County commission roundup:
Motorist takes issue
00ith road conditions
Extremely icy road conditions
have driven Pei Komsak to file a
claim against Mason County. On
March 1, her vehicle rolled over on
the ice covering Arcadia Road near
her driveway. However, after she
filed the claim against the county
for failing to properly maintain the
road, Komsak said it was promptly
declined by Ione Siegler, the coun-
ty's risk manager.
Komsak talked about the situ-
ation at Tuesday's meeting of the
Mason County Commission. She
said she wrote to Siegler, as well
as Commissioner Ross Gallagher
on July 15 and 16, asking them to
review her claim, but received no
response. She also requested the
sanding and deicing log for the
morning of the accident.
"Mason County invoiced me
$1.80 for the information, which
probably cost Mason County more
than $1.80 to prepare," Komsak
said in a statement she read to the
commissioners during their meet-
ing.
"I have an implied contract with
Mason County. I pay the tax and
you maintain the roads, but this
was not done the early morning of
March 1," she added.
Komsak wanted an answer to
one question: Why were the roads
not sanded or deiced that particu-
lar morning, even though temper-
atures had dropped to below freez-
ing overnight? She also asked an-
other: "The sanding log indicates
the sanding was done during the
traffic hours instead of prior to the
traffic hours. Do you consider this
an effective method for maintain-
ing public safety?"
Commissioners Gallagher and
Lynda Ring-Erickson said they
would review her file and get back
to her as soon as possible.
Komsak wasn't the only con-
cerned Arcadia resident at the
commissioners' last meeting.
Wayne Olson of the Arcadia Point
neighborhood read and submitted
a written statement regarding his
many concerns about off-reserva-
tion lands owned by the Squaxin
Island Tribe in his area.
Mike Purvis also spoke before
the commissioners during this
I Illl
Marlene 'lhylor, CLU
.... AYLOR
same meeting. He expressed con-
cern about regulations he was re-
quired to comply with in order to
fulfill the permitting process for
work on a store in the county. He
said he's having trouble accessing
Mason County Fire Marshal Craig
Haugen to discuss these or any
other questions.
"I thought and I still think the
county works for us and it doesn't
really look like this department
works for us. It looks like that de-
partment actually works against
us," he remarked.
In other business on November
27 the commissioners:
Authorized a memorandum of
agreement between Mason County
and the Evergreen Forest County
Group in the amount of $7,500.
Amended the 2007-2008 Com-
prehensive Economic Development
Strategy Project list to add the
Oakland Bay Shellfish Protection
District and the Port of Shelton's
Johns Prairie Waterline Exten-
sion Project as priorities.
Authorized an interlocal
agreement with the City of Shel-
ton for the conversion of data from
the Geographic Information Sys-
tem.
Authorized a property ease-
ment requested by PUD 3 to pro-
vide power and communications
utilities for the new public works
facility on Highway 101.
Awarded a contract to Tozier
Brothers of Shelton to furnish the
Department of Utilities and Waste
Management with a new utility
tractor with backhoe and loader.
The cost is $31,920 including tax.
Awarded a contract to Seattle
Mack Sales & Service to furnish
the Public Works Department
with two new 2008 Mack cab and
chassis with 10/12 yard dump bod-
ies, plows and sanders. The two
trucks cost $362,087.54, including
trade-in allowance and tax.
Amended the county's contract
with the Washington Department
of Health in the amount of $44,889
to allow for additional work on
drinking water and beaches.
Authorized a total of $2,242.83
