Procedural votes and notes

- Several closed-record hearings were held to consider the three conditional-use permits; the board confirmed no ex parte contacts and three commissioners confirmed they had reviewed the files in their entirety for those matters before voting.

- The board also approved a later agenda adjustment (removal of a workshop item) and recessed into and returned from an executive session on potential litigation (RCW 42.30.110(1)); no decisions were announced from the executive session.

Record entries and next steps

Each of the three conditional-use permits was approved with the findings and conditions described in staff reports; the resolutions specify the findings and conditions that govern each permit's implementation. Staff indicated that, under the county’s planned policy updates, similar routine permits may be processed administratively once updated rules and interlocal agreements are in place.
