The City of Shelton has contracted
with Olympic Health and Recovery
Services to hire a Designated Crisis
Responder (DCR).
The Shelton City Council on Tues—
day approved the contract. The city’s

ed that the city make the move to help

from the Association of Washington

of buildings for administration and
maintenance; and be “seismically ca-
pable to be immediately occupiable
after a magnitude 8.0 earthquake and
serve as the City Emergency opera-
tions center for all man—made and
natural disasters.” The site also needs
to have multiple access points and be
near the community.
The laydown yard would just be
the start for the transformation of the
5-acre, triangle—shaped piece of land
just north of Mason General Hospi-
tal. The project would be conducted in
three phases over the next nine years.
For 75 years, the city’s public works
yard has been located on 2.6 acres at
1000 West Pine St. The yard is home
to fleet repair, water and street opera-
tions, parks supplies, facilities main-
tenance, diesel and gas fueling sta-
tion, employee and fleet parking, and
materials storage.
Two appointed

The Shelton City Council on Tues-
day filled two positions on its Parks
and Recreation Advisory Committee.
Melvin Schneider will serve anoth-
er four-year term on the board, which
advises the council on future parks
and recreational resources, makes rec-
ommendations on park use and regu-
lations, serves as a liaison to the com-
munity, and assists in comprehensive
planning efforts. Dann Gagnon, who
applied for an open position on the
board, will also serve a four-year term.
