Meeting Highlights:
Pete Palmer, Planning Director, describes a thorny problem concerning a lot that was divided in half when the owner died, leaving one half to each of her two children, but the lot never went through the county’s subdivision process. Now one of the children wants to sell her property but can’t. The commissioners are stumped by this problem and refer Palmer to the county attorney.
Roni Holder-Diefenbach, Executive Director of the Economic Alliance, and the commissioners discuss various infrastructure projects for RHD’s upcoming meeting with a federal interagency funding group, wanting to know funding priorities for affordable housing in the county.
Commissioners meet in executive session with Esther Milner, Chief Civil Deputy Prosecutor and Shelley Keitzman, Human Resources and Risk Management, for 15 minutes under RCW 42.30.110(1)(i)—on going litigation.
Meeting adjourns for the day at 12:05.
