  • General Election Pierce County November 7, 2017 Official Local Edition 1 - Tacoma and West Pierce County Voters’ Pamphlet
    General Election Pierce County November 7, 2017 Official Local Edition 1 - Tacoma and West Pierce County Voters’ Pamphlet Look for Your Ballot October 20 MessageMessage from from the the Auditor Auditor Dear Pierce County Voter - Leaves are turning. The Seahawks are playing. And voter registration events are in full swing. All signs that fall has arrived! There’s always a big push to register voters before the November Election. It’s no accident that National Voter Registration Day is September 26th, 2017. And now through October, the Pierce County Auditor’s Offi ce is mounting a “500,000 Voters” campaign. We’re determined to break the half-million mark for active registered voters. Washington State’s voter registration rate is quite healthy, regularly in the top quarter of the nation. During the 2016 General Election we ranked 10th in the nation for voter turnout, with a registration rate of 77.1%. Pierce County followed very closely with 76.8% voter registration. We shouldn’t rest on our laurels. Making voter registration easy is the fi rst necessary step to- ward voting and it deserves our attention. If we narrow our focus to the voting eligible population, you’ll fi nd that we’ve registered rough- ly 83% of the eligible population. That leaves just 17% eligible adults to register. The low hang- ing fruit has been harvested. We’re going to need a ladder to reach the rest! The legislature and election administrators are considering several different solutions: • Automatic Registration – individuals with an enhanced driver’s license, commercial license, etc.

    April 2021 KACS(FM) Channel 213C2 Chehalis, Washington Allocation Study The attached spacing study shows the co-channel and adjacent channel spacing between stations and demonstrates that the proposed operation meets the IF channel spacing requirements as prescribed in §73.207 of the Commission's Rules. The attached allocation study map exhibits demonstrate requisite contour protection for the following domestic stations close enough to warrant detailed study, with the exception of overlap received from KPLI, as discussed in a separate exhibit: Cochannel: KGIO 213A Astoria, OR First-Adjacent: KEXP-FM 212C3 Seattle, WA KLWO 212A Longview, WA KBOO 214C1 Portland, OR Second-Adjacent: KVTI 215C1 Tacoma, WA KPLI 211A Olympia, WA KUPS 211A Tacoma, WA Third-Adjacent: KGRG 210A Auburn, WA KGHP 210A Gig Harbor, WA All contours depicted have been calculated using terrain HAAT data from the 3-second terrain database. CBCV-FM Channel 213C Victoria, BC The proposed operation is short-spaced to Canadian station CBCV-FM on Channel 213C at Victoria, British Columbia. Under the terms of the Working Arrangement for the Allotment and Assignment of FM Broadcasting Channels Under the Agreement Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America Relating to the FM Broadcasting Service , as amended in 1997 (" Working Arrangement "), the required co-channel Class C to Class C3 spacing is 259 kilometers, whereas the distance between the proposed KACS site and the CBCV-FM transmitter site is 216 kilometers. The attached cochannel allocation study map Hatfield & Dawson Consulting Engineers demonstrates that the proposed KACS 34 dBu F(50,10) contour will not overlap any Canadian land areas, nor does it cross the Canadian border.
