At a special meeting April 8, 2025, the Clallam County Board of Health County Commissioners entered an executive session to discuss collective bargaining strategy and returned to open session with no formal action announced.
The meeting convened with several county officials present, and commissioners moved to go into executive session “until 12 p.m.” for what the presiding speaker described as a discussion of collective bargaining. The board said it expected the executive session to last about 30 minutes. After the closed session, the board returned to the record and announced that “no action will follow today's meeting.”
Present at the meeting were Commissioner Mike French, Commissioner Mark Ozias and Commissioner Randy Johnson; county staff listed included Deputy Chief Financial Officer Rebecca Turner, Chief Financial Officer Mark Langton, Todd Milkey (county administrator), Brenda Wenzel (HR), Tammy Sellinger (senior risk manager) and Eleanor R. Hill (engine coordinator). The transcript also referenced a participant named Krishna who had briefly dropped off the call; the transcript did not identify that person’s role or affiliation.
The meeting record shows the commissioners voted to enter the executive session and that the motion passed unanimously. The transcript does not disclose the substance of the collective bargaining discussion because it occurred in executive session. The board indicated only that no formal action resulted from the closed-door discussion and expressed hope for a resolution in the future.
No proposals, agreements, motions for adoption, or votes on bargaining terms were recorded in the public minutes during the open portions of the meeting. The county did not identify any specific bargaining unit, contract, monetary figures, or timetable for follow-up in the portions of the meeting available in the transcript.
The meeting lasted for the single listed agenda matter on executive session; the county indicated the session would end at 12 p.m. and subsequently returned the meeting to the public record.
