Declaration of Rights for the Southern Resident Orcas

Topic Summary

The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners passed a proclamation establishing a Declaration of Rights for the Southern Resident Orcas. The proclamation acknowledges the cultural, spiritual, and economic importance of the critically endangered orcas and asserts that they, along with their dependent ecosystems, possess inherent rights that governmental bodies should protect and restore. The action specifically urges action by local, state, federal, and tribal governments to secure the orcas' ecosystems.

Key Points

  • The Southern Resident Orca population is critically endangered, with only 73 individuals remaining.
  • The orcas are culturally, spiritually, and economically important to the people of Washington State and the world.
  • The orcas' survival depends on healthy ecosystems including the Salish Sea, Fraser River Watershed, Columbia River Basin, and lower Snake River Watershed.
  • The proclamation recognizes that Nature and all living beings, including the orcas, possess inherent rights: the right to exist, flourish, evolve, regenerate, recover, and be restored.
  • Specific rights declared for the orcas include: life, autonomy, culture, free and safe passage, adequate food supply from naturally occurring sources, and freedom from conditions causing physical, emotional, or mental harm (including a habitat degraded by noise, pollution, and contamination).
  • The Commissioners (Heidi Eisenhour and Kate Dean, possibly with Greg Brotherton) reviewed and edited the draft proclamation before approval.

Financials

  • None specified. The proclamation has "no direct fiscal cost."

Alternatives

  • None specified.

Community Input

  • Chair Brotherton called for public comment on the proclamation, and "No comments received."

Timeline

  • January 17, 2023: Proclamation approved and signed.

Next Steps

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding Allocation Criteria and Approvals

Topic Summary

The Board discussed priorities for allocating the remaining $835,000 in unallocated American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for projects serving the public good. The Commissioners previously approved two specific ARPA allocations, including $1.5 million for the Port Hadlock Sewer Project and $100,000 for broadband in South County, and then developed criteria for assessing subsequent requests from non-profit and public sector organizations. The previously approved ARPA funding guidelines were voided and replaced with a revised document to reflect discussion updates.

Key Points

  • The allocation of remaining ARPA funds hinges on newly developed priorities created by Commissioner Brotherton.
  • Previously approved special allocations included:
    • $1.5 million in ARPA funds, plus $1 million in capital funds, for the Port Hadlock Sewer Project.
    • $100,000 in ARPA funds for Mason PUD No. 1’s broadband efforts in the Brinnon area (South County).
  • The general ARPA funding requests sought by the County for the "Last Call for Proposals" range from $20,000 to $100,000.
  • Proposal priorities focus on projects that "move the needle" on housing, economic development, and public benefit, leveraging matching funds, and demonstrating geographic diversity.
  • The Board generally intends to focus on organizations that have not previously received ARPA or CARES awards from Jefferson County.
  • County Administrator Mark McCauley noted that the preliminary ARPA proposal language suggested a receipt of upcoming funding which is not guaranteed, prompting the need to review and revise the document.
  • The Board intends to review the final ARPA call for proposals document in the afternoon session, making the previous approval of the guidelines null and void.
  • A subsequent motion approved replacing the earlier ARPA guidelines with revised and updated guidelines presented on-screen.

Financials

  • Remaining Unallocated ARPA Funds advertised: $835,000.
  • Approved Port Hadlock Sewer Project Allocation: $1.5 million (ARPA) + $1.0 million (capital funds) = $2.5 million total project allocation.
  • Approved South County Broadband Allocation: $100,000 (ARPA funds to match Mason PUD No. 1 proposal).
  • Other ARPA Requests Reviewed (not yet funded/decided):
    • Jefferson County Library: $35,000 for a Digital Equity Navigator.
    • Port Townsend Marine Trades Association: $20,000 for Maritime Trades.
    • Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding: $100,000 for student housing assistance.

Alternatives

  • The County Administrator noted that the proposal verbiage needed adjustment regarding the guarantee of upcoming funding.
  • The Board made the prior ARPA guidelines null and void and approved revised and updated guidelines.

Community Input

  • A general public comment period received one comment on January 9, 2023, while the specific ARPA action item received no public comments on the 9th or January 17th.

Timeline

  • January 9, 2023: Workshop conducted on ARPA funds; $1.5M was allocated to the Port Hadlock Sewer Project; $100,000 was approved for Mason PUD No. 1 broadband.
  • January 17, 2023: Board motioned to approve new guidelines for distributing remaining ARPA funds.
  • January 25, 2023: Proposed date for publishing the ad for the ARPA request for proposals (due to missed Monday deadline for legal paper of record).
  • January 31, 2023: Proposal Deadline (Original date for proposal receipt to County Administrator’s office).
  • February 10, 2023: Proposed revised deadline mentioned by Commissioners for ARPA proposals.

Next Steps

Topic Summary

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (JCPRAB) presented its 2022 Annual Report to the Board of County Commissioners in a workshop format. The report highlighted significant achievements including the completion of the Parks and Recreation Open Spaces and Trails (PROS) Plan update, changes to JCPRAB's own structure to improve attendance, successful capital projects, and initial steps in recommending county land dedication for open space.

Key Points

  • JCPRAB is required by its By-Laws to provide a yearly update to the BOCC.
  • 2022 Achievements/Actions:
    • Completed a prioritized list for the two-year Capital Investment Program in Q1 2022, identifying Memorial Stadium and HJ Carroll projects as highest priority.
    • Updated JCPRAB By-Laws to reflect Resolution 18-89, changing meeting times from the first Wednesday of every other month (11:00am-1:00pm) to the first Thursday of every other month (3:00pm-4:30pm). This change resulted in 100% board attendance at the October and December meetings.
