Page 2 Shelton-Mason County Journal Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023 CITY BRIEFS City awards contract to resurface Brockdale The Shelton City Council on Tues- day awarded a $267,322 contract to Miles Resources to resurface the pave— ment and separate lanes on Brockdale Road from Wallace Kneeland Boule- vard to Batstone Cutoff Road. The city received six bids for the project, ranging from Miles Resource’s low bid to the highest bid of $546,285 from Central Paving. , The project is funded by $278,000 in federal funding from the Surface Transportation Block Grant pro- , gram allocated to Mason County in 2021, which requires the city to give a 13.5% match, and $80,000 from the city’s Transportation Benefit District funding budgeted in 2022. Brockdale Road is listed in the city’s Six—Year Transportation Improvement Plan. City finalizes property for sewer lift station The Shelton City Council on Tues- day finalized the purchase of land on Olympic Highway North for a new sewer lift station.

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.
