The Shelton City Council on Tues-
day awarded a $267,322 contract to

Transportation Improvement Plan.

Station will redirect most of the
wastewater flow in the northwest
sections of the city and pump to the
membrane treatment plant near
Sanderson Field.
According to the report from the
city’s Public Works Department, the
property purchase demonstrates the
city’s commitment to the proposed
comprehensive plan capital improve-
ment projects “and can be helpful for
the city to secure future grant funds
to construct the $9.2-million dollar lift
station and force main project.”

Sewer Lift Station and increasing
treatment storage at the membrane
plant are primary goals in the part-
nership between the city and the
Squaxin Island tribe, the city report
states. The projects will “allow much
more reclaimed water to be reused,
or infiltrate into the Goldsborough
Creek aquifer, and reduce the amount
of wastewater discharging from the
main treatment plant into Oakland
Bay,” it said.
Two of the eight parcels house a
cell tower. The current owners in
2020 signed a 99—year tower and
access area lease with the tower own-
ers, Landmark Infrastructure Hold-
ing. The city will continue the lease
agreement. The current owners were
already paid for the 99-year lease,
and the city will receive no payments.
City changes
jail deal with county
The City of Shelton will no longer
pay for seven guaranteed beds daily
at the Mason County Jail, and will
instead pay $130 a night for beds it
uses.
The Shelton City Council on Tues-
day evening unanimously voted to
change the arrangement. The Mason
County commissioners also approved
the new contract that day.
The city has been contracting with
the Mason County Sheriff’s Office for
jail services, and currently pays for
seven guaranteed beds per day. Five
of the beds are reserved for arrestees
who are only being charged with vio-
lations that would be adjudicated in
Municipal Court. Inmates are being
booked for Class A and B felonies, and
now the occasional Class C felony, but
not for lesser charges. 1
Due to those restrictions, “We’re
paying for seven beds we can’t neces—
sarily use,” Shelton Police Chief Car-
ole Beason on Jan. 3 told the Shelton
City Council.
The city recently signed a contract
to pay the Nisqually Correctional Fa-
cility $130 a day to provide jail beds
to arrestees. Shelton Police transport
the inmates to that facility.
