Port approves contrac:t wi :h :orlstruction company By NATALIE JOHNSON New construction at the Mason County PUD 3 Johns Prairie op- erations center site has brought construction jobs to the area, and now, has brought money to the Port of Shelton as well. The Port of Shelton commis- sioners approved a contract with Rushforth Construction to rent a port owned building during their meeting on Tuesday. Rushforth is the contractor in charge of the construction of the PUD 3&apos;s Johns Prairie Operations Center. "To make a long story short, this is a contract with a company called Rushforth Construction ... they are looking for a facility to house their steel," port executive director John Dobson said. The commission only reviewed the contract, Dobson said, be- cause it fell outside his authority to approve it. "The rent would be a little over $7,000 per month and my limita- tions are at $2,000 per month," Dobson said. Rushforth plans to rent the space for at least two months, but could stay longer if they continue to have local projects, Dobson said. "Sounds pretty good to me," commissioner Tom Wallitner said. Several members of the public in attendance commented on the lack of description in the agenda item, which simply read, "con- tract ratification." Members of the public, includ- ing Tom Davis and Roslynne Reed suggested that the commissioners should consider making all agen- da items more descriptive, to give members of the public an idea of what would actually happen dur- ing a commission meeting. Commissioner Jay Hupp stat- ed that port agendas usually only contain a brief title for each piece of business to discuss, and often, commissioners don't even know exactly what they will be review- ing in the meeting. "It's not uncommon at all to not know the details," Hupp said. Clarifcation According to Port of Shelton commis- sioner Jack Miles and his attorney, John Bonin, there are several clarifications that need to be made to last week's arti- cle, "Miles' harassment claim dismissed." The article states that Miles' harass- ment complaint against port executive director John Dobson was dismissed by the judge without prejudice, which is ac- curate, however, Miles said that it does not tell the whole story. "When we first went into court there were some things that I was wanting in order to drop the anti harassment com- plaint," Miles said. "John's (Dobson) at- torney agreed to that." Miles said that the two parties met in the hallway prior to the district court hearing and agreed on the conditions on which Miles would drop the complaint. "I said I would like a few things to be spelled out, he is not to be alone with me in the office, we can communicate by email only if it's port business and if we have to meet a third party has to be present," Miles said. "We told the judge we had an agreement and the judge dis- missed it without prejudice." tinental Alpine Way 8:3 0 a.,'" Thursday, February 24, 2011 Presents Grief and Loss By Barb Digman Barb is a Bereavement Counselor with Providence Sound-HomeCare and Hospice.
