Mason County commissioners voted Oct. 28 to approve the meeting’s action agenda covering warrants, interlocal agreements, park-host contracts, public hearings and several contract amendments, while removing item 8.16 (purchase of a Hart Intercivic Verity Vanguard voting system) for separate discussion.

The action agenda included approval of warrants and electronic remittance claims listed as warrants number 8116298 through 8116609 for $1,881,254.47, direct deposit warrants 120587 through 120994 for $964,156.47, and salary clearing warrants 7009238 through 7009263 for $621,912.56. Commissioners also approved an interlocal agreement for Pacific Mountain Workforce Region Workforce Investment Act implementation and a resolution to set utility-rate/fee schedules for several county water and sewer systems for calendar years 2026–2030.

Other approved items included park-host contracts for Mason Lake Park and Oakland Bay Historical Park for terms of Jan. 1, 2026, through Dec. 31, 2028; an amendment allowing the county administrator to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Mason County Historical Society for cargo storage through Dec. 31, 2026; and various public-hearing dates including Nov. 25, 2025 at 9:15 a.m. and Dec. 1, 2025 at 9 a.m. for certification of levy amounts and for the 2026 budget adoption schedule.

The commission also approved amendments to existing contracts, including extending the Mason County conservation-district agreement to June 30, 2027, and increasing the inmate-food-services contract rate by 3.9% while extending it to Feb. 1, 2026. A resolution amending public-works road-department policies was approved, and hearing dates were set to consider a road vacation and Lake Management District rate objections.

The motion to approve the action agenda (with 8.16 removed) carried without recorded opposition. Commissioners did not take separate votes on the individual items read into the record during the action-agenda motion; these items were adopted as part of the consent bundle.
