Salisbury also announced that the department has a new mission statement which re- flects "the leadership role that the sheriffs office will undertake when working with the commu- nity in achieving public safety and enforcement goals." He said the mission is to "safeguard life and property, preserve the peace, detect and prevent crime, enforce the law and protect the rights of all citi- zens. We are committed to work- ing in partnership with the com- munity to identify and resolve issues that impact public safety. We are dedicated to preserving our citizens' safety by providing professional, timely and effec- tive service." Paraphrasing official docu- ments, he added: "Our mission is to provide the same service and extend to people the same treatment we would expect our own family to receive from the sheriffs office." DURING THIS same meet- ing on Tuesday, February 6, Tahuya resident Bev Wendell asked the commissioners to take a close look at the sheriffs bud- get. He said the county's north end needs more police presence, since he sometimes finds himself performing flagging duties at the scene of vehicle collisions when sheriffs deputies are delayed in responding. "We are working with the sheriff on that; it's a very coop- erative process," Commissioner Lynda Ring-Erickson said. Sewer plan for Belfair approved Plain and simple, the Belfair/ Lower Hood Canal Water Recla- mation Facilities Plan - or Bel- fair Facility Plan - gained ap- proval from the Mason County Commission. After receiving lengthy tes- timony on this issue during a public hearing on January 23, the commissioners continued the hearing until February 6 and then voted unanimously to approve the plan. At the hearing, the board had been presented with the option to also establish a Limited Area of More Intensive Rural Devel- opment - or LAMIRD - along the North Shore/Hood Canal area and possibly extend sewer service to that area as well. Fol- lowing deliberation, the board agreed that a LAMIRD would be too complicated right now. "I'm reluctant to create a lo- cal area of more intense rural development at this time," Com- missioner Tim Sheldon said pri- or to the vote. "It would just be asking way too much." He explained that the county has already secured approxi- mately $16 million in grant funding from the state but still needs $9 million in urban growth funds before work can begin on the project as it is. Commission- ers recently met with two state legislators and Governor Chris- tine Gregoire, seeking addition- al funds for the Belfair Facility Plan. Sheldon was also concerned about potential impacts to Bel- fair State Park if a LAMIRD is formed, though it might open some other opportunities for the county. He said he thinks the county's emphasis should stay on the Belfair Urban Growth Area, instead of sewering other areas. Commissioner Ross Gal- lagher agreed. "We need the money right now on the UGA," Gallagher said. Commissioner Lynda Ring- Erickson said she does favor the idea of a LAMIRD because of the potential it could offer for receiving funding for other cre- ative sewering alternatives.
