The resident said the washout is “probably 3 miles from 4 Corners” between Camelot and Waters Road and described warning signage and a prohibition on large trucks. The resident asked whether the county could “coerce the state to get something done,” noting the route is a state highway.

The chair responded that the route is a state highway but agreed to ask county Public Works to check schedules and the likely scope of repairs. The chair indicated the problem might involve a culvert repair and that staff would attempt to determine the timeline for repairs and share that information with the public.

No formal motion or vote was taken; the exchange was recorded as public comment and staff follow-up.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Tuesday Public Meeting - 05.06.2025","oneSentenceSummary","A resident told the Cowlitz County Board of Commissioners about a multi-month washout on West Side Highway and urged the county to press the state for repairs; commissioners said they would ask Public Works to check the schedule and report back.","taxTitle","Cowlitz County, Washington","taxId",5122,"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},6250485,"Board approves consent agenda, including bids for delineators, interlocal agreements and road-material contracts",577,78445,655579,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3200724-d540ef39e1cbc145fdb9f915cac1715e&start=78&end=655","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3200724-d540ef39e1cbc145fdb9f915cac1715e/thumbnail_78445.jpg","/articles/6250485/Cowlitz-County/Washington/Board-approves-consent-agenda-including-bids-for-delineators-interlocal-agreements-and-road-material-contracts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6250485-5f8fb7efdeee50c16c1f139a17403dd9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771102063&Signature=R5-ydF8bCIqykMkjINIWvqoZjcJMEVOxcbsOwqPFGSYxStVVyQYJdnAuKgSUd7hlE6VS4n245UMqraVOG7gDF58mXsyttYNJ3m80HsbiYKV64ASuYt~0OmDZq8xgb8lZqBqf6Xu1-rojFeBMXzWLKzsaHQhWzI79yrJtQSrtnIZcJZw0jNq9IGCRK6UaZop31l8HfqB2RTQ9YcdNEU-~6flrytCxN3yu0yHz2ktYm0iykSGrzzgd~cuM6yoN6LulQh2wOhaSHBjS8jYXAZDuaHoy6JQOtUVZyHzRIMCMbzgcjmg5QI2oMEHBJ0RDUOjuwBqCZ2i86U8~-hTA5Cb9uw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cowlitz County Board of Commissioners approved its consent agenda during a regular Tuesday meeting, moving forward with several procurement and interlocal actions the county said are routine parts of road and emergency services operations.

Items approved included a call for bids for a countywide delineator project scheduled for June 9, 2025; commissioners said the project will use federal safety funds and estimated the work “probably [will be] in the neighborhood of a hundred and eighty plus thousand dollars.” The board also approved an expanded interlocal agreement with the city of Castle Rock to add floodplain management administration to existing permit services and renewed a five-year interlocal agreement with Metro to provide emergency landfill access options for two Metro transfer stations when Interstate 84 is impassable.

The board approved a data-sharing agreement between Cowlitz County Emergency Medical Service District No. 1 and the Washington State Auditor to permit sharing of confidential information for an audit, described by county staff as routine audit facilitation. Contracts for road-servicing materials were awarded to Gardner Rock Inc. and LROC Industries for the period beginning May 1, 2025, through February (year not specified in the meeting record). Vouchers presented totaled $988,009.47 and 28 cents, which were included in the consent vote.

Commissioners did not debate these items at length during the meeting; the board’s motion to approve the consent agenda passed on a voice vote.","The Cowlitz County Board of Commissioners approved a consent agenda that included a countywide delineator project expected to use federal safety funds, interlocal agreements with the city of Castle Rock and Metro, a data-sharing agreement for a state audit, and contracts for road materials.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6250489,"Cowlitz County commissioners approve proclamation recognizing National Police Week",513,118445,631839,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3200724-d540ef39e1cbc145fdb9f915cac1715e&start=118&end=631","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3200724-d540ef39e1cbc145fdb9f915cac1715e/thumbnail_118445.jpg","/articles/6250489/Cowlitz-County/Washington/Cowlitz-County-commissioners-approve-proclamation-recognizing-National-Police-Week","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6250489-39e4be284850e591eaa71b8342d77948/orig.mp4?Expires=1771102063&Signature=Qku7Qcnsy4GWUacK~P1hXJ~91WIgBHeuvcr3VpZpe584YJFuHBoDLRVnb2eEnEIuEHHpnzoTNLGORSzXTCY73q5wwCbLpGFkmGxZuyVCXT5ws~8R0ZME9FSRnPgsaY5UtsUEiIzsPoxnBZVmMlO7Gzf9N5VF4khCsOqT0kp3ApnBA2FJct8wepcaXUdAavzE8gYEPo04BypZklLqOwglkJ-zei-7ftIatoSzaTw1nOGCm5mQgg9EzvycB6cheYHTWeCVp1EPMAikWtL~b2ljmPhxxOz-k~AEL3gp~LKw44bqAfqBmV8jnnKqall~fJ5wJS7sA6jPtYAGOAkb0kCQVA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cowlitz County Board of Commissioners approved a proclamation observing National Police Week in Cowlitz County and acknowledged a candlelight vigil for fallen officers during their Tuesday meeting.

The proclamation, read during the board’s consent agenda, designates the week of May 11–17, 2025, as National Police Week locally and calls for flags to be flown at half-staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day, May 15. The board moved and voted to approve the proclamation during the meeting; the motion carried.

The chaplaincy joined the meeting to highlight the personal sacrifices of law enforcement. Tom Hahn, a chaplain, read a short reflection and led a prayer, saying in part, “Lord, I ask for courage, courage to face and conquer my own fears, courage to take me where others will not go.” He also listed local officers who have died in recent years and named the upcoming candlelight vigil on May 14 at Ari Long Park as part of National Police Week observances.

The proclamation text cited national figures and the names of officers engraved at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. Commissioners made no additional policy changes tied to the proclamation; the board’s action was the formal approval of the resolution recognizing National Police Week.

The board also noted the county’s plan to sign the proclamation and deliver copies to local law-enforcement officials and chaplaincy representatives.","The Cowlitz County Board of Commissioners approved a proclamation recognizing National Police Week and noted a candlelight vigil for fallen officers, following remarks by local chaplains and a prayer for law enforcement.","actionData","errors"]
