Votes at a glance: Skamania County board approves MOU on shift incentive pay, supports WASC land-proviso letter; vouchers approved with one held
Summary
The county board amended the agenda, approved a memorandum of understanding with the Skamania County Law Enforcement Guild on shift-incentive pay, voted to send a letter supporting a WASC proviso to purchase forest lands, and approved the day's vouchers while holding one invoice pending contract verification.
Skamania County commissioners recorded several procedural and budgetary actions during their March 25 meeting.
Key outcomes
- MOU approved: The board approved a memorandum of understanding with the Skamania County Law Enforcement Guild governing modifications to shift incentive pay effective March 1. Commissioners voted and the motion carried.
- WASC letter approved: Commissioners voted to add and approve a letter of support for a WASC proviso to purchase forest lands for encumbered counties; the motion passed.
- Vouchers approved with hold: The board approved the county's vouchers dated March 25, 2025, totaling $233,542.57, but the board withheld payment of a single voucher (No. 202884) for $8,128.55 until a vendor contract could be located and verified. County staff said the hold was requested because they were "unable to find a contract for this particular one" and the sheriff's office was coordinating further contact with the vendor.
- Consent agenda and agenda amendments: The board amended the agenda to add the WASC letter and the law-enforcement MOU; the consent agenda passed with item 7 pulled for separate discussion earlier in the meeting.
Votes and procedural notes: Several motions were made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records voice ayes and the chair declared motions carried but does not record roll-call tallies.
