreciate the time and effort you all have put into considering what is best for these forests and our community and for investing in me and my team to help you move forward. I know there are a lot of questions out there and please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like advice or input or just to point you to some resources. I'm not sure what level of communication you would like from me through this phase of the project, but know that I'm here and want to support you however I can.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's new Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary grant program provides dedicated funding to support regional, local, and Tribal plans, projects and strategies that will prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. The SS4A program supports the Department's comprehensive approach, laid out in the National Roadway Safety Strategy, to significantly reduce serious injuries and deaths on our Nation's highways, roads, and streets and is part of our work toward an ambitious long-term goal of reaching zero roadway fatalities. This comes at a time when traffic fatalities are at the highest level they have been at in over a decade. "We face a national crisis of fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways, and these tragedies are preventable —so as a nation we must work urgently and collaboratively to save lives," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. "The funds we are making available today from President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will help communities large and small take action to protect all Americans on our roads." "The rise in deaths and serious injuries on our public roads affects people of every age, race and income level, in rural communities and big cities alike," said Deputy Federal Highway Administrator Stephanie Pollack. 2 "This program will provide leaders in communities across the country with the resources they need to make roads safer for everyone." The primary goal of the SS4A grants is to improve roadway safety by supporting communities in developing comprehensive safety action plans based on a Safe System Approach, and implementing projects and strategies that significantly reduce or eliminate transportation-related fatalities and serious injuries involving pedestrians; bicyclists; public transportation, personal conveyance, and micromobility users, commercial vehicle operators; and motorists. Funding can also be used to support robust stakeholder engagement in order to ensure that all community members have a voice in developing plans, projects and strategies. The funding supports DOT's National Roadway Safety Strategy and collaborative efforts to advance the Safe System Approach and address safety by implementing redundant measures that lead to multiple types and layers of protection. The SS4A Grant Program was created by Congress under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which directed the Department to support local initiatives to prevent death and serious injury on roads and streets. The law also directed the Department, when selecting projects under the program, to consider other factors in addition to safety, including equitable investment in the safety needs of underserved communities. The program also supports the Biden-Harris Administration's goals of promoting equity and fighting climate change. Applications may come from individual communities, or groups of communities and may include Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), counties, cities,towns, other special districts that are subdivisions of a state, certain transit agencies, federally recognized Tribal governments, and multi jurisdictional groups. The Department has made the application process to receive funding to develop a comprehensive safety action plan as easy as possible to reduce administrative burden and encourage broad participation in this new funding program, especially for smaller communities, Tribal governments and new federal funding recipients. The Safe Streets for All Notice of Funding Opportunity announced today can be found at https://www.transportation.gov/SS4A. Applications are due on or before Sept. 15, 2022. The Department will convene a series of stakeholder webinars in June to help potential applicants learn about the SS4A Grant Program and what they need to know to prepare an application. 1.

Shepherd Subject: DOC Community Development Block Grant partnership ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Mark: A brief thank you for your efforts to work with Trinity United Methodist Church here in Port Townsend to apply for these federal funds to be distributed to community improvement projects by the Washington Dept. of Commerce. It was most unfortunate that, on such very short notice, I was not available to attend the public hearing as I was in Seattle at Virginia Mason Hospital on that day. After reviewing the online record of that public hearing it remains very upsetting see the errant assumptions of the public not being simply answered in accordance with the plans that we had shared with your team in copious detail.Simply summarized: the projects at Trinity are NOT to enhance worship spaces of the 150 year old structure, but to repair facilities used for: 2 separate pre-school and childcare programs that are at a dire shortage in our county; to convert an old kitchen to qualify as a "Donor Kitchen" making it possible for volunteers to better serve the P.T. Homeless Shelter(which they have done from their home kitchens for the past 17 years!);to make entries safer for wheelchairs, and to help the climate and the 11 different local community space user organizations by replacing an ancient oil fired furnace with an electric one. One illustrative detail to the above: Firefly pre-school,which serves 20 low to middle income families (whose operator stated in writing recently that she would have to close the school if Trinity did not give her this space)operates in an attached wing dedicated only for their use, NOT for any religious programs.The old roof has been leaking through the winter and must be replaced to safely continue the Firefly program. The ancient non-insulated windows in this wing, combined with the equally ancient furnace, make it not OK for the children to be safe, warm and dry. Further, we must prepare other space in the Trinity building to house the Heartberry pre-school program that is moving to Trinity free space in October from an unheated greenhouse in Port Townsend that they currently use. Other comments at the hearing seemed to misunderstand the source and availability of funds.This DOC grant, whose deadline of June 1 we will now miss, is federal funds distributed to the states to re-distribute to local governments who have sub-recipient partners, like Trinity. The funds distributed to the states total $11 million with local grants up to $250K each with no locality limits. So, multiple grants can be made through the same local government. One Commissioner errantly was concerned at the meeting that if Trinity received a grant for our projects she might not get her septic repair grant.This was not only in error but openly self serving. Others commented that this grant to Trinity will come from their taxes.The fact is,this was a missed opportunity to bring federal funds into our County, and essentially to provide free services to people in need here that the County is not meeting now. A shame no-one thought to point this out to correct such a misguided assumption. 1 Thank you Mark, for allowing me to correct the record, albeit too late, and thank you for having understood the constructive work that local (voting)volunteers at Trinity are doing to provide needed services here at no cost to the taxpayers when you originally agreed to co-sponsor our DOC grant application. Best regards, Jeff P.S. I reluctantly agreed to a request from Jim Scarantino from the P T Free Press for a meeting and walk through of the spaces planned for repairs at Trinity for tomorrow afternoon. I do not know him nor his motivations but any advice you may offer will be appreciated. Jeffrey D.

Jefferson County C053031 5/31/2022 PO Box 1220 Port Townsend, WA 98368 FROM THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR FOR DECENNIAL CENSUS PROGRAMS The U.S. Census Bureau is accepting cases for the 2020 Post-Census Group Quarters Review(PCGQR) beginning June 6, 2022 until June 30, 2023. The 2020 PCGQR provides a mechanism for governmental units in the United States and Puerto Rico, or their designated representatives,to request that the Census Bureau review their population counts for group quarters they believe were not counted correctly as of April 1, 2020. If the review process finds discrepancies in these population counts supported by sufficient documentation, approved revisions to the group quarters population will be provided to the Population Estimates Program.These updates will be incorporated into the next population base that the production schedule allows.The population estimates developed from the updated population base will also be used by the American Community Survey and the Puerto Rico Community Survey as survey controls so that the population totals from the survey conform to the updated population estimates. Governmental units include tribal, state, and local officials or their designated representatives. Please note that the 2020 PCGQR does not constitute a recount for the 2020 Census. For example, 2020 Census data products and counts delivered to the President for apportionment,or the 2020 Census Public Law 94-171 Redistricting Data Files and Geographic Products will not be updated as a result of the 2020 PCGQR. Please refer to the attached 2020 PCGQR flyer for more information about this voluntary program.

I know this was not an easy decision and our task is far from over.The real work will be in finding a permanent solution to the outdated revenue issue so I have no delusion that today was a victory. I appreciate the intelligent and dogged discourse,thoughtful and compassionate deliberations, commitment of time within already overloaded schedules, and pursuit of the information regardless where it may have been hiding. This work is laborious and challenging but the rewards are worth it.There is value in doing the work to see the birth of something good and right and positive for the future. Every time I plant a tree, I think of the people who will see it as an ancient giant and I know that I will never reap that reward. I plant a lot of trees which will outlive me by hundreds, and some by thousands, of years. It feels good to be the shepherd and deliver lambs into the flock.Very good, indeed!

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. You may not know -- there is zero public transportation for Marrowstone Island. I won't give any names but all examples are from Marrowstone Island. I know one islander killed a person driving while medical. Another just volunteered to stop driving after a near fatal "medical". One age 95 still driving. One 103 years old driving routinely. Dozens more than 80 years old. Some are ECCHO volunteer drivers because the need is so great. A Jefferson Transit employee said they can't make or change plans to include serving Marrowstone Island because the County Commissioners tell them what to do. I would use public transportation if usefully available. Consider At least a twice daily small car that takes riders to the nearest bus stop (miles away -- more for the Kingston connection). Perhaps a circular route to Hadlock QFC, Port Townsend and four corners. And (obviously need to come back). It would take time for a new option to catch on for proud, independent, seniors. Hint -- we pay a lot of taxes for zero public transportation. Consider using some grant money to plan and start a daily service. Thanks for all you do. Sorry to ask you to put this on your busy list, but it is important, and urgent.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Brent, Congratulations! I understand you are the new Jefferson County Fire Marshall. Will you please provide copies of the agreement between the County and Port Ludlow Associates regarding the fire hazard mitigation requirements for the abandoned Trail Nine Golf Course. Research notes on the fire hazard of the abandoned Port Ludlow Trail Nine Golf Course: I have researched the published opinions of forty-one wildfire experts that directly contradict Chief Martin's conclusion. In his opinion, a 12-14 foot strip along one (1%) percent of the eighty-three (83+) acre abandoned course is an adequate fire buffer. This is inconsistent with the 30 — 100 foot buffer recommended and/or required by every published report that I have read. Chief Martin's statement is of particular concern - that a "12-14 foot buffer is adequate,' when it is only 43% of the universally accepted 30-foot minimum requirement. Especially since there is an extreme amount of accumulated 4 foot+ grass/weeds on the abandoned course, and 99% of the course does not have the 8 foot mowed strip along the cart path. In my opinion, this is a complete failure by the Fire Department, Jefferson County, and the property owner (PLA) to seriously address the fire danger to our community. Particularly given the fact that a simple mowing schedule (on less than 6% of the abandoned property) could substantially mitigate this risk to our community. 1 Cited below are a few excerpts from those reports: #1 "When we completed the tour, there was consensus that the 8 foot mow strip PLA is doing, in conjunction with the 6 foot cart path (totaling an average of 12-14 feet) is an acceptable barr/erto the conditions we observed." (8/30/18) Brad Martin Fire Chief #2 USDA Forrest Service 5.11 Wildfire Defensible Buffer Zones Zone 1. A minimum of 30 feet is needed for firefighters to protect a structure from wildfire. On a slope, increase the distance to 100 feet downhill of the structure. #3 CAL FIRE ---100 Feet of Defensible Space is the Law In January 2005 a new state law became effective that extended the defensible space clearance around homes and structures from 30 feet to 100 feet. Proper clearance to 100 feet dramatically increases the chance of your house surviving a wildfire. This defensible space also provides for firefighter safety when protecting homes during a wildiand fire. #4 AWARE & PREPARE www.noozhawk.com (03/12/17) "100-Foot Buffer Zones Key to Keeping Wildfires from Your Home Defensible spaces and maintaining visibility not only limit spread of flames, but make responders'jobs easier." #5 How wildfire-prone neighborhoods in Sacramento region prepare for fire season -- - creating a defensible space is vital.

I have three little kids. As I was hustling to get them out the door for school yesterday, the middle one mysteriously lost his shoe, the oldest had to run back in for his favorite book, and the youngest needed "morrrrre f000000dd..." I wondered how we ever get anywhere on time. I came to my role at Olympic Angels like many of you - a person who cares deeply for kids, but with no direct experience of foster care. I find such meaning in really listening to our volunteers and families who are fostering. It's in the mix of the day-to-day parenting and the remarkable reality of our foster families that I start to grasp the deep purpose behind it all. Let me tell you about the time when one of our volunteers in the Love Box program became a foster parent overnight. I'm gonna call her Jen*for the purposes of this story... When Jen signed up as a volunteer, she told us that she had always wanted to be a foster parent. When Jen was a little girl, her friends would pretend that their baby dolls were their babies, and Jen would 2 pretend that she was a foster mom to hers. It had just always been in her mind that one day she would foster. When Jen joined the Love Box program, she wasn't ready to get her foster license just yet, but she knew she was ready to help another family who was fostering. When 7-year-old Isabelle*was placed in foster care with the family Jen was supporting through Love Box, Jen offered to become a weekly volunteer for little Isabelle. Jen started out volunteering by taking Isabelle on "every Tuesday gymnastics and tacos" outings. ...slowly, she became Isabelle's person- her touchstone for what would be a very tumultuous ride in the years to come. When Isabelle's first foster placement didn't work out, Jen attempted to make the transition smooth: she committed to being Isabelle's safe landing spot for a few days while the department figured out where she would go next. This way Isabelle didn't have to spend those nights in a hotel, or with yet another set of strangers. "My spouse and I became respite caregivers. In Isabelle's mind, she was just coming over for a sleepover.We took her camping and to Great Wolf Lodge.We would swim and watch movies and have dance parties.... So when her social worker asked if she could stay with us until they figured things out, YES seemed like the obvious answer." w Jen unexpectedly became the caregiver for the youth she was supporting, and suddenly had to be all of the places (doctor appointments, meeting with her Case Worker, family visits, school, etc) all of the time with her... The thing about that arrangement is: because of the lack of foster homes on the Olympic Peninsula, generally, there is nowhere else for kids in care to go within their community. 3 TI •` When a child enters foster care, they move on average seven times in two years. The attempt to pad the trauma during this transition and do what's best for Isabelle turned into a several- months stay with Jen. Not what anyone had planned on, but what was best for Isabelle at the time. She made it so Isabelle didn't have to change schools because of the sudden move. If Jen hadn't been in Isabelle's life that night they pulled her, she would have been moved out of the community. She would have had to be in the car for hours upon hours to visit her mom and brother. 10 411 Olympic Angels volunteers will follow the children they are serving whether they are reunified, adopted or moved to new foster homes. Olympic Angels volunteers humbly ask to be invited into their complicated lives to be a consistent support that walks alongside them through it all. Today Isabelle lives with extended family(kinship care), and Jen is still a point of normalcy for her. Through COVID, through all of the various transitions, and now in her current home, Jen has been by her side. Jen doesn't report her volunteer hours to Olympic Angels anymore. She says her role in Isabelle's life no longer"fits in a Love Box"- she loves that kid like family. 4 .... ‘,4 is , ith ., ai . 'i- a., Ili„ W M, , ,n, a .. - ar„r.,. :.,. rre ii" aIta , �.hw�A _ ,, 'a` sh ,, *Names have been changed for privacy,but the story and need for support like this is very real. Olympic Angels volunteer and donors are CHANGING THE WAY FOSTER CARE IS EXPERIENCED on the Olympic Peninsula by making potentially traumatic events in the lives of kids experiencing foster care a little less painful. Children entering the system are met with normalcy, belonging and love that people LIKE YOU provide them. If you are unable to give your time, the absolute next best way to impact the lives of kids and families experiencing foster care is to become a recurring donor. For as little as $20/month, you can step into the gaps of foster care. Consistent support will make Olympic Angels more sustainable for the children who need us.
