Sarah Spaeth said that JCCF Committee was very appreciated for the work that it does. The Chimacum Forest project is moving forward slowly. VII. Subcommittee Reports: Revision of Program Materials for 2019 The Subcommittee reported on their findings concerning the scoring and ranking criteria, project changes, long-term monitoring and the election of officers. The Committee discussed the Subcommittee’s suggestions, which included changing the criteria on farmland to reflect what is proposed for the future, and not only what is already being done; changing question 10 in the score sheet and application to include “water quality;” how to accurately score a critical piece of property that may not rank highly if it does not include every element of weight, such as silviculture, agriculture, riparian zone and wildlife habitat; and editing question 7 to remove the word “leverage.” Tami Pokorny made edits to the application and score sheet as the Committee decided on them. The Committee agreed to table several of the issues and change them next year if they cause problems. Lige Christian moved to accept the changes as edited today in the score sheet and application. David Wilkinson made a friendly amendment to only approve the application. Rob Harbour seconded. The motion passed unanimously. Lige Christian moved to accept the score sheet as amended to include “water quality” in question 10; JD Gallant seconded. The motion passed unanimously. Tami Pokorny included the reference to water quality in the application as well to keep the score sheet and application congruent. The Subcommittee discussed proposed changes to the bylaws, which would move the election of the new Committee Chair to a less contentious meeting; and schedule meetings more quickly by meeting State requirements instead of more complicated ones. Tami will run the suggested changes by the legal department before finalizing them in the bylaws. Rob Harbour moved to approve the changes to the bylaws as presented, subject to legal review; Richard Jahnke seconded. Discussion of the motion pointed out that bylaw changes must also be approved by the Board of County Commissioners. Upon review of the bylaws, it was revealed that any changes to them must also be approved by a two-thirds majority of the JCCF Committee. Lige Christian moved to table the motion until a two-thirds majority could be present; Rob Harbour seconded. The motion passed by consensus. The Committee discussed the annual report and progress report in the manual. Edits were made to the language in the paragraph on sponsors’ reports to the JCCF Committee. Richard Jahnke moved to approve the changes as edited in the program manual; Lige Christian seconded. The motion passed by consensus. Long-term Monitoring Rob Harbour and Tami Pokorny will have a meeting with Erik Kingfisher to discuss this. The Committee will go over the results of that meeting at the next full JCCF Meeting. VII. New Business Revision of Program Materials for 2019 This was handled under Sub-Committee Reports. Long-term Monitoring This was handled under Sub-Committee Reports.
