Commissioners read multiple consent items; work session adjourned by voice vote
Summary
During the March 6 Yakima County work session the clerk read a list of consent resolutions and agreements across departments; no votes on those items were recorded in the transcript. The meeting ended with a motion to adjourn, which passed by voice vote.
The Board of Yakima County Commissioners reviewed consent and regular agenda items at the March 6 work session. Julie Lawrence, Clerk of the Board, read resolutions and agreements across multiple departments covering settlements, Title VI reporting, awards for solar projects at county facilities, a heat‑pump replacement at the Terrace Heights landfill, personnel additions and deletions, road department labor agreements, water‑resources grants and other procurement items.
Items read into the record included (as read by the clerk): • Resolution 60‑2025 — approving settlement in Church v. Yakima County (backup was not included in the meeting packet and the clerk said a brief summary could be provided offline). • Resolution 50‑2025 — reaffirming Title VI policy and approving the Title VI accomplishments and goals report. • Resolutions awarding proposals for solar projects at multiple county facilities (listed as 50120, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 in the clerk’s reading). • Agreement 82‑2025 — heat‑pump replacement at the Terrace Heights landfill. • Personnel‑related resolutions 57‑2025 and 58‑2025 for staffing changes in county funds and departments. • Agreement 83‑2025 — a 2025–2026 agreement with County Road technical and professional employees group. • Resolution 59‑2025 — authorizing the water resources manager to sign a Department of Ecology grant agreement for Shaw and White Hollow Creeks restoration phase 2. • Agreement 84‑2025 — contract with Servpro of Yakima for water damage repairs. • Resolution 61‑2025 — authorizing advertisement of a request for qualifications for a county strategic plan. • Agreement 85‑2025 — Titan Electrical LLC agreement for generator backup for the secure data center.
The clerk did not record individual votes on these consent items in the public transcript excerpt. Commissioners raised one question about whether backup documentation for the Church v. Yakima County settlement had been circulated; the clerk said the matter had been discussed in executive session and offered to circulate a summary offline.
The work session ended when the board chair entertained a motion to adjourn. A member moved to adjourn and another seconded; the chair asked "All in favor?" and two vocal "Aye" responses were recorded. The transcript does not identify the mover, the seconder by name, nor does it provide a roll‑call tally beyond the two recorded vocal affirmations. No further actions or votes were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
