The Board of Island County Commissioners approved the meeting agenda as amended, approved the consent agenda as amended, and passed Resolution C5924 by a 2–1 vote during the Jan. 8 regular session.

A motion to approve the agenda as amended (pulling item 4 from the consent agenda to the regular agenda) was made and seconded; the record shows three ayes and the motion carried. The consent agenda, as amended, was also moved, seconded and approved with three ayes.

Later in the meeting a motion was made to approve Resolution C5924. The motion was seconded and, after a roll call, the resolution passed by a 2–1 vote; the clerk read, "Any opposed? Opposed. This resolution is passed 2 to 1." No additional details about the contents of Resolution C5924 were provided in the public transcript beyond the motion to approve. One commissioner explained earlier that they opposed the timing of implementing a travel-stipend increase now and preferred handling it during a future budget process; that commissioner said staff had since located county vehicles on Camano Island that partly addressed travel concerns, but remained opposed to approving the stipend at this time.
