Item:
Bringing back the request to amend the Parks & Trails Field Use Fees.
Background/Executive Summary:
At the October 3 briefing a resolution was brought forward for the 2023 Field Use Fees using the current
Fees and Charges Policy for the Parks & Trails Department, Section IV, which states the fees will be
adjusted annually by using the Seattle Consumer Price (CPI) Index. The 2023 increase would be 10.1%.
The Commissioners asked for options and after reviewing other County department rate setting policies,
staff is recommending the Parks Fee policy be changed to allow for an annual adjustment using the
Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue CPI-U (Consumer Price Index – Urban) August to August with a minimum
annual increase of 2% and a maximum annual increase of 5% or 7%. The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue CPI-
U for August 2022 is 9%. Below are the field use fees with a 5% and 7% increase.

Item:
Approval to place an order for four Police Interceptor Utility vehicles to replace two canceled Police
Interceptor Utility vehicles & two canceled Tahoe Canine vehicles and update the 2023 Sheriff’s Office
Motor Pool vehicle rates
Background/Executive Summary:
The Board of County Commissioners approved the order of three replacement PPVs (Police Pursuit
Vehicle) on July 5th consisting of one Police Interceptor Utility vehicle and two Tahoe Canine vehicles,
and one more PPV on October 11th to include a Police Interceptor Utility vehicle to replace wrecked
vehicle #73. Enterprise recently notified the County that these four vehicle orders have been canceled by
the factory due to the high volume of orders and small quantity of our order. The other option for the
County is to order these four vehicles through a dealership at a higher cost. The PPV Tahoe vehicles are
not currently available through a dealership and the MCSO has determined that two Interceptors in place
of two Tahoes may be utilized as canine vehicles.
For general vehicle order supply, Enterprise expects inventory to become more available with rising
interest rates in the next few months. With the PPVs it is not the same. The vehicles are so scarce and
special order that most dealers don’t place regular orders so the same supply challenges will continue on
longer than for regular vehicle orders. Taking this into consideration we would ask the Board to consider
approval of ordering now the vehicles for any new Sheriff Deputy positions approved during the 2023
budget process.
Budget Impact (amount, funding source, budget amendment):
The estimate received from Enterprise at this time is $51,970 per Police Interceptor Utility. The original
quote received for the Interceptors was $45,290 each and the Tahoes were quoted at $53,898 each. The
total 2023 budget impact for the order change is estimated at $7,885 through the County’s 4 year lease
program.

per week but no more than forty (40) hours per week in a regularly budgeted, on-going
position. Regular Part-Time employees are eligible to receive the standard benefit package,
prorated to match the FTE percentage and adjusted by actual hours worked. Medical
benefits are consistent with Article 17.1.
7.2.3 TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES:
A temporary employee is hired for a specific assignment or project that has a duration of
employment and schedule that is anticipated to work one thousand and forty (1,040) hours
or more in a twelve (12) month period.
A temporary employee is eligible for the standard benefits package, prorated to match the
anticipated FTE percentage and adjusted by actual hours worked. Medical benefits are
consistent with Article 17.1 if Part-Time Temporary.
If a regular employee accepts an assignment of a temporary position, that employee will be
eligible for return rights to their former position upon completion of the specific assignment
or term of the temporary employment or upon twenty (20) calendar days’ notice from the
Employer or thirty (30) calendar days’ notice from the employee, whichever is earlier. The
regular employee shall continue to earn seniority as to their former position during the period
of the temporary position assignment. Any new-hire employee who is hired to fill the
vacancy, which was created by the regular employee accepting a temporary position, will
also be hired as a temporary employee and that employee will cease to have employment
rights upon the return of the regular employee to the former position.
Employees in temporary positions serve an anticipated, but not guaranteed term. While a
term of employment is anticipated, the assignment/project may be terminated at any time for

Operating Engineers/Teamsters and Mason County 2022-2025 Public Works Collective Bargaining Agreement
Page 12
ARTICLE 8 – HOURS OF WORK AND OVERTIME
8.1 WORKDAY/WORKWEEK
The workweek shall normally consist of five (5) workdays within a seven (7) consecutive day period
beginning Sunday at 12:00 am through Saturday 11:59 pm. The assignment of workdays and work
schedules shall be determined by the Employer in order to meet business and customer service
needs or in response to budgetary demands.
8.2 WORK SCHEDULES
Where a single shift is worked, eight (8) hours of continuous employment, except for lunch periods,
shall constitute a day's work; time to start when employee arrives at normally assigned shop in
response to County’s orders. Five (5) days, 7:00 am Monday to 3:30 pm Friday, shall normally
constitute a week's work.
A guarantee of four (4) hours' pay shall be paid to any employee who reports to work on a work
day, but not put to work.
Changes in work schedule, may include changes in the schedule or total hours.
Management shall reserve the right to modify the daily schedule of the Roads, Fleet and Sign
Shop personnel to ensure coverage of County needs beyond those of the Road Department itself.
In an emergency identified by the Public Works Director or designee, management may implement
a 12-hour, two-shift operation (12:00pm to 12:00am and 12:00am to 12:00pm). When the County
implements such two-shift 24-hour operation, all bargaining unit employees shall be compensated
at the double-time rate of pay for all overtime hours. Employees will be given as much notice as
possible to adjust to the change in hours going into and coming out of the revised work hours.
Employees working their normal schedule during the term of an emergency will not be paid the
double-time rate for overtime hours while working their regularly scheduled hours. However,
subject to supervisory approval, employees may flex their schedule to avoid the necessity of using
vacation accruals when transitioning into work status and coming out of revised work hours and
returning to their normal schedule. This section shall supersede any other potential conflicting
language in this Agreement.
Bargaining Note: Comp time can be earned at their double time rate via the above language and in that case would
be available to cover hours needed when coming out of revised hours and returning to their normal schedule. This
would avoid the necessity of using vacation accruals. Scenarios discussed.
An earlier starting time than listed above may be adopted for any or all employees during the
months of daylight saving's time. Such earlier starting time shall be mutually agreeable among the
County, the employee(s) and the Council, and shall be paid at the regular rate of eight (8) hours
of continuous work.
It is understood by the parties' signatory to this Agreement by and between Mason County and
Engineers Local 302 and Teamsters Local No. 252, that effective immediately, the items listed below
are negotiated changes in Road and ER&R Maintenance Work Schedules from the present five 8-
hour work-days to four 10-hour work-days:
Working Hours Road Maintenance Personnel: - Monday through Friday
Last full week of March through the first full week of April: 6:30 am – 5:00 pm
Second full week of April through the first full week of September: 6:00 am – 4:30 pm
Second full week of September through the last full week of September: 6:30 am - 4:30 pm
Operating Engineers/Teamsters and Mason County 2022-2025 Public Works Collective Bargaining Agreement
Page 13
Working Hours ER&R Personnel: - Monday through Friday 6:00 am – 4:30 pm
Stewards and management will meet to discuss adjusting start times as needed. If the level of
service in the areas of responsibility deteriorates, we will correct this by splitting the four day shifts
to include one shift Monday through Thursday and the other shift Tuesday through Friday.
8.3 REST/MEAL BREAKS
Employees shall receive a thirty (30) minute paid lunch after working more than two (2) hours'
overtime, and an additional paid thirty (30) minute meal period for each additional four (4) hours
of work. When employees are directed to work through their paid meal period(s), they shall have
the option of taking their paid meal period(s) at the end of the shift or adding the equivalent amount
of paid time to their time sheet.
Normally, employees will be entitled to two (2), fifteen (15) minute paid rest breaks during the
regular work-day; one approximately midpoint through the first half of the work-day, and one
approximately midpoint in the second half of the work-day. However, when operational needs of
the County require a change to the norm and if the nature of the work allows an employee to take
intermittent rest breaks from duty, management may require that such employee(s) take
intermittent rest periods equivalent to the fifteen (15) minutes, as provided for in WAC 296-126-
092.
8.4 OVERTIME
All time worked over eight (8) hours, or their regularly scheduled nine (9) or ten (10) hours in any
one (1) day, shall be paid for at the rate of time and one-half. All work performed between
3:30/4:30 pm Friday and 11:59pmSaturday shall be paid for at a rate of time and one-half. All work
performed between 12:00am Sunday and 11:59pm Sunday shall be paid for at the double-time
rate. All work performed between 12:00am Monday and 6:00 am Monday shall be paid for at the
rate of time and one-half. Overtime shall be paid to the nearest quarter hour. The maximum hours

or the Public Works Director. All scheduled weekend overtime work will be offered to regular
employees before being offered to Seasonal Help.

9.3 PROMOTIONS

offer of employment has not been extended). If the position was abolished or filled, such employee
will be laid off and eligible for recall in accordance with Article 10, except that the employee may not
bump another employee. Employees on trial service shall be paid the appropriate established salary
for that position; and, if reverted, will return to their previous salary (including any adjustments due;

by law.
Conditions of hiring, termination change in status, shift, evaluations, commendations and
disciplinary actions shall be in writing with a copy to the Employee prior to placement in their
personnel file. The Employer’s failure to abide by this Article pertaining to personnel file access
shall not affect the Employer’s ability to proceed with the merits of discipline or discharge but may
be a separate Union grievable matter and any grievance time-lines will be correspondingly extended
Employees shall have the right to provide a written response to any written evaluations or
disciplinary actions to be included in the personnel file. Upon approval of the Human Resources
Operating Engineers/Teamsters and Mason County 2022-2025 Public Works Collective Bargaining Agreement

Department, employees may add additional documents to their personnel file including, but not
limited to, certifications, degrees, and commendations.)
Medical files shall be kept separate and confidential in accordance with state and federal law.
9.5 EVALUATIONS
The purpose of evaluation is to help an employee be successful in performance and to understand
the standards and goals of their position and their Department. The evaluation will assess and
focus on the employee’s accomplishment of their job functions and the goals and standards of the
position. Where the employee does not meet the above, a plan for correction, training or support
should be developed with the employee.
Evaluation may occur in two forms:
9.5.1 All regular employees should be formally evaluated in writing by their immediate
supervisor and/or Department head or designee during the probationary or trial service
period and at least annually (at date of hire or a common date) thereafter.
9.5.2 Additionally, evaluation of job performance may occur at any time and on an ongoing
basis. Evaluation may occur in various ways and may include coaching, counseling or
written assessment.
The evaluation process shall also include a review of the current job description.
Evaluation shall not, by itself, constitute disciplinary action – disciplinary action must be specifically
identified as such, in writing, consistent with Article 9.6.
Employees will be given a copy of the evaluation. Employees will be required to sign the evaluation,
acknowledging its receipt. Employees may elect to provide a written response to the evaluation,
which will be retained with the evaluation in the employee’s personnel file.
9.6 DISCIPLINE / CORRECTIVE ACTION
The Employer agrees to act in good faith in the discipline, dismissal or demotion of any regular
employee and any such discipline, dismissal or demotion shall be made only for just cause.
No employee shall be discharged except for just cause. The parties recognize that just cause
requires progressive discipline. Progressive discipline may include:
• oral warnings, which will be documented;
• written warnings – which may also include work performance improvement or corrective
action plan for poor work performance or misconduct,
• suspension without pay;
• demotion; or
• discharge.
The intent of progressive discipline is to assist the employee with performance improvement or to
correct misconduct. Progressive discipline shall not apply where the offense requires more serious
discipline in the first instance. Both the sequencing and the steps of progressive discipline are
determined on a case-by-case basis, given the nature of the problem.
All disciplinary actions shall be clearly identified as such in writing. The employee will be requested
to sign the disciplinary action. The employee’s signature thereon shall not be construed as
Operating Engineers/Teamsters and Mason County 2022-2025 Public Works Collective Bargaining Agreement
Page 16
admission of guilt or concurrence with the discipline, but rather shall be an acknowledgement of
receipt. Employees shall have the right to review and comment on disciplinary actions in their
personnel file.
A copy of all disciplinary notices shall be provided to the employee before such material is placed
in their personnel file. Employees disciplined or discharged shall be entitled to utilize the grievance
procedure. If, as a result of the grievance procedure utilization, just cause is not shown, personnel
records shall be cleared of reference to the incident, which gave rise to the grievance.
The Employer will notify the Union in writing within three (3) working days after any notice of
discharge. The failure to provide such notice shall not affect such discharge but will extend the
period within which the affected employee may file a grievance.
The Employer recognizes the right of an employee who reasonably believes that an investigatory
interview with a supervisor may result in discipline to request the presence of a Union representative
at such an interview. Upon request, they shall be afforded a Union representative. The Employer
will delay the interview for a reasonable period of time in order to allow a Union representative an
opportunity to attend. If a Union representative is not available or delay is not reasonable, the
employee may request the presence of a bargaining unit witness. (Weingarten rights)
Employees shall also have a right to a notice and a determination meeting prior to any disciplinary
action (except oral warning). The Employer must provide a notice and statement in writing to the
employee identifying the performance violations or misconduct alleged, a finding of fact and the
reasons for the proposed action. The employee shall be given an opportunity to respond to the
charges in a meeting with the Employer, and shall have the right to Union representation during that
meeting, upon request. (Loudermill rights)
The Employer shall endeavor to correct employee errors or misjudgments in private, with
appropriate Union representation if requested by the employee.
Discipline shall be subject to the grievance procedure in this Agreement as to whether or not such
action as to any post-probationary employee was for just cause.
ARTICLE 10 – SENIORITY
10.1 LAY-OFF & RECALL
The principle of seniority shall be used in connection with layoff for lack of work and rehire upon
resumption of work. The last person hired will be the first person laid off and the last person laid

be qualified to perform the work available in order to exercise their seniority. Laid off employees
will retain seniority rights for eighteen (18) months from date of layoff; all Seasonal employees will
be laid-off before the lay-off of any regular employee. Seniority shall be lost if the employee does
not return to work when offered their previous position. Employees rehired by the Employer (this

Agreement. Seniority shall also apply to promotion, demotion and transfer from one classification
to another, providing the person exercising his/her seniority is competent and capable of

their classification and within that season; a Seasonal worker re-hired for a new season will be
considered a new employee.

10.2.2 Daily assignment of equipment will be subject to review under the grievance
procedure.
10.2.3 Seniority (for the limited purposes of bidding or layoff protection) may be changed
under the following circumstances:
1) If an employee terminates County employment and subsequently
returns to County employment in this bargaining unit, all past seniority
will be lost.
2) If an employee leaves a bargaining unit position and, without a
break in employment, takes another position in County service, then
subsequently returns to a bargaining unit position, the employee shall
keep their prior bargaining unit seniority. The employee will not receive
bargaining unit seniority credit for time in a non-bargaining unit position.
3) If an employee is promoted, transfers or demotes from a Teamster
position within the bargaining unit to an Operator position, or an
Operator position to a Teamster position, and subsequently returns to
a position under their prior Union the following will apply:

the employer, at least one (1) representative from Human Resources and a minimum of three (3)

appropriate supplies on an as-needed basis. When such time, as any or all of such equipment
wears out, the County shall replace such items, free of charge to the employee, so long as it can be
shown that the items were no longer functional due to standard ‘wear and tear’ and not due to the
negligence or intentional misconduct by the employee to damage such equipment items.

ARTICLE 21 - GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
21.1 GRIEVANCE DEFINED
The purpose of the grievance procedure is to promote harmony and efficiency between employees
and the County by providing timely settlement of grievances without fear of discrimination or reprisal.
Employees will be unimpeded and free from restraint, interference, coercion, discrimination or reprisal
in seeking adjudication of their grievance.
A grievance is an allegation by an employee, group of employees or the Union that there has been a
violation, misapplication or misinterpretation of this Agreement.
Failure by an employee and/or the Union to comply with any grievance time limitations shall constitute
withdrawal of the grievance. Failure of the County to comply with any grievance time limitations shall
permit the Union or the employee to advance the grievance to the next step in the grievance
procedure. Any grievance procedure time limit may be extended by mutual written agreement.
Operating Engineers/Teamsters and Mason County 2022-2025 Public Works Collective Bargaining Agreement
Page 29
A grievance of interest to several employees may be filed as a "group grievance."
The processing and adjudication of grievances shall be conducted during working hours.
21.2 GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
In the event of a grievance, the following procedure shall be used:
Step 1. A grievance must be presented within ten (10) calendar days of the incident giving
rise to the grievance or the date the grievant knew or reasonably could have known of the
incident to the employee’s immediate supervisor or manager if the grievance is not related to
a salary issue. The supervisor or manager may schedule a meeting with the employee and
his/her Union representative or he/she may respond to the grievance when presented. In
either case, the supervisor shall respond to the grievance within seven (7) calendar days of
the employee raising the issue. If the grievance is not resolved informally, then a written
grievance may be filed at Step 2. However, if the incident is related to a salary issue, the
employee and/or the Union Steward shall submit a written grievance at Step 2 to the
Department Head within ten (10) calendar days of the incident giving rise to the grievance.
Step 2. The grievance shall be presented in writing on an official Union grievance form. This
shall include:
1. the specific details of the incident or issue giving rise to the grievance;
2. the Article(s) and Section(s) of the Agreement allegedly violated; and
3. the remedy sought.
The written grievance shall be submitted by the employee and/or the Union Steward/Union
Representative to the Department Head within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the
discussion in Step 1 above. A copy of the grievance will be filed concurrently with the Human
Resources Department. Within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt of the official written
grievance, the Department Head (or designee) shall schedule a meeting with the employee
and Shop Steward and/or Union Representative to hear and seek to resolve the grievance.
The Department Head shall provide a written response to the Employee and the Union
Steward/Union Representative within fourteen (14) calendar days of the meeting. A copy of
the grievance response shall be provided to the Human Resources Department. If the
grievance is not resolved at Step 2, the grievance may be advanced to Step 3.
Step 3. The written grievance shall be submitted to the Human Resources Director within ten
(10) calendar days of the date of the written response at Step 2. Within ten (10) calendar days
of receipt of the grievance, the Human Resources Director or designee shall schedule a
meeting with the Employee, Union Steward/Union Representative, and the Department Head
to hear and seek to resolve the grievance. The Human Resources Director shall provide a
written answer to the Employee, Union Steward/Union Representative, and Department Head
within fourteen (14) calendar days of the meeting. If the grievance is not resolved at Step 3,
the grievance may be advanced to Step 4.
Step 4. The Union may choose to submit the grievance to arbitration and in such case will
deliver written notification of its intent to arbitrate to the Employer within fourteen (14) calendar
days. The Union’s request for arbitration shall be in writing and may be filed with the Public
Employment Relations Commission (PERC), Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service
(FMCS), or a mutually agreed upon arbitrator or arbitration service within thirty (30) calendar
days of submitting its notice to the Employer of its intent to arbitrate. In addition, the Union
shall request the arbitration service supply a list of seven (7) qualified arbitrators. If a list of
Operating Engineers/Teamsters and Mason County 2022-2025 Public Works Collective Bargaining Agreement
Page 30
seven arbitrators is requested, both parties will attempt to agree upon an arbitrator from this
list. If they cannot agree within fourteen (14) calendar days from the receipt of the list, a flip of
the coin will determine which party strikes the first name from the list. This striking of names
will alternate between the parties until one name remains. This person shall be the arbitrator.
The referral to arbitration shall contain the following:
1. question or questions at issue;
2. statement of facts and position of each respective party; and
3. copy of the grievance and related correspondence.
GRIEVANCE ARBITRATION: A hearing shall be scheduled at a date, time and location mutually
convenient for all parties. In connection with any arbitration proceeding held pursuant to this Article,
it is understood as follows:
A. The arbitrator shall have no power to render a decision that will add to, subtract from or
alter, change, or modify the terms of this Agreement, and his/her power shall be limited to
interpretation or application of the terms of this Agreement, and all other matters shall be
excluded from arbitration.
B. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Employer, the
Union and the employees involved, provided the decision does not involve action by the
Employer which is beyond its jurisdiction.
C. Each party may call such witnesses as may be necessary in the order in which their
testimony is to be heard. Such testimony shall be sworn and shall be limited to the matters
set forth in the written statement of the grievance, and shall be subject to cross
examination. The arguments of the parties may be supported by oral comment and
rebuttal. Either or both parties may submit post hearing briefs within a time mutually
agreed upon. Such arguments of the parties, whether oral or written, shall be confined to
and directed at the matters set forth in the written statement of the grievance.
D. Either party may request that a stenographic record of the hearing be made. The party
requesting such record shall bear the cost thereof; provided, however, if the other party
requests a copy, such cost shall be shared equally.
E. The cost of the arbitrator shall be borne equally by the Employer and the Union, and each
party shall bear the cost of presenting its own case.
21.3 UNION/EMPLOYER GRIEVANCE
Either the Union or the Employer may initiate a grievance at Step 2 if the grievance is submitted in
writing within ten (10) business days from the date the Employer/employees became aware or
reasonably should have known that the grievance existed. The Employer may not grieve the acts
of individual employees, but rather, only orchestrated acts or actions of authorized representatives
believed to be in conflict with this Agreement. An Employer grievance will not be subject to
Arbitration and may only go to mediation upon mutual agreement.
The Union may initiate a Grievance at Step 2 anytime that it involves a group of employees involving
different supervisors or from different Departments. Such grievances may be referred to mediation
services by mutual agreement prior to Arbitration.

Memorandum of Agreement with the Port of Allyn
Background/Executive Summary:
On December 14, 2009 the Port of Allyn briefed the Commissioners with a request to encumber reclaimed
water from the North Bay sewer system. Encumbering the reclaimed water would help mitigate any
negative hydraulic impact to Sherwood Creek from the Port of Allyn’s new well/water right.
The North Bay sewer utility reclaims approximately 365,000 gallons per day. The 2.7-acre foot per month
referenced in the agreement is approximately 880,000 gallons per month or 8% of a normal month
reclaimed water production.
The Port of Allyn would like to codify this Memorandum of Agreement at the request of the Squaxin
Island Tribe.
Budget Impact (amount, funding source, budget amendment):

Agreement
Memorandum of Agreement
This agreement is entered into on this ____ Day or ____________ 2022 between the
Port of Allyn, and the Mason County Commissioners.
This purpose of this agreement is to codify the letter between the parties dated
December 22, 2009 concerning the mitigation of any negative hydraulic impact to
Sherwood Creek.
• On December 14, 2009, the Mason County Commissioners discussed the
Port’s request to encumber reclaimed water from North Bay sewer system.
• On December 22, 2009, a letter agreeing to do so was issued by the Mason
County Commissioners. (Copy Attached).
As part of the current approval process for the Port’s new well, which it is under a
mandate by the Department of Ecology to construct and have operable by March 1, 2024,
the Squaxin Island Tribe has requested that the above referenced letter be codified by this
Memorandum of Agreement.
In late November 2009 the Port of Allyn requested that the Mason County Board of
Commissioners consider allocating 2.7 acre-feet per month of reclaimed water from the
North Bay-Case Inlet Water Reclamation Plant towards groundwater infiltration. The
purpose of this allocation was to mitigate any negative hydrologic impact to Sherwood
Creek that may have resulted as a consequence of approving the water right application
the Port of Allyn had before the Department of Ecology at the time as part of its pending
approval of its Water System Plan. During the briefing with the Mason County
Commissioners on December 14, 2009 they agreed that this request would promote the
beneficial use of the treatment plant's reclaimed water.
This Memorandum of Agreement between the Mason County Commissioners and the
Port of Allyn heretofore permanently allocates 2.7 acre-feet per month in perpetuity to
infiltration and/or irrigation to supplement the Port’s water removal.
Signed this _____ day of _____________, 2022

Preliminary Design Contract for Building 10 – District Court Offices
Background/Executive Summary:
Helix Design Group provided a proposal to reengage with the County for the space plan and floor plan for
the unimproved portion of Building 10 interior. Helix will use the last approved floor plan, meeting with
District Court administration and Facilities staff to verify, and update the space plan and programming
needs for the remaining spaces.
District Court administration has a proposed layout of the remaining space that will require changes to the
last approved plan. The budgeted time associated with this proposal includes three meetings (one in
person, one remote) with County staff to ensure that the remaining programming needs for District Court
operations are captured. The updated floor plan will be shared with Engineering staff and cost estimating
staff to prepare an estimated budget for the project. The deliverable is a free proposal based on an
updated project cost estimate for full architectural and engineering services from schematic design
through construction and close out. Helix will use the Washington State Department of Enterprise
Services fee guide for the services proposal.

Special Market Value Purchase of Two (2) Kalmar Ottawa T2 Yard Tractors
Background/Executive Summary:
The Eells Hill Transfer Station currently uses yard tractors to move refuse trailers around on a daily basis.
One of the current yard tractors requires assistance from a push vehicle just to get a trailer moved out of
the “hole” where loading occurs. The second yard tractor is nearing the end of its useful life.
With the increased volumes of solid waste increasing it is more important than ever to be able to move
our refuse trailers in an efficient and effective manner. With a focus on maximizing every trailer loaded
we have been able to demonstrate a savings of over $130,000. to date this year alone. This would not be
possible without the use of two reliable yard tractors. New yard tractors are only sold through three US
vendors. Public Works reached out to each of the vendor and only one at this time, RWC International,
has two available, the other two are back ordered and wouldn’t have any available until next year. RWC’s
quote was also the lowest of all three vendors.
Budget Impact (amount, funding source, budget amendment):
Two (2) new Yard Tractors $281,090.66
Approved ARPA funds $240,000.00 (yard goats- approved 10/25/2022)

Special Facility or Market Condition
3. Is this product available from other sources? Yes No
4. What necessary features does the vendor provide which are not available from other vendors?
Availability. These tractors are a necessity for the transfer station and need to be replaced before the
other tractor is inoperable.
5. Can your requirements be modified so that competitive products or services may be used?
Yes No If yes, please explain modifications and potential costs: ___________________
6. How does the recommended vendor’s prices or fees compare to the general market? The vendor’s price
was actually the lowest price between the three and the only one with availability. (2 quotes attached.
Tec Equipment wouldn’t write up quote because they don’t have any inventory at this time).
7. What steps were taken to verify that these features were not available elsewhere?
Other brands manufactures were examined. Provide a list of phone numbers and names and
explain why these did not meet the requirement: _________________________________________
Other vendors were contacted but did not meet the requirements. Provide a list of companies and
phone numbers and why they did not meet the requirements: _______________________________
Other, please explain: During the market research, it was determined that there are only three vendors
in the US that sell yard tractors. Staff reached out to the Vendors and received a quote from all three even
though the equipment was back ordered until next year with two of the Vendors.
My department’s recommendation for sole source is based upon an objective review of the product/service
required and appears to be in the best interest of the County. I know of no conflict of interest on my part or
personal involvement in any way with this request. No gratuities, favors or compromising action have
taken place. Neither has my personal familiarity with particular brands, types of equipment, materials or
firms been a deciding influence on my request to sole source this purchase when there are other known
suppliers to exist.

Item:
Request to increase the Superior Court Commissioner from 37 hours/week to 40 hours/week.
Background/Executive Summary:
During our 2023 budget meeting with the Board of County Commissioners, the Superior Court discussed
significant changes to the civil protection order statutes that were enacted on 7/1/22 as a result of ESSHB1320.
At the time we discussed the increased workload we were experiencing in our Protection Order and Ex-Parte
dockets as a result of the law changes. Currently the Court has Protection Order dockets on Mondays,
Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. These dockets are starting to become overwhelmed with these complex
cases. To accommodate the increase in workload we would like to schedule a Tuesday Protection Order
docket which would be held by our Superior Court Commissioner.
Our Superior Court Commissioner’s current contract is for 37 hours per week (.925 FTE) and we are
requesting that this be increased to a full FTE at 40 hours a week to allow for the new docket and prep time.
Budget Impact (amount, funding source, budget amendment):
For 2022 the budget increase would be about $1,303 in salary and benefits. For 2023 the budget request would
be $12,952 in Salary and $2,343 in Benefits for a total of $15,295.
