This policy is intended to establish equitable standards and to provide consistent and fair treatment to all employees who incur such expenses. It is also intended to establish and maintain effective controls over those expenses. County officials (department heads and elected officials) and County employees are expected to exercise prudent judgment when incurring travel expenses on behalf of the County doing official County business. The failure of employees to follow this policy, or incur excessive expenses, may be cause for disciplinary action.Non business related expenses and/or expenses not made in accordance with this policy will not be approved or reimbursed. All travel and associated expenses must be approved in advance by the department head or elected official. Employees will be reimbursed for reasonable and customary expenses actually incurred in connection with doing business on behalf of the County. These may include: meals, lodging, transportation and other necessary expenses while away from the office. These expenses may not include: alcoholic beverages; tobacco; tips exceeding 15%; meals, lodging or transportation provided for the employee by an outside entity as part of the employees participation; any expenses for a person(s)traveling with the employee; any expenses incurred that are not in connection with the business of the County All requests for payment of travel must be submitted to the Auditor's Financial Services department on forms approved and provided by the Auditor.

Travel documents should be presented to the Auditor's Financial Services department in the month the charges occur.

All requests for payment must be signed by the department head or elected official and the employee that is requesting reimbursement. An employee may not request reimbursement on behalf of another employee. If an employee is compensated by an outside entity for any travel costs while traveling on behalf of Mason County, the employee will deposit those funds with the Mason County Treasurer. The employee will provide the Auditor's Financial Services department with a copy of the Treasurer's deposit receipt and a detail of the expenses covered. Any member of a board, committee or commission that is not a Mason County employee, but is an appointed member to do business on behalf of Mason County is subject to all travel rules and documentation noted herein.

Meals will be reimbursed, minus any alcohol or a tip exceeding 15%,using the Washington State Office of Financial Management(OFM)per diem rates and, for out of state travel, the U.S. General Services Administration(GSA)per diem rates. The meals will be reimbursed up to the allowable rate for the area and meal on those rate maps.

Reimbursement will not be made if the employee chooses not to eat the meal provided and eats elsewhere. Single Day Per Diem (meal reimbursement): Single day per diem occurs when no overnight stay is required. Single day meal reimbursements are considered to be taxable wages according to the IRS and will be included as gross taxable income of the employee.

The department supervisor will forward the per diem form to the Auditor's Financial Services department. The meal will be added to their taxable gross wages and taxed accordingly. Per Diem (meal reimbursement) while in overnight travel status: If an overnight stay is required,per diem will be based on either OFM (in state) or GSA (out of state)rates for each day the employee is in full travel status.

I developed the curriculum for Rucking Through College, a workshop for transitioning service members entering college for the first time or returning after years away. The workshop translates the habits of military life, such as mission planning, endurance, and accountability to a unit, into practical strategies for navigating academic expectations, campus systems, and the shift from a structured command environment to self-directed learning. Building on the workshop's reception, I am now working with SPSCC's instructional leadership to develop it into a credit-bearing course modeled on the college's CCS 101 framework. The course will serve veterans and other returning adult learners, who share many of the same barriers: time away from formal education, competing work and family obligations, and uncertainty about where they fit on a campus built around traditional students. In May 2025, I founded the Miles of Honor Walk of Remembrance at South Puget Sound Community College. This Memorial Day observance invited students, staff, and community members to walk together in honor of service members who died in service to the nation. The following year, I expanded that observance into the inaugural Miles of Honor 5K. Growing the event required partnerships beyond campus: I coordinated with the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs and the Lacey Veterans Services Hub and reached out to 31 regional organizations. In two years, Miles of Honor moved from a campus remembrance to a community event, and it now gives local veteran serving organizations a shared point of connection each Memorial Day. I also led the effort to establish a chapter of the SALUTE Veterans National Honor Society at SPSCC, which received approval in October 2026. The chapter recognizes academic achievement among student veterans and creates a structure for leadership and service beyond the classroom. We will induct our first members at our Military Ball in February 2027. Across these efforts, my aim remains the same: to build lasting institutions that connect veterans to their communities and give them meaningful ways to continue serving. What do you perceive is the role or purpose of this advisory board? The Board serves as the community's link between Mason County veterans in financial hardship and the Veterans' Assistance Fund. Its core function is to review requests and recommend relief for indigent veterans and their families, ensuring the fund is administered fairly, consistently, and in keeping with RCW 73.08 and the board's operating policies. The board also connects veterans to the broader network of local resources that can address needs the fund alone cannot meet. I understand that purpose firsthand. When I transitioned out of the military, I completed much of my education online and navigated the move to civilian life largely on my own. The support I needed was often hard to find, slow to arrive, or missing entirely. That experience taught me how much depends on whether someone is in a position to help at the right moment, and how quickly a manageable setback can become a crisis when no one is. That's why I built my career around serving student veterans: I want to be the support for them that I never had. This board extends that same commitment beyond campus to veterans and families across Mason County, and I see its role as ensuring that when a veteran reaches out for help, the response is timely, fair, and backed by people who understand what they are facing. What interest or skills do you wish to offer this advisory board? As Director of the VALOR Center at South Puget Sound Community College, I work daily at the intersection of veterans' needs and the systems designed to meet them. I serve as a School Certifying Official, which requires precise knowledge of VA education benefits, eligibility rules, and documentation standards. That regulatory fluency translates directly to the board's responsibility for applying eligibility criteria consistently and defensibly. I also bring experience building partnerships across the regional veteran serving network. I founded the Miles of Honor Walk of Remembrance in 2025. I expanded it into the inaugural Miles of Honor 5K in 2026, coordinating with the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs, the Lacey Veterans Services Hub, and more than 30 regional organizations. Those relationships would help the board connect veterans to resources beyond the fund. My doctoral work in public administration at Walden University adds a policy and program evaluation perspective, which I would apply to questions of fund stewardship, process improvement, and how the board measures its impact. As a veteran and a Mason County property owner, I have a personal stake in seeing local veterans well served.

Mason County Parks& Trails would like to apply for the program for MCRA turf field replacement. While the project remains under consideration, the current ranking creates some uncertainty regarding the likelihood and timing of funding. Staff would therefore like to pursue an additional state funding pathway to improve the opportunity for the project to move forward. The project may also warrant consideration under the state's Regional Needs capital funding category, particularly if MCRA can be demonstrated to serve a significant regional population beyond Mason County. Staff recommends engaging with Mason County's 35th Legislative District Senator and Representatives to seek their support and discuss the most appropriate state capital-budget funding pathway. To be considered,requests should be submitted through this form by October 30,2026.

Please enter at most 800 characters Mason County seeks funds to address safety concerns by replacing two aging synthetic-turf infields at Mason County Recreation Area (MCRA). MCRA is a regional sports facility serving athletes from Mason and Thurston Counties and communities throughout Washington. The park has hosted events such as the Washington State Senior Games. These events bring athletes, families, and visitors to Mason County, supporting the local economy. The fields were converted from dirt to synthetic turf in 2012 through a Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program grant. After more than a decade of heavy use, the turf has flattened and compacted, creating unsafe playing conditions. Replacing it will protect the 2012 investment and provide safe, quality playing surfaces for athletes of all ages. 3. Project benefits * Please describe how this project will benefit Washingtonians. If the project will have a revenue- generating component that would have community and state economic benefit or if it would result in long-term job creation, please also include that information. Please enter at most 500 characters This project extends the life of existing athletic facilities while minimizing environmental impacts by replacing turf within the current footprint rather than developing new land. More durable fields will reduce repairs, material waste, and weather-related cancellations, increasing opportunities for practices, games, tournaments, and community events.
