Meeting Highlights: 

  • Commissioner Neal tells the others about his trip to Olympia last week. The state has just sworn in new state-wide officials, and the state legislature opened its 2025 session.

  • Commissioners go into executive session for 20 minutes under RCW 42.30.110(i)—potential litigation, inviting Albert Lin, Prosecuting Attorney and Esther Milner, Chief Civil Deputy Prosecutor.

  • Pete Palmer, Planning Director, distributes the first draft of the revised Flood Plain Management Ordinance containing edits suggested by the state Department of Ecology. The commissioners will hold study sessions and hear suggestions from the Planning Commission before voting on the proposed changes.

  • Tim Meadows, Maintenance Supervisor, tells the commissioners that the county has been overbilled for a Sunbelt temporary heat pump in the jail. They’ve been paying for a full year when the original agreement was to pay only for the months it was being used.

  • The commissioners have a long discussion with Chad from DIVCO, an HVAC contractor, about the cooling system in the county jail. It doesn’t work property and there is no clear idea about how to fix it.

  • Meeting adjourned at 11:42.
