Lawrence recited consent items that will appear on the formal agenda, including minutes from Jan. 21 and Jan. 23; settlement resolutions (Resolution 26, 2025, settlement of claim No. 57-2024 by Manuel Morin; Resolution 27, 2025, settlement of claim No. 58-2024 by Progressive Direct Insurance Company); an agreement with Looking Glass Analytics Inc. for a web-based data query and automated reporting system; and multiple 2025–2026 collective bargaining agreements with Teamsters Local Union No. 760 covering county clerk supervisory employees, corrections office and bridal supervisors, information technology services, and public services road department employees.

Human Services items included Resolution 28, 2025 adopting a 2025 pay plan and employer medical contribution for certain elected officials; Resolution 29, 2025 conditionally awarding Yakima County Home and Home ARP funds for multifamily housing; and several contract modifications to increase year-1 funding for emergency shelter and outreach providers (modifications to Grace City Outreach, Northwest Community Action Center, Rod's House, Union Gospel Mission). The board also has a 2025 mental health sales tax contract with Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences to develop a behavioral health occupational therapy program and a mental health sales tax contract with the Yakima County Sheriff's Office for procurement of a crisis response vehicle for the crisis negotiations team.

Public Services items included Resolution 30, 2025 adopting the public participation plan for the Horizon 2040 update, and Resolution 31, 2025 approving findings of fact in support of the extension of a zoning moratorium on moderate- to large-scale solar facilities in unincorporated Yakima County. Public works and grants items include a hazard mitigation grant agreement with the Washington Military Department for the Shaw and White Hollow Creeks flood control project (Agreement 47, 2025); an agreement with Geosyntec Consultants, doing business as Aspect Consulting LLC, for services on a county cost reimbursement plan; and Agreement 49, 2025, a construction funding agreement with the Public Works Board for construction of a greenhouse gas collection and control system at the Shane Landfill.

Commissioner McKinney and Commissioner Curtis both indicated they had no items to remove from the presented agenda during the work session. Lawrence concluded, \"And that is Tuesday's agenda.\" The board did not take formal votes on the listed consent items during this work session; they were presented for review ahead of the formal meeting where actions may be taken.

The work session closed with Commissioner McKinney moving to adjourn, a second from Commissioner Curtis, and the board adjourning by unanimous \"aye.\" Commissioner Linde was excused from the work session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Yakima County 1.30.25 BOCC Work Session","oneSentenceSummary","At a Jan. 30, 2025 Yakima County Board of Commissioners work session, Clerk of the Board Julie Lawrence reviewed the consent items proposed for the board's upcoming Tuesday meeting, naming labor agreements, housing ARP awards, shelter contract increases, a hazard mitigation grant and landfill greenhouse-gas construction funding.","taxTitle","Yakima County, Washington","taxId",12680,"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},6356621,"Yakima County commissioners authorize staff to advance Sprint Boat Racing MOU with Fair Association",48,374100,422810,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2216246-db08929fc07696394c16f463e604e1a9&start=374&end=422","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2216246-db08929fc07696394c16f463e604e1a9/thumbnail_374100.jpg","/articles/6356621/Yakima-County/Washington/Yakima-County-commissioners-authorize-staff-to-advance-Sprint-Boat-Racing-MOU-with-Fair-Association","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6356621-a8a2c1d1f876995427bf5e6c7c655452/orig.mp4?Expires=1775395628&Signature=GAmkgqh5BepRg176gCBwK4~noyVLKlEXPBB6RHgYXmlfbwvPAmdq25b4k4PBUT3UFpajiQgSrAld0B1exxGf9PJxSku1WZwkLXWuJ9H1S5i5WYKjuSF9N9IkZB0uM1H-y5Q98MC8-jCP9WAenIHPz1pA2QZWJYN3J03xW8EK-rKZ8ii7Gy59Rl1p-zB5Jhi7AxjPAHpWlgDvxmag3KJQtI8y3KDdEdp47eTFgDIEGE3fb61jF4TQHgRFw8L9tf~x5V~4C~Nl-lcpCZtHVzdI-51XK1Xyq6HEJZUjlgXXvc4cIK~poFWiUwggpOW7GBw3TC2alclq1E3IrQKgTUw3MA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a Jan. 30, 2025 Yakima County Board of Commissioners work session, Commissioner Curtis said he would move forward with legal staff to share a 2025 memorandum of understanding related to the Sprint Boat Racing Project with the Fair Association and continue discussions, and Commissioner McKinney said he reviewed the document and strongly supported that step.

The item arose during the board's commissioner updates. Commissioner Curtis asked whether Commissioner McKinney had “a chance to look over that 2025 memorandum of understanding relating to the Sprint Boat Racing Project” and sought consensus to share the document with the Fair Association and continue discussions alongside legal counsel. Commissioner McKinney replied, “I have reviewed it, and I do have strong support for your continuing to do so.”

The exchange produced a direction rather than a formal motion: Curtis said he would \"go ahead and move forward alongside legal and reach out to the Fair Association on this MOU, and then, from there bring it back to the board for further consideration.\" The board did not take a formal vote on the MOU during the work session; Curtis signaled the item will return to the board for later consideration after further discussions.

No additional details about the MOU's terms, funding, timeline, or the proposed event site were discussed in the recorded work session. The board did not adopt or approve the MOU at this meeting; the action recorded is a staff/commissioner direction to share the document with the Fair Association and continue negotiations with legal support.

The board's next formal consideration of the Sprint Boat Racing Project MOU will occur when the item is placed on a future meeting agenda.","At a Jan. 30 work session, Commissioners Curtis and McKinney agreed to advance a 2025 memorandum of understanding related to the Sprint Boat Racing Project by sharing it with the Fair Association and continuing talks alongside county legal counsel; no formal vote was taken.","actionData","errors"]
