Dear Commissioners,
I am applying for the Mason County Cemetery District 1 Board Commissioner position that was advertised
on the MasonWebTV Site. I understand that this is a volunteer position that will last about six years. I feel
that this could be something of great interest for me and fit very well with me living about a half mile from
the cemetery.
There was not a lot of information listed about what would be involved with the management of the Twin
Firs Cemetery in Belfair, WA. However, I did work for Miller-Woodlawn Cemetery and Funeral Home in
Bremeton, Wa for about four years from 1992-1996. 1 assisted families with cemetery placement for their
loved ones and made sure that all the legal documents were in order for burial. In 2005, 1 began working
for PSNS as tool room operator and retired in 2017 as a Supervisor for pneumatic repair mechanics. I
live in Belfair with my retired husband and granddaughter. Please feel free to contact me with any
questions that you may have of me at(360) 633-5577 or debndel(aD-yahoo.com.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Debra Braz

The Honorable Kevin Shutty, Chair a, Mason County
Mason County Board of Commissioners Commissioners
411 North Fifth Street
Shelton,WA 98584
Dear Commissioner Shutty:
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages approximately 28,909
acres of State Forest Transfer and Purchase Lands that benefit Mason County. These lands
generated $461,000 in the first quarter of calendar year 2019. Net value under contract for
calendar year 2019 is estimated at $3,859,000 from activities expected to occur under current
contracts.
Thanks to all of you who provided input and suggestions to us regarding the future format for this report.
We are in the process of developing the new report style. Please be aware that you will continue to
receive this report in its current style until we have completed the new formatted version.
We want to notify you of a recent change that pertains to counties that receive revenue from state
forestlands. After consulting with the Office of the Attorney General about revenue disbursements and in
an effort to mitigate risks and reduce errors in those disbursements, DNR has determined that initial
deposits will be held as security until all of the obligations of the purchaser are satisfied under timber
sales contracts as required by law. All or a portion of the initial deposit may be distributed as the final
payment for the sale of valuable materials after the Department determines that adequate security exists
for the remaining performance of any obligations of the purchaser under contract. This change affects
the timing of revenue distribution and does not affect the total amount of revenue distributed. If you have
any questions regarding this change please contact Leah Fenner, Finance Manager, at 360-902-1259.
The income information in this report does not include anticipated revenues from additional
planned activities (contracts harvests, leases, easements, etc.) for which contracts have not been
finalized. These income estimates are net after the current agency management cost percentage
has been applied.
Some counties receive portions of their income from leases and fees; however,the majority of
income reflected in this report is derived from timber sales. As most revenue stems from timber
sales, these projections can fluctuate depending upon when timber harvests occur. Market
conditions, weather, contract requirements, and regulatory requirements influence timber
purchasers' decisions about when to harvest.
PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER DNR IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER.

I appreciate how necessary revenue is to the success of county functions. DNR consistently
strives to ensure that we realize the maximum available income from the State Forest Transfer
and Purchase Lands. Should you have any questions regarding this information, please contact
Scott Sargent, South Puget Sound Region Manager, at 360-825-1631 or at

COUNTY INCOME REPORT
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
April 2019
Two categories of lands are managed by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
specifically to benefit counties:
1. State Forest Transfer Lands. Lands acquired by counties through tax foreclosures were transferred to
DNR to manage. Management fee rates are established by the Board of Natural Resources. Currently,
counties receive 75 percent of the revenue from these lands.
2. State Forest Purchase Lands. State-issued bonds were used to acquire certain parcels from private
owners. Typically, these forest lands had been severely logged and were in need of active management.
Allocation of revenue from these lands was determined when purchase was authorized, as follows: 26.5
percent to the county in which the property is located; 50 percent to DNR for management expenses;
and the remaining 23.5 percent to the State General Fund.
Nineteen counties include these types of State Forest Lands within their county boundaries.
Income from management activities on State Forest Lands is designated for allocation to several taxing districts
in each county. Only a small amount is available to the county for discretionary use.
Revenue from State Forest Lands originates primarily from timber sales. These amounts vary widely as market
conditions fluctuate. Smaller portions of revenue are derived from activities such as communication site leases,
rights-of-way easements for utilities and roads, special forest products, special uses, and interest. Income will
also vary with the number of revenue-generating activities within a given year. Variables responsible for high
revenues in one year can lead to reduced income the following year.
• Table 1 shows the annual revenue for each county from calendar year 2009 through the first quarter of
calendar year 2019. This table illustrates the variability in total revenues from year to year.
• Table 2 shows projected revenue for all 19 counties from all activities on State Forest Lands for
calendar year 2019.
• Table 2A shows projected revenue for each timber sale on State Forest Lands in your county anticipated
to occur for 2019 and beyond(enclosed if applicable).
• Table 3 shows the volume and net value under contract as of March 31, 2019 that is not currently
scheduled for harvest until after December 2019 (enclosed if applicable).
Projections were developed by DNR region staff by contacting each timber purchaser that has rights to an
upcoming sale. Purchasers were asked how much and when they planned to harvest the timber from each sale.
These projected timber revenues should be considered rough estimates only; actual activity will depend on
individual sale characteristics (species, volume, location, etc.), combined with outside market factors as
determined by each purchaser.
The schedule of future timber sales from State Forest Lands in your county is available upon request from
Department of Natural Resources' region staff.

disconnection,removal, or relocation at no charge to the County, even if the County makes the
request for such action.

BRIEFING DATE: May 6 2019
BRIEFING PRESENTED BY: Diane Sheesle
[] ITEM WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY BRIEFED WITH THE BOARD
Please provide explanation of urgency: April 15 &29, 2019
ITEM: Interlocal Agreement— PUD 3
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the Interlocal Agreement is to partner with PUD 3 on refurbishing the
eleven (11) street lights on the Harstine Island Bridge that have not been operational for some time. The
agreement would also add new lighting on the east and west of the bridge and the Harstine Bridge Road and
South Island Drive intersection.
PUD 3 reached out to Public Works with a partnership opportunity after hearing that Mason County would be
applying for a Local Bridge Program Grant for the Harstine Island Bridge. The partnership would include PUD
3 refurbishing the 11 lights on Harstine Island Bridge; which would include replacing the electrical wiring,
securing access, installing bird spikes, and replacing non-functioning HPS lights with energy efficient, Dark
Sky Compliant LED Lights. After community engagement, our recommendation is to add LED illumination to
the bridge approaches and the Harstine Bridge Road and South Island Drive intersection as well.
PUD 3 operates an unmetered LED street and area lighting program for the benefit of the public and in the
interest of public safety. With the Harstine Island Bridge being a highly visible structure, it will demonstrate
new resources to service electrical demands, and the many benefits of LED lighting. The LED lights PUD 3
uses are made in Renton, WA and are specifically designed to reduce light pollution by shining light directly
onto the roadway.
The project was presented on:
April 10th -TIP-CAP (Transportation Improvement Program —Citizen Advisory Panel) Meeting
April 12th - Harstine Community Meeting
April 15th — Board of Commissioners at the Public Works Briefing
April 22nd - Harstine Island property owners closest to the bridge were mailed a letter requesting their input
April 29th — Board of Commissioners at the Public Works Briefing with PUD 3 staff in attendance
Agreement shall remain in effect for ten (10) years and will automatically renew on a year-to
year basis and may thereafter be terminated by either party upon a ninety (90) day written
notice to the other party.
Cost Impact to the County: PUD 3 will pay for the expense to purchase all materials and
perform all labor, plus maintain, repair and replace lighting for a minimum period of ten (10)
years from the date of installation.
County Road Fund will pay the rate established by PUD 3 in Schedule 41, Outdoor Lighting
Rates.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Recommend the Board approve the Chair to execute the Interlocal Agreement
between PUD 3 and Mason County for the lighting retrofitting project on Harstine Island Bridge.

To Whom it may Concern:
This letter is to address potential concerns by neighbors to the property in Mason County being
considered for a youth camp.
Impact Northwest partners with youth organizations such as Royal Rangers, Mpact Girls, and
various church youth groups to provide a positive environment for youth to be challenged,
learn, and grow in their appreciation for both nature conservation and social development.
Most events will feature Scouting type activities with that sort of camp atmosphere, with the
focus of positive self-esteem. Alcohol,drugs, or abuse of any kind will not be tolerated.
This camp development is for short term group events featuring smaller groups from local area
churches and organizations. Many will be Day Camps. Others for a 1-2-3 day type event.
Tent camping will be the preferred lodging.
No long term or permanent trailers or motor homes will be allowed.Those are not part of our
program.Trailer space, or hook ups for trailers, are in no way part of our development plan.
Because usage of this camp will be of smaller local nature,vehicle traffic is expected to be light
with little, if any, impact to county roads or traffic flow.
Safety is of primary concern when dealing with youth. Parents allow their children to be brought
in for a fun and safe activity. Safety precautions will be required of all groups using the camp.
Fire is a major concern; both for children as well as the forested environment. Groups will be
required to bring their own, above ground "no trace" type fire pits, or must use pre-built camp
fire pits when we will construct in safe and controlled areas. We value the beauty and balance of
nature we have been blessed with, and intend to keep it that way.
All fires will be under the direct supervision of camp staff. Children around fires will have an
adult supervisor present at all times.
I hope this has serviced to ease concerns about the proposed camp.
Sincerely,
Dean Kimber

Resource Ordinance
Title 8.52 MCC
8.52.020 — Purpose.
The purpose of the Resource Ordinance is to protect Mason County's natural resource lands and critical
areas while the County develops its comprehensive plan and associated regulations. The regulations
established in this Chapter, adopted by Ordinance No. 77-93,seek to:
Establish uniform processes to be used by Mason County for the review of land use and development
proposals within critical areas and resource lands.
Conserve resource lands for productive economic use by identifying and designating resource lands
where the principal and preferred land use is commercial resource management, and by protecting the
same from incompatible land uses.
Protect the identified critical areas in their natural functions, along with air and water quality,to sustain
the County's quality of life.
Encourage creative development techniques and land use practices which will help to accomplish these
goals.
Encourage the voluntary enrollment of agricultural lands and uses into the Open Space Tax Program
and agricultural activities into the Voluntary Stewardship Program.
This ordinance fulfills the goals of the State Growth Management Act(RCW 36.70A et al) and the State
Environment Policy Act (RCW 43.21).
8.52.030 — Definitions.
For the purposes of this chapter:
Voluntary Stewardship Program: Enabled under the state's Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A.700)
on July 22, 2011,this is a non-regulatory, incentive-based approach to protecting critical areas on
agricultural lands, while maintaining agricultural viability. (Refer to MCC 8.52.050(E))
8.52.050 — Relationship to Other Regulations.
(E) Voluntary Stewardship Program.
Washington's Growth Management Act(Chapter 36.70A RCW) requires all counties to identify and
protect critical areas, including critical areas on agricultural lands.The Voluntary Stewardship
Program (VSP), adopted on July 22, 2011, offers a voluntary, incentive based approach for
counties to meet that requirement.The Program begins by establishing a baseline of critical area
conditions and then monitors responsive changes to that baseline over a 10-year period. The VSP
applies to land where agricultural activities occur, and provides a unique strategy to protect
critical areas while also promoting agriculture. Rather than creating new regulations,the VSP
allows Mason County to rely on education, outreach, and voluntary incentive programs to achieve
protection. Under VSP, critical areas on lands where agricultural activities are conducted are
protected under this voluntary program instead of the resource regulations through best
management,or conservation, practices. Lands used for non-agricultural purposes continue to be
regulated under the regulations of this Chapter. The guiding document for the VSP is the Work
Plan; however the VSP is not a regulatory program and the completed Work Plan is not formally
Page/1 Amending Title 8, Chapter 8.52 to Incorporate the Voluntary Stewardship Program
ATTACHMENT"A"
adopted by the Mason County Commissioners. The VSP does not grant the state or the county
any additional regulatory authority.
(1) Work Plan
The Work Plan was developed by the VSP Work Group which is a Commissioner
appointment citizen group comprised of agricultural producers, interested citizens,and
agency representatives.The Work Plan includes detailed information such as protection
and enhancement goals, measurable benchmarks, and an implementation, reporting, and
tracking framework. One of the main goals of the Work Plan is to identify conservation
practices that are implemented under existing programs or voluntarily implemented
practices, and identify future goals and benchmarks for continued protection and
enhancement of the County's critical area functions and values.
(2) Participation in VSP
The VSP applies to all agricultural activities where they intersect with critical areas,
including new and ongoing activities. Many agricultural operators in Mason County are
already conducting conservation practices that promote agricultural viability while also
providing protections to critical areas. Under VSP,operators have flexibility in how they
participate ranging from continuing current agricultural operations outside of any tracking
framework to implementing an Individual Stewardship Plan with new or additional
conservation practices and annually sharing practices implemented as part of the reporting
process. No agricultural operator will be required to participate in voluntary stewardship
practices as part of this program, and the program cannot require anyone to discontinue
any agricultural activities legally existing before July 22, 2011.
(3) Individual Stewardship Plans
Individual Stewardship Plans (ISPs) are generally prepared by the Mason Conservation
District, as the designated technical assistance entity,together with the agricultural
operator,to capture the protection and/or enhancement activities performed by the
operator as part of the VSP. ISPs are not defined in the VSP statute, and could even take
the form of a simple checklist of conservation practices and programs that further the goals
of the VSP. Every ISP developed as part of the VSP will count toward the success of the
overall program, even if it captures conservation practices already being implemented as
long as they were started after the baseline date of July 22, 2011.
(4) Baseline Conditions
The effective date of the VSP legislation is July 22, 2011.This date identifies the baseline for
protecting critical areas functions and maintaining agricultural viability that will be the
comparison for determining the success of the Work Plan during_implementation.
(5) Benefits to Participation
The VSP serves as an alternative to the regulatory approach of the GMA by allowing
Counties to show protection of critical areas through voluntary stewardship measures.
Participating in VSP contributes to its overall success,which means less regulatory burden
on Mason County's agriculture operators.At the County level,the VSP provides an
opportunity to avoid application of critical area regulations to agricultural activities, while
developing a locally-tailored approach to protection of critical areas on agricultural lands.
At the individual level, participants receive technical assistance including leveraging existing
Page 2 Amending Title 8,Chapter 8.52 to Incorporate the Voluntary Stewardship Program
ATTACHMENT"A"
voluntary incentive programs such as financial assistance and cost share programs, and the
planning and implementation of conservation activities. VSP encourages the
implementation of conservation activities that benefit agricultural viability.
(6) Regulatory Backstop
The VSP allows for counties to incorporate existing regulations that help achieve the Work
Plan's goals and benchmarks. These regulatory backstops are portions of this Chapter that
will remain in full force and effect,and existing and future agricultural activities occurring
in these critical areas will continue to be regulated under the County's resource
regulations. Under the approved Work Plan,Section 8.52.140 (Geologically Hazardous
Areas), Section 8.52.150 (Seismic Hazard Areas), and Section 8.52.130 (Frequently Flooded
Areas)will remain in effect for agricultural activities occurring in these critical areas.
8.52.170— Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas.
(D) Establishment of Buffers on Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas.
FWHCA's shall have buffers established and maintained along their perimeters. Buffers shall be
retained in their natural condition, except as provided elsewhere in the ordinance codified in this
chapter.
(4) Activities in FWHCA's or Buffers that Do Not Require a Habitat Management Plan.

The purpose of this subsection is to encourage property owners to protect critical areas and their
buffers and to reduce the burden on property owners from the application of the Resource
Ordinance regulations. The options given below may be used individually, or they may be
combined for greatest effect and benefit.
(9) {KVoluntary Stewardship Program. The implementation of plans and practices that

conducted in geologically hazardous areas, seismic hazard areas, and frequently flooded
areas. Refer to Section 8.52.050(E). Exemption from this Chapter shall not be deemed to grant
exemption from any other provisions of the Mason County Code including MCC Chapter 14.04
(State Building Codes), MCC Title 17 (Zoning and Shoreline Master Program), and all applicable
