The ER&R Division has responsibility for purchasing and maintaining county vehicles and equipment. This includes Sheriff's Department vehicles, the three County Road area shops' vehicles/equipment, and all the pool cars.

In addition to maintaining vehicles, the shop contains a body and paint area for repairs. Minor repairs of Public Works vehicles and equipment are completed in the shops located in Elma, Cosmopolis, and Copalis with heavy maintenance completed in the main shop in Montesano. The County has a current inventory of 78 vehicles and 63 pieces of equipment. Other equipment is rented on an as needed project basis. ER&R is staffed by a mechanic at each of the outlying shops and 3 mechanics at the main facility.

ER&R also includes the Communications Section. The purpose of this section is to provide a countywide radio communications system. This section is responsible for acquiring, installing, and maintaining all radio equipment for the County Sheriff's Department and Public Services Department. This section also maintains all communications equipment in the County Jail and the Juvenile Detention Facility.

In addition to these direct county functions, the Communications Section also provides maintenance and operates remote communication towers throughout the county and provides essential installation and maintenance services to other public agencies such as the County E-911 System and Grays Harbor Transit.

This system is essential to the public safety and is critical during all county emergencies.

It is staffed by three technicians.
