County commission roundup:
Moratorium hearing is continued
Mason County commissioners
continued their hearing on a
building moratorium in the Sko-
komish Valley until next week
after they ran into a wordblock
in their review of an interim or-
dinance.
At issue during the commis-
sioners' discussion at Tuesday's
meeting was the language of a
prohibition on clearing and con-
struction within 100 feet of the
river.
Commissioner John Bolender
wondered if, under the provi-
sions of the interim ordinance
the board adopted on December 17
last year, the county would be
able to do work on the river like
bank stabilization.
An amendment adopted as
part of the interim ordinance in-
eludes a subsection that states,
"(Hearing and construction is
prohibited in Class I Manage-
ment Areas within 100 feet of
Type I waters. This subsection
shall not apply to saltwater bod-
ies, including Hood Canal, or to
lakes greater than 20 acres."
Bolender suggested the ordi-
nance might conflict with rec-
ommendations from the compre-
hensive tlood control plan fbr tile
river.
BOLENDER ALSO expressed
concern about the ordinance for-
bidding a iandowner's planting
trees or removing noxious plants
to enhance or improve habitat.
"My concern is (we are) tying
one of our hands behind our
backs," he said. As the ordi-
nance is written, he said, his in-
terpretation is that there is an
"exclusion from doing any-
thing."
Other effects of the interim or-
dinance, according to Gary
Yando, community services di-
rector, are to extend to December
16, 1999 the ban on all new con-
st:ruction in the valley where
there is a threat to life and prop-
erty due to potential river avul-
sions, to allow nonresidential
construction in some areas of the

valley identified as Zone A
floodplain.
Yando explained the Decem-
ber 17 interim action was taken
to address the threat from poten-
tial changes in the river's chan-
nel and to provide additional
protections to fish and wildlife
habitat critical areas.
The hearing was continued to
11 a.m. February 9.
IN OTHER BUSINESS con-
ducted February 2 without Com-
missioner Mary Jo Cady, the
board:
Scheduled a public hearing
tbr 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 2, to
consider increasing fees for the
planning division of the com-
munity development depart-
ment. Yando explained that the
new rates were prepared based on
staff time and cost estimates for
processing various land-use
documents. He cited as examples
review of commercial and resi-
dential building permits, prepa-
ration of environmental impact
statements and checklists, and
shoreline permits, variances
and conditional use permits.
Yando provided a breakdown
of the existing fees, the actual
cost of doing the work and the
proposed fees which he added
would provide additional reve-
nue. The new rates were set to
more accurately reflect the costs
related to provide the adminis-
trative services required for pro-
cessing permits, actions and ap-
provals, he added.
Property taxes don't provide
the amount needed for the cost of
doing business, Bolender ob-
served. Permits and building
plan reviews are needed by the
public who comes to the county for
technical assistance, he said.
SIGNED A GRANT applica-
tion tbr funds to support the Ma-
son County Shelter at the request
of Jack Nevins, the homeless
shelter's executive director, who
said $55,000 would come from
U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development. If approved
the grant would cover the period
from May 1, 1999 to April 30,
2000.
About half of the funds would
be used to operate the shelter,
which serves about 100 families,
Nevins reported, and the other
half will be used in homeless-
ness prevention efforts by the
Community Action County.
While these funds will {'ill a
critical part of the need, Nevins
stressed, "We still will have
homeless populations in the com-
munity which won't be served
through the grant."
For instance, Nevins said
there are no facilities in the
county tbr single adults, victims
of domestic violence, and home-
less youth, which includes those
under 18 who are living alone or
traveling alone. Although
pleased to have the opportunity to
apply tbr the grant, he cautioned,
"This does not constitute a solu-
tion to the county's problem."
Set a hearing for 10:15 a.m.
Tuesday, March 2, to consider
vacating part of Prospect Avenue
in Hoodsport as requested by Sal-
ly Day.

Scheduled a public hearing
for 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Febru-
ary 16, to consider a supplemen-
tal appropriation to the budget of
$22,820 tbr the current expense
fund and $32,000 for the landfill
fun d.
Budget Director lone Siegler
told the board that the addition to
the current expense fund is due to
Community Juvenile Account-
ability Act grant for training
costs in probation services, de-
velopment ofa 'Toed and family"
program at the WSU Cooperative
Extension Office and an error in
salary computation in the audi-
tor's office. The landfill money
is from a recycling grant from
the state.
Approved a petition to annex
two sections of property into Ma-
son County Fire Protection Dis-
trict 2. After reviewing FD2
maps, Chief Mike Greene told the
board that these two sections
haw., been in "no-man's land,"
and are primarily forestlands
with one owner who requested the
annexation, While the district
has been providing service in the
area, this approwd of the petition
will tbrmalize the agreement, he
added.

son County Jail and the removal

the Belfair and central shop
facilities.
Loser explained, "The exist-
ing tanks do not meet the current
Department of Ecology (DOE)
tank requirements and are no
longer usable." This is the final
phase of the county's tank up-
grade process, he added.
AUTHORIZED THE chair
to sign two DOE grants for the
control of aquatic weeds. Tile
first is a two-year extension of"
the grant at Lake Limerick.
Dan Robinson, who has man-
aged the grant at Lake Limerick,
told the board the extension
would allow residents to stretch
the grant money and matching
funds from residents, set to ex-
pire in 1999, through to December
31, 2001. Treatment done in 1996
was very successful, Robinson
noted, and the lake had been
largely weed free. The amount of
the funds and the provisions of
the original contract will not
change, he added.
The second was an application
to DOE for $54,000 tbr a Mason
Lake aquatic weed program
similar to tile one at Lake Lim-
erick.
Authorized posting, adver-
tising and hiring of a part-time
HIV/AIDS outreach worker by
the personal health services di-
rector. The grant-funded posi-
tion, with ! wage of $10 per hour,
was included in tile 1999 budget.
AUTHORIZED Loser to fill
two vacant positions. The first is
an information services techni-
cian position created by the res-
ignation of Jeff Skinner, who
was hired by the city of Olympia
and whose last day with the
county is February 12, Loser told
the comnrissioners.
The second .job is that of intbr-
mation services supervisor, a
vacancy created by the resigna-
tion of Russell Johnson, Loser
noted. The post has been vacant
for several months while the job
description was developed.
Approved two county road
projects, both ificluded in the 1999
road fund budget. One was for
countywide culvert replacement
at a cost of $75,000 and the other
was for countywide sign place-
ment at a cost of $25,000.
(]ave the go-ahead to Loser to
use the telephone bid process to
obtain quotes for the purchase ofa
1995 or newer, reconditioned
Chevrolet Caprice four-door se-
dan with police package to be
used by detectives in the sheriff's
office. This vehicle will be used
to replace one of the county's
Dodge Spirits, Loser noted, and
should yield six to seven years of
service.
OKAYED USE of a new
classified advertising rate with
The Olympian, at the request of
Skip Wright, human services
director, who said this is one of
three newspapers in which coun-
ty jobs are posted.
Wright said the county no
longer is eligible tbr a nonprofit
rate which was previously of-
fered. By entering a 12-month
agreement, the county will be al-
lowed 1,400 lines at $2.13 per
line, Wright told the commis-
sioners, noting a "substantial
savings" over the standard per-
line charge tbr a Sunday classi-
fied ad. Last year the county used
approximately 1,100 lines, he re-
ported.
Approved veterans' assis-
tance fund applications, as rec-
ommended by the steering com-
mittee fbr six individuals total-
ing $2,020.
IN BUSINESS conducted on
January 19, the commissioners:
* Approved with three stan-
dard conditions a shoreline sub-
stantial-development permit for
Ernie Ufer to construct a pier,
ramp and float on the Sout:h Shore
of Itood Canal, one n)ile west of
Twanoh State Park at 11421 East
State Route 106.
e Voted no objection to a spe-
cial occasion liquor" license ap-
plication fl'om Shelton Nimrod
Club for an event scheduled from
6 p.m. to midnight on Saturday,
February 27, at the club's hall,
7340 West Shelton-Matlock
Road.
e Approved veterans' assis-
tance fund applications as rec-
ommended by the screening
committee for four individuals
totaling $1,375.
Correction: Betty Tozier said
she was misquoted in the county
roundup from the January 19
meeting. She did not say
"hunky" gravel, but says she
stated she wanted the large
ch.unks of gravel which the coun-
ty had placed on the property tbr
access removed.
She added that the fence which
her son Evan mentioned in the
meeting was a new one which
was destroyed when a trailer,
purchased by the county, was
moved and family wanted it re-
placed. Although her son-in-law
Ed Johnston stated five cedar
trees were removed, one which
was damaged by the county's
work, Mrs. Tozier explained that
there were only three stumps, but
one stump had three fi)rks.
Mrs. Tozier was also dis-
tressed about the headline which
used the word riled. She said she
did not mean to convey the idea
tile family was unhappy about the
dike work; instead, she noted,
"We are happy about anything
they do."
Tile Toziers were upset about
things which happened after the
work was done, she added.

son County Jail and the removal
of underground storage tanks at
the Belfair and central shop
facilities.
Loser explained, "The exist-
ing tanks do not meet the current
Department of Ecology (DOE)
tank requirements and are no
longer usable." This is the final
phase of the county's tank up-
grade process, he added.
AUTHORIZED THE chair
to sign two DOE grants for the
control of aquatic weeds. Tile
first is a two-year extension of"
the grant at Lake Limerick.
Dan Robinson, who has man-
aged the grant at Lake Limerick,
told the board the extension
would allow residents to stretch
the grant money and matching
funds from residents, set to ex-
pire in 1999, through to December
31, 2001. Treatment done in 1996
was very successful, Robinson
noted, and the lake had been
largely weed free. The amount of
the funds and the provisions of
the original contract will not
change, he added.
The second was an application
to DOE for $54,000 tbr a Mason
Lake aquatic weed program
similar to tile one at Lake Lim-
erick.
Authorized posting, adver-
tising and hiring of a part-time
HIV/AIDS outreach worker by
the personal health services di-
rector. The grant-funded posi-
tion, with ! wage of $10 per hour,
was included in tile 1999 budget.
AUTHORIZED Loser to fill
two vacant positions. The first is
an information services techni-
cian position created by the res-
ignation of Jeff Skinner, who
was hired by the city of Olympia
and whose last day with the
county is February 12, Loser told
the comnrissioners.
The second .job is that of intbr-
mation services supervisor, a
vacancy created by the resigna-
tion of Russell Johnson, Loser
noted. The post has been vacant
for several months while the job
description was developed.
Approved two county road
projects, both ificluded in the 1999
road fund budget. One was for
countywide culvert replacement
at a cost of $75,000 and the other
was for countywide sign place-
ment at a cost of $25,000.
(]ave the go-ahead to Loser to
use the telephone bid process to
obtain quotes for the purchase ofa
1995 or newer, reconditioned
Chevrolet Caprice four-door se-
dan with police package to be
used by detectives in the sheriff's
office. This vehicle will be used
to replace one of the county's
Dodge Spirits, Loser noted, and
should yield six to seven years of
service.
OKAYED USE of a new
classified advertising rate with
The Olympian, at the request of
Skip Wright, human services
director, who said this is one of
three newspapers in which coun-
ty jobs are posted.
Wright said the county no
longer is eligible tbr a nonprofit
rate which was previously of-
fered. By entering a 12-month
agreement, the county will be al-
lowed 1,400 lines at $2.13 per
line, Wright told the commis-
sioners, noting a "substantial
savings" over the standard per-
line charge tbr a Sunday classi-
fied ad. Last year the county used
approximately 1,100 lines, he re-
ported.

Correction: Betty Tozier said
she was misquoted in the county
roundup from the January 19
meeting. She did not say
"hunky" gravel, but says she
stated she wanted the large
ch.unks of gravel which the coun-
ty had placed on the property tbr
access removed.
She added that the fence which
her son Evan mentioned in the
meeting was a new one which
was destroyed when a trailer,
purchased by the county, was
moved and family wanted it re-
placed. Although her son-in-law
Ed Johnston stated five cedar
trees were removed, one which
was damaged by the county's
work, Mrs. Tozier explained that
there were only three stumps, but
one stump had three fi)rks.
Mrs. Tozier was also dis-
tressed about the headline which
used the word riled. She said she
did not mean to convey the idea
tile family was unhappy about the
dike work; instead, she noted,
"We are happy about anything
they do."
Tile Toziers were upset about
things which happened after the
work was done, she added.
