Carmen De Leon told the council the county’s golf course has had the same management for 20 years and \"ain't been managing to produce a single nickel.\" She urged the council to consider changing management and to use work crews for maintenance, and to scrutinize executive salaries. De Leon also urged redirecting opioid-related funds to people in county jails, saying the county has a drug problem in its correctional facilities and that jail time would be a cheaper remedy than long-term treatment in her view. \"People gotta have common sense here,\" she said.

An online caller who identified herself as Kimberly, a Clark County resident, echoed opposition to certain regional transit projects and criticized local government size and spending. Kimberly said Astound and other topics were discussed at past meetings and raised concerns about the county election building and its staff size, mentioning a person named Greg Kimsey as receiving \"way too much money.\" She also said she supports keeping Tri-Mountain golf course and said her son was incarcerated; she said she opposes private ownership of jails and prefers accountability under the sheriff.

These remarks were offered during the public-comment period; the council did not take substantive action in response during the Jan. 29 meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","1 29 25 Council Time","oneSentenceSummary","Two public commenters at the Jan. 29 council meeting urged action on Tri-Mountain golf course management, questioned use of opioid-related funds, criticized perceived government bloat and opposed private management of jails.","taxTitle","Clark County, Washington","taxId",2766,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6357329,"DNR will not pause ‘Dabbler’ timber sale; Clark County to request state presentation on old-growth policy",308,1020000,1328000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2215220-ccd2c53ca1590aee1e87550e16722ef1&start=1020&end=1328","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2215220-ccd2c53ca1590aee1e87550e16722ef1/thumbnail_1020000.jpg","/articles/6357329/Clark-County/Washington/DNR-will-not-pause-Dabbler-timber-sale-Clark-County-to-request-state-presentation-on-old-growth-policy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6357329-45d2b25c20ce56cac900d7fa6cf5e870/orig.mp4?Expires=1773752048&Signature=RYjPsiwd1~-dx6Hf0f9a5XuAYKev8DJ7JhQML-Vte3NcG3m~DrRallsH5XtGqaohTd~Tcq7nHhSYaUNXiCRJygGPzG0g~Z1zCJIHdW-n8P7IkdEBpzepK9ZEzZPDw5~Qu8jrNl2YVmgPnZgCgBgdasS62C3cTeYXsjirSMSg-~bVbm4UkL4fYTMaRNI8HWFXR8JUNikvn0MU11KFAb~N3ByIwuFpD1aXAknOakgAz9h5n4MttUaHwYFwOlieom--l0rwR1TLeqewoN4DratZWc1DNaAHJWFnE4w8r8RfTH49sR8YoNNXmb002TEELvQfqf9GVjpeCSdT7O9YjFni-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jordan Bogie reported Jan. 29 that the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) returned the county’s inquiry and indicated the Dabbler timber sale is not paused. Bogie said she is aware of ongoing litigation related to the sale but that the county lacks authority to stop state trust land sales.

Several councilors asked staff to continue to pursue a presentation from DNR explaining how the agency manages state trust lands, including older-growth forests and how decisions affect junior taxing districts. Bogie said she would continue to schedule DNR staff for a council presentation and offered to circulate notes and screenshots taken from a prior DNR presentation until a full DNR briefing could be scheduled for the full council.

Council members emphasized that the timber sale was a loss to the community and asked staff to keep the council apprised of litigation developments. No formal county action to block the sale was taken; staff said the county may have opportunities to engage further if litigation proceeds.","County staff reported the Department of Natural Resources will proceed with the Dabbler timber sale as scheduled.

Bogie said the county could face about $3.5 million less per year — roughly $7 million over the next biennium — compared with amounts received in recent years, and that the county had been advised to plan for a potential additional 20% reduction (about $2.4 million) under a worst-case scenario.

Bogie asked whether the council would support a letter to the county’s legislative delegation requesting that the state backfill the shortfall and avoid additional cuts. Councilors signaled support; the chair recorded thumbs-up consensus and asked staff to prepare the letter, as the transcript records.

Bogie said the state previously has backfilled similar shortfalls caused by reduced recording volume. The council asked staff to coordinate with other jurisdictions and legislative partners; councilors also asked staff to circulate the information to broader local partners to encourage shared advocacy.

No formal ordinance or appropriation was adopted at the Jan. 29 meeting; the action was a direction to draft and send a letter seeking state backfill and opposing additional cuts.","County staff warned of a potential $3.5 million annual shortfall in document-recording fee revenue for homeless services; the council supported drafting a letter asking the legislative delegation to fully fund the gap and avoid further cuts.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6357338,"Council backs letter supporting Astound Broadband, NOA Net for federal broadband grant",240,880000,1120000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2215220-ccd2c53ca1590aee1e87550e16722ef1&start=880&end=1120","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2215220-ccd2c53ca1590aee1e87550e16722ef1/thumbnail_880000.jpg","/articles/6357338/Clark-County/Washington/Council-backs-letter-supporting-Astound-Broadband-NOA-Net-for-federal-broadband-grant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6357338-e722e6727c13b6f81fae44b94533ba4e/orig.mp4?Expires=1773752048&Signature=Qcyo7-yIgAEqPi2kx835PvnIbQX9ljGdKIY~gQybcEKWsnUCZmCi75eAn7p9AiI7CwdERxbM9vM~4xtldEuRXI20sfPRZXy47SGee~1t0c~7aFKe8uNafCqPPEtFVd95sJJ7TQ-Tf0bSnW1KCuMVIVRl~btXdOwJwYmh~tiGbpZoTB~kmU3quavfvr7aiT3YGtOo61iMj~FE-pdLKVm6SmiEF0iiX2CBc-f2pkbCalqEsbuZhOk7ttUyrs30bezlGw50z0O-nkwdYB3TYmOFZrlB3xI0xUPvqp5OefObA7VLLALAf~SNIqjBUl5BatY1BQKXV~Z0dPw0oD4ch4MLtg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jordan Bogie, senior policy analyst for Clark County, told the council Jan. 29 that an internet service provider has requested a letter of support for a federal Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) grant application covering four project areas in north and northeast Clark County.

Bogie said the applicant, Astound Broadband, is partnering with NOA Net and that the county has existing Astound service in parts of Vancouver and Ridgefield. Bogie asked whether the council would provide a thumbs-up for a letter supporting the applications. Councilors answered with a thumbs-up, with the meeting record noting five council thumbs-ups.

Bogie said the support letter would signal local backing for state department of commerce funding to deploy fiber “to the un- and underserved areas” in the county. The council did not take a formal roll-call vote; staff recorded the consensus thumbs-up and will prepare and send the letter of support to the applicant and the state as requested.","Clark County Council gave staff a thumbs up to send a letter of support for Astound Broadband’s application with NOA Net seeking Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment funding for four project areas in the county.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6357343,"Clark County Council picks six applicants for Planning Commission interviews",418,2034000,2452000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2215220-ccd2c53ca1590aee1e87550e16722ef1&start=2034&end=2452","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2215220-ccd2c53ca1590aee1e87550e16722ef1/thumbnail_2034000.jpg","/articles/6357343/Clark-County/Washington/Clark-County-Council-picks-six-applicants-for-Planning-Commission-interviews","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6357343-6d045be618e0638a2cdfd98e4175a4b7/orig.mp4?Expires=1773752048&Signature=lJhQ0cVATKS60WXdUVbBKhoAy~lpBngpNG4tKXJC5PRY03Bw5z~W7zUb8gYYNNuS4~mNlo-4xFium5lxmXFzyWKLyiaJ4H91rCi-Nj9kwx3G3souAtsYj3ZqHU8u~PWQ~otb2R~B3ddMghnohjeQ1o3Ac8OIrEyAfTZr~nQVvtiKCaOad30hvRddh98SkXRASpJhk~F2F6GV8IwVvliznKdeK3MbHP8Paw4XIYeItI0CJLOEXLJNSwyeMSMH7G4JMId4zgb2E2Iz6CYDewKZcRLy7CehM2V4cl2AB0ObVDOBGswGNeZgl6kfAw~~0tUDwUxLogicV2Roesa58dISbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clark County Council on Jan. 29 voted to advance six applicants to interviews for one opening on the Planning Commission and approved minutes from Nov. 13, 2024, and Jan. 22, 2025.

Chair Marshall entertained motions to nominate applicants for interview; councilors moved and seconded a series of nominations and then voted by voice on each candidate. The nominees advanced for interview were Ron Barca; Lily Padilla; David Kornyanko; Don Stankey; Dominic (last name not specified in the record); and Kyle Fadnis.

Councilors moved and seconded each nomination in turn. Where the transcript recorded vote tallies, the council recorded a 3–2 vote to advance David Kornyanko; a 4–1 vote to advance Don Stankey; and unanimous approvals or voice ayes for the other nominees. After the sixth nomination, a motion to close nominations carried unanimously.

Separately, the council moved to approve the minutes of Nov. 13, 2024, and Jan. 22, 2025. The motion was moved, seconded and the chair declared the motion carried.

The council directed staff to notify the six applicants that they will be scheduled for interviews. No formal appointment was made at the Jan. 29 meeting; the action was limited to advancing applicants to the interview stage.","After an executive session, the Clark County Council voted to advance six applicants to interview for one open seat on the Planning Commission and approved minutes from prior meetings.","actionData","errors"]
