CAPITAL FACILITIES
Purpose
The Capital Facilities Chapter contains the capital facilities element, one of the six elements
required for Mason C_ounty's Comprehensive Plan under the Growth Management Act (GMA)(36.704'070 RCW) This element provides an inventory of existing conditioñs and publiày
91n99 facilities by quantifying capitalfacilities currently provided by Mason County or bybtherjurisdictions 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" ís an objective
measure of how well services are provided to the public. Deficiencies and improvement needsare identified, improvement costs are estimated, projects are scheduled for six and 21-yearplanning horizons, and a six-year finance plan and possible financing options are discussed.
Besjdeg the City of Shelton, there are other public organizations and special districts that havecapitalfacilities and taxing authority which exist in thé county. These include the school
districts, hospital districts, port districts, cemetery district pubtic Utility Districts, regional librarysystem, and fire districts. These districts have their own governing body and capiial facilitiesplanning. The county coordinated the comprehensive plai with thése bbdies, lrrough meetings,
correspondence, and by providing draft of the comprehensive plan to these districts-for
comment. A list of these districts is provided as follows:

st, 1998 - (updated December 9, 2008)Capital Facilities
Facilitv Needs
A number of methods can be used to determine Mason County's capital facility needs
over the next six and 2O-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 need for the capital facilities.
While the state Growth Management Act requires that level of service (LOS) standards
be established to identify transportation improvements, the need for other cápital
facilities can be assessed using either LOS or planning level assumptions (WnC gOS-
195-315).
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 capitalfacility against
the quantitative LOS standard. The service is considered deiicient 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 fôr sewer
and water facilities.
The less rigorous planning assumptions approach also has advantages. The capital
facilities planning assumptions are not quantitative measures of facifity need. lnstead,
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 facílities might best be handled with this approach.
Financing
Facility needs are identified, and a six-year finance plan is developed, in section Vl-10
for the following County-owned-and-operated facilities.
. Sewer
. Water
. Parks and recreation
. Stormwater
This section also includes the results of facility planning efforts completed by the County
for County administrative buildings, police and criminallustice facilities, and solid waste
facilities. Financing needs and options are included forthese facilities as well. The
section includes by reference the capitalfacilities 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.

Co n c u rren cv Manaq em ent
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 suih growth
occurs, or within a reasonable time aftenryards. This starts with identifying specific
facility needs using the strategies previously discussed. Another importañt 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 ís called, involves a set of land use and permit approval
processes designed to ensure facilities and services keep pace with growth. ln some
cases, development codes could be enacted to require that specific LOS standards be
promulgated through the development of identified improvements.
ln other cases, restrictions to growth may be imposed until appropriate service standards
for capital facilities are achieved. 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 thiJ
arrangement, the final tenant (e.9., homebuyer or building purchaser) would ultimately
pay for the new facilities through a hígher initial purchase price or through a periodic
assessment.
Mason County's policies for concurrency management are contained in the following
section, Vl-2.

VI.2 GOALS AND POLICIES
Introduction
Mason County's Capital Facilities Element is guided by goals and policies for the
preferred service philosophy of the County. Goals and þolicies are required as part of
the Capital Facilities Element (RCW 36.704) of the oveiall 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 andpolicies listed herein are the result of this process. Policies listed uñder Gãneral Capital
Facilities apply to allfacilities addressed in the Capital Facilities Chapter. Facility-
specific policies apply only to those facilities.
Land Use
Manage land use change and develop County facilities and services in a manner that
directs and controls land use patterns and intensities.
Establish urban services that shall require concurrency under the GMA.
Ensure that future development bears a fair share of capital improvement
costs necessitated by the development. The county shall reserve the
right to collect mitigation impact fees from new development in order to
achieve and maintain adopted level of service standards.
Extend facilities and services in a manner consistent with the following
county-wide policies previously adopted in 1gg2 (see section ll-3).
county facilities shall be provided at urban or rural levels of service, as
defined in the capital Facilities Element of the comprehensive plan.
Develop capital facilities within established urban growth areas (uGAs) to
conform to urban development standards.
Develop capitalfacilities within uGAs that are coordinated and phased
through inter-jurisdictional agreements.
c_oordinate and support other capital facility plans from special purpose
districts, cities and towns, and other non-county facility providers that are
consistent with this and other chapters of the comprehensive plan.
As the capital facilities plan is amended to reflect a changing financial
situation or changing priorities, the land use chapter shali be reassessed

systems, transportation facilities, and storm water management facilitiei.
Public facilities needed to support deveropment shall be available
concurrent with the impacts of development or within a reasonable time
thereafter. The county shall establish development regulations that will
establish procedures and requirements to assure that the concurrency
requirements are met.
New development, which has potentiar 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
shall provide evidence of an adequate water supply for the intended use
of the building. Proposed subdivisions and short piats shall not be
approved unless the county makes written findings that adequate
prwlsion for potable water are available for each development site. This
policy shall apply in all areas of the county.
Building permits for any building necessitating wastewater treatment shall
provide evidence of an adequate sanitary sewer system for the intended
use of the building. This policy shall apply in all areas of the county.

Introduction
The County owns and operates small water and sewer systems for the Rusilewood, andBeard's cove communities. ln addition, the county op"åt"r a medium-sizedwastewater collection system and treatment plant for ine North Bay Case lnlet area.This area was deflned through studies of the area contributing numan sewagecontamination to Case lnlet, and the system service area was set accordingly. ln thesmaller community-based systems, there is no planned expansion neyonoînL existingplatted lots. These systems currently provide services to approximatety tZOOcustomers, with the potentialto serve an additional 100. The North Bay Case lnletsystem provides service to approximately 950 customers, with additional capacity toserve an estimated 850 additional equivalent residential units within the existing iervicearea.
The Belfair Water Reclamation facility is under design and is expected to be operationalby late 2010' This Membrane BioReactor plant willireat sewage from more developedareas of the Belfair UGA to Class A reclaimed status. Future sewer extensions andplant upgrades will follow a schedule, which will provide service to the entire Belfair UGAby 2025.
The following "Wate/'and "Wastewated' sections provide project-level detail on theplanned improvements necessary to meet state regulatory gúidelines in the provision ofwater and wastewater services for these systems. Each þro¡ect in each seciion isaccompanied by a separate project sheet, which provides a âescription, and justification,
along with a table depicting the estimated costs and funding sourcès for planñing period2008 through 2013' A summary table that provides overalltosts and tunCing sourcesfor each water and sewer system follows each section.
Financing the planned utility improvements requires the use of grants, loans, utility fees,system development charges, developer contributions, and cap'ítat reserves.' Thespecific combination of funds, and the availability of grants and loans,will affect userrates for each system as well as the timing on pio¡ects. The ability to initiate specificprojects will be assessed annually based ón the llrgency of need, rererue funcisavailable, and commitments from funding agencieJto piovide grants and/or loans.

Chapter Vl
CAPITAL FACILITIES
Purpose
The Capital Facilities Chapter contains the capital facilities element, one of the six elementsrequired for Mason C_ounty's Comprehensive Þlan under the Growth Management Act (GMA)(36'704'070 RCW) This.element provides an inventory oi existing conditio"ns and publiclyowned facilities by quantifying capitalfacilities currently provided 6y Mason County or by otherjurisdictions 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 Cnapter.
The capacity of the county facilities and the level of service they provide is discussed andcompared with the County's desired levels of service. The "levei óf service" is an objectivemeasure of how well services are provided to the public. Deficiencier áno ¡rp.vement needsare identified, improvement costs are estimated, projects are scheduled for six and 2e-yearplanning horizons, and a six-year finance ptan ano p'ossiblã financing options are discussed.
Besides the City of shelton, there are other public organizations and special districts that havecapital facilities and taxing authority which exist in thã county. These include the schooldistricts, hospital districts, port distiicts, cemetery district pubtic Utility oi.irùG, regional librarysystem, and fire districts' These districts have their own governing body ano Ëapitat facilitiesplanning' The county coordinated the com.prehensive plan with thése úJies, tÀrough meetings,correspondgnce, an.d by providing draft of the comprehensive plan to these districts forcomment. A list of these districts is provided as foliows:

Facílitv /Veeds
A number of methods can be used to determine Mason County's capital facility needsover the n'ext six and 2O-year GMA planning periods. As not all capital facilities requirethe same level of analysis to determine needed improvements, diffärent analyticaltechniques can be empfoyed to identify facility neebs as long as they r.rorilirh th"goal of determining future need for the capitai facilities.
While the state Growth l\4anagement Act requires that level of service (LOS) standardsbe established to identify transportation impiovements, the need for otÀer cápitalfacilities can be assessed using either LOS or planning level assumptions 1yynC SOS-195-315).
The advantage of using LOS standards is the ability to quantify deficiencies and identifyimprovement needs. The LOS can also be used að a performance standard forconcurrency by comparing the service level being provided by a capitatfacitity againstthe quantitative LOS standard. The service is co-nsidered deficient if it does not meet theservice level stand_ard that the County has determined it wants to deliver to its residentsand users. The Los approach makes the most sense where there are easil/quantifiable facilities or where the state has defined the standards, such as tór sewerand water facilities.
The less rigorous planning assumptions approach also has advantages. The capitalfacilities planning assumptions are not quantitative measures of faciiíty need. lnstead,they identify facility improvements based upon the need to serve growth anddevelopment anticipated in the land use element. This approach works best whereidentification of quantitative measures would be difficult, *tl"r" there are no statewidestandards, or where.the necessary information or data to apply quantitative ré"rrr",would be difficult or too time-consuming to obtain. Facilities'súch as parks andrecreation and stormwater facilities migit best be handled with this approach.
Financins
Facility needs are identified, and a six-year finance plan is developed, in section Vl-10for the following county-owned-and-operated facirities.
. Sewer
. Water
. Parks and recreation
. Stormwater
This section also includes the results of facility planning efforts completed by the Countyfor County administrative buildings, police aná criminaijustice facilities, ano sòt¡o wastefacilities' Financing needs and options are included foithese facilities as well. Thesection_includes by referenc_e the capital facilities plans for Grapeview, Hood Canal,North Mason, Pioneer, and Shelton School Districis, to facilitate orderiy growth andcoordination in the provision of future capital facility needs.

lntroduction
The County owns and operates small water and sewer systems for the Ruslewood, andBeard's cove communities. ln addition, the county op"r"t"r a medium-sizedwastewater collection system and treatment plant ior ine North Bay Case lntÀt area.This area was defined through studies of the area contributing human rur";g;contamination to Case lnlet, and the system service area was set accordingly. ln thesmaller.community-based systems, there is no planned expansion beyond the exístingplatted lots. These systems currently provide services to approxim atety IZOOcustomers, with the potentialto serve an additional 100. Tlre North Bay Case lnletsystem provides sgryice to approximately g50 customers, with additional cápacity toserve an estimated 850 additional equivalent residential units within the existing servicearea.
The Belfair Water Reclamation facility is under design and is expected to be operationalby late 2010. This Membrane BioReactor plant willlreat sewage from more developedareas of the Belfair UGA to Class A reclaimed status. Future sewer extensions andplant upgrades will follow a schedule, which will provide service to the entire Belfair UGAby 2025.
The following "Wate/' and "Wastewate/' sections provide project-level detail on theplanned improvements necessary to meet state regulatory gúidelines in the provision ofwater and wastewater services for these systems. Each óroiect in each seciion isaccompanied by a separate proJect sheet, which provides a âescription, and justification,
?long with a table depicting the estimated costs and funding sources for planning period2008 through 2013. A summary table that provides overallìosts and runoing sourcesfor each water and sewer system follows each section.
Financing the planned utility improvements requires the use of grants, loans, utility fees,system development charges, developer contributions, and capial reserves.' TÀespecific combination of funds, and the availability of grants and loans,will affect userrates for each system as well as the timing on pio¡ec'is. The ability to'i;it¡ai;;pecificprojects will be assessed annually based ón the urgen.y of need, reserve tundsavailable, and commitments from funding agencieJto piovide grants and/or loans.

Proiect Name: Belfair Household Hazardous Waste Facility lmprovements
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 $6+q0.00 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.

Description: This facility serves the south end of the county by providing residential
drop off of household generated hazardous wastes seven days a week. The volumes of
materials have been increasing annually, and the facility is both outgrowing its current
structure and behind on needed safety improvements. Further, the changes in
regulations in recent years and the near future will necessitate increased capacity.

Description: This facility serves as a hub for all the garbage in Mason County. When
originally constructed in the early 1990's, throughput was a fraction of current ievels. ln
order to safely and efficiently serve the needs of the public and our commercial
accounts, a second access road with a scale is needed. Other minor improvements and
enhancements will be required to maintain the system over the next few years, such as
road work, tip walls, and typical wear and tear.
Justification: over the past 15 years, the number of customers has grown
dramatically, along with tons exported. Steps to improve customer saiety, reduce wait
times, and increase efficiency for commercial customers will allow the taðitity to
postpone majoi construction for this planning period.

VL5 PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES
Svstem 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, ORV use, 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 recreationalfacilities are open to the public as well.
Mason County has adopted a Parks and Recreation Plan in November of 2006 and a
Mason County Regional Trails Plan in March of 2008. Both of these plans are
incorporated here.in by reference.
County Park Facilities
The County currently manages 21 park properties in Mason County two of which are
undeveloped, and three others have large portions that are also undeveloped. Of the
developed parks, two are large baseball/softball complexes, five provide saltwater
access parks, three are located on freshwater lakes, and three provide upland day use
and recreation facilities (see FtcuRE vt.5-1). ln 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) and qrant proceeds
from. the Recreation and Conservation Office. The capital plan for tne nãxt Sx years
continues this trend of investment in park development and facility upgrades. ihe heavy
use and demand from both county and non-County residents are particularly high during
the spring, summer and fall.
ln recent years, parks operated by Mason County have received substantial increases in
visitors. Totalvisits 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.
Sandhill Park received significant improvements in 2006 and use of this park has
continued to grow. Mason County Recreation Area, the largest baseball/softball complex
has grown in use the last several years and is now recognized regionally as a preferied
site for major tournaments. The spike in fuel prices in 2008 and the qlobal recession has
also led to increased park use as people are stayino closer to home to recreate.
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

ADMINISTRATIVE BUI
Sysúem 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 two
buildings on Pine Street, the Mason County Fair/Convention Center, the Public Works
Campus and the Belfair Public Works Shop. TABLE vr.6-1 describes these sites.
Locations of the facilities within the Shelton Campus are shown in ncune u.6-1.
Memorial Hall and the two buildings on Pine Street are 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 Public Works campus is located about 4 miles north of Shelton, on the
northwest side of Highway 101. The Belfair Public Works Shop is situated on the north
shore of Hood Canal about 3 miles from Belfair.
lnventory
Mason County's administrative offices and departments housed in the buildings are
listed in TABLE vl.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-
squareblock section of the downtown area. At this location, the County operates from 23
publicly owned buildings. These include the Courthouse, Jail, Juvenile Detention Facility,
Building l, Building ll, Building lll, Building lV, Buildíng V, Building Vl, Building Vll,
Building Vlll, and Building lX. Other county administrative offices are located at Building
Xl (Cooperative Extension Building), the 3'd & Pine building (the Sheriff Office), the
Public Works campus, 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 2O-year planning horizons. While planning is continuing,
the county has identified the space needs for County administration, law enforcement,
and criminaljustice facilities. Specific planned improvements for the first six-year
planning period and associated financing are detailed in Section V|.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. ln
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 Vl.6-3. Needs analysis and facility
planning was done in 1995 and 1996. The background information ahd analysis can be

Washington State Patrol (WSP) maintains records for all citations and collisions within
Mason County. The Washington State Patrol has notified Sheriff Casey Salisbury that
they will no longer investigate non-injury collisions on County Roads starting July 1,
2009.
According to a Sheriffls Office analysis, the county for the county to take over the traffic
accident investigations on county roads with the associated enforcement component, at least
four deputies will be required. The Washington State Patrol cunently has nine troopers
assigned to Mason County. Approximately 40 percent of all of the collisions in the county
occur on county roads. Additionally, according to WSP statistics, they have been conducting
about 4000 contacts per year with nine troopers on county roads, which accounts for about
40 percent of the total WSP contacts in the entire county. This amount of contacts along with
the collisions investigated takes up over 40 percent of WSP's time.
ln 2006, there were 1,035 collisions in all of Mason County. Of those collisions, 383 resulted
in personal injuries. There were 15 fatalities with 5 of those fatalities occurring on County
Roads. A total of 307 collisions occuned on County Roads. From January 1,2007 to June
15,2007 , WSP has responded to a total of 102 collisions on County Roads. Between 1993
and 2003 Mason County had the 4h highest Drinking Driver lnvolved (DDl) death rate in the
state. Durlng the same time period Mason County had the 6h highest traffic fatality rate in the
state.
Jail Facilities
The Mason County Jail opened in 1986 with a population capacity of 45 inmates. ln
1989, capacity was increased to 51 , and in 1991 it was increased to 58 beds with floor
space for 106. ln 1993 the average dally population (ADP) was 62. \n2004 the ADP
was at 95 - 1460/o over capacity.
The Direct Supervision Unit (DSU) opened on October 1, 2006, bringing the jail capacity
up to 128 inmates. ADP for 2005 was 1 1 1 , ADP for 2006 was 1 19 and ADP for 2007
was 113.7.
Strategic Plan
The Mason County Sheriff's Otfice has no current formalized strategic plan at this time;
however, the creation of a formal strategic plan is currently being considered.

The Mason County Sheriff's Office continues to explore alternative funding sources
including Federal Homeland Security Grants, Justice Assistance Grants, and grants from
other federal, state, and private sources. Additionally the Mason County Sheriff's Office
is committed to forming community partnerships with public and private agencies to
more efficiently provide services and utilize facilities to maximum efficiency.
Overall Facility /Veeds
ln 2008, Foster and Williams conducted a space analysis to be incorporated in the
Mason County Comprehensive Plan. According to this analysis, the Sheriff's Office will
have a space deficit of 10,761by 2012. However, not reflected in that analysis is the
County's acquisition of a building located at 3'd & Pine in Shelton. lt is anticipated that
the Sheriff's Office will moving from its current location into the 3'd & Pine building
alleviating many of the department's spacing needs.
Space Allocation Criteria
Standard space allocations methods do not apply to all areas of the Sheriffs Office
because of the diverse functions found within the department such as training, locker
rooms, K-9 holding, briefing room, interview rooms, public receptions, fingerprinting,
criminal complaints, evidence processing and others. Space for many of the above
mission essentialfunctions does not exist. Please note that full time work stations are
not required for each patrolman. However, four to six work stations for patrol are
currently required.
Súorage Â/eeds
Ïhe most important need of the Sheriffs Office is that of evidence storage. Property
taken in by the Sheriff's Office, whether it's contraband, found property, stolen property,
or safekeeping is held in trust by the Sheriffls Office. Therefore the Sheriff is responsible
for its security, preservation, chain of custody as well as its return, sale or disposal in the
same condition it was when we acquired it according to law. Currently evidence is
stored in a vault in the basement of the courthouse, on the third floor of the courthouse
and in buildings and containers at the impound yard at the county shop. Space allotted
for evidence storage space is currently 2908 square feet. lt is estimated Sheriff's Office
evidence storage should be about 6000 square feet. This would allow for enough space
to properly store and process evidence and should take care of evidence storage needs
for at least the next 10 years. That space needs to include an 800 square ft space that
is heated and well lit for indoor vehicle processing. The evidence storage facility ideally
would be all in one location to eliminate the need for transportation to remote locations
for storage.
Additionally the Mason County Sheriff's Office must have covered storage for it's three
boats, two personal watercrafts, light armored vehicle, ATV, skid car and trailer along
with spare vehicles. Additional secure storage is needed for other training equipment,
tactical equipment and ordinance that is not routinely issued to officers and needs to be
in a secure location.

Facilities Steering Committee and CriminalJustice 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 capitalfacility projects. Space needs are not determined
by a simple set of standards but by a comprehensive approach to the criminaljustice systems
program needs. The projected cost of this plan and potential funding sources are incorporated

VI.8 STO RMWATER MANAG EM ENT
Svstem Description
Existing stormwater facilities in Mason County include both natural systems and built collection
and conveyance. Existing systems generally handle runoff from State and County Roads and
existing development. Run-off control is limited to new construction which is managed through
requirements in 1992 Ecology Stormwater Manual. More stringent control is proposed for the
Ce$€+rÅA{+yn-Urban Growth areas and the Hoodsport RuralActivity Center by implementing the
2005 Ecology Stormwater Manual and Low-lmpact Development techniques.
lncreases in the amount of residential and commercial impervious surfaces have increased
stormwater runoff in the county. ln addition, forestry practices, such as logging, and new road
construction, have also increase runoff and created sedimentation problems in a number of the
county's creeks and streams resulting in diminished water quality and loss of critical aquatic
habitat. Stormwater runoff, erosion, sedimentation, habitat loss and flooding problems will likely
continue in the County especially in the designated urban growth areas if strong control
measures are not implanted.
lnventoru
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. Their master
plan identifies existing problems in the city and offers recommendations for improvements. The
city has scheduled improvements based on the existing master plan; the city intends to update
the plan before 2013.
The county is in the process of adopting stormwater plans for the Belfair/Allyn Urban Growth
Area, and the Hoodsport RuralActivity Center. A more general plan for the entire county is
expected to be developed in 2009. The specific plans and the more general countywide plan will
set the stage for the development of a utility that will implement programmatic and capital
improvement þrojects to manage strormwater. Activities willfocus on addressing flooding in the
county, improving the water quality in South Puget Sound and protecting critical aquatic habitat.
Strormwater programs and capital improvements will be lunched through direct developer
contributions as new development occurs; grants and loans; a dedicated portion of the Real
Estate Excise Tax (REET 2) collected by the county; and utility fees.
Facilitv Needs
Mason County continues the development of a comprehensive countywide Stormwater
Management Plan. This planning process focuses on a review of existing stormwater policies
and the County's stormwater regulations. ln addition, a review for regulatory consistency with
vt-Ù2
I) n2 nolLal,m)
Mason County Comprehensive Plan
August, 1998 - (updated December 9, 2008, December I 2009) Capital Facilities
the County's Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) and Low lmpact Development (LlD) Standards will
be completed. The plan addresses changing state, federal, and regional regulatory
requirements. This includes the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Phase ll permit program of the Clean Water Act. This act controls water pollution by regulating
point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the state. Also, the plan will consider
implementation of the 2005-2007 Puget Sound Conservation Plan as well as consider the
adoption of the Department of Ecology (DOE) 2005 Stormwater Design Manual for Western
Washington in areas of the County beyond the designated Urban Growth Areas. The plan will
address evolving water quality needs affecting Hood Canal and South Puget Sound. Also the
plan will delineate program objectives and capital facility needs and identify funding sources to
implement required action elements.
The County will begin community environmental education and training activities in the Belfair,
Allyn, Shelton and Hoodsport areas. This program will expand to other areas of sensitive water
quality in 2009 I 2010 and continuing throughout the county in later years.
The identification of capital projects to address both regional strormwater problems and the
need to retrofit existing development will complete during the planning process. Strormwater
planning in the urban growth areas and water quality monitoring by the County's Environmental
Health Section have identified needed capital projects. These projects will be address from
revenues secured from grants provided by the state. Revenues generated by the utility will fund
future capital facilities.
Flooding problems in the Skokomish River watershed have been addressed in a
Comprehensive Flood Hazard Management Plan. This plan defines a total program of river

VI.g PUBLIC WORKS FACILITIES
lntroduction
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
Shelton campus, the Central Shop on Johns Prairie Road and the Belfair Shop.
Building 8, located on the Shelton campus, includes administrative services, accounting
services, environmentalservices, engineering and construction services and geographic
information services. The lnformation Services Section of Equipment Rental & Revolving Fund
(ER&R) is located a block away in Building 9. Road Maintenance and the Vehicle Maintenance
Section 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.
Public Works has outgrown the Shelton campus facilities. The buildings located at the central
shop are over S0-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 - 1ç%. Each project cost sheet
identifies the accuracy of the estimated costs shown, based on the followíng 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 -30o/o. 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 -15o/o. These
estimates are based on a project design or significant completion of design work.

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.

W. 10 FINANCE PLAN
lntroduction
This section discusses Mason County capitalfacilities needs and related funding sources. As
required under the Growth Management Act (GMA) a six-year finance plan has been prepared
for the years Zgg$ælgto at leaðt the year æ4+201L foithose facilities currently, or to be, I
owned and operated by the County.
The following facilities are included in the financial planning:
. Water and Wastewater Systems
(Appendix C)
. Solid Waste Management Facilities
. Gounty Administrative and Law Enforcement Buildings
. Public Works Facilities
. Parks and Recreation
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 æ44U3. Funding var¡es depending on the facility. The different I
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 lmpact Overuiew
The financial impact for capitalfacility improvements have been analyzedfor the six year
planning period. lnformation 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

Water and Wastewater Svstems
The County owns and operates water utilities in the Belfair and Rustlewood areas. The County
also operates water treatment facilities for Rustlewood and Beard's Cove. There is no expected
expansion in any of the service utility areas with the exception fo¡ the Belfair sewer. A 20 year
plan has been developed for sewer expansion to serve the entire Belfair Urban Growth Area. A
financial plan and rate structure has been developed to accommodate this growth. The Belfair
Sewer Finance and Rate Forecast, Facility Expansion Map, and Phasing Program Map are
incorporated into this Chapter as Appendix A.

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. The total cost for these improvements
are expected to be approximately $t 0.6 million (see Section Vl-S).
Stormwater Management
Mason County created a stormwater utility in 2008. The initial emphasis for Stormwater
management will be placed on the Belfair/Allyn area. The utility outlines future expansion to
other areas of the County with the whole county being included within the boundaries fo the
utility by 2013. the County also adopted the 2005 Department of Ecology Stormwater Drainage
Manual and Low lmpact Development Standards which will be enforced in the Belfair and Allyn
UGAs first with the entire county being subjected to the requirements as water quality
monitoring dictates. The following tables outline expected Capital projects in the stormwaterutilityin@ I

MNSOru GoururY - BELFAIR Sewen¡NG PRoJEcT
Fr¡¡nrucrAl AND Rnre Fonecnsr - July 8, 2008
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide a current financial forecast for the Belfair sewer
project, to support the County's efforts to receive GMA approval for the project.
A financial forecast was prepared with the Wastewater Management Plan. Since completion
of that document there have been significant changes to financial assumptions including
additional service areas, updated capital costs, and additional secured grants.
The County has existing sewer utilities with policies in place to support fiscally and financially
prudent operation of those entities. This forecast presents a rate forecast that modifies some
of those policy assumptions where it may bring the rate closer to an "affordable" range.
Doing so may bring on financial risk, and so two forecast scenarios are presented here: a
"conservative" scenario and an "affordability" scenario. ln the conservative scenario, the
County's current policies continue to be used in the Belfair area.ln the affordability scenario,
the County uses all policy options to make the rates as affordable as possible in the initial
years.
Data Sources and Assumptions
The capital financing analysis uses capital costs, project timing, and capital inflation rate as
projected and provided by CH2M Hill. Also províded were existing ERUs and new annual
connections, projected O&M costs and estimated timing of capital spending. Each set of data
was provided for four different phases including 1. lnitial Connection (this is the Core Service
area evaluated in the Master Plan), 2. Old Belfair Hwy Connection, 3. New Kirk Road
Connection and 4. Southern Connection.
At the time of the forecast presented in the Master Plan, the County had secured $16 million
in grants and $2.4 million in state loans (SRF). The County has since secured a total of $24
million in grants and has $3 million of state loans available.
The forecast period includes 2008 through 2025. However, actual 2007 costs are included in
the summary and financing analysis in order to consider total costs and total resources for
the project.

The capital costs for the lnitial Connection are projected 2007 through 2010, wíth year 1 of
operation, 2011. Thís includes treatment plant costs for enough capacity to serve the four
identified serv¡ce areas (at the projected rate of growth), as well as the infrastructure planned
to serve the lnitial Connection service area.
Capital costs to build infrastructure to connect customers in the Old Belfair Hwy Connection
are planned for 2014 through 2016 with first year of operation targeted for 2017 .
The New Kirk Road connection is projected to begin service in 2020 with capital spending in
the two years preceding, and the Southern Connection in 2025 after infrastructure is built in
2024.
Gustomer Base
The customer base is defined in Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs), and it is projected to
grow at 5o/o annually. The Sewer Master Plan completed in 2007 forecasted growth at about
9% annually, though, the financial projections in that plan also used the more conseruative
rate of 5% annually.
The customer base is defined with two types of service connections: existing and new. The
analysis distinguishes between developed properties with exísting permitted septic systems
(as of Jan 1 2008) and new connections since the sewer project has begun.
The following table summarizes the annual ERU projection used in the forecast.

total $802,226.
Gapital Facilities Charge - GFC (conversion/connection charges)
Calculatíon of a connection charge for the Belfair sewering project considers total project
costs, 2025 customer base, secured grants toward fundíng the identified capital costs and
reduction of unit costs to customers paying a ULID to fund a portion of their capital costs.
Separate charges are calculated for conversions (existing development) and new
development. ln order to distinguish the separate charges, the connection charge for existing
development is referred to as a "conversion charge," while the charge for new development
continues to be referred to as a "connection charge."
The charges are calculated as three separate components of the total. One reason is so that
if a developer chooses to build and finance particular infrastructure ahead of the County
doing so, there is a clear dollar amount per ERU of credits that they may receive toward their
connection charge, based on the type of project they are building and for how many ERU
units. Another is to properly reflect the Old Belfair Hwy Connection ULID contribution and
adjust their connection.charge accordingly. And finally, it is done to provide an opportunity
for existing development (as defined in the ERU section) to benefit from available grants
toward reduction of their treatment unit cost.
The total unit cost before adjustments is about $30,000 per ERU (using the number of ERUs
V1.98
12.t3.tgw
Mason County Comprehensive Plan
August, 1998 - (updated December 9, 2008. December 8 2009)Capital Facilities
projected in 2025).
The ULID-funded projects (in the Old Belfair Hwy Connection service area) are then
deducted from the cost total. The ERU basis is also adjusted to recognize ERUs served by
the ULI D-funded projects.
The number of ERUs served by the identified treatment costs through 2025 total 1,783.
ERUs served by the trunk and collection costs after removing the Old Belfair Hwy Connection
portion total 1 ,413.
Capital Financing
As discussed in the Master Plan, utility formation requires consideration of unique cash flow
constraints. An existing utility has an existing revenue stream and some level of cash
reserves to support capital financing and debt repayment. ln the case of a new utility, capital
costs will be incurred preceding a revenue stream from a rate-paying customer base. Even
use of grant funds requires approximately 60 days of financing since funds are dispersed on
a reimbursement basis. The capital financing analysis developed for this rate projection uses
a mix of the County's funding and financing options to complete 2007 through 2010 capital
spending preceding connection of customer base.
The capital financing analysis considers use of the lowest cost funding options first and
balances the totalfinancing need with those that have a greater rate impact. The financing
priority is as follows; 1. Secured grants (CTED), 2. Secured state loans (SRF), 3.
Accumulated cash reserves [from CFCs or projected Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) funds]
and 4. Revenue bonds.
An exception to this priority list is that the County is planning to fund the Old Belfair Hwy
Connection trunk and collection line costs with a ULID. The County would borrow funds to
finance those costs, and they would be repaid through property assessments within the
service area boundary.
ln order to have funds available to finance the first 60 days of grant use, a combination of
SRF and grant use is projected to fund capital costs for each of the four years of capital
spending. Because SRF repayment begins the fiscal year after the first draw, debt service
obligations are projected begin ahead of year one of operation and therefore require another
County resource for repayment. The County has pledged $200,000 annually of REET
monies from the General Fund beginning in 2009 to help fund the project. These funds allow
the County to make SRF payments that are due ahead of the 2011 first year of operation.
Without the REET funds, the County would not be able to utilize all lowest cost financing
options first, but rather would need to issue revenue bonds and capitalize the interest for the
period preceding utility revenue collection.
Revenue bonds are needed to balance the net financing need after use of all available
grants, state loans and any available cash reserves. Revenue bonds not only affect rates
through debt repayment obligation, but also carry a security requirement, bond coverage.
Bond coverage defines an annual minimum level of revenue the utility must collect. The
coverage factor is a factor applied to the utility's revenue bond payment in each year of

repayment. lt requires revenues be sufficient to make the bond repayment as well as an
additional percentage of that amount. For example a bond coverage factor of 1.25 requires
that rate revenue (along wíth any other eligible revenues) be sufficient to fund annual
operating and maintenance expenses plus 125o/o of the revenue bond payment. Coverage
will be discussed further with the rate projections.

'Old Beffa¡r HW Connect¡on ællect¡a
The County is planning on a ULID to fínance the Old Belfair Hwy Connection infrastructure
costs, planned for 2014 through 2016, totaling $9,570,000 in current dollars and $15,930,949
in projected future dollars. The County would issue debt for the projected $16 million total
and repayment would occur through annual assessment revenue collected from the Old
Belfair Hwy Connection properties.
Secured grant funds are used from 2007 through 2010, totaling $24 million. SRF loan
proceeds are projected to. be spent from 2008 through 2010. The balance of capital fínancing
needed forthe lnitial Connection period is $15,312,100. This consísts of a projected $11.8
million in conventional municipal revenue bonds and $3.5 million of short-term financing.
The purpose of the short-term financing is to allow the County to use CFC revenue from
conversions and new connections in 2011 to reduce the rate burden from debt repayment.
Based on results of the connection charge analysis, an expected $4.1 million of CFC revenue
is anticipated to be collected in 201 1. Of that, $400,000 is planned to support existing annual
debt service obligations, leaving $3.7 million available for project costs. Since capital
financing is completed before customers connect, it is assumed the County could secure
short-term financing for what could be repaid with the net available 2011 CFC revenue. This
reduces the debt repayment obligation from rates.
On July 5, 2008, the 2-year municipal bond yield was 2.75o/o. Assuming this interest rate and
a 0.5% issuance cost, the County could realize debt reduction of $3.5 million by using the
$3.7 million o12011 CFC revenue.

The above capitalfinancing summary represents a rate scenario in which some level of
available capital funds are used directly for debt repayment for rate relief, rather than
reserved and available for cash-funding capital. The most conservative scenario does not
consider capital revenues for debt repayment (with the exception of the short-term financing).
They are reserved in the Capital Fund and used to cash-fund future projects, which would
reduce the need for future revenue bonds.
The following table shows the capital financing summary for the more conservative forecast,
in which capital revenues are not utilized for debt repayment and are reserved in the Capital
Fund to cash-fund future projects.

The result is that no additional revenue bond borrowing is required after the lnitial Connection
financing and $15 million of capital reserves fund the remainder of projected capital costs
(with the exception of the ULID).
Revenue
There are four types of revenue considered to meet annual cash obligations. These include
revenue from rates, interest earnings on the operating fund, and use of REET funds and CFC
revenue toward debt repayment. In order to provide the greatest level of rate relief, a
scenario is provided that uses 100o/o of REET funds and $400,000 per year of CFC revenue
(which represents about 70o/o of total CFC revenue initially, going to under 20%by 2025)
toward annual debt repayment. The conservative alternative ís that REET funds are used
only for debt repayment that precedes utility operation. ln the remainder of the forecast,
REET funds are reserved for cash-funding future capital. CFC revenue is also reserved for
cash-funding future capital rather than supporting annual debt repayment obligations.
REET funds and CFC revenue are also consídered in the coverage calculation. The
County's bond counsel has indicated that dedicated REET funds would be an eligible
revenue for the coverage calculation and that the County could specifically write them in to a
bond covenant as an eligible revenue source. The risk is the potential that the County will not
collect sufficient REET funds to make the full $200,000 support to the utility in a given year.
Similarly, due to the variable nature of revenue collection from CFCs, which are also subject
to economic conditions, there is risk associated with including CFCs in the coverage
calculation as eligible revenue. Typically, coverage is tested at a higher factor when
including CFCs.
The two scenarios vary in coverage calculation in that the conservative scenario tests
'coverage at a 1.25 factor and excludes REET funds and CFCs as eligible revenues and the
scenario that targets affordability includes REET funds and75o/o (an element of conservatism
within this scenario) of annual CFC revenue, though tests at a higher coverage factor of 1.50
The higher rate revenue need of the total cash and total coverage obligations becomes the
basis for setting rates. Coverage is the driving factor in most years before the second service
area begins operation. The total rate obligation, divided by the total ERUs in each year
results in a monthly unit cost per ERU. Because this amount varies annually and typically
trends down with ERU growth, operating reserves are managed to set a single rate for

periods within the forecast.
Sewer Connection Zone Characterization
I nitial Connection Zone:
The area consists of scattered residential and the "core" commercial corridor for the Belfair
community. A majority of the commercial development is underutilized because of little organized
infrastructure, especially sewers. The area is the most problematic for the contribution of-pollutants to
Hood Canal. The County has secured funds to construct a collection system and a Membrane
BioReactor (MBR) treatment facility to serve the area along State Rouie # 3 which transverses the
length of Belfair. Following the construction and commissioning of the NBR treatment plant all
properties within 500 feet of the initial sewers lines will be required to connect to the Belfair sewer
system. All on-site expenses incurred for connection will be borne by the property owner. Once
connection occurs a monthly utility rate will be collected from each property.
Old Belfair Highway Connection:
The area is a larger urban density residential community north of the Belfair "core" commercial
corridor. Many of the owner occupied structures are pre-and early posts World War ll stock. The
structures use on-site systems as their method of sewage disposal, Because of older on-site systems,
denser development patterns and high ground water tables the area likely contributing nitrates and
fecal contamination to the canal. The area ís low-to moderate income and financing lãrge sewer
improvements will be difficult without Federal and state assistance. The county willielay on grants
and loans and County supported Utility Local lmprovement Districts (ULID) to develop éeweis in the
area.
Newkirk Road Connection Zone:
The area, is divided into two sectors. The area to the north is vacant, larger parcels held by four
developers. lt is planned and zoned for commercial and industrial development. The areaio the
south is comprised of vacant properties still in large parcels with a single owner. The land is planned
and zoned for higher destiny residential development. There is current demand for the development of
the northern area. The development of the sewer collection system to serve the northern area will
occur as the MBR plant is developed at developer expense. The southern area will remain in large
tracts until near the end of the UGA planning period.
Southern Connection:
The area is the most difficult to develop because of environmental constraints. There is some
scattered low-density residential development but most of the land remains in large undeveloped
tracts. Portions of the area will be impacted by the development of the Belfair by-þass. The properties
will remain vacant until the later years of the planning period.
