Meeting Highlights:
About a dozen people attend the meeting to make public comments. They would like the commissioners’ Zone Code public hearing, scheduled for Monday, Dec. 2 at 5:00 PM, moved to a different date and time. They suggest March 25. They are also unhappy with the change to a minimum lot size of 160 acres in the Tunk Vally that the commissioners made in 2023. The one-hour exchange between the commenters and the commissioners is sometimes contentious. The commissioners do not reschedule the meeting.
The commissioners hold budget study sessions for two budgets involving the Homeless Housing Coalition.
The commissioners review the Economic Alliance’s 2024 project prioritization list.
In the afternoon, the commissioners hold a public hearing to discuss proposed procedural amendments to the Okanogan County Code.
Meeting adjourned at 2:07
