VI - 1 INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The Capital Facilities Chapter contains the capital facilities element, one of the six elements
required for Mason County's Comprehensive Plan under the Growth Management Act (GMA)
(36.70A.070 RCW). This element provides an inventory of existing conditions and publicly
owned facilities by quantifying capital facilities currently provided by Mason County or by other
Jurisdictions operating in the County.
The chapter also contains goals and policies for the capital facilities operated by Mason County,
except for transportation facilities, which are discussed in the Transportation Chapter.
The capacity of the County facilities and the level of service they provide is discussed and
compared with the County's desired levels of service. The "level of service" is an objective
measure of how well services are provided to the public. Deficiencies and improvement needs
are identified, improvement costs are estimated, projects are scheduled for six and 20-year
planning horizons, and a six -year finance plan and possible financing options are discussed.
Besides the City of Shelton, there are other public organizations and special districts that have
capital facilities and taxing authority which exist in the county. These include the school districts,
hospital district, port districts, cemetery district, regional library system, and fire districts. These
districts have their own governing body and capital facilities planning. The county coordinated
the comprehensive plan with these bodies through meetings, correspondence, and by providing
draft of the comprehensive plan to these districts for comment. A list of these districts is
provided as follows:

Organization and Contents
The following section of this chapter, VI-2, includes a list of goals and policies that provides
the direction for future capital facility decisions for Mason County.
S ubsequent sections, VI-3 through 8, profile and analyze seven types of capital facilities in
the County, as follows:
Wastewater and Wastewater Utilities
S olid Waste Utility
P arks and Recreation Facilities
County Administration Buildings
Police and Criminal Justice Buildings
Stormwater Management Facilities
S ections 3 through 8 each includes a brief description of the existing systems and public
e ntities that provide the facilities. An assessment of future facility needs is also developed
for each category of facility The last section of this chapter VI-10 discusses financing for
county owned and operated facilities for the six -year financial planning period 2006 to 2011.
Facility Needs
A number of methods can be used to determine Mason County's capital facility needs over
the next six and 20-year GMA planning periods. As not all capital facilities require the same
level of analysis to determine needed improvements, different analytical techniques can be
employed to identify facility needs as long as they accomplish the goal of determining future
n eed for the capital facilities.
While the state Growth Management Act requires that level of service (LOS) standards be
e stablished to identify transportation improvements the need for other capital facilities can
be assessed using either LOS or planning level assumptions (WAC 365-195-315).
v►.2
Mason County Comprehensive Plan
August, 1998 - (updated in 2006; July 31, 2007) Capital Facilities
The advantage of using LOS standards is the ability to quantify deficiencies and identify
improvement needs. The LOS can also be used as a performance standard for
concurrency by comparing the service level being provided by a capital facility against
the quantitative LOS standard. The service is considered deficient if it does not meet the
service level standard that the County has determined it wants to deliver to its residents
and users. The LOS approach makes the most sense where there are easily
quantifiable facilities or where the state has defined the standards, such as for sewer and
water facilities.
The less rigorous planning assumptions approach also has advantages. The capital
facilities planning assumptions are not quantitative measures of facility need. Instead,
they identify facility improvements based upon the need to serve growth and
development anticipated in the land use element. This approach works best where
identification of quantitative measures would be difficult, where there are no statewide
standards, or where the necessary information or data to apply quantitative measures
would be difficult or too time-consuming to obtain. Facilities such as parks and
recreation and stormwater facilities might best be handled with this approach.
Financing
Facility needs are identified, and a six -year finance plan is developed, in section VI-10 for
the following County -owned and -operated facilities. -Finance plans for sewer service in

This section also includes the results of facility planning efforts completed by the County
for County administrative buildings police and criminal justice facilities and solid waste
facilities. Financing needs and options are included for these facilities as well. The
section appendix includes the capital facilities plans for Grapeview Hood Canal, North
Mason, Pioneer and Shelton School Districts, to facilitate orderly growth and
coordination in the provision of future capital facility needs.
Concurrencv Management
One of the Growth Management Act goals, referred to as ' concurrency," is the provision
of infrastructure facilities and services to serve projected growth at the time such growth
o ccurs, or within a reasonable time afterwards. This starts with identifying specific facility
n eeds using the strategies previously discussed. Another important aspect of
concurrency is the ability to monitor the development of infrastructure improvements to
assess whether they keep pace with approved development.
Concurrency management, as it is called, involves a set of land use and permit approval
processes designed to ensure facilities and services keep pace with growth. In some
cases, development codes could be enacted to require that specific LOS standards be
promulgated through the development of identified improvements.
In other cases, restrictions to growth may be imposed until appropriate service standards
for capital facilities are achieved. This might be the approach required for
u nincorporated areas within the City of Shelton Urban Growth Area (UGA), for instance.
Land use applications for certain development proposals, in areas targeted for future
growth, could have their approvals withheld pending concomitant development of
appropriate urban service level facilities (e.g., sewer facilities). The municipality would be
responsible for managing the concurrent development of these urban services. This can
be accomplished by requiring that individual developers fund and implement needed
improvements. Under this arrangement, the final tenant (e g., homebuyer or building
purchaser) would ultimately pay for the new facilities through a higher initial purchase
price or through a periodic assessment.
Mason County's policies for concurrency management are contained in the following
section, VI-2.

VI.2 GOALS AND POLICIES
Introduction
Capital Facilities
Mason County's Capital Facilities Element is guided by goals and policies for the
preferred service philosophy of the County. Goals and policies are required as part of
the Capital Facilities Element (RCW 36.70A) of the overall GMA Comprehensive Plan.
Development Process
Mason County evaluated it's existing facilities, it's future needs, it's costs, and the types
and levels of services which it should require or provide in the county. The goals and
policies listed herein are the result of this process. Policies listed under General Capital
Facilities apply to all facilities addressed in the Capital Facilities Chapter. Facility -specific
policies apply only to those facilities.

CF-206
Adopt level of service standards and concurrency requirements
recommended in this plan for wastewater/sanitary systems, water supply
systems, transportation facilities, and Storm water management facilities.
Public facilities needed to support development shall be available
concurrent with the impacts of development. The county shall establish
development regulations that will establish procedures and requirements
to assure that the concurrency requirements are met.
New development which has potential storm water impacts shall provide
evidence of adequate storm water management for the intended use of
the site. This policy shall apply in all areas of the county.
Building permits for any building necessitating domestic water systems

VI.3 WATER AND WASTEWATER UTILITIES
Introduction
Capital Facilities
The County owns and operates small water and sewer systems for the Harstene Pointe
and Rustlewood communities, and the water system for Beard's Cove community. In
addition, the County operates a medium-sized wastewater collection system and
treatment plant for the North Bay Case Inlet area. This area was defined through studies
of the area contributing human sewage contamination to Case Inlet, and the system
service area was set accordingly. In the smaller community -based systems there is no
planned expansion beyond the existing platted lots. These systems currently provide
services to approximately 1200 customers, with the potential to serve an additional 100.
The North Bay Case Inlet system provides service to approximately 950 customers, with
additional capacity to serve an estimated 850 additional equivalent residential units within
the existing service area.
The following "Water" and "Wastewater" sections provide project -level detail on the
planned improvements necessary to meet state regulatory guidelines in the provision of
water and wastewater services for these systems Each project in each section is
accompanied by a separate project sheet, which provides a description, and justification,
along with a table depicting the estimated costs and funding sources for planning period
2004 through 2010. A summary table that provides overall costs and funding sources for
each water and sewer system follows each section.
Financing the planned utility improvements requires the use of grants, loans, and capital
reserves. The specific combination of funds, and the availability of grants and loans,
may affect user rates for each system as well as the timing on projects The ability to
initiate specific projects will be assessed annually based on the urgency of need, reserve
funds available, and commitments from funding agencies to provide grants and/or loans.
The decisions about whether or not to proceed with any planned project is the decision
of the Mason County Board of Commissioners for consideration in the in the annual
budgeting and rate -setting process. To the extent possible, projects will be funded
through:
1) Rate revenues (capital reserves)
2) Grants;
3) Low interest loans; or
4) Some combination of 1-3 above.
Project costs shown in each section range in accuracy from + or — 40% to + or — 15%.
Each project cost sheet identifies the accuracy of the estimated costs shown, based on
the following scale:
'Planning Level" — The least accurate of costs estimates, in the range of + or — 40%.
Cost estimates at this level are usually based on a project concept and some
assessment of relative scale or annual program amounts commensurate with a level
of activity sufficient to accomplish the intent of the program over time.

• "Design Report' — Moderate accuracy, in the range of + or — 30%. Based on design
report evaluation of options and an assessment of project elements and associated
costs
• "Engineer's Estimate" — Most accurate estimate, in the range of + or —15%. These
estimates are based on a project design or significant completion of design work.
Future System Development
Included in the wastewater sections of this document are additional projects that are not
associated with the existing County -owned utility systems. These projects represent
efforts to provide utility services to areas which have been identified as problems with
regard to density and water quality, but where no established systems are currently in
place. There are two such areas where the County is currently investing resources in the
long-term resolution of identified problems:
Belfair Urban Growth Area

reference and suggests two viable alternatives for the Belfair area: a membrain biological
reactor (MBR) adjacent to the Belfair UGA and expansion of the North Bay/Case Inlet
facility. The Department of Ecology in May 2007 approved the Belfair Facility Plan which
outlines the development of an MBR facility as the preferred action for treatment on
Belfair area sewage. The analysis will provide refined options for potential sewer

through grants, loans, and utility rate revenues generated to cover system costs and
handled separately from the existing utilities. The project is expected to enter into the
design phase in 2007, with project completion within three years of the start date.
Hoodsport /Skokomish Area
The development of a sewer facility plan has been completed for the Hoodsport Rural
Activity Center. Additional sewer planning efforts are now under way for the Potlatch State
Park and Tribal areas. These planning efforts will address options for collection and
treatment of the more densely populated Hoodsport area the State Park and portions of the
tnbal lands. The funding for any recommended system development will initially be provided
through grants and/or loans until there is an established rate base to provide payments for
the system.

Project Name. Pump Station Overflow Reroute
Estimates: Planning Level
Capital Facilities
Description: Analyze options, then design and construct the piping and receiving basins
to detain pump station overflows resulting from failures at the primary transmission line
booster pumps.
Justification: The current pump stations are situated near receiving waters that could
be affected in the event of a pump failure and overflow. This project will analyze the
options for routing this potential overflow to artificial detention ponds, rather than it
reaching the surface waters where the effects would be much more pronounced. Design
and construction are included in the costs following the initial analysis of options.

Description: Analyze the options for providing additional treatment plant capacity and
provide engineering to design the improvements for construction in subsequent years.
Justification: The existing plant may be reaching design capacity for treatment in 2010.
This will require us to revisit the original sewer facility plan and address how we will
maintain sufficient capacity for the twenty-year period beyond 2010. This project outlines
the need for funding to conduct the analysis and design the next increment of capacity
for the plant.

Justification: Federal and state regulations require treatment systems to remove 85%
of the contaminantsfrom flows coming to the treatment plant. When inflow and
infiltration is excessive, the plant cannot achieve the required standard, resulting in
potential permit violations. In addition, valuable plant capacity is used to treat flows,
which do not require treatment. Plant operational costs also increase with the excess
flows due to infiltration and inflow.

VI.4 SOLID WASTE UTILITY
Introduction
Capital Facilities
Mason County's solid waste utility provides transfer and disposal operations for solid
waste at four transfer station locations, and eight "blue box" drop off sites for household
recyclable materials The largest transfer facility is located outside Shelton on Eels Hill
Road Materials collected from the other smaller stations at Hoodsport, Union, and
Belfair, are transported to the Shelton facility for shipping to Centralia, WA. From there,
the material is long -hauled via railroad to Roosevelt Landfill in Klickitat County, located in
Eastern Washington.
Household hazardous wastes (HHW) are collected and disposed of by Mason County
staff at the Shelton transfer facility. Residents in North Mason County can take their
HHW to the Kitsap County transfer station. This arrangement is established through
interlocal agreement and Mason County pays approximately $60 per customer for
collection and disposal or materials from residents who take their materials to the Kitsap
County facility.
The Shelton transfer facility is located at the former Mason County Landfill. The current
u tility provides post -closure monitoring and capital construction in support of the closed
landfill. The Shelton facility receives wastes collected by private and municipal haulers
o perating inside Mason County.
The Belfair and Shelton transfer facilities are nearing capacity in terms of the tonnage
they can effectively handle on a daily basis. Growth in the Belfair area and elsewhere in
the County continuesto impact operations at these facilities and capacity improvements
will need to be addressed in the near future.
The following pages provide details on specific projects proposed for the current capital
facilities planning period. Project estimates range in accuracy from + or — 40% to + or —
15% Each project cost sheet identifies the accuracy of the estimated costs shown
based on the following scale:
•
•
•
"Planning Level" — The least accurate of costs estimates, in the range of + or — 40%.
Cost estimates at this level are usually based on a project concept and some
assessment of relative scale, or annual program amounts commensurate with a level
of activity sufficient to accomplish the intent of the program over time.
"Design Report" — Moderate accuracy, in the range of + or — 30%. Based on design
report evaluation of options and an assessment of project elements and associated
costs
"Engineer's Estimate" — Most accurate estimate, in the range of + or —15%. These
estimates are based on a project design or significant completion of the design work.

Project Name. Belfair Household Hazardous Waste Facility Improvements
Estimates: Design Report
Description: Design and construct a facility to provide household hazardous waste
collection services to north county residents.
Justification: Currently north county residents must take their household hazardous
waste to the Kitsap County facility. This service is provided through an interlocal
agreement that costs $125.00 per visit. The costs are the same no matter what type of
material is dropped off at their facility. Our own facility would save us considerable cost
for disposal of less harmful materials such as motor oil or latex paints. Operation of a
county -owned facility would allow us to tailor the hours of operation and types of material
accepted to decrease these costs.

Mason County Comprehensive Plan
August, 1998 - (updated in 2006, July 31, 2007)
VI.5 PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES
Capital Facilities
System Description
Recreational opportunities in Mason County include parks for day -use activities and
overnight camping; fresh and salt water areas for boating and other water sports;
facilities and equipment for sports and play activities; and wilderness areas and other
open spaces for hiking, hunting, and horseback riding.
Existing parks and recreation facilities in Mason County are available through a variety of
public and private entities Federal and state facilities include camping, boating, and
day -use parks. The County -owned park system includes day -use and water access
facilities, sports fields, and related recreational areas. Other agencies providing park and
recreational resources include municipalities, port districts, and public schools. Some
private recreational facilities are open to the public as well.
County Park Facilities
The County currently manages 18 park properties in Mason County two of which are
undeveloped, and three others have large portions which are also undeveloped. Of the
developed parks, two are large baseball/softball complexes, five provide saltwater
access parks, two are located on freshwater lakes, and three provide upland day use
and recreation facilities (see FIGURE vi.5-1). In addition to the day use facilities, the
County also owns and maintains one above -ground skate park. The conditions of these
facilities vary by location, however, significant investment in facilities has been made in
the last two years from Real Estate Excise Tax proceeds (REET 2). The capital plan for
the next six years continues this trend of investment in park development and facility
upgrades. The heavy use and demand from both county and non -County residents are
particularly high during the spring and summer.
In recent years, parks operated by Mason County have received substantial increases in
visitors. Total visits increased 52 percent from 1992 to 1993, from 180,600 to 274,500
annual visits. Nearly half of the total increase was at Sandhill Park a sports park in
Belfair. Sandhill's visitation increased by 230 percent, from 20,300 to 67,000 visits, due in
large part to increased use of the park by local baseball softball, and soccer leagues.
Mason County Recreation Area, the largest baseball/softball complex has grown in use
the last several years and is now recognized regionally as a preferred site for major
tournaments.
There are no facilities for overnight camping throughout the Mason County Parks system.
The last county -wide park plan was developed in 1991 and subsequently updated in the
late 1990s. The previous plan recommended two sites for development as overnight
camping facilities, Truman Glick Memorial Park and Mason Lake Park. Camping options
will be examined in the long-term development plan being crafted for these and other
park properties with large portions of undeveloped land. Mason County developed a new
county -wide parks plan in 2006, which would include analysis and recommendations to
address recreation needs within the county

VI.6 COUNTY AND ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDINGS
Capital Facilities
System Description
Mason County owns several buildings, most of which are located in the City of Shelton, the
County seat. These buildings are used to support general County functions such as internal
management, health public service, and general administration. Other buildings owned by the
County include Memorial Hall, the Cooperative Extension Office, the Mason County
Fair/Convention Center, the Central Shop, the Belfair Annex and the Belfair Shop. TABLE vi.6-1
describes these sites. Locations of the facilities within the Shelton Campus are shown in FIGURE
vI.6-1.
Memorial Hall is located in Shelton, a few blocks from the main campus area. The Mason
County Extension Office is located about 3 miles north of Shelton, on the northeast side of
Highway 101, across from the Shelton airport. The Central Shop is located on Johns Prairie
Road near Bayshore. The Belfair Annex is located on Highway 3 in Belfair and the Belfair Shop
is situated on the north shore of Hood Canal about 3 miles from Belfair
Inventory
Mason County's administrative offices and departments housed in the buildings are listed in
TABLE vi.6-2. Also provided is a summary of current office area allocations for the County
departments and departmental functions.
Most of the County's administrative offices are located in the Shelton Campus, a four -square -
block section of the downtown area. At this location, the County operates from 12 publicly
owned buildings. These include the Courthouse Jail Juvenile Detention Facility, Building I,
Building II, Building III, Building IV, Building V, Building VI, Building VII Building VIII, and
Building IX. Other county administrative offices are located at Building X (Belfair Annex),
Building XI (Cooperative Extension Building), and the offices at the Mason County Fairgrounds.
Facility Needs
Facility needs are being developed through a space planning effort currently being updated by the
County. This work is based on an assessment of agency needs related to growth in both the
six- and 20-year planning horizons. While planning is continuing, the county has identified the
space needs for County administration, law enforcement, and criminal justice facilities. Specific
planned improvements for the first six -year planning period and associated financing are detailed
in Section VI.10 Finance Plan. Based on the "Space Standards Manual" published by the State of
Washington Department of General Administration, 251 square feet are needed per employee. In
addition, certain governmental functions have special requirements for facilities. Currently the
county has a deficit in space. Significant additional space will be required over the next six and
twenty years if the county is to offset that deficit and meet the future growth. The information is
summarized in Table VI.6-3. Needs analysis and facility planning was done in 1995 and 1996. The
background information and analysis can be found in "Update to Mason County Space Needs
Analysis for inclusion in the Mason County and Master Plan update, June 16, 1999."

VL7 POLICE AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE FACILITIES
System Description
The Mason County Sheriffs Office provides patrol and detective services to residents of unincorporated
Mason County. The Mason County District Court located in Shelton, handles all County -jurisdiction
cases. Mason County has a juvenile detention or lockdown facility. The County also has a severe
shortage of jail space for adults, resulting in the early release of some offenders.
Inventory
Law Enforcement
The County Sheriff s patrol division has a staff of 30 persons, of which 7 are assigned to the detective
division. The Sheriff's Office has a total staff of 92. The staff includes 33 jail employees, 37 police
officers, 16 support persons, and 6 administrative persons.
Criminal Activity
In 2004, the Sheriff's Office received 19,046 calls for service. The types of crimes reported in 2002,
2003, and 2004 are shown in TABLE v1.7-1. Overall, violent crimes account for approximately eight
percent of the criminal activity in Mason County There was a reduction in the number of violent crimes
between 2002 and 2003, followed by a substantial increase in 2004. The majority of crimes committed
in Mason County are property. For the past several years, total calls for service have increased, thus
limiting staff abilities to perform traffic enforcement duties. As a result, criminal traffic and infraction
traffic citations issued countywide were 6,068 in 2004, compared to 6 718 in 1992.
Jail Facilities
The Mason County Jail opened in 1985 with capacity for 45 inmates. In 1989, capacity was increased
to 51 and in 1991 it was increased to 58 beds with floor space for 106. In 1993, the average daily jail
population was 62. In 2004, the average daily jail population was 95 or 146% over capacity.

Facility Needs
In 1996, the Facilities Steering Committee and the Criminal Justice Working Team, working with
a consultant, assessed future County building needs. A report was issued jointly by the Facilities
Steering Committee and Cnminal Justice Working Team in 1996, and updated in 1999 Mason
County Space Needs Analysis for inclusion in the Mason County Master Plan update June 16
1999 ) which identified four capital facility projects Space needs are not determined by a simple
set of standards but by a comprehensive approach to the criminal justice systems program
needs. The projected cost of this plan and potential funding sources are incorporated in the
finance plan contained in Section VI-10 of this chapter. A summary of space needs for the next
six -year and 20-year planning periods can be located on Table VI.6-3 in the previous section
VI.6.

VI.8 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES
Capital Facilities
System Description
Existing stormwater facilities in Mason County include both natural (streams) and manmade
(pipeline) collection and conveyance systems. The existing systems generally handle runoff from
County Roads. The County currently has no stormwater plan or utility Stormwater is managed
primarily through onsite control measures.
Increases in the amount of impervious surfaces, such as rooftops, roads, driveways, and
buildings, cause increased stormwater runoff. Forestry practices, such as logging, new roads,
and construction, also increase runoff and downstream sedimentation. Storm water runoff,
erosion, sedimentation, and flooding problems will likely increase in Mason County as a result of
residential and commercial development, particularly in the designated urban growth areas.
Inventory
Mason County has adopted a Stormwater Management Ordinance (Mason County Code
Section 14.48). This ordinance adopts by reference the 1992 edition of the Washington State
Department of Ecology's Stormwater Management Manual, with the exception of the Minimum
Requirements chapter, for use in designing best management practices (BMPs) for new
development and other improvements. The ordinance defines specific minimum requirements
and other approval standards for development on all ranges of parcel sizes.-
The City of Shelton has prepared a Surface Water Drainage Utility Master Plan. That master
plan identifies existing problems in the city and offers some recommendations for improvements.
The city has scheduled some improvements based on the existing master plan, but the city also
intends to update the plan within the six -year financial planning period.
Facility Needs
In 2006, Mason County commenced the development of a comprehensive countywide
Stormwater Management Plan (referenced hereafter as the Plan). This includes a review of
existing Comprehensive Plan Stormwater Policies amendments to County Stormwater
regulations, and a review for consistency with the new Mason County Critical Areas Ordinance
(CAO) and Low Impact Development (LID) Standards. The Plan would address changing state
and regional regulatory requirements This includes the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit program of the Clean Water Act that controls water pollution by
regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. Also, the Plan
would consider implementation of the 2005-2007 Puget Sound Conservation Plan, and the
Department of Ecology (DOE) 2005 Stormwater Design Manual for Western Washington. The
Plan would address evolving water quality needs affecting Hood Canal and South Puget Sound,
and delineate program objectives and identify funding sources to fund Plan implementation.
The Plan includes developing Stormwater Management Plans for the Allyn and Belfair Urban
Growth Areas, and the Hoodsport area. These Stormwater Management Plans would assess
existing built conditions and evaluate future infrastructure and capital improvement needs.
Flooding problems in the Skokomish River watershed are being addressed in a Comprehensive
Flood Hazard Management Plan. This plan defines a total program of river maintenance

activities, valley creek maintenance measures, flood protection measures, and flood warning
and emergency response procedures.
Mason County anticipates that the Plan, the Stormwater Management Plans for the Allyn and
Belfair Urban Growth Areas, and the Hoodsport area, and the Skokomish River Watershed
Comprehensive Flood Hazard Management Plan would be completed and adopted in 2007.
Focused plans for specific problem areas may need to be developed in the future.

Project Name. Storm Water Facilities Development
Estimates: Planning Level
Capital Facilities
Description: Upgrading and construction of storm water facilities around the County will
provide treatment and proper control of storm water, reducing the risk of property damage and
contamination in our waterways. In support of efforts to implement more current regulations to
improve storm water quality, Mason County will be updating Ordinances and applying the new
Department of Ecology standards, beginning with the Allyn, Belfair and Hoodsport areas in
2007/2008, then the Union areas in 2009/2010 and continuing throughout the county.
Justifications: The criteria for development of storm water facilities will be driven by the
population and identified contamination of each area. The State of Washington has identified
several areas within Mason County where contamination is effecting the water quality of our
bays and lakes.

VI.9 PUBLIC WORKS FACILITIES
Introduction
Capital Facilities
Mason County Public Works is responsible for engineering, construction, operation and
maintenance of approximately 640-miles of county roads. Currently staff are housed on the
S helton campus, the Central Shop on Johns Prairie Road and the Belfair Shop.
Building 8, located on the Shelton campus, includes administrative services, accounting
services, environmental services, engineering and construction services and geographic
information services. The Information Services Section of Equipment Rental & Revolving Fund
(ER&R) is located a block away in Building 9. Road Maintenance and the Vehicle Maintenance
S ection of ER&R share the Central Shop facility located on Johns Prairie Road approximately 3-
miles north of Shelton. A small maintenance crew is located at the satellite shop in Belfair to
service roads in North Mason County.
P ublic Works has outgrown the Shelton campus facilities. The buildings located at the central
shop are over 50-years old, overcrowded and inefficient. The vehicle maintenance shop lacks
several modern amenities like insulation, women's restroom and building ventilation systems. A
lack of sufficient storage facilities results in expensive road maintenance equipment being stored
outside in the elements.
As a result, Public Works proposes to develop a master plan and construct a multi -use facility to
house the entire department. This will result in better communication and coordination of the
various sections in the department. A shared multi -use facility will provide more efficient use of
space and county resources. The Belfair Shop, however, will continue to operate as a satellite
facility.
Financing the planned multi -use facility requires the use of grants, loans, and county road funds.
Project costs shown range in accuracy from + or — 40% to + or — 15%. Each project cost sheet
identifies the accuracy of the estimated costs shown, based on the following scale:
• "Planning Level" — The least accurate of costs estimates, in the range of + or — 40% Cost
estimates at this level are usually based on a project concept and some assessment of
relative scale, or annual program amounts commensurate with a level of activity sufficient to
accomplish the intent of the program over time.
"Design Report" — Moderate accuracy, in the range of + or — 30%. Based on design report
evaluation of options and an assessment of project elements and associated costs.
"Engineer's Estimate" — Most accurate estimate, in the range of + or —15%. These estimates
are based on a project design or significant completion of design work.

2007 — 2012 Capital Facilities Plan Worksheet - Public Works
Fund: County Road Fund and Equipment Rental & Revolving Fund
Project Name: New Belfair Shop
Estimates: Planning Level
Description: Public Works is in the early stages of negotiation to acquire property in the
vicinity of Sandhi!! Elementary School for the location of the new Belfair Shop. The Shop will
include a work staging area, vehicle maintenance bay, crews lunch/meeting room, restrooms &
shower facilities, offices, vehicle and equipment storage and materials storage.
Justifications: The current Belfair Shop is very old, it is located in a residential neighborhood
adjacent to Hood Canal and does not have it's own water source. The Shop is hooked up to the
neighbor's well. Concerns have been expressed about the proximity of the material storage to
the Canal. The site is woefully inadequate for the road maintenance services being provided to
the north end of the County. If the land trade negotiations are successful, therewould be no
capital outlay for the land and the shop would be in a much more appropriate location.

Fund: County Road Fund and Equipment Rental & Revolving Fund
Project Name: Satellite Maintenance Yard Development
Estimates: Planning Level
Description: Public Works will be developing selected sites at various locations across the
County to better serve the requirements of maintenance activities such as: clearing and grading,
installing wells and water systems, installing electric power to support site services constructing
equipment/materials storage buildings and facilities, paving storage sites and developing roads
on the properties. Acquisition of individual properties will supplement existing property holdings
to provide for uses such as sites for stormwater treatment facilities and disposal sites for ditch
spoils and slide materials from maintenance or construction excavations.
Justifications: The changing mandates and requirements of road maintenance necessitate the
expansion / upgrade of certain facilities, while the need to develop stormwater detention facilities
and ditch spoil disposal sites require the purchase of property in specific locations.

Project Name. Pole Barn Structure at Shelton -Matlock Road Site
Estimates: Planning Level
•
Description: The County Road Fund owns property on Shelton -Matlock Road that is currently
used as a fenced materials and equipment storage yard. The construction of a Pole Barn type
Structure on this site will help to facilitate the efficient deployment of crews and equipment to the
south end of the County, particularly during snow and ice conditions. The price below reflects a
fully enclosed metal structure.
Justifications: Currently crews assigned to maintain, plow and de-ice the south portion of the
County must go to the Central Shop to get the equipment needed to respond. When doing
scheduled maintenance in the south end, the crews end up using valuable working time
traveling to and from the Central Shop transporting heavy equipment, vehicles tools and
materials needed for their work. One of the Public Work's long range goals is the placement of
satellite maintenance yards in several locations in the county to improve response and
efficiency.

Project Name. New Public Works Facility and Vehicle Maintenance Shop
Estimates: Design Level
Description: The County Road Fund owns approximately 85 acres located at the intersection
of U.S. Highway 101 and State Road 102 A design consultant has been selected and it is
anticipated that the design will be complete by early spring of 2007, with construction beginning
in the summer of 2007. The facility will serve County Road Administrative, Engineering and
Maintenance divisions as well as Equipment Rental Administrative, Information Services and
Mechanical Shop Emergency Services and the new County Emergency Operations Center will
also be located in the new facility. Public Works will be financing the majority of this project with
a LOCAL Loan from the State Treasurers Office. Design work and site preparation will be done
with Public Works funds.
Justifications: The Central Shop used by the Road Maintenance division and the ER&R
Mechanical Shop has been identified as a priority replacement due to it's age, condition and
safety concerns. Road Administration & Engineering have completely outgrown the current office
space and have personnel in other buildings and in hallways. The Emergency Services
department currently rents space from the Port, but the space does not comply with Homeland
Security's access restriction standards and the infrastructure is not reliable enough to serve as
the County's Emergency Operations Center.

VI. 10 FINANCE PLAN
Introduction
This section discusses Mason County capital facilities needs and related funding sources. As
required under the Growth Management Act (GMA) a six -year finance plan has been prepared
for the years 2006 to at least the year 2011 for those facilities currently, or to be owned and
operated by the County.
The following facilities are included in the financial planning:
® Water and Wastewater Systems
® Solid Waste Management Facilities
® County Administrative and Law Enforcement Buildings
▪ Public Works Facilities
■ Parks and Recreation
■ Transportation
Only County owned and operated facilities, except for the community -based wastewater systems
for rural activity centers, are included in the finance analysis. Several alternatives have been
suggested to deal with the problem of providing water and wastewater service in areas outside
the existing utility service area in which growth is forecast. The service area for the solid waste
utility is county -wide.
The finance plan identifies reasonably reliable funding sources, and forecasts revenue and
expenses to at least the year 2011. Funding varies depending on the facility. The different
financing methods, public or private, could have significant implications on the cost of utility
service. Potential funding sources that could be used to fund unanticipated needs and shortfalls
are also discussed.
Financial Impact Overview
The financial impact for capital facility improvements have been analyzed for the six year
planning period. Information on transportation can be found in the Transportation Chapter. A
summary of the six year improvement costs, revenues and financing is listed in Table 10-1. The
Table displays the cost by capital facility category. The total of improvement costs and
expenditures is $110,310,400. The total identified for revenues and financing is $110,310,400.

Conventional Water and Wastewater Systems
Capital Facilities
The County owns and operates a combined water and wastewater utility which includes the water
supply and wastewater treatment facilities at Harstine and Rustlewood, and the Beard's Cove water
supply facility. There is no expansion in the service area of these utilities planned to accommodate
new growth outside of their existing service areas. Information about system improvements needed
to maintain acceptable levels of service for residents in the existing service area has been provided
by the Mason County Department of Utilities and Waste Management.
The County is also in the process of developing or examining community -based wastewater systems
in the Belfair Urban Growth Area and its vicinity and in the Hoodsport area.
Information provided in Table VI.4-1 and the facility worksheets which follow it summarize the
planned water supply capital improvements over the next six years.
Solid Waste
Table VI.4-2-presents revenue sources and expenditure levels for Mason County solid waste services from
2006 to 2011. Further detail is provided in the facility worksheets that follow the table.
Municipal Buildings and Law Enforcement Facilities
The Facilities Steering Committee and the Criminal Justice Working Team, working with a consultant, has
assessed future County building needs. A report issued jointly by the Facilities Steering Committee and
Criminal Justice Working Team in early January, 1996, has identified four capital facility projects. At this
time, the Department of Facilities and Grounds proposes to fund and make necessary improvements over
a number of years. Table VI 10-2 shows the 2006-2011 plan.
Parks and Recreation
The County has identified over the six year period large number of park and recreation improvements. The
projects include improvements to existing parks and boat launches as well as the development of new ball
fields. The total cost for these improvements are expected to be approximately $6.7 million (see Table
Drainage Management
Stormwater management for development in Mason County is managed by the county
stormwater ordinance, flood hazards management ordinance, subdivision ordinance, and other
regulations. The County does not have a formal drainage program or drainage comprehensive
plan. Drainage facility improvements in the County are typically related to the roadway system.
Table VII1.5-2 displays the improvement costs that are expected over the six year planning
period. All improvements are related to roadway system improvements. Section VI-8 has
additional information on stormwater management.
