Board approves Resolution H12025 appointing primary and backup hearing officers for health appeals
Summary
The Board of Health approved Resolution H12025, continuing Sharon Lewis as primary hearing officer and naming a pro tem community-planning official as the alternate; approval was by voice vote and no roll-call tally was recorded in the minutes.
Thurston County’s Board of Health voted to approve Resolution H12025 at its Feb. 11 meeting to set administrative hearing coverage for appeals of decisions by the health officer.
The resolution continues to appoint Sharon Lewis as the primary hearing officer. Because Lewis is sometimes unavailable, the resolution named a pro tempore hearing officer from the Community Planning and Economic Development department — identified in the resolution text as Brian T. (as spelled in the packet) — to serve as a backup for Public Health & Social Services when needed. The resolution also specifies that certain county officials (the Public Health & Social Services director/health officer, environmental-division director and related staff) may fulfill hearing roles if the named officers are unavailable.
Health-division staff introduced the item and said the appointment formalizes interim hearing coverage arrangements for administrative appeals (for example, permit decisions, orders or requirements) beginning with the county’s stated administrative hearing process. A motion to approve Resolution H12025 passed on a voice vote; the minutes record an affirmative voice vote with no roll-call tally included in the meeting record.
No amendments were made to the resolution during the meeting.
