She spoke to the high theft rate around Lake Cushman and Mason County in general. 5.4 Scott Johnson, Sheriff from Pacific County spoke about cuts within the region. He noted that every office is understaffed with minimal resources adding that resources are shared between counties, so a cut would not only affect Mason County, but neighboring counties as well. 5.5 John Snaza, Thurston County Sheriff, spoke to the accountability of the sheriff's office in their budgeting. He stated that the Board is deciding that the citizens don't deserve public safety, and putting a price on lives. 5.6 Dean Seacor talked about the officers that work daily and the danger they may face if cuts are made. He said that officers need backup in dangerous situations. He asked that the Board make cuts to other departments before cutting the Sheriff's office. 5.7 Matt Wood spoke to Cmmr. Neatherlin about campaign signs in support of the Sheriff's office. He said that the signs are not consistent with the message he gave at the July 10, 2017 briefings. Cmmr.

He said that the Sheriff's office has a $14 million budget and the numbers put out by their department are incorrect. Cmmr. Neatherlin added that if the open positions in the Sheriff's department were not filled that counts for over $500,000, and suggested that the department has a high number of chiefs which is higher than other counties. 5.8 Tom Davis gave some statistics regarding crime rates in Mason County. He said there is significantly less crime today than in the past which can be attributed to the Sheriff's department and the programs created by the Veterans Association and Therapeutic Courts. Tom praised the Sheriff's department for their support with the veterans.
