The water also damages electrical systems, especially on- board computers. Consumers are advised to look for such signs of water damage as sand or rust un- der trunk mats or in fender wells and enlist the help of profession- als.

Dispatch center getting more funds in new year By JEFF GREEN Starting with the New Year, thd local sales tax in Mason County increases by 1/10th of I percent. Funds generated by the tax increase will go to improve and enhance the emergency 911 com- munications system. "We do not have an emergency repair and replacement fund," Shelton Police Chief Terry Daven- port said of the 911 system that is operated out of the police depart- ment's communications division. The additional sales tax will help establish a savings account and won't put the burden on users, he added. "The people of Mason County really stepped up to the plate. It gives us a permanent, solid fund- ing source," Davenport said. The increase will generate an estimat- ed $560,000 a year, depending on sales in the county. "THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY hap- py that passed," said Mike Aiken, director of the police department's communications division. Funds can be used for facilities, equip- ment, operations and salaries of dispatchers, he said, adding offi- cials hope they can use the funds to relieve the amount of overtime pay by staffing the communica- tions center properly. "Everyone recognizes the pub- lic's response to this was very strong," Aiken said of the sales- tax increase, which got nearly 70- percent voter approval at the polls in November. Technology has been moving faster than the economy and the communications center has con- stantly been upgrading its equip- ment, Davenport said. The fund- ing for those upgrades has come from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Summer visitors have been a drain on emergency services, but weren't paying for them, the police chief said, adding that the sales tax increase makes it fair for everyone, permanent residents and transient residents alike. FUNDS GENERATED by the additional sales tax will go into a special fund within Mason County government and can be used only for 911 services, Davenport em- phasized. A nine-member Communications Advisory has been established to the funding.
