County prepares former
Olsen Furniture building to
house COVID-19 homeless
Commission awards

The Board of Mason County Com-
missioners on Tuesday awarded a
contract to Cogent Construction to
repair the leaking roof on Building
10 —- formerly the home of Olsen Fur-
niture — to prepare the building to
possibly house homeless people who
have the coronavirus. The effort is
part of the Mason County Health
Department’s COVID—19 Expanded
Sheltering Plan.
A draft of the plan, updated April
7, calls for accommodating up to
80 people in the building at 414 W.
Franklin St.
In awarding the $213,702 con-
tract, the commission used a county
resolution allowing it “to enter into
contracts without regard to time-
consuming procedures and formali-
ties prescribed by law.” In its report
to the commissioners, the county fa-
cilities department stated it solicited
A—l Roofing and Fikes Roofing for
bids, but didn’t receive responses. As-
cend Roofing and Roof Doctor did not
submit bids, the department stated.
The county received bids from Bates
Roofing and Cogent.
In the Expanded Sheltering Plan,
“assumptions” include the coronavi-
rus affecting unsheltered people and
there will be a need for additional
housing for them.
“.Without housing for self-isolation,
this population poses a greater risk
for serious illness and spreading that
illness to others in the community,”
the plan states.
At Tuesday’s meeting, the commis-
sioners also approved a donation of
$50,000 to the Community Founda-
tion of South Puget Sound.
The commission set a public meet-
ing for 9:15 am. May 19 to amend the
2020 Annual Construction Program
and 6—Year Transportation Improve-
ment Program.

burglary, assault and unlawful posses-
sion of a firearm.
According to the Shelton Police
Department, officers were dispatched
about 3:20 pm. Friday to the 400 block-
of Park Street where a man with a rifle
was reportedly having a dispute With
_another man. When the officers ar—
rived at the location, they reportedly
saw two men involved in an argument

taining and arresting one of the men, a

tal. The officer was treated for avdislo-
cated knee and is recovering at home,

men forced his way into the other
man’s residence, pointed a shotgun at

small baseball bat. The argument re-
portedly moved outside, and witnesses
began calling 911,. Officers recovered
the shotgun and the baseball bat used
_in the alleged assault during a search.
