Pending Audit Conclusion
Office of the Washington State Auditor
Pat McCarthy
August 19, 2026
Board of County Commissioners
Mason County
411 N. 5th St
Shelton, WA 98584
We are pleased to confirm the audits to be performed by the Office of the Washington State Auditor
(we,us,our),in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 43.09 RCW,for Mason County(you,your).
This letter confirms the nature and limitations of the audits, as well as responsibilities of the parties
and other engagement terms.
Office of the Washington State Auditor Responsibilities
Financial Statement Audit
We will perform an audit of the financial statements of Mason County as of and for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2025, prepared in accordance with the cash basis Budgeting, Accounting and
Reporting System Manual(BARS). The objective of our audit will be to express our opinion on these
financial statements.
We will perform our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement. Since we do not review every transaction,
our audit cannot be relied upon to identify every potential misstatement. Because of the inherent
limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of internal control, an unavoidable risk
exists that some material misstatements may not be detected,even though the audit is properly planned
and performed in accordance with the standards identified above.
A financial statement audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers relevant internal controls in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control. Accordingly, we will express no such
opinion.
Insurance Building,P.O.Box 40021 O Olympia,Washington 98504-0021 O(564)999-0950 O Pat.McCarthy@sao.wa.gov
Although our audit is not designed to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, we are required to report any identified significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses in controls. We are also required to report instances of fraud and noncompliance with
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements that could have a direct and material
effect on the accuracy of financial statements.
A financial statement audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management,as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements.
All misstatements identified by the audit will be discussed with management. Material misstatements
corrected by management and all uncorrected misstatements will be communicated at the exit
conference, as required by professional auditing standards.
Our responsibility is to issue a written report in which we express an opinion on the financial
statements based on the results of our audit. We cannot guarantee an unmodified opinion. We may
modify or disclaim an opinion on the financial statements if we are unable to complete the audit or
obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence supporting the financial statements. If our opinion is
other than unmodified, we will discuss the reason with you prior to issuing our report. Further, in
accordance with professional standards, we may add emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraphs
to our report to describe information that, in our judgment, is relevant to understanding the financial
statements or our audit.
We will also issue a written report (that does not include an opinion) on issues identified during the
audit related to internal control over financial reporting and on compliance with the provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect
on the financial statements as required by Government Auditing Standards.
The County prepares supplementary information that accompanies the financial statements, which is
required by the BARS Manual. We agree to perform auditing procedures on this information,with the
objective of expressing an opinion as to whether it is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Federal Single Audit
We will also perform a federal single audit on compliance with, and report on internal control over
compliance for, each major program for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The objective of
our audit will be to express our opinion on this compliance.
We will perform our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements
for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types
of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program
occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of internal
control, an unavoidable risk exists that some material noncompliance may not be detected, even
though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with these standards and the
Uniform Guidance.
In planning and performing the compliance audit, we will consider internal control over compliance
in order to determine the appropriate auditing procedures necessary for opining on compliance with
each major program, and for testing and reporting on internal control over compliance in accordance
with Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion. Although our audit
is not designed to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance,we are
required to report any identified significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in controls.
We will express an opinion as to whether the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2025.
Our responsibility is to issue a written report in which we express an opinion on compliance for each
major program based on the results of our audit.We cannot guarantee an unmodified opinion. We may
modify or disclaim an opinion on compliance if we are unable to complete the audit or obtain sufficient
and appropriate audit evidence supporting compliance. If our opinion is other than unmodified, we
will discuss the reason with you prior to issuing our report. Further, in accordance with professional
standards, we may add emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraphs to our report to describe
information that, in our judgment, is relevant to understanding our audit.
We estimate the federal single audit will cover one federal grant program, which will be identified at
the audit entrance conference. If additional grant programs are audited to satisfy the requirements of
the Uniform Guidance, the audit budget discussed below will increase by approximately $8,500 per
additional major program.
Accountability Audit
We will perform an accountability audit of compliance with applicable state laws, regulations, and
policies, and of controls over the safeguarding of public resources for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2025. The audit will be conducted in accordance with provisions of RCW 43.09.260 and the
Office's audit policies, which include policies specific to these types of audits and general audit
policies. Our general audit policies apply to all our engagements and incorporate the requirements of
Government Auditing Standards, as applicable, on topics such as communications with auditees,
independence, audit evidence and documentation, and reporting.
An accountability audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about compliance
and controls in areas selected for audit. In keeping with general auditing practices,we do not examine
every transaction, activity, policy, internal control, or area. The areas examined and procedures
selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of fraud, loss, abuse,
or noncompliance.
Our responsibility is to issue a written report describing the overall results and conclusions for the
areas we examined.
Data Security
Our Office is committed to appropriately safeguarding the information we obtain during the course
of the audit. We have entered into a data sharing agreement with the County to ensure compliance
with legal requirements and Executive Directives (Executive Order 16-01, RCW 42.56 and WaTech
policies and standards) in the handling of information considered confidential.
Reporting levels for audit issues
Issues identified through the auditing process will be communicated as follows. Failure to
appropriately address audit issues may result in escalated reporting levels.
• Findings formally address issues in an audit report. Findings report significant results of the
audit, such as significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal controls;
misappropriation; and material abuse or non-compliance with laws, regulations, contracts or
grant agreements. You will be given the opportunity to respond to a finding, and this response,
or a synopsis of it, will be published in the audit report. Professional auditing standards define
the issues we must report as findings with regard to non-compliance with a financial statement
effect and internal controls over financial reporting. The Uniform Guidance defines the issues
we must report as findings with regard to non-compliance and internal controls over
compliance with federal grants.
• Management letters communicate control deficiencies, non-compliance, misappropriation,
abuse, or errors with a less-than-material effect on audit objectives. Management letters are
referenced, but not included, in the audit report.
• Exit items address control deficiencies, non-compliance, abuse, or errors that have an
insignificant effect on audit objectives. These issues are informally communicated to
management and are not referenced in the audit report.
Client's Responsibilities
Management is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of information provided to the auditor
and will provide the Office of the Washington State Auditor with:
• Unrestricted access to people with whom the auditor wishes to speak.
• All information that is requested or relevant to auditor requests.
• Notification when any documents,records, files,or data contain information that is covered by
confidentiality or privacy laws.
• Adequate workspace and conditions, including interacting with auditors professionally and
respectfully and promptly communicating about any issues and concerns.
Moreover, our audit does not relieve management or the governing body of their responsibilities.
Management's responsibilities,with oversight from the governing body, include:
• Selecting and applying appropriate administrative and accounting policies.
• Establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting, compliance,
and safeguarding of public resources.
• Designing and following effective controls to prevent and detect fraud, theft, and loss.
• Promptly reporting to us knowledge of any fraud, allegations of fraud or suspected fraud
involving management, employees or others, in accordance with RCW 43.09.185.
• Ensuring compliance with laws,regulations and provisions of contracts and grant agreements.
• Preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the cash basis
Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting System Manual(BARS).
• Preparing the following supplementary information:
o Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (including notes and noncash assistance
received) that includes all expenditures from federal agencies and pass-through
agencies in the form of grants, contracts, loans, loan guarantees,property, cooperative
agreements, interest subsidies, insurance, food commodities, direct appropriations,
and other assistance in accordance with Uniform Guidance 2 CFR § 200.510
requirements
o Schedule of Liabilities in accordance with the BARS Manual
• Identifying all federal awards received.
• Understanding and complying with the provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant
agreements, including applicable program compliance requirements.
• Establishing and maintaining internal control over compliance, including establishing and
maintaining effective controls that provide reasonable assurance that the County administers
government programs in compliance with the compliance requirements.
• Evaluating and monitoring compliance with federal award requirements.
• Informing us of the County's relationships with significant vendors who are responsible for
program compliance
• Submitting the reporting package and data collection form through the Federal Audit
Clearinghouse.
Responsibilities at the conclusion of the audit
At the conclusion of our audit, the County will provide us with a letter to confirm in writing certain
express and implied representations made during the course of the audit. This letter includes
representations regarding legal matters. A separate letter may be needed from the County's legal
counsel.
Office of the Washington State Auditor will publish the audit report. The County may not publish any
document containing the audit report that has any change or modification to its contents without our
express written consent, including the financial statements, supplementary and other information
referenced in the auditor's report. You should contact us if any changes are needed to the audit report
or its content. Likewise, we will contact you if we subsequently discover any need to change our
report.
Management and the governing body are also responsible for following up and taking corrective action
on all audit findings,including,when applicable,preparing a summary schedule of prior audit findings
and a corrective action plan on the County's own letterhead.
Estimated Audit Costs and Timeline
We estimate the cost of the audit work to be $82,000, plus travel costs, and other expenses, if any.
Invoices for these services will be prepared and presented each month as our audit work progresses.
We anticipate our reports will be published on our website at www.sao.wa.gov and be available to
you and the public as outlined below. These estimates are based on timely access to financial
information and no significant audit reporting issues. The estimated cost and completion date may
change if unforeseen issues arise or if significant audit issues are identified necessitating additional
audit work. We will promptly notify you if this is the case.

Entrance Conference: Mason County
The Office of the Washington State Auditor's vision is increased trust in government. Our mission is to provide
citizens with independent and transparent examinations of how state and local governments use public funds, and
develop strategies that make government more efficient and effective.
The purpose of this meeting is to share our planned audit scope so that we are focused on the areas of highest risk.
We value and appreciate your input.
Audit Scope
Based on our planning, we will perform the following audits:
Accountability audit for January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025
We will examine the management, use and safeguarding of public resources to ensure there is protection from
misuse and misappropriation. In addition, we will evaluate whether there is reasonable assurance for adherence
to applicable state laws, regulations and policies and procedures.
We plan to evaluate the following areas:
• Cash receipting—timeliness and completeness of deposits
• Accounts receivable—utility billing, adjustments and collections
• Open public meetings—compliance with minutes, meetings and executive session requirements
• Financial condition—reviewing for indications of financial distress
Financial statement audit for January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025
We will provide an opinion on whether your financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects, in
accordance with the applicable reporting framework. The audit does not attempt to confirm the accuracy of every
amount, but does search for errors large enough to affect the conclusions and decisions of a financial statement
user.
Federal grant compliance audit for January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025
This audit is required by federal law when a local government spends $1,000,000 or more annually in federal
financial assistance.We will provide an opinion on compliance with federal requirements that could have a direct
and material effect on your major federal programs.
We plan to test the following federal program:
• Highway Planning and Construction,ALN 20.205
This report must be submitted, along with the Data Collection Form, to the federal clearinghouse within 30 days
after receipt of the report or nine months after the end of the audit period, whichever is earlier.

engagement terms and limitations. Additionally the letter identifies the cost of the audit, estimated timeline for
completion and expected communications.

significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal controls; misappropriation; and material abuse or
non-compliance with laws, regulations or policies. You will be given the opportunity to respond to a finding and
this response will be published in the audit report.
Management Letters
Management letters communicate control deficiencies, non-compliance, misappropriation, or abuse that are less
significant than a finding, but still important enough to be formally communicated to the governing body.
Management letters are referenced,but not included, in the audit report.

Exit items address control deficiencies, non-compliance with laws or regulations, or errors that have an
insignificant effect on the audit objectives. These issues are informally communicated to management.

(This is the responsibility of the requesting Department)
Item: Establish an abatement program.
Background/Executive Summary: Illegal solid waste accumulation and unauthorized dumping
continue to create environmental,public health,and infrastructure challenges throughout Mason
County.Properties that remain in violation for extended periods often require increasingly costly
cleanup efforts and can negatively impact surrounding neighborhoods,waterways,drainage
systems,and County-maintained infrastructure.
Current enforcement resources limit the County's ability to respond promptly and consistently.
Establishing dedicated funding will improve compliance efforts while ensuring adequate resources
are available to address violations that require formal enforcement or County-led abatement.
Budget Impact(amount,funding source,budget amendment, etc.): The proposed funding source is
consistent with state law.House Bill 2442 expanded the authorized uses of Real Estate Excise Tax
(REET) revenues to include expenditures for the abatement of structures and properties under
certain circumstances.This expanded authority recognizes that timely abatement protects public
infrastructure,prevents environmental degradation, and supports community revitalization.The
proposed Solid Waste Compliance Program uses REET funding for these authorized purposes by
providing resources to remove nuisance solid waste and other conditions that threaten public
infrastructure,natural resources,and neighborhood health and safety.
This proposal establishes a sustainable funding model using REET revenues to support compliance
activities that protect public infrastructure and community assets.
Annual REET expenditures are proposed as follows:
Category Amount
Personnel $111,072
Abatement Reserve $100,000
Hearing Examiner $40,000
Total $251,072
Vehicle $25,000
Public Outreach: Briefing and Action Agenda
Requested Action:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed BEET allocation to establish an Enhanced Solid Waste
Compliance Program and authorization for unexpended abatement funds to remain in a dedicated
revolving reserve for future abatement activities.
Attachment(s):Abatement Proposal

• Site restoration associated with solid waste abatement
• Other direct costs necessary to complete County-authorized abatements
Hearing Examiner Services
Funding will provide Hearing Examiner services necessary to conduct administrative hearings
for enforcement actions and appeals, ensuring timely resolution while protecting due process
rights.
Revolving Abatement Reserve
Because annual abatement needs vary significantly, any unexpended balance in the abatement
fund will remain dedicated to the program and roll forward into subsequent fiscal years.
Maintaining a revolving reserve will:
• Build capacity for unusually large or complex abatements.
• Reduce the need for future increases in REET appropriations.
• Allow immediate response to high-priority public health and environmental hazards.
• Improve long-term fiscal stability by smoothing annual funding needs.
Financial Impact
Annual REET expenditures are proposed as follows:
Category Amount
Personnel $111,072
Abatement Reserve $100,000
Hearing Examiner $40,000
Total $251,072
The annual rollover of unused abatement funds is expected to reduce future funding needs by
creating a reserve that can absorb fluctuations in cleanup costs without requiring additional
appropriations.
Public Benefit
Approval of this proposal will:
• Protect public infrastructure from damage associated with illegal dumping and
unmanaged solid waste.
• Reduce environmental impacts to streams, wetlands, drainage systems, and other natural
resources.
• Improve compliance with Mason County solid waste regulations.
• Increase consistency and timeliness of code enforcement.
• Reduce long-term cleanup costs through earlier intervention.
• Improve neighborhood appearance and quality of life.
• Promote fairness by ensuring consistent enforcement across the county.
• Strengthen the County's ability to recover cleanup costs from responsible parties

Item: Public Health funding using House Bill 2442
Background/Executive Summary:
The current status of funding at the federal, state, and local levels is producing extraordinary stress
on public health. In the spring of 2026,the legislature passed Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2442
to provide flexibility and funding to local jurisdictions.
In conversations with other health jurisdictions and providers,we have a joint concern that HR 1
will impact Medicaid recipients and may require new low-or no-cost public health clinical access
that may include family planning,women's health, and immunizations. Mason County Public
Health has a facility with clinic rooms and has the foundation to bring back clinical services through
public health.This would necessarily demand a funding stream and partnerships with health
providers in Mason County.The clinic would require public health to have the ability to bill
insurance, Medicaid, and have a sliding fee schedule. Experience has shown us that these sources
alone would not be able to fund the clinic.
We have prepared a document that outlines the different funding streams available in House Bill
2442. It includes the type of funding and restrictions on the funding. It also includes forecasts for
the amount of funding that could be raised.

Requested Action: Discussion and Direction
Attachment(s): Summary of HB 2442
Based on the enrolled text of Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2442(ESHB 2442) passed
by the Washington State Legislature, local jurisdictions have significant new flexibility to
add funding vectors. For the Mason County Public Health and Human Services
Department, the bill provides three distinct categories of local funding expansions—
covering sales taxes, property tax levy adjustments, and interlocal pooling.
Below is a summary of the specific areas in the file where Mason County could add county-
level funding to bolster its public health and human services:
1. Local Sales and Use Tax Expansions
The bill establishes new local sales tax mechanisms that can be directly leveraged for
early-intervention family programs and housing infrastructure.
• The 0.01% Family Services Tax(New Section 202):The bill adds a brand-new
section to Chapter 82.14 RCW allowing a county legislative authority to impose a
sales and use tax not to exceed 0.01%.
o Mechanism: It can be enacted by the council by resolution or ordinance.
o Permitted Uses: Must be used solely for child care, perinatal support,
before/after-school youth services (mental, social, behavioral, and physical
health),workforce capacity building, shelter/rental assistance, and client
transportation.
o City Credit: If the City of Shelton were to pass this first, the county must
provide a credit so the combined rate does not exceed 0.01%.
• The 0.1%Affordable Housing and Behavioral Health Tax(Sec. 301):The bill
amends RCW 82.14.530 to expand local authority for housing and related services.
o Mechanism: It allows the county legislative authority to impose up to a 0.1%
sales tax by the council("without a proposition approved by a majority of
persons voting")as an alternative to putting it on a voter ballot.
o Permitted Uses:At least 60% must go toward constructing/acquiring
affordable housing or behavioral health facilities. The remainder can
explicitly fund operations, delivery, or evaluation of behavioral health
treatment programs and services.
• The 1.0% Rental Car Sales Tax Expansion (Sec. 601):The bill expands the usage
rules of the optional 1% retail car rental tax under RCW 82.14.049. It explicitly
permits proceeds to be utilized for criminal justice purposes, which can indirectly
free up general fund dollars for health and human services.
2. Local Property Tax Levy Authorities (Effective 2027)
Part VIII and Part IX of ESHB 2442 alter property tax restrictions, allowing counties to
establish targeted levies or alter proration limits specifically for public health clinics.
• County Public Health Clinic Property Tax Levy(New Section 801):The county
may levy an additional regular property tax up to 5 cents per$1,000 of assessed
value.
o Permitted Uses: Must be used strictly for the operation, maintenance, and
capital expenses of public health clinics.
o Broad Definition:The bill text explicitly defines "public health clinic" broadly
enough to encompass low-barrier public health sites, including primary care,
dental, reproductive care, substance use disorder treatment, and
maternal/child/family health and nutrition.
• Mental Health & Developmental Disabilities Levy Floor(Sec. 901):Amending
RCW 71.20.110, the bill adjusts the county's mandate to levy a tax for
developmental disabilities and mental health services to a flat 2.5 cents per$1,000
of assessed value. These funds can also be transferred to the state to pull down
federal matching funds to amplify local service capacity.
• Property Tax Prorationing Protection (Sec.401 &402):To ensure these new
human service property levies are not accidentally gutted by statutory tax caps, the
bill adds county public health clinic operations, veterans' assistance, and
developmental disabilities/mental health services to the protected proration list
under RCW 84.52.043. If tax rates exceed statutory maximums, these critical
human services levies are insulated from being eliminated first.
3. Interlocal Pooling and Fund Flexibility
• Bonding and Fund Pooling(Sec. 301 /Subsection 7):The bill explicitly permits
Mason County to enter into an interlocal agreement with other neighboring
counties, cities, or public housing authorities to pool tax receipts collected from
the housing/behavioral health sales taxes. This allows smaller counties like Mason
to collectively back revenue bonds or share regional programmatic operations to
lower administrative overhead.
A pro-forma revenue calculation requires a clear baseline of the county's Taxable Retail
Sales (TRS).
According to local financial disclosures, Mason County generates roughly$9.5 million
annually from its basic local countywide sales tax allocation. Because the basic local
county tax rate is 1.0% (split between the county general fund and local cities like Shelton),
we can mathematically extrapolate that the baseline for annual taxable retail sales
occurring across all of Mason County is approximately$950,000,000($950 million). [1, 2,
3]
Using this baseline, the pro-forma projections show the gross potential revenue generated
by implementing the new authorities under ESHB 2442.
Pro-Forma Revenue Projections
Tax Calculation Estimated Annual
Potential Tax Code Option
Rate Formula Gross Yield
Sec. 202: Services for Children & $950,000,000 x
0.01% $95,000
Families 0.0001
Sec. 301: Housing& Behavioral $950,000,000 x
0.10% $950,000
Health 0.0010
Critical Variables Affecting actual Yield
When evaluating these pro forma figures for a budget model, three distinct factors will alter
the actual net cash flowing to the Public Health & Human Services Department:
1. The City of Shelton Credit Offset(Sec. 202): If Mason County passes the 0.01%
family services tax countywide, but the City of Shelton exercises its right to enact
the exact same tax internally, the county must grant Shelton a tax credit. This means
the county would lose the revenue generated within Shelton city limits, shrinking the
$95,000 gross county yield down to an estimated $65,000 to$70,000 net for
countywide distribution.
2. The "Unincorporated" Boundary Factor(Sec. 301):The $950,000 behavioral
health/housing yield assumes a countywide ordinance. If implemented via
councilmanic authority, the county has the first right of refusal. However, if specific
carve-outs or regional collection distribution arrangements are established via
interlocal agreements with Shelton, the net revenue distributed to the county health
department could fluctuate.
3. DOR Administrative Fee:The Washington Department of Revenue (DOR)typically
retains a small administrative fee (usually around 1%)to process, audit, and
distribute local sales tax collections back to counties, which slightly reduces the
final net payout.
According to the Washington Department of Revenue (DOR) calendar reports, the actual
baseline for total annual Taxable Retail Sales (TRS) across all of Mason County reached
$1,250,738,034($1.25 billion). [1]
Using this concrete$1.25 billion figure as Year 1 (2026), the 5-year growth forecast models
funding yields using a conservative 3.0%annual compound growth rate—reflecting
historically steady retail trends in the region. [1]

Total $664,035 $6,640,338 $7,304,373
Funding
Note: This model assumes total countywide collection. If the City of Shelton exercises its
right to enact the 0.01%portion internally, the countywide yield for that subsection drops
by roughly 28% due to the city credit offset requirement.
Resulting Total Combined Sales Tax Rates
Implementing these codes will shift the final checkout total paid by consumers in Mason
County. The current rates established by the Washington State Tax Structure break down as
follows: [ ]
1. Unincorporated Mason County(e.g., Belfair, Hoodsport)
• Current Combined Rate: 8.60% (6.50% State + 2.10% Local)
• If 0.01%Tax Added: 8.61%
• If 0.10%Tax Added: 8.70%
• If BOTH Taxes Added: 8.71% [ , 2, 3,4]
2.Within Shelton City Limits
• Current Combined Rate: 8.90% (6.50% State + 2.40% Local)
• If 0.01%Tax Added: 8.91%
• If 0.10%Tax Added: 9.00%
• If BOTH Taxes Added: 9.01%
Key Analytical Takeaway
Even if both optimization mechanisms are fully implemented, Mason County's highest
possible local checkout rate would be 9.01% inside Shelton. This leaves the county well
below the statewide average combined tax rate of 9.51%, and significantly below major
metropolitan regions like Seattle (10.55%), demonstrating that the county maintains ample
statutory headroom. [ , ]

Item: Proposed Changes to Mason County Code(MCC) Chapter 6.04
Back2round/Executive Summary: Mason County Code(MCC) 6.04 Definitions and General Provisions
was established in 1970 and last updated in 1979. At that time,Mason County was part of the Thurston-
Mason Health District,which combined or shared public health authority with Thurston County over both
jurisdictions. Since that time,much has changed in Mason County. The focus of this code update is to
remove language that conflicts with the Fourth Amendment, correct out-of-date code references, and
reflect our current status as a local health department rather than a health district.
This draft was reviewed and approved by the Mason County Board of Health at their August 4th meeting.

Introduction
This report summarizes Mason County's 2025 Bridge Program. This program forms an
integrated and comprehensive strategy to maintain and preserve the county's bridges and road
network continuity. The three main goals of the Bridge Program are:
➢ Keep the bridges open and safe for public use.
➢ Preserve the bridge infrastructure by having a formal bridge report for each bridge
which contains inspection history documentation, condition evaluation, and bridge
summary data.
➢ Replace bridges with reliable new structures when repair and/or rehabilitation are
not economical or physically feasible.
This Bridge Report contains additional information concerning the county's bridge system. For
each bridge listed in Appendix A, a condition report has been submitted to WSDOT for the
Washington State Bridge Inventory Systems (WSBIS).
As required by WAC 136-20-060, each County Engineer in Washington State must submit
a written report of findings to the legislative body concerning the county's bridge inspection
effort by June 1 of each year. We have compiled a variety of information in the annual
update of the Bridge Report to meet the 2026 report requirements.
Before adoption of the annual budget, the Board of County Commissioners is required to
adopt a Six-Year Plan for Transportation Improvements. WAC1 36-20-060 also requires
that the resolution adopting the Six-Year Program state that this engineer's summary with
respect to deficient bridges was available to the Board during preparation of the plan.

Bridge Inventory
Mason County Public Works inspects and inventories 104 roadway bridges and large culverts
that are located within Mason County. All are entered into the Washington State Bridge Inventory
System (WSBIS). Another 60 are also reported to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as
required by the RCW. The remaining 44 structures are "short spans" (structures under 20 feet in
length) and are not required to be reported to the FHWA. The bridge list consists of:
• 103 bridges and culverts owned by Mason County
• 1 bridge owned by the City of Shelton
Classified by substructures, the bridges inspected by Mason County are categorized
as follows:
• 48 Concrete Bridges
• 8 Timber Bridges
• 15 Concrete Box Culverts
• 31 Culverts (Steel, Aluminum)
• 2 Steel Bridges

Mason County Public Works 2026 Annual Bridge Report
Bridge Inspections
Bridge Inspections are performed in accordance with the National Bridge Inspection
Standards (NBIS) to conform to 23 CFR 650.3. The NBIS mandates that public agencies
inspect and report on all bridges over 20' feet span, biannually. Under these standards,
the county is required to document and report the current condition of each bridge,
determine the degree of wear and deterioration, and recommend repairs or required
service.
Mason County Public Works Department has been able to inspect each bridge
at a minimum inspection frequency of two years. A more frequent inspection schedule is
established for bridges that are aging, have a long maintenance history, or with high
environmental exposure. This program has served the citizens of Mason County with
early identification of maintenance needs, resulting in economical repair costs.
The inspectors use the NBIS standards to document the current condition of each bridge element
listed. The deficiencies are coded to NBIS standards and show the degree of deterioration in
various elements— the three primary elements being:
• deck,
• superstructure, and
• substructure
As deterioration occurs, the coding values drop, if applicable a repair order is issued to the
Mason County maintenance or contractor to conduct the proposed repair. In cases where
the coding factors drop significantly, the county engineer will recommend repair,
replacement, or rehabilitation. Bridges with identified deficiencies may be inspected more
often.
Updated inspection results are forwarded to the WSDOT's Highway and Local Programs
Bridge Division, which in turn verifies compliance with the NBIS and reports to the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA). A copy of the Inspection Report is kept in the bridge file
at Mason County Public Works.
Mason County Public Works 2026 Annual Bridge Report
Bridge Findings
When bridge deficiencies are found during inspections. Work items are identified and sent to
the engineer. Some work items are urgent and are repaired quickly, while others are
prioritized lower as longer-term maintenance items that will help extend the bridge's service
life. Maintenance or contract crews concentrate on repairs that will help preserve the service
life of the inventory, with an emphasis on safety.
Approximately half the bridges are inspected every other year. If the underside of the bridge
deck cannot be given close or adequate inspection from the ground, then a special inspection
using a UBIT (under bridge inspection truck) is required. During these bridge inspections,
inspectors make an in-depth condition evaluation of the bridge structure and document any
observable defects.
See our list of special inspections (Exhibit A), for details on inspection frequencies and
schedules for all UBIT, underwater bridge (UW), and non-redundant steel tension members
(NSTM).

Deficient Bridges
Washington State bridge program no longer calculates the rating factor known as the Sufficiency
Rating.
Structures are now determined structurally deficient when a culvert, deck, superstructure, and
/ or substructure overall condition code is of 4 or less (condition codes range from excellent 8 to
failed condition 0).
OR
The waterway adequacy code is 2 or less.
Waterway adequacy appraises the waterway opening with respect to the passage of flow through
the bridge (condition codes range from excellent 8 to closed 0).
Mason County currently has 82 structures rated as good (codes are between 8 and 7).
Mason County currently has 20 structures rated as fair (codes are between 6 and 5).
Mason County currently has 2 structures rated as poor (see below).

Mason County Public Works 2026 Annual Bridge Report
Scour Evaluation
In 1988, federal requirements for bridge inspections were updated to include mandatory scour
evaluations for all bridges that cross water. Scour evaluations examine bridge abutments and piers
that may be damaged because of debris build up or water surging around the structure and eroding
foundation soils. The purpose of a scour evaluation is to determine the susceptability of a bridge's
foundation to the erosive action of flowing water, excavating, and carrying away material from the
bridge foundation. A bridge is considered scour critical if it's foundation is unknown or
determined to be unstable for observed or calculated scour.
The implementation of the mandated scour evaluation program in Washington requires all
agencies responsible for bridges to complete scour evaluations. All bridges designated as scour
critical require a scour Plan of Action. Mason County has 5 bridges that are scour critical based
on shallow footings calculations and 25 bridges that are determined to be scour critical because
of unknown foundations (Exhibit D). These bridges are monitored during and after 25 year storm
events.

Bridge Maintenance Activities
Maintenance and repairs are sometimes necessary to prevent further deterioration of structures
to extend their useful life, and to reduce major repair costs in the future. During bridge
inspections, maintenance needs are identified and documented. Minor bridge repair work is
completed by county road operations and maintenance crews, with major repairs being
completed by contract. Typical annual maintenance includes brush cutting, deck and drain
cleaning, sign repairs, and guardrail repairs. This year, general maintenance was performed by
the leveling of roadway approaches, cleaning decks and drains, brush removal, and crack
sealing.

Current Bridge Projects
Crisman Bridge is a 24 ft long timber slab superstructure with concrete piers believed to have
been constructed in 1965, although there are no records to validate. This bridge is located on
Beeville Loop Road. The timber slab will be replaced with a prefabricated metal superstructure
this summer with County forces and county funds.
Portman Bridge is a 16 ft long timber slab superstructure with concrete piers believed to have
been constructed in 1954, although there are no records to validate. This bridge is located on
Beeville Loop Road. Unfortunately, being under a 20 ft span, this structure is not eligible for
federal replacement funds. The timber slab will be replaced with a prefabricated metal
superstructure this summer with County forces and county funds.
Danny Walker Bridge is an 18 ft long timber slab superstructure with concrete piers believed to
have been constructed in 1954, although there are no records to validate. This bridge is located
on Beeville Loop Road. Unfortunately, being under a 20 ft span, this structure is not eligible for
federal replacement funds. The timber slab will be replaced with a prefabricated metal
superstructure this summer with County forces and county funds.
Tahuya Post Office Bridge is a 20 ft long prestressed concrete girders and concrete piers
believed to have been constructed in 1963, although there are no records to validate. The bridge
is located on N. Shore Road. We have a photograph dated 1971 showing five feet of clearance
between the stream bed and the soffit of the girders. After the 2007 storm, aggradation of the
Caldervin stream has raised the stream bed and reduced the clearance to 1ft. Unfortunately,
being under a 20 ft span, this structure is not eligible for federal replacement funds. The timber
slab will be replaced with a prefabricated metal superstructure this summer with County forces
and county funds.
Satsop Cloguallum Road MP 3.01, 3.52 and 5.06 culvert replacements. The existing
deteriorated corrugated steel culverts will be replaced with 10 ft diameter round aluminum pipes
this summer with County forces and county funds.

Programmed Bridge Projects
Stretch Island Bridge was constructed in 1952 and reconstructed in 1971. It has concrete piers
with timber caps, post, stringers, and deck. There are various locations of rot in the timber
members. Piers 1, 8, and 19 are spread footings and are scour critical based on calculations.
This structure is the only vehicle access to Stretch Island. This structure will need to be replaced
in the future. Estimated at $15 to $20 million.
Hliboki Bridge is a timber structure rebuilt in 1971 consisting of three spans. This structure
provides access to residents on Bulb Farm Road. There is core rot in multiple stringers which
reduces the overall bridge rating to poor. This structure will need to be replaced in the future.
Estimate at $5 to $8 million.
Chapman Cove Bridge is a timber structure rebuilt in 1968 consisting of six spans. This
structure provides access to residents on Agate Loop Road. There is core rot in multiple caps
and piling. (Plans show the pilings are from the previous structure.) This structure will need to be
replaced in the future. Estimated at $5 to $10 million.
Harstine Island Bridge was constructed in 1969 on concrete columns and superstructure. There
are twelve locations on various columns that have delamination and spalling with reinforcing
steel exposed and rusting. We have applied for but failed to secure grant funding. These will
need to be repaired in the future. Estimated at $1 to $2 million.
Vance Creek Div Bridge is a 70 ft long precast concrete structure built in 1959. The Vance
creek has aggregated over the years and raised the creek bed. Flooding brings large logs
downstream striking the upstream girder. This girder has cracks and spalling with exposed steel
and cables. We have applied for but failed to secure grant funding to replace the girder. The
girder or the whole bridge will need to be replaced in the future. Estimated at $ 0.5 to $15 million.
Boiling Bridge is an 18 ft long timber structure built in 1971 . This structure is on Boling Road
and is the only access for residents. The timber caps on this structure have core rot.
Unfortunately, being under 20 ft span, this structure is not eligible for federal replacement funds.
We have plans to remove the superstructure and caps, then forming new concrete caps and
installing a new prefabricated metal superstructure with county forces. Estimated at $400,000.
Eich Bridge is a 29 ft long timber structure believed to have been constructed in 1968, although
there are no records to validate. This structure is on Eich Road and is the only access for the
residents. There are various core rot locations throughout the structure. This structure will need
to be replaced in the future. Estimated at $1 to $5 million.
Mission Creek 3 (Steelhead) Bridge is a 59 ft long prestressed concrete bridge on steel "H"
piling. The bridge is on Steelhead Road and is the only access for the residents. The 2007 storm
washed out the pier one road approach. An emergency repair was performed to restore access
across the structure. Currently the rip rap repair is failing, and the exposed "H" piling are still
exposed and rusting. The plan is to remove the 2007 repair, construct a new concrete pier wall
and footing to protect the "H" piling, then replace the road approach. Estimated at $250,000.
Mason County Public Works 2026 Annual Bridge Report
Beeville Peterson Creek 3 is a 15 ft span galvanized corrugated steel pipe on Beeville Road.
There are no records of when it was installed. The pipe has extensive rusting below the flow line.
2025-26 Trout's Unlimited has acquired a grant to design the replacement of this crossing.
Ever's Bridge is a 354 ft multi-timber span structure constructed in 1996. The middle span is a
timber arch design. The protective coating has deteriorated and allows water intrusion. The
arches have section loss and rot throughout the members. We have applied for but failed to
secure grant funding to replace the timber arches with steel members. Estimated at $1 to $7
million.
Rendsland Bridge is a 53 ft multi-span cast in place concrete bridge constructed in 1950. The
superstructure was replaced in 1973. Rendsland Creek flow of aggregate over time has caused
erosion of the concrete pier walls at piers 2 and 3. There is loss of concrete and aggregate but
no rust stains. These areas need to be repaired soon. Estimated at $1 million.
Cranberry Creek Pipe Arch is a 25 ft span aluminum box culvert with concrete footings
constructed in 1993. The pipe arch carries Mason Lake Road. One foot of the three feet high
footings are exposed and are in need of protective countermeasures. Estimated at $200,000.
Dayton Box Culverts are two galvanized steel pipe arches making a total of 40 feet span
constructed in 1988. The arches carry Shelton Matlock Road. Both structures have extensive
rust along the haunches. This structure will need to be replaced in the future. Estimated at $2 to
$7 million.
Skookum Creek Bridge is an 83 ft span prestressed concrete structure built in 2006. Both
expansion joints have failed and need replaced. We have applied for but failed to secure grant
funding for this repair. Estimated at $100,000.

Mason County Public Works 2026 Annual Bridge Report
Glossary of Bridge Terminology
Abutment — a substructure supporting the end of a single span, or the extreme end of a multi-
span superstructure and, in general, retaining or supporting the approach fill.
Backwall — the top-most portion of an abutment functioning primarily as a retaining wall to
contain approach roadway fill.
Bent — a supporting unit of the beams of a span made up of one or more column or
column-like members connected at their top-most ends by a cap, strut, or other horizontal
member.
Bracing — a system of tension or compression members, or a combination of these, connected
to the parts to be supported or strengthened by a truss or frame. It transfers wind, dynamic,
impact, and vibratory stresses to the substructure and gives rigidity throughout the complete
assemblage.
Cap — the horizontally-oriented, top-most piece or member of a bent sewing to distribute the
beam loads upon the columns and holds the beams in their proper relative positions.
Chord — in a truss, the upper-most and the lower-most longitudinal members, extending the full
length of the truss.
Compression — a type of stress involving pressing together; tends to shorten a member;
opposite of tension.
Culvert — a pipe or small structure used for drainage under a road, railroad or other
embankment. A culvert with a span length greater than 20 feet is included in the National Bridge
Inventory and receives a rating using the NBI scale.
Deck —portion of a bridge that provides direct support for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Elastomeric pads — rectangular pads made of neoprene, found between the substructures
and superstructure, that bears the entire weight of the superstructure. Elastomeric pads can
deform to allow for thermal movements of the superstructure.
Endwall — the wall located directly under each end of a bridge that holds back approach
roadway fill. The endwall is part of the abutment.
Nonredundant Steel Tension Member— a member in tension or with a tension element whose
failure could cause a portion of or the entire bridge to collapse.
Pier— a structure comprised of stone, concrete, brick, steel, or wood that supports the ends of
the spans of a multi-span superstructure at an intermediate location between abutments. A pier
is usually a solid structure as opposed to a bent, which is usually made up of columns.
Pile — a rod or shaft-like linear member of timber, steel, concrete, or composite materials driven
into the earth to carry structure loads into the soil.
Mason County Public Works 2026 Annual Bridge Report
Pin-pile — a series of two-inch-diameter pipes driven in a line into the ground to support the
timber planks of a small retaining wall, typically used to prevent erosion under a bridge
abutment.
Plan of Action — a detailed plan outlining actions needed to be taken by monitoring crews after
a high-water event.
Post or column — a member resisting compressive stresses, in a vertical or near vertical
position.
Scour— erosive action of removing streambed material around bridge substructure due to water
flow. Scour is of particular concern during high-water events.
Short span bridge — these bridges span less than 20 feet.

Item: Wildfire Insurance and Financial Resilience
Background/Executive Summary: (Research Requested by the Commission)Wildfire risk is
increasingly affecting the availability, affordability, and continuation of homeowners'insurance in
Washington State.When a traditional insurer declines or non-renews coverage,the physical and
financial risks to the property owner do not disappear;the available method of managing those
risks changes.Washington property owners may have alternative risk-transfer options through
another admitted insurer,the surplus-line insurance market, or the Washington FAIR Plan, each
with different qualifications, costs, coverage, and limitations. Insurance alone, however, does not
create resilience. Mitigation reduces the probability and consequence of physical loss,while
insurance transfers a portion of the remaining financial risk.Therefore, an effective wildfire
resilience system requires property owners, insurers, state regulators, and local government to
understand their respective authorities, responsibilities, capabilities, and limitations while
integrating Wildfire Risk Assessment>Mitigation>Documentation/Certification>Insurance
Eligibility>Financial Resilience.The objective is not simply to maintain insurance; it is to reduce
physical exposure while maintaining sufficient financial protection to support recovery following a
wildfire loss.

Wildfire Insurance Alternatives in Washington State
Financial Risk Transfer When Traditional Coverage Is Unavailable
Prepared.August 2026
Purpose
Wildfire creates two related risks: physical loss and financial loss. Mitigation can reduce the
probability and consequence of physical loss. Insurance transfers a portion of the remaining financial
risk. Neither mechanism replaces the other. A resilient system requires both.
The issue addressed in this paper is specific: What financial protection remains available when a
traditional homeowner's insurer will not provide or continue coverage because of wildfire exposure?
The Need
A property owner has a continuing NEED to protect the value of the home, contents, and financial
interest in the property. An insurer's decision not to accept the risk does not eliminate that need. It
changes the available method of risk transfer.
Washington homeowners may face higher premiums, nonrenewal, cancellation, or difficulty obtaining
new coverage as insurers apply property-level wildfire risk information to underwriting, pricing, and
renewal decisions. The response is therefore not a single insurance product. It is a sequence of
decisions.
Decision Sequence
Standard Market>Alternative Admitted Insurer> Surplus-Line Market>Washington FAIR
Plan>Lender>Placed Coverage
The sequence matters. The objective is to obtain the greatest reasonable protection at an acceptable
cost before moving to a more limited or more expensive mechanism.
1. Standard Homeowners' Insurance - Preferred Risk Transfer
Standard homeowners' insurance remains the preferred mechanism when available because it normally
combines dwelling,personal property, liability, and loss-of-use protection in one policy. Fire is
ordinarily an insured peril, subject to the policy's terms, limits, deductibles, and exclusions.
A nonrenewal by one company does not establish that the property is uninsurable. Underwriting
standards and wildfire tolerances differ. The first action is therefore to determine whether another
admitted insurer will accept the risk.
Wildfire Insurance Alternatives in Washington State I August 2026
2
2. Surplus-Line Insurance -Alternative Risk Transfer
Surplus-line insurance provides an alternative when the admitted market will not accept a high or
unusual risk. A Washington-licensed producer can work through a licensed surplus-line broker to
locate an insurer willing to underwrite the property.
Qualification is carrier specific. Cost is property-specific and generally higher than standard-market
coverage. The benefit is continued private risk transfer. The cost is greater premium expense,
potentially different deductibles and exclusions, and no Washington guaranty-fund protection if the
surplus-line insurer becomes insolvent.
Decision: Compare the additional premium and retained risk against the financial consequence of an
uninsured wildfire loss. Benefits > Costs.
3.Washington FAIR Plan -Insurance Safety Net
The Washington FAIR Plan is the insurance safety net when normal-market coverage cannot be
obtained. It is not the equivalent of a comprehensive homeowner's policy. Its function is narrower:
maintain basic property risk transfer when the traditional market will not accept the property.
Qualification
• Property must be in Washington State.
• The applicant must use a Washington-licensed property insurance producer and submit the required
application.
• The property is subject to inspection and underwriting.
• The property must meet reasonable standards for physical condition, construction, heating, wiring,
occupancy, housekeeping, and maintenance.
• Farm and manufacturing risks are not eligible under the dwelling program.
• Wildfire-area location alone does not make the property ineligible.
• Coverage does not begin merely because an application is submitted. Processing, inspection,
acceptance, and premium payment are required.
Coverage
The dwelling application identifies fire as mandatory and permits additional listed perils. The policy is
written on an Actual Cash Value basis, with a maximum of$1.5 million in total coverage at one
location. This is a significant limitation when compared with replacement-cost homeowners' coverage.
Estimated Cost
There is no responsible statewide dollar estimate. Premium is determined for the individual property
after underwriting and inspection. The FAIR Plan states that its coverage is more expensive in most
situations than standard-market insurance. The current dwelling application identifies deductible
choices from $500 through $10,000.
Catastrophic Loss/Assessment: A catastrophic wildfire can create losses greater than the FAIR Plan's
available resources. Washington addresses this financial risk through assessments against participating
insurance companies based on their proportionate share of property-insurance premiums written in
Wildfire Insurance Alternatives in Washington State I August 2026
3
Washington (WAC 284-19-070). The assessment is against participating insurers -not directly against
FAIR Plan policyholders. However, the cost does not disappear. Catastrophic losses, assessments,
reinsurance, and loss experience become part of the insurance system and can influence future rates
and underwriting decisions, subject to Washington law and regulatory review.
Decision: The relevant question is not whether the FAIR Plan is inexpensive. It is whether the cost of
maintaining basic financial protection is justified by the consequence of retaining the entire wildfire
loss.
4. Lender-Placed Insurance -Lender Protection
Lender-placed insurance is not a homeowner resilience strategy. It occurs when required insurance is
not maintained and the mortgage lender obtains coverage to protect its financial interest. The
homeowner pays the cost, but the primary beneficiary of the protection is the lender.
Consequence: Allowing coverage to lapse can transfer control of the insurance decision from the
property owner to the lender while providing less useful protection to the owner.
5. Mitigation -Risk Reduction
Insurance transfers financial risk. Mitigation reduces physical risk. Defensible space, vegetation
management, home hardening, building materials, and recognized wildfire standards can reduce
exposure and may affect how insurers evaluate a property.
The Insurance Institute for Business &Home Safety (IBHS) Wildfire Prepared Home designation
became available to Washington homeowners in 2026. Documentation matters. Work that cannot be
demonstrated to an insurer may have less underwriting value than work supported by photographs,
receipts, inspections, or recognized certification.

8. Community Resilience System

Financial Resilience
This is a system, not a stand-alone insurance program. Mitigation does not eliminate wildfire risk.
Insurance does not prevent wildfire damage. Mitigation reduces the probability and consequence of
loss; insurance transfers a portion of the remaining financial risk.
The desired outcome is not simply an insured property. The desired outcome is a property with
reduced physical exposure and sufficient financial protection to support recovery after loss.
9. Property Owner Decision Points
• Determine why the existing insurer declined or nonrenewed the property.
• Determine whether another admitted insurer will accept the risk.
Wildfire Insurance Alternatives in Washington State I August 2026
5
• Identify mitigation actions that can reasonably change the property's exposure or underwriting
profile.
• Document completed mitigation.
• Obtain and compare surplus-line and FAIR Plan alternatives when standard coverage is
unavailable.
• Compare premium, deductible, coverage limit, valuation method, exclusions, and retained risk -
not premium alone.
• Maintain continuous coverage when required by a mortgage.
• Reevaluate the market after mitigation. A last-resort policy today does not establish that the
property must remain in that market permanently.
Conclusion
When traditional insurance is unavailable, the risk does not disappear. The property owner must either
transfer the financial risk through another mechanism or retain it. Washington provides two
meaningful alternatives: the surplus-line market and the Washington FAIR Plan. Lender-placed
insurance may prevent an uninsured lender interest, but it is not an equivalent homeowner solution.
The most resilient approach combines risk reduction with risk transfer. The decision should be based
on the property's exposure, the protection provided, the cost of that protection, and the consequences of
loss. Benefits>=Costs; however, the cost comparison must include the potential cost of being
uninsured.

Item:
Mason County and Teamsters Union Local 252/Operating Engineers Local 302 - MOU for
Public Works Camera Use Policy.
Background/Executive Summary:
Mason County has utilized closed circuit television(CCTV) at designated Public Works facilities
since 2024 to support the security and protection of County facilities, assets, and public safety.
Because the current 2026-2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement does not specifically address
the use of surveillance equipment, the County has continued discussions with Teamsters Local
No. 252 and Operating Engineers Local No. 302 to establish clear expectations regarding when
recorded footage may be accessed and how it may be used. The resulting Memorandum of
Understanding establishes that cameras are not to be used for routine employee performance
monitoring and limits review of footage to legitimate security, safety, operational, or
investigatory purposes.
Board approval authorizes the County to enter into this Memorandum of Understanding with the
represented bargaining units and formally incorporates these agreed-upon safeguards into the
parties' labor relationship. The agreement provides the County with the ability to appropriately
use existing surveillance footage when investigating matters such as criminal activity, security
incidents,property damage, safety concerns, or employee misconduct, while prohibiting open-
ended monitoring and preserving employees' contractual just-cause and procedural protections.

Surveillance Equipment—Use of Recorded Data
The County has implemented closed circuit television (CCTV) at designated locations within
Public Works facilities. Signage will be posted in all surveilled areas providing notice of camera
presence. Cameras are audio-free. Additional cameras may be installed at other locations with
advance notice to the Union.
Surveillance equipment is designated for the protection and management of County assets,
facilities, and public safety. It will not be used for employee performance monitoring, and
footage will not be introduced into the employee evaluation process for that purpose.
Authorized Review
Access to recorded footage is restricted to the IT Department and the Department Head or
designee. Written authorization is required for any access outside of designated personnel. All
recorded data is subject to applicable provisions of the Public Records Act.
Footage may be reviewed by authorized personnel in connection with:
• Suspected criminal conduct
• Security incidents or threats
• Facility or asset damage or loss
• Employee misconduct investigations
• Any other legitimate operational or safety purpose requiring review of facility activity
• Must be a legitimate reason to review video footage. Open ended monitoring is not
allowed.
Use of Incidental Findings
When authorized personnel are conducting a review of recorded footage for one of the purposes
identified above, and employee conduct constituting potential misconduct is observed in the
course of that review, such observations may be used as the basis for further investigation and
disciplinary action consistent with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, regardless of
whether the observed conduct relates to the original subject of the review.
Any discipline resulting from footage review shall be subject to the just cause standard and all
applicable procedural protections under this Agreement.
