ERS �1 /2i/�� Heidi Eisenhour, Chair DATE SEAL ATTEST: P 6C& �� "12 1112- L Carolyn GUllaway ATE Clerk of the Board Approved as to form only: j I ./ . "`-- - November 3, 2022 Philip C. I Iunsucker DATE, Chief Civil Deputy Prosecuting Attorney KPTZ, 91.9 FM By: Name: 1`-' L- t DATE � I I � JZ2- EXHIBIT A PROPOSAL TO FUND MORGAN HILL EMERGENCY TRANSMISSION SITE PROJECT SUMMARY KPTZ and KROH are regional area providers of broadcast information, with a special role in the event of a local emergency. KPTZ together with KROH now request that Jefferson County construct a small communications transmitter facility and tower at the Morgan Hill reservoir in Port Townsend to support the public information broadcast network in the event of a disaster. While every effort has been made to enhance the physical -plant resiliency and information collection systems of both broadcast outlets, a facility is needed to support information exchange and distribution communications between the Jefferson County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and authorized broadcasters at both stations, in any circumstance in which landline telephone and wireless cellular services are disrupted by a major disaster and/or subsequent lengthy power failure. While some modalities of two-way radio communication (VHF Low -band, Amateur and GMRS) do exist between these points, the proposed new transmitter facility and tower will provide a robust auxiliary microwave/radio relay site connecting JeffCo EOC, KPTZ, and KROH via a full- duplex voice system. The approximate cost of the project is estimated to be $106,000. We are requesting $65,000 in Jefferson County government support. A draft budget is attached. OVERVIEW For over a decade, FM stations KPTZ and KROH have partnered with Jefferson County government to be prepared to provide broadcast emergency information to area residents. The ability to continue that partnership at the highest level possible depends upon establishing the new facility at Morgan Hill in Port Townsend, a site optimal for local signal transmission due to its proximity and elevation. This project effort would replace the County's current and unused small container shelter and tower stub at the site with a 60-foot tower and transmission technology to be housed at that location. To be useful for this purpose, the Morgan Hill Reservoir site must be upgraded. As a consequence of the FCC's reassignment of the frequencies previously used for this network, the facility would reestablish the previous microwave network on new frequencies and also provide an auxiliary FM transmitter location for backup use, should either KPTZ's or KROH's main transmitter become damaged or unserviceable in an emergency. All equipment at the site would be provided and owned by the radio stations. A majority of the equipment needed for Morgan Hill currently supports KPTZ's operations. With the exception of the new tower, much of the technical infrastructure has been purchased or is on hand and can be repurposed for this project. PROJECT IMPORTANCE TO LOCAL EMERGENCY PREPARATION The City Council of Port Townsend, in recognition of its responsibility to participate in preparation for a major disaster, in April 2021, passed a resolution to allow construction at the Morgan Hill site and granted use to KPTZ for the provision of emergency information services. At a nominal $0.40 monthly use rate for the 1,000 square feet of land on Morgan Hill, the City's financial commitment equates to $54,000 over 10 years. For over a decade, both KPTZ and KROH have provided facilities, personnel, equipment and services to establish and enable this response network. That effort has enhanced the County's emergency preparedness and raised public awareness of the potential threats and resources available. A dedicated team of KPTZ volunteer staffers who have taken FEMA training qualifying them to embed in the EOC whenever it is activated for an emergency, remain on call every day and night throughout the year. The Morgan Hill relay site project represents the continuation of over 10 years' investment by both stations' directors, staff, and volunteer broadcasters working in tandem with the Jefferson County Department of Emergency Services. All of this effort has one purpose — protecting the health and safety of the people of Jefferson County. For the entire community and for all of its many stakeholders, this project is of the utmost importance and requires prompt action. JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONSENT AGENDA REQUEST TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Mark McCauley, County Administrator DATE: November 21, 2022 RE: ARPA Grant Agreement: KPTZ Radio Tower Project: Morgan Hill STATEMENT OF ISSUE: KPTZ approached Jefferson County in August, 2022 seeking funding place a radio tower and related auxiliary equipment on Morgan Hill. > ANALYSIS: The rationale for the funding coming from the county was that we are the emergency planners for the county and that having a radio tower on Morgan Hill would dramatically improve KPTZ's ability to share information with the community during a disaster/emergency. They had originally asked the county for $50,000 to cover the cost of the tower and related auxiliary equipment. They had also asked that the county assume project management responsibilities for the tower as well. Because the county declined the opportunity to manage the project due to limited bandwidth KPTZ has increased the ask to $65,000 to cover the cost of the tower, related auxiliary equipment and project management through a contractor. Staff agrees that the tower will provide enhanced information sharing before, during and after an emergency and supports funding the project. KPTZ staff briefed the Board on the project and the Board directed staff to prepare a grant agreement in support of the project, which is attached. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for the $65,000 will come from revenue sharing ARPA. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached grant agreement.

The limits of insurance that apply to additional insureds are described in Section D. — Limits Of Insurance. How this insurance applies when other insurance is available to an additional insured is described in the Other Insurance Condition in Section E. — Liability And Medical Expenses General Conditions. No person or organization is an insured with respect to the conduct of any current or past partnership, joint venture or limited liability company that is not shown as a Named Insured in the Declarations. D. LIABILITY AND MEDICAL EXPENSES LIMITS OF INSURANCE 1. The Most We Will Pay The Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations and the rules below fix the most we will pay regardless of the number of: a. Insureds; b. Claims made or "suits" brought; or c. Persons or organizations making claims or bringing "suits". 2. Aggregate Limits The most we will pay for: a. Damages because of "bodily injury" and "property damage" included in the "products -completed operations hazard" is the Products -Completed Operations Aggregate Limit shown in the Declarations. b. Damages because of all other "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal and advertising injury", including medical expenses, is the General Aggregate Limit shown in the Declarations. This General Aggregate Limit applies separately to each of your 'locations" owned by or rented to you. "Location" means premises involving the same or connecting lots, or premises whose connection is interrupted only by a street, roadway or right-of-way of a railroad. This General Aggregate limit does not apply to "property damage" to premises while rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner, arising out of fire, lightning or explosion. 3. Each Occurrence Limit Subject to 2.a. or 2.b above, whichever applies, the most we will pay for the sum of all damages because of all "bodily injury", "property damage" and medical expenses arising out of any one 'occurrence" is the Liability and Medical Expenses Limit shown in the Declarations. The most we will pay for all medical expenses because of "bodily injury" sustained by any one person is the Medical Expenses Limit shown in the Declarations. 4. Personal And Advertising Injury Limit Subject to 2.b. above, the most we will pay for the sum of all damages because of all "personal and advertising injury" sustained by any one person or organization is the Personal and Advertising Injury Limit shown in the Declarations. 5. Damage To Premises Rented To You Limit The Damage To Premises Rented To You Limit is the most we will pay under Business Liability Coverage for damages because of "property damage" to any one premises, while rented to you, or in the case of damage by fire, lightning or explosion, while rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner. In the case of damage by fire, lightning or explosion, the Damage to Premises Rented To You Limit applies to all damage proximately caused by the same event, whether such damage results from fire, lightning or explosion or any combination of these. 6. How Limits Apply To Additional Insureds The most we will pay on behalf of a person or organization who is an additional insured under this Coverage Part is the lesser of: a. The limits of insurance specified in a written contract, written agreement or permit issued by a state or political subdivision; or b. The Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations. Such amount shall be a part of and not in addition to the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations and described in this Section. Page 14 of 24 Form SS 00 08 04 05 BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM If more than one limit of insurance under this policy and any endorsements attached thereto applies to any claim or "suit", the most we will pay under this policy and the endorsements is the single highest limit of liability of all coverages applicable to such claim or "suit". However, this paragraph does not apply to the Medical Expenses limit set forth in Paragraph 3. above. The Limits of Insurance of this Coverage Part apply separately to each consecutive annual period and to any remaining period of less than 12 months, starting with the beginning of the policy period shown in the Declarations, unless the policy period is extended after issuance for an additional period of less than 12 months. In that case, the additional period will be deemed part of the last preceding period for purposes of determining the Limits of Insurance. E. LIABILITY AND MEDICAL EXPENSES GENERAL CONDITIONS 1. Bankruptcy Bankruptcy or insolvency of the insured or of the insured's estate will not relieve us of our obligations under this Coverage Part. 2. Duties In The Event Of Occurrence, Offense, Claim Or Suit a. Notice Of Occurrence Or Offense You or any additional insured must see to it that we are notified as soon as practicable of an "occurrence" or an offense which may result in a claim. To the extent possible, notice should include: (1) How, when and where the "occurrence" or offense took place; (2) The names and addresses of any injured persons and witnesses; and (3) The nature and location of any injury or damage arising out of the "occurrence" or offense. b. Notice Of Claim If a claim is made or "suit" is brought against any insured, you or any additional insured must: (1) Immediately record the specifics of the claim or "suit" and the date received; and (2) Notify us as soon as practicable. You or any additional insured must see to it that we receive a written notice of the claim or "suit" as soon as practicable. c. Assistance And Cooperation Of The Insured You and any other involved insured must: (1) Immediately send us copies of any demands, notices, summonses or legal papers received in connection with the claim or "suit"; (2) Authorize us to obtain records and other information; (3) Cooperate with us in the investigation, settlement of the claim or defense against the "suit"; and (4) Assist us, upon our request, in the enforcement of any right against any person or organization that may be liable to the insured because of injury or damage to which this insurance may also apply. d. Obligations At The Insured's Own Cost No insured will, except at that insured's own cost, voluntarily make a payment, assume any obligation, or incur any expense, other than for first aid, without our consent. e. Additional Insured's Other Insurance If we cover a claim or "suit" under this Coverage Part that may also be covered by other insurance available to an additional insured, such additional insured must submit such claim or "suit" to the other insurer for defense and indemnity. However, this provision does not apply to the extent that you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance. f. Knowledge Of An Occurrence, Offense, Claim Or Suit Paragraphs a. and b. apply to you or to any additional insured only when such "occurrence", offense, claim or "suit" is known to: (1) You or any additional insured that is an individual; (2) Any partner, if you or an additional insured is a partnership; (3) Any manager, if you or an additional insured is a limited liability company; (4) Any "executive officer" or insurance manager, if you or an additional insured is a corporation; (5) Any trustee, if you or an additional insured is a trust; or (6) Any elected or appointed official, if you or an additional insured is a political subdivision or public entity. Form SS 00 08 04 05 Page 15 of 24 BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM This Paragraph f. applies separately to you and any additional insured. 3. Financial Responsibility Laws a. When this policy is certified as proof of financial responsibility for the future under the provisions of any motor vehicle financial responsibility law, the insurance provided by the policy for "bodily injury" liability and "property damage" liability will comply with the provisions of the law to the extent of the coverage and limits of insurance required by that law. b. With respect to "mobile equipment" to which this insurance applies, we will provide any liability, uninsured motorists, underinsured motorists, no-fault or other coverage required by any motor vehicle law. We will provide the required limits for those coverages. 4. Legal Action Against Us No person or organization has a right under this Coverage Form: a. To join us as a party or otherwise bring us into a "suit" asking for damages from an insured; or b. To sue us on this Coverage Form unless all of its terms have been fully complied with. A person or organization may sue us to recover on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment against an insured; but we will not be liable for damages that are not payable under the terms of this insurance or that are in excess of the applicable limit of insurance. An agreed settlement means a settlement and release of liability signed by us, the insured and the claimant or the claimant's legal representative. 5. Separation Of Insureds Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and any rights or duties specifically assigned in this policy to the first Named Insured, this insurance applies: a. As if each Named Insured were the only Named Insured; and b. Separately to each insured against whom a claim is made or "suit" is brought. 6. Representations a. When You Accept This Policy By accepting this policy, you agree: (1) The statements in the Declarations are accurate and complete; (2) Those statements are based upon representations you made to us; and (3) We have issued this policy in reliance upon your representations. b. Unintentional Failure To Disclose Hazards If unintentionally you should fail to disclose all hazards relating to the conduct of your business at the inception date of this Coverage Part, we shall not deny any coverage under this Coverage Part because of such failure. 7. Other Insurance If other valid and collectible insurance is available for a loss we cover under this Coverage Part, our obligations are limited as follows: a. Primary Insurance This insurance is primary except when b. below applies. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below. b. Excess Insurance This insurance is excess over any of the other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis: (1) Your Work That is Fire, Extended Coverage, Builder's Risk, Installation Risk or similar coverage for "your work"; (2) Premises Rented To You That is fire, lightning or explosion insurance for premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; (3) Tenant Liability That is insurance purchased by you to cover your liability as a tenant for "property damage" to premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; (4) Aircraft, Auto Or Watercraft If the loss arises out of the maintenance or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to the extent not subject to Exclusion g. of Section A. — Coverages. (5) Property Damage To Borrowed Equipment Or Use Of Elevators If the loss arises out of "property damage" to borrowed equipment or the use of elevators to the extent not subject to Exclusion k. of Section A. — Coverages. Page 16 of 24 Form SS 00 08 04 05 BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM (6) When You Are Added As An Additional Insured To Other Insurance That is other insurance available to you covering liability for damages arising out of the premises or operations, or products and completed operations, for which you have been added as an additional insured by that insurance; or (7) When You Add Others As An Additional Insured To This Insurance That is other insurance available to an additional insured. However, the following provisions apply to other insurance available to any person or organization who is an additional insured under this Coverage Part: (a) Primary Insurance When Required By Contract This insurance is primary if you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance be primary. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below, (b) Primary And Non -Contributory To Other Insurance When Required By Contract If you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance, this insurance is primary and we will not seek contribution from that other insurance. Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured has been added as an additional insured. When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty under this Coverage Part to defend the insured against any "suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that "suit". If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers. When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of: (1) The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance; and (2) The total of all deductible and self - insured amounts under all that other insurance. We will share the remaining loss, if any, with any other insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations of this Coverage Part. c. Method Of Sharing If all the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first. If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer's share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers. 8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us a. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to us. The insured must do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request, the insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and help us enforce them. This condition does not apply to Medical Expenses Coverage. b. Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver Of Subrogation) If the insured has waived any rights of recovery against any person or organization for all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, we also waive that right, provided the insured waived their rights of recovery against such person or organization in a contract, agreement or permit that was executed prior to the injury or damage.
