4.3 Cheryl Haywood presented the State of the Library.
4.4 Mark Neary shared the Planning Advisory Commission Vacancy News Release.
5. Open Forum for Citizen Input
Lesa Renfro asked about the formula used for growth management and the percentage rate of 75%
growth being unincorporated. If the other formula is used,based upon Mason County population,
will the growth needed be met by the 2025 deadline to qualify for compliance for 2026? It seems
like 122 new growths per year is needed. Will the new apartment complexes justify going to
Phase 2 of the Belfair sewer extension?
Larry King commented that,when housing is developed,there are many costs—roads,schools,
police,fire department,etc.—developers are normally charged per housing unit. However,in this
case,the County Commissioners did not charge them even though the developers would add the
cost to the house or apartment. Now he,and the rest of the Mason County residents,have to pay.
The Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)needs to be reversed and the developers charged.
Ken VanBuskirk reiterated his opinion,as well as the opinion of many others in North Mason,
that it is vitally important to the entire community that the Freight Corridor be complete and
operational before Phase 2 of the widening project starts. There have been recent developments
in the Port of Allyn Sweetwater property that the County should be aware of. Ken recommends
the Commissioners watch the March 7,2022 Port of Allyn meeting.
Jean Bray asked what the process for deaccession is for the Timberland Regional Library. There
were a couple items that used to formally be in the library's collection that are no longer there and
it is hard to obtain books that are out of print due to transportation costs and complexities. Jean
would like the library to retain more books.
Greg Sypnicki brought forward that the design to go over Mr. Overton's property,regarding the
Belfair sewer extension,has been oversized to accommodate future expansion. While it is unfair
for the County to take on the debt for the sewer extension, it is also unfair for Mr.Overton to pay
for the oversize. Maybe there is a compromise where people from the County can negotiate and
find a fair solution. The correction language for the scope of work and how the loan is paid is a
good thing. However,there is still disagreement in the community on who pays for what. If a
solution can be found over the next three weeks the community would appreciate that.

3 1 9 1 7-22-9 1 044 by direct negotiation and without public offering to the previous owners.
Offering prices may be established by appraisal,tax assessment,or as is otherwise
recommended by the Assessor's Office and final selling prices are to be approved by the
Commissioners. Staff Mike Collins(Exhibit E,Resolution No.2022-021)
Mike shared that Public Works acquired the right-of-way easements in 2011 for County Road
Project(CRP) 1861 Simmons Road Safety Improvement. The project was to construct a road
east of and parallel to US Highway 101 between Lynch Road and Old Olympic Highway to
reduce conflict and accidents at that intersection. The State came up with their own lower cost
solution for acceleration and deceleration lanes so the CRP was cancelled. The owners of the
above tax parcels reached out to the County to reacquire the the right-of-way for development
purposes. Public Works has no real use to retain the right-of-way and recommends to surplus.
Cmmr.Neatherlin/Trask moved and seconded to approve the Resolution authorizing the
Property Manager to offer the surplus of the County right-of-way easements along tax
parcels no.31917-22-91043 and 31917-22-91044 by direct negotiation and without public

EXHIBIT"A"
COUNTY HELD REGISTERED WARRANTS
Policy and Procedures
Updated March 1, 2022
Whereas,the Mason County Investment Policy makes provision for investing in
registered warrants, it is therefore prudent to set out the following Policy and Procedures:
The Treasurer's Office will set a limit on the amount to be registered by each district
based on the needs of taxing districts. The Treasurer will notify the Finance Committee via email
or other communication within 24 hours when the amount of registered warrants exceeds
$1,000,000.00 at any given time. The Treasurer will report to the Finance Committee at least
quarterly the amount of registered warrants held as investments by the county.
Registered Warrants will be held for 30 days from the date of issuance. The Treasurer
has the authority to extend the 30 day redemption requirement only after reviewing such
circumstances as laid out in writing by the county department/district and such extension meets
the investment objectives of the county investment policy. The Treasurer will notify the
Finance Committee via email or other communication within 24 hours if the Treasurer has
extended the 30 day redemption requirement.
All districts and county departments may participate—based on individual approval and
available registered warrant investment balance.
School districts should consider whether it is feasible to take an advance on their monthly
apportionment. School Districts should contact the ESD before registering warrants
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issuing Registered Warrant Process
1. The district or county department issues a signed"Letter of Understanding for the Issuance
of Registered Warrants and Promissory Note"to the county treasurer. Said Letter of
Understanding must be signed by the District Board Chair or authorized representative.
2. Verify with the State Pool (LIGP)for the current interest rate and add 2%for the registered
interest rate.
3. Write that interest rate on the"Letter of Understanding for the Issuance of Registered
Warrants and Promissory Note".
4. Write a treasurer's check payable to the county treasurer and receipt using their transmittal
form containing the fund and BARS#391.60,Anticipation Notes/Warrants. This is like an
investment check, so in the description box in the checkbook it should say"TDC Registered
Warrant Investment". This is not a remittance.
5. Create an entry in the investment ledger(i.e.: Registered Warrants).
a. Enter in the Quickbooks Chart of accounts&MUNIS for TDC. There is a separate
account number.
b. Enter on the front of the cash sheet, as a deposit in"TDC Registered Warrants"line.
c. Enter the investment information in the Registered Warrant Ledger(J Drive—
Investment Folder).
d. On the office calendar—at least one day prior to redemption date (28—29 days from
date of issuance)—note that Registered Warrant and Promissory Note needs to be
redeemed on specified date(30 days from issuance.
Redeeming Registered Warrant Process
6. Calculate the interest to be paid based on the Bank Method: "The annual interest rate will be
computed on a 365/360 basis;this is,by applying the ration of the annual interest rate over a
year of 360 days,multiplied by the outstanding warrant amount,multiplied by the actual
number of days the registered warrant is outstanding
7. On the"Letter of Understanding"write the date of payment and"PAID" give a copy to the
district or department. Original should be filed in the"Registered Warrants"file,in the
Investment file cabinet.
8. For taxing districts create a miscellaneous receipt and remit the matured registered warrant
amount and interest due from the districts appropriate fund. Write a Treasurer's check for the
matured registered warrant amount and interest create a miscellaneous receipt for the interest
only and deposit to the Treasurer's Current Expense Fund—BARS 361-10. (see#10 below
"Mature the Investment")and enter on the cash sheet under"Interest"with the notation of
Registered Warrant Interest and the district name. This is a remittance process,but a
disbursement on the cash sheet.
9. a)For county departments,using the county payment remittance process, send a remittance
request to the Auditor's Office. Upon approval create a miscellaneous receipt and remit the
interest due from the appropriate county fund to the Treasurer's Current Expense—BARS
361-10 (this will be a zero receipt).
b)For county departments, create invoice for interest using J/Registered Warrants/
Registered Warrant Interest Invoice. Then create the Payment Remittance form in
J/Registered Warrants/Payment Remittance and follow procedure as noted on the payment
remittance form. May need to have 48 hour advance notice waived.
10. Mature the investment:
a. Enter on the front of the cash sheet for the matured investment.
b. Enter on the back of the cash sheet as a deposit.
c. Enter in the checkbook
d. Mature the investment in the QuickBooks Chart of Accounts, MUNIS and the
Registered Warrant Ledger(J Drive—Investment Folder).
11. If the registered warrant is redeemed early enter"PAID and the date"under the original
entry following the process as listed above.
12. If a new registered warrant investment is done enter that under the new projected maturity
date.
If the district or county department wishes to stay on registered warrants they will need to go
through this whole process again. There is no rollover of this type of investment unless
approved by the Treasurer. Call and reissue at a higher amount.
Approved this 1 st day of,March, 2022.
