City commission roundup:
Milner recognized for
work at Mason Transit
Scott Milner has been named Employ-
ee of the Quarter at Mason Transit. He
joined the transportation authority in
2006 after a 21-year career as an aircraft
mechanic that had him stationed around
the world and a shorter period of service
as a medical assistant.
He is now working as a bus driver and
was recognized by Mason Transit for
his cheerful disposition and readiness
to help others. "I love this job," he said.
"I just love this job. I can't imagine ever
leaving it."
Milner gives a lot of credit for his suc-
cess to the dispatchers, mechanics and
other drivers he works with, telling sto-
ry after story about how their support is Scott Milner
fabulous and how it takes a team to do a
good job. He said he feels like a partner with every dispatcher and
has high praise for the way the drivers help each other, as well as
the skill and commitment of the maintenance personnel.
"To top it all off, our customers really appreciate what you do for
them," he said. "You can't imagine how wonderful it is to have at
least 100 people a week say, 'Thank you.'"
Firm picked for dirty jo
As expected, Shelton city com-
missioners Monday approved a
contract for removing soil con-
taminated by gasoline at First and
Franklin streets.
The contract with NRC Envi-
ronmental Services of Seattle is
not to exceed $150,798.76, and the
work was slated to have begun on
Wednesday and take |bur to seven
working days to complete.
The actual amount the city will
pay should be less than the above
figure. That's because the scope of
work originally was to include the
removal of 1,800 tons of soil from
the intersection. The city, howev-
er, scaled that work back because
of budget issues to include only
cleanup within sewer trenches in
that area related to the Basin 2
sewer project.
In other business Monday, the
commissioners:
• Authorized Mayor John Tar-
rant to sign a contract with Pape
and Sons Construction for the bid
amount of $3,808,595.85, includ-
ing tax, for construction of" the wa-
ter and reclaimed water pipelines
Hearing set on Brinnon resort
fi'om a satellite treatment plant
near the Mason County Fair-
grounds to the Washington State
Patrol Academy and Washington
Corrections Center.
The work is part of the Shelton
Area Regional Water and Sewer
Project. Shelton's share of the
construction costs is $916,911.07,
with the balance to be paid by the
Washington Department of Cor-
rections and Washington State
Patrol.
• Approved a resolution calling
ibr interfund loans for the city's
street and regional sewer funds,
which need additional money to
end the year with a positive cash
balance.
The Street Fund will receive
a loan of $725,000 from the Gen-
eral Fund, while the Regional
Sewer Fund will receive a loan of
$185,000 fl'om the Sewer Fund.
The latter loan was needed be-
cause of lags between when the
city bills the regional partners and
when it receives reimbursement
from them and between billing tbr
costs covered by grants and receiv-
ing reimbursement.
