The actual cost to purchase grinder pumps exceeds the amount currently charged to customers. Public Works is requesting to update the grinder pump fee from the current fixed amount to "Actual Cost" on the Belfair and North Bay/Case Inlet 2026 and 2027 Fee Schedules. This change will ensure the customer is responsible for the full cost of the grinder pump purchase and will eliminate the utility funds absorbing the difference between the fee collected and the actual cost incurred. Budget Impact: Updating the grinder pump fee to "Actual Cost" will allow the utility funds to recover the full cost of grinder pump purchases and prevent the utility from subsidizing a customer-specific expense. Public Outreach: Affected customers will receive formal notification of the adopted rate changes in advance of implementation. Requested Action: Request that the Board amend Resolution No. 2025-064 to change the grinder pump fee on the Belfair and North Bay/Case Inlet 2026 and 2027 Fee Schedules from a fixed fee to "Actual Cost."

Additionally, staff have observed that the current health condition of one park host appears to be affecting the individual's ability to consistently perform the physical duties associated with the position. This has raised operational concerns regarding maintenance standards, service levels, and the long-term sustainability of the current arrangement. At this time, staff are seeking guidance from the Board of County Commissioners regarding these matters. Specifically, staff request the Board's recommendations on potential approaches for addressing concerns related to park host site appearance, establishing expectations for the maintenance of host living areas, and determining appropriate next steps when a park host's health or physical limitations may impact their ability to fulfill the essential functions of the position. Budget Impact:None Requested Action: Provide guidance to staff on addressing park host site appearance and operational concerns.

O Be polite and friendly, with a desire to be helpful. O Be positive about the park, staff, and rules. O Be a good neighbor. Set a good example by obeying the park rules yourself. O Be familiar with park rules and regulations so you can explain them when asked or when you see a violation. Hand out an appropriate rules and regulations if available. If the violation continues, report it to County Park staff. O Give out accurate information. If you can't answer a question, check with park staff. O Refer park visitors with complaints to County Park staff if you cannot address the complaint yourself. O Wave as you walk by and SMILE! DON'T • Don't argue, scold or"chew out" the visitor. • Don't be harsh, sharp, abrupt, hurried, or impatient. • Don't act like a know-it-all or be self-righteous. • Don't be a busybody. Respect park visitors privacy and their right to "get away" from it all. Providing Information The more you know, the more confident you will feel as you perform your host duties and the more helpful you can be to park visitors. Please don't think we expect you to know the answer to every question you will be asked. (Even the Parks staff gets asked questions they can't answer!) Never be embarrassed to admit to a visitor that you don't know the answer to a question. Tell them you will try to find the answer and get back to them. If the answer is not in your host packet, check with the County Parks staff. If visitors would like additional information beyond what you can provide, you may refer them to the Mason County Parks Office (360) 427-9670, ext. 535 or to the County's website—www.masoncountywa.gov. Parks staff can provide current information about picnic shelter availability, special permits, and other related information. C:\Users\blr\Downloads\Park Host Policy final 2022 (2).docx Page 4 Tips for Hosts Read the Mason County Personnel Policies and Procedures — available on the Human Resources website - https://masoncountywa.gov/human-resources/policy.php If possible, arrive a day before the previous hosts leave so you have an opportunity to ask them questions and discuss any special considerations. During the orientation session with park staff, don't hesitate to ask questions, clarify responsibilities, or bring up concerns. Remember: safety first, always. Know your physical limitations and discuss any specific medical problems —allergies, surgeries, diabetes, etc. —with County Park's staff. It is beneficial if you have a current First Aid and CPR certification. Ask for feedback on your performance. You are entitled to receive an evaluation of your host experience by County Park's staff and in turn, you will be given the opportunity to give your feedback. If you get asked a question by a member of the public and you don't know the answer, tell them you'll find the answer and get back to them. What You Get In Return With a one-month commitment of a minimum 15 hours service per week or more, you will receive: • Free RV site and hookups • A "Host" sign for your site • Water, septic, and power • Space size is large enough for a RV up to 50' Insurance Coverage Liability & Medical: Registered volunteers doing work that is approved by the Mason County Parks Department Head or other designee are considered part of the Mason County's self-insured liability program. All volunteer hours for registered activities must be reported to the Parks Department. The Parks Department will report volunteer hours to the Department of Labor and Industry whereby if an injury occurs while performing registered volunteer work, the volunteer may have medical only coverage. A volunteer is NOT covered for loss of employment time due to injury or illness, nor for a lasting disability or death. If you suffer an injury while performing registered volunteer activities the Department Head or other designee will help you to obtain and complete the proper forms to submit for processing. As a volunteer host, you are acting as an agent of Mason County Parks and Trails. Therefore, when you are acting within the accepted limits and scope of your assigned job responsibilities, Mason County may assume responsibility for any liability claims that may be filed. Any claim resulting from criminal activity on a volunteer's part will not be covered by Mason County. Personal Property: Mason County is not responsible for a volunteer's personal belongings/property. It is recommended that all volunteers carry insurance to cover damage to person belongings or property. Personal tools and equipment should not be used to perform volunteer duties. The use of the Park's power tools is strictly prohibited. In addition, Park's tools are not intended for personal use. C:\Users\blr\Downloads\Park Host Policy final 2022 (2).docx Page 5 Vehicle Insurance: You will be asked to show proof of vehicle insurance if you use your own vehicle on the job. If special equipment or tools are required to perform your volunteer duties, you will be issued what you need and trained in their use. County equipment is not to be used for personal use. It is not recommended that you use your personal equipment to perform your volunteer duties. If you do, the County is not responsible for damage, replacement or repair to such equipment. For your protection, you should not offer park visitors a ride in your personal vehicle. Taxi service is not one of your volunteer job duties.
