FROM: Pinky Feria Mingo, Environmental Health and Water Quality Director

DATE: MAY .27 ZOZS
SUBJECT: Agenda item — Amendment to Jefferson County Conservation District
Professional Services Agreement; March 1, 2023 — November 30, 2026
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH), Water Quality Division, requests Board approval of the amended
agreement for Jefferson County Conservation District Professional Services; March 1, 2023 — November
30, 2026.
ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS/PROS and CONS:
The Jefferson County Conservation District (JCCD) was retained to perform water quality monitoring
activities, agricultural best management planning, and public outreach in the Chimacum and Port Hadlock
areas as part of the Chimacum-Hadlock Pollution Identification and Correction (PIC) Project in an agreement
dated June 12, 2023. JCCD has identified a need to adjust allocation of funds between tasks due to additional
staff hours needed to complete Task 5 — Chimacum Watershed Management & Restoration Plan, and lower
than anticipated hours needed in Tasks 1 through 3 (Grant and Loan Administration, Water Quality
Monitoring, and PIC). No changes were made to Task 4 Education and Outreach.
In addition, due to delays from the Washington Department of Ecology, JCPH obtained a one-year extension
of the project through December 31, 2026 (Holbrook email, 4/15/2024, attached). Therefore, the new
deadline for JCCD participation has been moved back a year to November 30, 2026, and deliverable deadlines
for Tasks 2.3, 2.4 and 4.1 have been adjusted to reflect that change.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
This amendment would decrease funds in Tasks 1 through 3, and increase funds in Task 5, for a net increase
of $4,009 in total project cost as shown in Exhibit B of the amendment. This increase in total project cost is
almost completely covered by contingency funds that the county had budgeted in the 2023 project
agreement between Ecology and JCPH, but exceeds the total cost in Task 5 by $275. This $275 overage is
well within the allowed 10 percent change to the Ecology grant for informal budget amendments, and the

wQ-23-033-A l
changes have been approved by Ecology (Moscoso and Holbrook emails, 1/2/2025, attached). JCPH will
reduce the Task 2 Water Quality Monitoring budget by $275 to keep the total project cost the same.
Therefore, the amendment will result in no impact to county funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
JCPH management requests approval of the amended agreement for Jefferson County Conservation District
Professional Services; March 1, 2023 — November 30, 2026.

to the public.
Task 5—Chimacum Watershed Management&Restoration Plan
5.1 The Contractor will prepare a draft Chimacum Watershed Management and Restoration Plan
(following steps in the Drainage Management Guide for Whatcom County Drainage
Improvement Districts as a template). The primary purpose of the plan is to identify actions that
can be taken(and will receive the blessing of permitting agencies)to address chronic drainage
and flooding issues that will improve and protect water quality and enhance salmonid habitat.
The plan will also identify roles and responsibilities of implementing organizations, including
possibly reactivating the Chimacum Drainage District as the lead organization. A drainage
district is the logical entity to serve as the lead for plan implementation. However, if through this
planning process it is determined that drainage district reactivation is not preferred, specific roles
and responsibilities will have to be assigned to (and accepted by)other organizations. All key
stakeholders will be engaged in the planning process. Chimacum watershed is a highly altered
system with channelized watercourses that function much like drainage ditches. There are also
many miles of drainage ditches. All this is a result of the Chimacum Drainage District that was
formed over a century ago and went inactive in the late 1970s. The idea is to either reactivate the
drainage district to serve as the umbrella organization for drainage system maintenance, water
quality protection/improvement, and habitat enhancement/restoration, or figure out a more
logical and effective way to do all these things. This planning effort will help determine the path
forward.
6
Proposed content includes:
a) Overview of watershed, including key historical events related to Chimacum Drainage
District,past and present land use,past and present environmental and economic issues
and concerns
b) Descriptions and maps of watercourses, including current conditions and impacts to
adjacent upland areas
c) Inventory and maps of past and present land use, drainage system ditches and other
infrastructure, beaver dams, etc.
d) Inventory and maps of ditches proposed for decommissioning
e) Description and map of water quality impairment reaches and improvement opportunities
f) Inventory and maps of significant ecological features, habitat enhancement/restoration
opportunities
g) Identification and description of routine drainage system maintenance activities
h) Identification and description of special drainage system maintenance projects
i) Identification of permitting requirements and descriptions of associated best management
practices
j) Monitoring, reporting and adaptive management
k) Technical guides for routine maintenance activities
Date: 20 months after subcontract approval
5.2 Seek stakeholder and permitting agency input on draft plan. Key landowners,partnering
organizations, and regulatory agencies (Ecology and Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife)will be involved in plan development.
Date: 20 months after subcontract approval
5.3 Revise and finalize plan. If the drainage district is the preferred lead entity for plan
implementation,that will require drainage district reactivation,which has its own legally
required procedures. If this ends up not being the preferred option,other mechanisms will be
required, such as MOAs among all the implementing organizations.
Date: 26 months after subcontract approval
Required Performance:
1. Submit draft plan for stakeholder and permitting agency approval. Upload a copy of the
final approved plan into EAGL at project conclusion.

WASHINGTON
Contracted Party Notice
Enduris Washington is a joint self-insurance program for public entities authorized by RCW 48.62.
Under RCW 48.62.061,the state risk manager shall adopt rules governing the management and
operation of both individual and joint local government self-insurance programs covering property or
liability risks. The rules are contained in the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 200-100 and
summarized as follows:
• Only members who sign the interlocal agreement binding them to contributions and
assessments may participate in a local government risk pool (WAC 200-100-020).
• Only members may participate in the self-insured retention layer, and only members may
participate in the joint purchase of insurance or reinsurance (WAC 200-100-02005).
• Nonmembers shall not participate in any coverages of the joint self-insurance program including
the self-insured retention layer and the excess insurance or reinsurance layer(WAC 200-100-
02007).
The state risk manager and the Washington Administrative Code prohibit Enduris of Washington from
granting additional insured status to nonmembers.
However, Enduris can cover the contractual liability undertaken by its members in most cases.
As long as the contract between an Enduris member and a third party qualifies as a "member contract"
and the claims against the indemnitee third party are otherwise covered by the terms of the
Memorandum of Coverage,the member district's indemnity obligation should also be covered.
Enduris Washington's memorandum of coverage (MOC)contains the definition of a "member contract"
as follows:

Task 5 —Chimacum Watershed Management & Restoration Plan
5.1 The Contractor will prepare a draft Chimacum Watershed Management and Restoration Plan
(following steps in the Drainage Management Guide for Whatcom County Drainage
Improvement Districts as a template). The primary purpose of the plan is to identify actions that
can be taken(and will receive the blessing of permitting agencies)to address chronic drainage
and flooding issues that will improve and protect water quality and enhance salmonid habitat.
The plan will also identify roles and responsibilities of implementing organizations, including
possibly reactivating the Chimacum Drainage District as the lead organization. A drainage
district is the logical entity to serve as the lead for plan implementation. However, if through this
planning process it is determined that drainage district reactivation is not preferred, specific roles
and responsibilities will have to be assigned to (and accepted by)other organizations. All key
stakeholders will be engaged in the planning process. Chimacum watershed is a highly altered
system with channelized watercourses that function much like drainage ditches. There are also
many miles of drainage ditches. All this is a result of the Chimacum Drainage District that was
formed over a century ago and went inactive in the late 1970s. The idea is to either reactivate the
drainage district to serve as the umbrella organization for drainage system maintenance, water
quality protection/improvement, and habitat enhancement/restoration, or figure out a more
logical and effective way to do all these things. This planning effort will help determine the path
forward.
Proposed content includes:
a) Overview of watershed, including key historical events related to Chimacum Drainage
District,past and present land use,past and present environmental and economic issues
and concerns
b) Descriptions and maps of watercourses, including current conditions and impacts to
adjacent upland areas
c) Inventory and maps of past and present land use, drainage system ditches and other
infrastructure, beaver dams,etc.
d) Inventory and maps of ditches proposed for decommissioning
e) Description and map of water quality impairment reaches and improvement opportunities
Professional Services Agreement,JCPH,Version 4,PAO Approved 4/16/2023 Page 15 of 17
f) Inventory and maps of significant ecological features,habitat enhancement/restoration
opportunities
g) Identification and description of routine drainage system maintenance activities
h) Identification and description of special drainage system maintenance projects
i) Identification of permitting requirements and descriptions of associated best management
practices
j) Monitoring, reporting and adaptive management
k) Technical guides for routine maintenance activities
Date: 20 months after subcontract approval
5.2 Seek stakeholder and permitting agency input on draft plan. Key landowners,partnering
organizations, and regulatory agencies (Ecology and Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife)will be involved in plan development.
Date: 20 months after subcontract approval
5.3 Revise and finalize plan. If the drainage district is the preferred lead entity for plan
implementation,that will require drainage district reactivation,which has its own legally
required procedures. If this ends up not being the preferred option, other mechanisms will be
required, such as MOAs among all the implementing organizations.
Date: 26 months after subcontract approval
Required Performance:
1. Submit draft plan for stakeholder and permitting agency approval.Upload a copy of the
final approved plan into EAGL at project conclusion.

AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners

FROM: Pinky Feria Mingo, Environmental Health and Water Quality Director
Michael Dawson, Water Quality Manager
DATE: 7 rimy 2 ? 2-OZS
SUBJECT: Agenda item — Amendment to Jefferson County Conservation District
Professional Services Agreement; March 1, 2023 — November 30, 2026
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH), Water Quality Division, requests Board approval of the amended
agreement for Jefferson County Conservation District Professional Services; March 1, 2023 — November
30, 2026.
ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS/PROS and CONS:
The Jefferson County Conservation District (JCCD) was retained to perform water quality monitoring
activities, agricultural best management planning, and public outreach in the Chimacum and Port Hadlock
areas as part of the Chimacum-Hadlock Pollution Identification and Correction (PIC) Project in an agreement
dated June 12, 2023. JCCD has identified a need to adjust allocation of funds between tasks due to additional
staff hours needed to complete Task 5 — Chimacum Watershed Management & Restoration Plan, and lower
than anticipated hours needed in Tasks 1 through 3 (Grant and Loan Administration, Water Quality
Monitoring, and PIC). No changes were made to Task 4 Education and Outreach.
In addition, due to delays from the Washington Department of Ecology, JCPH obtained a one-year extension
of the project through December 31, 2026 (Holbrook email, 4/15/2024, attached). Therefore, the new
deadline for JCCD participation has been moved back a year to November 30, 2026, and deliverable deadlines
for Tasks 2.3, 2.4 and 4.1 have been adjusted to reflect that change.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
This amendment would decrease funds in Tasks 1 through 3, and increase funds in Task 5, for a net increase
of$4,009 in total project cost as shown in Exhibit B of the amendment. This increase in total project cost is
almost completely covered by contingency funds that the county had budgeted in the 2023 project
agreement between Ecology and JCPH, but exceeds the total cost in Task 5 by $275. This $275 overage is
well within the allowed 10 percent change to the Ecology grant for informal budget amendments, and the

changes have been approved by Ecology (Moscoso and Holbrook emails, 1/2/2025, attached). JCPH will
reduce the Task 2 Water Quality Monitoring budget by $275 to keep the total project cost the same.
Therefore, the amendment will result in no impact to county funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
JCPH management requests approval of the amended agreement for Jefferson County Conservation District
Professional Services; March 1, 2023 — November 30, 2026.
