the removal of 8.10 and 8.12 for separate discussion and vote. Motion carried unanimously. N-
aye; S-aye; T-aye.
Item 8.10
Loretta Swanson, Public Works Director, shared this is a request to extend an existing Interlocal
Agreement (ILA) between the County, City of Bremerton, and Port of Bremerton for planning to
potentially service the southern portion of the Puget Sound Industrial Center (PSIC). The County
initially approached the City of Bremerton because the County’s existing plant was not receiving the
flow or growth anticipated and for financial purposes. The General Sewer Plan was updated to plan
for accommodating flow from the PSIC and this was reiterated during the Belfair Planned Action
work. The City of Bremerton is updating their Comprehensive Plan. Potential zoning and land use
impacts are also being considered.
Cmmr. Neatherlin added this was also due to the Port of Bremerton’s system failing and being unable
to get recertified. The idea was to get all flow from the PSIC. Now the County has its own capacity
needs – the whole upper area was rezoned for a capacity of ERUs (equivalent residential unit) that is
much greater than anything thought before. The City of Bremerton has still not put this into their plan
or come through with the million dollars and planning as agreed upon. The benefit is very small, and
the need is greater within the County. Creating our own competition will devastate the tax base and
businesses in North Mason. Previously funding for the sewer was changed to bank loans from bonds
for a lower interest rate. The only major disagreement centered around extending the sewer through
personal property for future development. The tribes are currently requesting money from the state to
do an extension from the County’s sewer, but this has not been discussed with the Commission. The
growth seen is due to already existing rules, pipes, and the developer that has already paid to hook up.
Cmmr. Shutty wants the County included and to have a voice in regional planning and the extension
of the ILA is included in this. Initially the County had no plan on how to deal with the Belfair sewer,
it was financially backwards, had findings, and no idea on how to grow the ERUs. Now the County
has a forward-thinking approach to the Belfair Urban Growth Area (UGA). This allows the County to
be part of additional conversation and to move forward as a partnership. This is part of Bremerton’s
2024 budget. The County is not $5 million in debt, grant funding from the Public Works Board and
the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was utilized. $250k of ARPA funding was used to evaluate
extending across Highway 3 to the western part of the UGA.
Cmmr. Trask added this keeps the County in the conversation and allows the County to make sure that
decisions made are in the best interest of Mason County.
Cmmr. Shutty/Trask moved and seconded to approve item 8.10 approval for the Public Works
Director to execute a one-year extension of the Interlocal Agreement between Mason County,
the Port of Bremerton, and City of Bremerton for project design oversight to the Puget Sound
Industrial Center (PSIC) to December 31, 2024. Motion carried. N-nay; S-aye; T-aye.
Item 8.12
Mark Neary, County Administrator, shared this is a request to name Building 10 after Gary Paul
Burleson who was a long-time Prosecuting Attorney for Mason County. The request is to name the
building either the “Gary Paul Burleson District Court Building” or “Gary Paul Burleson Law and
Justice Building”.
4 | D e c e m b e r 1 9 , 2 0 2 3 C o m m i s s i o n M i n u t e s
Joe Robertson, Shelton, added that Gary went to work as a Deputy Prosecutor for Mason County in
1973. Their careers paralleled. Gary was elected Prosecuting Attorney for seven consecutive terms
and unfortunately passed away in 2017. In July/August, Joe reached out to Kelly Frazier, Michael
Dorcy, and Tim Whitehead regarding naming a building after Gary. Joe requested Building 10 be
named “Gary Paul Burleson Law and Justice Building”.
Kathy Burleson, Shelton, shared her appreciation for the acknowledgement and recognition of her late
husband. Gary was a prosecutor for 37 years and was dedicated to Mason County and made a huge
impact.
Cmmr. Neatherlin/Shutty moved and seconded to approve item 8.10 approval of the Resolution
naming Building 10 the Gary Paul Burleson District Court Building per Mason County Code
Chapter 2.54. Motion carried unanimously. N-aye; S-aye; T-aye.
9. Other Business (Department Heads and Elected Officials)
Kelly Frazier, Facilities Manager, shared the main Courthouse elevator is running. The
Employees Group bake sale raised $934, “pass the envelope” raised $1,130, and 24 bins of food
were collected.
Melissa Casey, Community Health Manager, thanked the Board for their support in bringing WIC
back to the community and introduced Rachel Hook, the new WIC Coordinator. Rachel has over
20 years of experience coordinating and doing work for WIC. Rachel added that when the
Shelton WIC office closed, Thurston County received 578 clients in one week. Clients ask daily
when Shelton will open their WIC office, the goal is February 2024.

for purchase of roll-off truck; and Fund 411 Rustlewood Sewer and Water revenue increase
$100,000 for transfer from General Fund to support operations. Total increases to
expenditures in the General Fund $1,054,462 and total increases to expenditures in other funds
$4,260,831.
Mark Neary added that throughout the year the County consolidates budget amendments so
that a Public Hearing is not needed every time an amendment is needed. Departments have the
ability to continue to operate during the year with the budget allotted. Generally, a budget
adjustment is done mid-year and then year-end. This is a culmination of quite a bit of work
that has happened since mid-year. Mark shared his thanks for staff.
Cmmr. Neatherlin/Shutty moved and seconded to approve the supplemental budget
requests and budget transfers to the 2023 Budget as listed in Attachments A and B net
total of adjustments to 2023 authorized expenditure appropriations in the General Fund
is an increase of $1,054,462 and the net total of adjustments to 2023 authorized
expenditure appropriations in funds other than the General Fund is an increase of
$4,260,831. Motion carried unanimously. N-aye; S-aye; T-aye.
10.2 Public Hearing to consider the sale of parcel no. 12220-50-58012 to Jon and Kim Rice for the
amount of $1,600. Staff: Diane Zoren
Diane Zoren shared a request came forward after the realtor for Jon and Kim Rice contacted
Support Services last summer for a tiny piece of property in Allyn off of Sherwood Avenue.
The parcel was surplused in October under the assumption this was County property. After
further research and after the hearing was set and a Purchase and Sale Agreement was received
from the Rice’s, it was determined that the parcel is actually the Rice’s property. It is on the
deed. The Order of Vacation from 1925 does not recognize it so there is a cloud on the Rice’s
title. The Prosecuting Attorney looked at this and said the correct process, if the Rice’s want
to clear the cloud, is to ask for a vacation. No motion is needed from the Board except to close
the hearing.
The approval of the sale of parcel no. 12220-50-58012 to Jon and Kim Rice for the
amount of $1,600 died for lack of motion.
11. Board’s Calendar and Reports – The Commissioners reported on meetings attended the past
week and announced their upcoming weekly meetings.

Evergreen State College’s Shelton Promise Pilot Program
Background/Executive Summary:
Evergreen State College’s Shelton Promise is a pilot program proposal in their proposed 2024 supplemental
budget. This program would use existing federal and state financial aid as a foundation to offer all 2025 and
2026 Shelton graduates’ admission to Evergreen State College with 100% paid-for tuition. Only 31% of the
Shelton School Districts students attend college. Evergreen is asking for $285,000 to fund the program in the
first year and estimates the total for four years to be $3.5 million.

Evergreen’s Shelton Promise
“Shelton Promise” is the name of a pilot proposal in Evergreen’s proposed 2024
supplemental budget.
The idea is to use existing federal and state financial aid as a foundation to make a simple and direct offer to all 2025 and 2026 Shelton graduates. That upfront offer is: admission to Evergreen, 100% paid-for tuition, and targeted support to get them to their degrees.
Why Shelton? A year after graduation, only 31% of Mason County’s Shelton School District
students are attending college, compared to 65% next door in the Olympia School District.
Even though most qualify for substantial financial aid, worry over how to pay tuition and
navigate college is a daunting barrier for Shelton students and their families.
Almost 70 percent of family-wage jobs in Washington require a post-secondary credential,
according to the Washington Roundtable. Evergreen can close this gap and help Shelton
students gain the degrees and credentials they will need for future employment.
The college is asking for $285,000 to fund the program in the first year and estimates the
total for four years to be $3.5 million.

Re: Evergreen State College’s Shelton Promise Pilot Program
Dear Members,
The Mason County Board of County Commissioners enthusiastically supports Evergreen State
College’s Shelton Promise pilot program as proposed in the Evergreen State College’s 2024
supplemental budget request. The Commission is committed to supporting our education partners
in developing pathways for students to be successful after they graduate from high school and
believes this will allow more students the opportunity to pursue a college degree in our community.
Data shows nearly half as many Shelton High School graduates are in college a year after graduating
than their peers in neighboring Olympia. Even though ma ny Shelton students qualify for student
aid, barriers remain to entering and completing a post -secondary degree program. By making this
investment and partnering with the Shelton School District, we believe students will have a better
chance at succeeding at the college level and ultimately be more competitive for family-wage jobs
once they enter the workforce.
We stand in strong support of Mason County students and hope the Legislature will make this
investment in their future by including Evergreen State College’s Shelton Promise funding request
in the final budget. If this pilot program is successful, we hope it can be extended to benefit other
rural communities in our region and across the state.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Randy Neatherlin, Kevin Shutty, Sharon Trask,

DOH Program and Fiscal Contact Information for all ConCon SOWs can be found on the DOH Finance SharePoint site. Questions related to this SOW, or any other
finance -related inquiry, may be sent to finance@d oh.wa.gov .
FPHS staff from DOH and the Washington State Association of Local Public Health Officials (WSALPHO) will coordinate and communicate together to build and assure common
systemwide approaches per FPHS Steering Committee direction and the FPHS framework intent.
• For LHJ questions about the use of funds:
o Chris Goodwin, FPHS Policy Advisor, WSALPHO-cgoodwin@wsac.or g, 564-200-3166
o Brianna Steere, FPHS Policy Advisor, WSALPHO -bsteere@wsac.org, 564-200-3171
The intent ofFPHS funding is outlined in RCW 43 .70.5 12 .
Foundational Public Health Services Definitions and related information can be found here: www.doh .wa.gov/fphs .
Stable funding and an iterative decision-making process -The FPHS Steering Committee's roles and responsibilities are outlined in the FPHS Committee & Workgroup
Charter The Steering Committee is the decision making body for FPHS and operates under a consensus-based decision making model, outlined here. The Steering Committee use
an iterative approach to decision making meaning additional tasks and/or funds may be added to a local health jurisdiction's (LHJ) FPHS Statement of Work (SOW) as funding
decisions are made.
Exhibit A, Statement of Work Page 2 of6 Contract Number CLH31019-Amendment 16
Page 7 of 33
Spending of FPHS funds -FPHS funds do not require pre-approval or pre-authorization to spend. FPHS funds are to assure FPHS services are available in each jurisdiction based
on the FPHS Definitions (link) and as reflected in the SOW. Assurance includes providing FPHS as part of your jurisdiction's program operations, contracting with another
governmental public health system partner to provide the service, or receiving the service through a new service delivery model such as cross-jurisdictional sharing or regional
staff. FPHS funds are eligible starting at the beginning of each state fiscal year (July 1) regardless of when funds are received by the LHJ, even if the expenditure
occurred before the LHJ's contract was signed.
These funds are not intended for fee -based services such as select environmental public health services. As state funding for FPHS increases, other funds sources (local revenue,
grants, federal block grants) should be directed to the implementation of additional important services and local/state priorities as determined by each agency/jurisdiction.
Annual Allocations -The legislature appropriates FPHS funding on an annual basis and the FPHS Steering Committee allocates funds annually through the FPHS Concurrence
Process for the State Fiscal Year (SFY): July -June.
The Legislature appropriates FPHS funding amounts for each fiscal year of the biennium. This means that funds must be spent within that fiscal year and cannot be carried
forward. Any funds not spent by June 30th each year must be returned to the State Treasury. Funding allocations reset and begin again at the start of the next fiscal year (July I).
This Statement of Work is for the period of July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024 and may be included in multiple Consolidated Contracts (ConCons) which are based on the calendar year
and renewed every three years.
Disbursement of FPHS funds to LHJs -Unlike other Con Con grants, FPHS bill-back to DOH is NOT required. Half of the annual FPHS funds allocated by the Steering
Committee to each LHJ are disbursed each July and January. The July payments to LHJs and access to FPHS allocation for all other parts of the governmental public health
system occur upon completion of the FPHS Annual Assessment.
Deliverables -FPHS funds are to be used to assure FPHS services statewide. The FPHS accountability process measures how funds are spent, along with changes in system
capacity through the FPHS Annual Assessment, system performance indicators, and other data. DOH, SBOH and local health jurisdictions have agreed to complete:
1. Reporting of spending and spending projections. Process timelines and reporting template are provided by the FPHS Steering Committee via FPHS Support Staff.
2. FPHS Annual Assessment is due each July to report on the previous state fiscal year. Process and reporting template are provided by the FPHS Steering Committee via
FPHS Support Staff. System results are published in the annual FPHS Investment Report available at www.doh.wa.gov/fphs .

provided. This includes payments of "one-twelfth" of the current fiscal year's funding.

only be exchanged for a specific service (e.g., transportation), shall be used to meet the need for such services. CONTRACTOR shall administer gift cards
voucher programs to assure that recipients cannot readily convert vouchers into cash.
I) Store gift cards that can be redeemed at one merchant or an affiliated group of merchants for specific goods or services are allowable as incentives for
eligible program participants.
2) General-use prepaid cards are considered "cash equi valent" and are therefore unallowable. Such cards generally bear the logo of a payment network, such
as Visa, MasterCard, or American Express, and are accepted by any merchant that accepts those credit or debit cards as payment. Gift cards that are
cobranded with the logo of a payment network and the logo of a merchant or affiliated group of merchants are general-use prepaid cards, not store gift
cards, and therefore are unallowable.
3) The CONTRACTOR must ensure that a policy for managing gift cards with strong internal controls is in place.
v. Funds for Needle Exchange Programs Not Allowed with Federal Funding-CONTRACTOR shall not expend contract federal funds to support needle
exchange programs using funds from HIV Community Services Tasks.

educational and supportive roles that work collectively to ensure clinical staff (i .e., case managers, navigators, coordinators, assistants , coaches) are equipped
with the skills necessary to deliver competent and ethical services to clients that adhere to best practices within applicable fields as well as all relevant Statewide
Standards. Supervisors must meet the criteria set forth within the WA State HIV Case Management Standards and provide the level of interaction and review
detailed in that document.
It is the understanding of DOH that Supervision funded under the direct program portion of this contract include at minimum, the provision of at least two of the
three functions detailed here: administrative, educational or supportive supervision. Supervision that encompasses only administrative functions wi ll not be
considered billable under Direct Program. To that end, it is the expectation of DOH that those personnel identified as Sup ervisors have no more than one degree
of separation from direct client care. Exceptions to this rule can be presented and considered to and by DOH Contract Management. It will fall to the requesting
organization to satisfactorily demonstrate that any Supervisory positions falling within the scope of Direct Program are meeting the expectation of provision of
educational or supportive supervision with the aim of directly impacting client experiences, quality of services, and adherence to best practices and Statewide

Dear Mr. Schwartz:
My staff has reviewed the information contained in your letter of November 21,
2023, concerning two Mason County properties located near Belfair, Washington. You
have not obtained the appropriate permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(Corps) which is a violation of Federal law. Federal law provides means whereby
violators may be prosecuted. However, I have decided not to pursue prosecution at this
time provided you complete one of the courses of action listed below. Failure to
complete one of these actions may result in legal action, which could include an
appropriate penalty.
To resolve this violation, two courses of action are available to you: (1) voluntarily
remove the fill, or (2) complete the application in process by obtaining an after-the-fact
(ATF) permit authorization to retain the existing work.
Also, our regulations require a signed tolling agreement before we can accept an
ATF permit application. If you intend to obtain an ATF permit authorization, please
review, sign, and return the enclosed Tolling Agreement for each project. If you have
any questions regarding the tolling agreement, please contact our Office of Counsel
at (206) 316-3130.
- 2 -
You must choose a course of action and inform us of your decision in writing within
30 days from the date of this letter. If you have any questions concerning your reply,
please contact Mr. Joshua Taylor at joshua.r.taylor@usace.army.mil or at (360) 318-

question during the pendency of this tolling agreement nor during the pendency of any
civil action brought as described above, without first notifying the United States and

agent of such parties, that is not set forth in this agreement shall be valid or binding.

the potential defendant(s) in an attempt to settle the above claims;
WHEREAS, both parties believe that their interests will best be served by
continuing the ATF permit process without the disruption that might be occasioned
should the United States file a complaint in the immediate future;
AND WHEREAS both parties acknowledge the requirement found at 33 C.F.R.
331.11(c) for an applicant for an ATF permit to provide a signed tolling agreement;
2 of 3
THEREFORE, the United States and potential defendant(s) stipulate and agree
as follows:
1. The United States and potential defendant(s) agree that the time between the
acceptance by the Corps of the ATF permit application and the final Corps decision (as
defined at 33 CFR 331.10), plus one year thereafter, will not be included in calculating
any statute of limitations that might be applicable to the alleged statutory violation(s)
described above. Potential defendants agree not to assert, plead, or raise in any fashion
on behalf of any party, whether by answer, motion, or otherwise, any defense or
avoidance based on the running of any statute of limitations that may apply during that
period or any defense or avoidance based on laches or other principle concerning the
timeliness of commencing a civil action, based on the failure of the United States to file
its complaint during that period.
2. Potential defendants further agree not to transfer the property interest(s) in
question during the pendency of this tolling agreement nor during the pendency of any
civil action brought as described above, without first notifying the United States and
giving the United States a reasonable opportunity to oppose such transfer.
3. Nothing in this tolling agreement shall restrict or otherwise prevent the United
States from filing a complaint regarding any alleged statutory violation(s) not described
above, at any time.
3 of 3
4. This tolling agreement does not constitute any admission of liability on the part
of potential defendants; nor does it constitute any admission or acknowledgment on the
part of the United States that any statute of limitations has run or that any statute of
limitations is applicable to the statutory claims described above.
5. This tolling agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties, and
no statement, promise or inducement made by any party to this agreement, or any
agent of such parties, that is not set forth in this agreement shall be valid or binding.
This tolling agreement may not be enlarged, modified or altered except in writing signed
by the parties. This tolling agreement may be executed in counterparts.

Munis Cloud Conversion
Background/Executive Summary:
Information Technology (IT) proposes migrating Munis Financials to the cloud platform aligning with Munis’
shift towards cloud-based delivery of new features and updates. This proactive approach eliminates the need
for planned on-premises software upgrades and leverages the inherent benefits of cloud computing:
→Reduced IT workload: frees IT staff from the burden of managing servers and underlying operating
systems, enabling them to focus on higher-level tasks.
→Enhanced system resilience: achieve improved redundancy and disaster recovery capabilities through
cloud failover migration.
→Maximized uptime: benefit from a dedicated team of support professionals continuously monitoring
the system, minimizing downtime, and ensuring optimal performance.
→Early access to innovation: gain access to the latest features and cloud-exclusive solutions, driving
continuous improvement and efficiency.
→Empowered remote work: facilitate seamless access for remote workers, enhancing collaboration and
productivity.
→Robust security: leverage Tyler Technology’s annual penetration testing of all systems for validated
and heightened security posture.
Budget Impact (amount, funding source, budget amendment):
Annual cost of migration is approximately $85,000 which has been incorporated into the IT budget through a
rate adjustment.
Public Outreach (news release, community meeting, etc.):

SECTION B – SAAS SERVICES
1. Rights Granted. We grant to you the non-exclusive, non-assignable limited right to use the SaaS
Services solely for your internal business purposes for the number of Defined Users only. The Tyler
Software will be made available to you according to the terms of the SLA. You acknowledge that we
have no delivery obligations and we will not ship copies of the Tyler Software as part of the SaaS
Services. You may use the SaaS Services to access updates and enhancements to the Tyler Software,
3
as further described in Section C(9). The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent we have sold you
perpetual licenses for Tyler Software, if and listed in the Investment Summary, for which you are
receiving SaaS Services, your rights to use such Tyler Software are perpetual, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement including, without limitation, Section B(4). We will make any such
software available to you for download.
2. SaaS Fees. You agree to pay us the SaaS Fees. Those amounts are payable in accordance with our
Invoicing and Payment Policy. The SaaS Fees are based on the number of Defined Users and amount
of Data Storage Capacity. You may add additional users or additional data storage capacity on the
terms set forth in Section H(1). In the event you regularly and/or meaningfully exceed the Defined
Users or Data Storage Capacity, we reserve the right to charge you additional fees commensurate
with the overage(s).
3. Ownership.
3.1 We retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the SaaS Services, the Tyler Software,
and anything developed by us under this Agreement. You do not acquire under this Agreement
any license to use the Tyler Software in excess of the scope and/or duration of the SaaS Services.
3.2 The Documentation is licensed to you and may be used and copied by your employees for
internal, non-commercial reference purposes only.
3.3 You retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the Data. You expressly recognize
that except to the extent necessary to carry out our obligations contained in this Agreement, we
do not create or endorse any Data used in connection with the SaaS Services.
4. Restrictions. You may not: (a) make the Tyler Software or Documentation resulting from the SaaS
Services available in any manner to any third party for use in the third party’s business operations;
(b) modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, reverse compile, or reverse engineer any part of
the SaaS Services; (c) access or use the SaaS Services in order to build or support, and/or assist a
third party in building or supporting, products or services competitive to us; or (d) license, sell, rent,
lease, transfer, assign, distribute, display, host, outsource, disclose, permit timesharing or service
bureau use, or otherwise commercially exploit or make the SaaS Services, Tyler Software, or
Documentation available to any third party other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
5. Software Warranty. We warrant that the Tyler Software will perform without Defects during the
term of this Agreement. If the Tyler Software does not perform as warranted, we will use all
reasonable efforts, consistent with industry standards, to cure the Defect in accordance with the
maintenance and support process set forth in Section C(9), below, the SLA and our then current
Support Call Process.
6. SaaS Services.
6.1 Our SaaS Services are audited at least yearly in accordance with the AICPA’s Statement on
Standards for Attestation Engagements (“SSAE”) No. 21. We have attained, and will maintain,
SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance, or its equivalent, for so long as you are timely paying for SaaS
Services. The scope of audit coverage varies for some Tyler Software solutions. Upon execution
of a mutually agreeable Non-Disclosure Agreement (“NDA”), we will provide you with a
4
summary of our compliance report(s) or its equivalent. Every year thereafter, for so long as the
NDA is in effect and in which you make a written request, we will provide that same
information. If our SaaS Services are provided using a 3rd party data center, we will provide
available compliance reports for that data center.
6.2 You will be hosted on shared hardware in a Tyler data center or in a third-party data center. In
either event, databases containing your Data will be dedicated to you and inaccessible to our
other customers.
6.3 Our Tyler data centers have fully-redundant telecommunications access, electrical power, and
the required hardware to provide access to the Tyler Software in the event of a disaster or
component failure. In the event of a data center failure, we reserve the right to employ our
disaster recovery plan for resumption of the SaaS Services. In that event, we commit to a
Recovery Point Objective (“RPO”) of 24 hours and a Recovery Time Objective (“RTO”) of 24
hours. RPO represents the maximum duration of time between the most recent recoverable
copy of your hosted Data and subsequent data center failure. RTO represents the maximum
duration of time following data center failure within which your access to the Tyler Software
must be restored.
6.4 We conduct annual penetration testing of either the production network and/or web
application to be performed. We will maintain industry standard intrusion detection and
prevention systems to monitor malicious activity in the network and to log and block any such
activity. We will provide you with a written or electronic record of the actions taken by us in the
event that any unauthorized access to your database(s) is detected as a result of our security
protocols. We will undertake an additional security audit, on terms and timing to be mutually
agreed to by the parties, at your written request. You may not attempt to bypass or subvert
security restrictions in the SaaS Services or environments related to the Tyler Software.
Unauthorized attempts to access files, passwords or other confidential information, and
unauthorized vulnerability and penetration test scanning of our network and systems (hosted or
otherwise) is prohibited without the prior written approval of our IT Security Officer.
6.5 We test our disaster recovery plan on an annual basis. Our standard test is not client-specific.
Should you request a client-specific disaster recovery test, we will work with you to schedule
and execute such a test on a mutually agreeable schedule. At your written request, we will
provide test results to you within a commercially reasonable timeframe after receipt of the
request.
6.6 We will be responsible for importing back-up and verifying that you can log-in. You will be
responsible for running reports and testing critical processes to verify the returned Data.
6.7 We provide secure Data transmission paths between each of your workstations and our servers.
6.8 Tyler data centers are accessible only by authorized personnel with a unique key entry. All other
visitors to Tyler data centers must be signed in and accompanied by authorized personnel.
Entry attempts to the data center are regularly audited by internal staff and external auditors to
ensure no unauthorized access.
6.9 Where applicable with respect to our applications that take or process card payment data, we
5
are responsible for the security of cardholder data that we possess, including functions relating
to storing, processing, and transmitting of the cardholder data and affirm that, as of the
Effective Date, we comply with applicable requirements to be considered PCI DSS compliant and
have performed the necessary steps to validate compliance with the PCI DSS. We agree to
supply the current status of our PCI DSS compliance program in the form of an official
Attestation of Compliance, which can be found at https://www.tylertech.com/about-
us/compliance, and in the event of any change in our status, will comply with applicable notice
requirements.
SECTION C – PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
1. Professional Services. We will provide you the various implementation-related services itemized in
the Investment Summary and described in the Statement of Work.
2. Professional Services Fees. You agree to pay us the professional services fees in the amounts set
forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in accordance with our Invoicing and
Payment Policy. You acknowledge that the fees stated in the Investment Summary are good-faith
estimates of the amount of time and materials required for your implementation. We will bill you
the actual fees incurred based on the in-scope services provided to you. Any discrepancies in the
total values set forth in the Investment Summary will be resolved by multiplying the applicable
hourly rate by the quoted hours.
3. Additional Services. The Investment Summary contains, and the Statement of Work describes, the
scope of services and related costs (including programming and/or interface estimates) required for
the project based on our understanding of the specifications you supplied. If additional work is
required, or if you use or request additional services, we will provide you with an addendum or
change order, as applicable, outlining the costs for the additional work. The price quotes in the
addendum or change order will be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of the quote.
4. Cancellation. If travel is required, we will make all reasonable efforts to schedule travel for our
personnel, including arranging travel reservations, at least two (2) weeks in advance of
commitments. Therefore, if you cancel services less than two (2) weeks in advance (other than for
Force Majeure or breach by us), you will be liable for all (a) non-refundable expenses incurred by us
on your behalf, and (b) daily fees associated with cancelled professional services if we are unable to
reassign our personnel. We will make all reasonable efforts to reassign personnel in the event you
cancel within two (2) weeks of scheduled commitments.
5. Services Warranty. We will perform the services in a professional, workmanlike manner, consistent
with industry standards. In the event we provide services that do not conform to this warranty, we
will re-perform such services at no additional cost to you.
6. Site Access and Requirements. At no cost to us, you agree to provide us with full and free access to
your personnel, facilities, and equipment as may be reasonably necessary for us to provide
implementation services, subject to any reasonable security protocols or other written policies
provided to us as of the Effective Date, and thereafter as mutually agreed to by you and us.
7. Background Checks. For at least the past twelve (12) years, all of our employees have undergone
criminal background checks prior to hire. All employees sign our confidentiality agreement and
6
security policies.
8. Client Assistance. You acknowledge that the implementation of the Tyler Software is a cooperative
process requiring the time and resources of your personnel. You agree to use all reasonable efforts
to cooperate with and assist us as may be reasonably required to meet the agreed upon project
deadlines and other milestones for implementation. This cooperation includes at least working with
us to schedule the implementation-related services outlined in this Agreement. We will not be
liable for failure to meet any deadlines and milestones when such failure is due to Force Majeure or
to the failure by your personnel to provide such cooperation and assistance (either through action
or omission).
9. Maintenance and Support. For so long as you timely pay your SaaS Fees according to the Invoicing
and Payment Policy, then in addition to the terms set forth in the SLA and the Support Call Process,
we will:
9.1 perform our maintenance and support obligations in a professional, good, and workmanlike
manner, consistent with industry standards, to resolve Defects in the Tyler Software (subject to
any applicable release life cycle policy);
9.2 provide support during our established support hours;
9.3 maintain personnel that are sufficiently trained to be familiar with the Tyler Software and Third
Party Software, if any, in order to provide maintenance and support services;
9.4 make available to you all releases to the Tyler Software (including updates and enhancements)
that we make generally available without additional charge to customers who have a
maintenance and support agreement in effect; and
9.5 provide non-Defect resolution support of prior releases of the Tyler Software in accordance with
any applicable release life cycle policy.
We will use all reasonable efforts to perform support services remotely. Currently, we use a third-party
secure unattended connectivity tool called Bomgar, as well as GotoAssist by Citrix. Therefore, you agree
to maintain a high-speed internet connection capable of connecting us to your PCs and server(s). You
agree to provide us with a login account and local administrative privileges as we may reasonably
require to perform remote services. We will, at our option, use the secure connection to assist with
proper diagnosis and resolution, subject to any reasonably applicable security protocols. If we cannot
resolve a support issue remotely, we may be required to provide onsite services. In such event, we will
be responsible for our travel expenses, unless it is determined that the reason onsite support was
required was a reason outside our control. Either way, you agree to provide us with full and free access
to the Tyler Software, working space, adequate facilities within a reasonable distance from the
equipment, and use of machines, attachments, features, or other equipment reasonably necessary for
us to provide the maintenance and support services, all at no charge to us. We strongly recommend
that you also maintain your VPN for backup connectivity purposes.
For the avoidance of doubt, SaaS Fees do not include the following services: (a) onsite support (unless
Tyler cannot remotely correct a Defect in the Tyler Software, as set forth above); (b) application design;
(c) other consulting services; or (d) support outside our normal business hours as listed in our then-
7
current Support Call Process. Requested services such as those outlined in this section will be billed to
you on a time and materials basis at our then current rates. You must request those services with at
least one (1) weeks’ advance notice.
SECTION D – THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS
1. Third Party Hardware. We will sell, deliver, and install onsite the Third Party Hardware, if you have
purchased any, for the price set forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in
accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy.
2. Third Party Software. As part of the SaaS Services, you will receive access to the Third Party
Software and related documentation for internal business purposes only. Your rights to the Third
Party Software will be governed by the Third Party Terms.
3. Third Party Products Warranties.
3.1 We are authorized by each Developer to grant access to the Third Party Software.
3.2 The Third Party Hardware will be new and unused, and upon payment in full, you will receive
free and clear title to the Third Party Hardware.
3.3 You acknowledge that we are not the manufacturer of the Third Party Products. We do not
warrant or guarantee the performance of the Third Party Products. However, we grant and pass
through to you any warranty that we may receive from the Developer or supplier of the Third
Party Products.
4. Third Party Services. If you have purchased Third Party Services, those services will be provided
independent of Tyler by such third-party at the rates set forth in the Investment Summary and in
accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy.
SECTION E - INVOICING AND PAYMENT; INVOICE DISPUTES
1. Invoicing and Payment. We will invoice you the SaaS Fees and fees for other professional services in
the Investment Summary per our Invoicing and Payment Policy, subject to Section E(2).
2. Invoice Disputes. If you believe any delivered software or service does not conform to the
warranties in this Agreement, you will provide us with written notice within thirty (30) days of your
receipt of the applicable invoice. The written notice must contain reasonable detail of the issues
you contend are in dispute so that we can confirm the issue and respond to your notice with either a
justification of the invoice, an adjustment to the invoice, or a proposal addressing the issues
presented in your notice. We will work with you as may be necessary to develop an action plan that
outlines reasonable steps to be taken by each of us to resolve any issues presented in your notice.
You may withhold payment of the amount(s) actually in dispute, and only those amounts, until we
complete the action items outlined in the plan. If we are unable to complete the action items
outlined in the action plan because of your failure to complete the items agreed to be done by you,
then you will remit full payment of the invoice. We reserve the right to suspend delivery of all SaaS
Services, including maintenance and support services, if you fail to pay an invoice not disputed as
described above within fifteen (15) days of notice of our intent to do so.
8
SECTION F – TERM AND TERMINATION
1. Term. The initial term of this Agreement is equal to the number of years indicated for SaaS Services
in Exhibit A, commencing on the first day of the first month following the Effective Date, unless
earlier terminated as set forth below. If no duration is indicated in Exhibit A, the initial term is one
(1) year. Upon expiration of the initial term, this Agreement will renew automatically for additional
one (1) year renewal terms at our then-current SaaS Fees unless terminated in writing by either
party at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current renewal term. Your right to access
or use the Tyler Software and the SaaS Services will terminate at the end of this Agreement.
2. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as set forth below. In the event of termination,
you will pay us for all undisputed fees and expenses related to the software, products, and/or
services you have received, or we have incurred or delivered, prior to the effective date of
termination. Disputed fees and expenses in all terminations other than your termination for cause
must have been submitted as invoice disputes in accordance with Section E(2).
2.1 Failure to Pay SaaS Fees. You acknowledge that continued access to the SaaS Services is
contingent upon your timely payment of SaaS Fees. If you fail to timely pay the SaaS Fees, we
may discontinue the SaaS Services and deny your access to the Tyler Software. We may also
terminate this Agreement if you don’t cure such failure to pay within forty-five (45) days of
receiving written notice of our intent to terminate.
2.2 For Cause. If you believe we have materially breached this Agreement, you will invoke the
Dispute Resolution clause set forth in Section H(3). You may terminate this Agreement for cause
in the event we do not cure, or create a mutually agreeable action plan to address, a material
breach of this Agreement within the thirty (30) day window set forth in Section H(3).
2.3 Force Majeure. Either party has the right to terminate this Agreement if a Force Majeure event
suspends performance of the SaaS Services for a period of forty-five (45) days or more.
2.4 Lack of Appropriations. If you should not appropriate or otherwise make available funds
sufficient to utilize the SaaS Services, you may unilaterally terminate this Agreement upon thirty
(30) days written notice to us. You will not be entitled to a refund or offset of previously paid,
but unused SaaS Fees. You agree not to use termination for lack of appropriations as a
substitute for termination for convenience.
SECTION G – INDEMNIFICATION, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
1. Intellectual Property Infringement Indemnification.
1.1 We will defend you against any third party claim(s) that the Tyler Software or Documentation
infringes that third party’s patent, copyright, or trademark, or misappropriates its trade secrets,
and will pay the amount of any resulting adverse final judgment (or settlement to which we
consent). You must notify us promptly in writing of the claim and give us sole control over its
defense or settlement. You agree to provide us with reasonable assistance, cooperation, and
information in defending the claim at our expense.
9
1.2 Our obligations under this Section G(1) will not apply to the extent the claim or adverse final
judgment is based on your use of the Tyler Software in contradiction of this Agreement,
including with non-licensed third parties, or your willful infringement.
1.3 If we receive information concerning an infringement or misappropriation claim related to the
Tyler Software, we may, at our expense and without obligation to do so, either: (a) procure for
you the right to continue its use; (b) modify it to make it non-infringing; or (c) replace it with a
functional equivalent, in which case you will stop running the allegedly infringing Tyler Software
immediately. Alternatively, we may decide to litigate the claim to judgment, in which case you
may continue to use the Tyler Software consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
1.4 If an infringement or misappropriation claim is fully litigated and your use of the Tyler Software
is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to paying any adverse final
judgment (or settlement to which we consent), we will, at our option, either: (a) procure the
right to continue its use; (b) modify it to make it non-infringing; or (c) replace it with a functional
equivalent. This section provides your exclusive remedy for third party copyright, patent, or
trademark infringement and trade secret misappropriation claims.
2. General Indemnification.
2.1 We will indemnify and hold harmless you and your agents, officials, and employees from and
against any and all third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees and costs) for (a) personal injury or property damage to the extent
caused by our negligence or willful misconduct; or (b) our violation of PCI-DSS requirements or a
law applicable to our performance under this Agreement. You must notify us promptly in
writing of the claim and give us sole control over its defense or settlement. You agree to
provide us with reasonable assistance, cooperation, and information in defending the claim at
our expense.
2.2 To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify and hold harmless us and our
agents, officials, and employees from and against any and all third-party claims, losses,
liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) for
personal injury or property damage to the extent caused by your negligence or willful
misconduct; or (b) your violation of a law applicable to your performance under this Agreement.

OUR LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON A THEORY
OF CONTRACT OR TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO
10
YOUR ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES, NOT TO EXCEED (A) DURING THE INITIAL TERM, AS SET FORTH
IN SECTION F(1), TOTAL FEES PAID AS OF THE TIME OF THE CLAIM; OR (B) DURING ANY RENEWAL
TERM, THE THEN-CURRENT ANNUAL SAAS FEES PAYABLE IN THAT RENEWAL TERM. THE PARTIES
ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE PRICES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE SET IN

6. Insurance. During the course of performing services under this Agreement, we agree to maintain
the following levels of insurance: (a) Commercial General Liability of at least $1,000,000; (b)

set forth in the Investment Summary for twelve (12) months from the Effective Date by executing a
mutually agreed addendum. If no rate is provided in the Investment Summary, or those twelve (12)
months have expired, you may purchase additional products and services at our then-current list
price, also by executing a mutually agreed addendum. The terms of this Agreement will control any
such additional purchase(s), unless otherwise specifically provided in the addendum.

convene within thirty (30) days of the written dispute notice, unless otherwise agreed. All meetings
and discussions between senior representatives will be deemed confidential settlement discussions
not subject to disclosure under Federal Rule of Evidence 408 or any similar applicable state rule. If

section shall prevent you or us from seeking necessary injunctive relief during the dispute resolution
procedures.

purchase of substantially all of our assets.
9. Force Majeure. Except for your payment obligations, neither party will be liable for delays in
performing its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that the delay is caused by Force

conditions contained in those purchase orders will have no force or effect. This Agreement may

12
12. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement will be considered valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
13. No Waiver. In the event that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are not strictly enforced
by either party, such non-enforcement will not act as or be deemed to act as a waiver or
modification of this Agreement, nor will such non-enforcement prevent such party from enforcing

Exhibit B
Schedule 1
1
Exhibit B
Schedule 1 - Business Travel Policy
1. Air Travel
A. Reservations & Tickets
The Travel Management Company (TMC) used by Tyler will provide an employee with a direct flight
within two hours before or after the requested departure time, assuming that flight does not add
more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration and the fare is within $100 (each way)
of the lowest logical fare. If a net savings of $200 or more (each way) is possible through a
connecting flight that is within two hours before or after the requested departure time and that
does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration, the connecting flight
should be accepted.
Employees are encouraged to make advanced reservations to take full advantage of discount
opportunities. Employees should use all reasonable efforts to make travel arrangements at least
two (2) weeks in advance of commitments. A seven (7) day advance booking requirement is
mandatory. When booking less than seven (7) days in advance, management approval will be
required.
Except in the case of international travel where a segment of continuous air travel is six (6) or more
consecutive hours in length, only economy or coach class seating is reimbursable. Employees shall
not be reimbursed for “Basic Economy Fares” because these fares are non-refundable and have
many restrictions that outweigh the cost-savings.
B. Baggage Fees
Reimbursement of personal baggage charges are based on trip duration as follows:
• Up to five (5) days = one (1) checked bag
• Six (6) or more days = two (2) checked bags
Baggage fees for sports equipment are not reimbursable.
2. Ground Transportation
A. Private Automobile
Mileage Allowance – Business use of an employee’s private automobile will be reimbursed at the
Exhibit B
Schedule 1
2
current IRS allowable rate, plus out of pocket costs for tolls and parking. Mileage will be calculated
by using the employee's office as the starting and ending point, in compliance with IRS regulations.
Employees who have been designated a home office should calculate miles from their home.
B. Rental Car
Employees are authorized to rent cars only in conjunction with air travel when cost, convenience,
and the specific situation reasonably require their use. When renting a car for Tyler business,
employees should select a “mid-size” or “intermediate” car. “Full” size cars may be rented when
three or more employees are traveling together. Tyler carries leased vehicle coverage for business
car rentals; except for employees traveling to Alaska and internationally (excluding Canada),
additional insurance on the rental agreement should be declined.
C. Public Transportation
Taxi or airport limousine services may be considered when traveling in and around cities or to and
from airports when less expensive means of transportation are unavailable or impractical. The
actual fare plus a reasonable tip (15-18%) are reimbursable. In the case of a free hotel shuttle to the
airport, tips are included in the per diem rates and will not be reimbursed separately.
D. Parking & Tolls
When parking at the airport, employees must use longer term parking areas that are measured in
days as opposed to hours. Park and fly options located near some airports may also be used. For
extended trips that would result in excessive parking charges, public transportation to/from the
airport should be considered. Tolls will be reimbursed when receipts are presented.
3. Lodging
Tyler’s TMC will select hotel chains that are well established, reasonable in price, and conveniently
located in relation to the traveler's work assignment. Typical hotel chains include Courtyard,
Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, and Holiday Inn Express. If the employee has a discount rate with a local
hotel, the hotel reservation should note that discount and the employee should confirm the lower
rate with the hotel upon arrival. Employee memberships in travel clubs such as AAA should be
noted in their travel profiles so that the employee can take advantage of any lower club rates.
“No shows” or cancellation fees are not reimbursable if the employee does not comply with the
hotel’s cancellation policy.
Tips for maids and other hotel staff are included in the per diem rate and are not reimbursed
separately.
Employees are not authorized to reserve non-traditional short-term lodging, such as Airbnb, VRBO,
and HomeAway. Employees who elect to make such reservations shall not be reimbursed.
Exhibit B
Schedule 1
3
4. Meals and Incidental Expenses
Employee meals and incidental expenses while on travel status within the continental U.S. are in
accordance with the federal per diem rates published by the General Services Administration.
Incidental expenses include tips to maids, hotel staff, and shuttle drivers and other minor travel
expenses. Per diem rates are available at www.gsa.gov/perdiem.
Per diem for Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. protectorates and international destinations are provided
separately by the Department of State and will be determined as required.
A. Overnight Travel
For each full day of travel, all three meals are reimbursable. Per diems on the first and last day of a
trip are governed as set forth below.

Exhibit C
SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
I. Agreement Overview
This SLA operates in conjunction with, and does not supersede or replace any part of, the Agreement. It
outlines the information technology service levels that we will provide to you to ensure the availability of
the application services that you have requested us to provide. All other support services are documented
in the Support Call Process. This SLA does not apply to any Third Party SaaS Services. All other support
services are documented in the Support Call Process.
II. Definitions. Except as defined below, all defined terms have the meaning set forth in the
Agreement.
Actual Attainment: The percentage of time the Tyler Software is available during a calendar month,
calculated as follows: (Service Availability – Downtime) ÷ Service Availability.
Client Error Incident: Any service unavailability resulting from your applications, content or equipment, or
the acts or omissions of any of your service users or third-party providers over whom we exercise no
control.
Downtime: Those minutes during Service Availability, as defined below, when all users cannot launch,
login, search or save primary data in the Tyler Software. Downtime does not include those instances in
which only a Defect is present.
Emergency Maintenance Window: (1) maintenance that is required to patch a critical security
vulnerability; (2) maintenance that is required to prevent an imminent outage of Service Availability; or
(3) maintenance that is mutually agreed upon in writing by Tyler and the Client.
Planned Downtime: Downtime that occurs during a Standard or Emergency Maintenance window.
Service Availability: The total number of minutes in a calendar month that the Tyler Software is capable
of receiving, processing, and responding to requests, excluding Planned Downtime, Client Error Incidents,
denial of service attacks and Force Majeure. Service Availability only applies to Tyler Software being used
in the live production environment.
Standard Maintenance: Routine maintenance to the Tyler Software and infrastructure. Standard
Maintenance is limited to five (5) hours per week.
III. Service Availability
a. Your Responsibilities
Whenever you experience Downtime, you must make a support call according to the procedures outlined
in the Support Call Process. You will receive a support case number.
b. Our Responsibilities
Exhibit C
2
When our support team receives a call from you that Downtime has occurred or is occurring, we will work
with you to identify the cause of the Downtime (including whether it may be the result of Planned
Downtime, a Client Error Incident, denial of service attack or Force Majeure). We will also work with you
to resume normal operations.
c. Client Relief
Our targeted Attainment Goal is 100%. You may be entitled to credits as indicated in the Client Relief
Schedule found below. Your relief credit is calculated as a percentage of the SaaS Fees paid for the
calendar month.
In order to receive relief credits, you must submit a request through one of the channels listed in our
Support Call Process within fifteen days (15) of the end of the applicable month. We will respond to your
relief request within thirty (30) day(s) of receipt.
The total credits confirmed by us will be applied to the SaaS Fee for the next billing cycle. Issuing of such
credit does not relieve us of our obligations under the Agreement to correct the problem which created
the service interruption.
Credits are only payable when Actual Attainment results in eligibility for credits in consecutive months
and only for such consecutive months.
Client Relief Schedule
Actual Attainment Client Relief
99.99% - 98.00% Remedial action will be taken
97.99% - 95.00% 4%
Below 95.00% 5%
IV. Maintenance Notifications
We perform Standard Maintenance during limited windows that are historically known to be reliably
low-traffic times. If and when maintenance is predicted to occur during periods of higher traffic, we will
provide advance notice of those windows and will coordinate to the greatest extent possible with you.
Not all maintenance activities will cause application unavailability. However, if Tyler anticipates that
activities during a Standard or Emergency Maintenance window may make the Tyler Software
unavailable, we will provide advance notice, as reasonably practicable, that the Tyler Software will be
unavailable during the maintenance window.

Schedule 1 - Support Call Process
Support Channels
Tyler Technologies, Inc. provides the following channels of software support for authorized users*:
(1) On-line submission (portal) – for less urgent and functionality-based questions, users may create
support incidents through the Tyler Customer Portal available at the Tyler Technologies website.
A built-in Answer Panel provides users with resolutions to most “how-to” and configuration-
based questions through a simplified search interface with machine learning, potentially
eliminating the need to submit the support case.
(2) Email – for less urgent situations, users may submit emails directly to the software support
group.
(3) Telephone – for urgent or complex questions, users receive toll-free, telephone software
support.
* Channel availability may be limited for certain applications.
Support Resources
A number of additional resources are available to provide a comprehensive and complete support
experience:
(1) Tyler Website – www.tylertech.com – for accessing client tools, documentation, and other
information including support contact information.
(2) Tyler Search -a knowledge based search engine that lets you search multiple sources
simultaneously to find the answers you need, 24x7.
(3) Tyler Community –provides a venue for all Tyler clients with current maintenance agreements to
collaborate with one another, share best practices and resources, and access documentation.
(4) Tyler University – online training courses on Tyler products.
Support Availability
Tyler Technologies support is available during the local business hours of 8 AM to 5 PM (Monday –
Friday) across four US time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern). Tyler’s holiday schedule is
outlined below. There will be no support coverage on these days.
New Year’s Day Labor Day
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Thanksgiving Day
Memorial Day Day after Thanksgiving
Independence Day Christmas Day
For support teams that provide after-hours service, we will provide you with procedures for contacting
support staff after normal business hours for reporting Priority Level 1 Defects only. Upon receipt of
such a Defect notification, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the resolution targets
Exhibit C
Schedule 1
2
set forth below.
We will also make commercially reasonable efforts to be available for one pre-scheduled Saturday of
each month to assist your IT staff with applying patches and release upgrades, as well as consulting with
them on server maintenance and configuration of the Tyler Software environment.
Incident Handling
Incident Tracking
Every support incident is logged into Tyler’s Customer Relationship Management System and given a
unique case number. This system tracks the history of each incident. The case number is used to track
and reference open issues when clients contact support. Clients may track incidents, using the case
number, through Tyler’s Customer Portal or by calling software support directly.
Incident Priority
Each incident is assigned a priority level, which corresponds to the Client’s needs. Tyler and the Client
will reasonably set the priority of the incident per the chart below. This chart is not intended to address
every type of support incident, and certain “characteristics” may or may not apply depending on
whether the Tyler software has been deployed on customer infrastructure or the Tyler cloud. The goal is
to help guide the Client towards clearly understanding and communicating the importance of the issue
and to describe generally expected response and resolution targets in the production environment only.
References to a “confirmed support incident” mean that Tyler and the Client have successfully validated
the reported Defect/support incident.
Priority
Level Characteristics of Support Incident Resolution Targets*
1
Critical
Support incident that causes (a)
complete application failure or
application unavailability; (b)
application failure or unavailability in
one or more of the client’s remote
location; or (c) systemic loss of
multiple essential system functions.
Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level
1 incidents within one (1) business hour of receipt of
the incident. Once the incident has been confirmed,
Tyler shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
resolve such support incidents or provide a
circumvention procedure within one (1) business
day. For non-hosted customers, Tyler’s responsibility
for lost or corrupted data is limited to assisting the
Client in restoring its last available database.
Exhibit C
Schedule 1
3
Priority
Level Characteristics of Support Incident Resolution Targets*
2
High
Support incident that causes (a)
repeated, consistent failure of
essential functionality affecting more
than one user or (b) loss or corruption
of data.
Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level
2 incidents within four (4) business hours of receipt of
the incident. Once the incident has been confirmed,
Tyler shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
resolve such support incidents or provide a
circumvention procedure within ten (10) business
days. For non-hosted customers, Tyler’s
responsibility for loss or corrupted data is limited to
assisting the Client in restoring its last available
database.
3
Medium
Priority Level 1 incident with an
existing circumvention procedure, or
a Priority Level 2 incident that affects
only one user or for which there is an
existing circumvention procedure.

the incident. Once the incident has been confirmed,
Tyler shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
resolve such support incidents without the need for a
circumvention procedure with the next published
maintenance update or service pack, which shall
occur at least quarterly. For non-hosted customers,
Tyler’s responsibility for lost or corrupted data is
limited to assisting the Client in restoring its last
available database.
4
Non-
critical
Support incident that causes failure of
non-essential functionality or a
cosmetic or other issue that does not
qualify as any other Priority Level.
Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level
4 incidents within two (2) business days of receipt of
the incident. Once the incident has been confirmed,
Tyler shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
resolve such support incidents, as well as cosmetic
issues, with a future version release.
*Response and Resolution Targets may differ by product or business need
Incident Escalation
If Tyler is unable to resolve any priority level 1 or 2 defect as listed above or the priority of an issue has
elevated since initiation, you may escalate the incident to the appropriate resource, as outlined by each
product support team. The corresponding resource will meet with you and any Tyler staff to establish a
mutually agreeable plan for addressing the defect.
Remote Support Tool
Some support calls may require further analysis of the Client’s database, processes or setup to diagnose
a problem or to assist with a question. Tyler will, at its discretion, use an industry-standard remote
support tool. Tyler’s support team must have the ability to quickly connect to the Client’s system and
view the site’s setup, diagnose problems, or assist with screen navigation. More information about the
remote support tool Tyler uses is available upon request.

Dear Commissioners,
I am writing to express my interest in serving in the open position on the Board of Trustees for
Timberland Regional Library (TRL). I possess a deep appreciation for the critical role that
libraries play in our county and region.
Growing up in Aberdeen, my access to several local library branches opened opportunities for
exploration and learning. It would be an honor to contribute my time, expertise, and passion to
support the success, sustainability, and growth of Timberland Regional Library to ensure that
current and future generations reap the benefits of everything it has to offer.
The majority of my career has been dedicated to lowering barriers to accessing information and
opportunity. In this work, I have held numerous national, state, and local leadership roles to
support digital equity and broadband access. This has included numerous initiatives to suppo rt
libraries in the role of promoting the use of the Internet to advance community access to
information and opportunity. I believe that this background positions me well to provide
meaningful contributions to support TRL in growing and evolving to continue to meet the needs
of our communities and provide a vibrant world of possibilities.
If appointed to the Board of Trustees, I am committed to contributing my time and efforts to
work collaboratively with fellow trustees, library staff, and community members to contribute to
the policies and strategic goals for Timberland Regional Library. I believe that my skills and
experience can support the library system in its efforts to connect our communities to
opportunities that promote literacy, education, and so much more!
Thank you for this opportunity to express my interest in this position. I would be happy to
discuss this opportunity and my prospective role further, as the Commissioners see fit. I am
eager to contribute to the continued success of Timberland Regional Library, and I am confident
that my contributions will benefit the library system and communities throughout our region.
Sincerely,
Dustin Loup

priority, which contributes to full staffing and the effective operations of both offices.

Solid Waste Long Haul Transport and Disposal Contract
Background/Executive Summary:
Mason County initiated a normal bidding process to solicit bids for the transport and disposal of solid waste.
Two proposals were submitted. Both were deemed to be conforming and the Board authorized staff to proceed
with negotiating with Mason County Garbage, Inc. As staff proceeded, it became apparent that it is in the
County’s best interest to enter into two agreements – one for transport and another for the disposal, rather than
one agreement for both services.
Counties may enter into contracts for the hauling of trailers of solid waste from their transfer stations to
disposal sites and return by either the normal bidding process or negotiation with the collection company
servicing the area per RCW 36.58.050. The County could readvertise; however, staff recommends the
following:
1.Deem the response from Mason County Garbage, Inc. as “non-conforming”.
2.Proceed with direct contract negotiations with the certificate holder, Mason County Garbage, Inc.
3.Proceed with executing an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with Cowlitz County.
4.Extend the Public Hearing to Tuesday, February 13, 2024 at 9:15 a.m.
Budget Impact (amount, funding source, budget amendment):
Impacts are unknown; last year approximately $3.1 million was spent to haul and dispose of solid waste.
Public Outreach (news release, community meeting, etc.):
A notice of a Public Hearing announcement was first published July 20 and 27, 2023 in the Shelton-Mason
County Journal and republished on December 14 and 21, 2023 in the Shelton-Mason County Journal.
Requested Action:
Approval to deem the response from Mason County Garbage, Inc. as “non-conforming”; authorize staff to
proceed with direct contract negotiations with the certificate holder, Mason County Garbage, Inc.; authorize
staff to finalize an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with Cowlitz County; and to extend the Solid Waste Long Haul
Transport and Disposal Public Hearing to Tuesday, February 13, 2024 at 9:15 a.m.
