Federal Law on Firearms Federal law prohibits users of controlled substances from possessing firearms. 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3). Cannabis remains a controlled substance under federal law. 18 U.S.C. § 812. Federal regulations provide that current use of controlled substances may be inferred from evidence of recent use, possession, or a pattern of use or possession. 27 C.F.R. §478.11. Furthermore, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, an agency of the U.S.Department of Justice, stated in an Open Letter September 21, 2011 that any person in possession of cannabis is prohibited by federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition. In addition, it is illegal under federal law to carry or use a firearm in furtherance of a federal drug trafficking crime, which includes selling cannabis. 18 U.S.C. § 924(c). CAUTION: Federal law prohibits the possession of firearms by any person on premises where cannabis is present or being transported. Persons who are prohibited by federal law from possessing a firearm may be prosecuted in federal court. A state license is not a defense to a federal prosecution under federal firearms laws or the federal Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. Chapter 13. Disclaimer This notice regarding federal laws is not intended to provide legal advice nor does it provide a legal defense to a violation of any federal laws or rules. Licensees are advised to consult an attorney if they have questions or concerns regarding federal laws.

Mark Mason County Building I Neary and McKenzie Smith 411 North Fifth Street Shelton, WA 98584-3400 RE: Request for consultation for the Bremerton—Mason County Sewer Expansion Project Dear Commissioners Neatherlin, Shutty and Trask: The Squaxin Island Tribe(the"Tribe")has serious concerns about the Bremerton—Mason County Sewer Expansion Project (the "Project") and requests government-to-government consultation with Mason County before any further steps are taken to move the Project forward. The Squaxin Island Tribe is a federally recognized Indian tribe located in Southern Puget Sound in Mason County, Washington with treaty rights to harvest fish and shellfish, "at their usual and accustomed fishing places in the shallow bays,estuaries, inlets and open Sound of Southern Puget Sound and in the freshwater streams and creeks draining into those inlets."' The Tribe's cultural and economic well-being depend upon sufficient clean water to support abundant and sustainable fisheries. Protecting water quality, ecosystem function, and salmon populations in this area is critical to maintaining the Tribe's traditional lifeways and the exercise of its federal Treaty rights. In 2021, Squaxin Island Natural Resources staff began requesting information and leadership level consultation on the Project, but no outreach was forthcoming from Mason County. Executive Order 21-02 (the "Order") requires delegated non-state recipients of state funds, to "consult with . . . affected tribes on the potential effects of projects on cultural resources proposed in state- funded construction . . . including grant or pass-through funding that culminates in construction or land acquisitions, to determine potential effects to cultural resources." The Order further states that consultation should be with "affected tribes early in the project planning process" and must be completed "prior to the expenditure of any state funds for construction, demolition or acquisition." Finally, the Order dictates that all reasonable action should be taken "to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects to . . . traditional cultural places,sacred sites or other cultural resources." Thus, leadership level consultation between the Tribe and Mason County must occur before the Project moves forward. See generally United States v.Washington,384 F.Supp.312,378(W.D.Wash. 1974);United States v. Washington,459 F.Supp. 1020(W.D.Wash. 1978) SQUAXIN ISLAND TRIBE / 10 S.E. Squaxin Lane / Shelton, WA 98584 / Phone (360) 426-9781 Fax (360) 426-6577 www.squaxinisland.org The Squaxin Island Tribe has serious concerns about the adverse effects that the Project could have on the Tribe's traditional cultural places and other cultural resources, particularly salmon.2 One of these resources is Coulter Creek, a prized salmon stream. Due to the absence of development in the watershed and the clean groundwater that feeds the stream, Coulter Creek is a high-quality salmon stream. These attributes make Coulter Creek an important spawning and rearing habitat for chum and coho salmon and cutthroat trout. The Creek is also the source stream for a Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife hatchery at Hwy 302. This hatchery is used as a holding facility for juvenile chinook that are harvested as adults by Tribal members, providing essential mitigation for the loss of the Tribe's traditional fisheries. The body of earth to which the Belfair Water Reclamation Facility discharges is finite and adjacent to Coulter Creek. The Tribe has concerns regarding the quality of source water from the Puget Sound Industrial Center (the "PSIC"), which includes the Bremerton Airport. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") and other flame retardants are known to contaminate groundwater and wells at airports. To evaluate the impacts of the Project, the Tribe would need information about current or potential PSIC tenants,any source water control agreements between Mason County and PSIC or PSIC tenants, a characterization of unregulated chemicals in wastewater from the PSIC,and data showing the additional nitrogen load to Coulter Creek. While we recognize that reclaimed water can, in some circumstances, benefit a watershed, we do not currently have enough information about the PSIC wastewater load to engage in an informed risk/benefit analysis. In addition to water quality, the Tribe is concerned about the inter-basin transfer of water from PSIC to the'Belfair Water Reclamation Facility. This transfer would move water from the Gorst Creek, Parish Creek, and Union River basins into the Coulter Creek basin. Inter-basin transfers involve mixing or co-mingling diverse water sources,which creates a high likelihood of sediment and pollutant cross-contamination. As a basic principle of watershed management,it is the Tribe's policy to protect the integrity of each watershed's unique characteristics rather than allow inter- basin transfers of water. The Bremerton—Mason County Sewer Expansion Project poses serious risks to the Tribe's Treaty Resources, including a change to the groundwater, surface water, and water quality of Coulter Creek and its tributaries. The Tribe requests government-to-government consultation with Mason County before any further steps are taken to move the Project forward.

All county departments/taxing districts may participate—based on the approval of the county treasurer. Pursuant to RCW 36.29.010, .... The Treasurer may in cases where there are insufficient funds .........using such funds as not necessary for immediate expenditure, contract with the county or any other taxing district................ Therefore, there is no guarantee that the county will have funds available to cover negative cash flows for county departments/taxing districts. County departments/taxing districts will need to make other financial arrangements (i.e. bank loan, internal fund loan) in advance,before issuing warrants, if the county treasurer is unable to meet their needs. The Treasurer's Office may set a limit on the amount to be loaned to each department/taxing-district based on the needs of that department/taxing district and the cash flow of the county available to do so. The Treasurer will notify the Finance Committee via email or other communication within 24 hours when the amount of any contract/promissory note/contract exceeds $1,000,000.00. The Treasurer will report to the Finance Committee at least quarterly the amount of contract/promissory note/loan-held as investments by the county. Such contract/promissory note/loan will be redeemed-by the county treasurer on behalf of the county department/taxing district on or before the last working day of the month or 31 days in which the promissory note was issued. The Treasurer has the authority to extend the redemption period, only after reviewing such circumstances as laid out in writing by the county department/district and such extension meets the investment objectives of the county investment policy. The Treasurer will notify the Finance Committee via email or other communication within 24 hours if the Treasurer has extended the redemption period for more than 30 days.

D. Review, Inspection and Construction of Sewer Facilities. Prior to the construction, installation and operation of any public sewer facility or any private sewer facility governed by the provision of this chapter, property owners or their agents who are responsible for the construction shall be required to obtain a building sewer permit,as specified in Section 13.04-3-1.050,and pay all required fees and charges. E. Defects.The department may require the party or entity responsible for the construction to demonstrate satisfactory completion of all sewer lines installed by or on behalf of the owner. If defects are discovered by the county,the party responsible for the construction shall undertake and will be responsible for incurring all costs for repairing all defects. F. Inspection. 1. For approval of the permit required by this chapter,the director or his/her designee shall be authorized to enter upon easement premises served by any building sewer or grinder pump installation or connected with any public sewer at all reasonable hours to ascertain, inspect or make necessary tests to determine whether the provisions of local,state and federal laws relative to sewerage have been complied with. In the event entry is refused,the department may apply for a search warrant to accomplish the appropriate inspection. Regardless of whether a search warrant can be obtained, if the Mason County,Washington,Code of Ordinances Created: 2021-12-29 14:27:41 [EST] (Supp. No.57, 11-21) Page 12 of 115 Title 13-UTILITIES Chapter 13.08 PUBLIC WORKS STANDARDS director has reason to believe that a violation of applicable provisions of local,state or federal laws relative to sewerage may exist,the department shall have the right to terminate the connection of the property to the public sewer facilities. 2. If such sewer,or its attachments,are in conflict with the provisions of any law or resolution in regard thereto,the property owner or his/her agent shall be notified to cause such sewer or its attachments to be so altered, repaired or reconstructed at the owner's expense,so as to make them conform to the requirements of the laws and resolutions within a reasonable time limit established by the director from the time of receipt of such notice. 3. Every employee of the department being authorized to enter upon private property to inspect or have charge or maintaining the public sewer facilities of the department shall be furnished with means of identification and shall carry such identification at all times when engaged upon the duties of his/her position and produce and exhibit the same upon request. (Res. No.04-12, Exh. 1, 1-10-2012) 13.04.050 Permits. A. Permits Required. No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connection with or opening into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer facilities or appurtenance thereof or construct any sewer disposal system without first obtaining a written permit from the department or other responsible agency.This article covers both permits for gravity sewer connections and grinder pump installation for the service area. B. Building Sewer Permits.There shall be two classes of building sewer permits: (a)for single-family residential service;and (b)for multifamily or nonresidential service. In either case,the property owner or his/her agent shall make application on a form furnished by the county.A building sewer permit shall be required of any owner of the lots, parcel of real estate or structure(s)either required or electing to make a connection to a public sewer or make a modification, repair,disconnection,inspection or addition to an existing building sewer.The appropriate permit fees shall be paid to the county at the time the application is filed. Upon acquisition of the building sewer permit and payment of the connection fee,the owner shall receive a "blue card" authorizing construction and connection. C. Building Sewer Permit—Term.A building sewer permit is valid for twelve months from the date of issuance. The building sewer permit may be extended an additional twelve months at the discretion of the director. If after twenty-four months,the building sewer permit expires but the owner still wishes to connect owner's property to a sewer,the owner must obtain a new permit and pay the county another full permit fee unless circumstances, in the judgment of the director,warrant an exception. If a building sewer permit is cancelled by the owner,the permit fee shall not be refunded but forfeited. In addition,the owner shall pay the difference between the originally paid CFC and the CFC in effect at the time the new building sewer permit fee is obtained. D. Building Sewer Permit Requirements.A building sewer permit shall be obtained in the following manner: 1. Permits shall be issued only upon proper application to the Mason County Department of Utilities and Waste Management. 2. A permit which authorizes work in a public right-of-way or easement dedicated to Mason County or the connection with or opening into any public sewer other than through the normal opening of a wye,tee or side sewer stub shall be issued to a licensed contractor. 3. A permit which authorizes building sewer work may be issued to the owner of the property. For building sewer as defined in Section 13.0431-.020 of this code,the owner may perform only that portion of the connection located on private property and not in public right-of-way or easement dedicated to the county. 4. Building sewer permits shall not be transferable. No person shall lay any pipe pursuant to any other person's or contractor's permit.

A permit shall be issued prior to commencement of construction and only after all applicable charges and fees have been paid to the department by the owner or developer. 6. No permit allowing connection to the public sewer shall be issued before the main sewer is accepted by the director, and the property owner so notified.An interim approval allowing building sewer construction without connection to a nonoperational sewer may be issued at the discretion of the director. 7. The permit card must be posted on the job prior to commencing the work and must be readily accessible to the director. (Res. No.04-12, Exh. 1, 1-10-2012) 13.04.060 Grinder pumps in designated low-pressure sewer areas. A. Low-Pressure Sewer Installations in Designated Areas.The sewer system has been designed for properties in designated areas to be served by low-pressure sewers for the convenience and economy of the overall system. Because of this design, properties in these areas are required to have a grinder pump in order to pump sewage from the property to the sewer mains.The department will notify property owners if their properties are in a designated low-pressure sewer area and are required to have a grinder pump for the convenience and economy of the overall system. B. Responsibility for Grinder Pumps.The provisions in this section shall apply only to properties in designated low-pressure sewer areas for which grinder pumps are required for the convenience and economy of the overall system.A summary of this division of responsibilities is shown in Figure A(below). 1. For Single-Family Residential Structures:The property owner shall be responsible for acquiring and installing an approved grinder pump with the appropriate electrical circuit,subject to the inspection and approval of the county.The county will maintain the pump as part of the overall system. Appropriate grinder pumps may be purchased from the county by the property owner. 2. For Multifamily or Commercial Structures,The property owner shall be responsible for providing, installing, and maintaining an approved grinder pump with the appropriate electrical circuit,sublect to the inspection and approval of the county. 3. In All Cases: Property owners shall be responsible for the cost of electricity serving the grinder pump. Property owners shall also provide the county with right-of-entry documents for any properties served with a grinder pump to allow the county to properly inspect and (when applicable) maintain the pump.

(Res. No.04-12, Exh. 1, 1-10-2012) 13.04.070 Fees and Costs A. Permit Fees and Costs. 1. At the time of application for a building sewer permit,or if an applicant seeks to connect to the sewer system,the applicant shall apply for a building sewer permit(blue card)and shall pay to the county a permit fee together with connection charges and/or other applicable charges(including grinder pump charges), if any, required by this chapter. If the permit is not issued,the permit fee,grinder pump charge and connection charges shall be refunded. a. For single-family residential structures,the building sewer permit fee shall be one hundred fifty dollars. b. For multifamily or commercial structures,the building sewer permit fee shall be seventy-five dollars per hour of staff time plus the out-of-pocket costs incurred by the department in reviewing, inspecting,and meeting about the permit application.The minimum fee is one hundred fifty dollars,which must be paid at the time of application.After the actual amount of the fee is determined,the additional charge must be paid before the permit is issued. 2. A sewer design review fee shall be charged for design review services provided by department staff when an application is submitted for a large subdivision,short subdivision,or boundary line adjustment.The sewer design review fee shall be seventy-five dollars per hour of staff time plus the out-of-pocket costs incurred by the department in reviewing, inspecting,and meeting about the application.The minimum fee is one hundred fifty dollars,which must be paid at the time of application.After the actual amount of the fee is determined,the additional charge must be paid before the subdivision or boundary line adjustment is approved. 3. Except as provided in Section 13.04.051,grinder pumps in designated low-pressure sewer areas,all costs and expenses incidental to the installation and connection to the sanitary sewer system whether it be gravity or grinder pump connection,shall be borne by the property owner, including costs associated with decommissioning the existing septic tank or other on-site wastewater treatment system. 4. If sewer service by grinder pump is not required by the county, but desirable for the convenience and economy of the property owner,and if it is allowed by the director,the property owner shall either purchase a grinder pump approved by the county or purchase the pump directly from the county. If the pump is purchased from the county,the cost to the owner shall be the actual costs paid by the county for Mason County,Washington,Code of Ordinances Created: 2021-12-29 14:27:41 [EST] (Supp. No.57, 11-21) Page 15 of 115 Title 13-UTILITIES Chapter 13.08 PUBLIC WORKS STANDARDS the grinder pump, including tax.The owner shall be responsible for the cost of installing and maintaining the pump and for the cost of electrical power to serve the pump. Owners shall be required to provide right-of-entry documents for any properties served with a grinder pump. 5. If department personnel or resources are required to repair or assist in the repair of a grinder pump whose maintenance is not the responsibility of the county,the department shall charge the property owner seventy-five dollars per hour of staff time plus out-of-pocket costs. If a pump whose maintenance is the responsibility of the county is damaged due to the actions or negligence of the property owner,the property owner shall reimburse the department for all repair or replacement costs, including seventy-five dollars per hour for applicable employee time. 6. A reinspection fee of seventy-five dollars per additional visit shall be charged when more than one inspection is required for the county to determine if the property is properly connected to the public sewer system,and if the septic system or other on-site wastewater treatment facilities have been Properly disconnected. B. Capital Facilities Charge(CFC)—Intent.Consistent with RCW 36.94.140,and subject to the exceptions stated in this section,the intent of the capital facilities charge is to recover the full cost of capacity,which is defined as the projected total capital cost of the sewer system at full build-out, net of grants and property owner capital contributions(such as utility local improvement district assessments or the value of sewer infrastructure paid for by developers and donated to the system), divided by the number of ERUs projected to be served by the system at full build-out.The calculation of the CFC shall only include capital costs to develop or expand the system, not to renovate or repair an existing system.The estimated full cost of capacity is expected to be updated periodically in order to reflect updated cost and ERU growth protections and to incorporate accrued interest for up to ten years for infrastructure already built. C. Capital Facilities Charge Required.A capital facilities charge shall be paid to the county before any structure is connected to public sewer facilities. No building sewer permit shall be issued prior to the application for a building permit. No building permit shall be issued until all capital facilities charges have been paid in full, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.The capital facilities charge per ERU for a given parcel shall be the amounts set forth in Sections 13.04.060G.and 13.04.060H. D. Residential ERUs. 1. The amount of annual water consumption defined as an ERU shall be referred to as the standard water consumption.The standard water consumption shall be two hundred gallons per day, equivalent to seven thousand five hundred sixty-four cubic feet of water per year. 2. Subject to the exceptions stated in this section,each freestanding single-family residential structure shall be charged one ERU for sewer service. 3. Subject to the exceptions stated in this section, if more than one freestanding single-family residential structure is located on one tax parcel,each structure shall count as one ERU. 4. Multifamily uses are defined as two or more dwelling units in one structure.The number of ERUs for a multifamily structure shall be defined as the number of dwelling units multiplied by-1.0. 5. Where a legally permitted home occupation takes place within a residence,the structure shall be treated as a residential use for the purposes of determining ERUs,and not as a commercial use. 6. Where an ancillary residential structure depends on a primary residence for access to bathroom and/or kitchen plumbing fixtures,the director or his designee shall consider the ancillary structure to be part of the primary residence for the purpose of determining ERUs. 7. Where a single-family structure of four hundred square feet or less(exterior dimensions) is located on a parcel with another residential or commercial structure,the single-family structure of four hundred square feet or less shall be counted as a multifamily dwelling unit.Where common ownership and a shared water meter exist,the director or his designee may consider adjacent parcels to be functionally equivalent to one parcel for the purpose of determining the applicability of this provision. 8. A manufactured housing community,as defined in RCW 59.20.030, may elect to have its residential structures treated as a group,even if the manufactured homes are located on separate parcels and/or Mason County,Washington,Code of Ordinances Created: 2021-12-29 14:27:41 [EST] (Supp. No.57, 11-21) Page 16 of 115 Title 13-UTILITIES Chapter 13.08 PUBLIC WORKS STANDARDS have separate water meters. If the manufactured housing community elects to be treated as a group, upon written notice of such election, it shall be billed as a single customer,and its residential structures shall be counted as multifamily dwelling units. If the manufactured housing community as a whole becomes delinquent,as defined by Section 13.31.090C.,the director may revoke the group status, and upon written notice of such determination,each manufactured home will be counted and billed as a single-family residential structure going forward. E. Commercial ERUs. 1. The minimum number of ERUs for commercial accounts shall be one ERU for each sewered structure. Where a given commercial structure has multiple leasable tenant spaces with separate plumbing fixtures,the minimum number of ERUs shall be one ERU for each leasable tenant space. 2. For a multiple-tenant commercial structure in which all leasable tenant spaces share common plumbing fixtures(such as an office building with shared restrooms and shared kitchen facilities),the minimum number of ERUs is defined as 0.5 multiplied by the number of leasable tenant spaces. For a multiple-tenant commercial structure in which some leasable tenant spaces have separate plumbing fixtures and others rely entirely on shared plumbing fixtures,the minimum number of ERUs is defined as the number of leasable tenant spaces with any separate plumbing fixtures, plus 0.5 multiplied by the number of leasable tenant spaces relying entirely on shared plumbing fixtures. 3. Where water consumption data can be obtained,the number of ERUs for an account shall be defined as the greater of: (a)the minimum ERUs for that account,or(b)the account's total water consumption for the previous year divided by the standard water consumption for single-family residential accounts, rounded off to the nearest one-tenth of an ERU. 4. If actual monthly water consumption for a commercial account is not available,the number of ERUs for a commercial account shall be based on the type and scale of business(es)occupying the parcel,applying the categories shown in Figure B(below).The estimates in Figure B(below) may be updated as necessary by the director to reflect actual experience with similar types of businesses in Belfair or updated guidelines from state or federal governments, professional associations,or other utilities about standard water consumption by property use. If Figure B is updated,the updated version will be published on the county Web site. 5. When the categories in Figure B(below)are used to estimate the commercial ERUs for a given commercial or mixed-use parcel with more than one sewered structure or more than one leasable tenant space,the number of ERUs shall be the sum of the estimated ERUs for each leasable tenant space within each sewered structure. Commercial leasable tenant spaces relying entirely on shared plumbing fixtures shall be calculated as 0.5 times the number of ERUs shown in Figure B(below),with the total for the entire account rounded off to the nearest one-tenth of an ERU. 6. For mixed-use parcels with both commercial and residential uses,where water consumption data is available,the number of commercial ERUs shall be the greater of: (a)the minimum number of commercial ERUs;or(b)the number of ERUs determined from the total water consumption for the entire parcel minus the number of residential ERUs. 7. If a commercial account relies on a well for drinking water in place of being connected to a water system, the categories in Figure B(below)shall be used to estimate its ERUs. If a commercial account relies partly on a well and partly on the water system, metered water consumption shall be the basis of the ERU calculation for those structures connected to the water system,and there shall be additional ERUs calculated for structures receiving drinking water from a well, using Figure B(below). If a well is used only for irrigation water, no ERUs will be assigned to water from that well. 8. Tentative ERUs. If water conservation improvements have been made to an existing structure that are expected to reduce its impact on the sewer system, but there has not been enough time to demonstrate the amount of the reduction,the director may assign a tentative ERU figure based on estimated water use, provided that the property owner agrees to provide actual water consumption data for a long enough period to establish a final ERU figure.Tentative ERUs may also be used for new development in Mason County,Washington,Code of Ordinances Created: 2021-12-29 14:27:41 [EST] (Supp. No.57, 11-21) Page 17 of 115 Title 13-UTILITIES Chapter 13.08 PUBLIC WORKS STANDARDS cases where, in the director's judgment,there is substantial uncertainty about the impact that a given proposed development will have on the sewer system.The tentative ERU assignment shall be replaced by a final ERU assignment as soon as there is a full year of valid water consumption data with the structure at full occupancy. If the actual water consumption is greater than the level implied by the tentative ERU figure,the property shall be charged the difference in both CFC and monthly sewer charges,dating back to the month when the tentative ERU figure was first used, plus interest accrued at five percent per year. If the actual water consumption is less than the level implied by the tentative ERU figure,the property shall be refunded the difference in both CFC and monthly sewer charges,dating back to the month when the tentative ERU figure was first used, plus interest accrued at five percent per year. 9. Changes in tenancy. If a commercial leasable tenant space becomes vacant,or its occupancy changes to a new tenant,the property owner shall notify the department of the change within thirty days of the change.This notification shall use a form to be determined by the department and shall include payment of the ten dollar fee described in Section 13.31.090D.The notification shall contain sufficient information about the new tenant for the department to determine the ERUs applicable to the account, using Figure B (below). If the change in tenancy results in a changed ERU for the account,the change in monthly sewer charges shall take effect with the next monthly bill.Vacant tenant spaces shall be counted at the minimum ERU. If a property owner fails to notify the department within thirty days of a change in tenancy that has the effect of increasing the ERUs for the account,the property owner shall be responsible for a one hundred fifty dollar penalty, plus the difference in monthly sewer charges dating to the change in tenancy, plus five percent interest per year on the outstanding difference in monthly sewer charges.

G. Capital Facilities Charges.The county shall charge a one-time CFC an amount that is reviewed and approved by the Board of County Commissioners on an annual basis. H. Monthly Sewer Charge.The county shall charge all parcels connected to the public sewer facilities a monthly sewer charge: Monthly service charge rate will be reviewed and approved by the Board of County Commissioners on an annual basis.The county shall bill the monthly sewer charge in the manner set forth in Section 13.04.090, billing. (Res. No.04-12, Exh. 1, 1-10-2012;Ord. No. 119-19, 12-3-2019) (Res. No.04-12, Exh. 1, 1-10-2012) 13.04.080 ERU updates, capacity rental charges, strength charges. A. Updating ERU Estimates. 1. The number of ERUs used to calculate the monthly sewer charges for a given commercial or mixed-use parcel will be updated on an annual basis and based upon the most recent data available on water consumption. 2. If updated water consumption data is not available, historical metered water consumption data shall take precedence over the estimated ERUs in Section 13.04.060F.—Figure B, as the basis of ERU calculations; provided that the property use or intensity of development has not changed. In general, absent a change in property use or intensity of development,the source of data of the commercial ERU calculation is intended to be, in priority order: (1) immediate past year's metered water consumption; (2) historical metered water consumption;and (3)Section 13.04.060F.—Figure B. 3. When property redevelopment or changes in tenant use increases the number of ERUs estimated for a given parcel,the property owner shall pay a CFC consisting of the number of incremental ERUs multiplied by the then-current CFC per ERU. B. Capacity Rental Charges. 1. Regardless of whether there has been property redevelopment or changes in tenant use, if the most recent annual water consumption information for a given commercial or mixed-use parcel is higher than the water consumption determined by the number of ERUs for which CFCs have been paid, and if the increase is at least the standard amount of water consumption currently defined as one ERU,then the county may calculate an additional monthly charge equivalent to a CFC on the incremental ERUs. This additional monthly charge shall be referred to as a "capacity rental charge." 2. Property owners may at any time elect to buy additional ERUs of capacity rights(thus foregoing the capacity rental charge) by paying a CFC at then-current rates for the incremental number of ERUs. 3. If the county adjusts the standard water consumption used to define one ERU,a "rebasing factor"will be calculated and applied to the original number of ERUs of CFCs paid in order to create an adjusted number of ERUs of CFCs paid for each property.The rebasing factor will be the old standard water consumption divided by the new standard water consumption. For the purpose of implementing the capacity rental charge,the number of ERUs for which a given property owner has purchased capacity Mason County,Washington,Code of Ordinances Created: 2021-12-29 14:27:41 [EST] (Supp. No.57, 11-21) Page 19 of 115 Title 13-UTILITIES Chapter 13.08 PUBLIC WORKS STANDARDS rights shall be defined as the greater of: (a)the number of ERUs of capacity rights after applying the adjustment factor,or(b)the number of ERUs of CFCs actually paid. 4. Except as provided in Section 13.03.060E.8.,tentative ERUs,once a property has been connected to the sewer, refunds of CFCs may be given only if there have been technical errors in the original ERU calculation,and not for changes in water consumption. C. Adjustments to Water Consumption Data. 1. If a property owner elects to install a deduct meter or an irrigation-only meter as approved by the director at the property owner's own expense that measures irrigation-only use,the irrigation water shall be subtracted from the annual water consumption upon which the ERUs are calculated. 2. Until January 1,2014, if a property owner requests an adjustment in the calculation of annual water consumption due to seasonal irrigation,and if the parcel does not experience a summer seasonal peak in indoor water consumption for that parcel,the county may, in its discretion,substitute the average off-peak water consumption for the measured peak-month consumption when calculating the ERUs. Unless usage patterns show otherwise,the peak season is assumed to be June—August.After January 1,2014,only deduct meters or irrigation-only meters will serve as the basis for adjusting water consumption for irrigation. 3. In relying on the immediate past year's metered water consumption as the basis of ERUs for a given parcel,the intent is to estimate the relative sewage flows from that parcel for the upcoming year.To that end,the county may extrapolate from partial year data or use historical data when it appears that the recorded water use data for the immediate past year is anomalous or incorrect.This extrapolation is intended to address situations where there might have been leaks,stolen water, meter malfunctions, or capital improvements during the year that will reduce water consumption for the upcoming year. 4. For commercial laundry facilities,the director may adjust the water consumption data used for calculating ERUs to account for the percentage of water used in the washing machines that evaporates in the dryers rather than being discharged to the sewer.This adjustment shall be based on the best available research for the washing machines in use by the facility• D. Strength Charges. 1. Based on the property use,commercial accounts or mixed-use accounts shall be classified as domestic strength or high strength, using the estimates in Figure C(below). Residential accounts are estimated to have between one hundred seventy-five and two hundred fifty parts per million (ppm)of both biological oxygen demand (BOD)and total suspended solids(TSS). For commercial accounts or mixed- use accounts, "domestic strength"shall mean a concentration of BOD and TSS that is less than or equal to five hundred ppm for both BOD and TSS. "High strength"shall mean a concentration of either BOD or TSS that is more than five hundred ppm for either BOD or TSS. 2. After the department develops standard best management practices for minimizing fats,oils,and greases(FOG)and other components of high-strength sewage,commercial parcels that deliver high- strength sewage shall be charged a "strength charge."The strength charge shall consist of twenty-five percent of the regular monthly sewer charge based on the number of ERUs of flow.The strength charge is intended to recover the additional system capacity and operating costs created by above- average concentrations of BOD and TSS. 3. Businesses that give satisfactory ongoing evidence of compliance with the best management practices specified by the utility will be exempt from the strength charge. 4.

The purpose of this Agreement is to provide and promote harmonious relations between the County and the Union, to establish equitable and peaceful procedures for the resolution of differences, and to establish salaries, wages, hours of work, and other terms and conditions concerning employees and employment. Job duties of Corrections and Support Staff will be in keeping with the duties outlined in the appropriate published job description, subject to the right retained by the Sheriff to assign other duties as necessary in accordance with written policy. ARTICLE 1 RECOGNITION The County recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for the purpose of negotiations concerning salaries, hours, and other conditions of employment for all the corrections/support staff in the Sheriff’s Office, except the Sheriff’s appointed positions pursuant to RCW 41.56.030. ARTICLE 2 UNION SECURITY 2.1 Membership No employee in the bargaining unit shall be required to become a member of the Union as a condition of employment. It is recognized that the Union is required both under law and under this Agreement to represent all the employees in the bargaining unit fairly and equally without regard to whether the employee is a member of the Union. 2.2 Union Dues and Fees The Employer shall make deductions for Union dues and/or service fees in the amount certified by the Union Secretary from the wages of each employee in the bargaining unit who executes a properly written authorization and such deductions shall be remitted each month to the Union. New employees other than provisional or emergency appointees shall be given thirty (30) days in which to authorize dues deductions. Union representatives shall be given time with each new employee to discuss Union membership, consistent with State Law. The Union agrees to supply the Employer, annually, with a statement of deduction to be withheld each month. The Employer shall make deductions for the current month's dues and/or service fees only and shall not be responsible for the collection of any dues or service fees that may be in arrears. Deductions shall be promptly transmitted to the Union by check payable to its order or EFT. Upon issuance and transmission of the check to the Union, the Employer's responsibility shall cease with respect to the deduction covered thereby. An employee may cancel their payroll deduction of dues and/or service fees by written notice to the Employer and/or the Union, either of whom will notify the other. The cancellation will become effective on the second payroll after receipt of the notice. 2.3 Maintenance The Union agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the County from any and all claims and actions that arise as a result of actions taken by the County in administering this Article of the Corrections/Support MCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement 2024 - 2028 2 Agreement. The Union shall refund to the Employer any amounts paid in error on account of the check- off provision upon presentation of proper evidence thereof. If a dispute arises, the mechanism for resolution provided under RCW 41.56 will be followed. ARTICLE 3 COMMITTEES 3.1 A Union official who is an employee in the bargaining unit shall be granted reasonable time off with pay while conducting contract negotiations or meetings with the County. No more than three (3) Union officials/representatives shall be released from work at the same time, provided they are not all from the same scheduled shift, and an effort will be made in scheduling to minimize any operational impact on the County. 3.2 The County shall appoint a Negotiating Committee of one or more persons, which shall act on behalf of and under the guidance of the Board of County Commissioners. 3.3 The Union will appoint a member to serve as a Shop Steward. Each steward will be expected to perform their duties as a representative of the Union Members on their own time. However, it is recognized that from time to time, it will be necessary for the steward activities relating to the investigation and processing of complaints, disputes, and grievances to be conducted during work hours when permission has been granted by their immediate salaried supervisor. The County retains sole discretion on whether permission will be granted and will be evaluated based on the operational needs of the County. 3.4 The parties have the right to communicate with each other and provide notice on matters of concern using e-mail, written correspondence, and telephonic communications. Notice is deemed served if communicated to a member of Command Staff or Human Resources for the Employer or the Business Representative, Sub Local Chairperson, or Steward for the Union, who agree to ensure that their own constituents are notified and copied appropriately. The parties agree to respond within a reasonable timeframe. ARTICLE 4 RIGHTS OF MANAGEMENT Except as abridged by this contract, the Sheriff shall retain the exclusive right to exercise the customary functions of management, including, but not limited to: A. To determine the Mason County Sheriff’s Office mission, policies, and set forth all standards of service offered to the public. B. To plan, direct, control and determine the operations or services to be conducted by the employees. C. To utilize personnel, methods, and means in the most appropriate and efficient manner possible. D. To manage and direct the employees of the Sheriff’s Office. E. To hire, promote, transfer, train, evaluate performance and retain employees in positions of the Sheriff’s Office. F. To establish work rules and rules of conduct. G. To determine the size and composition of the work force and to lay off employees in the event of lack of work or funds. If a layoff is imminent, due to a lack of funds or work, the Corrections/Support MCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement 2024 - 2028 3 parties shall meet to discuss efforts to preserve the bargaining unit workforce and develop potential alternatives to curtailment. H. Determine the methods, maintenance, equipment, number and kinds of personnel, the job, work, or position content required to accomplish governmental operations and maintain the efficiency and safety of those operations. I. Determine and change the number and locations and types of operations, processes, and materials to be used in carrying out all County functions. J. Control departmental budgets and financial policies, including accounting procedures. K. Take whatever actions are necessary in emergencies or exigent circumstances to ensure the proper function of the Sheriff’s Office. Exigent Circumstances are declared by the Sheriff or designee in writing and are circumstances which, through no fault of the employer, result in a situation that impacts safety or efficient operation. The Mason County Commissioners shall retain the authority to determine all items with budgetary impact, such as rates or pay, amount of vacation, sick leave and holidays, health insurance, life insurance, overtime rate, call back rate and uniform allowance. ARTICLE 5 DISCRIMINATION The County agrees not to discriminate against any member for their Union activity. It is the policy, intent, and purpose of both the County and the Union that there shall be no discrimination among employees as to color, race, religion, sex, age, national origin, physical disability, marital status, sexual orientation, and/or sensory imperfection unless due to a bona fide occupational qualification. ARTICLE 6 HIRING 6.1 Process The County has the right to hire new employees from any source, and all new employees will serve a probationary period of 365 calendar days, not including academy time, of regularly scheduled work on their job, which shall not include light-duty jobs. During the probationary period, the employee may resign or be terminated without cause or notice. An employee will be classified as a “regular employee” upon successful completion of the probationary period. The County may request an extension of the probationary period and the Union will not unreasonably deny that request. 6.2 New Classifications If new classifications are established by the Employer and added to the bargaining unit, if the duties of existing classifications are substantially changed, or if an Employee is appointed to a position substantially different than the Employee’s classification, a proposed wage scale shall be assigned thereto, and the Employer shall forward the new or changed class and proposed wage to the Union for review. The contract will then be subject to reopening for the sole purpose of negotiating a wage for the class, and only if requested by the Union. If either party disagrees with the designation of a new or reclassified position, the parties recognize that the determination as to whether the position is included within the bargaining unit may be reviewed by PERC, upon petition by either party or jointly. Corrections/Support MCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement 2024 - 2028 4 ARTICLE 7 SENIORITY 7.1 Definition Seniority, for the purpose of this Agreement, is an employee’s length of continuous service with the County, dating from their date of hire into a regular position. Seniority within rank shall be determined by the date of promotion to such rank. 7.2 Seniority Preference The County recognizes the principles of seniority and qualifications considered for its employees. Unless otherwise stated herein, seniority will only be applied as the determining factor for: (a) shift bidding, (b) vacation bidding, (c) overtime preference within rank, and (d) computing layoff and reemployment rights. 7.3 Loss of Seniority Seniority and the employment relationship shall be considered severed and terminated if an employee: a. Resigns b. Is discharged for cause; c. Is absent from work for a period of three (3) consecutive days without prior notification; d. Is rehired after a break in service of more than thirty (30) days; e. Fails to report for work at the termination of a leave of absence or extension thereof; or f. Accepts gainful employment without permission while on leave of absence. Employees who are re-employed following the loss of their seniority shall be deemed a newly-hired employee for all purposes under this Agreement, except if an employee is recalled consistent with Article 8 and the time-lines therein, they shall regain the seniority that they had as of their last date of employment. The practice of allowing leave of absence returns with intact seniority will be administered under the same time frames provided for in Article 8. 7.4 Shift Bidding – Corrections Sergeants/Corporals/Deputies/CSOs Assigned to Control Room For the purposes of this section, a “work period” has been defined as a twenty-eight (28) day cycle under FLSA, section 7(k). Bidding shall commence on September 1 and close on September 30 of each year for the following year’s schedule assignment. Employees will bid either days or nights for the bid period, which would be one (1) bid per year. The schedule shall be posted by the employer for a period of two (2) weeks prior to the beginning of the bid period to allow employees ample time to consider bid options. Where operational needs or special circumstances necessitate, an employee may be temporarily assigned to a shift other than which they bid for, provided a minimum of thirty (30) days notice has been given (if possible) and is seniority based. ARTICLE 8 CURTAILMENT AND RECALL 8.1 Notice In the event of a curtailment, the County will give a minimum of two (2) weeks’ notice prior to the effective date of the curtailment. The County shall meet with the Union, upon request, to discuss possible alternatives to curtailment, but is not bound to adopt alternatives proposed. 8.2 Displacement Employees holding the least seniority within a classification will be curtailed first. Curtailed employees will be able to displace the junior employee in inverse order of classifications previously held without loss of seniority. (E.g., if a SGT is curtailed due to lack of work or reduction in that classification, the Corrections/Support MCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement 2024 - 2028 5 SGT would be able to utilize their seniority to displace the junior Corrections Deputy. The SGT would assume seniority among Corrections Deputies where that employee would have been had they not been promoted to SGT) Employees with no displacement opportunities within their classification will be able to displace junior employees in other classifications within the unit based upon seniority and qualifications. Qualifications shall be based upon the job description and the determination by the County as to whether the employee could adequately assume the role and responsibilities associated with the position the employee seeks to move into. 8.3 Recall Employees must notify the County within three (3) calendar days of receipt of notice of recall whether they will return or not. Employees recalled will have up to seven (7) calendar days from notice of recall to return. No employee will be required to accept recall to a position not previously held. For recall to positions previously held, any employee that does not notify the County of intent to return or fails to return as scheduled will be considered a voluntary quit with loss of seniority for consideration in future openings. 8.4 Recall Seniority Employees will be recalled in seniority order, most senior first, to positions previously held or to any available opening which the employee is qualified to fill. The parties recognize the need to maintain an appropriate male/female officer ratio and will meet to discuss requirements that may be present at the time of recall. Employees accepting recall to a position, whether previously held or not, will retain rights to the initial vacancy curtailed should it become available for recall. Such rights shall be limited in duration to fourteen (14) months or expiration of certification(s), whichever is greater, required for the initial position from which the employee was curtailed. 8.5 Restoration of Benefits Employees recalled pursuant to Section 9.4, above, shall be placed at the same salary range and step, and time in step, in effect at the time of layoff. In addition, employees shall have the sick leave balance as of the date of layoff restored (unless the employee received a sick leave cash out at the time of layoff); and shall accrue vacation leave at the same accrual rate in effect as of the date of layoff; and the number of years of continuous county service at the time of layoff shall be credited towards eligibility for the longevity benefit. Employees recalled into regular part-time positions shall be subject to pro-rated benefits as described in other articles of this Agreement. ARTICLE 9 EVALUATION AND DISCIPLINE 9.1 Evaluation The purpose of evaluation is to help an Employee to 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. All regular Employees should be formally evaluated in writing by their immediate Supervisor and/or Office head or designee during the probationary or trial service period and at least annually (at the date of hire or a common date) and, thereafter, in conjunction with the Sheriff’s Policy in effect at the time of evaluation. Additionally, evaluation of job performance may occur at any time and on an ongoing basis. The evaluation may occur in various ways and may include coaching, counseling, or written assessment. Corrections/Support MCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement 2024 - 2028 6 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. Employees will be given a copy of the evaluation. Employees will be required to sign the evaluation, acknowledging its receipt. Evaluations are not grieveable, however, Employees may elect to provide a written response to the evaluation, which will be retained with the evaluation in the Employee’s personnel file, and/or appeal any evaluation to review with their appropriate Command Staff Representative. 9.2 Discipline/Corrective Action The County has the right and responsibility to assure corrective action when appropriate and, in doing so, 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. While the totality of the circumstances must be considered, generally “just cause” is defined as consistent with the “Seven Tests of Just Cause.” The parties recognize that just cause requires progressive discipline. Progressive discipline may include: • oral reprimands, which will be documented; • written reprimands; • disciplinary transfer; • suspension with or 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 an admission of guilt or concurrence with the discipline. Employees shall have the right to provide a written response to any written disciplinary action to be included in the personnel file, which, together with the action, will be retained in the personnel file, for so long as the disciplinary action is retained. 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 that gave rise to the grievance. The Employer will notify the Union in writing within three (3) calendar 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. Any suspension or discharge is not made on the basis of a grievance within three (3) calendar days from the time thereof shall be considered as waived. 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, provided such is neither a material witness nor the subject of the investigation. Corrections/Support MCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement 2024 - 2028 7 Upon request, the Employee 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 which may result in an economic loss or suspension. The Employer must provide a notice and statement in writing to the Employee identifying the performance violations or misconduct alleged, a copy of the investigative file for review (if requested), and 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) No Employee shall be compelled by the County to give self-incriminating information, either verbal or written, during any criminal investigation when such investigation involves allegations against the Employee nor in any internal investigation which could lead to a criminal charge against the Employee. Any refusal by an Employee to give self-incriminating information under these conditions will not result in the Employee’s termination, suspension, reprimand, transfer, or any other form of disciplinary action by the County. (Garrity 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 GRIEVANCES 10.1 Purpose The purpose of this grievance procedure is to provide an equitable, orderly, and timely process for resolution of grievances without fear of discrimination and/or reprisal. 10.2 Election of Remedies Grievances concerning disciplinary matters governed by the Mason County Civil Service Rules may be processed as an appeal through the Civil Service Rules or as a grievance under this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement agree that a grievance cannot be processed through both the Civil Service appeal process and the grievance procedure under this Agreement. If the grievance is filed first as an appeal through Civil Service, it cannot be filed as a grievance under this Agreement. If the grievance is filed first as a grievance under this Agreement and is subsequently filed timely as an appeal under Civil Service procedures, the grievance shall be considered withdrawn and cannot be re-filed. 10.3 Definition The term “grievance” shall mean any dispute between the Employer and the Union or an employee covered by this Agreement, concerning the interpretation, application, claim, breach, or violation of the terms of this Agreement. Either the Union or the Employer may initiate a grievance. 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 go to mediation. Corrections/Support MCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement 2024 - 2028 8 The Union may initiate a Grievance at Step II anytime that it involves a group of Employees, as specified in Section 10.6. Such grievances may be referred to mediation services by mutual agreement prior to Arbitration. 10.4 Non-Retribution Employees will be unimpeded and free from restraint, interference, coercion, discrimination, or reprisal in seeking adjudication of their grievances. 10.5 Format Grievances shall be filed on a mutually agreed form (see Attachment “B”) which specifies: (a) the facts; (b) the issue; (c) the date of the violation alleged; (d) the controlling contract provision and the section of the Agreement alleged to be violated; and (e) the remedy or relief sought. In the event a form filed is unclear or incomplete and not in compliance with this Section, the County shall make its best efforts to handle the grievance as it understands it. 10.6 Grievance Submissions Any employee of this bargaining unit or a Union representative/steward, with or without the aggrieved employee, may submit a grievance. The Union may in appropriate cases, submit an “institutional” or “general” grievance on its behalf. A grievance of interest to several employees may be filed as a “Group Grievance”, directly to Step II of the grievance procedures, within the time limits set forth in Section 10.7. 10.7 Time Limits A grievance must be submitted pursuant to Step I of the grievance procedure as applicable herein, within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of the occurrence of the alleged grievance or from the date that the grievant, any Union representative or steward knew, or through reasonable diligence should have known of the cause of the grievance. In the case of a grievance ripe for submission directly to Step II, the aforementioned period will also apply. Upon mutual written agreement, the parties may extend any time limits stipulated in the grievance procedure for stated periods, with copies provided to the Union and the Employer. 10.8 Breach of Time Limits Failure by an employee or the union to comply with any time limitations of the procedures in this Article shall automatically constitute withdrawal of the grievance. Failure of the County to comply with any time limitations of a procedure of this Article shall automatically permit the aggrieved employee(s) to advance their grievance to the next step of this grievance procedure. 10.9 Grievance Procedure Step I (Supervisor): Before filing a written grievance, the grievant and/or the Union shall discuss the problem with the employee’s Division Chief or designee within the period specified in Section 10.7. If the matter cannot be resolved verbally, the supervisor shall issue a written response within five (5) calendar days after such meeting, either granting or denying the grievance and provide the written response to the employee and Union. If this resolves the grievance, then no further action is necessary. If the grievance is not resolved at Step I, it may be submitted to Step II. Step II (Sheriff): The grievant and/or Union may present the grievance in the format specified in Section 10.5 to the Sheriff or their designee within ten (10) calendar days of the supervisor’s written response in Step I or, in the case of a grievance ripe for submission directly to Step II, within the time period specified in Section 10.7. The Sheriff shall meet with all concerned parties including the Union representative(s) within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the grievance. The Sheriff shall issue a written response within ten (10) calendar days after such meeting, either granting or denying the grievance, and provide the written response to the employee and Union. If the grievance is not resolved at Step II, it may be submitted to Step III. Corrections/Support MCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement 2024 - 2028 9 Step III (Human Resources Director): The grievance (as was previously set forth in writing under Step II) may be submitted to the Human Resources Director or designee within five (5) calendar days of the Sheriff’s written response in Step II. The Human Resources Director or designee shall meet with the Union within ten (10) calendar days of its receipt of the grievance. Within ten (10) calendar days of the meeting, the Human Resources Director or designee shall issue a written response to the Union regarding the grievance. Mediation: The parties may mutually agree to submit the matter to mediation. The moving party shall contact the proper authority, Public Employees Relations Commission (“PERC”) or Federal Mediation & Conciliation Services (“FMCS”), and request a mediator and hearing date to be conducted within 30 calendar days in an attempt to resolve the matter. Should the mediator be unsuccessful in mediating a resolution s/he will provide an opinion as to what the likely outcome would be should the matter be pursued to arbitration. The mediator shall have no authority to modify the bargaining agreement or issue a binding resolution. Step IV: (Arbitration): If the grievance is not resolved at Step III, the grievance (as was previously set forth in writing under Step II), may be submitted to PERC within five (5) calendar days of the written response in Step III. PERC shall provide a list of five (5) arbitrators and the Union and the County shall strike names until an arbitrator is selected. Within thirty (30) calendar days, the arbitrator shall schedule a hearing on the matter. In connection with any proceedings of the arbitration held pursuant to the Agreement, it is understood as follows: a. The arbitrator shall have no power to render a decision that will add to, subtract from, alter, change, or modify the terms of this Agreement. b. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon the County, the Union, and the employee(s) involved. c. The prevailing party shall be exempted from the costs of the arbitrator’s fees. Each party shall bear the cost of presenting its own case. d. The arbitrator’s decision shall be made in writing and shall be issued to the parties within thirty (30) calendar days after the case is submitted. ARTICLE 11 WAGES AND ALLOWANCE 11.1 Wages Salaries for all uniformed employees of the Mason County Sheriff’s Office Corrections and Support Staff shall be established as listed in the wage scale as set forth in Attachment A.

If the vacancy is for a Sergeant, a Sergeant will be offered the position in descending order of seniority. The same process for a Corporal. If the Sergeant or Corporal positions cannot be filled by those of that perspective rank, then the position will be offered to employees on shift/going off shift in descending order of seniority. Vacancies for Corrections Deputies will be offered to employees on shift/going off shift in descending order of seniority. If the vacancy is voluntarily filled, the process stops. If no volunteers are found, employees on the overtime sign-up sheet are contacted in descending order of seniority and offered the overtime. If the vacancy remains unfilled after this step, the least senior Corrections Deputy or Qualified CSO on shift/going off shift shall be required to work the overtime. b. Scheduled Overtime: This refers to available work that is anticipated and which could be scheduled with advance notice that is greater than one work shift. If the vacancy is for a Sergeant, a Sergeant will be offered the position in descending order of seniority. The same process for a Corporal. If the Sergeant or Corporal positions cannot be filled by those of that perspective rank, then the position will be offered to employees on the overtime sign-up sheet in descending order of seniority. For Corrections Deputies scheduled overtime will be offered first, to employees on the overtime sign-up sheet in descending order of seniority. If the vacancy is voluntarily filled, the process stops. If the vacancy remains unfilled with one shift or less remaining prior to the scheduled overtime date, the vacancy will be filled using the incidental overtime process. If a Kelly Day results in staffing below minimum staffing levels, the employee using the Kelly Day shall have the first option to work it on overtime. Corrections/Support MCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement 2024 - 2028 14 Posting of Scheduled Overtime Coverage: When scheduled overtime is known with fifteen (15) days or less prior notice, employees on the overtime sign-up sheet will be contacted telephonically or in person.

Each time the employee takes FMLA during the twelve (12) month period, the leave will be subtracted from the twelve (12) weeks of available leave. If an employee has any questions regarding the State and Federal Family leave laws, they may contact the County’s Human Resource Department for guidance. 19.1 Military Leave In addition to benefits granted under USERRA, Employees shall be allowed military leave as required by RCW 38.40.060 and as interpreted by the Court. This provides for twenty-one (21) working days of military leave per year (October 1 through September 30). 19.2 Family Leave/FMLA & FLA Family Medical leave will be allowed consistent with State and Federal law and with existing County policies and is initiated by the employee having a qualifying event. Please refer to the Family Leave Policy, chapter 7.7, in the Mason County Personnel Policy, per the Washington State Family Medical Leave Act and RCW 49.78. The Employer shall maintain the Employee’s health benefits during this leave. If the Employee fails to return from leave for any reason other than the medical condition initially qualifying for the FMLA absence, the Employer may recover from the Employee the insurance premiums paid during any period of unpaid leave. If a leave qualifies under both federal and state law, the leave shall run concurrently. Ordinarily, the Employee must provide thirty (30) days’ written advance notice to the Employer when the leave is foreseeable. The Employee should report qualifying events as soon as known and practicable. The combination of FMLA and other types of leave(s) is not precluded and leave utilizations are to be concurrent, with the intent that appropriate paid accruals are to be utilized first, consistent with other Articles of this Agreement. 19.2.1 Eligibility: Consistent with the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA), and any amendments thereto, and the Washington State Family Leave Act of 2006 (WFLA), please refer to section 7.7, Family Leave, in the Mason County Personnel Policy for eligible uses. 19.2.2 Intermittent Leave: Personal medical leave, serious health condition leave, or serious illness or injury leave covered by family medical leave may be taken intermittently when certified as medically necessary. Employees must make reasonable efforts to schedule leave for planned medical treatments so as not to unduly disrupt the Employer’s operations. Leave due to qualifying exigencies may also be taken on an intermittent basis. Requests for intermittent leave to care for and/or bond with a newborn, foster, or adopted child will be considered on a case- by-case basis. Before such intermittent leave is taken, the appointing authority or designee must approve the schedule to be worked. Corrections/Support MCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement 2024 - 2028 22 19.3 Maternity Disability Leave Consistent with WAC 162-30-020, the Employer will grant a leave of absence for a period of temporary disability because of pregnancy or childbirth. This may be in addition to the leave entitlements of FMLA. This leave provides female Employees with the right to a leave of absence equivalent to the disability phase of pregnancy and childbirth. There is no eligibility requirement, however, the Employer has no obligation to pay for health insurance benefits while on this leave (unless utilized concurrently with FMLA or otherwise entitled under disability or sick leave paid status). Leave for temporary disability due to pregnancy or childbirth will be medically verifiable. There is no limit to the length of the disability phase, except for the right to medical verification and the right to a second opinion at the Employer’s expense. At the end of the disability leave, the Employee is entitled to return to the same job or a similar job of at least the same pay. Employees must use their accrued vacation and sick leave, if any, during the leave period and, at their election, any accrued comp time. Once this paid leave is exhausted, the Employee’s leave may be switched over to unpaid leave. 19.4 Washington State Paid Family Medical Leave Compliance The County and Union mutually agree to comply with all Washington State Paid Family & Medical Leave laws, per RCW 50A.04, and future amendments to the law. Eligible employees are covered by Washington’s Family and Medical Leave Program, RCW 50A.04. 19.5 Union Leave Once approved, any employee selected to attend union training necessitating leave without pay shall be granted leave without pay by the County provided sufficient advance notice is given and is subject to minimum staffing and does not create the need for overtime coverage. The duration of such leave without pay will be limited to one (1) week per calendar year and no more than one (1) employee may be on leave without pay at any one time. An annual cap of three (3) employees per calendar year attending training shall be strictly enforced. ARTICLE 20 SALARIES & SALARY NEGOTIATIONS 20.1 Bargaining All collective bargaining with respect to wages, hours, and working conditions, shall be conducted by authorized representatives of the Union and of the County in open public meetings as required by law. 20.2 Negotiations The County does hereby agree that its designated committee will meet with Union representatives to consider and negotiate in good faith by both parties all requests and recommendations of the Union prior to adopting any salary schedule or making any amendments to the same. 20.3 Civil Service Board Notification The County will notify the Union of any requested or received Civil Service action regarding any classification, or proposed classification falling under the jurisdiction of this Agreement. Such notification will be provided immediately upon request by the County for a modification or re- determination. In cases where the Civil Service Board initiates an unsolicited modification to a classification, notice shall be given immediately upon receipt of the Civil Service Board’s impending action. Corrections/Support MCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement 2024 - 2028 23 20.4. No Strike/Lockout It is agreed by both parties that the right to strike for better wages and working conditions is not granted to uniformed employees (RCW 41.56.490). ARTICLE 21 INSURANCE 21.1 Employer Contribution The County shall contribute as below each month during the term of this Agreement for each eligible employee for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage. a. Effective January 1, 2025 the contribution shall be increased to one thousand five hundred and seventy dollars ($1,570) per month during the term of this Agreement for each eligible employee for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage. b. Effective January 1, 2026 the contribution shall be increased to one thousand six hundred and twenty-two dollars ($1,622) per month during the term of this Agreement for each eligible employee for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage. c.

Effective January 1, 2028 the contribution shall be increased to one thousand seven hundred and twenty-six dollars ($1,726) per month during the term of this Agreement for each eligible employee for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage. If any other bargaining unit or group of employees receive contributions greater than the above amounts the members of this bargaining unit will also receive those increased amounts on the same effective dates. In the event the Employer is subject to carrier plan design change or a penalty, tax, fine, or increased costs as a result of requirements or provisions of the ACA, not within the control of the Employer, the parties agree to meet and negotiate regarding the impacts of any such cost or plan design impacts and immediately bargain alternative provisions. Eligible employees are those working or compensated for eighty (80) man-hours (excludes vacation, sick, comp time payout upon separation) or more per month during the calendar year. Any monthly premium contribution required above the County’s contribution shall be paid by a reduction of the necessary amount from each employee’s salary. Time missed from work due to a worker’s compensation claim will be considered as time worked for employee group insurance and vacation purposes for a maximum of twelve (12) months. 21.2 Employer Contribution Priority Order In the event the County’s maximum monthly contribution is insufficient to provide 100% of the total employee group insurance premium as referenced above, the priority order of full County payment shall be as follows: (1) Vision, (2) Dental, and (3) Medical. 21.3 Employee Pay Deduction Any monthly premium contribution required above the County’s contribution shall be paid by a reduction of the necessary amount from each employee’s salary. Corrections/Support MCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement 2024 - 2028 24 21.4 Workers Compensation Consideration Time missed from work due to worker’s compensation will be considered as time worked for employee group insurance purposes for a maximum of twelve (12) months. 21.5 Employee Assistance Program (EAP) The County shall provide an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) benefit for all employees. 21.6 Washington State Long Term Care Trust Act Compliance The County and the Union mutually agree to comply with all Long-term Services and Supports Trust Program laws, per RCW 50B.04, and future amendments to the statute. ARTICLE 22 EMPLOYER RELATIONS 22.1 Confidentiality The Employer and the Union recognize the interest of maintaining confidentiality to the employee’s personal information such as home address, home telephone numbers, personal wireless numbers, and identity of family members, therefore the Employer and the Union agree to take all reasonable lawful steps to assure confidentiality of these matters. 22.2 Written Policy The County has available for the Union a copy of its written policies and procedures on its website. The County agrees to bargain any policies and procedures, which affect wages, hours, and working conditions of the employees. 22.3 Employer Cooperation The County agrees to permit Union Committee members to use the inter-office mail system and email for matters related to meeting notifications and contract negotiations. The Union acknowledges such information is subject to the Public Records Disclosure Act, thereby negating any confidentiality of the correspondence or any transmittal between Union members through electronic means and inter-office mail. 22.4 Mandatory School and Training Sessions The Sheriff is permitted to conduct or direct the attendance of employees, and each employee shall attend, any school and training sessions as directed by the Sheriff. As required in the policy manual, or mandated by Washington State Law, each employee shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining certification for matters required in the policy manual and mandated by law. The school, training, or certification referred to in the above, shall be mandatory upon each employee requiring the attendance of such employee whether on their off-duty or on-duty time, depending upon when such classes occur. Attendance during actual class time shall be considered working time and shall result in compensation at the applicable rate of pay.

Upon either completion of the academy, or lateral hire and acquisition from an outside agency or jurisdiction, members shall be issued the articles, which meet the Sheriff’s Office standards, in accordance with the Uniform Policies of the Sheriff’s Office. Management reserves the authority to revise the required uniform list as necessary and needed with the Sheriff retaining final decision-making authority on Office issued uniforms and equipment. Effective January 1, 2016, the County will provide a newly hired Corrections Deputy a County approved duty weapon or sidearm in accordance with County policy and procedures. All uniform items provided by the County to a member (including the weapon and/or sidearm issued under this provision and any accompanying magazines) shall be returned to the County upon separation from employment. a.

CURRENT ZONING DESIGNATION: RURAL RESIDENTIAL 10 (RR10) There are five types of rural residential districts. These districts primarily provide for low density residential use, but also provide for some rural uses such as hobby farms. Rural Residential 10 (RR10) provides for new residential subdivision on parcels of ten acres or more. Uses permitted include single-family residential, hobby farm (small scale commercial agriculture, including aquaculture and wood lots), churches, local community and recreation centers, group homes, cell towers, fire stations, fish hatcheries, and public utilities. Accessory uses include cottage industries (home occupations) and single-family residences. PROPOSED ZONING DESIGNATION: RURAL RESIDENTIAL 5 (RR5) There are five types of rural residential districts. These districts primarily provide for low density residential use, but also provide for some rural uses such as hobby farms. Rural Residential 5 (RR5) provides for new residential subdivision on parcels of five acres or more. Uses permitted include single-family residential, hobby farm (small scale commercial agriculture, including aquaculture and wood lots), churches, local community and recreation centers, group homes, cell towers, fire stations, fish hatcheries, and public utilities. Accessory uses include cottage industries (home occupations) and single-family residences. CURRENT SURROUNDING ZONING: NORTH: Rural Residential 5 (RR5) EAST: Pierce County(zoning not known/researched) SOUTH: Rural Residential 5 (RR5) WEST: Rural Residential 10 (RR10) ANALYSIS Mason County Code Section 17.05.080(a) describes the eight rezone criteria used to review a rezone proposal.These criteria have been established and adopted specifically for Mason County to establish standards by which each zone is to be reviewed.The Code requires that each rezone be evaluated considering these standards; however, it does not require that they all be met. Below are Staff responsesto the proposed request. See applicant's response in the attached application: 1. Development allowed by the proposed rezone designation shall not damage public health, safety and welfare. 615 W.Alder Street Shelton,Wa 98584 2 360.427.9670 ext. 352 ©masoncountywa.gov MC Case:AFA2024-00001 This criterion is met as the applicants proposed rezone of the parcels will not damage public health, safety and welfare. The applicant is requesting zoning that would more appropriately fit the existing lot sizes. 2. The zone designation shall be consistent with the Mason County Comprehensive Plan, Development Regulations, and other County ordinances, and with the Growth Management Act; and that designation shall match the characteristics of the area to be rezoned better than any other zone designation. This criterion has been met as it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and consistent with the surrounding zoning. 3. No rezone shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or development,whether actual or potential, the cumulative impacts of such zoning would be to materially increase sprawling, low-density rural development, or to significantly increase uses incompatible with resource-based uses in the vicinity. This criterion is met as it will not increase sprawl or low-density development or cause it to occur. 4. No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or development,whether actual or potential, the cumulative impacts of such zoning would be to materially increase demand for urban services in rural areas, including but not limited to streets, parking, utilities, fire protection, police, and schools. This criterion is met. Since all but one parcel is already 5 acres(or less)in size, the rezone will not increase demand for urban services. 5. No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or development,whether actual or potential, the cumulative impacts of such zoning would be to materially interfere with the Growth Management Act goal to encourage development in urban areas where adequate public services and facilities exist or can be provided in an efficient manner. This criterion is met. Since all but one parcel is already 5 acres(or less)in size, the rezone will not interfere with the GMA goal to encourage development in urban areas. 6. No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or development,whether actual or potential, the cumulative impacts of such zoning would be to materially interfere with the Growth Management Act goal to encourage retention of open space, to conserve fish and wildlife habitat, and generally to protect the environment, including air and water quality. 615 W.Alder Street Shelton,Wa 98584 3 360.427.9670 ext. 352 ©masoncountywa.gov MC Case:AFA2024-00001 This criterion is met as the proposed rezone of these parcels would not materially interfere with the Growth Management A ctgoal to encourage retention of open space, to conserve fish and wildlife habitat, and generally to protect the environment, including air and water quality. Development regulations, including protection of critical areas, will be implemented to protect the environment at the time ofproposed development. 7. No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or development,whether actual or potential, the cumulative impacts of such zoning would be to create pressure to change land use designations of other lands or to increase population growth in rural areas as projected in the Mason County Comprehensive Plan. This criterion is met. Since all but one parcel is already 5 acres(or less)in size, the rezone will not create pressure to change land use designations of other lands to increase population in the rural areas. One parcel will have the potential to increase(double)its density from one unit per 10 acres to one unit per five acres. 8. These criteria shall not be construed to prevent corrective rezoning of land necessitated by clerical error or similar error of typography or topography committed in the original zoning of such land. Not applicable to this situation.
