Re: Implementation of Sewage Spill Webpage per 2025 Revision to Chapter 90.48 Revised Code of
Washington
Dear Comissioner Trask:
In 2025,the Washington State legislature passed Substitute Senate Bill 1670, which added new sections to
chapter 90.48 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) that will change how the public can access
information about sewage spills that you report to the Department of Ecology(Ecology) under your domestic
wastewater permit.This new law(RCW 98.48.632 and 636) requires Ecology to develop a public-facing website
by July 1, 2026,that identifies the location and other specified details about sewage spills reported under
certain individual water quality permits.
We are sending you this letter to make you aware of this new law, how information reported by you under
your permit will be used, and to provide you with guidance for relevant reporting.
To satisfy the requirements of this new law, reports of sewage spills from all domestic wastewater facilities
that are conditionally authorized by an Ecology permit to discharge to waters of the State will be posted to a
new webpage within days of Ecology receiving the report. It is important to note that the new law did not limit
the webpage reports to those incidents that correspond to permit violations nor to public health threats.
As defined by RCW 90.48.632—Sewage Spills Definitions, a "Sewage Spill means the intentional or accidental
discharge of untreated or undertreated wastewater that does not meet the permit requirements, from any
portion of a sewage treatment plant or collection system, including a combined sewer, in this state."This
includes, but is not limited to, any events that are immediately reportable under the terms of your permit.
Typically, these events are listed in permit Special Condition S3.F.2 (please note, some permits may list this
condition with a different number). Relevant reportable incidents include:
• Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs)
o Leaks
o Line breaks
o Pump or lift station failures or backups
o Line blockages
• Loss of disinfection
• Wastewater treatment plant overflows
• Wastewater treatment plant bypass
• Secondary treatment bypass
Commissioner Sharon Trask
June 23, 2026
Page 2
• Any other event that could or would cause any portion of the treatment process to be skipped,
bypassed, or otherwise not treat the wastewater.
RCW 90.48.636 requires the webpage to include specific information that may not be available at the time of
the initial report to Ecology or may not be specifically required to be reported by your permit. When
information necessary for the Sewage Spill Webpage is not provided to Ecology,we will use our best
professional judgement to fill in the blanks if feasible or otherwise will note the information as "unknown" or
"not reported." You can help ensure that the information we post on the webpage is accurate by including
specific details in your incident report and 5-day follow-up report, as described below.
1. Location where sewage spill occurred; location of the discharge
2. The estimated volume of the spill or rate of discharge (gallons or gallons per minute)
3. The level of treatment of the spilled wastewater.The webpage will use the following categories as
applicable:
o None (raw sewage)
o Partial Treatment—Secondary Bypass
o Partial Treatment—Disinfection Failure
o Other
o Not Reported
4. Date and time the incident initiated (best estimate or actual)
5. Date and time the discharge ceased (best estimate or actual)
6. Geographic area potentially impacted by the discharge.The webpage will use the following categories
as applicable:
o Not reported
o Waterbody name
o Did not reach a waterbody
7. Steps taken to contain the spill or discharge
8. Duration of the spill (best estimate or actual)
In addition, Ecology is required to update the incident information with the following details:
9. Once known,the final (total known or estimated)volume discharged (gallons)
10. Date and time the discharge ceased (actual)
11. Duration of the spill (actual)
12. Waters (potentially) impacted by the spill.The webpage will use the following categories:
o Not reported
o None
o Surface water body(name if known)
o Stormwater infrastructure
o Groundwater
The webpage will also identify the permitted facility name associated with the sewage spill report and the
county where the spill occurred to help the public identify the area(s)they are interested in. It is possible that
your facility will receive questions from the public about information on the webpage. We encourage you to
use such inquiries as opportunities to help the public understand the practical realities of operating a
wastewater collection and/or treatment system,your service goals and,where applicable, information about
sewer utility rates.

Dear Ms.Trask,
The Timberland Regional Library(TRL) Board of Trustees includes representatives from Grays
Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston Counties. Mason County's seat has been vacant for 18
months despite submitted applications.The Board of County Commissioners'failure to appoint a
qualified representative has denied Mason County residents a voice in decisions affecting our
regional library system.
This absence is especially unacceptable as TRL faces a major financial crisis, including layoffs,
leadership turnover,and reduced branch hours. During this critical time, Mason County has had no
representative advocating for our libraries, staff, or patrons.
We represent the Friends of the Library, community volunteers from the Shelton, North Mason, and
HoodsportTRL libraries who support programs, events, and public advocacy.We are asking you to
restore Mason County's voice to the TRL Board immediately.Whatever barriers have prevented you
from filling this position we urge you to find a solution.
Please respond to this letter and act without further delay. Every TRL Board of Trustees meeting that
passes without Mason County representation is detrimental to our community.
Sincerely,

Dear County Official:
It is my honor to notify you that on June 23, 2026,the Department of the Interior(Department)
issued payments under the Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT)program. The PILT program
compensates eligible local jurisdictions for Federal lands administered by agencies within the
Department and on behalf of the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Utah
Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission. Local governments may use the PILT
payments for any governmental purpose, including emergency response,public schools and roads.
Since local governments cannot tax Federal lands, annual PILT payments help to defray the costs
associated with maintaining important community services.
The PILT Act, 31 U.S.C. 6901-6907, as amended,authorized the program. The PILT Act
prescribes the formula used to compute the annual payments based on annually adjusted per-acre
and population variables. Prior-year Federal payments under certain revenue-sharing programs,
as reported annually by States, are deducted in formulating the payment amounts. A provision in
the PILT Act provides temporary compensation for recent additions to the National Park System
and National Forest Wilderness Areas.
The President signed the Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and
Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026 (Public Law 119-74)on January 23, 2026,
providing full funding for the 2026 PILT program. More than 1,900 local jurisdictions received a
total of$733 million in PILT payments this year.
For 2026,your county is receiving a PILT payment of$535,046. If you provided current bank
routing and account numbers to our Interior Business Center or to the System of Awards
Management(SAM), an electronic funds transfer was posted to your account on or about
June 23,2026. If you did not receive a payment or require further information,please refer to
www.doi.gov/pilt. The website includes information on how to register in SAM to expedite
receipt of future PILT payments. If you have any questions,please contact the PILT Program
Manager,Ms. Dionna Kiernan, at DOI PILT@ios.doi.gov or(202) 513-7783.

The Franchisee hereby provides notice about a transaction that will result in a pro forma change of the

Please see above options to provide public testimony. These options are available only while COVID-19 OPMA
meeting restrictions are in place.
10.1 Public Hearing to consider the Ordinance amending Mason County Code Chapter 6.64 Group
B Water System Regulations. Staff: Ian Tracy
Ian Tracy provided an overview of the proposed changes to Mason County Code 6.64-Group B
Water System Regulations. The changes address out-of-date code references, clarify
confusing or conflicting language, and restore consistency with state regulations. Two notable
changes are to require water quality monitoring for water systems with three to nine
connections,and the removal of the Water System Designer Certification program.
Public Comment:
Robert Pastore expressed concerns about the proposed water system ordinance revisions,
particularly the removal of Class B and purveyor definitions.He discussed the Eagles Nest
Class B water system on Stretch Island,questioned oversight of short-term rentals using
private water systems,requested inclusion of the Washington Administrative Code(WAC)in
the ordinance,and recommended moving the ordinance applicability section to the beginning
for clarity. Mr.Pastore also requested that the Mason County Clean Water District Advisory
Committee be expanded into the Mason County Citizens Environmental Health Advisory
Committee to address land,water,and air issues affecting Mason County.
The Commissioners discussed placing the state definition of Class B Water Systems into the
draft Ordinance.
Cmmr.Neatherlin/Tarzwell moved and seconded to approve the Ordinance amending
Mason County Code 6.64 Group B Water System Regulation with the addition of Class B
and Purveyor definitions.Motion carried unanimously.Neatherlin-aye; Tarzwell-aye;

Cmmr.Neatherlin/Tarzwell moved and seconded to approve the Ordinance Amending
Chapter 9.48 of the Mason County Code,Outdoor Burning Program.Motion carried
unanimously.Neatherlin-aye; Tarzwell-aye; Trask-absent.
10.3 Public Hearing to consider an Ordinance on wake-enhanced motorboat operations on lakes
within Mason County. Staff:Travis Adams
Travis Adams presented a tentative ordinance that would restrict the use of wake-enhancement
features on boats unless operators maintain a minimum distance of 250 feet from shore and
operate in water that is at least 20 feet deep. The proposed ordinance was created in response
to complaints from waterfront property owners regarding shoreline and property damage
attributed to wakeboats. This public hearing is intended to gather public feedback and provide
the opportunity for the Board to consider whether to adopt,modify or reject the proposed
ordinance.
Public comment:
Debra Akins,Island Lake,expressed concern about protecting property owners'rights,
acknowledged that the wakeboat activity has been a concern,and the creation of rules and laws
that would be very difficult to enforce.
Kathy Fox,Phillips Lake,owns recreational property in which is a major investment,has
witnessed the changes in the health of the shoreline and expressed concern about the safety for
children with the wakeboat activity occurring.
John Rich,Mason Lake,expressed concern that property owners on Mason Lake and Lake
Cushman would bear the burden of increased boating activity if this ordinance is adopted. He
noted that he has experienced waves large enough to prevent safe use of non-motorized
watercraft such as kayaks. He also noted that Mason County does not collect boat launch fees
and if this is approved he would like signage to be installed to inform boaters of any adopted
regulations.
Michael Kadahl,Chair,Mason Lake Management District No. 2,expressed concern that the
proposed ordinance would increase boat traffic on Mason Lake,increase invasive species risks
and shoreline erosion,and will impact water quality and habitat. Mr. Kadahl requested that the
May 26,2026 I Page 3 of 7
County complete and Environmental Impact Study(EIS)to evaluate potential environmental
impacts and mitigation measures.
Michael Park,lake and boat owner,requested that this ordinance not be approved. He
purchased lakefront property to be able to enjoy boating on the lake and believes that the ban
of wakeboats will be the first step in additional future impacts to property values and Mason
County.
David Meinert,Lost Lake,fully supports the ordinance and believes it should be even more
restrictive due to the damage the wakeboats are causing. He argued that this is not normal
boating activity and that studies suggest these boats should be farther from the shore than this
ordinance suggests. He expressed concern regarding the impact to fish spawning, ecosystems,
erosion,property damage,and could increase the risk of invasive plants.
Mary Sue Steinman,Mason Lake,has witnessed shoreline erosion firsthand and wakeboats are
not the only cause of shoreline damage. Other factors such as water depth,boat speeds,how
close boats operate near the shore also contribute. She believes this is a flawed law and
believes that identifying one boat is not solving the problem.
Todd Meyer,Mason Lake,has witnessed an increase in wake-enhanced boats that are
negatively impacting shoreline properties. These large wakes can damage docks and make it
unsafe to moor boats along side them. While he does support recreational boating,it should
not come at the expense of others safety and property, and he respectfully request that wake-
enhanced boats be required to operate at least 500 feet from docks and shorelines in the lakes.
Kale Burbidge,Lost Lake,opposes the ordinance and supports responsible boat operation. He
believes the real problem is irresponsible behavior and unregulated boat launches,not property
owners and families who follow the rules. He favors increased enforcement at boat launches
rather than a ban that would penalize responsible lake users.
Luke Aikins opposes the ordinance and urges the commission to reconsider the proposal given
the significant public opposition.He expressed concerns about how the ordinance would be
enforced,questioning how terms such as "wake trim," "wake-enhancing devices," and"ballast"
would be clearly defined and consistently applied.
Victoria Byington,Lake Nahwatzel,supports the ordinance and having grown up on the lake
she has witnessed how wakeboats have significantly changed the use of the lake by creating
larger waves which disturb the water and the shoreline. She does not believe that jet skis or
traditional ski boats cause comparable impacts and view wakeboats as the primary problem.
Jessy Farrington,Island Lake,opposes the ordinance, arguing that wake boat use is limited due
to the short boating season,provides recreational enjoyment, and does not present significant
safety concerns because of how slow they operate. He expressed concerns about the impact to
property values,enforcement costs,and local tax revenue,and believes efforts should focus on
regulating boat launches and addressing other lake-management issues rather than banning
wake boats.
Mike Jones,Island Lake,a biologist and educator,presented research showing that wake boats
can disturb lake-bottom sediments,releasing nutrients that may contribute to algal blooms and
water-quality degradation.He urged decisions based on scientific evidence,noting that
delaying action could allow further damage to the lake
May 26,2026 I Page 4 of 7
Jim Manley,Phillips Lake,described how a large wake threw his grandchildren onto a
concrete bulkhead,leaving them frightened,and said his boat and dock were also damaged.He
emphasized that wake-enhancement activities,rather than ordinary boating,are causing these
impacts.While everyone should be able to enjoy the lake,he argued that it becomes a problem
when one person's recreation causes harm, safety risks,or property damage to others.
Beau Brown,Phillips Lake,opposes the proposal as government overreach,arguing it would
limit his personal freedoms and negatively affect property owners who have invested heavily
in boating and waterfront property. He expressed concerns about impacts on property values
and the local tax base and asked the County to reduce permitting obstacles rather than impose
additional boating restrictions.
Malcolm Dick,Jr.,Lake Nahwatzel,has lived on the lake for more than 80 years,supported
the ban on wake-enhancing activities on smaller Mason County lakes.He said the wakes are
damaging shorelines,docks,and floats,and argued that operators should at least be held
accountable for the impacts they cause.He urged the county to enact the ban to help protect
the lake and surrounding properties.
Scott Olson,Lost Lake,who enjoys kayaking,paddleboarding, swimming and boating,but
with the increased activity from the YMCA camp,it becomes impossible to safely swim in the
lake when the wakeboard boats are out there. The lake should be managed so that all
recreational activities can safely coexist rather than allowing one type of use that limits others.
Jim East,Phillips Lake,believes that waterfront property values will continue to rise if the lake
remains safe and accessible.He enjoys kayaking,paddleboarding,and boating,but increased
lake activity and large wakes from wakeboard boats have made swimming and other
recreational uses difficult and unsafe.His boat even sank due to heavy wakes.The lake should
be managed so that multiple recreational activities can safely coexist,and everyone can enjoy
the water.
Gerard Shaefer,Phillips Lake,expressed his concern the ordinance is too narrowly focused on
reducing the impacts of one activity rather than finding the best overall outcome for Mason
County's lakes. Lakes are public resources shared by everyone and that broader issues such as
nutrient pollution,septic systems, and shoreline management should be considered alongside
any discussion of wake-enhancing boating.
Art Whitson,Mason Lake,a recreational boater and urged the County to look at all boating
activities and the overall lake ecosystem,not just wake boats. He noted that recent boating
activity sent waves over his dock, swamping his dinghy,and prevented his grandchildren from
safely playing in the water. He supports enforceable boating rules,the use of drones for
monitoring,and forming a short-term advisory committee to further study lake impacts and to
develop balanced solutions.
Bill Crabtree,Island Lake, supports responsible recreation but believes wake-enhanced
activities are not appropriate for small, shallow Island Lake.He said large wakes create unsafe
conditions, swamp small watercraft,and discourage his grandchildren from using the lake.He
urged stronger enforcement of boating rules and noted that substantial research is available on
wake boat impacts.
Jan Bohrnsen,Mason Lake,a longtime resident and recreational boater, said today's wake
boats are far different from the boats that existed when they purchased their property.While
she supports boating,skiing,and wakeboarding,she described increasing safety concerns from
large wakes that prevent grandchildren from safely playing near shore,contribute to shoreline
May 26,2026 I Page 5 of 7
erosion,and have damaged waterfront infrastructure,including requiring relocation of a boat
lift. She said conditions on parts of the lake that were once calm are now difficult to enjoy and
urged action to preserve the lake for future generations while balancing recreation and
shoreline protection.
Gregory Gruber, Spencer Lake,opposed the proposed ordinance as unnecessary government
overreach,arguing that existing state and county boating laws already address unsafe operation
but are not adequately enforced. He contended that responsible boating and enforcement of
current rules would address many concerns,while the proposed restrictions would be difficult
to enforce, shift wake boat traffic to other lakes,create congestion at launches, and divert law
enforcement resources from higher-priority public safety needs. If the County chooses to act,
he recommended a more limited,incremental approach focused on smaller lakes and
reasonable depth requirements rather than broad countywide restrictions.
Kari Olsen,Lost Lake,described increasing impacts from wake-enhanced boating that she
believes have made parts of the lake unsafe and difficult to enjoy. She said she and others have
been swamped while floating near shore and that waterfront property owners are increasingly
unable to use their docks and shoreline areas as intended. She expressed concern that the lake
is deteriorating and submitted video evidence showing a wake boat operating offshore still
generating significant wave action that churned up water and created hazardous conditions.
She urged the County to prioritize safety and protect the rights of residents to safely use and
enjoy their waterfront property.
Jeff Farrington,Island Lake,opposes the ordinance and sees this as the start of having "no
fun"regulations.
Janet Harmon,Lost Lake,opposed the proposed ordinance, arguing that her family chose the
lake because it supports water sports and that wake surfing is an important part of their
lifestyle. She said responsible boating,operator education,and reasonable setbacks from shore
are better solutions than banning activities,and urged the County to seek a compromise that
allows all users to enjoy the lake safely.
Stephanie Brooks, Spencer Lake,argued that erosion,water quality,and sediment issues are
caused by multiple factors-not just wake boats-including storms,lake conditions, septic
systems, and invasive species. She urged the County to take a broader, science-based approach
and warned that concentrating wake boats on a few lakes could increase the spread of Eurasian
milfoil to other Mason County lakes.
Trista East,Phillips Lake,stated that the proposed ordinance appears unfairly targeted at wake
surfers and expressed concern that wake boat users are being singled out and harassed.While
supporting additional research into environmental impacts and lake health, she urged the
County to avoid restricting activities simply because some residents dislike them and
emphasized that responsible behavior is needed from all lake users.
Curt Harmon,Lost Lake,questioned claims that wake boats are the primary cause of shoreline
erosion,noting that natural erosion has occurred for decades and pointing to numerous trees
that have fallen into the lake over time. He also disputed concerns about declining water
quality,citing healthy fish populations and wildlife observations.He encouraged the County to
seek balanced solutions that work for all lake users rather than attributing lake issues solely to
wake-enhanced boating.
Warren Zidelock,Mason Lake,a resident on this lake for more than 18 years, stated that newer
wake-enhanced boats and their increasing numbers appear to be causing greater impacts to the
May 26,2026 I Page 6 of 7
lake. However,he opposes banning wake boats,arguing that concentrating those vessels on
Mason and Cushman Lakes would overload those lakes with additional activity and create new
problems. He encouraged the County to seek solutions other than a ban.
Griffin Meyers,Phillips Lake,opposed the proposed ordinance, stating that his family
purchased their property because the lake supports a full range of recreational activities,
including wake surfing.He expressed concern that the restrictions would limit property use,
negatively affect families who recreate on the lake, and be difficult to enforce.He also warned
that the ordinance could create unnecessary conflict among neighbors and urged the County to
preserve both recreation opportunities and the strong lake community.
Discussion:
Cmmr. Tarzwell acknowledged being conflicted about the proposed ordinance, stating that he
is generally reluctant to create new regulations but felt obligated to respond to residents'
concerns about property damage.He described the issue as a difficult balance between
protecting private property and preserving recreational opportunities,while also expressing
concern about whether any new restrictions could be effectively enforced.
Cmmr.Neatherlin said the issue requires balancing the rights of lake users with the protection
of shoreline property and acknowledged that wake-enhanced boating can contribute to erosion
and safety concerns.While opposing a complete ban,he supported exploring mitigation
measures such as directing activity toward the center of lakes,considering lake-specific
characteristics,and forming a citizen advisory committee to develop practical solutions.He
emphasized that regulations should protect both majority and minority interests while
remaining realistic and enforceable.
Cmmr.Neatherlin/Tarzwell moved and seconded to continue the public hearing to July
21,2026 at 9:15 a.m.to take further public testimony. Motion carried unanimously.

Item 8.3
Melissa Casey requested to terminate the Consolidated Homeless Grant(CHG)contract with The
Youth Connection for fiscal year 2027 due to concerns around being unable to verify that the funds
are being spent according to the intent of the contract.
Susan Kirchoff,Executive Director of The Youth Connection(TYC), asked the Commissioners to
fully review the circumstances surrounding the recommendation to cancel its contract and stated that
June 9,2026 I Page 2 of 6
clear explanation of the specific reasons for termination have not been received. TYC maintains that
the issues involve disagreements regarding contract interpretation,documentation requirements,cost
allocation methodology,and reimbursement eligibility—not fraud,misuse of funds,personal gain,or
intentional misconduct. Susan noted that TYC has partnered with the County since 2019 and has never
previously received a formal corrective action plan,contract default notice,or adverse audit findings.
Throughout the current contract period TYC worked to address County concerns by revising budgets,
invoices,policies,and procedures,participating in meetings,responding to monitoring reviews,and
requesting technical assistance. Susan emphasized that TYC continued serving clients using its own
operating funds while reimbursement issues remained unresolved and reports exceeding performance
goals in its housing and homelessness programs. Susan requested assistance in resolving outstanding
invoices and asked for consideration of a mutually agreed separation that would not negatively impact
its ability to continue serving youth and families in Mason County.
Mary Robillard,Board of Directors Chair for TYC, shared it is the Board's responsibility to govern
oversight,accountability,and ensure TYC fulfills its mission while responsibly managing resources.
Mary asked,on behalf of the Board,how TYC went from years of successful service delivery and
positive housing outcomes with no formal written corrective action plan to recommendation for
cancellation. The Board acknowledges the concerns identified through monitoring.TYC accepted the
findings,implemented corrective actions,revised policies and procedures,provided the requested
documentation,and repeatedly sought assistance to ensure compliance.TYC also requested assistance
from the Dept. of Commerce to resolve ongoing disputes regarding billing,reimbursement eligibility,
and cost allocation.Mary also asked for fairness,consistency,transparency, and a complete review of
the process before a decision is made.
Cmmr.Neatherlin asked if there was formal notification that the contract was being canceled and if
there are any concerns regarding timelines. Melissa answered they wanted Commissioner permission
and contract termination would need to be finalized before the end of the state fiscal year.
Cmmr. Tarzwell added that there have been ongoing issues with getting proper documentation on
expenses and the response was that it was not going to happen.
Cmmr.Neatherlin/Tarzwell moved and seconded to table the termination of the Consolidated
Homeless Grant(CHG)contract with The Youth Connection until Tuesday,June 23,2026.
Motion carried.Neatherlin-aye; Tarzwell-aye; Trask-absent.

Cmmr.Neatherlin reiterated the cost of$3,624.72 if paid in full within the 30-day grace period

having a County-maintained road.

Flood Risk Zone—Floodplain of the Skokomish River. Staff:Kell Rowen(Resolution No.
June 9,2026 I Page 4 of 6
2026-026)
Kell shared this is for the removal of County-imposed floodway for the Skokomish River,
Vance Creek,and tributaries. In 2019 County adopted new floodway maps as amended by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA).At that time,it was considered to remove
the County-imposed floodway,but due to strict timelines to adopt new floodplain Ordinance
and maps there was not enough time to consider the impact.
Dave Craig shared the difficulties developing in this area and appreciated the amendments.
Tana Morehead,Public Affairs Specialist with the United States Small Business
Administration(SBA), shared that SBA works with FEMA on natural disasters and provided
information on disaster loans.
Cmmr.Neatherlin/Tarzwell moved and seconded to adopt the Ordinance amending

the Allyn and Belfair Urban Growth Areas(UGAs). Staff: Kell Rowen(Resolution No.2026-
027)
Kell shared each zoning district currently requires a minimum density of 10 dwelling units per
acre,while also allowing detached residential development.Landowners in both UGAs have
expressed difficulty in reaching a 10 unit per acre minimum for detached units,and difficulty
for multi-family units due to the lack of market demand. Staff proposes reducing the minimum
density requirement to five(5)dwelling units to establish a more achievable baseline density
while still supporting a range of housing types responsive to market demand.PAC and staff
recommend approval.
QUESTION
Ken VanBuskirk asked if any written comments were received from landowners.Kell
answered no.
TESTIMONY
Jeff Carey,Planning Advisory Commission(PAC)Chair,shared the 10-foot setback was
originally created due to the potential of apartments being developed. If apartments are built,
the 10' setback should be allowed. In Allyn,individuals tend to use their driveway for parking.
This should be considered for Belfair as well.
Ken VanBuskirk supports the reduction in zoning intensity and shared a brief history.Ken
suggested the purpose statement for the Belfair UGA be written since the nodes no longer
apply.
Cmmr.Neatherlin asked how the County would go back to the 10-unit density.Kell answered
that Marissa Watson is working on the Resource Ordinance and Development Regulations
updates and will be addressing those issues.

Item: Amendment to On-Call Engineering Services Agreement—Increase Maximum
Annual Pay-Out for 2026-2027
Background/Executive Summary:
On September 24, 2024, the Board authorized Public Works to procure on-call engineering services for
Utility&Wastewater Management and other Public Works activities. Following the County's
procurement process, Public Works selected Parametrix and entered into a two-year on-call engineering
services agreement for 2025-2026 with an annual maximum pay-out of$200,000. The Board also
approved a one-year extension through December 31, 2027, which Public Works plans to utilize.
Parametrix has begun work on the Solid Waste Plan update, in addition to providing support on other
Public Works projects this year. Due to current task assignments and anticipated services through the
remainder of the agreement term, Public Works expects to exceed the current annual maximum and is
requesting Board authorization to increase the annual maximum pay-out from$200,000 to $500,000.
Budget Impact:
Funding for these services is included within the Public Works and Utility&Wastewater budgets. The
annual maximum pay-out would increase from $200,000 to $500,000 through December 31, 2027.
Public Outreach:
No public outreach is required. Parametrix was selected through the County's competitive procurement
process and is currently under contract with Mason County.
Requested Action:
Request the Board authorize the Public Works Director to amend the existing on-call engineering
services agreement with Parametrix to increase the annual maximum pay-out from $200,000 to
$500,000 through December 31, 2027.

�
Development Grant
To Whom It May Concern,
7854 I am pleased to provide this letter of support for the proposed Mason County Recreation Event
Center and the application for a USDA Rural Business Development Grant to fund a feasibility study
for this important community project.
MASON COUNTY
BOARD This grant represents a valuable opportunity to explore the development of a much-needed
community amenity that could serve as a catalyst for economic growth, tourism, and business
OF development throughout Mason County. As one of the most rural counties in Washington State,
COMMISSIONERS Mason County continually seeks innovative ways to support local businesses,strengthen community
connections,and create opportunities for sustainable economic development.
Currently, many event, conference, and gathering facilities of this scale are located outside our
1sT District region,requiring local businesses,nonprofit organizations,educational institutions,and community
RANDY NEATHERLIN groups to travel elsewhere to host events and activities. The proposed Recreation Event Center
would help fill this gap by providing a dedicated venue that serves local needs while attracting
2nd District visitors from surrounding communities.We believe this facility would become a unique destination
PAT TARZWELL and valuable asset for Mason County.
3rd District Our organization views this project as an important opportunity to enhance both the economic
SHARON TRASK vitality and quality of life within our community. A community event center has the potential to
serve as a central gathering place for residents,businesses, nonprofits, schools, and visitors while
supporting broader economic development objectives.
The proposed feasibility study will provide critical information regarding market demand, site
Mason County Building 1 selection,operational models, financial sustainability, and overall community benefits. The results
of this study will equip local leaders and stakeholders with the information necessary to evaluate the
411 North Fifth Street project's viability and guide future planning efforts.
Shelton,WA 98584-3400 We believe a community event center could:
• Support local businesses by attracting visitors and increasing local spending.
(360)427-9670 ext.419 • Provide a venue for conferences,trade shows, educational programs, cultural events, and
community gatherings.
• Create opportunities for entrepreneurship, workforce development, tourism, and regional
Fax(360)427-8437 partnerships.
• Strengthen community engagement and enhance Mason County's economic
competitiveness.
• Serve as a flexible,multi-purpose facility that addresses both current and future community
needs.
For these reasons,we strongly support the Mason County Recreation Event Center feasibility study
and encourage favorable consideration of this grant application. We appreciate USDA Rural
Development's commitment to strengthening rural communities and creating opportunities for long-
term economic prosperity

MASON COUNTY
BOARD The Theler Wetlands are a cornerstone of Mason County's natural landscape and an invaluable
OF resource for our residents and visitors alike.This unique ecosystem provides important opportunities
for environmental education,wildlife observation,and outdoor recreation,all while contributing to
COMMISSIONERS the ecological health of the Hood Canal watershed.The site's trail system serves thousands of users

SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL & BACKGROUND
APPLICANT

The applicant submitted a complete rezone application to the Mason County Permit Assistance
Center on March 5, 2026. The proposal includes a portion of the parcel only.The owner of the parcel
is Rene Salazar and Williams Architecture is acting as representative.
PROPOSAL

The proposal is to rezone 2.26 acres of the 10.75 acre parcel from Mixed Use(MU)to General

ZONING INFORMATION
..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
PROPOSED ZONING DESIGNATION:
GENERAL COMMERCIAL (GC)
The intent of the General Commercial (GC) zone is to provide for those commercial uses and
activities which are dependent on convenient vehicular access and to provide development
standards which enhance pedestrian and transit access. The regulations are intended to
integrate new development with existing uses to achieve a better environment for users
arriving by car or by foot and to maintain or enhance the livability of adjacent residential
neighborhoods.
CURRENT ZONING DESIGNATION:
MIXED USE (MU)
The low-intensity mixed use (MU) designation is intended to provide for a mixture of
residential and commercial uses in close proximity to or integrated within the same structure
while maintaining a high degree of design standards. The designation is intended to maintain
the historic and small town character of existing neighborhoods and gateway while allowing
compatible commercial development to occur.
CURRENT SURROUNDING ZONING:
NORTH: City of Shelton
EAST: General Commercial (GC)
SOUTH: Rural Resident 5 (RR5)
WEST: Neighborhood Residential (NR)
ANALYSIS
Mason County Code Section 17.05.080(a) provides eight criteria for evaluating rezone requests. Each
is addressed below:
1. Development allowed by the proposed rezone designation shall not damage public
health, safety and welfare.
Staff finds this criterion is satisfied. The proposed rezone will not adversely affect public health,
safety, or welfare. The applicant previously proposed retail, warehouse, and housing combination,
this proposal continues the warehouse proposal but does not include retail store component
which will eliminate additional traffic. The proposed rezone would apply to less than half the
parcel while the rest of the parcel remains Mixed Use(MU). (Please see applicant response)

360.427.9670 ext. 352 I J masoncountywa.gov
MC Case:AFA2026-00002
2. The zone designation shall be consistent with the Mason County Comprehensive Plan,
Development Regulations, and other County ordinances, and with the Growth
Management Act; and that designation shall match the characteristics of the area to
be rezoned better than any other zone designation.
This criterion is met. The proposal aligns with the Mason County Comprehensive Plan and
Development Regulations which allow for a broad mix of uses within the UGAs. The Urban Growth
Areas are the most appropriate areas for retail, commercial, industrial, and high intensity
residential uses. The area of the proposal has a mix of commercial uses as well as residential. The
proposal will be relatively separated from the road(Olympic Hwy S) due to topography and
screening to the north of the project would be required to buffer the residential uses. (Please see
applicant response)
3. No rezone shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or
development, whether actual or potential,the cumulative impacts of such zoning
would be to materially increase sprawling, low-density rural development, or to
significantly increase uses incompatible with resource-based uses in the vicinity.
Staff finds this criterion satisfied. The proposed use will not increase sprawling, will locate a
business in an appropriate area of the County, and will not conflict with any resource based uses
in the vicinity;in fact there are similar resource based uses not far from this parcel. (See applicant
responses)
4. No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together
with other rezoning and/or development,whether actual or potential, the cumulative
impacts of such zoning would be to materially increase demand for urban services in
rural areas, including but not limited to streets, parking, utilities, fire protection,
police, and schools.
Staff finds this criterion satisfied. This proposal is located within the Urban Growth Area and does
not expand the need for urban services in rural areas. The proposal is to rezone a portion of the
10.75 acres(2.26acres) and the remainder will stay Mixed Use which allows for a mix of
residential and retail uses.At this time, it is highly unlikely that a proposal for retail in this area
will be forthcoming due to access and location on a hill. (See applicant responses)
5. No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together
with other rezoning and/or development,whether actual or potential, the cumulative
impacts of such zoning would be to materially interfere with the Growth Management
Act goal to encourage development in urban areas where adequate public services
and facilities exist or can be provided in an efficient manner.
This criterion is met. The proposal is in the Urban Growth Area.

360.427.9670 ext. 352 I J masoncountywa.gov
MC Case:AFA2026-00002
6. No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together
with other rezoning and/or development,whether actual or potential, the cumulative
impacts of such zoning would be to materially interfere with the Growth Management
Act goal to encourage retention of open space,to conserve fish and wildlife habitat,
and generally to protect the environment, including air and water quality.
Staff finds this criterion is satisfied. Storm water requirements will be covered under the building
permit. Staff does not see additional impact to open space,fish and wildlife habitat or the
environment in general in comparison to the original proposal under the Mixed Use zoning.
7. No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together
with other rezoning and/or development,whether actual or potential, the cumulative
impacts of such zoning would be to create pressure to change land use designations of
other lands or to increase population growth in rural areas as projected in the Mason
County Comprehensive Plan.
This criterion is met. The proposal is consistent with the Growth Management Act and will not
increase the population growth in the rural areas.
8. These criteria shall not be construed to prevent corrective rezoning of land
necessitated by clerical error or similar error of typography or topography committed
in the original zoning of such land.
Not applicable. This request is not for correction of a mapping or clerical error.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
The General Commercial zoning allows for light manufacturing incidental to on premise retail.
Rezoning a portion of the lot rather than the entire lot maintains the ability to develop residential on
the remaining 8.49 acres at a density of between four and twelve units per acre. Rezoning to General
Commercial (GC) is in line with nearby lots zoned similarly; this zoning would be more favorable to
the City of Shelton who may not favor a more intense zoning such as Commercial Industrial (Cl) next
to a residential area to the north.
NOTIFICATION & COMMENT
STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT (SEPA)
A non-project SEPA checklist was previously prepared by the applicant for their 2021 rezone
submittal. Staff has attached an amendment to the original which continues a determination of non-
significance.

What kind of change in Comprehensive Plan Policy, Development Regulation,or Comprehensive Plan
Map(Future Land Use/Zoning)is requested?(Attach additional pages,if needed.)
Zoning Change from MU (Low-Intensity Mixed Use)to GC(General Commercial)
Rationale for the Request: (include information on the property features, land use, and maps that will
be used in considering your application) (see the attached information sheet)
The GC zone accommodates a wide variety of business uses, including retail, repair, and storage uses.Accessory
uses include light manufacturing incidental to on-premises retail.The proposed use,which includes storage and
sorting of natural brush materials, and potential retail sales of plant materials on-site, seems to fit well within the GC
zone. The surrounding existing businesses are varied, and the proposed use would have similar characteristics to
some of those businesses. The zone change would not create major changes to development of the neighborhood.
Signature and date
GENERAL INFORMATION
The application for Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment is used to request a change in the
zone designation of a parcel or group of parcels, such as from Rural Residential to Rural
Commercial, Rural Tourist, or Rural Industrial; or to request a change in a Resource Land
designation, such as from Rural Residential to Agricultural Resource Land. Applications
requesting the modification of outer boundaries of Urban Growth Areas, Rural Activity Centers,
and Hamlets require the additional application of the Comprehensive Plan Policy or
Development Regulation form and supplemental studies that augment the request. The
application must be accompanied by the information listed below and the applicable

Comprehensive Plan. The application should be accompanied by supplemental information to
present an issue or constraint and show that either type of change, if approved, would be
applied generally throughout the county. The Department of Community Development will
accept these requests in a docket file and examine the merit of the request for review by the
Planning Advisory Commission and Board of County Commissioners as part of the
comprehensive plan amendment process.

development regulations, and other county ordinances, and with the Growth Management Act;
and that designation shall match the characteristics of the area to be rezoned better than any
other zone designation;
(3) No rezone shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or
development, whether actual or potential, the cumulative impacts of such zoning would be to
materially increase sprawling, low-density rural development, or to significantly increase uses

(4) No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together
with other rezoning and/or development, whether actual or potential, the cumulative impacts of
such zoning would be to materially increase demand for urban services in rural areas, including,
but not limited to, streets, parking, utilities, fire protection, police and schools;
(5) No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together

Responses to 17.05.080 (a) Rezone Criteria
Application for Amendment to Zoning Map
Eastern portion of Parcel Number 32030-14-90030
Revised April 17, 2026
1) Development allowed by the proposed rezone designation shall not damage public health, safety,
and welfare;
The proposed project will not cause significant impacts on any public systems or safeguards that
provide for public health, safety, or welfare.
2) The zone designation shall be consistent with the Mason County comprehensive plan, development
regulations and other county ordinances, and with the Growth Management Act; and that
designation shall match the characteristics of the area to be rezoned better than any other zone
designation;
We believe the proposed rezone designation is consistent with the Mason County comprehensive
plan, development regulations and other county ordinances, and with the Growth Management
Act.As noted in the application rationale,the various uses already in the area create a fairly broad
mixture of neighboring building types and occupancies, including uses that have similar
characteristics and traffic use patterns.We believe that the GC zoning is consistent with the
existing development in the area, without significant differences in its effects on neighbors; and
further that the relative separation of this property from the road due to topography, along with
careful screening from the NR zoned areas to the north,will alleviate any potential concerns.
3) No rezone shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other rezoning and/or development,
whether actual or potential,the cumulative impacts of such zoning would be to materially increase
sprawling, low-intensity rural development, or to significantly increase uses incompatible with
resource-based uses in the vicinity;
This proposal limits the rezone area to the minimum area needed to support the desired use, and
to the area of the property closest to the main road and site access(SR3), and closest to its mixed-
use and retail neighbors.This will eliminate any potential cumulative impacts and deter any
increases to sprawl.The proposed use, sorting and storage of brush, is itself a resource-based use,
and for this reason the location is particularly suitable.
4) No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other
rezoning and/or development, whether actual or potential,the cumulative impacts of such zoning
would be to materially increase demand for urban services in rural areas, including, but not limited
to, streets, parking, utilities, fire protection, police, and schools;
This small rezone area,and the use it will support,will have negligible effect on demand for urban
services. Most utilities will be provided or managed on site, and impacts to traffic or requirements
for services will be similar to the current zoning.
5) No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other
rezoning and/or development, whether actual or potential,the cumulative impacts of such zoning
would be to materially interfere with the Growth Management Act goal to encourage development
in urban areas where adequate public services and facilities exist or can be provided in an efficient
manner;
This small rezone will have no material impact on this goal, especially since it is already zoned for
similar intensity of use (MU).
6) No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other
rezoning and/or development, whether actual or potential,the cumulative impacts of such zoning
would be to materially interfere with the Growth Management Act goal to encourage retention of
open space,to conserve fish and wildlife habitat, and generally to protect the environment,
including air and water quality;
The proposed GC rezone will make essentially no change to the environmental impacts to be
expected from the current MU zoning.
7) No rezone to more intensive land use shall be approved if, either by itself or together with other
rezoning and/or development, whether actual or potential,the cumulative impacts of such zoning
would be to create pressure to change land use designations of other lands or to increase population
growth in rural areas as projected in the Mason County comprehensive plan;
The proposed rezone from MU to GC for this small parcel will not impact population growth or
land use designations in the vicinity in any appreciable way.
8) These criteria shall not be construed to prevent corrective rezoning of land necessitated by clerical
error or similar error of typography or topography committed in the original zoning of such land.

SEPA ADDENDUM (SEP2021-00013)
ORIGINAL APPLICANT PROPOSAL - PROPOSED REZONE OF 10.75 ACRES FROM
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL (NR) TO MIXED USE (MU) IN THE SHELTON
UGA (APPROVED)
CURRENT APPLICANT PROPOSAL - REZONE 2.26 ACRES OF CURRENT 10.75
ACRES OF MIXED USE (MU) TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL (GC) IN THE SHELTON
UGA
APPLICANT PROPERTY OWNER

PO Box 102 PO Box 664
Shelton,Wa 98548 Shelton, WA 98548
ORIGINAL PROPOSAL IMPACT (IF ANY)
Rezone parcel 32030-14-90030 from Neighborhood Residential (NR)to Mixed Use(MU). This parcel
is in the Shelton Urban Growth Area(UGA).The request was for rezone of the entire 10.75 acres.The
original request was applied for with the intention to build a primary 2000sf greens processing
building, seasonal retail, proposed future SFR and potential additional processing buildings. Staff
determined on 3.18.21 that the proposal had no probable significant adverse impact on the
environment.Comments received on the proposal were from the Squaxin Island Tribe and concerned
the use of a well and stormwater requirements. Any buildings requiring water would be hooked up
to an existing water system (Discovery Homes #1) and stormwater requirements would not be
detailed until the applicant provided an actual proposal for the purposes of a building permit.These
two items did not affect the rezone proposal and were items that would be reviewed under a building
permit. The second concern was where the trucks would be accessing the site, City and neighbor
made these concerns known and applicant assured access would come off of E Delanty where it
intersected Olympic Hwy S and not the access to the north west which is a narrow residential access.
CURRENT PROPOSAL IMPACT (IF ANY)
The current proposal takes 2.26acres to the east of the current mixed use 10.75 acres and rezones to
General Commercial(GC).The proposal still includes a greens processing building but without a retail
aspect, no housing, and no additional buildings proposed at this time.The processing building will be
larger than the original request but most likely will not be any larger than the original planned
footprint since additional buildings, processing or SFR is not planned on this portion of the lot.As of
4.27.26 the County's Determination of Non-Significance still applies to this proposal as noted in this
addendum and no additional significant cumulative impact is found.

Purpose of checklist:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization
or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental
impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please
answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult
with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use "not applicable" or
"does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown.
You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate
answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-
making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
Instructions for Lead Agencies:
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to
evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse
impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to
make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is
responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:
For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable
parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please
completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or
site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead
agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B- Environmental Elements—that do not
contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Mason County Planning Advisory Commission
will hold a public hearing on Monday, May 18, 2026 at 6:00 p.m.
SAID HEARING will be to consider adopting the following Development Areas
amendment (REZONE):
• Rezone approximately 2.26 acres from Mixed Use (MU) to General
Commercial (GC). Parcel 32030-14-90030, Shelton Urban Growth Area.
Proposed use is sorting and storage of brush. Entire parcel (10.75 acres)
