Courtesy graphic Annex: Unanimous vote continued from page originally brought to the council March 21, unanimously passing to be put on Tuesday’s action agenda for fi- nal approval. “I remember when that used to be all trees up on that property, that big piece of property, all over Mountain View,” councilmember Kathy McDow- ell said. “Cross country used to run through the trees in their cross coun- try meets. It’s exciting to see progress and building tops and more property that we can use.” Mayor Eric Onisko echoed the com- ments, stating “we definitely need houses near here.” Now that the council has approved the request for annexation, the next steps include the applicant formally submitting a petition for annexation in the area to the city. The county as- sessor will determine sufficiency and authenticity of the 60% petition, a for- mal public notice Will be issued and a public hearing held regarding the annexation. Also, the council will con- sider an ordinance for approval or de- nial of the annexation of all or any por- tion of the proposed area only included in the petition. Annexation would be effective on the date of the ordinance. The City Council gave preliminary ap- proval to sell surplus land on North 13th Street in Shelton to Mason County Pub- lic Hospital District No. 1 for $800,000. The money from the sale would be paid to the city water utility fund. The property is 7.32 acres and is across the street from Mason Health and Mason General Hospital. The property was declared surplus in Oc- tober 2021. The purchase and sale agreement retains~utility, trail and conservation easements on the proper— ty, so any development on the property would have to upheld those easements. Interim City Manager Mark Ziegler briefed the City Council on the agree— ment, stating the hospital district has some interest in maintaining a campus at that location and providing critical health facilities within the campus. Updates: Mini—Dome court continued from page Current projects include refinishing and sealing the entry columns at Moun— tainview Elementary School this week during spring break, and the district’s Enrollment and Boundary Committee continuing is reports and findings this summer. Herron also updated the school board on the construction and maintenance projects slated for this summer. The special education portables at Shelton High School will be re-sided. “They are desperately in need of that,” Herron said. Leaks will be repaired on the roof of the school’s Building 800. The district will fulfill a request by the Shelton Fire Department to widen the gates and sidewalk at the west exit of Mountanview Elementary School, Herron said. The water will be tested for lead, copper and other contaminants districtwide, a study conducted every two years, he said. Other summer projects include repairing and painting fascia boards and expanding joint gaps at Highclimber Stadium; repairing and replacing parts of the sidewalk and replacing three or four windows at Oakland Bay Junior High; a “final touchup of the plaster” at the swimming pool at Shelton High School; and seeding the grassy play area and replacing flooring in a student bath— room at Evergreen Elementary. Looking beyond this summer, Her- ron said the district should consider projects that include reroofing the Shel- ton High School Performing Arts Cen— ter; painting and re-siding the older portables in the district; replacing the boilers ai Olympic Middle School, Bor- deaux Elementary and the high school pool; and reroofing the Early Learning Center. The basketball court wood floor in the Shelton High School Mini—Dome needs to be replaced, and the current price is about $650,000, Herron said. In the meantime, it will be refin- ished, he said.
