That's the proposal before the Mason County Commission. A/er a pub- lic hearing the board voted to table the proposal for a few weeks in or- der to allow for more discussion of' the issue. The proposal is to raise fees 10 percent in 2007 and then 3 percent in subsequent years.

In past years, he said, the master builders had sup- ported increases when the work load indicated a need for those in- creases. However, he said in this case very little timely notification was published. HOUSKEEPER said the mas- ter builders received notice the afternoon before the hearing and would have appreciated earlier notification. He also questioned the county's value assessment process, as compared to that of Thurston County, which is more complex.
