other volunteers who helped

City commission roundup:
e Shelton
Shelton is going to be the sub- cently include Travaglione s bud et review sessions Tuesday
ject of a promotional video to be Homemade Ravioli; Spots and and Wednesday, October 5 and 6,
used by local organizations to
promote tourism and attract busi-
nesses to relocate here, Shelton
city commissioners learned Mon-
day.
In her quarterly report to the
commission about the activities of
the Olde Towne Shelton Associa-
tion, Debbie Webber, director of
the association, reported the vid-
eo will be made by a new down-
town firm, O.D. Unlimited, a vid-
eo production business.
Webber told The Journal the
video will be 10-12 minutes in
length and will showcase Shelton.
OTSA will receive 1,000 copies of
the promotional video, and Web-
ber said she's hoping copies will
be ready to be sent out by next
spring. The video project is a co-
operative venture involving
OTSA, the Shelton-Mason County
Chamber of Commerce and the
Economic Development Council of
Mason County.
Commissioners approved a
$7,000 allocation to OTSA for the
video project. The money comes
from the city's hotel-motel tax
fund. Allocations from the fund
are to be used expressly for tour-
ist promotion.
Besides O.D. Unlimited, other
new firms to locate downtown re-
Dots, a used clothing store, and
Steven's Fine Dining, Webber
said. In addition, Olde Towne
Hobby, a toy and hobby store
which also will offer classes for
hobbyists, plans to open Novem-
ber 2 in the 1912 Building.
IN OTHER city business, com-
missioners:
Approved a resolution that
calls for the city to strive to build
a cash reserve fund equal to three
months' operating expenses in
each of its operating funds and to
limit the funding of non-city
agencies to no more than 1.5 per-
cent of the annual estimate of re-
ceipts from property taxes, sales
taxes and others. That limit will
not apply to hotel-motel tax
funds.
Additionally, the resolution
calls for the city to "whenever eco-
nomically appropriate and feasi-
ble" give its employees annual
cost of living salary increases.
The increases, if any, will be
based on the annual June 30 Con-
sumer Price Index for all urban
consumers. The increases would
be for non-union employees, since
the city's union contracts have
cost-of-living agreements in them.
Heard Mayor Scott ttilburn
announce the city is holding
at city hall. The sessions will
start at 9 a.m. and run through-
out both days. The public is web
come to attend, he added.
* AUTHORIZED Hilburn to
sign an agreement with Mason
Transit for $19,300 in federal
grant funds to be used for a
design study at David Shelton's
Pear Orchard, a 2.8-acre parcel
owned by the city between the
downtown Lumbermen's store
and the abandoned city sewage
treatment plant on State Route 3.
The city envisions development
of its waterfront access corridor
with a pedestrian path enabling
residents to walk and bicycle from
their homes to the waterfront and
historic sites. The city will con-
tract with landscape architect
Robert Droll of Lacey for the
design study.
Approved the allocation of
$2,500 to the Yesteryear Car Club
for tourism promotion.
Heard from Commissioner
Janet Thornbrue that Develop-
ment Services Director Gary
Rhoades has been appointed by
Governor Gary Locke to serve on
the state's Public Works Board
for four years. Rhoades will help
review Public Works Fund grant
applications.
