ITEM: Request to reorganize the administrative structure of the Superior Court.
Background: The three Mason County Superior Court Judges currently exercise direct
supervision over three main divisions of the Superior Court: the general Superior Court, the
Therapeutic Courts and the Juvenile Court. In addition, the Judges exercise direct
supervision over the Court Commissioners. The request set forth in this briefing does not
relate to the supervision over Court Commissioners. A copy of the current organizational
structure is attached to this Summary as"Attachment A", and incorporated by this reference.
Current General Superior Court. This includes the general functions of the Superior
Court (Criminal, Domestic, Juvenile, Dependency, Civil, Probate, ITA, Guardianship,
Appellant, Truancy, Adoption). The current Superior Court Administrator position supervises
these functions at the direction of the judges. In addition to the supervisory role, the current
Superior Court Administrator position also performs the direct tasks of Court scheduling,
preparing, accounting and maintaining the general budget, managing the infrastructure, IT
support and other needs of the Court and facilities. The current Superior Court Administrator
position supervises staff, including two Court Recorder/Judicial Assistant positions, one Court_
Recorder/Family Law Facilitator and the Therapy Court Program Manager.
Current Therapeutic Courts. This includes the four Therapeutic Courts: the Veteran's
Court, the Mental Health Court, the Drug Court, and the Family Recovery Court. The current
Superior Court Administrator position supervises the Therapy Court Program Manager who
provides administration functions for the operations of the four Therapeutic Courts. The
Program Manager further supervises staff, including three Caseworkers. The Therapy Court
Program Manager is also responsible for preparing, accounting and maintaining the
Therapeutic Court budget.
Current Juvenile Court. This includes Juvenile Court Probation and Juvenile Court
Detention. The Juvenile Court Administrator administers these functions at the direction of
the judges and is not supervised by the current Superior Court Administrator position. The
Juvenile Court Administrator supervises the Deputy Juvenile Court Administrator who, in
addition to the direct duties involving the juvenile court, further supervises staff, including
Briefing Summary 3/16/2021
the Juvenile Court Program Coordinator, the Lead Probation Officer, four Probation
Counselors, and the Office Technician. The Juvenile Court Administrator further manages
the Juvenile Detention facility and supervises staff, including the Detention Supervisor who
serves as a.lead and performs duties as a Detention Officer, along with eight other Detention
Officers. In addition, the Juvenile Court Administrator supervises an Accounting Technician
who accounts for and maintains the Juvenile Court budget.
Proposed Changes.
First Phase: The Superior Court is requesting that a change be made in the administrative
structure of the Court to be considered in three phases. This request involves only the first
phase. The first phase would consolidate the administration of all of the three divisions of
the Superior Court under one Chief Superior Court Administrator. In addition, the first phase
would result in the creation of a new position in the form of a Finance Manager to
consolidate all of the financial functions of the three court divisions into one department.
The new Finance Manager position would report to and be directed by the Chief Superior
Court Administrator. This phase also eliminates the current Superior Court Administrator
position. The change in Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions requested is 1. A copy of the
organizational structure for the First Phase is attached to this Summary as"Attachment B",
and incorporated by this reference.
Rationales/First Phase.
Timing. Robyn Lockwood, the current Superior Court Administrator, is retiring at the end
of April, 2021. This retirement required the Superior Court to address the appropriateness of
maintaining the status quo of a very inefficient management structure that is ill equipped to
provide the appropriate supervision of the three expanding divisions of the Superior Court.
There is an urgency to deal with these issues and the retirement of Ms. Lockwood gives the
Superior Court an opportunity,to address these inefficiencies and make necessary changes in
order to streamline the flow of information and to centralize the administration of the three
divisions under the direction of the Superior Court Judges.
Finance Manager. Currently, there are several budgets managed in the various divisions
of the Superior Court. There is no suggestion that these budgets should be changed.
However, it is the belief of the Superior Court that there would be more efficiencies
associated with having all budgets managed out of the same office as well as creating one
point of contact with the BOCC and Budget Manager at the time of annual budget
preparation. This will assist the Superior Court judges in meeting their management
responsibilities and allow them to go to a single source in order understand the financial
status and needs of the various divisions. Creating a single office will create further,
efficiencies for the other budgetary functions as well, such as payroll and grant
reporting/compliance. This position can further assist in the development of grant
applications and build upon and enhance the recent success that the Superior Court has had
in grant awards throughout its divisions. On this point, it should be further noted that with
the various court programs accessing more federal grants, consolidating financial services
would also allow for the development of internal expertise in handling these very time-
consuming and data-driven money sources. Given the volume of financial transactions in the
three divisions, the Superior Court has determined that it will be appropriate to move the
Accounting Technician from the Juvenile Court division, to a position under the supervision of
the Finance Manager.
Briefing Summary 3/16/2021
Chief Superior Court Administrator. Currently, the management of the various divisions
of the Superior Court is disjointed. There is.no single line of communication between the
Superior Court judges and the various divisions. It is difficult, at best, for the judges to
perform their primary roles as judicial officers and ensure that they are meeting their
responsibilities to manage all of the divisions in an equal manner. A single administrative
position that focuses equally on all three divisions will create a single, consistent source of
information flowing to the.Superior Court judges, thereby enhancing their ability to keep
informed of the ongoing functions of each division while providing for an efficient manner for
them, in turn, to provide the appropriate direction. In addition, with the consolidation of the
financial department, there would be one single source administrator to direct the functions
of the financial department under the direction of the Superior Court Judges.
Potential Changes/Second and Third Phases:
Second Phase: The Superior Court recognizes that there may be a need to adjust staffing
and leadership roles in the General Superior Court Division. There are multiple non-
supervisory tasks currently performed by the current Superior Court Administrator, along
with a new set of job responsibilities that have emerged as a result of the changes made to .
functions of the Court, Post-Covid. A major component of the existing Superior Court
Administrator's current job responsibilities include the financial/budgetary functions that
would be transferred in phase one to the new Finance Manager position. The Superior Court
believes that as a second phase, it would be best to allow the new Chief Superior Court
Administrator to consider how all of these functions will best be covered by: existing staff;
the Chief Superior Court Administrator; a new staff level and/or supervisory position under
the direction of the Chief Superior Court Administrator; or a combination of these positions.
Third Phase: The'Superior Court recognizes that the current administration of the Juvenile
Court, which includes Juvenile Probation and Juvenile Detention, also needs to be addressed.
However, given the current legislation pending at the State level, Senate Bill 5122 (this bill
modifies the juvenile offender statutes by changing the definition of"juvenile"to mean any
individual who is under the chronological age of 20, instead of 18 years), the Superior Court
believes it would be premature to address any potential changes. Again, the Superior Court
would look to the new Chief Superior Court Administrator to make a recommendation
regarding any changes. The Superior Court believes that as a third phase, it would be best
to wait to learn what, if any, changes will be made to the Juvenile Court as a result of any
new legislation before addressing any administrative changes that would be appropriate
under the first phase structure.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: (If applicable, please include available options and potential
solutions):
BUDGET IMPACT: For the budget year 2021, the savings for the eliminated
Superior Court Administrator position on May 1, 2021, with salary and benefits, is
estimated to be $80,666.04. The annual estimated cost for the Chief Superior
Court Administrator is $91, 323.83 and Superior Court Finance Manager is
$67,206.29, including salary and benefits, with the positions beginning on May 1,
2021. The 2021 combined budget increase is $77,864.07 Calculated with the
assistance from Human Resources.

ITEM: Request for two additional Detention Officers
Background: The Mason County Juvenile Detention Center operates 24 hours per day, every
day of the year (24/365). The Detention Center houses juvenile residents (currently up to 17
years of age) that are being held by the Superior Court pursuant to a Court Order or Rule,
typically related to Juvenile Offender matters of various degrees of seriousness. There are
two operating shifts-of Detention Officers that cover every 24-hour period (6am to 6pm and
6pm to 6am). Our facility is the only facility in the State that operates with only two full-time
staff(one female and one male) as its base staffing pattern for all shifts. This staffing
pattern requires that one staff be locked in the control area while the other staff is by
themselves on the floor with the juvenile residents.
During the last several years there has been a significant increase in juveniles with numerous
and considerable behavioral issues who are entering the facility and frequently there are
multiple juveniles with such issues at the facility at any given time. These juveniles
necessitate additional resources to manage.
Over the last two years, the facility has experienced multiple incidents which are,
demonstrating the need for additional staff resources, the most recent of which occurred in
January, 2021. Historically, the most likely period of time for heightened juvenile
interactions and incidents is during the hours of 12 pm (noon) to 12 am (midnight). :
The current single-staffing on the floor puts the detention staff in a precarious situation
when having to physically intervene with a juvenile who is placing him/herself in danger, or
placing other juveniles in danger. The Court has concluded that this is not a safe situation
for the staff, the juvenile with behavioral issues, or other juvenile residents who are
bystanders.
Proposal: In an effort to increase the safety of the juvenile residents and staff, the Court is
proposing that two new full-time Juvenile Detention Officer positions (2 FTEs) be added to .
the current staff. The two new positions will give the Detention Facility the ability to have
three officers assigned as a base staffing pattern during the hours of 12 pm (noon) to 12 am
Briefing Summary 3/16/2021
(midnight) on a daily basis throughout the year. The base staffing pattern for the other shift
will remain the same, with only two officers assigned.

facilities to accommodate the construction, operation, or repair of the facilities of such other
person, the Permittee shall, after 30 days' advance written notice, take action to effect the
necessary changes requested; provided that, if such project is related to or competes with

operation of Permittee's utility facilities or otherwise,Permittee shall not be required to relocate
its utility facilities. Unless the matter is governed by a valid contract or a state or federal law or

cost of the same shall be borne by the Person requesting the protection, support, temporary
disconnection,removal, or relocation at no charge to the County, even if the County makes the
request for such action.
E. The Permittee shall, on the request of any person holding a valid permit issued by a
governmental authority,temporarily raise or lower its wires to permit the moving of buildings or

which is subject to rights granted by this Permit and said vacation shall be for the purpose of
acquiring the fee or other property interest in said road or right-of-way for the use of the County,

Commissioners may,at its option,and by giving thirty(30)days written notice to the Permittee,
terminate this Permit with reference to such county road right-of-way or other Countyproperty so
vacated, and the County of Mason shall not be liable for any damages or loss to the Permittee by

Introduction
This report summarizes Mason County's 2020 Bridge Program. This program forms an
integrated and comprehensive strategy to maintain and preserve the county's bridges and
road network continuity. The three main goals of the Bridge Program are:
➢ Keep the bridges open and safe for public use.
➢ Preserve the bridge infrastructure by having a formal bridge report for each bridge
which contains: inspection history documentation, condition evaluation, and bridge
summary data used to maximize bridge life span via maintenance and
rehabilitation.
➢ Replace bridges with reliable new structures when repair and/or rehabilitation are
not economical or physically feasible.
This Bridge Report contains additional information concerning the county's bridge system. For
each bridge listed in Appendix A, a report has been submitted to WSDOT for the Washington
State Bridge Inventory Systems.
As required by WAC 136-20-060, each county engineer in Washington State must submit
a written report of findings to the legislative body concerning the county's bridge
inspection effort by June 1 of each year. We have compiled a variety of information in the
annual update of the Bridge Report to serve the 2019 report requirements.
Before adoption of the annual budget, the Board of County Commissioners is required to
adopt a Six-Year Plan for Transportation Improvements. WAC136-20-060 also requires
that the resolution adopting the Six-Year Program state that this engineer's summary with
respect to deficient bridges was available to the Board during preparation of the plan.

8r`1dqe Insioections
Bridge Inspection is performed in accordance with the National Bridge Inspection
Standards (NBIS)to conform to 23 CFR 650.3. The NBIS mandates that public agencies
inspect and report on all bridges, except short span bridges, at least once every two
years. Under these standards, the county is required to document and report the current
condition of each bridge, determine the degree of wear and deterioration, and
recommend repairs or required service.
Mason County Public Works department has been able to inspect and rate each bridge
at a minimum inspection frequency of two years, with certain bridges being inspected
more frequently. .The.more.frequent inspection and evaluation schedule is established
for bridges that are aging, have along maintenance history, or with high environmental
exposure. This-program has served the citizens of Mason County with early identification
of maintenance needs, resulting in economical repair costs.
The inspectors use the NBIS-standards to document the current condition of each bridge
element listed. The deficiencies are coded to NBIS standards and show the degree of
deterioration in'various elements—the three primary elements being:
• deck,
• superstructure, and
• substructure
As deterioration occurs, the coding values drop and repair order forms are.issued to the
maintenance department to conduct the proposed repair. In cases where the coding
factors drop significantly, recommendations are made for repair, replacement, or
rehabilitation by a qualified structural engineer. Bridges with identified deficiencies may
be inspected more often.
Updated inspection results are forwarded to the WSDOT's Highway and Local Programs
Bridge Division, which in turn verifies compliance with the NBIS and reports to the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). A copy of the Inspection Report is kept in the
bridge file at Mason County Public Works.
Mason County Public Works 12021 Annual Bridge Report I Page 7
BddAe Findings
New bridge deficiencies are found during routine inspections each year. Work items are
identified and sent to Mason County Operations & Maintenance group. Some work items are
urgent and are repaired quickly, while others are prioritized lower as longer-term
maintenance items that will help extend the bridge's service life. County Operations &
Maintenance crews concentrate on repairs that will help preserve the service life of the
inventory, with an emphasis on safety.
A total of 33 routine bridge inspections were conducted in 2018-2019, including 1 in depth
inspections utilizing WSDOT's UBIT (Under Bridge Inspection Truck). If the underside of the
bridge deck cannot be given close or adequate inspection from the ground, then a special
inspection using a UBIT is required. During these bridge inspections, inspectors make an in-
depth condition evaluation of the bridge.structure and document any observable defects. In
addition, bridge maintenance crews observe, report, and suggest repairs to bridges.
See our list of special inspections (Exhibit A), for details on inspection frequencies and
schedules for all UBIT, underwater bridge (UW), and fracture critical inspections (FC).

Deficientaes
A measure that helps provide a condition overview of each bridge is a rating factor known as
the Sufficiency Rating (SR). The SR for the entire inventory provides a comparative look at the
health of the bridge inventory from one year to the next. The SR is.a score calculated from a
multitude of ratings the inspector assigns to the bridge, which are based on the condition of the
various components of the bridge. The geometric layout, safety, and importance of the bridge to
the traveling public are also factored into the SR. The SR ranges from zero (a bridge that is
closed and cannot carry traffic loads) to 100 (a new bridge with no deficiencies). The following
chart shows an overview of Mason County's bridge Sufficiency Ratings.

Pasted Bddges is one load restricted bridge in Mason County (Exhibit B). This bridge is posted for load
limits, because the standards it was designed to do not meet standards currently in use. The
remaining five bridges that require restrictions, per resolution, are due to their narrow width. -

Scorer Evaluation
In 1988, federal requirements for bridge inspections were updated to include mandatory scour
evaluations for all bridges that cross water. Scour Evaluations examine bridge abutments and
piers that may be damaged as a result of debris build up or water surging around the structure
- . and eroding foundation-soils.-The purpose of a scour evaluation is to determine the susceptability
of a bridge's foundation to the erosive action of flowing water, excavating and carrying away
material from the bridge foundation. A bridge is considered scour critical if it's foundation is
unknown or determined to be unstable for observed or calculated scour.
The implementation of the mandated scour evaluation program in Washington requires all
agencies responsible for bridges to complete scour evaluations. All bridges designated as scour
critical require a scour Plan of Action. Mason County has 12 bridges that are determined to be
scour critical (Exhibit D). These bridges are monitored during or immediately after high water
events.

Eme[gency repairs & Inspections
No emergency repairs were conducted in 2020.
BrddAe Maintenance Activities
Maintenance and repairs are sometimes necessary to prevent further deterioration of structures
to extend their useful life, and to reduce major repair costs in the future. During bridge
inspections, maintenance needs are identified and documented. Minor bridge repair work is
completed by county road operations and maintenance crews, with major repairs being
completed by contract. Typical annual maintenance includes brush cutting, deck and drain
cleaning, sign repairs, and guardrail repairs. This year, general maintenance was performed by
the leveling of roadway approaches, cleaning decks and drains, brush removal, and crack
sealing.
Completed Bridge Projects
There were no completed projects in 2020.
Current BridAe Projects
There were no current projects in 2020.
Programmed Bridge Projects
Programmed projects are projects that are included in the Six-Year Transportation Improvement
Program. Mason County has no programmed bridge projects at this time. However, the
Transportation Improvement Program Citizens Advisory Panel (TIP-CAP) is considering adding
the Stretch Island Bridge.

Harstine Island - 07996900
This is a 1466 ft long 12 span,concrete structure supported by concrete columns, built in 1969.
This bridge provides the only roadway access to Harstine Island. The island is home to
numerous shellfish operations, residential neighborhoods, 2 state parks, and many acres of
timberland; therefore, it is necessary to move overweight equipment across this structure. The
structure has deck delamination and spalling in the deck and on the columns with rebar
showing.

Decker Creek - 08080600
This is a 26 ft long single span concrete structure supported by steel piles, originally built in
1949 and rebuilt in 1962. The bridge is used regularly to carry overweight truck loads as this
route is a main east and west thorough fare for the timber industry. It was designed to standards
well below current standards. The bridge will be evaluated by a structural engineer to determine
if a retrofit would increase the carrying capacity of the bridge, or if a replacement would be more
beneficial.

Tahuya Estuary- 08033700
This is a 125 ft long 5 span concrete slab bridge supported by concrete piles that was built in
1961. Due to the erosive actions of ebbing and flowing tides, the embankment of the bridge is
eroding away behind the end piles. Work by a contractor is scheduled to begin in 2021 for
installation of sheet pile to protect the abutment fill. Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group
obtained a grant for a feasibility study to replace this bridge, which is began in 2019.

Glossary of Bridge Terminology
Abutment a substructure supporting the end of a single span, or the extreme end of a
multispan super-structure and, in general, retaining or supporting the approach fill.
Backwall—the top-most portion of an abutment functioning primarily as a retaining wall to _
contain approach roadway fill. -
Bent—a supporting unit of the beams of a span made up of one or more column or column -like
members connected at their top-most ends by a cap, strut, or other horizontal member.
Bracing-a system of tension or compression members, or a combination of these, connected-
-to the parts-to be supported or strengthened by a truss or frame. It transfers wind, dynamic,
impact, and vibratory-stresses to the substructure.and gives rigidity throughout the complete - -
assemblage.
Cap—the'horizontally-oriented, top-most piece or member of a bent sewing to distribute the
beam loads upon the columns and to hold the beams in their proper relative positions.
Chord—in a truss, the upper-most and the lower-most longitudinal members, extending the full
length of the truss.
Compression—a type of stress involving pressing together; tends to shorten a member;
opposite of tension.
Culvert—a pipe or small structure used for drainage under a road, railroad or other
embankment. A culvert with a span length greater than 20-feet is included in the National Bridge
Inventory and receives a rating using the NBI scale.
Deck—portion of a bridge that provides direct support for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Elastomeric pads—rectangular pads made of neoprene, found between the substructures
and superstructure, that bears the entire weight of the superstructure. Elastomeric pads can
deform to allow for thermal movements of the superstructure.
Endwall—the wall located directly under each end of a bridge that holds back approach
roadway fill. The endwall is part of the abutment.
Fracture critical member—a member in tension or with a tension element whose failure would
probably cause a portion of or the entire bridge to collapse.
Pier—a structure comprised of stone, concrete, brick, steel, or wood that supports the ends of
the spans of a multi-span superstructure at an intermediate location between abutments. A pier
is usually a solid structure as opposed to a bent, which is usually made up of columns.
Mason County Public Works 12021 Annual Bridge Report I Page 19
71 t..
a.
MENE
Pile—a rod or shaft-like linear member of timber, steel, concrete, or composite materials driven
into the earth to carry structure loads into the soil.
Pinpile—a series of two-inch-diameter pipes driven in a line into the ground to support the
timber planks of a small retaining wall, typically used.to prevent erosion under a bridge
abutment.
- - Plan of-Action—a detailed plan outlining actions needed to be taken by monitoring crews after
a high-water event.
Post or-column—a member resisting compressive stresses, in a vertical or near vertical
position.
-Scour—erosive action of removing streambed material around bridge substructure due to water _
flow. Scour is of particular concern during high-water events.
Short span bridge—these bridges span less than 20 feet.
Soffit—the underside of the bridge deck or sidewalk.
Spall—a concrete deficiency wherein a portion of the concrete surface is popped off from the
main structure due to the expansive forces of corroding steel rebar underneath. This is
especially common on older concrete bridges.
Stringer—a longitudinal beam (less than 30' long) supporting the bridge deck, and in large
bridges, framed into or upon the floor beams.
Sufficiency rating—the sufficiency rating is a numeric value from 100 to 0. The sufficiency
rating is the summation of four calculated values: Structural Adequacy and Safety, Serviceability
and Functional Obsolescence, Essentiality for Public Use, and Special Reductions.
Substructure—the abutment, piers, grillage, or other structure built to support the span or
spans of a bridge superstructure, and distributes all bridge loads to the ground surface. Includes
abutments, piers, bents, and bearings
Superstructure—the entire portion of a bridge structure which primarily receives and supports
traffic loads and in turn transfers the reactions to the bridge substructure; usually consists of the
deck and beams or, in the case of a truss bridge, the entire truss.
Tension—type of stress involving an action which pulls apart.
Trestle—a bridge structure consisting of beam spans supported upon bents. Trestles are
usually made of timber and have numerous diagonal braces, both within each bent and from
bent to bent.
Wingwall—walls that slant outward from the corners of the overall bridge that support roadway
fill of the approach.

Mendoza's Texas Style Food for MCRA sports complex. The contract had the option of
a three-year extension at the COUNTY's sole discretion which was permitted and
extended the contract until March 2020.
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, MCRA was closed for all of the 2020
sporting seasons and no vending was allowed by the Governor's proclamation order.
Mendoza's Texas Style Food requests that the contract be extended for the 2021 and
2022 seasons with the same terms and conditions remaining as originally stated in the
2017 contract of terms.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
Mendoza's will remit 10% of the gross income from the sales of concessions at MCRA
to the COUNTY at the end of the postponed 2021 and 2022 recreational seasons. The
last season worked in 2019 Mendoza"s remitted to the COUNTY approximately
$2,300.00. We have received positive comments from park goers reference Mendoza's
food service.
RECOMMENDED OR REQUESTED ACTION:
Recommend that the COUNTY extends the Mendoza's Texas Style Food contract for an
additional two (2) years, (2021 and 2022 seasons) ending March 2023. Chief Deputy
Prosecutor reviewed this for legality and approved it.

EXTENSION OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH MENDOZA'S TEXAS STYLE FOOD
FOR VENDING SERVICES AT MCRA
Mason County desires to extend the contract with Mendoza's Texas Style Food that was entered
into on March 20, 2017 and extended through March 2020 for vendor services for MCRA.
With COVID-19 Pandemic canceling the 2020 season, MCRA Park was shut down and no vending
services were allowed under the Governor's prelamination.
Once the Governor's resends the band on vending services Mason County would extend the
agreement for the remaining 2021 and 2022 seasons. The extension for this contract will be March
2023.
All provisions of the agreement remain the same.

ITEM: Comparison of ER&R and Motor Pool
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In March of 2020, the Current Expense, Health Services, and
Information Technology Departments began using an outside service for their fleet
management needs and separated service from the internal Equipment, Rental, & Revolving
Fund (ER&R). A 10 year plan was created prior to the separation to show the estimated cost
savings of moving the fleet to an outside lease through Enterprise. The plan has now been
updated to include 2020 Motor Pool actual expenditures and average ER&R actual 2018 &
2019 expenditures of direct/indirect costs by vehicle type: Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV) or
White Fleet (WF). The 2018 &2019 average ER&R expenditure source is the cash
reconciliation that was briefed to the BOCC on March 8m
Included with this analysis is-an explanation of the change in Motor Pool Inventory. There
were 91 vehicles owned by the County Motor Pool beginning in March of 2020. This was the
number of vehicles used in the original 10 year plan since these vehicles were included in
ER&R's inventory. This 91 number has grown to 108, the 17 additions explained:
• 11 outside leases were not included in ER&R's inventory, but have now been
consolidated into the Enterprise lease
•. 1 Sheriff SORT Truck vehicle request for 2022 —the current SORT Truck is a 1997
and was not included in ER&R's inventory
• 5 vehicles that were rented through ER&R's 58 cent/mile program and not included in
ER&R's Current Expense vehicle inventory
The 10 year analysis has been updated to include these 17 vehicles that were previously
excluded.
BUDGET IMPACT: Estimated cost savings of approximately $230k a year
PUBLIC OUTREACH: N/A
RECOMMENDED OR REQUESTED ACTION: Request the Board review the Motor Pool
Inventory, and the updated 10 year plans for PPV and Non-Emergency Response

records and papers of any such person and may take evidence on oath of any person relating to the subject
of inquiry.The oath may be administered by the treasurer or his authorized deputy.

assessment of any tax payable by any person who has failed or refused to make a return, he shall proceed to
determine and assess against such person the tax and penalties provided for by this chapter.To such
assessment the treasurer may add a further penalty of not more than twenty-five percent of the amount of
the tax found by him to be due,which shall be in addition to all other penalties, and may add thereto interest

petition the treasurer in writing for a hearing and correction of the amount of such assessment.The
treasurer shall promptly grant such hearing and fix the time and place thereof and notify the petitioner by
mail. If no such petition is filed within twenty-day period,the assessment covered by such notice shall
become final.
(b) If from any investigation the treasurer finds that a tax has been paid in excess of the amount due,the
treasurer shall issue to the taxpayer a credit note of such excess amount,which credit note shall be
assignable upon approval by the treasurer, and may be received by the treasurer from the holder thereof in
lieu of cash for the payment of tax liability incurred hereunder by such holder and for no other purpose
whatsoever.
(c) Any person, except one who has failed to keep and preserve books and records as hereinafter provided,
having paid any tax, interest or penalty hereunder, and feeling aggrieved by the amount thereof, may appeal
to the superior court of the county within one year after the date of payment thereof for a recovery of the
amount of tax, penalty and interest alleged to have been illegally paid.The appeal shall be perfected by
serving a copy of the notice of appeal upon the treasurer within the time herein provided and by filing the
original thereof with proof of service with the clerk of the superior court for the county.Within ten days after
the filing of notice of such appeal,the taxpayer shall file with the clerk of the court a surety bond payable to
the county in the sum of two hundred dollars, conditioned to diligently prosecute the appeal and pay the
county all costs that may be awarded to it.The trial in the court on the appeal shall be de nova and without
the necessity of any pleading other than the notice of appeal.The burden shall rest upon the taxpayer to
prove that the tax as paid by him is incorrect, either in whole or in part, and to establish the correct amount
of the tax. In such proceeding the taxpayer shall be deemed the plaintiff, and the county the defendant; and
both parties shall be entitled to subpoena and require the attendance of witnesses as in any other civil
action, and to produce evidence that is competent and material to determine the correct amount of the tax.
Either party shall be allowed to appeal to the Supreme Court of the state in the same manner as other civil
actions are appealed to that court. It shall not be necessary for the taxpayer to protest the payment of any
tax or to make any demand to have the same refunded or to petition the treasurer for a hearing in order to
appeal to the courts, as herein provided. No court action or proceeding of any kind shall be maintained by
the taxpayer to recover any tax paid or any part thereof, except as herein provided.
