Washington State University Extension representatives told the Cowlitz County Board of Commissioners at a budget workshop that the department’s professional-services memorandum of understanding (MOU) would remain at $55,000 for 2026 and that the overall proposed budget shows a modest net decrease.
The extension’s presentation outlined line-item changes the department proposes for 2026: professional services reduced from $59,007 to $55,000 (a $4,007 decrease), a $25 request for administrative mileage, a roughly $20 increase in leased equipment costs, and a $700 increase in Cougar Cottage water expenses (from $3,800 to $4,500). The presenter said those and other adjustments produce a projected net decrease of $3,262 for the listed line items.
