Jackson and family Regarding property at 1313 Irondale Rd., Port Hadlock J EFF ERSON COUNTY COIV MIS IONERS Dear Commissioners, I am confused. On several occasions I have received letters from one of your staff, Debra Murdock, DCD, that I/we have been fined or are being fined at the rate of $500 per day, maybe a year or longer, I do not know. Now, on June 13, 2022, another letter was sent from Ms. Murdock, this time stating fines of $500 per day to commence August 13, 2022. Another letter, also from Ms. Murdock indicated I/we are alleged to be involved with criminal activity at the above noted address and would be..."subject to conviction ..... shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1000 or by imprisonment for not more than 90 days, or both such fine and imprisonment." Various Jefferson County Codes are listed, several of which lead to you, the Board of County Commissioners as the final decision maker for these matters. All of these threats of fines and imprisonment are apparently in regards to alleged criminal activity (which I've consistently disputed) at 1313 Irondale Road. So please: Which is it? I am asking you, BOCC members, as the legislative body who places these codes into law, and who's staff administers and enforces these codes, and as Ms. Murdocks boss, to provide me with clarification. To me this is a serious matter, therefore 1) if you agree with Ms. Murdock and DCD, then please charge me/us with criminal activity. Why? So I/we may have the constitutional opportunity to defend myself/ourselves via due process in a court of law and before our peers with a jury. Is this asking for too much? Or 2) you could follow/allow the recommendations found in the current Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan from which I quote: "This Comprehensive Plan is a legal document that serves as a decision making guide for both officials and citizens. This Comprehensive Plan is a tool for making decisions about future growth and development in Jefferson County over the next 20 years." This was adopted (or written) in 2018. Further: "This Comprehensive Plan outlines goals and policies that help define, direct and guide future growth and development throughout the county." The Plan and Policy goes on in various places to "encourage creative housing opportunity ........... which includes, specifically, the Irondale/Hadlock area and lists ideas and concepts which we have done per Policy recommendations. Note: Back in 2018, I did, as a citizen (noted above) read this Comprehensive Plan and the one preceding it, including the Housing Task Force recommendations, and then, apparently out of ignorance, thought the Comprehensive Plan/Policy advise was for real ..... it had meaning, and then Uwe proceeded (to a very small degree) carry out the innovative ideas which were outlined. Are you going to punish me/us for this activity? One way or the other, please afford me the courtesy of a reply. I am asking for a response within the next 30 days, so I/we can move on with our lives. Respectfully submitted, CG ; �. U,+ 6w+I.t . June 25, 2022 To Mr. Butler, Director, DCD and Ms. MurdockfIECENED Appeal regarding: Order of Abatement ......................what ever that means. J U N 3 0 2022 The following is my APPEAL, written per your request in a letter dated Jun ; Y me on behalf of Chimacum Heights LLC, regarding a tiny lot located at 13 C�ERS Hadlock at which we have been accused/alleged to have conducted criminal e again, Uwe strongly dispute and do not agree with such allegations. For the record, should this ever become a civil matter, we are not in agreement. On page 4 of your current letter you ask for "a concise statement" of a factual and legal basis for my disagreement. I believe the legal issue is: the burden of proof is yours, not mine. I continue to claim my/our innocence until proven guilty in a court of law. For example Uwe have consistently maintained that Uwe have not cleared land within a shoreline as you allege. I/we have written and mailed, per certified mail, letters to you, the Director of DCD, the County Administrator and the County Commissioners pleading for you, any and all of you to come to the site in dispute and point out the alleged clearing. All to no avail, not one of you have honored my requests. And the factual: I am going to attempt to sent you 2 photos from my wife's cell phone/camera which will demonstrate factual evidence the property (some 200 feet) to the shoreline has not been cleared and is fully vegetated contrary to Ms. Murdock's testimony. Most of the large fir trees appear to be about 100 years old. It appears some have blown over in rare winter storms like the one in, if I recall was 1992 or 1993. The bottom line, it is my/our belief in Constitutional Law and the United States/United Nations Treaty that assumes we are innocent until proven guilty of said crimes; and that the Jefferson County Commissioners and their line staff (DCD, etc.) have no justification to initiate fines amounting to $500 per day (or any dollar amount) as you so stated in your above noted letter. If, in deed, you are convinced that Uwe are guilty of the crimes you allege, I again request that you take your allegations to the Jefferson County elected Prosecuting Attorney and bring charges against me/us so we may have the opportunity to defend ourselves in a court of law and with a jury of our peers. Is this asking too much? This ends my Appeal. Chimacum ghts LLC, James E.

Terry Sewell, Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin, and other local leaders in Birmingham, Alabama, to announce the Department is now accepting applications for the first -of -its - kind Reconnecting Communities pilot program. Birmingham will soon launch Birmingham Xpress, new bus rapid transit service that will connect Alabamans in 25 communities to jobs, schools, and healthcare. Created in the President's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, funding from the $1 billion pilot program will help reconnect communities that were previously cut off from economic opportunities by transportation infrastructure. Reconnecting a community could mean adapting existing infrastructure— such as building a pedestrian walkway over or under an existing highway— to better connect neighborhoods to opportunities or better means of access such as crosswalks and redesigned intersections. "Transportation can connect us to jobs, services, and loved ones, but we've also seen countless cases around the country where a piece of infrastructure cuts off a neighborhood or a community because of how it was built," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. "Using funds from President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we are proud to announce the launch of Reconnecting Communities: the first -ever dedicated federal initiative to unify neighborhoods living with the impacts of past infrastructure choices that divided them." USDOT will also be launching the Thriving Communities Initiative to provide technical assistance and hands- on planning support for transformative infrastructure projects that serve disadvantaged communities. This includes a new DOT Navigator to provide better access to technical assistance programs across the Department, and a new program to provide capacity building support to communities. U.S. Housing and Urban Development is providing complementary technical assistance as part of the Thriving Communities program to improve the coordination of housing and transportation planning to advance residents' access to opportunity and increase housing supply. USDOT and HUD plan to issue their notices of funding availability in the Fall to select capacity builders. While the Reconnecting Communities pilot program is the first -ever Federal program to have funding dedicated solely to reconnection efforts, other USDOT discretionary grant programs, including the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program, have funded projects such as interstate capping in Atlanta, a greenway project in St. Louis, and a Bus Rapid Transit line in Baltimore — all examples of connecting neighborhoods with job opportunities in a city where transportation infrastructure previously acted as a barrier. States are also encouraged to use their formula funds to help finance reconnection projects. The Reconnecting Communities pilot program may help support planning efforts that advance projects to a phase where they are more competitive for these other sources of capital funding. Eligible applicants for the Reconnecting Communities competitive grant pilot program include: States Local and Tribal governments Metropolitan planning organizations • Nonprofit organizations • Other transportation facility owners Preference will be given to applications from economically disadvantaged communities, especially those with projects that are focused on equity and environmental justice, have strong community engagement and stewardship, and a commitment to shared prosperity and equitable development. Of the $195 million available from the grant program this year, $50 million is dedicated to planning activities for communities that may be earlier in the process. The Reconnecting Communities Notice of Funding Opportunity announced today can be found here. Information on Reconnecting Communities technical assistance and other resources can be found here. Applications are due October 13, 2022. Awards are expected to be announced in early 2023. The new DOT Navigator can be accessed here and information on the Thriving Communities program can be found here. The Department will convene a series of stakeholder webinars to help potential applicants learn about the RCP grant program and what they need to know to prepare an application. The first one will be held Thursday, July 14 at 12 pm EST. CRYSTAL ELLERBE Vice President, Federal Relations 202.367.6012 1 202.333.2234 601 NEW JERSEY AVE.

Program Description 1. Overview The purpose of the RCP Program is to reconnect communities by removing, retrofitting, or mitigating transportation facilities such as highways and rail lines that create barriers to community connectivity including to mobility, access, or economic development. The program provides technical assistance and grant funding for planning and capital construction to address infrastructure barriers, restore community connectivity, and improve peoples' lives. The variety of transformative solutions to knit communities back together can include: high -quality public transportation, infrastructure removal, pedestrian walkways and overpasses, capping and lids, linear parks and trails, roadway redesigns and complete streets conversions, and main street revitalization. The RCP Program welcomes applications from diverse local, Tribal, and regional communities regardless of size, location, and experience administering Federal funding awards. The total amount of funding available in this NOFO for FY 2022 is up to $195 million.' The FY 2022 funding will be implemented in alignment with the priorities in Executive Order 14052, Implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (86 FR 64355).2 2. RCP Grant Types and Deliverables The RCP Program provides funding for two types of grants. Planning Grants fund the study of removing, retrofitting, or mitigating an existing facility to restore community connectivity; to conduct public engagement; and other transportation planning activities. Capital Construction Grants are to carry out a project to remove, retrofit, mitigate, or replace an existing eligible facility with a new facility that reconnects communities. See Section C for further eligibility information. 3. RCP Grant Priorities and Policy Priorities The primary goal of the RCP Program is to reconnect communities harmed by transportation infrastructure, through community -supported planning activities and capital construction projects that are championed by those communities. The RCP Program aligns with Biden-Harris Administration policies and priorities, including the DOT Strategic Plan goals of Safety, ' Sections 11101(d)(3) and 11509 of Division A of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58, November 15, 2021, `Bipartisan Infrastructure Law," or `BII ") authorized a total of $500 million of contract authority from the Highway Trust Fund to be awarded by the DOT for the FY 2022-2026 RCP Program. Title VIII, Division J appropriated an additional $500 million from the General Fund to be awarded by the DOT for the FY 2022-2026 RCP Program. Of the total amount of the FY 2022 RCP funding available in this notice, $95 million is authorized contract authority from the Highway Trust Fund (HTF) and $100 million is appropriations from the General Fund (GF). Due to the imposition of the obligation limitation on the HTF, approximately $86.7 million is available for award. Due to the Federal Highway Administration's 1.5% administrative take -down from GF funds, $98.5 million is available for award. 2 The priorities of Executive Order 14052, Implementation of the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act are: to invest efficiently and equitably, promote the competitiveness of the U.S. economy, improve job opportunities by focusing on high labor standards and equal employment opportunity, strengthen infrastructure resilience to hazards including climate change, and to effectively coordinate with State, local, Tribal, and territorial government partners. 2 Economic Strength, Equity, Climate and Sustainability, Transformation, and Organizational Excellence. s A cornerstone of the RCP program is DOT's Equity Strategic Goal to reduce inequities across our transportation systems and the communities they effect. The RCP Program seeks to redress the legacy of harm caused by transportation infrastructure, including barriers to opportunity, displacement, damage to the environment and public health, limited access, and other hardships. In pursuit of this goal, the program will support and engage economically disadvantaged communities to increase affordable, accessible, and multimodal access to daily destinations like jobs, healthcare, grocery stores, schools, places of worship, recreation, and park space. Thus, the program will be implemented in line with the DOT Equity Action Plan'; Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government; Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low -Income Populations; Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad; Interim Implementation Guidance for the Justice40 Initiative; and these additional equity -related objectives: Housing Supply: DOT intends to further the goals of the White House Housing Supply Action Plans by encouraging an increase in housing supply, particularly location -efficient affordable housing, locally -driven land use and zoning reform, rural main street revitalization, growth management, and transit -oriented development. Rural and Tribal Communities: Consistent with DOT's Rural Opportunities to Use Transportation for Economic Success (ROUTES) initiative, DOT seeks to award funding to rural and Tribal communities which face unique challenges related to mobility and economic development, including isolation, transportation cost burden, and traffic safety. In addition to Equity, DOT will also promote the following DOT Strategic Plan priorities in evaluating applications and RCP program implementation: • Safety: In support of the National Roadway Safety Strategy which commits DOT to respond to the current crisis in roadway fatalities6, DOT encourages communities to adopt and implement Complete Streets policies that prioritize safety of all users.' • Economic Strength and Global Competitiveness: The program intends to strengthen the economy through the creation of good -paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union, strong labor standards, and workforce programs. • Climate and Sustainability: As part of the United States' commitment to reaching net - zero emissions economy -wide by 2050, applicants are encouraged to consider environmental justice, climate change, energy efficiency, sustainability, resilience, flood risk, and shifting trips to more affordable, safe, and less polluting modes of travel. • Transformation: The program will advance innovative solutions to reconnecting communities through technical assistance, applicants' research and study of communities divided by infrastructure, and program evaluation that will assess outcomes of the pilot. See Section E. Li for more detail on merit criteria that implement priorities outlined above. 4. Technical Assistance The RCP Program provides DOT up to $30 million, cumulatively for FY 2022 — FY 2026, to provide technical assistance and capacity building support for RCP applicants and grant recipients that complements existing DOT technical assistance offerings.3 Recipients of FY 2022 Planning Grants and Capital Construction Grants will have access to RCP technical assistance based on the availability of DOT resources. DOT will prioritize technical assistance for recipients serving economically disadvantaged communities. Overall, the goals of RCP technical assistance are to build organizational and community capacity to engage in transportation planning and support communities in identifying innovative solutions to infrastructure challenges as part of the Federal program. Applicants may indicate their interest in receiving technical assistance by identifying the applicable topics listed in the Key Information table in Section D.2.ii. Later this year, DOT plans to issue more information about the availability of, and process for obtaining, access to a broad range of new technical assistance offerings that complement existing DOT resources. For prospective applicants who are not ready to apply for an FY 2022 Planning or Capital Construction Grant but would still like to receive technical assistance specific to the RCP program, DOT intends to provide technical assistance through learning academies starting in 2023. Separately, DOT will also conduct one or more future competitive solicitations to select partner organization(s) to provide technical assistance through the RCP program and other technical assistance programs. B. Federal Award Information 1. Total Funding Available In FY 2022, BIL allocates up to $195 million for the RCP program. It allocates $50 million for Planning Grants, which includes funding for technical assistance, and $145 million for Capital Construction Grant funds. See Section C — Eligibility Information. DOT understands that the amount allocated for Capital Construction Grants in FY 2022 may not cover the recipient's full request. If a Capital Construction Grant recipient does not receive the full funds requested, the funded RCP project will receive a `Reconnecting Extra' designation which encourages and facilitates RCP Program recipients' pursuit of supplemental DOT discretionary program funding. If a project designated `Reconnecting Extra' applies for funding under the FY 2023 — FY 2026 Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) or Multimodal Projects Discretionary Grant (MPDG) programs and is determined eligible, DOT will deem the RCP project application `Highly Recommended' subject to evaluation with the relevant program's merit criteria. The Department will still consider the RCP project's alignment with the relevant program's requirements and any project risks before making any award to that RCP project. Projects with this designation that apply for DOT financing programs, such as the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act 3 See contact information on page I for DOT operating administration field and headquarters offices to learn more about existing technical assistance opportunities beyond this program. M (TIFIA) program and Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) program, will be considered for assistance to the extent permissible under law. 2. Availability of Funds RCP Program grant funds are available until expended. However, to ensure that projects are started and completed in an efficient manner, DOT encourages all projects awarded with FY 2022 RCP Program grant funds to be obligated by the same date of September 30, 2025. DOT retains the right to prioritize projects for selection that are most likely to achieve this timeline and choose from which source to award funds to recipients, as applicable. Obligation occurs when a selected applicant and DOT enter into a written grant agreement after the applicant has satisfied applicable administrative requirements. Unless authorized by DOT in writing after DOT's announcement of FY 2022 RCP Program awards, any costs incurred prior to DOT's obligation of funds for a project ("pre -award costs") are ineligible for reimbursement per 23 CFR 1.9.4 In order to meet this timeline, DOT will prioritize project readiness and the likelihood that obligation can occur by this deadline when making project selections. RCP Program Funds are administered on a reimbursement basis. Grant recipients will generally be required to pay project costs up front using their own funds, and then request reimbursement for those costs through billings. DOT will reimburse recipients only for costs incurred and for work performed after a grant agreement has been executed, allowable expenses are incurred, and valid requests for reimbursement are submitted. DOT may at its sole discretion and in limited circumstances establish "pre -award" authority for recipients. Because award recipients under the RCP program may be first-time recipients of Federal funding, DOT is committed to implementing the program as flexibly as permitted by statute and providing assistance to help award recipients through the process of securing a grant agreement and delivering both Planning Grants and Capital Construction Grants. 3. Award Size i. Planning Grants In FY 2022, DOT may award up to $50 million for eligible public engagement, feasibility studies, and other planning activities. BIL specifies that the maximum RCP Program Planning Grant award is $2 million. DOT anticipates that Planning Grants may range from $100,000 to $2 million. ii. Capital Construction Grants In FY 2022, DOT may award up to $145 million for eligible construction activities necessary to carry out a project to remove, retrofit, or mitigate an existing eligible facility or replace an existing eligible facility with a new facility that reconnects communities. BIL specifies that the 4 Pre -award costs are only costs incurred directly pursuant to the negotiation and anticipation of the RCP Program award where such costs are necessary for efficient and timely performance of the scope of work, as determined by DOT. Costs incurred under an advance construction (23 U.S.C. 115) authorization before the DOT announces that a project is selected for a FY 2022 RCP Program award cannot be charged to FY 2022 RCP funds. Likewise, costs incurred under an FTA Letter of No Prejudice under Chapter 53 of title 49 U.S.C. before the DOT announces that a project is selected for a FY 2022 RCP Program award, cannot be charged to FY 2022 RCP Program funds. 5 minimum capital construction grant award is $5 million. DOT anticipates that Capital Construction Grants may range from $5 million to $100 million. If a project is partially funded, project components executed through the RCP award must demonstrate independent utility. C. Eligibility Information 1. Eligible Applicants The designated lead applicant will serve as the recipient to administer and implement the project. If the applicant seeks to transfer the award to another entity, that intention should be made clear in the application and a letter of support from the otherwise eligible, designated entity should be included in the application. Applicants without experience in DOT funding requirements may opt to jointly apply with a partner in the same State or region, that has an established financial relationship with DOT and has knowledge of Federal grant administration requirements, to minimize delays in establishing and implementing funding agreements. For joint application partners that would also receive grant funds through the recipient (lead applicant), or if the recipient seeks to transfer the award to another agency, the recipient must determine whether such arrangement would be contractual (example, with philanthropic or community -based organizations), or if the partners would be treated as a sub -recipient (example, with other governmental entities). Ultimately, the recipient is responsible for compliance with all Federal requirements applicable to the award. i. Planning Grants Eligible applicants are: (1) a State; (2) a unit of local government; (3) a Federally recognized Tribal government; (4) a Metropolitan Planning Organization; and (5) a non-profit organization. ii. Capital Construction Grants Eligible applicants must be the owner(s) of the eligible facility proposed in the project for which all necessary feasibility studies and other planning activities have been completed.' Owners of an eligible facility, for the purposes of submitting a grant application, may submit a joint application with: (1) a State; (2) a unit of local government; (3) a Federally recognized Tribal government; (4) a Metropolitan Planning Organization; and (5) a non-profit organization. 2. Cost Sharing and Matching i. Match Requirements Matching funds may include non -Federal sources such as: • State funds originating from programs funded by State revenue, • Local funds originating from State or local revenue -funded programs, • Philanthropic funds, or • Private funds. 5 DOT interprets this statutory pre -requisite (See Pub. L. 117-58, Section 11509 (d)(1)) to mean the capital construction project is included in the applicable Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and / or Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), Tribal Transportation Improvement Program (TTIP) or equivalent, as applicable, by the time of the obligation of the award. Public transportation projects should be included in the applicable Transit Asset Management Plan. 0 Grant recipients may also use in -kind or cash contributions toward local match requirements so long as those contributions meet the federal legal requirements. In -kind contributions may include compensation for community members' time, materials, pro bono work provided to the project by third parties, and donations from private sponsors.' ii. Federal Share a) Planning Grants Federal Share Planning Grants may not exceed 80 percent of the total cost of the project for which the grant is awarded. Recipients are required to contribute a local matching share of no less than 20 percent of eligible activity costs. As noted above, the local matching share may consist partially or entirely of in -kind contributions as well as contributions from the private sector and/or philanthropic organizations. b) Capital Construction Grants Federal Share Capital Construction Grants may not exceed 50 percent of the total cost of the project for which the grant is awarded. Federal assistance other than the RCP Program award (such as DOT formula funds, Tribal Transportation Program funds, or other Federal grants) may be used to partially satisfy the match requirement so long as total Federal assistance (all Federal sources), does not exceed 80 percent of the total cost of the project. Recipients are required to contribute a local matching share of no less than 20 percent of eligible activity costs. As noted above, the local matching share may consist partially or entirely of in -kind contributions as well as contributions from the private sector and/or philanthropic organizations. 3. Eligible Facilities, Activities, and Costs' The proposed project must address an "eligible facility," which is defined as a highway or other transportation facility that creates a barrier to community connectivity, including barriers to mobility, access, or economic development, due to high speeds, grade separations, or other design factors. Eligible facilities include: limited access highways, viaducts, any other principal arterial facilities, and other facilities such as transit lines, rail lines, gas pipelines, and airports. See Section H - Definitions for "highway" and Section D - Key Information table for a suggested list of other facilities. i. Eligible Planning Grant Activities and Costs: a) Public engagement activities, including community visioning or other place -based strategies for public input into project plans. b) Planning studies to assess the feasibility of removing, retrofitting, or mitigating an existing eligible facility to reconnect communities, including assessments of: ' Any in -kind contributions used to fulfill the cost -share requirement for Planning Grants and Capital Construction Grants must: be in accordance the cost principles in 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart E; including 2 CFR § 200.306(b) Cost Sharing or Matching; include documented evidence of completion within the period of performance; and support the execution of the eligible activities in Section C.3. See 23 CFR § 710.505 for requirements related to the donation of real property. Eligible activity costs must comply with the cost principles set forth in with 2 CFR Subpart E (i.e., 2 CFR § 200.403 and § 200.405). DOT reserves the right to make cost eligibility determinations on a case -by -case basis. 7 • Current traffic patterns on the facility and the surrounding street network. • Capacity of existing transportation networks to maintain mobility needs. • Alternative roadway designs or other uses for the right-of-way. • The project's impact on mobility of freight and people. • The project's impact on safety. • The estimated cost to restore community connectivity and to convert the facility to a different design or use, compared to any expected maintenance or reconstruction costs. • The project's anticipated economic impact and development opportunities. • The project's environmental, public health, and community impacts. c) Other planning activities in advance of the project, such as: Conceptual and preliminary engineering, or design and planning studies that support the environmental review for a construction project. Associated needs such as locally -driven land use and zoning reform, transit -oriented development, housing supply, in particular location -efficient affordable housing, managing gentrification and neighborhood change, proposed project impact mitigation, green and open space, local history and culture, access and mobility barriers, jobs and workforce, or other necessary planning activities as put forth by the applicant that do not result in construction. ii. Eligible Capital Construction Grant Projects and Costs: Eligible projects include those for which all necessary feasibility studies and other planning activities have been completed. Projects must be consistent with the Long -Range Statewide Transportation Plan, included in the Metropolitan Long -Range Plan (if applicable), and in the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and / or Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), Tribal Transportation Improvement Program (TTIP) or equivalent, as applicable, prior to the obligation of the award. Transit projects must be included in the investment prioritization of the relevant Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan by the time of the obligation of the award. Eligible construction grant activities include: preliminary and detailed design activities and associated environmental studies; predevelopment / preconstruction; permitting activities including the completion of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process; the removal, retrofit, or mitigation of an eligible facility; the replacement of an eligible facility with a new facility that restores community connectivity; delivering community benefits and the mitigation of impacts identified through the NEPA process or other planning and project development for the capital construction project. iii. Prohibited Use Funds may not be used to support or oppose union organizing. 4. Data Collection Requirements Performance indicators used in reporting (See Section F.3) should align with project goals at least two of the merit criteria defined in Section E.I.i. DOT funds may be used for data collection and performance reporting and should be accounted for in the applicant's budget. DOT will work with grant recipients to determine the most appropriate indicators and metrics to assess project benefits before the grant agreement is established. Areas of measurement will relate to: 1) mobility, 2) access, 3) safety, 4) environmental impacts, 5) congestion, 6) economic development, 7) quality of life, and 8) community engagement. Indicators may document changes from an established baseline such as: new or improved physical pathways and crossings; new transportation options and services; population changes in the project area; employment opportunities for residents; partnerships formed; reduction of fatalities and serious injuries in the project area; location -efficient affordable housing units preserved and created; changes in land value; and monetary commitments for reinvestment in the project area. For Planning Grants, the planning process could be used to collect data and establish a baseline of existing conditions and populations in the project area. For Capital Construction Grants, DOT will request a baseline report on existing conditions prior to the start of construction. (See Section F.3 — Reporting for specific requirements for deliverables and timelines.) 5. Application Limit DOT encourages joint applications from place -based partnerships headed by a lead applicant. A lead applicant may submit no more than three applications. Unrelated project components should not be bundled in a single application for the purpose of adhering to the limit. If a lead applicant submits more applications, only the last three received will be reviewed. D. Application and Submission Information 1.

This section should include sufficient information for DOT to assess the project's likelihood of being included in the STIP or equivalent by the time of award 12 obligation, and in the TAM Plan for transit projects, and can be reasonably expected to begin construction in a timely manner. As DOT will perform an Environmental Risk review, the applicant should provide a project schedule and address required approvals and permits, NEPA class of action and status, public involvement, right-of-way acquisition plans, risk and mitigation strategies. See Section E. Lii for full details on how Capital Construction Grant applications are reviewed for Project Readiness. For additional guidance and resources, visit hllps://www.transportation.gov/reconnecting e) Benefit Cost Analysis for Capital Construction Grants Planning Grant applicants do not need to submit the results of a benefit cost analysis (BCA). Capital Construction Grant applicants should include the results of a BCA. The BCA should be briefly summarized in the Project Narrative. Applicants should provide the technical basis of the BCA sufficient to allow DOT to reproduce the analysis. Supplemental materials do not count against the overall application length. Many benefits of RCP Program projects may be difficult to quantify but should be explained as well as possible, whether such benefits are quantified or unquantified. Any claimed benefits should be clearly tied to the expected outcomes of the project and address benefits for users of the facility as well as benefits to the surrounding communities. For additional guidance and resources, visit https://www.transportation.gov/reconnecting iv. Budget In addition to the SF-424, applicants should describe the budget for the RCP Program project. At a minimum, the project budget should include: • Costs for the FY 2022 RCP project. If the project contains distinct components or phases, the costs of each project component or phase should be separated and described. For a Capital Construction Grant, include information about the degree of design completion on which the cost estimates are based. • The source, amount, and usage for all funds to be used for eligible project costs. Funding sources should be listed in one of three categories: Reconnecting Communities, other Federal funds (which together with the Reconnecting Communities funds cannot exceed 80 percent of total costs) and the 20 percent non -Federal match such as local, State, Tribal, philanthropic, private, and/or "in -kind" funds. • For Federal funds to be used for eligible project costs, the amount, nature, and source of any required non -Federal match for those funds. If applicable, the budget should identify Federal funds that have been previously authorized by a Federal agency. • For non -Federal funds to be used for eligible project costs, documentation of funding commitments. • If the applicant is not a State DOT and contributions from a State DOT are included either as Federal funds or as non -Federal match, a supporting letter from the State DOT should be provided that indicates the amount and source of the funds The budget should show the distribution of each funding source in each major planning or construction activity, including sub -recipient activity and compensation. For each source of funds, the budget should discuss any restrictions on timing or use. For example, if a particular source of funds is available only after a condition is satisfied, the application should identify that condition and describe the applicant's control over whether it is 13 satisfied. Similarly, if a particular source of funds is available for expenditure only during a fixed time period, the application should describe that restriction. Note: The budget should not include any expenses incurred prior to award of the grant. Expenses incurred between time of award and obligation are not eligible for reimbursement or for cost sharing, unless written authorization is received at the time of award selection, as described in Section B.2. 3. Unique Entity Identifier and System for Award Management (SAM) Each applicant is required to: (i) Register in SAM.gov before submitting an application; (ii) Provide a valid unique entity identifier in its application; and (iii) Maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times during which it has an active Federal award or an application or plan under consideration by a Federal agency. DOT may not make a Federal award to an applicant until the applicant has complied with all unique entity identifier and SAM requirements. If an applicant has not fully complied with the requirements by the time DOT is ready to make an award, DOT may determine that the applicant is not qualified to receive an award. 4. Submission Dates and Times Applications must be submitted by 11:59 PM EDT on Thursday, October 13, 2022. 5. Funding Restrictions For funding restrictions that may affect an applicant's ability to develop an application and budget consistent with program requirements, see Section C of this notice. 6.

Application Review Information 1. Criteria This section specifies the evaluation criteria DOT will use to evaluate and select Planning Grant and Capital Construction Grant applications for RCP Program grant awards: Merit Criteria, Project Readiness, Benefit Cost Analysis (for Capital Construction Projects), and Other Considerations. Section E.2 describes the review, rating, and selection process. As described in greater detail in Sections E.1 and E.2, some evaluations are conducted for only a subset of eligible applications that advance to "Second -Tier Analysis." i. Merit Criteria #1: Equity, Environmental Justice, and Community Engagement DOT will rate Planning Grant proposals on their approach to, and Capital Construction Grant proposals on having addressed, one or more of the following: 14 Analysis, informed by community engagement findings and research, of harmful historic or current policies (e.g., displacement, segregation, exclusionary zoning'), existing socioeconomic disparities, environmental burdens and risks, the needs of the surrounding community —including special consideration for those most affected by the eligible facility —and how proposed solutions equitably distribute benefits and mitigate impacts supported by geospatial tools like EPA's EJSCREEN and FHWA's Screening Tool for Equi . Analysis of Projects. Community Participation Plan that facilitates meaningful engagement in planning, design, construction, operations, and related land use decisions. The Plan engages hard - to -access community members through culturally appropriate and innovative practices, which may include: surveys, interviews, focus groups, reimbursing local organizations and community members for their time and knowledge, childcare at public meetings, virtual and in -person platforms, and multi -language translation and outreach. The Plan establishes goals and measures for effectiveness.9 In addition to the above, Capital Construction Grant applications should also address mitigation plans for negative impacts of the proposed capital project by describing: Any construction -related displacement in the community and providing a robust mitigation plan that exceeds the basic requirements of the Uniform Relocation Act. The anticipated negative construction impacts, such as noise, dust, pollution, public transportation service disruptions, disturbances to sacred or historic sites, or flood risks, and a robust mitigation plan. #2: Mobility and Community Connectivity DOT will rate Planning Grant proposals on their approach to, and Capital Construction Grant proposals on having addressed, one or more of the following: Facility presents significant barriers to access, mobility, and economic development and is poorly suited to the community. Proposes removal of barriers, including over -reliance on automobiles, to reconnect communities for people to live, work, play, and move freely and safely. Existing feasibility studies provide basis for further investigation to creatively convert the corridor for better access to daily destinations like jobs, healthcare, grocery stores, schools, places of worship, recreation, and parks. New or improved, affordable transportation options to increase safe mobility and connectivity for all, including for people with disabilities, through lower -carbon travel like walking, cycling, rolling, and transit that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote active travel. s See How We Grow Economic Opportunity for All in USDOT's Beyond Traffic report for more information, https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/docsBeyondTraffic_tagged_508 final.pdf. 9 For current recipients of Federal financial assistance, please describe how your Title VI Plan and Community Participation Plan inform the activities described in the Reconnecting Communities grant application. For new applicants of Federal financial assistance, please describe any current or anticipated activities in support of drafting a Title VI Plan and Community Participation Plan and timeline for completion pursuant to the Title VI regulations, See 49 CFR § 21. For details on the Community Participation Plan, see DOT Title VI Order 1000.12C. See also Planning Assistance and Standards, Interested parties, public involvement, and consultation. For State DOTS, see 23 CFR § 450.210 (a)(1)(ix); For MPOs, see 23 CFR § 450.316 (a)(1)(x). 15 Safe accommodation for all users and seamless integration with the surrounding character, context, and land use with consideration of climate resilience, stormwater and flood risk management, public health, and the economy.10 Facility replacement or significant reconstruction is anticipated within a 20-year period based on facility age and condition. In addition to the above, Capital Construction Grant applications should also address goods movement by describing: • Impacts to goods movement, both regional and local, that uses the eligible facility. 43: Community -based Stewardship, Management, and Partnerships DOT will rate Planning Grant proposals on their approach to, and Capital Construction Grant proposals on having addressed, one or more of the following: Community -centered approach to envision a reconnection solution that meaningfully redresses inequities and benefits economically disadvantaged communities. Formal partnerships, substantiated through signed commitment letters and budget, include entities with geographic ties to communities adjacent to the facility. Partners may include community -based organizations, anchor institutions, community development financial institutions, philanthropic and civic organizations, private sector entities, and State and local government. A representative community advisory group, advisory board or other place -based management organization to oversee community -developed priorities and initiatives, including the use of a community land trust, community benefits agreement, or other community development activities to redress transportation -related disparities. Capital Construction Grant applications should also address how resources of partners and other Federal and non -Federal funds will support the success of proposed activities by providing: A complete description of resources committed to the project and fully outlining funding commitments from Federal and non -Federal sources, including: DOT formula funding, State or local funding, in -kind support, philanthropic contributions, public and private financing, and private sector funds. All funding should be reflected numerically in the budget. Except as necessary to determine eligibility, as described in Section C2, and as a factor in the Financial Completeness Assessment, as described in Section E.l.ii, DOT does not consider the proposed Federal share of an application when selecting among eligible applications. #4: Equitable Development and Shared Prosperity DOT will rate Planning Grant proposals on their approach to, and Capital Construction Grant proposals on having addressed, one or more of the following: io The project application demonstrates that the project will be constructed or upgraded consistent with the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard, to the extent consistent with current law. 16 • Comprehensive plan or framework that outlines a community's vision, policies, and priorities to increase mobility and connectivity, create thriving and resilient communities, and redress inequities and barriers to opportunity. • Community restoration, stabilization, and anti -displacement strategies, such as value capture, assistance for renters and legacy homeowner and small businesses, preservation, rehabilitation and expansion of location -efficient affordable housing, mixed -income, mixed use development, affordable commercial spaces, and other community wealth - building activities. • Creative place -making that celebrates local history and culture through public art, greenspace, and recreational spaces for residents and visitors. • Local inclusive economic development and entrepreneurship such as the utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, Minority -owned Businesses, Women -owned Businesses, or 8(a) firms. In addition to the above, Capital Construction Grant applications should also address labor considerations by describing how the grant will support and use: • Good -paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union, the incorporation of strong labor standards, pro -active anti -discrimination and anti -harassment plans, project labor agreements, workplace rights notices, training and placement programs, and local hiring and procurement preferences, particularly for underrepresented workers and individuals with convictions. • High -quality workforce development programs with supportive services to train, place, and retain workers, especially joint -labor management training partnerships and registered apprenticeships. ii. Project Readiness For projects that advance to Second -Tier Analysis during application evaluation, DOT will assess project readiness to evaluate the likelihood of a successful project. In the project readiness analysis, DOT will evaluate Planning Grant applications and Capital Construction Grant applications according to a Technical Assessment and Financial Completeness Assessment. DOT will also evaluate Capital Construction Grant applications for Environmental Risk. Technical Assessment Financial Completeness Environmental Risk Planning Grants X X Capital Construction Grants X X X Technical Assessment is based on information contained throughout the application and does not require an additional submission. The Technical Assessment addresses the applicant's capacity to successfully deliver the project in compliance with Federal requirements, previous experience with DOT discretionary grant awards, and the technical experience and resources dedicated to the project. Financial Completeness Assessment is based on information contained throughout the application and does not require an additional submission. The Financial Completeness Assessment reviews the availability of matching funds and whether the applicant 17 presented a complete funding package. For projects that receive a rating of `complete' and include funding estimates that are based on early stages of design (e.g., less than 30 percent design) or outdated cost estimates, without specified contingency, evaluators may add a comment to note the potential for uncertainty in the estimated project costs. All applicants should describe a plan to address potential cost overruns. Environmental Risk Assessment requires additional information from the Capital Construction Grant applicant. It analyzes the project's environmental approvals and the likelihood of outstanding, necessary approvals affecting project obligation. iii. Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) For Capital Construction Grant projects that advance to a Second -Tier Analysis, DOT will consider the project's costs and benefits. To the extent possible, DOT will rely on the applicant's submission of well -supported BCA analysis results described in Section D.2.iii.e. DOT acknowledges that many of aspects of reconnecting solutions, such as connectivity, community benefits, and quality of life, are difficult to quantify. Applicants should nonetheless discuss these types of benefits qualitatively. DOT will assign a rating to the project of either negative (costs exceed benefits), positive (benefits exceed costs), or uncertain. Projects with negative ratings may be selected for an award only if the project demonstrates clear potential benefits to connectivity, community engagement, quality of life for economically disadvantaged communities, particularly in geographically remote or less populated areas which may not be fully reflected in the BCA analysis. 2. Review and Selection Process This section addresses the methodology for evaluation, including intake, how applications will be rated according to selection criteria and considerations, and how those criteria and considerations will be used to and the process for creating a the list of Highly Rated Applications for Consideration by the Secretary. The RCP Program grant review and selection process consists of: eligibility review; Merit Criteria review; Project Readiness; Benefit Cost Analysis (for Capital Construction Grants); and Senior Review. The Secretary makes final project selections. i . Application Intake For each application, an initial review will assess whether the applicant is eligible and submitted all the information requested for a complete application. Applications that may not have all the necessary components will be referred to an Evaluation Management Oversight Team, which will contact the applicant if it is determined they are an eligible applicant and request the missing information with a response time of 5 business days. ii. Merit Criteria Ratings Teams comprising DOT staff, Federal inter -agency partner staff, and contractor staff review all eligible applications received by the deadline for a Merit Review and assign ratings as described in Section E.I.i. For each Merit Criterion, DOT will consider whether the application narrative is responsive to the selection criterion focus areas which will result in a rating of `High,' `Medium,' `Low,' or `Non -Responsive' : IN Rating Scale High Medium Low Non -Responsive The application is The application is The application is The narrative indicates the substantively and moderately minimally proposal is comprehensively responsive to the responsive to the counter to the responsive to the criterion. It makes criterion. It criterion or does criterion.

It program goals as as described in the program goals as does not advance described in the described in the criterion criterion descriptions. criterion or may or negatively impact descriptions. descriptions. criterion goals. Based on the criteria ratings, an overall application merit rating of `Highly Recommended,' `Recommended,' `Acceptable,' or `Not Recommended' will be assigned using the following methodology: Overall Application Rating Individual Criteria Ratings Highly Recommended • At least two `High' ratings, • Zero `Non -Responsive' ratings Recommended • At least one `High' rating, • No more than one `Low' rating, and • Zero `Non -Responsive' ratings Acceptable • Combination of ratings that do not fit within the definitions of Highly Recommended, Recommended, or Not Recommended Not Recommended • Two or more `Non -Responsive' ratings iii. Senior Review Team (SRT) Phase Applications that receive an overall rating of `Highly Recommended' based on the methodology above, proceed to the Second -Tier Analysis. The SRT may advance `Recommended' applications that exhibit exceptional benefits for economically disadvantaged communities per Criterion 92 — Mobility and Community Connectivity and Criterion 94 — Equitable Development and Shared Prosperity to Second -Tier Analysis. 19 iv. Second -Tier Analysis Second -Tier Analysis for Planning Grant applications consists of a two-part project readiness assessment for Technical Assessment and Financial Completeness. Second -Tier Analysis for Capital Construction Grant applications consists of a review of the Benefit -Cost Analysis and a three-part readiness assessment for Technical Assessment, Financial Completeness, and Environmental Risk. Assessments will be rated as follows: • Technical Assessment results in a rating of: `Certain,' `Somewhat Certain,' `Uncertain,' or `Unknown.' Lack of previous project delivery according to Federal requirements is not sufficient justification for a rating of `Uncertain,' but may result in a rating of `Unknown.' • The Financial Completeness Assessment reviews the availability of matching funds and whether the applicant presented a complete funding package. It results in a rating of `Complete,' `Partially Complete,' or Incomplete.' • Environmental Risk Assessment analyzes the project's environmental approvals and likelihood of the necessary approvals affecting timely project obligation. It results in a rating of `High Risk,' `Moderate Risk,' or `Low Risk.' • Benefit Cost Analysis results are Positive (benefits outweigh costs) or Negative (costs outweigh benefits) or Uncertain. Low ratings in any of these readiness areas do not disqualify projects from award, but competitive applications clearly and directly describe a realistic and achievable project and address risk mitigation strategies. A project with mitigated risks or with a risk mitigation plan is more competitive than a comparable project with unaddressed risks. Each project readiness criterion has its own rating, but translates to `High,' `Medium,' or 'Low': Rating High Medium Low Technical Certain: The team is Somewhat Uncertain: The team Assessment confident in the Certain/Unknown: is not confident in the applicant's capacity The team is moderately applicant's capacity to deliver the project confident in the to deliver this project in a manner that applicant's capacity to in a manner that satisfies federal deliver the project in a satisfies federal requirements manner that satisfies requirements federal requirements Financial Complete: The Partially Complete: Incomplete: Completeness Project's federal and Project funding is not The project lacks full non-federal sources fully committed but funding, or one or are fully appears highly likely to more federal or non - committed —and be secured in time to federal match sources there is demonstrated meet the project's are still uncertain as funding available to construction schedule to whether they will cover be secured in time to 20 contingency/cost meet the project's increases. construction schedule Environmental Low Risk: The Moderate Risk: The High Risk: The Risk Assessment Project has project has not completed project has not (Capital completed NEPA or NEPA or secured completed or begun Construction only) it is highly likely that necessary federal NEPA and there are they will be able to permits, and it is known environmental complete NEPA and uncertain whether they or litigation concerns other environmental will be able to complete associated with the reviews in the time NEPA or secure project. necessary to meet necessary federal permits their project in the time necessary to schedule. meet their project schedule. Based on the Second -Tier Analysis, DOT will develop an aggregate Project Readiness rating of `Very Likely,' `Likely,' or `Unlikely' using the following methodology: Overall Project Readiness Rating Individual Criteria Individual Criteria Ratings for Planning Ratings for Construction (2 Factors) (3 Factors) Very Likely: Based on the information • Two `High' • All `High' provided in the application and the • Two `High,' one proposed scope of planning activities or `Medium' construction project, it is very likely the applicant can successfully complete the ro' ect.

Highly Rated Applications for Secretary's Consideration Following completion of Second -Tier Analysis, the SRT determines which applications with Second -Tier Analysis are designated as Highly Rated. The SRT reserves the right to confer and include consultation with DOT Field Offices and inter -agency Federal Departmental partners in determining which applications with Second -Tier Analysis are designated as Highly Rated. In addition to information provided in applications and the results of the Merit Criteria reviews and Second -Tier Analysis, the SRT may consider their personal knowledge and information provided by DOT Field Offices and inter -agency Federal partners on the alignment of specific applications with the criteria described in Section E.1. For each grant type, the SRT will present the Secretary of Transportation with a list of Highly Rated Applications for the Secretary's Consideration. The SRT may refer select Capital Construction Grant applications for consideration for Planning Grant awards where project sponsors would benefit from additional planning, feasibility, design, and engineering to improve project readiness. Capital Construction Grant applications eligible for this consideration will have a `Highly Recommended' merit rating, a `Likely' or `Unlikely' project readiness rating, and will exhibit exceptional benefits for economically disadvantaged communities per Criterion 92 — Mobility and Community Connectivity and Criterion 94 — Equitable Development and Shared Prosperity. The SRT may advise the Secretary on any application on the list of Highly Rated Applications, including options for reduced awards. The Secretary makes final selections consistent with selection criteria and statutory requirements. The Secretary's selections identify the applications that best address program criteria outlined in Section E and program goals in Section A and are most deserving of funding. To support the program goal of more equitable investment in economically disadvantaged communities, the SRT will seek to present a list of Highly Rated Applications sufficient to award the majority of RCP Planning Grant benefits, in the form of total overall RCP Planning Grant funds, to Planning Grant applications that serve economically disadvantaged communities. The Secretary may consider benefits to economically disadvantaged communities, urban / rural / Tribal balance, geographic, and organizational diversity when selecting RCP Program grant awards. 3. Additional Information Prior to award, each selected applicant will be subject to a risk assessment as required by 2 CFR § 200.206. DOT must review and consider any information about the applicant that is in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), the designated integrity and performance system accessible through SAM. An applicant may review information in FAPIIS and comment on any information about itself that a Federal awarding agency previously entered. DOT will consider comments by the applicant, in addition to the other information in FAPIIS, in making a judgment about the applicant's integrity, business ethics, and record of performance under Federal awards when completing the review of risk posed by applicants. 22 F. Federal Award Administration Information 1. Federal Award Notice Following the evaluation outlined in Section E, the Secretary will announce awarded projects by posting a list of selected projects at https://www.transportation.gov/reconnecting. The posting of the list of selected award recipients will not constitute an authorization to begin performance. Following the announcement, for each application received, DOT will provide email notification the point of contact listed in the SF-424 stating whether the application was selected for award. For selected applications, DOT will initiate negotiation of a grant agreement with that contact. 2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements i. Equity and Barriers to Opportunity Each applicant selected for RCP Program grant funding must demonstrate effort to improve equity and reduce barriers to opportunity as described in Section A. Award recipients that have not sufficiently addressed equity and barriers to opportunity in their planning, as determined by DOT, will be required to do so before receiving funds, consistent with Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government (86 FR 7009). Capital construction grant applications that have not sufficiently considered equity, community engagement, and safeguards to retain affordability for existing residents and businesses in project corridors and surrounding communities, as determined by DOT, will be required to do so before receiving funds for construction. ii. Labor and Workforce Each applicant selected for RCP Program Capital Construction Grant funding must demonstrate, to the full extent possible consistent with the law, an effort to create good -paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union and incorporation of high labor standards as described in Section A.3. If applicants have not sufficiently considered job quality and labor rights in their planning, as determined by the Department of Labor, they will be required to do so before receiving funds, consistent with Executive Order 14025, Worker Organizing and Empowerment (86 FR 22829), and Executive Order 14052, Implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (86 FR 64335). Recipients of an award under this program are also required to comply fully with the Davis - Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3141-3148), which requires all laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors in the performance of construction, alteration, or repair work on a project assisted in whole or in part by an award made available under this program be paid wages at rates not less than those prevailing on similar projects in the locality, as determined by the Secretary of Labor. Equal employment opportunity is an important priority. DOT wants to ensure that sponsors have the support they need to meet requirements under EO 11246, Equal Employment Opportunity (30 FR 12319, and as amended). All Federally assisted contractors are required to make good faith efforts to meet the goal that women perform at least 6.9 percent of construction 23 project hours and people of color perform at least the construction project hours target pertinent to the project's geography." The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has a Mega Construction Project Program through which it engages with project sponsors as early as the design phase to help promote compliance with non-discrimination and affirmative action obligations. OFCCP will identify projects that receive an award under this notice and are required to participate in OFCCP's Mega Construction Project Program from a wide range of federally assisted projects over which OFCCP has jurisdiction and that have a project cost above $35 million. DOT will require project sponsors with costs above $35 million that receive awards under this funding opportunity to partner with OFCCP, if selected by OFCCP, as a condition of their DOT award.12 Under that partnership, OFCCP will ask these project sponsors to make clear to prime contractors in the pre -bid phase that project sponsor's award terms will require their participation in the Mega Construction Project Program. iii. Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience It is the policy of the United States to strengthen the security and resilience of its critical infrastructure against both physical and cyber threats, consistent with Presidential Policy Directive 21 - Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience. Each Capital Construction Grant applicant selected for Federal funding under this notice must demonstrate, prior to the signing of the grant agreement, effort to consider and address physical and cyber security risks relevant to the transportation mode and type and scale of the project. Projects that have not appropriately considered and addressed physical and cyber security and resilience in their planning, design, and project oversight, as determined by DOT and the Department of Homeland Security, will be required to do so before receiving funds for construction, consistent with the Cybersecurity performance goals for critical infrastructure and control systems directed by the National Security Presidential Memorandum on Improving Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure Control Systems, found at https://www.cisa.gov/control-systems-goals-and-objectives. iv. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) Funding recipients must comply with NEPA under 42 U.S.C. §§ 4321 et seq. and the Council on Environmental Quality's NEPA implementing regulations at 40 CFR §§ 1500-1508, where applicable. v. Other Administrative and Policy Requirements All awards will be administered pursuant to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards found in 2 CFR § 200, Subpart F, as adopted by DOT at 2 CFR § 1201. Additionally, as permitted under the requirements described above, applicable Federal laws, rules, and regulations of the relevant operating administration (e.g., the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration, Federal Railroad 11 Visit hLtps://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ofccp/ParticipationGoals.pdf for more information. 12 Additional information on how OFCCP makes their selections for participation in the Mega Construction Project Program is outlined under "Scheduling" on the Department of Labor website: https://www. do 1. gov/agencies/ofccp/fags/construction-compliance. 24 Administration, etc.).13 DOT anticipates grant recipients will have varying levels of experience administering Federal funding agreements and complying with Federal requirements, DOT will take a risk -based approach to RCP Program grant agreement administration to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. As expressed in Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future Is Made in All ofAmerica by All ofAmerica's Workers (86 FR 7475), it is the policy of the executive branch to maximize, consistent with law, the use of goods, products, and materials produced in, and services offered in, the United States. Infrastructure projects are subject to the Build America, Buy America Act (Pub. L. No 117-58, div. G §§ 70901-70927) and applicable DOT Buy America requirements. DOT expects all recipients to be able to complete their projects without needing a waiver of those requirements. However, to obtain a waiver, a recipient must demonstrate how they will maximize the use of domestic goods, products, and materials in constructing their project. Except as authorized under waivers issued by DOT, those statutes generally require the steel, iron, manufactured products, and construction materials used in a project to be produced in the United States. For additional information on DOT's Buy America requirements, see hllps://www.transportation.gov/office-policy /importation-policy/made-in-america. RCP Program applications should demonstrate that the recipient has a plan for compliance with civil rights obligations and nondiscrimination laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and implementing regulations (49 CFR § 21), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and accompanying regulations. This should include a current Title VI plan, completed Community Participation Plan, or timeline for completion as referenced in Section E, and the establishment of an ADA Transition Plan. Additionally, DOT encourages RCP Program award recipients to adhere to the proposed Public Rights -of -Way Accessibility Guidelines and utilize universal design principles.14 DOT's and the applicable Operating Administrations' Office of Civil Rights may work with awarded grant recipients to ensure full compliance with Federal civil rights requirements. In connection with any program or activity conducted with or benefiting from funds awarded under this notice, recipients of funds must comply with all applicable requirements of Federal law, including, without limitation, the Constitution of the United States; the conditions of performance, non-discrimination requirements, and other assurances made applicable to the award of funds in accordance with regulations of the Department of Transportation; and applicable Federal financial assistance and contracting principles promulgated by the Office of Management and Budget. In complying with these requirements, recipients, in particular, must ensure that no concession agreements are denied or other contracting decisions made on the basis of speech or other activities protected by the First Amendment. If DOT determines that a recipient has failed to comply with applicable Federal requirements, DOT may terminate the award of funds and disallow previously incurred costs, requiring the recipient to reimburse any expended award funds.

The Reconnecting Communities FY 2022 Terms and Conditions will be similar to the RAISE FY 2021 Terms and Conditions and will include relevant updates consistent with this notice. 14 https://www.access-board.gov/prowag( 25 3. Reporting i. Progress Reporting on Grant Activities Progress reporting addresses both project administration and overall project benefits. It should include measurable goals or targets that DOT will use internally to determine whether the project meets program goals, and grant funds achieve the intended long-term outcomes of the RCP Program. Section C - Data Collection Requirements. During the project's period of performance, recipients must submit regular Performance Progress Reports (SF-PPR) and Federal Financial Reports (SF-425) to monitor project administration and ensure accountability and financial transparency in the RCP Program. RCP Program recipients must also submit annual reports that address both project administration and the overall benefits delivered to the project area that were articulated in the applicants' grant proposal and agreed upon with DOT in the grant agreement prior to the obligation of the award. Five years after the project is complete, Capital Construction Grant recipients should submit a report fully documenting outcomes achieved in association with the RCP Program project. ii. Post Award Reporting Requirements / Reporting of Matters Related to Recipient Integrity and Performance If the total value of a selected applicant's currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from all Federal awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000 for any period of time during the period of performance of this Federal award, then the applicant during that period of time must maintain the currency of information reported in SAM that is made available in the designated integrity and performance system (currently the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)) about civil, criminal, or administrative proceedings described in paragraph 2 of this award term and condition. This is a statutory requirement under section 872 of Pub. L. No.110-417, as amended (41 U.S.C. § 2313). As required by section 3010 of Pub. L. No. 111-212, all information posted in the designated integrity and performance system on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews required for Federal procurement contracts, will be publicly available. Additionally, if applicable funding recipients must be in compliance with the audit requirements in 2 CFR § 200, Subpart F. iii. Program Evaluation As a condition of grant award, RCP Program grant recipients may be required to participate in an evaluation undertaken by DOT, or another agency or partner. The evaluation may take different forms such as an implementation assessment across grant recipients, an impact and/or outcomes analysis of all or selected sites within or across grant recipients, or a benefit/cost analysis or assessment of return on investment. DOT may require applicants to collect data elements to aid the evaluation. As a part of the evaluation, as a condition of award, grant recipients must agree to: (1) make records available to the evaluation contractor; (2) provide access to program records, and any other relevant documents to calculate costs and benefits; (3) facilitates access to relevant information as requested; and (4) follow evaluation procedures as specified by the evaluation contractor or DOT staff. 26 Recipients and sub -recipients are also encouraged to consider and incorporate program evaluation activities, which necessarily includes data collection, from the outset of their program design and -to meaningfully document and measure the effectiveness of their projects and strategies. Title I of the Foundations for Evidence -Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (Evidence Act), Pub. L. No. 115-435 (2019) urges Federal awarding agencies and Federal assistance recipients and sub -recipients to use program evaluation as a critical tool to learn, to improve equitable delivery, and to elevate program service and delivery across the program lifecycle. Evaluation means "an assessment using systematic data collection and analysis of one or more programs, policies, and organizations intended to assess their effectiveness and efficiency" (codified at 5 U.S.C. § 311). For grant recipients, evaluation expenses are allowable costs (either as direct or indirect), unless prohibited by statute or regulation, and such expenses may include the personnel and equipment needed for data infrastructure and expertise in data analysis, performance, and evaluation (2 CFR §200).

As defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Gentrification gentrification commonly refers to the process of neighborhood change that occurs as places of lower real estate value are transformed into places of higher real estate value. In recent years, gentrification has become an increasingly common occurrence because of the growing popularity of urban centers and existing communities. Gentrification is a nuanced process whose outcomes may be viewed as: positive based on improvements to physical and economic infrastructure; negative when cultural assets and cherished institutions are compromised; or both positive and negative when important services (retail, housing, transportation, and the like) are provided, but are unaffordable by long-standing residents.

U.S. Department of Transportation PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN BUILDING A BETTER AMERICA BUILD.GOV RECONNECTING COMMUNITIES Toolkit for Amplification of the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Discretionary Grant Program ■ FA 1Aww Reconnecting Communities Toolkit for Amplification of the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Discretionary Grant Program Background: On June 30th, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced the notice of funding opportunity for the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Discretionary Grant Program. This is a historic investment in communities who are already leading the way in building transportation networks that connect people to opportunities. And with the funding in the President's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we can do even more. The funding can serve as a catalyst for communities to build transportation that benefits everyone by making it easier and more affordable for people to live where they want to live, to get to work, to connect businesses to customers and prospective employees, and children to travel safely in their communities.

Terri Sewell, Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin, and other local leaders in Birmingham, Alabama, to announce the Department is now accepting applications for the first -of -its -kind Reconnecting Communities pilot program. Birmingham will soon launch Birmingham Xpress, new bus rapid transit service that will connect Alabamans in 25 communities to jobs, schools, and healthcare. Created in the President's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, funding from the $1 billion pilot program will help reconnect communities that were previously cut off from economic opportunities by transportation infrastructure. Reconnecting a community could mean adapting existing infrastructure— such as building a pedestrian walkway over or under an existing highway— to better connect neighborhoods to opportunities or better means of access such as crosswalks and redesigned intersections. "Transportation can connect us to jobs, services, and loved ones, but we've also seen countless cases around the country where a piece of infrastructure cuts off a neighborhood or a community because of how it was built," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. "Using funds from President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we are proud to announce the launch of Reconnecting Communities: the first -ever dedicated federal initiative to unify neighborhoods living with the impacts of past infrastructure choices that divided them." USDOT will also be launching the Thriving Communities Initiative to provide technical assistance and hands-on planning support for transformative infrastructure projects that serve disadvantaged communities. This includes a new DOT Navigator to provide better access to technical assistance programs across the Department, and a new program to provide capacity 3 building support to communities. U.S. Housing and Urban Development is providing complementary technical assistance as part of the Thriving Communities program to improve the coordination of housing and transportation planning to advance residents' access to opportunity and increase housing supply. USDOT and HUD plan to issue their notices of funding availability in the Fall to select capacity builders. While the Reconnecting Communities pilot program is the first -ever Federal program to have funding dedicated solely to reconnection efforts, other USDOT discretionary grant programs, including the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program, have funded projects such as interstate capping in Atlanta, a greenway project in St. Louis, and a Bus Rapid Transit line in Baltimore — all examples of connecting neighborhoods with job opportunities in a city where transportation infrastructure previously acted as a barrier. States are also encouraged to use their formula funds to help finance reconnection projects. The Reconnecting Communities pilot program may help support planning efforts that advance projects to a phase where they are more competitive for these other sources of capital funding. Eligible applicants for the Reconnecting Communities competitive grant pilot program include: • States • Local and Tribal governments • Metropolitan planning organizations • Nonprofit organizations • Other transportation facility owners Preference will be given to applications from economically disadvantaged communities, especially those with projects that are focused on equity and environmental justice, have strong community engagement and stewardship, and a commitment to shared prosperity and equitable development. Of the $195 million available from the grant program this year, $50 million is dedicated to planning activities for communities that may be earlier in the process. The Reconnecting Communities Notice of Funding Opportunity announced today can be found here. Information on Reconnecting Communities technical assistance and other resources can be found here. Applications are due October 13, 2022. Awards are expected to be announced in early 2023. The new DOT Navigator can be accessed here and information on the Thriving Communities program can be found here. The Department will convene a series of stakeholder webinars to help potential applicants learn about the RCP grant program and what they need to know to prepare an application. The first one will be held Thursday, July 14 at 12 pm EST. 0 Suggested Media Tactics to Drive Awareness in Your Community: 1. Hold a media availability to highlight a dangerous intersection or high -traffic corridor that has experienced numerous crashes. Gather community leaders advocating for better crosswalks and lighting, including in minority neighborhoods or rural Tribal areas that experience a disproportionately high number of traffic and pedestrian deaths ■ Example: Hold a media availability in front of a major infrastructure barrier that currently requires support to help reconnect your community (ie: highway, bridge, rail station, major road, etc). ■ Example: Hold a media availability in a community divided by an infrastructure barrier like highway or rail line that needs improved transportation access to other communities, jobs, schools, health care, grocery stores, and more. ■ Example: Host a walking tour of a community that has been cut off from other parts of your city. ■ Example: Hold a "race" between someone on foot, someone on bike, someone on transit and someone with a rideshare and someone with a car to illustrate the time or cost disparities of getting between one community to a job center or a health center and the need to reconnect this community. 2. Gather federal, state and local officials, safety advocates, and parents and/or seniors for a roundtable conversation or media event the urgent need to make the streets safer for people in your community to walk, bike, and play. ■ Example: Convene local community and business leaders, anchor institutions, business owners and community residents to discuss how transportation funding can better con- nect businesses to customers, prospective employees, and make it easier for residents to get to work. ■ Example: Host a panel discussion on the benefits of communities that have better ac- cess to jobs and services, and how connection helps residents to be healthier and make communities more prosperous. 5 Suggested Social Media Tactics to Drive Awareness in Your Community: Facebook/Instagram/Linkedin Post 1: The Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program is a step towards ensuring transportation projects connect people to better jobs, educational opportunities, and services no matter where you live.

The need to recover aquatic habitat connectivity helps the movement of migratory fish species and other aquatic organisms and improves the overall quality of the watershed. Another benefit of widened stream crossings is the increased capacity to carry debris flow and diminish the risk of structure failure or road overtopping during high -stream events. Stream continuity or the uninterrupted connection of a river network, is not always a primary consideration when designing road -stream crossings.

In response to those funding increases, with about $2 billion coming into Commerce, we are shifting the Community Services and Housing Division (CSHD) into two divisions. We will now have the Housing Division (HD) and the Community Services Division (CSD). This new structure will allow us to respond with an even more laser focus on each division's activities. HD Assistant Director Corina Grigoras will lead our housing and homelessness - related programs. We anticipate recruiting an assistant director for the CSD soon. The Community Services Division will include the: • Community and Economic Opportunities Unit • Office of Crime Victims Advocacy • Office of Firearm Safety and Violence Prevention • Statewide Reentry Council • Developmental Disabilities Council and the Policy • Special Initiatives Unit The Housing Division will include the: • Homelessness Assistance Unit • Multifamily Housing Unit • Homeownership Unit • Office of Homeless Youth Unit • Apple Health & Homes / Permanent Supportive Housing Unit • Data & Performance Unit Change is always challenging, but it is necessary to respond to the homelessness and affordable housing crisis we see in the state. Please note that we will be recruiting for new and vacant positions across both divisions, and you can find those through our Commerce Jobs webpage.

Over the last 13 years I have repeatedly contacted you, your predecessor, DCD, the Fire Marshal and Prosecuting Attorney regarding the Trail Nine issue. To date, your response has consistently been to either ignore the problem, or claim it's not your job. Please provide copies of all documentation that supports your statement that "this was settled years ac." I believe that to be a false statement.

This is unusual, as we usually mow once in the spring and once in the fall, however since it has been so wet this year, hard to get a good mow. Diana Interesting --- at 7:00 am this morning PLA was finally mowing the cart path --- to little to late! See the attached plan supyorted by qua/iced experts When is the County formally going to address this issue? Thirteen years and waiting. (09/11/18). At the recommendation of the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Hass, a tour of the abandoned course was conducted on September 11, 2018 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm. Accompanying Mike at his suggestion was Kelvin J. Thomas a retired Forrest Service wildfire expert [Kelvin is married to Mindy Walker, a Jefferson County Judgel In addition, Doug Henderson and Steve Hammond accompanied Mike and Kelvin on the tour. After the tour Mike, Kelvin, Doug, and Steve met with Bert at his home on Edgewood Drive to debrief him. Generally the takeaway message from Kelvin was that the "recommendations of Chief Martin were woefully inadequate" and "the mowing plan proposed by Bert was very reasonable". (10/10/18). *Morris C. Johnson, "Good morning, Bert. I just received your information on the abandoned golf course. I still believe the information I emailed you earlier is your best defense to question the treatment recommendation outlined by the fire managers. In their explanation, then offer no evidence on how he decided on the size requirements other than stating, "there was consensus" for the 8 ft mow strip. So as I understand this is based on their expert opinion and not science. The art]22 would disagree with this recommendation. Let's chat when you have time. Note: *Morris C.

Fourth of July holiday ferry travel If your Independence Day weekend travel plans include a ride on our ferries, prepare for long waits if boarding in a vehicle. All riders should regularly check our online sailing schedules, as some timetables are dependent on crewing levels. Schedules are likely to change most frequently on the Edmonds/Kingston route, where a second boat is added daily if crews are available. Customers are encouraged to sign up for rider alerts to receive an update each night and morning on what schedule is operating on each run. The busiest sailings will be westbound (or onto an island) Thursday, June 30 and Friday, July 1, then eastbound (or off island) Monday and Tuesday, July 4-5. Before heading to a terminal or boarding, people driving on board should check terminal conditions. Anacortes/San Juan Islands and Port Town send/CoupeviIle routes also offer vehicle reservations. People using state highways to get to the ferry terminal should plan for potential holiday travel backups and delays by checking real-time traffic information on the WSDOT traffic app for mobile devices or online using the updated WSDOT travel map feature. Work begins on replacing overhead walkway at Bainbridge terminal Construction is underway to replace the wooden overhead walkway at our Bainbridge terminal. The new steel walkway will be seismically sound, as well as straighter and wider than the current one. The project will also refresh old mechanical and electrical components that power the existing moveable transfer span that connects the walkway to a ferry. Crews recently moved trailers to the site. After the July Fourth holiday, they'll remove the barrier between the holding and exit lanes to create a work zone. This will reduce some holding lane capacity. Our staff will be on hand to direct traffic. The project is scheduled to be complete in early 2024. The new steel -fortified walkway will be anchored by concrete and steel columns. It is also designed to withstand a major earthquake. Crab pots and ferries don't mix Ferries and crabbing are synonymous with the Pacific Northwest, but that doesn't mean they should tangle with each other. With most areas of Puget Sound opening for recreational crab fishing tomorrow, July 1, we want to remind crab fishers to avoid our ferry lanes. The Northwest Straits Initiative has more strategies for a successful crabbing experience. Crab pot line entanglements have led to costly repairs for us and hundreds of canceled sailings for our customers.

In other news, DCD has informed the fireworks vendor in Port Ludlow that they should not have issued the permit and that it is not an allowed use. The vendor is aware they can't sell in Port Ludlow any more.

This is unusual, as we usuallv mow once in the spring and once in the fall, however since it has been so wet this year, hard to get a good mow. Diana Interesting --- at 7:00 am this morning PLA was finally mowing the cart path --- to little to late! See the attached plan suvyorted by Qua/ired experts When is the County formally going to address this issue? Thirteen years and waiting. (09/11/18). At the recommendation of the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Hass, a tour of the abandoned course was conducted on September 11, 2018 from 1:00 pm — 3:00 pm. Accompanying Mike at his suaaestion was Kelvin J. Thomas a retired Forrest Service wildfire expert [Kelvin is married to Mindy Walker, a Jefferson County Judgel In addition, Doug Henderson and Steve Hammond accompanied Mike and Kelvin on the tour. After the tour Mike, Kelvin, Doug, and Steve met with Bert at his home on Edgewood Drive to debrief him. Generally the takeaway message from Kelvin was that the "recommendations of Chief Martin were woefully inadequate" and "the mowing plan proposed by Bert was very reasonable". (10/10/18). *Morris C. Johnson, "Good morning, Bert. I just received your information on the abandoned Golf course. I still believe the information I emailed you earlier is your best defense to question the treatment recommendation outlined by the fire managers. In their explanation, they offer no evidence on how he decided on the size requirements other than stating, "there was consensus" for the 8 ft mow strip. So as I understand this is based on their expert opinion and not science. The urt]22 would disagree with this recommendation. Let's chat when you have time. Note: *Morris C. Johnson is a research fire ecologist at the US Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station, located in Seattle, Washington. He earned a B.S. degree in Urban Forestry from Southern University and a M.S. degree in Silvicultural and Forest Protection and Ph.D. decree in Ecosystem Analysis (Fire Ecology) both from the University of Washington (Seattle, Washington).

Dear Commissioners: We are pleased to notify you regarding the beginning of our audit of Jefferson Transit Authority for Fiscal Year 2021. The State Auditor's Office is committed to maintaining positive relationships and open communication with the governments we audit. As a member of the governing body, we believe you should be fully informed about our audit work. Therefore, we are inviting you to attend an entrance conference we have scheduled with your staff at 2:00 PM on July 6th, 2022 via Microsoft Teams video conference. At the conference, we will discuss the audit and ask if you or Authority staff have any areas of concern that you would like us to include in the scope of our audit. We will also discuss the timing and cost of the audit. After we finish our audit work, we plan to contact you again to invite you to attend an exit conference, in which we will share the results of the audit. This is an opportunity for you to hear directly from us about what we found and to ask any questions you may have about the audit process or results. Please note that if a quorum of Board members attends either of these conferences, the Authority will be responsible for ensuring requirements of the Open Public Meetings Act are met. We take very seriously our responsibility of serving citizens by promoting accountability, fiscal integrity and openness in state and local government. We believe it is critical to citizens and the mission of the Authority that we work together as partners in accountability to prevent or constructively resolve issues. We look forward to meeting with management and the governing body at the entrance conference and hope to see you there. If you have any questions or matters that you would like to discuss with us, feel free to contact me.

It is a requirement from the Auditor's Office. The Audit Entrance Conference was waived by the Board. However, we will hold the Conference at the next Finance Committee meeting so those Board representatives will be in attendance. Attached is the engagement letter. Mayor Faber, will you please sign? Scwal (Sj) Pecks Executive Assistant/Clerk of the Board Jefferson Transit Authority 63 4 Corners Road, Port Townsend, WA 98368 speck(a)ieffersontransit.com 1 360-385-3020 x 108 Office of the Washington State Auditor Pat McCarthy June 30, 2022 Board of Commissioners and Nicole Gauthier, Interim General Manager Jefferson County Public Transportation Benefit Area Dba Jefferson Transit Authority 63 4 Corners Road Port Townsend, WA 98368-9366 We are pleased to confirm the audits to be performed by the Office of the Washington State Auditor, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 43.09 RCW, for the Jefferson Transit Authority. This letter confirms the nature and limitations of the audits, as well as responsibilities of the parties and other engagement terms. Office of the Washington State Auditor Responsibilities Financial Statement Audit We will perform an audit of the basic financial statements of the Jefferson Transit Authority as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Our audit will be conducted with the objective of our expressing an opinion on these financial statements. The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgments made by a reasonable user on the basis of the financial statements. We will conduct our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Insurance Building, P.O. Box 40021 • Olympia, Washington 98504-0021 • (564) 999-0950 • Pat. McCarthy@sao.wa.gov The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but will not be designed to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. However, we will communicate to you in writing any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal control relevant to the audit of the financial statements that we have identified during the audit. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Authority's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. • Conduct our audit on the basis that management acknowledge and understand the matters documented in the client's responsibilities section of this document. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of internal control, an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements may not be detected exists, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with auditing standards. Our responsibility is to express in a written report an opinion on the financial statements based on the results of our audit. Circumstances may arise in which our report may differ from its expected form and content based on the results of our audit. Depending on the nature of these circumstances, it may be necessary for us to modify our opinion, add an emphasis -of -matter paragraph or other - matter paragraph to our auditor's report. We will also issue a written report (that does not include an opinion) on issues identified during the audit related to the Authority's internal control over financial reporting and on compliance with the provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements as required by Government Auditing Standards. The Authority also prepares other information to accompany the financial statements, which is required by accounting standards or is done at its discretion. We will perform limited procedures on this information for the purpose of identifying inconsistencies with the financial statements. However, we will not express an opinion on its fair presentation. Federal Single Audit We will also perform a federal single audit on compliance with, and report on internal control over compliance for, each major program for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Authority's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of internal control, an unavoidable risk exists that some material noncompliance may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with these standards and the Uniform Guidance. In planning and performing the compliance audit, we will consider the Authority's internal control over compliance in order to determine the appropriate auditing procedures necessary for opining on compliance with each major program, and for testing and reporting on internal control over compliance in accordance with Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion. Although our audit is not designed to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance, we are required to report any identified significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in controls. We will express an opinion as to whether the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. We estimate the federal single audit will cover one federal grant program, which will be identified at the audit entrance conference. If additional grant programs are audited to satisfy the requirements of the Uniform Guidance, the audit budget discussed below will increase by approximately $7,000 per additional major program. Upon completion of our audit we will issue a written report containing our opinion on the Authority's compliance for each major program and a written report on internal control over compliance. We cannot provide assurance that an unmodified opinion will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary for us to modify our opinion, issue a disclaimer of opinion, or add an emphasis - of -matter or other -matter paragraph(s) to the report. Data Security Our Office is committed to appropriately safeguarding the information we obtain during the course of the audit. We have entered into a data sharing agreement with the Authority to ensure compliance with legal requirements and Executive Directives (Executive Order 16-01, RCW 42.56 and OCIO Standard 141.10) in the handling of information considered confidential. Reporting levels for audit issues Issues identified through the auditing process will be communicated as follows. Failure to appropriately address audit issues may result in escalated reporting levels. • Findings formally address issues in an audit report. Findings report significant results of the audit, such as significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal controls; misappropriation; and material abuse or non-compliance with laws, regulations, contracts or grant agreements. You will be given the opportunity to respond to a finding, and this response, or a synopsis of it, will be published in the audit report. Professional auditing standards define the issues we must report as findings with regard to non-compliance with a financial statement effect and internal controls over financial reporting. The Uniform Guidance defines the issues we must report as findings with regard to non-compliance and internal controls over compliance with federal grants. Management letters communicate control deficiencies, non-compliance, misappropriation, abuse, or errors with a less -than -material effect on audit objectives. Management letters are referenced, but not included, in the audit report. Exit items address control deficiencies, non-compliance, abuse, or errors that have an insignificant effect on audit objectives. These issues are informally communicated to management and are not referenced in the audit report. Client's Responsibilities Management is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of information provided to the auditor and will provide the Office of the Washington State Auditor with: • Unrestricted access to people with whom the auditor wishes to speak. • All information that is requested or relevant to auditor requests. • Notification when any documents, records, files, or data contain information that is covered by confidentiality or privacy laws. • Adequate workspace and conditions, including interacting with auditors professionally and respectfully and promptly communicating about any issues and concerns. Moreover, our audit does not relieve management or the governing body of their responsibilities. Management's responsibilities, with oversight from the governing body, include: • Selecting and applying appropriate administrative and accounting policies. • Establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting, compliance, and safeguarding of public resources. • Designing and following effective controls to prevent and detect fraud, theft, and loss. • Promptly reporting to us knowledge of any fraud, allegations of fraud or suspected fraud involving management, employees or others, in accordance with RCW 43.09.185. • Ensuring compliance with laws, regulations and provisions of contracts and grant agreements. • Preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). • Preparing the following supplementary information and providing us with certain written representations concerning the supplementary information: o Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (including notes and noncash assistance received) that includes all expenditures from federal agencies and pass -through agencies in the form of grants, contracts, loans, loan guarantees, property, cooperative agreements, interest subsidies, insurance, food commodities, direct appropriations, and other assistance in accordance with Uniform Guidance 2 CFR § 200.510 requirements • Including the auditor's report on the supplementary information in any document that both contains the supplementary information and indicates that the auditor reported on the supplementary information. • Either presenting the supplementary information with the audited financial statements or, if the supplementary information will not be presented, making the audited financial statements readily available to users of the supplementary information no later than the date the supplementary information and auditor's report thereon are issued. • Identifying all federal awards received and government programs. • Understanding and complying with the provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, including applicable program compliance requirements. • Internal control over compliance, including establishing and maintaining effective controls that provide reasonable assurance that the Authority administers government programs in compliance with the compliance requirements. • Evaluating and monitoring the Authority's compliance with the compliance requirements. • Informing us of the Authority's relationships with significant vendors who are responsible for program compliance • Submitting the reporting package and data collection form through the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Responsibilities at the conclusion of the audit At the conclusion of our audit, the Authority will provide us with a letter to confirm in writing certain express and implied representations made during the course of the audit. This letter includes representations regarding legal matters. A separate letter may be needed from the Authority's legal counsel. Management and the governing body are also responsible for following up and taking corrective action on all audit findings, including, when applicable, preparing a summary schedule of prior audit findings and a corrective action plan on the Authority's own letterhead. Estimated Audit Costs and Timeline We estimate the cost of the audit work to be $23,000, plus travel costs, and other expenses, if any. Invoices for these services will be prepared and presented each month as our audit work progresses. We anticipate our reports, which will be published on our website www.sao.wa.gov to be available to you and the public as outlined below. These estimates are based on timely access to financial information and no significant audit reporting issues. The estimated cost and completion date may change if unforeseen issues arise or if significant audit issues are identified necessitating additional audit work. We will promptly notify you if this is the case.

Expected Communications During the course of the audit, we will communicate with the Authority's selected audit liaison, Miranda Nash, Interim Finance Manager, on the audit status, any significant changes in our planned audit scope or schedule and preliminary results or recommendations as they are developed. The audit liaison is responsible for regularly updating management and the governing body on these matters. We may also provide direct communication of these matters to management and the governing body as needed or at the Authority's request.

In it, she asks lots of questions like: • Where is your passion visible to the world? • What makes you feel belonging? • What are you willing to amplify? There is so much power in the ability to ask questions and sit (in the sun) knowing that we don't necessarily need to have answers, only more curiosity and more desire for conversation around what connects us all through time.

As a WWRP-funded site that is a favorite spot for Quincy and Whitni's family, Dash Point felt like the perfect place to chat about the importance of access to the outdoors. Over coffee and doughnuts, we learned about how the couple formed Campfire, which brings together their love of coffee, community, and the outdoors.

County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, Please see the KPTZ listener questions listed below for Tuesday, July 5, 2022 BOCC Update. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Allison Berry: 1. Will you be reporting on community COVID levels as determined by analysis at the sewage treatment plant? 2. Am I correct that the numbers posted on Monday June 27 were actually the numbers from Friday the 24th? Everything matches except the % Tests Positive All Time. If that's the case, will the numbers on Tuesday July 5th actually be the numbers from Friday July 1? That makes them pretty stale and not much use for spotting trends. Would it be possible to at least post the new case count each day, even if it's somewhere like the County Facebook page? It looks like the case numbers for under 12 are no longer included, will those be coming back? 3. My partner and I are in our late 70s. We have been vaccinated and boosted. We wear masks in public and only get together with a few close friends without masks. The middle of August we are planning to get on an airplane for the first time since the pandemic and visit grandchildren. We have been waiting to get our second booster so that it will be most effective during the time we travel. When do you recommend getting it for maximum effectiveness?

Since the 2021 heat wave, the county has already taken steps to protect residents from deadly heat, including adding bus shelters, planting trees and protecting existing greenspaces. The extreme heat mitigation strategy will be part of the county's strategic climate action plan and its regional hazard mitigation plan. Moving forward, the county plans on evaluating urban planning policies and codes to improve heat resilience, and expand access to energy -efficient retrofits and design features like green roofs that can lower building temperatures, Whitely Binder said. Learn More Grant County Concerned Over Holiday • After Large Wildfire in Soap Lake All evacuation notices in Grant County have been lifted after a wildfire burned through the Soap Lake area. Meanwhile, a crew responding to the wildfire was involved in a rollover crash, injuring two firefighters. This fire threatened dozens of homes, as flames got dangerously close. The gusty winds made things even more challenging and unpredictable for fire crews. In total, four wildfires burned through Grant County on Tuesday. The Hiawatha County fire near Soap Lake threatened the most homes, prompting level 3 evacuations.The Grant County Sheriff's Office says they are concerned with Fourth of July weekend coming up, as fireworks could lead to another serious brush fire.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Commissioners, We will still be trying to save Penny Wise, despite your recent consideration. Here is a copy of our petition that is being forwarded to the WA Board of Natural Resources Jessica Randall, MS, LAc Jefferson County Resident Dear Board Members: I am submitting the attached petition to you on behalf of the more than 200 residents of Jefferson County who signed it, requesting that you deny approval of DNR's proposed "Penny Wise" timber sale. Thank you, Stephen Kropp Executive Director Center for Responsible Forestry (253) 272-8844 (home/office) (206) 920-0991 (cell) Petition to STOP the Penny Wise Timber Sale To Chair Franz and the Board of Natural Resources: The undersigned residents of Jefferson County urge you to cancel DNR's "Penny Wise" timber sale, located just a few miles west of the town of Quilcene. Almost all of the natural forests that once dominated the north end Hood Canal have been logged. The Puget Sound lowlands are now covered mostly by urban and residential developments, agricultural fields, and industrial forestlands. It is important to protect the few remaining, natural "legacy" forests that are left. These forests are an important part of our natural heritage, and function as ecological "lifeboats" for a wide variety of plant and wildlife species, and hundreds of lesser -known species of insects, lichens, bryophytes, mushrooms, and other fungi. Natural legacy forests like those found in the "Penny Wise" timber sale are different from other managed (or planted) forests in a number of ways. The most obvious difference is that the trees are much larger than in managed forests. Many of the dominant trees in this timber sale measure more than 4 feet in diameter and are over 180 feet tall. Because these forests were often selectively logged or "high -graded" in the early 1900's, and allowed to grow back on their own, they are also much more structurally and biologically diverse. Walk through these forests, and you will find they 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 array of small trees, shrubs and wildflowers. Standing dead trees and logs provide critical nesting habitat for small mammals, and countless other forms of life. These forests provide learning opportunities for students and scientists to better understand how they function, are popular recreational destinations for hunters, hikers, bikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts. There is also strong evidence that older forests and the large trees contained within the "Penny Wise" timber sale store and absorb a disproportionate amount of carbon from the atmosphere, thus slowing the rate of climate change. There is no defense for logging this forest. DNR forest inventory records reveal that there are thousands of acres of plantation forests managed by DNR on the east side of Jefferson County alone that are currently available for harvest. Plantation forests hold more than enough timber to satisfy overall sustainable harvest targets for the current planning decade, and fulfill DNR's current commitments to Jefferson County and other income recipients. There is no need to clearcut this forest. To be clear, the recommendation by Commissioner of Public Lands and the Department of Natural Resources to clear-cut this stand is a choice that is made by the Commissioner and DNR. These timber sales do little to create or sustain jobs in Washington, as the larger timber is typically sold to out-of-state logging contractors. DNR is not fulfilling a mandate or following best available science by logging these natural legacy forests. We are not asking DNR to end logging on state forest lands. We simply asking that you protect the last best remaining lowland legacy forests, which occupy less than ten percent of all state forest lands managed by DNR in East Jefferson County. Please put a stop to the destruction of these irreplaceable forests and cancel the "Penny Wise" sale. We must find other sources of income for recipient beneficiaries to replace long-term timber revenue. In the face of a global climate crisis, we must do better.

Thank you for your dedicated effort to chart a path forward for Jefferson County's public natural resources. Your work has been inspiring as you seek out scientific, economic, and technical information to guide policy for our older forests. We have collectively been working on two timber sales to devise a model for how to manage our older forests — Beaver Valley Sorts and Penneywise, the first two of this summer. The BOCC decision of Monday, June 27th, unfortunately potentially puts at risk 61 %, or 721 acres of our older forests. This immediate term problem can be addressed. In April and May, the BOCC requested that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) defer the sale of Beaver Valley Sorts, and to defer Pennywise for up to a year, until Jefferson County can do the careful research, inventory, landscape analysis, economic impacts analysis, needed to set policy and take DNR up on their offer of co -managing our public forests. On Monday, June 27th, the BOCC adopted a motion that signals to the DNR its willingness to let go the first two sales. However, there are more sales planned for this summer and next summer. am writing to recall to your attention information, concerns, and requests for your consideration. Thank you for your willingness to continue to listen and take all views into account. 721 Acres 61 % of Older Forest in Eastern Jefferson County Sold / Clear Cut Summer 2022 and 2023 According to our analysis of the data available to us, and the May BOCC workshop where the sales planning data was presented, DNR manages 31,403 acres in Eastern Jefferson County across all trusts. DNR manages 14,490 acres of state transfers lands, "state board lands", in Eastern Jefferson County. Not all acres are "operable" acres that can be harvested. The income beneficiaries of the state board lands trust category are Jefferson County, and other beneficiaries, as reported by Treasurer Stacie Prada and Commissioner Eisenhour. DNR schedules timber sales to meet sustainable harvest calculation targets and allocate staff time and effort. Their timber "year" is on the fiscal year basis, starting July 1 and ending June 30. Today we began the 2023 fiscal timber year. Each timber harvest season (spring, summer, fall — depending on weather and fire / flooding risk) laps over two timber fiscal planning years. According to DNR staff, it takes from 8 — 18 months to prepare a timber sale. As DNR works on each sale, the number of acres in any given sale will change depending on several factors including the conditions on the ground, required riparian buffers, unstable slopes, HCP requirements for endangered species, roads and other operational conditions, among other matters. DNR reported in its planning documents that it will harvest 2,600 acres in Eastern Jefferson County during their FY22-27 planning period. This information was presented in the BOCC workshop in May. Of these, 1,181 acres are older forests / legacy forests, using the methodology developed by the Center for Responsible Forestry (trees over 120 feet tall, 73 years or older, 5-acre patch size, field reviewed for complex multi tree species, multi layers in the forest trees sand shrub, standing and downed woody debris, rare plants, and high ecological value). PO Box 461 • Quilcene, WA 98376-0461 www.olympicforest.org • info@olympicforest.org DNR pulled forward into the sales rotation for this five-year planning season a significant portion of our older forests. Nearly half of all DNR planned sales are older forests, "legacy" forests, rather than the other "plantation" stands available for harvest. They plan to clear cut 44% of the remaining legacy forests in Eastern Jefferson County in this planning cycle. Unfortunately, most of these acres will be up for sale and clear cutting this summer (2022) and next summer (2023). 721 acres of the 1,181 acres. 61 %, will be sold and clear cut the summers of 2022 and 2023 The following legacy forests in Jefferson County will be sold and clear cut, according to DNR's schedule and presented in the BOCC workshop in May, with graphic call out added: Request Change in Treatment and Stands for Older Forests in 2022 and 2023 This is a significant enough development, that OFCO asks the BOCC to please consider requesting that DNR change its treatments for the 721 acres (61 %) of older forests in 2022 and 2023 from clear cuts to ecological thinning, sharing the benefits and burden of managing our forests for revenue, carbon, and ecological importance. OFCO asks that the BOCC request that stands such as unit 7 in Pennywise be removed from the sale, and other stands added to make up the difference as needed, taking the time needed to change the sale. The stand was analyzed by DNR in preparing the sale and they likely have the analysis they need to make necessary change with potentially minimal additional work. OFCO asks that the BOCC please consider requesting DNR to evaluate all other stands listed for sale and harvest in the current planning period which contain legacy forests, for the practicality of changing the sales to retain as much legacy forest as possible, while still generating volume and revenue. Since April 2022, DNR has been on notice that Jefferson County wants to change its forestry plan. Cutting 61 % of the forests of higher ecological value among other benefits is not a good step forward toward co -managing for important ecological outcomes. The fact that DNR has not emphasized to the BOCC the scale and scope of their sales rotation plans for this summer is concerning. Change Timber Sales Rotation Plans for Fiscal Years 2024 — 27 Replace Older Forests with Plantation Stands OFCO asks the BOCC to please consider requesting that DNR share their analysis and rationale for front loading the older forests in the sales rotation in Jefferson County. Our elected officials and all stakeholders need to understand the reasoning behind their sales plan. DNR has been on notice since 2019 that legacy forests are controversial and, in fact, are in court under appeal. Any sunk costs potentially lost by DNR are the direct result of their choice to ignore this important issue and legal risk. PO Box 461 • Quilcene, WA 98376-0461 www.olympicforest.org • info@olympicforest.org OFCO asks the BOCC to please consider requesting that DNR immediately change their sales rotation plans and stop working on, planning for, and bringing forward older forests / legacy forests for sale in Jefferson County while the County and DNR develop the co -management plan. DNR should evaluate and develop sales of plantation stands first that will generate more volume, revenue and are operationally easier to treat. The BOCC can ask DNR to evaluate these plantation stands in the future for the potential of changing to an 80-year rotation schedule. Economic Impact Analysis for Jefferson County Forests The BOCC, and Treasurer Stacie Prada, have provided much needed, helpful financial information on the financial impacts of deferring the Beaver Valley Sorts and Pennywise sales. The economic impacts of the transition to longer rotations and conserving older forests can and must be addressed in our forestry planning process. One important element of the potential economic impact analysis is a cash flow analysis. At what point does the revenue derived from DNR managed timber sales become available in Jefferson County for the income beneficiaries? Is it at the time of sale to a private contractor, and DNR immediately releases the funds they receive? Is it at the time of harvest? Is it at the time of completion of the contract? Is it at the time the contractor sells the lumber harvested? Or some phased payment plan related to the dates of completion in the contract? A contractor may purchase a timber sale and hold it for some time before harvesting the stand. In that instance, does DNR from its operating budget advance the revenues to the income beneficiaries? OFCO requests the BOCC to please consider requesting Treasurer Prada to prepare a cash flow analysis for the older forest timber sales in Jefferson County. With this information, options for replacing revenues may come within reach to save these older forests. Buy Back / Reconveyance Clause in Timber Sale Contracts for Legacy Forests Our challenge as a county continues to be balancing the interests of income beneficiaries and the essential services, they provide all of us, and the ecological importance of our forests. The immediate and longer -term challenge of replacing much needed revenue is also a question of time. In the immediate term and depending on the cash flow analysis, we collectively must replace these needed revenues. The BOCC has signaled that it will begin a process of bringing together stakeholders to provide input into the planning process. As we engage with the potential opportunities and tools we may have in future, it is important to build into the timber sales in Jefferson County contracting flexibility. It is possible we may be successful in replacing revenues before the stand is sold or harvested. In that instance, contract flexibility to "buy back" the legacy stands out of timber sale, either before it is sold or after, would be important. OFCO asks the BOCC to please consider negotiating with DNR a contract clause for Jefferson County timber sales that allows for this possibility. 80 Year Rotation Schedule for Plantation Stands and Conserve Older Forests (Legacy Forests) OFCO asks that the BOCC please consider in its planning for the future of Jefferson County forests an 80-year rotation schedule for plantation stands. These stands are working forests and not older, legacy forests. Even when reaching 80 years, these working forests would continue as working forests, not conserved once they reach 80 years in age. In contrast, naturally regenerated, structurally complex, ecologically significant older forests / legacy forests should be conserved and removed from the sales rotation. Request DNR to Report on Impacts of Climate Disruption on Forestry in Jefferson County OFCO requests that the BOCC consider asking DNR to report directly to all counties, in particular Jefferson County, about the information they currently use to model the impact of climate disruption to forests in Jefferson County (seedling mortality and morbidity, disease, drought, flooding, water retention in cut stands over time and other factors). It is not reasonable to think that the forests will respond the same way in the next 50-100 years, as they have in the past 100 years. Because our forests grew and regenerated in a particular manner in the past, does not guarantee they will continue to do so. Gambling on the future being the same as the past is risking more than our public assets. Stakeholders have a right to the analysis that DNR holds and uses to make the claim that it can actually "grow back older forests," or to the knowledge that they are NOT making science -based decisions about our forests. Hopefully, DNR can provide the monitoring data, scientific analysis, and literature, to assure the public that their claims of regenerating our forests in this century have merit. Jefferson County foresters can then integrate this needed information into the planning for our forests. Report on Carbon Emissions from DNR Forest Treatments Scientists have demonstrated the importance of not just any forests, but OUR Pacific Northwest coastal forests, as a carbon sink and sequestered carbon for the country and the world. Our forests are the most efficient at storing and sequestering carbon — in our older forests. Conversely, cutting older forests releases that much more carbon into the atmosphere. OFCO requests the BOCC to ask DNR to report on all the carbon emissions (tree, shrub and soil, and operations) for timber treatments on every timber sale coming forward in Jefferson County. Reporting on carbon PO Box 461 • Quilcene, WA 98376-0461 3 www.olympicforest.org • info@olympicforest.org emissions in advance is an important decision point for all stakeholders and may support DNR's carbon project by identifying additionality of carbon savings. Report on Public Health, Infrastructure, Related Costs of Climate Disruption The impacts to infrastructure, public health, and all sectors in the economy from the tragic extreme weather events in Jefferson County should be tracked, reported, understood, and be a part of the decision -making process on how we manage our forests. The "cost" of doing business as usual in our forests in part at least, includes these impacts. OFCO asks the BOCC to please consider how Jefferson County departments may report on the economic, public health (deaths and hospitalizations), housing, and infrastructure impacts of extreme weather events in our county. The Biden administration won a recent Supreme Court case that will allow the Administration to develop a reasonable "social cost of carbon" calculation for carbon emissions. This social cost of carbon can be developed, and understood, and integrated into the decision -making process for Jefferson County as it develops its forestry policies. OFCO requests that the BOCC to please consider integrating these direct costs, and the social cost of carbon into its planning and decisions. Participate in the Federal Older Forest Inventory Project By Executive order on Earth Day 2022, in Seattle, President Biden signed an Executive Order calling for an inventory of older forests on federal lands. Jefferson County has national wilderness, park and forests in its boundaries. OFCO requests that the BOCC include in its future forest planning directly an inventory of older forests in its DNR managed lands, including the common schools federal grant lands, and encourage federal agencies to share the status of their inventory of older forest in Jefferson County. We appreciate every effort that is being made to develop a 21 It Century Forest policy for Jefferson County, one that will meet the interests of income beneficiaries and conservation. Our organization is ready to assist in this important endeavor. Thank you for your kind attention to our concerns.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear John, 1 One hundred and seventy years ago, abolitionist Frederick Douglass gave a famous speech "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?"' He praised the resolve of the founding fathers in their fight for freedom and independence from the oppressive regime of Great Britain. But after detailing the experiences of enslaved Black people at that time, he names "the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed... your celebration is a sham... your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery." I echo Douglass's sentiments today, remembering our country's dark history of white supremacy, from the displacement and genocide of indigenous populations; to slavery and Jim Crow; to the ongoing voter suppression, racial terrorism, and economic injustices that subjugate many people of color today. And yet I share Douglass's expression of hope as he ended his speech: "I do not despair of this country." I still hope for our country to live up to the better ideals of freedom, equality, and justice for all. I want to work together to eliminate inequities and improve quality of life for everyone — no matter one's background, race, gender, or zip code. As one of the world's oldest continuous democracies — now 246 years old — I am afraid we are seeing our legacy fall apart. We have seen how fragile our voting rights and democratic institutions are, and how easily they can be lost. As we've seen in the news recently, there is an ongoing campaign, perpetrated by anti- democratic extremists, to suppress votes and overturn the will of the people. However, in this moment, we are not backing down. We are in a critical time where we must defend our democracy and the right of every eligible voter to cast a ballot without harassment or challenge. We must make good on the fundamental value that "all... are created equal." Looking to November, our allies in the movement to defend democracy are leading an Election Protection program. For years, thousands of trained, nonpartisan volunteers have served as voters' first line of defense against confusing voting rules, outdated infrastructure, rampant misinformation, and anti- democratic obstacles to the ballot box. In this moment, the challenge to protect our communities against the climate crisis and accomplish so many other urgent, progressive objectives falls on our shoulders. Will you consider being an Election Protection volunteer to Protect the Vote? There are several roles to play — in person or from your home. Sign up here to raise your hand and we'll send more information soon. Protecting voting rights is an historic fight — one that so many Americans like you have pursued for decades to help protect our most fundamental right. Protecting the right to vote strengthens our collective fight for clean air, clean water, equality, and a life -supporting climate. We can't address the climate crisis without also fighting racism and the systems that perpetuate it. That's because racism is killing the planet we all share, sacrificing people and communities in the name of corporate profit margins. This Independence Day, I'm reflecting on how tenuous such democratic values are, and how the rights we've cherished and fought for are being taken away. Our country's highest values of equality and freedom are constantly being undermined by systemic inequalities, white supremacy, and economic injustices. We stand on the shoulders of so many who came before us, like Frederick Douglass, to call out the hypocrisy and help bring about a better, freer country for everyone. It is only through strengthening our democracy and lowering the barriers to vote no matter your zip code, age, or race, that we can begin to actualize the highest aspirations of the United States of America. Election Protection Volunteers can help defend such founding aspirations. Sign up to Protect the Vote in November. Thank you for all you are doing to defend democracy and our environment. It takes each of us doing our part. Enjoy the holiday weekend, Leslie Fields National Director, Policy Advocacy and Legal Sierra Club P.S. If you have questions on this program, check out these Frequently Asked Questions to read more. Then when you're ready, volunteer for the nonpartisan Election Protection Program to help stop voter suppression in November and protect the right to vote for all.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Greg, I'm glad to see that you are finally enforcing code compliance within the Port Ludlow MPR. Therefore, I assume you will now focus on the 83 acre fire hazard PLA has created by abandoning the Train Nine golf course. As you know, for the past 13 years, I have repeatedly raised this issue with you, your predecessor, DCD, and the Fire Marshal without the County ever addressing those violations. Perhaps you might want to review these County code sections: 15.05.010, 15.05.020 Jefferson County Washington Code:15.05.010 Purpose. To enhance the health, safety, and welfare of the public by ensuring that --- land will be maintained, --- in a manner so as to reduce hazards, [Ord. 3-98 § 2] [15.05.020] Administration and enforcement of code. (2). The fire marshal's duties and authority shall include: (a) The fire marshal shall conduct fire plan review; (e) The fire marshal shall enforce regulations and conduct activities related to fire prevention --- and cooperation with, fire districts, within unincorporated Jefferson County; (f) The fire marshal shall conduct all necessary enforcement action and proceedings pursuant to JCC Title 19 to enforce the International Fire Code as adopted by this chapter. In such actions and proceedings, reference in JCC Title 19 to "director" shall be a reference to the fire marshal or their designee, and reference to "department" shall be a reference to the department of community development; Comments from wildfire experts regarding the abandoned Trail Nine course: (09/11/18). At the recommendation of the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Hass, a tour of the abandoned course was conducted on September 11, 2018 from 1:00 pm — 3:00 pm. Accompanying Mike at his suggestion was Kelvin J. Thomas a retired Forrest Service wildfire expert [Kelvin is married to Mindy Walker, a Jefferson County Judge] In addition, Doug Henderson and Steve Hammond accompanied Mike and Kelvin on the tour. After the tour Mike, Kelvin, Doug, and Steve met with Bert at his home on Edgewood Drive to debrief him. Generally the takeaway message from Kelvin was that the "recommendations of Chief Martin were woefully inadequate " and "the mowing plan proposed by Bert is very reasonable". (10/10/18). *Morris C. Johnson, "Good morning, Bert. I just received your information on the abandoned golf course. I still believe the information I emailed you earlier is your best defense to question the treatment recommendation outlined by the fire managers. In their explanation, they offer no evidence on how he decided on the size requirements other than stating, "there was consensus" for the 8 ft mow strip. So as I understand this is based on their expert opinion and not science. The grt]22 would disagree with this recommendation. Let's chat when you have time. Note: *Morris C. Johnson is a research fire ecologist at the US Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. He earned a M.S. degree in Silvicultural and Forest Protection and Ph.D. degree in Ecosystem Analysis. He is also a professor at the University of Washington, School of Forest Sciences.

Upon review, the permit had not gone through the Planner associated with the Port Ludlow MPR and the permit was revoked since a pop-up fireworks stand is not an allowed use in the MPR. The vendor refused to stop selling, and was issued a Stop Work Order, which was ignored. With a contentious situation brewing, DCD (with my support) has decided not to involve the Sheriff's office to escalate the situation, but is levying daily fines as our Title 19 allows. The vendor will likely continue to sell until the 41h as allowed by the state.

Commerce has awarded $6.2 million to three projects at risk of losing affordability as part of its ongoing mission. • $2.5 million for Trinity Development Alliance's Woodsvilla Apartments in Elma, Grays Harbor County, with 43 low-income units $2.5 million for Okanogan Housing Authority's Omak Gardens in Omak, Okanogan County, with 30 low-income units • $1.2 million for Mercy Housing Northwest's Evergreen Ridge in Bellingham, Whatcom County, with 143 low-income units These projects provide critical housing to some of Washington's most vulnerable populations. Preservation of existing affordable housing is a vital part of the Multifamily Housing Unit's vision to make conditions in our state for affordable housing residents the best in the nation. Our goal is to address the affordable housing crisis and reduce homelessness permanently and sustainably. 2 Through the Multifamily Housing Unit, Commerce received $10 million in the 2021- 2023 Capital Budget for the preservation of affordable multifamily housing projects at risk of losing affordability. Three percent of the funds were for administration costs. In addition, Commerce awarded two projects $3.5 million of the available funding in the 2021 funding round and provided a 2022 funding round solicitation for the remaining funds. The 2022 funding round announcement was made on April 14, 2022, and opened applications on a first -come, first -served basis on May 12. Commerce received five eligible applications, requesting $13.2 million. We prioritized applications under five criteria: location and scarcity, urgency, readiness to proceed, number of units to be preserved, and projects having secured federal rental assistance. The total development cost for the awarded projects is approximately $47.8 million. These projects will preserve 216 affordable housing units, 32.4% of which (70 units) will retain federal rental assistance through USDA as a direct result of these funds.

" by their very definitional nature, claims to know this "collective good" are always false. there can be no such thing in any objective sense and even if such were to exist, it could not be known by any human. if i take from you and give to her, how may we know if the world is now an objectively better place? if i silence you to assuage the anxiety of him, does his relief exceed your loss of agency? who could even scope such impacts fully much less tally them comparably even as first order effects, much less as second and third? on the evidence of self -evidence and upon the future of the great american experiment the roots of the great american experiment lie in the elevation of the individual above the collective, of rights above democracy, and in the essential and inalienable prerogative of we the people to establish by virtue of our own consent such government as we deem best suited to safeguard our freedom and our pursuit of happiness above the remit of tyrants and kings. perhaps most important in this grand enterprise is the foundation in basic notions of justice of the duty to replace any government as becomes inimical to such goals with one better suited to their provision. this function is both reserved for and dependent upon the people. it represents both dispensation and obligation, inseverable. the progenitors of this new form of human organization held those truths to be self evident. and so do i. i do not believe in blind patriotism nor in "my country (or my party) right or wrong." i believe in changing that which has become unsuited to the provision of human agency and human thriving. and that takes courage. and this is why courage is and ever must be the foundation of a free society. so let me speak of how i believe we have lost our way and of how we might find it again, for at heart, the matter is simple: we have systematically put our faith in the wrong sort of institutions and the wrong sort of people. faith in rule by technocratic experts to promote the greater good is the death of liberty and of human flourishing. by their very definitional nature, claims to know this "collective good" are always false. there can be no such thing in any objective sense and even if such were to exist, it could not be known by any human. if i take from you and give to her, how may we know if the world is now an objectively better place? if i silence you to assuage the anxiety of him, does his relief exceed your loss of agency? who could even scope such impacts fully much less tally them comparably even as first order effects, much less as second and third? no one. it's all a lie. and the purpose of this lie is to occlude a greater truth: that the phrase "greater good" always and everywhere belies the intent to sacrifice the few to the many and that is not liberty, that is predation by whomsoever might manage to elevate themselves to the lofty perch of "arbiter of the collective weal." and as such arbitration is always dishonest, only the liar and the zealot aspire to determine and enact it. the honest and the principled are galled and will have none. thus the nature of collectivism is intrinsically to elevate the worst and suppress the best. it's rule by the deluded and the demagogue. and the two together find calamitous confluence: an ever growing state with ever greater encroachment whose intellectual and moral underpinnings become ever more divorced from truth or justice and whose stewards must become increasingly deranged to even countenance, much less to thrive under it. and that way disaster lies. we're seeing it all around us. the center is not holding. and faith is being lost and that is a good thing. for that is how the american dream begins to heal. the time for tolerance of slick utopian promises and populist payday promises has ended. the time to run such charlatans out of town on a rail has returned. let us instead elect those of integrity and whose ends are to protect and to elevate we the individuals above they the state. to this end, we must preserve our own rights to be ungovernable and stand paramount to the governance that serves us (instead of we it.) this takes more strength, more agency, and greater self-sufficiency to stand. none incapable of violence may be truly called peaceful. they are merely subdued. none incapable of saying "no" can ever truly say "yes." they are merely coerced. "no" is the foundation of freedom and retaining the ability to say so is up to us. you will keep the rights you are willing to fight for. no more. no less. this is stern philosophy, but as becomes more plain by the day, reality is not optional.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. We are pleased to announce we were one of a few grants approved in Washington State. The grant will allow us, with community support, to gather information and build kiosks for the Quilcene Art, History and Culture Trail . We will try to attend the Tuesday July 5 BoCC meeting virtually to announce in (virtual ) person. 1 July 3, 2022 Count Me In for Quilcene PO Box 141 Quilcene, WA Jefferson County Commissioners Heidi Eisenhour Kate Dean Greg Brotherton Commissioners, We are delighted to announce that American Association of Retired Persons has awarded a $29,000 Community Challenge grant to Count Me In for Quilcene to start construction of the Quilcene Art, History and Culture Trail. (To refresh your memory of our contact last March, see the enclosed summary of CMIQ's grant proposal.) We understand the AARP judges were extremely impressed with our proposal and amazed by the letters of support included with our application. We thank you again for your endorsement. Now we begin the important process of • gathering ideas from the community on the historical information to be featured in each kiosk, • building the kiosks and benches, and • figuring out the best route from one rest stop to the next. We're looking forward to collaborating with you and other partners to work out the details and make this trail a reality for Quilcene. We hope you will be able to participate in these upcoming discussions and workshops: • A brief presentation and project Q&A Thursday July 7 at the Quilcene Community Center, following the Community Connections meeting that begins at 6:30. • A workshop at 6:30 Monday July 11 at the Quilcene Community Center where CMIQ will actively solicit ideas and community participation in the design and construction activities over the 5-month project timeline. We'll be counting on a representative of Quilcene Historical Museum attending one or both of these meetings and talking with us about how you'd like to be involved. Feel free to give me a call if you have questions. With gratitude for your support, Linda Herzog CMIQ President 206.794.9449 SHORT DESCRIPTION of the Quilcene Art, History and Culture Trail project as proposed to the AARP's Community Challenge grant program Count Me in for Quilcene is seeking HARP support to design and develop a 3.1-mile walking trail to run from the north end of the village to the south, connecting its marina and swim beach, K-12 school, the businesses in its commercial core, a recently renovated historic mansion and 10-acre park, and two salmon - bearing rivers that flow into Quilcene Bay. The AARP grant will enable construction of the most public elements of this exciting new trail: nine waystations, built with volunteer labor and HARP -funded materials, featuring benches and kiosks with information and artwork depicting local natural and cultural history. The kiosks will be located at key landmarks along the trail, to highlight nearby aquaculture businesses —the village is home to one of the largest oyster hatcheries in the world —the indigenous Twana people, an historic railroad right-of- way, salmon biology, and the region's legendary forests. We are especially excited about the trail's accessibility and opportunities for extensive use by older adults. The grade is virtually flat and enables comfortable and safe access to businesses, services and recreational sites. The project has already been endorsed by 18 local organizations and businesses and is inspiring plans for QR-code driven "passports," fun runs, and other creative and inclusive uses.

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 4 Putnam, then delivered to Kent once per month thanks to OlyCap and Northwest Harvest food bank trucks. At the Kent facility, a densifer 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.

Harvest The Quimper Community Harvest has been part of Local 20/2o's Local Food efforts for a number of years, and has done amazing work at gleaning excess fruit from local trees since 2008. The fruit is given to schools, food banks, non -profits, and senior centers, an incredible model of local resiliency and sustainability! It's been a great partnership. Local 20/2o also helped start many community gardens that are now dedicated to providing fresh vegetables for the food bank. After incubating under Local 20/20, these gardens then formed their own nonprofit "Food bank Growers." Since the Community Harvest efforts fit so well with the mission and work of Food Bank Growers, and has some great synergies and efficiencies regarding grant opportunities, etc., their board and Local 20/20 Steering Council recently signed an agreement with Food Bank Growers to transfer the Quimper Community Harvest group and associated funds to the Food Bank Growers nonprofit. Local 20/20 will continue to share information about Quimper Community Harvest on the Local 20/20 website, and of course, in our announcements. Any questions regarding this can be sent to cindy(&l202o.or9.

Patty Murray have released a draft report to examine �yiiii Rie +' ,V� �r�alf 1111[Gov. l� �„i�w,.x�'r�� , sag ` hether the benefits provided by the four Lower Snake River Dams (LSRD) can be 'y rovided by other means so that breaching of the dams could be part of a comprehensive salmon recovery strategy for the Pacific Northwest. The report notes that the dams have significantly altered the physical, chemical, hydrological, and biological processes in the Snake River, changing it from free flowing to a series of reservoirs. All Snake River salmon are listed as threatened or 10 endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The LSRD significantly limit the ability for salmon to spawn in the main river channel and create slack water conditions that favor other species, many of which prey on salmon. Breaching the LSRD would have the highest likelihood of removing salmon from ESA listing and maintaining treaty and trust obligations compared to other alternatives. The draft report and action information is available at https://www.Isrdoptions.org/ The Story of Glen Canyon 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 (2oo9), 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. Exploring Jefferson Transit's New Kingston Express Service from Port Townsend to Seattle Cindy Jayne recently tried out Jefferson Transit's New Kingston Express Service from Port Townsend to Seattle, and wrote about it in the latest Local 20/20 column in the Port Townsend Leader. In it, she shares how easy it was to use, and how it allowed her and her husband to have a fun day in Seattle without having to deal with parking hassles. It was easy to connect to the Sound Transit light rail and King County Metro buses to get up to the University of Washington, and back down to Pioneer Square for a snack before getting back on the Kingston Fast Ferry back to Kingston, where the Jefferson Transit Kingston Express was waiting. Plus it kept the carbon footprint of the trip low!

Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged From: April Thompson Sent: Tuesday, July 5, 2022 7:14:36 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada) To: Kate Dean Subject: But first, NORMALCY... ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hi Kate, Last month I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and saw so many pictures of this year's graduates. I haven't seen most of my family in years (thanks, pandemic) and was bummed when pics popped up of my parents and sister at my nephew's graduation in Iowa. It's such a pivotal time in a young persons' life to be celebrated, and I was missing out on it. Q But my nephew *did* have the rest of our family, friends and his teachers and coaches by his side as they have been for his entire childhood. *This* is something most kids in foster care do not have, however. So much preparation that most people don't even think about goes into getting kids across that finish line. But for kids experiencing foster care, those basic benchmarks are not guaranteed and definitely don't come naturally. z Before any great strides can be made, there needs to be a baseline of NORMALCY. Because when a child's entire being is fight/flight/freeze, academic success is not at the top of the priority list - or even possible, oftentimes. They are truly just surviving. 0-% W/ i d Yo u k n o Children in foster care experience PTSD at 2x the rate of combat veterans. When kids who experience foster care frequently change homes, caregivers, towns, schools and their familiar environments, it can be hard to feel stable. Hard to feel normal - let alone thrive. The goals of our Dare to Dream Program are to provide children with typical childhood experiences, helping to promote positive mental health, emotional well-being, and identity formation - and eventually, encouraging teens toward overall better academic performance, and increased college participation. To get there though, they start with basics - things like: building rapport, positive and healthy relationships, building confidence and self worth, and building healthy habits. 3 Enter, KC... Normalcy has become something Dare to Dream volunteer, KC Upshaw focuses on with the youth she is mentoring. The young teen's life has been in so much transition over the last year, that KC has become a trusted and consistent adult in her life. "I was raised with the understanding that education is very important, but I was shocked to feel so differently with her ... School is so far down on the priority list right now because everything else is chaos. Making sure she has a bed to sleep in is a priority. Making sure she knows where dinner is coming from is a priority. No one is getting her up for school in the morning or making sure she's doing her homework. 4 How is she supposed to thrive without consistency - without normalcy? School will be a priority later on, but during this time of transition, it's just not the priority." Instead, the pair do a lot of everyday things together. Her mentee asked if they could get together on Memorial Day, but KC already had plans to be at a barbecue with her 95 year -old grandmother - so her mentee came along. KC will invite her to workout with her, and pick meals to cook together. They window shop downtown and get boba tea - normal kid experiences for a kid her age. The teen recently asked to do a Harry Potter movie night (KC agreed, but insisted on introducing her to popcorn from The Rose as well). Normalcy. "She's been lost in the shuffle for most of her life..." but KC focuses on consistency, being present and *really listening* to her mentee. "I'm about her. She is the most important thing to me when I am with her. I am a firm believer in chosen family and friendship, and we are a big part of each other's lives." KC is extending her regular routine, life and heart to her mentee. With this foundation of stability and as the teen gets a little older, KC will focus on academics and they other milestones that will set the teen up for success and change her trajectory in life. MENTORS NEEDED! 5 We currently have three teens on our waitlist to be matched with Dare to Dream Mentors. Let us know if you or someone you know might be just the right person! 16 Year Old Female I Location: just outside Port Townsend She recently entered foster care after her caregiver suddenly passed away. She hasn't experienced much in life but is open to new adventures and interested in learning to garden and cook. She'd really wants to go to college or trade school after graduation. It would be great to have someone help her research and explore options. 15 Year Old Female I Location: Port Townsend She just moved to a foster home in PT. She has been diagnosed with high -functioning autism. It would be great to have someone with an understanding of autism (or willing to learn). This youth loves spending time with animals in any capacity and is interested in volunteer work or really anything animal related. Camping is a favorite pastime. She struggles to make friends with peers her own ages and would really love someone she can rely on and share life's ups and downs with. 13 Year Old Male I Location: Port Hadlock 6 We have a young teen in relative care in Port Hadlock looking for a mentor. This youth needs some tutoring help in geography and/or science. He really enjoys art and music, and loves to cook and get creative in the kitchen. He is adventurous and likes biking and skate boarding too. This youth is trans and has identified as male since he was two years old. He is looking for a young, queer-friendly/knowledgable male identifying person that he can relate to and learn from.

CLALLAM COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL Join Congressman Derek Kilmer: Economic Development topics we will discuss: Right now major competitive funding opportunities exist through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Unlike large urban local governments and wealthy rural locations, our rural local governments do not have in-house grant writers. How can the federal government create equitable opportunities, so that we can pursue this transformative, once -in -a -generation funding stream? Many urban and rural tourist communities' housing prices have skyrocketed in the past year as investors diversified their portfolios out of the stock market. Is the federal government doing anything to help with Clallam's housing crisis? • There is a lot of chatter about a possible changeover in leadership in Congress after the election. If that were to happen in the House, how do you think that will affect your ability to achieve your objectives? • If there is a changeover in leadership, do you think Community Project Funding will go away? • There continues to be a lot of discussion about certain parts of Build Back Better being taken up and passed by the end of the year.

Attached is a summary of key data and trends from the forecast. State tax collections are expected to grow by 11.6% between 2021 and 2022. The forecast calls for slower tax revenue growth of 0.5% from 2022-2023. Notably, the Council does not predict a recession but points out that inflation, interest rates, gas prices and the Russia - Ukraine crisis could tip the economy downward. If this trend continues, the Legislature will enter the 2023 session in a solid fiscal position, particularly with the federal relief funds that remain available to the State.

Scww (Sy) Peck Executive Assistant/Clerk of the Board Jefferson Transit Authority 63 4 Corners Road, Port Townsend, WA 98368 speck(ilieffersontransit.com 1 360-385-3020 x 108 Entrance Conference: Jefferson County Public Transportation Benefit Area The Office of the Washington State Auditor's vision is increased trust in government. Our mission is to provide citizens with independent and transparent examinations of how state and local governments use public funds, and develop strategies that make government more efficient and effective. The purpose of this meeting is to share our planned audit scope so that we are focused on the areas of highest risk. We value and appreciate your input. Audit Scope Based on our planning, we will perform the following audits: Financial statement audit for January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 We will provide an opinion on whether your financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the applicable reporting framework. The audit does not attempt to confirm the accuracy of every amount, but does search for errors large enough to affect the conclusions and decisions of a financial statement user. Federal grant compliance audit for January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 This audit is required by federal law when a local government spends $750,000 or more annually in federal financial assistance. We will provide an opinion on compliance with federal requirements that could have a direct and material effect on your major federal programs. We plan to test the following federal program: • Formula Grants for Rural Areas and Tribal Transit Programs, CFDA #20.509 This report must be submitted, along with the Data Collection Form, to the federal clearinghouse within 30 days after receipt of the report or nine months after the end of the audit period, whichever is earlier. Engagement Letter We have provided an engagement letter that confirms both management and auditor responsibilities, and other engagement terms and limitations. Additionally the letter identifies the cost of the audit, estimated timeline for completion and expected communications. Levels of Reporting Findings Findings formally address issues in an audit report. Findings report significant results of the audit, such as significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal controls; misappropriation; and material abuse or non-compliance with laws, regulations or policies. You will be given the opportunity to respond to a finding and this response will be published in the audit report. Management Letters Management letters communicate control deficiencies, non-compliance, misappropriation, or abuse that are less significant than a finding, but still important enough to be formally communicated to the governing body. Management letters are referenced, but not included, in the audit report. Exit Items Exit items address control deficiencies, non-compliance with laws or regulations, or errors that have an insignificant effect on the audit objectives. These issues are informally communicated to management. Important Information Confidential Information Our Office is committed to protecting your confidential or sensitive information. Please notify us when you give us any documents, records, files, or data containing information that is covered by confidentiality or privacy laws. Audit Costs The cost of the audit is estimated to be approximately $23,000 plus travel costs, if any. Expected Communications During the course of the audit, we will communicate with Miranda Nash, Interim Finance Manager, on the audit status, any significant changes in our planned audit scope or schedule and preliminary results or recommendations as they are developed. Please let us know if, during the audit, any events or concerns come to your attention of which we should be aware. We will expect Miranda to keep us informed of any such matters. Audit Dispute Process Please contact the Audit Manager or Assistant Director to discuss any unresolved disagreements or concerns you have during the performance of our audit. At the conclusion of the audit, we will summarize the results at the exit conference. We will also discuss any significant difficulties or disagreements encountered during the audit and their resolution. Loss Reporting Washington state law requires all state agencies and local governments to immediately notify SAO if staff know or suspect loss of public resources, or of other illegal activity including a cyber-attack if it resulted in a loss of public resources or potentially impacted financial records or systems. State and local government employees should alert us to suspected fraud through the online Report a Suspected Fraud or Loss form below. These notifications can be made on our website at www sap wa.izov/report-a-concem/how-to-report-a-concern/fraud- program/. Peer Reviews of the Washington State Auditor's Office To ensure that our audits satisfy Government Auditing Standards, our Office receives external peer reviews every three years by the National State Auditors Association (NSAA). The most recent peer review results are available online at www.sao.wa.gov/about-sao/who-audits-the-auditor/. Our Office received a "pass" rating, which is the highest level of assurance that an external review team can give on a system of audit quality control. Working Together to Improve Government Audit Survey When your report is released, you will receive an audit survey from us. We value your opinions on our audit services and hope you provide us feedback. Local Government Support Team This team provides support services to local governments through the Budget, Accounting, and Reporting System (BARS) and annual online filing technical assistance, provides accounting, reporting and BARS training. Our website and client portal offers many resources, including a client Help Desk that answers auditing and accounting questions, updated BARS manuals, access to resources and recorded trainings, and additional accounting and reporting resources. Additionally this team assists with the online filing of your financial statements. The Center for Government Innovation The Center for Government Innovation of the Office of the Washington State Auditor offers services designed to help you, help the residents you serve at no additional cost to your government. What does this mean? They provide expert advice in areas like building a Lean culture to help local governments find ways to be more efficient, effective and transparent.

Collinsgsao.wa.gov Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Tuesday, July 5, 2022 11:52 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Reports about Jet Noise from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Attachments: May June 2022 Noise Report profile.pdf From: Christine Kerlin Sent: Tuesday, July 5, 2022 11:47:52 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada) To: Christine Kerlin Subject: Reports about Jet Noise from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Greetings, Every two months or so, on behalf of Quiet Skies over San Juan County, I send a report to elected officials concerning the jet noise from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. I am attaching the most recent report for data collected in May and June, 2022, including a summary of reports in 2021. Thanks to our San Juan County leaders, we have a County -managed Jet Noise reporting website through which residents and visitors can record incidents of loud jet noise in San Juan County. Access to this noise reporting website includes our wider region, (Clallam, Jefferson, Skagit, Island, Snohomish and San Juan counties) and more folks have been reporting noise incidents. As you can see in the attached document, the total noise reports for 2021 exceed the total of 2020 by 50%. The first six months of noise reports for 2022 have exceeded the first six months of 2021 by 49%. On page 7 of the attached report, please note the number of reports submitted for late night jet noise and disruption. These should be hours of sleep for children and adults. Comments from those who use the website to report noise indicate continued frustration and anger, and for some, despair. At the end of the attached report you will find the May -June comments submitted with the noise reports. The human impact is particularly relevant in light of the serious and obvious deficiencies in the Navy's 2016 Draft Environmental Impact Statement regarding the addition of more Growler jets, and the Record of Decision activated by the Navy. Noise reports are coming from an increasingly broad area. The comments are the best indicator of the gravity of the situation caused by the Growler jets. I encourage you to read through them; they are the voices of your constituents. Are you representing us? What is your response? We are asking you to consider the human and environmental impact that the Navy refuses to acknowledge and mitigate due to the Growler Jets. Please respond that you received this e-mail and the PDF attachment. If you would like more information, please let me know. We believe that our elected officials need to respond to our concerns and look forward to your comments and questions. Thank you for your attention.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Commissioners, As you consider the "Greater Jolie Way" no -shooting zone petition, please refer to the attached screen shot. The area outlined in green is (roughly) the new no -shooting zone that you just put in place for Cape George. The area outlined in blue is (roughly) the proposed "Greater Jolie Way" no -shooting zone. The area outlined in ely low is what make more sense for a new no -shooting zone, which would include and expand upon the proposed "Greater Jolie Way" area. Here's why. • At the lower right is the 80-acre county land formerly known as the "horse park". • North of that is a 120-acre tract of DNR land (off the east end of Silver Berry PI.) • For the last 20+ years, I've heard a lot of shooting from the area west of Hastings along McMinn, Porter Lane, etc. The housing density there, as well as the properties to the south inside the ely low area, is actually greater than the density along Jolie Way or Arabian Lane. I recommend that the BoCC exercise its authority to extend the petitioned area to include the entirety of the area that I've outlined in yellow, merging it into the new Cape George area. The area I'm recommending (basically, a trapezoid with straight line boundaries) would be much simpler to identify, which would greatly simplify enforcement. The result would be a safer community in this part of the county.

Because the events are random and go on for varying amounts of time, I am constantly fearful of when they will start up again! I live VERY close and feel like I could me in serious danger at any time. There is no way to tell the direction of the bullets. I am so close and the sound is so loud, I can't tell. When it starts, we can't be outside for fear of being shot! Myself, my partner and my dog are all in danger. My neighbors as well.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hello. Below is my public comment on our proposed No Shooting Zone for Jolie Way and Silver Berry Place. Thank you. Michele Soderstrom 206.940.3248 Ph. Good Morning. I am in favor of Jolie Way and Silver Berry Place being designated a No Shooting Zone as means to keep us, in this residential neighborhood, safe. I have lived on Silver Berry Place for alost 3 years. In the last year I have heard gunshot increasing, and at times of day that includes weekend evenings anywhere from 6 to 1 1pm. We are literally 3 miles at most from the local shooting range which offers shooting range practice and in a safe setting. I ride my bike on Jolie Way and Silver Berry Place at various times and deserve to be safe when I do so. We have a neighbor who is a child and plays with their friends in the woods who also deserves to be safe when doing so. According to Washing State RCW's I have a right to peace and quiet where I live. When gunshot continues for 2 hours on a Sunday evening, I find this unreasonable and question my safety. I am a High School teacher. I am increasingly concerned for my safety at work with just two shootings yesterday during July 4" activities and 27 school shootings since May in the US. We execute active shooter drills in school as means to keep our children and staff informed of appropriate escape and survival techniques. This includes understanding how to blockade and tie doors shut from the inside. My door has a hydraulic elbow at the top and so I show my students how to place a loop around this with a nylon strap and to pull it tight and then tie it to something stationary or hold it. We then push tables up on end or push a file cabinet up against the door. Studies have shown that if an intruder can get their hand into the door opening with a gun, great damage can be done to humans inside. We then talk about escape routes through windows or a back door and if we would run to Aldrich's grocery store down the road or to another school or a park to meetup. As teacher I have a radio and a clip board which has all student names and parent and student phone numbers to take with me in case of an emergency. This is a huge responsibility. We talk about how to throw items at a potential intruder to distract them and possible disarm. We talk about how to place a trash can upside down over a gun on the floor and to sit on it until authorities arrive. This happens regularly in our schools. Not many other employees go through this and with other people's children to protect, on a regular basis. With that said, I deserve to feel safe at my home and during outside activities such as walking and biking in the neighborhood. With our neighborhood as a No Shooting Zone we will feel like our concerns over potentially unsafe gun activity will be heard and taken seriously. We have no way of knowing which way our neighbors are shooting or what they are shooting other than something that can fire off many rounds over a short amount of time. I deserve to feel safe from gun activity at my home and outdoor area which I consider my sanctuary. Thank you for taking this into consideration. Michele Soderstrom Good Morning.

Imagine you're sitting peacefully, enjoying your dinner, recounting your day with your partner when — out of the blue BOOM..... BOOM ...BOOM BOOM BOOM . Window rattling, bone shaking nerve damaging shockingly loud reports. At random. Sometimes minutes apart. Sometimes in rapid fire bursts. Unpredictable.

Starting Monday, July 11, travelers will encounter a lane closure and temporary traffic signal at milepost 162.6 near Kalaloch. The alternating one-way traffic will continue into early fall. The lane closure creates a work zone, giving contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation access to Steamboat Creek. Crews will use the work zone to remove the remainder of the old box culvert and improve the streambed. This project removes old culverts under US 101 at Steamboat, Harlow and Fisher Creeks that were barriers to fish. The culverts are being replaced with large concrete bridges. This work is part of WSDOT's rp oyram to remove barriers to fish under state highways.

The genre bending roots troupe owe their inception to bassist Rayson Gordon, who forged a musical link between friends and provided their secret headquarters: a cedar shed on his grandparents' V acre forestland on Green Mountain Road. In their new practice space, campfire tunes turned into intricate songwriting and friendships became a partnership. While their range of sonic interests and influences defy easy classification, it is difficult not to hear Levon Helm, Rick Danko and company, The Band, hollering from the grave. Indeed, imagery reflecting organic flesh and bone, mingling with gnarled old -growth roots music, is what this band is all about. Call `em whatever you like: they are harmonizers and collaborators and Cedar Teeth won't let the fire go out.
