From: Travis Duty To: McKenzie Smith Subject: Wakeboard Boat Ban Date: Wednesday,April 22,2026 5:47:44 AM Dear Mason Count Commissioners et al, I am a resident on Mason Lake and am reaching out to express concern over the proposal to ban wakeboard boats on all lakes EXCEPT Mason Lake and Lake Cushman. I whole heartedly oppose this terrible idea. It seems short sighted to funnel all wakeboard boats to one or two lakes which would gravely impact the property of Mason Lake residents (docks, shorelines, etc)not to mention the safety of the community who resides there. Pushing all the boat traffic here would all but eliminate activities such as kayaking,paddle boarding, and swimming for my children. What's more important to point out is that equality and equity of the burden to accommodate the general public who wishes to use one of the many Great Lakes in our region should not be forced upon one or two communities -that just on the surface does not seem right. Per the article that was published you have been receiving complaints about the property damage caused by these boats on smaller lakes, so I'd like to ask you why would it be fair to punish the property owners of Mason Lake and force more boat traffic here so that we bear the burden of the damage. That seems absolutely disingenuous and frankly un-American. Singling out one or two communities to cover damages caused by the masses is an invisible tax on our freedom and livelihood. But hey, welcome to the new Washington state right?! Punish the people who pay the majority of taxes for the sake of all others. Please take a moment and provide a thoughtful response as to why you believe it would be just and right to move forward with this plan. Thanks, Travis From: David Meinert To: McKenzie Smith; Randy Neatherlin; Pat Tarzwell;Sharon Trask Subject: Wake Boat Ordinance Date: Monday,April 20,2026 5:24:11 PM I'm writing in support of the Wake Boat Ordinance. My family and I have owned property on Lost Lake for 6 decades. Since wake boats were introduced and as they have grown in size and power,we have watched our docks destroyed, the shorelines damaged, and aquatic wildlife like bass, catfish, crawdads and salamanders disappear from the lake as invasive weeds come in. This summer our kids were almost thrown off the dock by a massive wake from a wake boat that came within 10 feet of our dock. It is out of control and the owners have proven then cannot be trusted to follow rules. In Lost Lake there is no safe distance for a wake boat to be due to the small size and shape of the lake. The only issue with the ordinance is that it isn't clear enough that a wake boot should NEVER operate on the lake as even with their add on wake enhancements not engaged, their primary wake enhancement is their hull design which cannot be turned off. Please alter the ordinance to clearly ban them from small lakes at all times. Thank you for your excellent work!

It will increase that traffic here enormously. Those boats cause enough damage to our properties as it is. The year they closed Cushman, I believe it was 2021, due to so many people up by Party Rock,well, they all came to Mason. It was horrible. Boaters ignoring laws,peeing off their boats into the lake, throwing trash into the water....the boat launch was overflowing onto the road. I for one would love to see them banned altogether, as they do cause many problems here. But banning on all but 2 lakes.....ridiculous. Le Powers Sent from my Galaxy Michael Jones, Owner: Island Lake Science 600 E Island Lake Drive] Shelton, WA April 22, 2026 Mason County Board of Commissioners 411 N 5th Street Shelton, WA 98584 Subject: Community Conflict and Scientific Concerns Regarding Wake Boat Operation on Island Lake Dear Commissioners, I am writing as a resident of Island Lake, a biologist, and a science educator who operates a research and education laboratory on the lake. I am increasingly concerned about two issues that now require your attention: (1)the scientific incompatibility of wake boat operation on a small, shallow lake such as Island Lake, and(2)the rapid deterioration of community peace and civility as this issue has escalated into verbal hostility among residents. First, the scientific evidence is clear that wake-enhancing vessels are designed to generate large, high-energy waves that require substantial depth and distance to dissipate safely. Island Lake's limited surface area-103 acres, circular shape, and shallow depth make it fundamentally unsuitable for wake-enhanced boating. In shallow basins,wake energy transfers directly into the lakebed, resuspending sediments in the water column done by wake boats, thus mixing nutrients (phosphates and nitrogen compounds from irrigation systems), with plankton causing massive algae blooms. Additionally, damaged septic tank leeching fields add nutrients into the lake. In years past major plankton blooms have turned the lake pea-soup green and caused swimmer's itch. These impacts are well-documented in limnological studies and are observable on our lake. Island Lake simply does not have the depth profile or spatial buffer required to absorb the forces generated by wake boats without ecological harm. Second, the social environment surrounding this issue has deteriorated sharply. A small minority of wake boat owners has become increasingly aggressive in online discussions,particularly on Facebook, where misinformation, misinterpretation of RCWs, and personal attacks have become common. As a science educator, and past official for Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources, Department of Boating and Ocean Recreation, I am accustomed to addressing misunderstandings, but the level of hostility now present goes far beyond healthy debate. Residents who express concerns are frequently met with verbal abuse, insinuations, and name- calling. Many long-time community members no longer feel comfortable participating in public discussion. The tranquility that has defined Island Lake for decades is being eroded not only by the physical impacts of wake boats, but by the social conflict surrounding them. This situation is escalating, and without intervention, it risks further division and potential confrontation among neighbors. I am deeply concerned that the community fabric is fraying in ways that will be difficult to repair. I respectfully ask the Commission to acknowledge the seriousness of both the environmental and social impacts now unfolding on Island Lake. The wake boat issue is no longer a simple disagreement among residents; it has become a destabilizing force affecting the health of the lake and the well-being of the community. I urge the County to review the scientific evidence regarding wake boat operation on small, shallow lakes and to consider appropriate measures to protect both the ecosystem and the safety and harmony of Island Lake residents. I fully support a ban on wake boat operation on Island Lake as well as other lakes in Mason County. Thank you for your time and for your service to our community. I would be glad to provide scientific data, field observations, or further testimony if helpful. Sincerely, Mike Jones Biologist and Science Educator Island Lake, Shelton, WA.

I purchased my waterfront lot in 1994. I had a bulkhead built with large 18x12x10 inch cement blocks that are held together with fiberglass pins. The bulkhead had been stable for over 20 years until property close by sold(2 parcels) and the new owners built homes, docks and each have large boats that hold water in the ballast that they surf behind. Within 2 summers of this boating activity the wake undermined the bottom level of my bulkhead and half of it collapsed into the lake. My walkway to my dock is the type that rides on wheels as lake level changes,the wake from these large boat causes my dock to bounce around so much it has destroyed 4 sets of wheels. My dock took such a beating last year the 20 ft pipes that hold it in place came loose and had to be replaced. The cost of all these repairs has been significant and as a retired senior citizen on a fixed income I cannot afford any.more fixes. I appreciate that your looking into the property damage these wake boats cause. Thank you Teresa Stoddard Yahoo Mail: Search. Organize, Conquer From: Kevin Rae To: McKenzie Smith Subject: Mason County Wake Enhanced Boating Date: Sunday,April 26,2026 6:29:31 AM Good morning McKenzie, I hope this email finds you well and can be directed to the board of commissioners, My name is Kevin Rae, and I'm a property owner on Lost Lake in Mason County. I want to be very clear—I do not support this proposed wake-enhanced motorboat ordinance. I understand the concern about shoreline damage, and I think that concern is valid. Everyone who lives on these lakes has an interest in protecting them. But this proposal does not take a balanced or practical approach to that goal. As written, this functions as a ban on many lakes in Mason County. Requiring both 250 feet from shore and 20 feet of depth at the same time leaves little to no usable water on a large number of lakes. That means this isn't really regulating behavior—it's eliminating an activity outright, even in places where it has been done responsibly for years. It also oversimplifies the cause of shoreline impacts. Erosion is not driven by a single source. Wind-driven waves, water level fluctuations, and shoreline conditions like vegetation removal or hardened structures all play a major role. This ordinance singles out one type of boating without addressing the broader factors that actually affect shoreline health. In other states that have spent years studying this issue, like Minnesota and Wisconsin, the approach has generally not been to impose blanket bans. Instead, they've focused on setbacks, education, and in some cases lake-specific rules. Even where concerns are high, like in Connecticut, regulators have been cautious about overreaching and have not moved straight to broad prohibitions like this. That's the key issue here—this proposal is more restrictive than what many other areas are doing, even those that have studied this more extensively. What actually makes a difference on the water is how boats are operated. Responsible operators already adjust where they run, avoid shallow areas, and limit repeated passes near shore. That kind of real-world behavior is what reduces impact—not rigid criteria that don't reflect how lakes are actually used. I'm also concerned about enforcement. Relying on things like "wake characteristics" or visible ballast use introduces a level of subjectivity that could lead to inconsistent enforcement and unnecessary conflict. I'm not opposed to reasonable regulation. If there are specific problem areas, address those. If better education or clearer guidance is needed, that makes sense. But this proposal is too broad, too restrictive, and ultimately punishes responsible users without clearly solving the problem it's trying to address. I would strongly urge you to reconsider this ordinance and work toward a more balanced approach that protects the lakes without effectively eliminating a lawful and widely enjoyed activity. Thank you. Kevin From: Brian Bare To: Sharon Trask Subject: Wake Boat Ordnance Date: Friday,April 24,2026 9:53:05 AM To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my support for implementing restrictions or an outright ban on wake- enhancing boats on smaller lakes in Mason County. Wake-enhancing boats, by design, generate significantly larger and more powerful waves than traditional watercraft. While these vessels may be appropriate for larger bodies of water, their use on smaller lakes presents serious concerns for both environmental health and shoreline infrastructure. First, the amplified wakes contribute to accelerated shoreline erosion. The repeated impact of large waves destabilizes banks, destroys natural vegetation, and degrades critical habitat for fish, amphibians, and other wildlife. Many smaller lakes rely on delicate ecological balances, and increased turbidity and sediment displacement can have lasting negative effects on water quality and aquatic life. Second, these wakes pose a direct threat to private and public property. Docks, bulkheads, and moored boats are not typically designed to withstand continuous high-energy wave action. Property owners are left to absorb the cost of repairs and maintenance caused by conditions that did not previously exist on these lakes. Additionally, smaller lakes often lack the size and depth necessary to safely dissipate these waves. This results in waves reflecting back and forth across the lake, compounding their impact and increasing safety risks for swimmers, paddlers, and other recreational users. For these reasons, it is both reasonable and necessary to consider regulations that limit or prohibit wake-enhancing boats on smaller lakes within Mason County. Protecting shoreline integrity, preserving wildlife habitat, and preventing unnecessary property damage should be a priority for our community. Thank you for your time and consideration of this important issue. Sincerely, Captain Brian Bare Mike& Connie Stoney 90 W Lake Forest Lane W Shelton, WA 98584 (360) 470-2487 April 27, 2026 Mason County Board of Commissioners 411 N 5th Street Shelton, WA 98584 Subject: Strong Opposition to Proposed Wake Boat/Wake-Enhanced Operation Ordinance (Chapter 9.04)—Do Not Restrict Lost Lake Dear Commissioners, I am writing as a homeowner and stakeholder at Lost Lake to strongly oppose the proposed ordinance that would restrict or ban wake-enhanced boating and wake surfing on Lost Lake. This broad restriction would cause significant financial harm to property owners,undermine the expectations we relied upon when purchasing our homes, and unnecessarily limit a long- established recreational use on our lake. This proposal will cause a direct loss in property values.When my family and I(along with many other owners)purchased our properties on Lost Lake, we specifically researched and selected this lake because it allowed a full range of water sports, including wake surfing and wake boating. We paid a premium for homes on a lake that supported these family-oriented activities. A sudden ban would devalue our investments by removing a key amenity that attracted us and supports resale value. Lakeside properties with active, diverse recreational use command higher prices; restricting them will lead to measurable declines in assessed and market values for the entire Lost Lake community. Homeowners have made substantial investments based on these activities. Many owners, including myself, have invested tens of thousands of dollars in docks, seawalls, boat lifts, and shoreline improvements specifically designed and permitted to support wake boating, water skiing, and related sports. These investments were made in good faith under the assumption that county rules would continue to allow responsible use of the water. Changing the rules now would render those investments partially worthless and unfairly penalize responsible owners who followed all existing regulations. Lost Lake is suitable, and buyers have choices. At 123 acres with significant depth, Lost Lake can safely accommodate wake-enhanced activities with reasonable, targeted rules (such as distance-from-shore and depth requirements)rather than an outright ban. If some residents or visitors prefer lakes without these activities, Mason County has numerous other lakes to choose from. Those seeking quieter, non-motorized, or low-wake experiences already have many options. There is no need to impose a one-size-fits-all ban on lakes like Lost Lake that have successfully supported these uses for decades. Balanced alternatives exist. Instead of banning wake boats on most lakes while exempting only the two largest, the County should adopt practical, enforceable standards such as: • Time-of-day or weekend restrictions if needed. • Operator education and ballast management requirements. These solutions protect shorelines without destroying the recreational character and property values that define Lost Lake. I respectfully urge you to reject the current broad proposal, gather lake-specific data for Lost Lake, and pursue measured regulations that respect the investments and expectations of existing property owners. Please set the public hearing and allow full community input before any vote. Thank you for your consideration.

When my family decided to purchase lake front property one of the main items that was important to us was finding a lake that supported the full range of boating activities. We did our research and went to many lakes to see the activity that was allowed and how busy they were. After this research we landed at Lost Lake and it has fit our needs perfectly. We have since built a new home, purchased a boat and boat lift. This proposed restriction will make many of my investments worthless along with decrease the overall value of our home. It seems on our lake there a the few that complain the loudest while the majority enjoy the boating activities and have no complaints. I find all of the boaters to be very respective of the shores and stay in the middle of the lake when doing these type of activities. It is not an overly busy lake as we don't get much weekend traffic and we don't even notice the wakes. I have attached a letter that I would appreciate if you would share with the commissioners. If you or they have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Have a great week! Thanks Mike Stoney, CPA ` 360-482-2200 Partner • mikefcDeasterstoney.com Easter&Stoney, P.S.

My family recently invested in this community and obtained permits to build a home on the lake. Access to responsible boating, including the use of our wake boat, was an important part of that decision. We value the lake not only as property owners, but as active and respectful users. From my experience, many of the concerns associated with lake congestion and unsafe boating practices are largely tied to non-resident use, particularly during peak periods. As a resident, I make a point to avoid operating my boat during the busiest times out of consideration for safety and the enjoyment of others. I believe many other resident boaters take a similarly responsible approach. Rather than implementing a full ban, I would encourage the County to consider alternatives that address the root of the problem. Increased law enforcement presence and active patrolling on the lake would help ensure that all users—residents and visitors alike—are following existing safety and operational guidelines. Targeting unsafe behavior directly is, in my view, a more balanced and effective solution than prohibiting a specific type of boat. A blanket restriction on wake boats would impact responsible property owners without fully addressing the broader issues of congestion and misuse. I respectfully urge the Commissioners to reconsider this proposal and explore solutions that promote safe, shared use of Lost Lake. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely Josh Steele 360-581-6019 887 West Lakeside Dr, Shelton Sent from my iPhone April 27, 2026 Ladies and Gentlemen of the Mason County Board of Commissioners, Tomorrow morning you are considering a motion to approve a Public Hearing to consider and take comment on adopting a proposed wake-enhanced motorboat operation ordinance. I believe that while there has clearly been some research done and you've clearly received complaints and concerns from shoreline property owners and possibly others who feel they have been impacted by this, now is not the specific time to go into great detail regarding the negative impacts of that proposed ordinance. Perhaps you didn't even believe there would be any negative impact, though that would be naive. I will save the detailed counter-arguments for the Public Hearing on May 26th. I will at least summarize a few points though: While it would likely take years to show on the County Assessor's values, this ordinance would drastically affect the marketable property values for anyone looking to buy or sell with the interest of owning or selling property on a "full water sports" lake. I do sincerely hope the Commissioners consider their responsibility to ALL property owners as you weigh these decisions, not only those who have been vocal about their complaints. I do understand the financial concerns for those who need to make repairs to their shoreline, bulkheads and docks. I myself will need to make those same repairs this year. I consider it part of the cost of lakefront ownership that comes with the privilege of enjoying the fruits of those labors in the various water sports activities we enjoy. I do acknowledge that there are some operators who are careless and that property damage has occurred. Plenty of watercraft operators who are NOT wake-enhanced boat operators are equally as careless. Many of those scenarios force towboats (any towboats, not just wake-enhanced) into difficult maneuvers often times closer to shorelines than would be considered reasonable. ANY boat that is towing at lower speeds, regardless of their"wake-enhanced"capability, creates a larger than average wake. I've seen very little effort or responsibility taken by those operators to take the same amount of care and consideration that MOST wake-surf boats take. They either do not care because the focus is on us as the"bad guys"or they are naive to the results of their own actions. We ARE aware of our wakes and DO take all precautions possible to limit any negative effect we have on others enjoyment of the lake. I see it is currently listed as"N/A" under the heading of"Associated Costs/ Budget Impact". I assume that that is only referring to the cost of the next meeting?Surely Mr. Adams can't imagine that this ordinance won't come at a cost to the county in the form legal repercussions from current property owners who are also wake-surf boat owners.The absolute certainty of reduced property value, the difficulty in selling that property and the huge time and financial burden in finding comparable and suitable property on one of the two lakes listed as acceptable wake-enhanced operation lakes, let alone the cost of moving to and/or building on one of those lakes, the negative impact and cost of commuting, especially for those who are full time residents, all carry significant financial impact. I also see that there are two other measures being considered for that May 26th meeting at 9:15. I don't know how heated or involved the Water System Regulations and the Outdoor Burning Program discussions will be, but I am suggesting that the Motorboating ordinance has it's own meeting and that plenty of time is allotted beyond the standard 15 minutes for public discussion. There will no doubt be plenty of property owners with a stake in this from both sides of the argument, all with much to say. Thank you for your time in reading this, we'll see you tomorrow.

Other Business (Department Heads and Elected Officials) No other business. 10. 9:15 a.m. Public Hearings and Items Set for a Certain Time 10.1 Public Hearing to consider the South Mason Fire District territory withdrawal. McKenzie Smith presented a request from South Mason Fire Protection District No.4 (DBA South Mason Fire&Rescue SMFR)held a properly noticed Public Hearing and adopted three Resolutions in accordance with RCW 57.28.050.The District then certified the authenticity of those Resolutions and provided formal written notice to the County on January 12,2026,as required by RCW 57.28.060. Upon receipt of the notice,the role of the Board of County Commissioners(BOCC)is to provide public notice,conduct a public hearing,and make the determination required under RCW 57.28.080 as to whether the BOCC finds in the affirmative and in agreement with the District the two statutory conditions set forth in RCW 57.28.050.If the BOCC does not make an affirmative finding,the matter proceeds in accordance with RCW 57.28.090. South Mason Fire&Rescue held a properly noticed Public Hearing on January 7,2026,and notice for the Mason County Public Hearing was noticed April 9 and April 16,2026,in the Shelton-Mason County Journal. The following actions were before the BOCC: 1. Approval of the Resolution related to South Mason Fire&Rescue Resolution No.224,225,and 226 containing findings of fact affirmatively answering the questions set forth in RCW 57.28.050 for the withdrawal of the Squaxin Island Tribe territory within the District. 2. Approval of the Resolution denying South Mason Fire&Rescue Resolution No.224,225,and 226 if any questions set forth in RCW 57.28.050 are answered in the negative or the findings of the county legislative authority are not the same as the findings of the District Board of Commissioners and setting a special election as set forth in RCW 57.28.090. 3. Approval to continue the Public Hearing to Tuesday,May 26,2026,at 9:15 a.m.to consider the withdrawal of Squaxin Island Tribe territory from South Mason Fire Protection District No.4. Public Testimony: Vicki Kruger,Squaxin Island Tribe(Tribe)elder,stated that this is a matter of life and death and warned that approving this would unfairly exclude their community and urged the BOCC to not approve the request. Charlene Krise,Tribe member,thanked the district for coming to her house to help during a recent medical issue. She has great respect for the work they do and sad that they are making this move. Beverly Hawks lifelong Kamilche area resident,expressed concern about the fire district withdrawing services,questioned its benefit to the tribe,highlighted the life-or-death importance of emergency response in a rural area,and urged negotiation and cooperation to reach a workable agreement. Joshua Whitener,Tribal Council Treasurer,stated that withdrawing tribal land would not benefit tribal or local communities and would increase response times.Negotiations with the fire district have been ongoing and they are close to agreement. The proposed withdrawal is premature and emotional,and he emphasized a long-standing collaborative relationship. He urged denial of the request and would like a continued partnership. April 28, 2026 1 Page 3 of 6 Maria Littleson,descendant of the Skokomish tribe and a Tribe program manager,emphasized the critical role of the fire district in saving lives and supporting vulnerable elders. She highlighted real-life emergencies to stress that response times are life-or-death and expressed strong appreciation for the partnership,urging continued collaboration and an agreement to maintain services. Eric Quinn,council representing South Mason Fire and Rescue,stated that the proposed withdrawal is a legally authorized,financially driven decision—not an emotional one—based on the district's statutory duty to serve all areas equally.He explained that rising service demands and limited tax revenue, especially from non-taxable tribal trust lands,create an unsustainable unfunded obligation.The withdrawal is presented as benefiting both the district and the tribe by preventing service degradation and allowing the tribe to develop its own fire services,while enabling the district to maintain adequate service levels overall. Nathan Shreiner,council for the Tribe,argued that the BOCC's role is limited to determining whether the withdrawal benefits the tribe,and having multiple tribal members testify against the proposal shows that it does not. He explained that active negotiations and existing agreements provide a path to address financial concerns without withdrawal. Sadie Whitener,local tax payer,stated that this conversation erodes her faith in this district to think they would not respond to her friends that live near her that are tribal members. Charlene Krise requested that they be allowed to go back to the table to discuss financial issues,which would give us time to work this out. Gregory Rudouph,Fire Chief,acknowledged the emotional nature of the issue but emphasized the need for long-term sustainability.He stated that increasing demand from tribal growth,combined with limited revenue and rising costs,creates an unsustainable model.The proposed withdrawal was described as a necessary,forward-looking decision to maintain service levels and financial stability, while still seeking partnership. Beverly Hawks again expressed concern that the withdrawal frames tribal services as a financial burden and disputed claims that the tribe does not contribute. She urged the fire commission to support continued partnership and renegotiation,emphasizing that both sides should return to the table to address funding and maintain cooperation. Lisa Jones,Squaxin tribal member, shared a personal experience highlighting the importance of timely fire and EMS response,expressed gratitude for the fire district,and emphasized the tribe's willingness to contribute financially. She urged better communication,negotiation,and continued partnership to ensure services remain in place for the community. Ray Peters, Squaxin tribal member stated that the tribe has historically paid for fire services through negotiated agreements and disputed claims that the tribe does not contribute financially.He noted that the existing contract runs through 2031 and argued that the tribe is being unfairly singled out in the proposed redistricting and urged that the issue be put to a public vote. Vicki Kruger described historically positive relationships with local emergency services and expressed frustration with current fire district leadership,attributing to the breakdown in relations with recent decisions. She strongly criticized the fire chief and commissioners and opposed the proposed withdrawal,urging continued service to the community.. Christy Krise,Puyallup Squaxin tribal member,shared a personal experience of delayed emergency response involving a family member and expressed concern about response times to the reservation. They also addressed comments about taxation,noting that many tribal members who are employed do pay taxes. The speaker expressed emotional concern about the current situation and its impact on the community. April 28, 2026 1 Page 4 of 6 Taylor Krise,Tribal Council member,emphasized the importance of maintaining focus on community safety while acknowledging that financial and business issues are central to the dispute.He expressed a desire for continued dialogue with the fire district to better understand cost concerns and called for renewed negotiation to reach a fair agreement,or send it to the people for a vote. Eric Quinn raised a procedural concern about election timelines,noting that delaying a decision today could affect ballot placement under state election law and recommended the BOCC consult with county legal counsel. Nathan Shreiner advised consulting county legal counsel regarding election timing,stating the matter could be deferred and that state election laws would likely take precedence over fire district statutes.He reiterated that multiple tribal members living in the district have testified that the withdrawal would not benefit them,which is central to the BOCC required finding. DISCUSSION: Cmmr.Neatherlin stated that the proposal is based on financial considerations rather than race and noted the district is under significant burden.He expressed that decisions of this nature should rest with the public when possible,does not see the withdrawal as benefiting the tribe,and supported either continuing the matter for further negotiation or denying it so it proceeds to a vote of the people. Cmmr.Trask emphasized communication and collaboration,raised questions about ballot costs and process,and expressed leaning toward denying the request so it could go to a public vote. She reaffirmed respect for tribal sovereignty,appreciation for first responders,and the importance of decisions being made in the public's interest. McKenzie reported that she has worked with legal staff and the options before them today has support of the legal team. The Election department is aware and ready to go if they chose option 2. Cmmr's discussed the option of delaying this decision for two weeks and what that timeline would mean for holding a special election. Cmmr.Tarzwell acknowledged concerns from both sides and noted support for delaying the decision to allow further negotiation. He expressed sympathy for the fire district's position,stated the action did not appear to be motivated by malice,and emphasized the district's intent to maintain service capacity for the broader community. 10:25 a.m. Broke for Executive Session—RCW 42.30.110(1)(i)Potential Litigation. 10:40 a.m. The BOCC discussed the legal aspects of this with County council and it was determined that the public hearing could be postponed until May 12,2026 for further public comment and deliberation. Cmmr.Neatherlin/Trask moved and seconded to continue the public hearing to May 12,2026 at 9:15 a.m.to finalize the discussion and take additional public comment. Motion carried.

The purpose of the R-10 district is to provide a high-density residential-area housing option within the Belfair urban growth area. Locations should be within or adjacent to development nodes and commercially zoned areas within a normal walking distance of one-half to three-quarters of a mile. Locations generally are areas not significantly impacted by critical areas and slopes.The district allows for a density of ten dwelling units per gross acre,and a minimum density of ten-five dwelling units per net developable acre. Clustering of the dwelling units and properties is encouraged to protect open space and water quality, reduce infrastructure needs,and enhance energy efficiency. Design standards are important to minimize environmental and visual impacts of developments and provide amenities for residents. Protection of creeks and wetlands is critical—these features should be preserved and integrated into the development as an asset and amenity for residents. Open space and play areas will be important, particularly for young families. Pedestrian access—between developments and to provide access to parks,open space,commercial,and civic uses—is also very important. (Ord. 133-04 Att. B§2 (part), 2004). (Ord.

Performance period is January 1,2026-September 30,2026. Background/Executive Summary: Mason County Emergency Management participates in the annual Emergency Management Performance Grant(EMPG)program administered by the Washington State Military Department.The Board of County Commissioners previously approved the county's primary FY24 EMPG award. As part of a statewide FY24 EMPG reallocation process,the Washington State Military Department redistributed unused FY24 EMPG funds from jurisdictions that did not require their full allocation. Through that redistribution,Mason County received an additional$4,800 in FY24 EMPG funds, issued under Contract E26-257. This reallocation supports the FY24 Reallocation Work Plan,which includes purchasing an ALE/SHARES high-frequency transceiver for the North Mason EOC. This equipment will provide infrastructure-independent long-distance emergency communications(300-2,500+miles) and ensure the County can maintain coordination with state and federal partners during major disasters when internet, cellular, and trunked radio systems may be inoperable for multiple days. While the FY24 EMPG reallocation provides partial funding for this capability,Mason County was not allocated an additional $5,650 required for needed radio system maintenance and repairs(for both primary and north EOCs), and completing the North EOC radio system installations. The funds needed for the installation of this SHARES/ALE radio were included in that$5,650. This cost will be forecasted under the FY25 EMPG request, for which the County has not yet received a contract. If the FY25 EMPG funding is not awarded or does not include this allocation,Mason County will need to return to the Board of County Commissioners to request the remaining funds necessary to complete the project. Completion of this system ensures continuity of operations during catastrophic communication failures, directly supporting Mason County's ability to maintain command, control, and coordination with state and federal partners when primary systems are degraded or unavailable. The operational benefit of establishing a resilient,infrastructure-independent communications capability outweighs the potential one-time cost to the County. Associated Costs/Budget Impact(amount, funding source,budget amendment, etc.): Increase 2026 Emergency Management revenue and expenditure authority by$4,800 to reflect receipt of this additional FY24 EMPG reallocation.An additional $5,650 for installation of this radio system, as well as needed maintenance and repairs for the existing radio systems, is anticipated to be requested under FY25 EMPG; if not awarded, a future request to the Commission may be necessary to complete the project.

ADMINISTRATIVE AND/OR FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS The Subrecipient shall comply with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements and program guidance identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents published by DHS/FEMA applicable to the 24EMPG Program, including, but not limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and requirements of "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) Fiscal Year 2024 Emergency Management Performance Grant Program" (hereafter "the NOFO"), the Preparedness Grants Manual, FM-207-23-0001 April 2024 (hereafter "the Manual"), the DHS Award Letter for the Grant, and the federal regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. The DHS Award Letter is incorporated in this Agreement as Attachment C. The Subrecipient acknowledges that since this Agreement involves federal award funding, the performance period may begin prior to the availability of appropriated federal funds. The Subrecipient agrees that it will not hold the Department, the State of Washington, or the United States liable for any damages, claim for reimbursement, or any type of payment whatsoever for services performed under this Agreement prior to distribution of appropriated federal funds, or if federal funds are not appropriated or in a particular amount. A. STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DHS/FEMA PREPAREDNESS GRANTS: The following requirements apply to all DHS/FEMA Preparedness Grants administered by the Department. 1. SUBAWARDS & CONTRACTS BY SUBRECIPIENT a. The Subrecipient must make a case-by-case determination whether each agreement it makes for the disbursement of 24EMPG funds received under this Agreement casts the party receiving the funds in the role of a subrecipient or contractor in accordance with 2 CFR 200.331. b. If the Subrecipient becomes a pass-through entity by making a subaward to a non-federal entity as its subrecipient: i. The Subrecipient must comply with all federal laws and regulations applicable to pass-through entities of 24EMPG funds, including, but not limited to, those contained in 2 CFR 200. ii. The Subrecipient shall require its subrecipient(s) to comply with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations, requirements, and program guidance identified or referenced in this Agreement and the informational documents published by DHS/FEMA applicable to the 24EMPG Program, including, but not limited to, all criteria, restrictions, and requirements of the NOFO, the Manual, DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 2 of 44 Mason County, E26-257 the DHS Award Letter for the Grant in Attachment C, and the federal regulations commonly applicable to DHS/FEMA grants. iii. The Subrecipient shall be responsible to the Department for ensuring that all 24EMPG federal award funds provided to its subrecipients, and associated matching funds, are used in accordance with applicable federal and state statutes and regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award set forth in Attachment C of this Agreement. iv. The Subrecipient must follow their own policies and procedures to eliminate or reduce the impact of conflicts of interest when making subawards, adhering to any applicable federal or state statutes or regulations. Any real or potential conflicts of interest must be reported to the Department in writing upon discovery. 2. BUDGET, REIMBURSEMENT, AND TIMELINE a. Within the total Grant Agreement Amount, travel, subcontracts, salaries, benefits, printing, equipment, and other goods and services or other budget categories will be reimbursed on an actual cost basis upon completion unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. b. The maximum amount of all reimbursement requests permitted to be submitted under this Agreement, including the final reimbursement request, is limited to and shall not exceed the total Grant Agreement Amount. c. If the Subrecipient chooses to include indirect costs within the Budget (Attachment F), additional documentation is required based on the applicable situation. As described in 2 CFR 200.414 and Appendix VII to 2 CFR 200: i. If the Subrecipient receives direct funding from any Federal agency(ies), documentation of the rate must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel per the following: A. More than $35 million, the approved indirect cost rate agreement negotiated with its federal cognizant agency. B. Less than $35 million, the indirect cost proposal developed in accordance with Appendix VII of 2 CFR 200 requirements. ii. If the Subrecipient does not receive direct federal funds (i.e., only receives funds as a subrecipient), the Subrecipient must either elect to charge a de minimis rate of ten percent (10%) or 10% of modified total direct costs or choose to negotiate a higher rate with the Department. If the latter is preferred, the Subrecipient must contact Department Key Personnel to request approval from FEMA per 2CFR 200.102(b).. d. For travel costs, the Subrecipient shall comply with 2 CFR 200.475 and should consult their internal policies, state rates set pursuant to RCW 43.03.050 and RCW 43.03.060 as now existing or amended, and federal maximum rates set forth at https://www.gsa.gov, and follow the most restrictive. If travel costs exceed set state or federal limits, travel costs shall not be reimbursed without written approval by Department Key Personnel. All international travel requires prior FEMA approval. e. Reimbursement requests will include a properly completed State A-19 Invoice Form and Reimbursement Spreadsheet (in the format provided by the Department) detailing the expenditures for which reimbursement is sought. Reimbursement requests must be submitted to Reimbursements(a)mil.wa.gov no later than the due dates listed within the Timeline (Attachment E). Reimbursement request totals should be commensurate to the time spent processing by the Subrecipient and the Department. f. Receipts and/or backup documentation for any approved items that are authorized under this Agreement must be maintained by the Subrecipient consistent with record retention DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 3 of 44 Mason County, E26-257 requirements of this Agreement and be made available upon request by the Department and auditors. g. The Subrecipient must request prior written approval from Department Key Personnel to waive or extend a due date in the Timeline (Attachment E). Waiving or missing deadlines serves as an indicator for assessing an agency's level of risk of noncompliance with the regulations, requirements, and the terms and conditions of the Agreement and may increase required monitoring activities. For waived or extended reimbursement due dates, all allowable costs should be submitted on the next scheduled reimbursement due date contained in the Timeline. Any request for a waiver or extension of a due date in the Timeline will be treated as a request for Amendment of the Agreement. This request must be submitted to the Department Key Personnel sufficiently in advance of the due date to provide adequate time for Department review and consideration and may be granted or denied within the Department's sole discretion. h. All work under this Agreement must end on or before the Grant Agreement End Date, and the final reimbursement request must be submitted to the Department within the time period notated in the Timeline (Attachment E) except as otherwise authorized by either(1) written amendment of this Agreement or(2)written notification from the Department to the Subrecipient to provide additional time for completion of the Subrecipient's project(s). If funds are not required, the Subrecipient shall notify the Department Key Personnel. i. All costs for equipment and supplies must be incurred, and items received, before the Grant Agreement End Date. j. Failure to submit timely, accurate, and complete reports and reimbursement requests as required by this Agreement (including, but not limited to, those reports in the Timeline (Attachment E)will prohibit the Subrecipient from being reimbursed until such reports and reimbursement requests are submitted and the Department has had reasonable time to conduct its review. k. Final reimbursement requests will not be approved for payment until the Subrecipient is current with all reporting requirements contained in this Agreement. I. A written amendment will be required if the Subrecipient expects cumulative transfers to approved, direct budget categories, as identified in the Budget (Attachment F), to exceed ten percent(10%)of the Grant Agreement Amount. Any changes to budget category totals not in compliance with this paragraph will not be reimbursed without approval from the Department. m. Subrecipients shall only use federal award funds under this Agreement to supplement existing funds and will not use them to replace (supplant) non-federal funds that have been budgeted for the same purpose. The Subrecipient may be required to demonstrate and document that a reduction in non-federal resources occurred for reasons other than the receipt or expected receipt of federal funds. 3. REPORTING a. With each reimbursement request, the Subrecipient shall report how the expenditures, for which reimbursement is sought, relate to the Work Plan (Attachment D) activities in the format provided by the Department. b. With the final reimbursement request, the Subrecipient shall submit to the Department Key Personnel a final report (in the format provided by the Department) describing all completed activities under this Agreement, status of training course completion by individual personnel, how the match was met and documented, and progress made with NQS implementation. c. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) and related OMB Guidance consistent with Public Law 109-282 as amended by section 6202(a) of Public Law 110-252 (see 31 U.S.C. 6101 note) and complete and return to the Department an Audit Certification/FFATA Form. This form is required to be completed once per calendar year, per Subrecipient, and not per agreement. The DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 4 of 44 Mason County, E26-257 Department's Contracts Office will request the Subrecipient submit an updated form at the beginning of each calendar year in which the Subrecipient has an active agreement. d. To document compliance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the Subrecipient shall complete the annual NIMS survey conducted by Washington Emergency Management Division (EMD). 4. NIMS COMPLIANCE a. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) identifies concepts and principles that answer how to manage emergencies from preparedness to recovery regardless of their cause, size, location, or complexity. NIMS provides a consistent, nationwide approach and vocabulary for multiple agencies or jurisdictions to work together to build, sustain, and deliver the core capabilities needed to achieve a secure and resilient nation. b. Consistent implementation of NIMS provides a solid foundation across jurisdictions and disciplines to ensure effective and integrated preparedness, planning, and response. NIMS empowers the components of the National Preparedness System, a requirement of Presidential Policy Directive 8, to guide activities within the public and private sector and describes the planning, organizational activities, equipping, training, and exercising needed to build and sustain the core capabilities in support of the National Preparedness Goal. c. In order to receive federal preparedness funding from the Department, the Subrecipient must ensure and maintain adoption and implementation of NIMS. See Agreement Attachment A, Article II section 3.c. for associated reporting requirements. The list of objectives used for progress and achievement reporting can be found at https://www.fema.gov/emergencV-managers/nims/implementation-training. d. FEMA requires phased implementation of the National Qualification System (NQS) for EMPG subrecipients. The NQS Implementation Objectives reflect the concepts and principles contained in NQS doctrine and aim to promote consistency in NQS implementation nationwide. Subrecipients will be considered in compliance with NQS requirements as long as they are working towards implementing the NQS Implementation Objectives can be found at https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema nims-ngs-implementation- obiectives fact-sheet.pdf. Only EMPG-funded deployable personnel (determined by the Subrecipient) will be required to meet NQS certification requirements. For 24EMPG NQS Phase 2 of implementation, Subrecipients must: i. Design procedures for an organizational qualification system and subsequently document approval. ii. Ensure designated EMPG-funded deployable personnel meet the minimum training requirements for their job title/position qualification. iii. Track qualification, certification and credentialling for EMPG-funded deployable personnel. iv. Describe the status of implementation as a part of the annual NIMS survey conducted by EMD staff at the end of the calendar year. v. Note within the EMPG final report which EMPG funded personnel are categorized as deployable and status of implementation, as applicable. 5. EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY MANAGEMENT a. The Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward shall comply with 2 CFR 200.317 through 200.327, and all Washington State procurement statutes,when procuring any equipment or supplies under this Agreement, 2 CFR 200.313 for management of equipment, and 2 CFR 200.314 for management of supplies, to include, but not limited to: DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 5 of 44 Mason County, E26-257 i. Upon successful completion of the terms of this Agreement, all equipment and supplies purchased through this Agreement will be owned by the Subrecipient, or a recognized non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient has made a subaward, for which a contract, Subrecipient grant agreement, or other means of legal transfer of ownership is in place. ii. All equipment, and supplies as applicable, purchased under this Agreement will be recorded and maintained in the Subrecipient's inventory system. iii. Inventory system records shall include: A. Description of the property B. Manufacturer's serial number, or other identification number C. Funding source for the property, including the Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN) (Face Sheet, Box 11) D. Assistance Listings Number (Face Sheet, Box 13) E. Who holds the title F. Acquisition date G. Cost of the property and the percentage of federal participation in the cost H. Location, use, and condition of the property at the date the information was reported I. Disposition data including the date of disposal and sale price of the property. iv. The Subrecipient shall take a physical inventory of the equipment, and supplies as applicable, and reconcile the results with the property records at least once every two years. Any differences between quantities determined by the physical inspection and those shown in the records shall be investigated by the Subrecipient to determine the cause of the difference. The Subrecipient shall, in connection with the inventory, verify the existence, current utilization, and continued need for the equipment. v. The Subrecipient shall be responsible for any and all operational and maintenance expenses and for the safe operation of the equipment and supplies including all questions of liability. The Subrecipient shall develop appropriate maintenance schedules and procedures to ensure the equipment, and supplies as applicable, are well maintained and kept in good operating condition. vi. The Subrecipient shall develop a control system to ensure adequate safeguards to prevent loss, damage, and theft of the property.Any loss, damage, or theft shall be investigated, and a report generated and sent to the Department's Key Personnel. vii. The Subrecipient must obtain and maintain all necessary certifications and licenses for the equipment. viii. If the Subrecipient is authorized or required to sell the property, proper sales procedures must be established and followed to ensure the highest possible return. For disposition, if upon termination or at the Grant Agreement End Date, when original or replacement supplies or equipment acquired under a federal award are no longer needed for the original project or program or for other activities currently or previously supported by a federal awarding agency, the Subrecipient must comply with the following procedures: A. For Supplies: If there is a residual inventory of unused supplies exceeding $5,000 in total aggregate value upon termination or completion of the project or program and the supplies are not needed for any other federal DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 6 of 44 Mason County, E26-257 award, the Subrecipient must retain the supplies for use on other activities or sell them, but must, in either case, compensate the federal government for its share. The amount of compensation must be computed in the same manner as for equipment. B. For Equipment: 1) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value of$5,000 or less may be retained, sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of with no further obligation to the federal awarding agency. 2) Items with a current per-unit fair-market value in excess of $5,000 may be retained or sold. The Subrecipient shall compensate the federal awarding agency in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.313 (e) (2). C. Notify Department Key Personnel to initiate the disposition process by the federal awarding agency. ix. Records for equipment shall be retained by the Subrecipient for a period of six years from the date of the disposition, replacement, or transfer. If any litigation, claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the six-year period, the records shall be retained by the Subrecipient until all litigation, claims, or audit findings involving the records have been resolved. b. The Subrecipient shall comply with the Department's Purchase Review Process, which is incorporated by reference and made part of this Agreement. No reimbursement will be provided unless the appropriate approval has been received. c. Allowable equipment categories for the grant program are listed on the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) located on the FEMA website at https://www.fema.gov/qrants/guidance-tools/authorized-equipment-list. It is important that the Subrecipient and any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward regard the AEL as an authorized purchasing list identifying items allowed under the specific grant program; the AEL includes items that may not be categorized as equipment according to the federal, state, local, and tribal definitions of equipment. The Subrecipient is solely responsible for ensuring and documenting purchased items under this Agreement are authorized as allowed items by the AEL at time of purchase. If the item is not identified on the AEL as allowable under the grant program, the Subrecipient must contact the Department Key Personnel for assistance in seeking FEMA approval prior to acquisition. d. Equipment might require more than one waiver. The Subrecipient must contact the Department Key Personnel for assistance in identifying what waivers are needed and in seeking FEMA approval prior to acquisition. e. Equipment purchases (those with a current per-unit fair market value in excess of $5,000) must be identified and explained to the Department. Use, management, and disposition of such equipment is subject to requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.313. Before making such purchases, the Subrecipient should analyze the cost benefits of purchasing versus leasing equipment, especially those subject to rapid technical advances. f. Unless expressly provided otherwise, all equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory state and DHS/FEMA adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using federal award funds. g. If funding is allocated to support emergency communications activities, the Subrecipient must ensure that all projects comply with SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency Communications Grants, located at https://www.cisa.gov/safecom/funding, including provisions on technical standards that ensure and enhance interoperable communications. DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 7 of 44 Mason County, E26-257 h. Effective August 13, 2020, FEMA recipients and subrecipients, as well as their contractors and subcontractors, may not obligate or expend any FEMA award funds to: i. Procure or obtain any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology of any system; ii. Enter into, extend, or renew a contract to procure or obtain any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology of any system; or iii. Enter into, extend, or renew contracts with entities that use covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system. This prohibition regarding certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment is mandated by section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (FY 2019 NDAA), Pub. L. No. 115-232 (2018) and 2 CFR 200.216, 200.327, 200.471, and Appendix 11 to 2CFR200. Recipients and subrecipients may use DHS/FEMA grant funding to procure replacement equipment and services impacted by this prohibition, provided the costs are otherwise consistent with the requirements of the Manual and the NOFO. Per subsections 889(f)(2)-(3) of the FY 2019 NDAA, and 2 CFR 200.216, covered telecommunications equipment or services means: iv. Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities); v. For the purpose of public safety, security of government facilities, physical security surveillance of critical infrastructure, and other national security purposes, video surveillance and telecommunications equipment produced by Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company, or Dahua Technology Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities); vi. Telecommunications or video surveillance services provided by such entities or using such equipment; or vii. Telecommunications or video surveillance equipment or services produced or provided by an entity that the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence or the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, reasonably believes to be an entity owned or controlled by, or otherwise connected to, the government of a covered foreign country. i. The Subrecipient must pass through equipment and supply management requirements that meet or exceed the requirements outlined above to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward under this Agreement. 6. ENVIRONMENTAL AND HISTORICAL PRESERVATION a. The Subrecipient shall ensure full compliance with the DHS/FEMA Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) program. EHP program information can be found at https://www.fema.gov/qrants/guidance-tools/environmental-historic all of which are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement. b. Projects that have historical impacts or the potential to impact the environment, including, but not limited to, construction of communication towers; modification or renovation of existing buildings, structures and facilities; installation of sonar system; or new construction including replacement of facilities, must participate in the DHS/FEMA EHP review process prior to initiation. Modification of existing buildings, including minimally invasive improvements such as attaching monitors to interior walls, and training or exercises occurring outside in areas not considered previously disturbed, also require a DHS/FEMA EHP review before project initiation. DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 8 of 44 Mason County, E26-257 c. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed project description that includes the entire scope of work, including any alternatives that may be under consideration, along with supporting documentation so FEMA may determine whether the proposed project has the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic properties. d. The Subrecipient agrees that to receive any federal preparedness funding, all EHP compliance requirements outlined in applicable guidance must be met. The EHP review process must be completed and FEMA approval received by the Subrecipient before any work is started for which reimbursement will be later requested. Expenditures for projects started before completion of the EHP review process and receipt of approval by the Subrecipient will not be reimbursed. 7. PROCUREMENT The Subrecipient shall comply with all procurement requirements of 2 CFR Part 200.317 through 200.327 and as specified in the General Terms and Conditions (Attachment B, A.10). a. For all contracts expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, per 2 CFR 200.1, the Subrecipient must notify the Department. The Department may request pre- procurement documents, such as request for proposals, invitations for bids and independent cost estimates. This requirement must be passed on to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward, at which point the Subrecipient will be responsible for requesting and reviewing pre-procurement documents. b. For all sole source contracts expected to exceed the micro-purchase threshold per 2 CFR 200.1, the Subrecipient must submit justification to the Department for review and approval. This requirement must be passed on to any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward, at which point the Subrecipient will be responsible for reviewing and approving sole source justifications to any non-federal entity to which Subrecipient makes any award. c. The Subrecipient as well as its contractors and subcontractors must comply with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA), which was enacted as a part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act §§ 70901-70297, Pub. L. No. 117-58 (2021); and Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America by All of America's Workers. BABAA requires any infrastructure project receiving federal funding must ensure: i. All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States. This means all manufacturing processes, from initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States. ii. All manufactured products must be produced in the United States. For a manufactured product to be considered produced in the United States, the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States must be greater than 55% of the total cost of all minimum amount of domestic content of manufactured product, unless subject to another standard. iii. All construction materials are manufactured in the United States. This means that all manufacturing processes for construction material occurred in the United States. Additionally, applicable infrastructure projects are subject to domestic preference requirements. A domestic preference does not apply to non-infrastructure spending under an award that also includes a covered project. A domestic preference applies to an entire infrastructure project, even if it is funded by both federal and non-federal funds under one or more awards. i. Domestic preferences under BABAA only apply to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a domestic preference apply to DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 9 of 44 Mason County, E26-257 equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of or permanently affixed to the structure. ii. Infrastructure, for the purposes of BABAA, includes, at a minimum, the structures, facilities, and equipment for, in the United States, roads, highways and bridges; public transportation; dams, ports, harbors and other maritime facilities; intercity passenger and freight railroads; freight and intermodal facilities; airports; water systems, including drinking water and wastewater systems; electrical transmission facilities and systems; utilities; broadband infrastructure; and buildings and real property. Infrastructure includes facilities that generate, transport, and distribute energy. iii. The Subrecipient's contractors and their subcontractors who apply or bid for an award for an infrastructure project subject to the domestic preference requirement in the BABAA shall file a required certification to the Subrecipient with each bid or offer for an infrastructure project, unless a domestic preference requirement is waived by FEMA. Contractors and subcontractors must certify that no federal financial assistance funding for infrastructure projects will be provided unless all the iron, steel, manufactured projects, and construction materials used in the project are produced in the United States. BABAA, Pub. L. No. 117-58, §§ 70901-52. Contractors and subcontractors shall also disclose any use of federal financial assistance for infrastructure projects that does not ensure compliance with BABAA domestic preference requirement. Such disclosures shall be forwarded to the Subrecipient who will forward them to the Department who, in turn, will forward the disclosures to FEMA. The Build America, Buy America Act Self-Certification form is included herein as Attachment G. If the Subrecipient is interested in applying for a waiver, the Subrecipient should contact the Department Key Personnel to determine the requirements. All waiver requests must include a detailed justification for the use of goods, products, or materials mined, produced, or manufactured outside the United States and a certification that there was a good faith effort to solicit bids for domestic products supported by terms included in requests for proposals, contracts, and nonproprietary communications with potential suppliers. 8. SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING a. The Department will monitor the activities of the Subrecipient from award to closeout. The goal of the Department's monitoring activities is to ensure that subrecipients receiving federal pass-through funds are in compliance with this Agreement, federal and state audit requirements, federal grant guidance, and applicable federal and state financial regulations, as well as 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. b. To document compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F requirements, the Subrecipient shall complete and return to the Department an Audit Certification/FFATA form. Reporting requirements are referenced in section 3.c. c. Monitoring activities may include, but are not limited to: i. Review of financial and performance reports ii. Monitoring and documenting the completion of Agreement deliverables iii. Documentation of phone calls, meetings (e.g. agendas, sign-in sheets, meeting minutes), e-mails and correspondence iv. Review of reimbursement requests and supporting documentation to ensure allowability and consistency with Agreement work plan, budget, and federal requirements v. Observation and documentation of Agreement related activities, such as exercises, training, events, and equipment demonstrations DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 10 of 44 Mason County, E26-257 vi. On-site visits to review equipment records and inventories, to verify source documentation for reimbursement requests and performance reports, and to verify completion of deliverables. d. The Subrecipient is required to meet or exceed the monitoring activities, as outlined above, for any non-federal entity to which the Subrecipient makes a subaward as a pass- through entity under this Agreement. e. Compliance will be monitored throughout the performance period to assess risk. Concerns will be addressed through a Corrective Action Plan. 9. LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 TITLE VI) a. The Subrecipient must comply with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) prohibition against discrimination on the basis of national origin, which requires that subrecipients of federal financial assistance take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to persons with limited English proficiency (LEP) to their programs and services. FEMA Policy FP-256-23-001 (www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema policy- language-access.pdf)further stresses this requirement applies to anyone awarded FEMA funding. Providing meaningful access for persons with LEP may entail providing language assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation. Executive Order 13166, Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency(August 11, 2000), requires federal agencies to issue guidance to recipients, assisting such organizations and entities in understanding their language access obligations. DHS published the required recipient guidance in April 2011, DHS Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons, 76 Fed.

The Subrecipient agrees to maintain all books, records, documents, receipts, invoices and all other electronic or written records necessary to sufficiently and properly reflect the Subrecipient's contracts, subawards, grant administration, and payments, including all direct and indirect charges, and expenditures in the performance of this Agreement (the "records"). b. The Subrecipient's records related to this Agreement and the projects funded may be inspected and audited by the Department or its designee, by the Office of the State Auditor, DHS, FEMA or their designees, by the Comptroller General of the United States or its designees, or by other state or federal officials authorized by law, for the purposes of determining compliance by the Subrecipient with the terms of this Agreement and to determine the appropriate level of funding to be paid under the Agreement. c. The records shall be made available by the Subrecipient for such inspection and audit, together with suitable space for such purpose, at any and all times during the Subrecipient's normal working day. d.

A.26 RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROJECT/STATEMENT OF WORK/WORK PLAN While the Department undertakes to assist the Subrecipient with the project/statement of work/work plan (project) by providing federal award funds pursuant to this Agreement, the project itself remains the sole responsibility of the Subrecipient. The Department undertakes no responsibility to the Subrecipient, or to any third party, other than as is expressly set out in this Agreement. The responsibility for the design, development, construction, implementation, operation and maintenance of the project, as these phrases are applicable to this project, is solely that of the Subrecipient, as is responsibility for any claim or suit of any nature by any third party related in any way to the project. Prior to the start of any construction activity, the Subrecipient shall ensure that all applicable federal, state, and local permits and clearances are obtained, including, but not limited to, FEMA compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, the Endangered Species Act, and all other environmental laws, regulations, and executive orders.

A.27 SEVERABILITY If any court of rightful jurisdiction holds any provision or condition under this Agreement or its application to any person or circumstances invalid, this invalidity does not affect other provisions, terms or conditions of the Agreement, which can be given effect without the invalid provision. To this end, the terms and conditions of this Agreement are declared severable. A.28 SINGLE AUDIT ACT REQUIREMENTS (including all AMENDMENTS) The Subrecipient shall comply with and include the following audit requirements in any subawards. Non-federal entities, as Subrecipients of a federal award, that expend $750,000 or more in one fiscal year of federal funds from all sources, direct and indirect, are required to have a single or a program- specific audit conducted in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. Non-federal entities that spend less than $750,000 a year in federal awards are exempt from federal audit requirements for that year, except as noted in 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F. As defined in 2 CFR Part 200, the term "non-federal entity" DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 20 of 44 Mason County, E26-257 means a state, local government, Indian tribe, institution of higher education, or nonprofit organization that carries out a federal award as a recipient or subrecipient. Subrecipients that are required to have an audit must ensure the audit is performed in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) as found in the Government Auditing Standards (the Revised Yellow Book) developed by the United States Comptroller General and the OMB Compliance Supplement. The Subrecipient has the responsibility of notifying its auditor and requesting an audit in compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, to include the Washington State Auditor's Office, a federal auditor, or a public accountant performing work using GAGAS, as appropriate. Costs of the audit may be an allowable grant expenditure as authorized by 2 CFR Part 200.425. The Subrecipient shall maintain auditable records and accounts so as to facilitate the audit requirement and shall ensure that any subcontractors also maintain auditable records. The Subrecipient is responsible for any audit exceptions incurred by its own organization or that of its subcontractors. Responses to any unresolved management findings and disallowed or questioned costs shall be included with the audit report. The Subrecipient must respond to Department requests for information or corrective action concerning audit issues or findings within 30 days of the date of request. The Department reserves the right to recover from the Subrecipient all disallowed costs resulting from the audit. After the single audit has been completed, and if it includes any audit findings, the Subrecipient must send a full copy of the audit and its Corrective Action Plan to the Department at the following address no later than nine (9) months after the end of the Subrecipient's fiscal year(s): Contracts Office Washington Military Department Finance Division, Building #1 TA-20 Camp Murray, WA 98430-5032 OR Contracts.Office(c mil.wa.gov The Department retains the sole discretion to determine whether a valid claim for an exemption from the audit requirements of this provision has been established. Conducting a single or program-specific audit in compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F is a material requirement of this Agreement. In the absence of a valid claim of exemption from the audit requirements of 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, the Subrecipient's failure to comply with said audit requirements may result in one or more of the following actions in the Department's sole discretion: a percentage of federal awards being withheld until the audit is completed in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F; the withholding or disallowing of overhead costs; the suspension of federal awards until the audit is conducted and submitted; or termination of the federal award. A.29 SUBRECIPIENT NOT EMPLOYEE The Subrecipient, and/or employees or agents performing under this Agreement, are not employees or agents of the Department in any manner whatsoever. The Subrecipient will not be presented as nor claim to be an officer or employee of the Department or of the state of Washington by reason hereof, nor will the Subrecipient make any claim, demand, or application to or for any right, privilege or benefit applicable to an officer or employee of the Department or of the state of Washington, including, but not limited to, Workers' Compensation coverage, unemployment insurance benefits, social security benefits, retirement membership or credit, or privilege or benefit which would accrue to a civil service employee under Chapter 41.06 RCW; OFM Reg. 4.3.1.1.8. It is understood that if the Subrecipient is another state department, state agency, state university, state college, state community college, state board, or state commission, that the officers and employees are employed by the state of Washington in their own right. If the Subrecipient is an individual currently employed by a Washington State agency, the Department shall obtain proper approval from the employing agency or institution before entering into this contract. A statement of"no conflict of interest" shall be submitted to the Department.

A.31 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, the Subrecipient may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to the Department Key Personnel identified in the Agreement, specifying the effective date thereof, at least thirty (30) days prior to such date. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Department, in its sole discretion and in the best interests of the state of Washington, may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part ten (10) business days after emailing notice. Upon notice of termination for convenience, the Department reserves the right to suspend all or part of the Agreement, withhold further payments, or prohibit the Subrecipient from incurring additional obligations of funds. In the event of termination, the Subrecipient shall be liable for all damages as authorized by law. The rights and remedies of the Department provided for in this section shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law. A.32 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION FOR LOSS OF FUNDING The Department may unilaterally terminate or suspend all or part of this Grant Agreement, or may reduce its scope of work and budget, if there is a reduction in funds by the source of those funds, and if such funds are the basis for this Grant Agreement. The Department will email the Subrecipient ten (10) business days prior to termination. A.33 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION FOR CAUSE In the event the Department, in its sole discretion, determines the Subrecipient has failed to fulfill in a timely and proper manner its obligations under this Agreement, is in an unsound financial condition so as to endanger performance hereunder, is in violation of any laws or regulations that render the Subrecipient unable to perform any aspect of the Agreement, or has violated any of the covenants, agreements or stipulations of this Agreement, the Department has the right to immediately suspend or terminate this Agreement in whole or in part. The Department may notify the Subrecipient in writing of the need to take corrective action and provide a period of time in which to cure. The Department is not required to allow the Subrecipient an opportunity to cure if it is not feasible as determined solely within the Department's discretion. Any time allowed for cure shall not diminish or eliminate the Subrecipient's liability for damages or otherwise affect any other remedies available to the Department. If the Department allows the Subrecipient an opportunity to cure, the Department shall notify the Subrecipient in writing of the need to take corrective action. If the corrective action is not taken within ten (10) calendar days or as otherwise specified by the Department, or if such corrective action is deemed by the Department to be insufficient, the Agreement may be terminated in whole or in part. The Department reserves the right to suspend all or part of the Agreement, withhold further payments, or prohibit the Subrecipient from incurring additional obligations of funds during investigation of the alleged compliance breach, pending corrective action by the Subrecipient, if allowed, or pending a decision by the Department to terminate the Agreement in whole or in part. In the event of termination, the Subrecipient shall be liable for all damages as authorized by law, including, but not limited to, any cost difference between the original Agreement and the replacement or cover Agreement and all administrative costs directly related to the replacement Agreement, e.g., cost of administering the competitive solicitation process, mailing, advertising and other associated staff time. The rights and remedies of the Department provided for in this section shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law. If it is determined that the Subrecipient: (1)was not in default or material breach, or(2)failure to perform was outside of the Subrecipient's control, fault or negligence, the termination shall be deemed to be a termination for convenience. A.34 TERMINATION PROCEDURES In addition to the procedures set forth below, if the Department terminates this Agreement, the Subrecipient shall follow any procedures specified in the termination notice. Upon termination of this Agreement and in addition to any other rights provided in this Agreement, the Department may require the Subrecipient to deliver to the Department any property specifically produced or acquired for the performance of such part of this Agreement as has been terminated. DHS-FEMA-EMPG-FY24 Page 22 of 44 Mason County, E26-257 If the termination is for convenience, the Department shall pay to the Subrecipient as an agreed upon price, if separately stated, for properly authorized and completed work and services rendered or goods delivered to and accepted by the Department prior to the effective date of Agreement termination, the amount agreed upon by the Subrecipient and the Department for(i) completed work and services and/or equipment or supplies provided for which no separate price is stated, (ii) partially completed work and services and/or equipment or supplies provided which are accepted by the Department, (iii) other work, services and/or equipment or supplies which are accepted by the Department, and (iv)the protection and preservation of property. Failure to agree with such amounts shall be a dispute within the meaning of the "Disputes" clause of this Agreement. If the termination is for cause, the Department shall determine the extent of the liability of the Department. The Department shall have no other obligation to the Subrecipient for termination. The Department may withhold from any amounts due the Subrecipient such sum as the Department determines to be necessary to protect the Department against potential loss or liability. The rights and remedies of the Department provided in this Agreement shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.

Stop work under the Agreement on the date, and to the extent specified, in the notice; b.

Emergency Management Organization Mason County Emergency Management PROJECT#1 TITLE ALE Transceiver for North Mason EOC PROJECT DESCRIPTION Purchase an ALE Transceiver for the North Mason EOC to add contingency and emergency interoperable communication via ALE and SHARES. Emergency Management currently relies on systems that are 90-95%dependent on internet, cellular, and trunked radio infrastructure. During a major disaster, such as a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake, regional communications outages are projected to last 3-10 days. The county currently has zero infrastructure-independent long-distance communications systems capable of reaching state or federal partners if these networks fail. A SHARES HF radio provides independent communications over 300-2,500+ miles without internet, cellular, or local infrastructure, connecting to the nationwide SHARES (Shared Resources) High Frequency Radio Program managed by Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.This capability ensures Emergency Management can maintain state and federal coordination within minutes of activation during extended outages. OUTCOME Establish an infrastructure-independent backup communications capability that allows Emergency Management to maintain coordination with state and federal partners during extended outages. A SHARES radio enables voice and digital communications over 300-2,500+ miles without internet or cellular networks, allowing contact with agencies in the SHARES (Shared Resources) High Frequency Radio Program managed by Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency within 15 minutes of activation, and sustaining communications during multi-day(3-10+day) infrastructure failures.

Bidder or Contractor Signature: Date: Print Name and Title: Washington Military Department Contract Number: FEDERAL DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION INELIGIBILITY and VOLUNTARY EXCLUSION (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS) What is "Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility, and Voluntary Exclusion"? These terms refer to the status of a person or company that cannot contract with or receive grants from a federal agency. In order to be debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded, you must have: • had a contract or grant with a federal agency, and • gone through some process where the federal agency notified or attempted to notify you that you could not contract with the federal agency. • Generally, this process occurs where you, the contractor, are not qualified or are not adequately performing under a contract, or have violated a regulation or law pertaining to the contract. Why am I required to sign this certification? You are requesting a contract or grant with the Washington Military Department. Federal law (Executive Order 12549) requires Washington Military Department ensure that persons or companies that contract with Washington Military Department are not prohibited from having federal contracts. What is Executive Order 12549? Executive Order 12549 refers to Federal Executive Order Number 12549. The executive order was signed by the President and directed federal agencies to ensure that federal agencies, and any state or other agency receiving federal funds were not contracting or awarding grants to persons, organizations, or companies who have been excluded from participating in federal contracts or grants. Federal agencies have codified this requirement in their individual agency Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs). What is the purpose of this certification?

ACCEPTED BY THE TRUSTEES OF THE WESTERN CONFERENCE OF TEAMSTERS PENSION TRUST FUND. BY DATE TRUSTEE POLICY ON ACCEPTANCE OF EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 1970 (As revised for amendments, extensions and new Pension Agreements effective on or after January 1, 2020) It is the policy of the Trustees of the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust Fund to accept as Employer Contributions only payments made in accordance with a Pension Agreement that is not detrimental to the Plan. The determination of whether or not a Pension Agreement is detrimental to the Plan shall be made by the Trustees in their sole discretion. However, the list of provisions that follows is furnished as an illustration of those whose inclusion in a Pension Agreement may result in a determination by the Trustees that the Pension Agreement is detrimental to the Plan. It should be noted,however,that the list is not intended as an inclusive list of all such types of provisions. 1. Provisions that limit the employees on whose account contributions are to be made to those above a specific age. 2. Provisions that limit the employees on whose account contributions are to be made to those who will be eligible for retirement within a specified period. 3. Provisions that limit the persons on whose account contributions are to be made to those who have satisfied a specific minimum period of employment or seniority, except that persons performing the work of the bargaining unit may, for a period not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days, be covered under a contribution rate not less than ten (10) cents per hour, including PEER,from their first date of employment or utilization. 4. Provisions that limit the employees on whose account contributions are to be made to those who have worked more than a specified minimum number of hours in a particular period. 5. Provisions that permit contributions on a basis that will produce a contribution less than on all straight time hours worked by the employee, provided that for purpose of this rule paid vacation and paid holiday hours shall be included in straight time hours worked. 6. Provisions which permit or require pension contributions for persons who are not performing the work of the bargaining unit. 7. Provisions which reduce contributions for each compensable hour to less than that which applied prior to any date, except as provided in Number 3 above. 8. Provisions that provide different contribution rates within the same job classification other than during the specified waiting period as defined in Number 3 above. (Different contribution rates for substantially different job descriptions or classifications are permissible as determined by the Trustees in their sole discretion. To illustrate this concept: driver, warehouse, office, mechanic, sales, production would be considered substantially different descriptions/classifications under this provision.) In administering the foregoing provisions, the Trustees, with regard to the interpretation of these Guidelines, will attempt to accommodate the bona fide needs of the parties to Pension Agreements as long as the Pension Agreements are not detrimental to the Plan. The Trustees, while retaining sole discretion over these issues, invite the parties to Pension Agreements to present proposals to the Trustees in advance of their adoption so that the Trustees may advise the parties on the acceptability of such proposals. TRUSTEE POLICY ON ACCEPTANCE OF EXTENDED, RENEWED, MODIFIED OR REPLACED PENSION AGREEMENTS WHERE EMPLOYER IS ON REFERRAL TO DELINQUENCY COLLECTION ATTORNEYS If a Covered Employer has been on referral to the Trust Fund's attorneys for a period of three months or more for collection of delinquent pension contributions due under a Pension Agreement,then the decision of whether to accept as a Pension Agreement any extensions, renewal, modification or replacement of that Pension Agreement shall be made by the Chairman and Co- Chairman/Secretary, acting jointly,rather than by an Area Administrative Office of the Trust Fund. This Policy shall not apply to an extension, renewal, modification or replacement of a Pension Agreement where the sole reason the Covered Employer is on referral is a delinquency discovered through an examination of the books and records of the Covered Employer by the Trustees or their representatives or resulting from a Trust billing for contribution amounts supplemental to amounts the Covered Employer has reported to the Trust Fund on monthly transmittal report forms. This Policy is supplemental to, and not in derogation of, the existing authority of the Chairman and Co-Chairman/Secretary to determine whether a collective bargaining agreement or other written agreement qualifies as a Pension Agreement and whether Employer Contributions under such agreement are accepted under the rules and regulations of the Trust Fund.

The total combined square footage is approximately 21,000 sq. ft. Full roof replacement is estimated at an average commercial cost of approximately $20 per square foot, totaling roughly $420,000, excluding tax and permitting. Facilities have identified an alternative solution using a roof coating system that can extend the life of the existing roofs by approximately 10 years. The County currently has two certified staff members qualified to apply this product in-house. In addition to extending roof life, the coating is expected to reduce roof surface temperatures by up to 30%,potentially lowering building cooling costs and improving energy efficiency. Associated Costs/Budget Impact(amount, funding source, budget amendment,etc.): • Estimated cost for coating materials, tools, and equipment: $60,000 • Work to be completed by County staff, minimizing labor costs (no prevailing wage ) • Project qualifies for REET funding • Significant cost savings compared to full replacement ($420,000+), Savings of$360,000 Public Outreach: Not applicable at this time Requested Action: Conduct a discussion and provide direction on whether to proceed with the roof coating option as a cost-effective interim solution or move forward with full roof replacement.

Mason County Agenda Request Form To: Board of Mason County Commissioners Item No. 10.1 From: Kell Rowen Ext:286 Department: Community Development Briefing: ❑ Action Agenda: Public Hearing: ❑ Special Meeting: ❑ Briefing Date(s): 3/23/2026,4/6/2026 Agenda Date(s): 4/14/2026 Internal Review: ❑ Finance ❑ Human Resources © Legal ❑ IT ❑ Risk ❑ Other (This is the responsibility of the requesting Department) Item:Set a public hearing for May 12, 2026 to consider amendments to Title 17 Zoning Code, Chapter 17.05,Section 17.05.034-Granting of variances authorized. Background/Executive Summary:Since zoning was implemented in the County(circa 1990s)the development regulations have allowed for administrative variances-under certain circumstances -to reduce the minimum setback from property lines to a minimum of 10 feet for front and rear yards(otherwise 25 feet and 20 feet respectively),and a minimum of five(5)feet for side yards (otherwise 20 feet). Administrative variances are processed and approved or denied during building permit review by the designated planner. DCD issues, on average, 180 applications per year.As the County continues to grow, staff has seen an increase in property line disputes, which is a civil matter.The County does not require surveyed property lines for building permit applications.This amendment would require a survey of the property line/s (unless survey markers can be identified) if applicants are requesting the reduced setbacks. In lieu of a survey,the County would accept an affidavit signed by the property owner/s of the shared property line-recorded to Title-acknowledging the location of the property line. This proposal will reduce the potential for boundary disputes and minimize staff time spent informally mediating property line disagreements between neighboring property owners.

South Mason Fire & Rescue 2970 SE Arcadia Rd. Shelton, WA. 98584 (360) 426-7222 / admin@smfr4.org January 9th, 2026 The Board of Fire Commissioners for Mason County Fire Protection District No. 4 (DBA South Mason Fire& Rescue) want to provide open communication with the local officials representing Mason County and apprise you of activity within our district and Squaxin Island Tribe. The Board welcomes open communication and wants to be transparent with our partners, so information is available to all. Mason County Fire Protection District No. 4 (District) serves the south portion of Mason County and is the third busiest fire district in the County. The District serves approximately 8500 in population over a 52 square mile area. In 2025 we responded to 1704 calls for service with a 15% overlap in calls (more than one call for service at a time). Since 2021 we have experienced an 11%increase in our call volume. The District has grown dramatically over the past five years. The department went from a volunteer staffing model to now having 13 Full Time union Firefighter/EMT's on staff, as well as three full-time administrative employees, two part-time employees and approximately 18 volunteers. The district also supports three employees through the North Mason Mobile Integrated Health Program (South County MIHP)that are stationed in District to provide medical assistance in citizens homes and follow up after being released from the hospital to provide services without the individuals needing to call 911. Mason County Fire Protection District No. 4 (South Mason Fire and Rescue)has been working with the Squaxin Island Tribe on renegotiating the contract for fire and emergency services. The intent of negotiations was to amend the current contract or develop a new contract prior to the expiration of the current contract for services. Currently Squaxin Island Tribe provides no monetary compensation for services provided. The contract for service that dates to 2006 does provide a house (that is being torn down) and a station with no living quarters. The station is only adequate for apparatus/equipment storage and office space for MIHP. Approximately 15% of the district annual calls are to tribal properties or businesses (like the casino and tribal housing) and the District receives no tax revenue from any of the properties served as it is not legal to impose a tax or tax replacement on a tribe. In lieu of taxes, Districts must rely on contracting with the tribal partners to recover costs for service delivery to assist with expenses for fire and EMS services. Abbreviated timeline: • September 2023, first meeting with Squaxin Council to discuss the impact of SIT on the District and request development of a new or modified contract to better serve all parties. • November 2023, contract meeting with SIT and request for proposal from SIT. • December 2023, delivery of proposal and further discussion on contract content. • January to October 2024, worked with Squaxin DEM on contract content and language proposals. • October 2024, meeting with Squaxin Council and informed the District would have a proposal in hand by November 2024. • January 2025, meeting with Squaxin Council delegate with no meaningful outcome. • April 2025, Fire Commissioners sent a letter to Squaxin Council requesting a joint meeting and informing SIT that the District does not intend to renew the contract for service in October 2026. There has been no meaningful response from the council. • July 2025, SMFR sent a letter to SIT reiterating that the current contract was not mutually beneficial and wished to terminate said contract on October 20, 2026, and also requested the proposal from SIT. SIT was also informed that we would be moving forward with removal of territory resolutions. • July 2025, a response letter from SIT opposing the removal of territory and asking for us to correspond with their delegate. • August 2025, approval of resolution#213 to remove SIT territories from District boundaries. • September 2025,had a joint SIT council and District commissioner meeting and agreed to formalize and commit to contract negotiations. • October through December 2025, continued negotiations with SIT • December 2025,rescinded resolution#213 and replaced with resolutions #220-#222 to remove SIT territories from District boundaries. The new resolutions should satisfy some of the ambiguity surrounding the definition of contiguous parcels in the RCW. • January 2026, Public hearing held and approval of resolutions #224-#225 to remove areas of SIT territories from District boundaries. Resolutions to be forwarded to Mason County. The Board understands that the removal of SIT territories may seem a drastic move but feel there is no other viable option. There is currently a contract in place that provides a station but no monetary compensation or cost recovery mechanism for the District. As SIT continues to expand and purchase properties it puts more of a service burden on the District and removes once taxable properties from the tax base (90% of our revenue). While we understand that SIT is contained within the boundaries of the District we also view them as a truly sovereign nation with the ability and obligation to provide services to the members of their nation. Whether we have a contract or not if SIT is part of the District we have no other choice but to continue to provide services, we are looking for a way to provide services with a safe level of staffing, appropriate apparatus, and remain financially stable to provide adequate service delivery within the boundaries of the District. The Board welcomes any questions. Signe Gregory C. Rudolph Fire Chief/District Secretary South Mason Fire &Rescue 0 South Mason Fire & Rescue 2970 SE Arcadia Rd.

Sincerely, enna Amsbury \ I / O RESOLUTION NO. 224 SOUTH MASON FIRE & RESCUE FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW (WITHDRAWAL OF TERRITORY-SQUAXIN ISLAND TRIBE) I. Procedural Background 1. Authority&Procedure. The Board initiated withdrawal by resolution under the alternative procedure of RCW 57.28.035,as authorized for fire protection districts by RCW 52.08.011, and noticed a District public hearing under RCW 57.28.050. 2. District Resolution & Territory. On December 3, 2025, the Board adopted a Resolution initiating withdrawal of identified Squaxin Island Tribe parcels (the "Territory"), attaching a parcel list (Exhibit A) and map (Exhibit B), and specifying that any withdrawal is effective no earlier than October 20, 2026. 3. Notice & District Hearing. The District issued public notice of a Board hearing set for January 7, 2026, consistent with RCW 57.28.040-.050, and conducted that hearing on the date noticed. 4. Transmittal to County. Under RCW 57.28.060, these Findings and the Board's recommendation shall be transmitted to the County legislative authority for the County's hearing and action under RCW 57.28.070-.080. II. Findings of Fact (RCW 57.28.050) A. Record & Evidence The Board considered the Resolution with Exhibit A(parcels) and Exhibit B (map), staff reports, written comments timely submitted, and oral testimony at the January 7, 2026 hearing. B. Statutory Boundary Criteria Substantial Area; Contiguity. The Territory, as finally established and defined by the Board, is substantial in area and consists of adjoining or contiguous properties, as depicted on Exhibit B and described in Exhibit A. Of note, Mason County does not have a boundary review board organized pursuant to RCW 36.93. C. Exclusions.No property within the Territory is currently"being furnished with water, sewer, or drainage service by"the District, and none is part of any such local improvement district of the Page 1 of 3 District;the Board therefore finds there is no statutory exclusion to apply under RCW 57.28.050 for those utilities. D. Benefit & General Welfare Questions (Mandatory Findings) a. Benefit to the Territory: (Yes) The Commission finds that withdrawal will benefit the Territory by ensuring Tribal self-government,by enabling the Tribe to establish its own fire department, which it is lawfully entitled to do, or allow for the Tribe to contract for fire services in a method that suits their needs and desired level of service. Finding: Pursuant to RCW 57.28.050(1), the Board finds that withdrawal of the Territory shall benefit the Tribe. b. General Welfare of the Balance of the District: (Yes) Withdrawal of the Territory will be conducive to the District's general welfare by reducing unfunded service burdens; improving fiscal sustainability and response capacity for remaining residents; and (c) clarifying dispatch, planning, and mutual-aid assumptions. Finding: Pursuant to RCW 57.28.050(2), the Board finds that withdrawal of the Territory will, on balance, further the general welfare of the District. E. Effective Date & Contract Synchronization Consistent with the District's Resolution, the effective date of any withdrawal is no earlier than October 20, 2026, ensuring no disruption of existing contractual service during the current lease/ILA term and aligning future territory with future obligations. III. Conclusions of Law(permissive findings) 1. The Board has complied with RCW 57.28.035-.050 (resolution method; notice; public hearing). 2. The Territory, as finally defined, satisfies RCW 57.28.050 (substantial area; adjoining or contiguous properties; requisite exclusions considered). 3. The Board has adopted affirmative findings on the statutory questions in RCW 57.28.050(1)—(2) (benefit to Territory; general welfare of balance of District). 4. Under RCW 57.28.060-.080, the County should hold its hearing and, upon making the same affirmative findings, adopt a county resolution declaring the Territory withdrawn effective no earlier than October 20, 2026, using the boundaries "as established and defined"by the District. IV. Recommendation to County The Board recommends that the County legislative authority adopt findings identical or substantially similar to the Board's and declare the Territory withdrawn by county resolution under Page 2 of 3 RCW 57.28.080, using the District's attached Exhibits A (all parcels within the Territory) and Exhibit B (boundary map of the Territory) and the effective date condition of October 20, 2026. er Adopted by the Board of Fire Commissioners, South Mason Fire & Rescue, this I day of , 2026. -z //o /a D.Abraham'Gardner, Board Chair • 2WC7( / / Greg nicki ommissioner & tk2 & 2E i(726 Curt Bennett.
