deemed a breach entitling CONTRACTOR to termination or damages, provided that COUNTY
promptly gives notice in writing to the CONTRACTOR of the nature of the default or failure to
perform, and in no case more than ten (10) days after it determines to withhold amounts
otherwise due. A determination of the Administrative Officer set forth in a notice to the

perform shall be deemed conclusive, except to the extent that the CONTRACTOR acts within
the times and in strict accord with the provisions of the Disputes clause of this CONTRACT.

CONTRACT, to take all or any of the following actions: (1) cure any failure or default, (2) to pay
any amount so required to be paid and to charge the same to the account of the
CONTRACTOR, (3) to set off any amount so paid or incurred from amounts due or to become
due the CONTRACTOR. In the event the CONTRACTOR obtains relief upon a claim under the
Disputes clause, no penalty or damages shall accrue to CONTRACTOR by reason of good faith
withholding by COUNTY under this clause.

of this CONTRACT. No payments in advance or in anticipation of services or supplies to be

Industrial Insurance Waiver:
With respect to the performance of this CONTRACT and as to claims against COUNTY, its
officers, agents and employees, CONTRACTOR expressly waives its immunity under Title 51 of
the Revised Code of Washington, the Industrial Insurance Act, for injuries to its employees and
agrees that the obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless provided in this CONTRACT
extend to any claim brought by or on behalf of any employee of CONTRACTOR. This waiver is
mutually negotiated by the parties to this CONTRACT.
CONTRACTOR Commitments, Warranties and Representations:
Any written commitment received from CONTRACTOR concerning this CONTRACT shall be
binding upon CONTRACTOR, unless otherwise specifically provided herein with reference to
this paragraph. Failure of CONTRACTOR to fulfill such a commitment shall render
CONTRACTOR liable for damages to COUNTY. A commitment includes, but is not limited to,
any representation made prior to execution of this CONTRACT, whether or not incorporated
elsewhere herein by reference, as to performance of services or equipment, prices or options
for future acquisition to remain in effect for a fixed period, or warranties.
Defense and Indemnity Contract:
Indemnification by CONTRACTOR. To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONTRACTOR
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold COUNTY and its departments, elected and appointed
officials, employees, agents and volunteers, harmless from and against any and all claims,
damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to court costs, attorney's fees and
alternative dispute resolution costs, for any personal injury, for any bodily injury, sickness,
disease or death and for any damage to or destruction of any property (including the loss of use
resulting there from) which 1) are caused in whole or in part by any act or omission, negligent or
otherwise, of the CONTRACTOR, its employees, agents or volunteers or CONTRACTOR's
subcontractors and their employees, agents or volunteers; or 2) are directly or indirectly arising
out of, resulting from, or in connection with performance of this CONTRACT; or 3) are based
upon CONTRACTOR's or its subcontractors' use of, presence upon or proximity to the property
of COUNTY. This indemnification obligation of CONTRACTOR shall not apply in the limited
circumstance where the claim, damage, loss or expense is caused by the sole negligence of
COUNTY. This indemnification obligation of the CONTRACTOR shall not be limited in any way
by the Washington State Industrial Insurance Act, RCW Title 51, or by application of any other
workmen's compensation act, disability benefit act or other employee benefit act, and the
CONTRACTOR hereby expressly waives any immunity afforded by such acts. The foregoing
indemnification obligations of the CONTRACTOR are a material inducement to COUNTY to
enter into this CONTRACT, are reflected in CONTRACTOR's compensation, and have been
mutually negotiated by the parties.
Participation by County— No Waiver. COUNTY reserves the right, but not the obligation, to
participate in the defense of any claim, damages, losses or expenses and such participation
shall not constitute a waiver of CONTRACTOR's indemnity obligations under this CONTRACT.
Survival of CONTRACTOR's Indemnity Obligations. CONTRACTOR agrees all
CONTRACTOR's indemnity obligations shall survive the completion, expiration or termination of
this CONTRACT.
Indemnity by Subcontractors. In the event the CONTRACTOR enters into subcontracts to the
extent allowed under this CONTRACT, CONTRACTOR's subcontractors shall indemnify
COUNTY on a basis equal to or exceeding CONTRACTOR's indemnity obligations to COUNTY.

Modifications:
Either party may request changes in the CONTRACT. Any and all agreed modifications, to be
valid and binding upon either party, shall be in writing and signed by both of the parties.
Termination for Default:
If CONTRACTOR defaults by failing to perform any of the obligations of the CONTRACT or
becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt or commits any act of bankruptcy or insolvency or
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, COUNTY may, by depositing written notice to
CONTRACTOR in the U.S. mail, terminate the CONTRACT, and at COUNTY's option, obtain
performance of the work elsewhere. If the CONTRACT is terminated for default,
CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any further payments under the CONTRACT

same as if the notice of termination had been issued pursuant to the Termination for Public
Convenience paragraph hereof.
Termination for Public Convenience:

its sole discretion, that such termination is in the interests of COUNTY. Whenever the
CONTRACT is terminated in accordance with this paragraph, CONTRACTOR shall be entitled

during the term, whether for default or convenience, shall not constitute breach of CONTRACT
by COUNTY.
Termination for Reduced Funding:
COUNTY may terminate this CONTRACT in whole or in part should COUNTY determine, in its
sole discretion, that such termination is necessary due to a decrease in available project funding
including State and/or Federal grants. Whenever the CONTRACT is terminated in accordance
with this paragraph, the CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to payment for actual work performed
in compliance with Exhibit A Scope of Service and Exhibit C Budget.
Disputes:
1. Differences between the CONTRACTOR and COUNTY, arising under and by virtue of the
AGREEMENT shall be brought to the attention of COUNTY at the earliest possible time in
order that such matters may be settled or other appropriate action promptly taken. For
objections that are not made in the manner specified and within the time limits stated, the
records, orders, rulings, instructions, and decisions of the Administrative Officer shall be final
and conclusive.
2. The CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to additional compensation which otherwise may
be payable, or to extension of time for (1) any act or failure to act by the Administrative
Officer of COUNTY, or (2) the happening of any event or occurrence, unless the
CONTRACTOR has given COUNTY a written Notice of Potential Claim within ten (10) days
of the commencement of the act, failure, or event giving rise to the claim, and before final
payment by COUNTY. The written Notice of Potential Claim shall set forth the reasons for
which the CONTRACTOR believes additional compensation or extension of time is due, the
nature of the cost involved, and insofar as possible, the amount of the potential claim.
CONTRACTOR shall keep full and complete daily records of the work performed, labor and
material used, and all costs and additional time claimed to be additional.
3. The CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to claim any such additional compensation, or
extension of time, unless within thirty (30) days of the accomplishment of the portion of the
work from which the claim arose, and before final payment by COUNTY, the
CONTRACTOR has given COUNTY a detailed written statement of each element of cost or
other compensation requested and of all elements of additional time required, and copies of
any supporting documents evidencing the amount or the extension of time claimed to be
due.

Arbitration:
Other than claims for injunctive relief brought by a party hereto (which may be brought either in
court or pursuant to this arbitration provision), and consistent with the provisions hereinabove,
any claim, dispute or controversy between the parties under, arising out of, or related to this
CONTRACT or otherwise, including issues of specific performance, shall be determined by
arbitration in Shelton, Washington, under the applicable American Arbitration Association (AAA)
rules in effect on the date hereof, as modified by this CONTRACT. There shall be one arbitrator
selected by the parties within ten (10) days of the arbitration demand, or if not, by the AAA or
any other group having similar credentials. Any issue about whether a claim is covered by this
CONTRACT shall be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall apply substantive law
and may award injunctive relief, equitable relief(including specific performance), or any other
remedy available from a judge, including expenses, costs and attorney fees to the prevailing
party and pre-award interest, but shall not have the power to award punitive damages. The
decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and an order confirming the award or
judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The parties agree
that the decision of the arbitrator shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between them
regarding any dispute presented or pled before the arbitrator. At the request of either party
made not later than forty-five (45) days after the arbitration demand, the parties agree to submit
the dispute to nonbinding mediation, which shall not delay the arbitration hearing date; provided,
that either party may decline to mediate and proceed with arbitration.
Any arbitration proceeding commenced to enforce or interpret this CONTRACT shall be brought
within six (6) years after the initial occurrence giving rise to the claim, dispute or issue for which
arbitration is commenced, regardless of the date of discovery or whether the claim, dispute or
issue was continuing in nature. Claims, disputes or issues arising more than six (6) years prior
to a written request or demand for arbitration issued under this Agreement are not subject to
arbitration.
Venue and Choice of Law:
In the event that any litigation should arise concerning the construction or interpretation of any
of the terms of this CONTRACT, the venue of such action of litigation shall be in the courts of
the State of Washington and Mason County. Unless otherwise specified herein, this
CONTRACT shall be governed by the laws of Mason County and the State of Washington.
Severability:
If any term or condition of this CONTRACT or the application thereof to any person(s) or
circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other terms, conditions or
applications which can be given effect without the invalid term, condition or application. To this
end, the terms and conditions of this CONTRACT are declared severable.
Waiver:
Waiver of any breach or condition of this CONTRACT shall not be deemed a waiver of any prior
or subsequent breach. No term or condition of this CONTRACT shall be held to be waived,
modified or deleted except by an instrument, in writing, signed by the parties hereto. The failure
of COUNTY to insist upon strict performance of any of the covenants of this CONTRACT, or to
exercise any option herein conferred in any one or more instances, shall not be construed to be
a waiver or relinquishment of any such, or any other covenants or contracts, but the same shall
be and remain in full force and effect.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICE
Project: Local Plan Committee Facilitation —5-Year Local Homeless Housing Plan
The Local Plan Committee (LPC) serves as a central, structured forum for system-wide
coordination of Mason County's homeless response. It operates in an advisory capacity to the
Housing and Behavioral Health Advisory Board, helping ensure that implementation efforts
remain aligned with broader policy and funding decisions.
Mason County has identified a critical coordination gap between its homelessness system and
its behavioral health crisis response system. These systems currently operate in separate
administrative silos, contributing to preventable cycles of crisis for people experiencing
homelessness with behavioral health needs. The 2025 SAMHSA/Homeless and Housing
Resource Center (HHRC) brief, Coordinating Systems of Care to Provide a Comprehensive
Behavioral Health Crisis Response to Individuals Experiencing Homelessness, provides a
national evidence base and action framework for closing this gap. The LPC is the appropriate
body to lead this coordination and ensure better outcomes locally.
Paul Knox, KnoxWorks will serve as the sole professional facilitator for the LPC and will be the
independent, neutral party responsible for meeting design, facilitation, documentation, and
stakeholder engagement throughout the contract term. The County retains decision-making
authority, and KnoxWorks supports the LPC in reaching its own decisions and
recommendations through well-designed processes.
The work has two interconnected purposes:
• LPC Infrastructure & Governance: Stand up the LPC as a functioning, equitable, and
accountable body with clear structure, membership, decision-making protocols, and
meeting rhythm.
• Behavioral Health & Homeless Crisis System Coordination: Guide the LPC through
its first phase of coordinating the homelessness and behavioral health crisis response
systems, consistent with the SAMHSA/HHRC framework and the Local Plan's
Operational Plan strategies.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, CONTRACTOR will maintain
insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. CONTRACTOR will use
existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet
the requirements set forth here, it will be amended to do so. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that
the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount
of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds in excess of the limits and coverage required in
this agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be available to COUNTY.
A. MINIMUM Insurance Requirements:
1. Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office "Commercial
General Liability" policy form CG 00 01, with an edition date prior to 2004, or the exact
equivalent. Coverage for an additional insured shall not be limited to its vicarious liability.
Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. Limits shall be no less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence for all covered losses and no less than $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily
injury, personal injury, property damage, and products/completed operations, including
without limitation, blanket contractual liability.
2. Contractor shall maintain Workers' Compensation coverage as required by applicable state
law for all employees engaged in the work. If Contractor has no employees and is exempt
from Washington State Workers' Compensation requirements, Contractor shall provide proof
of such exemption upon request. Employer's Liability coverage with limits of not less than
$1,000,000 per accident shall be required only where Workers' Compensation coverage is
maintained.
3. If Contractor operates owned, hired, or non-owned vehicles in connection with the work,
Contractor shall maintain automobile liability insurance with limits of not less than
$1,000,000 combined single limit.
4. Professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance. Consultant shall maintain professional
liability insurance that covers the Services to be performed in connection with this
Agreement, in the minimum amount of$1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. Any
policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of
this agreement and Consultant agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no
less than three years after completion of the services required by this agreement. Coverage
shall include acts, errors, or omissions arising from professional services, including housing
placement, case management, compliance reporting, and administration of grant funds.
5. Cyber Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain cyber liability insurance with limits
of not less than $250,000 per claim and annual aggregate for claims arising out of
CONTRACTOR's access to confidential or protected information through remote access and
CONTRACTOR-owned equipment. Coverage may be satisfied through standalone cyber
liability coverage or endorsements to another liability policy. Such coverage shall include
privacy liability, network security, breach response, notification, regulatory defense, and
Professional Services Contract (rev 07/2025) Page 19
system restoration expenses related to the access or use of confidential client or program
data.
6. Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit requirements,
shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages. Such
policy or policies shall include as insureds those covered by the underlying policies,
including additional insureds. Coverage shall be "pay on behalf", with defense costs payable
in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross-liability exclusion precluding coverage for
claims or suits by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to County for
injury to employees of Contractor, subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope
of coverage provided is subject to approval of County following receipt of proof of insurance
as required herein.
B. Certificate of Insurance:
A Certificate of Insurance naming COUNTY as the Certificate Holder must be provided to
COUNTY within five (5) days of CONTRACT execution.
C. Basic Stipulations:
1. CONTRACTOR agrees to endorse third party liability coverage required herein to include as
additional insureds COUNTY, its officials, employees, volunteers, and agents, using ISO
endorsement CG 20 10 with an edition date prior to 2004. CONTRACTOR also agrees to
require all contractors, subcontractors, and anyone else involved in this CONTRACT on
behalf of the CONTRACTOR (hereinafter"indemnifying parties") to comply with these
provisions.
2. CONTRACTOR agrees to waive rights of recovery against COUNTY regardless of the
applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all indemnifying parties to do
likewise.
3. All insurance coverage maintained or procured by CONTRACTOR or required of others by
CONTRACTOR pursuant to this CONTRACT shall be endorsed to delete the subrogation
condition as to COUNTY, or must specifically allow the named insured to waive subrogation
prior to a loss.
4. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional
requirements by COUNTY. CONTRACTOR shall not make any reductions in scope or limits
of coverage that may affect COUNTY's protection without COUNTY's prior written consent.
5. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide evidence of the insurance required herein, satisfactory to
COUNTY, consisting of: a) certificate(s) of insurance evidencing all of the coverages
required and, b) an additional insured endorsement to CONTRACTOR's general liability
policy using Insurance Services Office form CG 20 10 with an edition date prior to 2004.
CONTRACTOR agrees, upon request by COUNTY to provide complete, certified copies of
any policies required within 10 days of such request. COUNTY has the right, but not the
Professional Services Contract (rev 07/2025) Page 20
duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests. Any premium so
paid by COUNTY shall be charged to and promptly paid by CONTRACTOR or deducted
from sums due CONTRACTOR. Any actual or alleged failure on the part of COUNTY or any
other additional insured under these requirements to obtain proof of insurance required
under this CONTRACT in no way waives any right or remedy of COUNTY or any additional
insured, in this or in any other regard.
6. It is acknowledged by the parties of this CONTRACT that all insurance coverage required to
be provided by CONTRACTOR or indemnifying party, is intended to apply first and on a
primary non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available
to COUNTY.
7. CONTRACTOR agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions on any portion
of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any indemnifying
party to self- insure its obligations to COUNTY. If CONTRACTOR's existing coverage
includes a self-insured retention, the self-insured retention must be declared to the
COUNTY. The COUNTY may review options with CONTRACTOR, which may include
reduction or elimination of the self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other
solutions.
8. CONTRACTOR will renew the required coverage annually as long as COUNTY, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this
CONTRACT. This obligation applies whether or not the CONTRACT is canceled or
terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until COUNTY
executes a written statement to that effect.
9. The limits of insurance as described above shall be considered as minimum requirements.
Should any coverage carried by CONTRACTOR or a subcontractor of any tier maintain
insurance with limits of liability that exceed the required limits or coverage that is broader
than as outlined above, those higher limits and broader coverage shall be deemed to apply
for the benefit of any person or organization included as an additional insured and those
limits shall become the required minimum limits of insurance in all Paragraphs and Sections
of this CONTRACT.
10. None of the policies required herein shall be in compliance with these requirements if they
include any limiting endorsement that has not been first submitted to COUNTY and
approved of in writing.
11. The requirements in this Exhibit supersede all other sections and provisions of this
CONTRACT to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the
provisions of this Exhibit.
Professional Services Contract (rev 07/2025) Page 21
12. Unless otherwise approved by COUNTY, insurance provided pursuant to these
requirements shall be by insurers authorized to do business in Washington and with a
minimum A.M. Best rating of A-:VII.
13. All insurance coverage and limits provided by CONTRACTOR and available or applicable to
this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in
this CONTRACT limits the application of such insurance coverage.
14. CONTRACTOR agrees to require insurers, to provide notice to COUNTY thirty (30) days
prior to cancellation of such liability coverage or of any material alteration or non-renewal of
any such coverage, other than for non-payment of premium. CONTRACTOR shall assure
that this provision also applies to any subcontractors, joint ventures or any other party
engaged by or on behalf of contractor in relation to this agreement. Certificate(s) are to
reflect that the issuer will provide thirty (30) days' notice to COUNTY of any cancellation of
coverage.
15. COUNTY reserves the right at any time during the term of the CONTRACT to change the
amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONTRACTOR ninety (90) days
advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost
to the CONTRACTOR, the COUNTY and CONTRACTOR may renegotiate
CONTRACTOR's compensation.
16. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitation on other
requirements or as waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific
reference to a coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given
issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all-inclusive.
17. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to COUNTY of any claim or loss against
CONTRACTOR arising out of the work performed under this agreement. COUNTY assumes
no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the
handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve COUNTY.

4. De-obligation of CE/Care Coordination/Diversion Fund, MCETransitional Youth CE
a. In a rapid rehousing program (RRH) monitoring, it was found that only 41% of the
individuals active in the RRH program during FY26 were enrolled in the
Coordinated Entry (CE) MCETransitional Youth CE HMIS program. CE is
required for emergency shelter and rapid rehousing programs. Therefore, the De-
obligation equals the percentage of individuals not enrolled in the CE program.
5. When proportional billing is used, TYC will base proportionality on the number of
unduplicated households in all programs TYC operates.
a. Administration will include all grants and fund sources in the proportional use
category and must include the Day Center and Pathways programs.
i. Proportional use must include unduplicated Day Center visits
b. Operations will include verifiable direct expenses permitted by the Contractor.
c. Program Expenses (CHG 6.3.2) and Flexible Funds (CHG 6.3.3)
i. The CHG award is for housing assistance programs, with the emphasis
that expenses should be on housing and not food assistance, energy
assistance, etc.
ii. Expenses can be approved depending on the cost allocation and the
availability of other resources to meet the same need.
iii. Costs to the program must be reasonable and based on enrolled
households.
iv. The subcontractor will confirm that kits purchased with CHG funds are
provided only to enrolled households and are connected to their housing
stability plans. Not every household needs a kit, and households that pay
for their own laundry and hygiene supplies can have those expenses
included in their rent subsidy calculation.
v. Under Operations, approved program expenses may be proportionally
billed between the programs that use these items. The contractor must be
able to verify proportional billing.
2. TYC will notify the Contractor of any changes to employee positions or roles related to
CHG funds, including vacancies, job title or description changes, and the effective date.
ALL OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS of the original Contract and any subsequent
amendments hereto remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has affixed his/her signature in execution thereof on

Also, excepting therefrom any and all county maintained roads not
mentioned herein.
BACKGROUND:
The plat of Hood Canal Land and Improvement Co's Plan to Union City, recorded in Volume
1 of plats, Page 9 was dedicated on March 16, 1889. According to the ancient right of way
non-user statute known as the Session Laws of 1889-1890, now codified as RCW 36.87.090,
these areas have already been vacated as a matter of law. If the rights of way remained
unused for a period of 5 years thereafter dedication, the rights of way were vacated by
operation of law.
The rights of way are unopened and haven't been maintained by Mason County. This is
excepting out the named rights of way in the legal description and any other county
maintained right of way. The rights of way were dedicated prior to March 11, 1904, and
were dedicated to the public on March 16, 1889, when the plat of Hood Canal Land and
Improvement Co's Plan to Union City was originally filed.
Vacating this area would clear the cloud on title for the property owners. Public Works
acknowledges the rights of way were vacated by operation of law, pursuant to the Session
Laws of 1889-1890, thus relinquishing any interest Mason County had.
In compliance with RCW 36.87.40, at the Board of County Commissioners and County
Engineer's direction, Public Works Department staff examined those portions of the rights of
way and solicited comments on the proposed vacation. Our findings are the following:
1. The rights of way are unopened, and no records indicate they were opened or
maintained.
2. The rights of way are vacated by Operation of Law, pursuant to the Session Laws of
1889-1890.
3. The rights of way are classified as "Class C" per MCC 12.20.040, 12.20.050, &
12.20.060, therefore no compensation other than the Administrative Fee is due. This
is petitioned by the Mason County Public Works department, so no administrative fee
is due.

Public Notice
Public notice has been provided as required by RCW 36.87.050, both by posting at the site

of all unopened rights of way within Hood Canal Land and Improvement Co's Plan to Union
City, in Volume 1 of plats, Page 9, records of Mason County, Washington, all within Sections
31, 32, and 33, all in Township 22 North, Range 3 West, W.M.
The vacated areas will be subject to existing easements for ingress, egress, drainage, or

Mason County
2027 Information Technology Allocation Plan to Departments
Plan Notes
Using Data from the year ended December 31,2025
Rate Methodology: Information Technology(IT) pays for items and services approved by the Board of County
Commissioners that benefit the County as a whole. Items and services that benefit a single department are paid for
by that department,with the exception of certain phone costs. Phone charges that benefit a single department are
charged back to that department through the rates(see Schedule D). Prior year's Information Technology
expenditures are captured in the next year's budgeted rates. For example,2022 actual expenditures are charged in
the 2024 planned rates.The budget for the following year's Information Technology Fund is developed in
conjunction with the rates to ensure funding for all planned expenditures,shown on Schedule B.At the end of 2022
the County implemented MS Office countywide and those costs are funded through the IT rates. In 2023 an accrued
leave payout line of$50,000 was added in the IT budget.See Schedule A for Total IT Rates.
Future Planning:Schedule B-1 shows the current and future professional services plan.Schedule B-2 establishes a
reserve for capital expenditures to help ensure sufficient funding for unexpected expenditures.According to the
Mason County Computer Replacement Policy&Procedure,desktop and laptop computers should be purchased
with the intention of providing acceptable performance for no less than three years,with the goal of replacement
in the sixth year. Departments are responsible for the cost of the computers as put into the budget by the Budget
Manager,and IT staff will perform the work required to replace the computers.
Information Technology Cost Distribution:All information Technology costs are distributed based on budgeted full-
time equivalent employees(FTEs)for the budget year in which the actual rates are based upon. For example, 2027
rates are based upon 2025 actual expenditures,so 2025 budgeted FTEs is used as the basis for distribution. In prior
years,phone costs were distributed based on the number of extensions assigned to each department.This was
changed to FTE in 2024 to simplify the rate process.All FTEs use the phone system either directly or indirectly and
moving to FTE simplifies the rate process.The rate distribution by budgeted FTE is shown on Schedule C.

Item:
2025 Comparison of Equipment, Rental&Revolving Fund(ER&R) and Motor Pool Cost Analysis
Background/Executive Summary:
In March 2020,the Current Expense,Health Services, and Information Technology Departments began
using an outside fleet management service and separated their fleet operations from the internal
Equipment,Rental&Revolving Fund(ER&R). Prior to the separation, a 10-year plan was developed to
estimate the cost savings associated with transitioning the fleet to an outside leasing service through
Enterprise Fleet Management.
The plan has since been updated to include actual Motor Pool expenditures from 2020 through 2025 and
compares those costs with inflation-adjusted average ER&R expenditures from 2018 and 2019 using the
Bremerton area CPI-U. The ER&R expenditures include both direct and indirect costs by vehicle type:
Police Pursuit Vehicles(PPV) and White Fleet(WF).The original 2018 and 2019 average ER&R
expenditure data was presented to the Board on March 8,2021.
Associated Costs/Budget Impact(amount, funding source,budget amendment, etc.):
From 2020 through 2025,the County has realized estimated savings of approximately$770,000 for White
Fleet vehicles and approximately$1,300,000 for Police Pursuit Vehicles,for a combined estimated
savings of approximately$2.07 million. This equates to an average annual savings of approximately
$345,000 as a result of the County's partnership with Enterprise Fleet Management.
Public Outreach:
Enterprise Fleet Management was selected as Mason County's capital vehicle leasing partner through a
request for proposals process(RFP) in 2020.
Requested Action:
Request that the Board review the 10-year cost comparison between the ER&R and Motor Pool programs.

Draft 2027 Mason County Preliminary Budget Guidelines and Budget Adoption Calendar
Background/Executive Summary:
One of the Board of County Commissioners'most important responsibilities is adopting a balanced
budget by December 31 each year. Staff is presenting the DRAFT 2027 Budget Preparation Guidelines,
originally briefed on May 11, for Board review and discussion.
The purpose of the budget guidelines is to establish a consistent and transparent process for preparing the
2027 preliminary budget for all Mason County offices and departments. These guidelines aim to align
financial planning with strategic priorities,ensure fiscal responsibility, and support essential public
services.
The Board of Mason County Commissioners typically sends out budget guidelines on or before the
Auditor's call for budgets.Pursuant to RCW 36.40.010,the notice to file budget requests is due by the
second Monday in July.Under RCW 36.40.050,the Auditor submits the preliminary budget to the Board
on or before the first Tuesday in September. The Board then reviews the submitted budget and makes any
revisions it deems advisable.
Associated Costs/Budget Impact(amount, funding source,budget amendment, etc.):
The budget guidelines are issued under the authority of the Mason County Board of Commissioners and
provide a framework for collaborative,transparent, and responsible budget planning.
Public Outreach:
The budget process is open to the public, and public comment is encouraged during designated times
throughout the process.
Requested Action:
Request the Board of County Commissioners review and approve the 2027 Mason County Preliminary
Budget Preparation Guidelines.

DRAFT 2027 Preliminary Budget Preparation Guidelines
2027 Budget Adoption Calendar
June 23, 2026
To: Elected Officials& Department Heads
Re: Mason County Commissioners' 2027 Preliminary Budget Preparation
Guidelines
The following are the Board of County Commissioners'guidelines for the
Preliminary Budget. Preliminary budgets are due to the Auditor in the Munis
Financial System by close of business on Monday,August 10, 2026.
Elected Officials and Department Heads are asked to present a 2027 baseline
budget at 2026 adopted budget levels. Approved contractual increases are added
to the office or department's bottom line from the previous year in a baseline
budget.
Please implement the following guidelines when developing 2027 Preliminary
Budgets:
BEGINNING FUND BALANCE (BFB) ESTIMATES
■ The Budget Office will make initial BFB estimates based on cash balances as of
June 30th and the current 2026 budget. Estimates will be emailed to offices and
departments by mid-July. Offices/departments that manage special funds should
make their own estimates and email changes to the Budget Office.The
Commission will reference the County's fund balance policy, currently Resolution
No. 2025-067, when adopting the annual budget.
REVENUE LEVELS
■ Current Expense Property Tax levy may include an increase.
■ Roads Property Tax levy may include an increase.
■ Budget with existing fees and service charge schedules; review for proposed fee
increases if applicable.
■ Grants should be budgeted conservatively with projected amounts to be
received within the proper budget year.
■ The Treasurer estimates that Interest rates on investments will be 3.6%.
EXPENDITURE LEVELS
SALARIES& BENEFITS:
Salary& Benefit Projections will be emailed to Departments by the Budget Office
by mid-July. Differences in calculations should be entered into the spreadsheet
provided and sent back with an explanation.
Further guidance on calculations:
■ Wages for union-represented employees with signed union contracts should
reflect general wage, step, and COLA increases as outlined in the contracts.
■ Wages for non-represented employees shall reflect step increases only, except
for Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney wages in Resolution No. 2026-006.The
BOCC may increase non-represented wages later.
■ Wages for Elected Officials shall reflect the dollar amounts as stated in the
Mason County Citizens' Commission on Salaries, currently Resolution No. 2024-
1
070, except for Prosecuting Attorney wages in Resolution No. 22-19, and Superior
Court and District Court Judges salaries, as set by the WA Citizens' Commission
(WCCSEO).
■ The Benefit Rate Sheet will be emailed to Departments by the Budget Office by
mid-July. Medical budgets should reflect pooled amounts paid by the County
times the number of FTE employees. Use budget expense accounts ending in
520040 for medical.
■ New position requests are strongly discouraged by the Commission unless fully
supported by new revenue. New position requests must go through Human
Resources via the following link:
https://www.cognitoforms.com/masoncountyl/newpositionrequest
Put the total salary and benefit amount of a new position request in the
preliminary budget on a BARS line titled "2027 Unapproved Budget Request".
EXPENDITURE RATES:
All internally calculated rates will be emailed by the Budget Office by mid-July and
include:
■ 2027 Internal Allocations—see tab A-1: use budget expense accounts ending in
541019.
■ 2027 State Auditor Charges: now included in the internal allocations and do not
need to be budgeted by individual departments.
■ 2027 Motor Pool rates: use budget expense accounts ending in 5xx777, 5xx778,
and 575100.
■ 2027 Information Technology rates: use budget expense accounts ending in
545952.
■ 2027 IT Computer Replacement: IT will send out a list of computers to be
replaced in 2027 out of each office/department budget. Use budget expense
accounts ending in 535098.
■ 2027 Unemployment rates: $200 per FTE based on 2026's adopted budget FTE
counts. Elected Officials do not receive an unemployment rate charge. Use
budget expense accounts ending in 546096.
■ 2027 ER&R vehicle rates: use budget expense accounts ending in 545951.
OTHER REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE GUIDANCE:
■ Inter-County Transfers- In must balance with Inter-County Transfers-Out. Please
communicate with the transferring from office or department, as unbalanced
transfers may be removed or changed during the budget process.
■ Reimbursable interdepartmental expenses budgeted in one fund should be
budgeted as revenue in another fund.
■ Budget debt service per the Treasurer's Debt Service schedule.
■ Building Remodel Requests go to Facilities so that Facilities may budget
accordingly.
■ Traffic Policing Diversion is budgeted at$2,160,000—Funding from Roads
Property Tax Levy.The BOCC may change the diversion amount during budget
preparation.
2
■ Expenditure authority shall be adopted as two bottom lines for all Elected
Officials and County Department budgets, including Special Funds, in accordance
with Resolution No. 26-17: one bottom line for the total salaries and benefits and
one bottom line for operational expenses. Ending Fund Balance is not an
appropriation.
■ Overall expenditures will be reviewed in relation to reserve requirements
identified in Resolution No. 2025-067.
■ Departments are encouraged to seek new grant awards as new expenditure
requests may not be considered without a funding source.
MUNIS BUDGET
Prepare internal budget analysis via any method you prefer. The Auditor will send
processing instructions to enter budgets in Munis.
The 2027 Munis budget entry will include the following:
■ Budget 1—Preliminary Budget Request—Budget Level 1 will be populated with
2026 adopted budget numbers. Departments may change the numbers to the
requested amounts.
■ Budget 2—Auditor's Preliminary Budget—The Auditor will make error
correction changes to preliminary budget requests.
■ Budget 3- Maintenance Level Changes(MLC)—2026 adopted budget plus non-
discretionary changes, i.e. CBA's in effect, L&I, DRS, and medical changes. Budget
Level 3 will be entered by the Budget Office.
■ Budget 4—Policy Level Requests (PLR)—This is the difference between Budget
Level 2 and Budget Level 3, and will populate automatically.The Budget Office
will email a draft budget level spreadsheet to departments by mid-August.An
explanation or justification and project number should be entered into the
'Comments' and 'Project No.' columns for any amount in Budget Level 4. In
addition, the attached project form may be filled out for each new "project"
requested in the 2027 budget. A project request may include multiple BARS lines,
and both revenue and expenses to show how the "project" was derived.The
following are considered projects:
1. New staffing request(s)
2. Capital &Vehicle Purchases
3. Operational requests by project
4. All other items over Maintenance Level Changes
Requests for new spending without a corresponding funding source are unlikely
to be considered for budget approval by the Board.
BUDGET NARRATIVES
A Budget Narrative helps the Board and the public understand what each
office/department is responsible for and should include the following
information:
■ 2025, 2026, and 2027 FTE count, and Organizational Chart
3
■ FTE position allocations and funding sources, if any
■ Proposed Fee Increases
■ Workload Indicators—include a 3 year history comparison
■ Project Level Changes (Budget Level 4 in Munis— Instructions and training to
follow)
Please email budget narratives to the Budget Manager via email (no paper copies)
by September 18th
A separate email invitation will be sent out for County-wide Zoom budget
training.
Departmental budget workshops with the Board will begin in October.The first
workshop will be an overview of the entire budget.

Dear Grant Committee,
I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group
(HCSEG)and the Port of Allyn's Sweetwater Creek Water Wheel Park Project. This initiative
promises to bring lasting value to the communities of Belfair and Mason County through the
development of a new park,trail system,and restored stream habitat.
Projects like this one are essential for enhancing quality of life,promoting healthy lifestyles, and
expanding recreational opportunities in Allyn and Belfair. We are confident that the strong and
collaborative partnership between HCSEG and the Port of Allyn will ensure the successful
delivery of this project for the benefit of our entire community.
The proposed park will feature improved trails and bridges,as well as the restoration of the
historic waterwheel,opening a currently underutilized space for public enjoyment. Its proximity
to local transit options and nearby recreational destinations—such as the Mary E.Theler
Wetlands and Union River Estuary trails—makes it an ideal addition to our growing network of
accessible outdoor spaces.
In addition to environmental restoration,this project will offer valuable educational
opportunities,ADA-accessible fishing and recreation areas,and a beautiful,inclusive space for
the community to gather, learn,and connect.
Thank you for considering support for this impactful project.
Sincerely, Si
