The Washington County Board of Commissioners approved a 13-item consent agenda, authorized recruitment to fill vacancies on multiple boards and commissions through Oct. 28, and recorded unanimous roll-call outcomes for each motion.

At its Sept. 16 meeting the Washington County Board of Commissioners approved the consent agenda and authorized staff to recruit applicants for a series of board and commission vacancies.

The motion carried unanimously, recorded as 4 to 0 in favor.

The board then discussed multiple vacancies on advisory bodies and authorized staff to recruit applicants through Oct. 28 (or until all vacancies are filled). The list of openings the board announced included the Aging and Veteran Services Advisory Council; the Civil Service Commission; Columbia-Pacific Economic Development District (COG PAC) with a residency requirement; Developmental Disabilities Council; Enhanced Sheriff Patrol District/Urban Road Maintenance District Budget Committee; the Metzger Park/Enhanced Sheriff Patrol advisory committee (with residency in the Metzger Park area); North Bethany County Service District for Roads Budget Committee (North Bethany residency); Northwest Area Commission on Transportation (western County residency); Property Value Assessment Appeal Board; Public Health Advisory Council; Public Safety Coordinating Council (PSCC); Rural Roads Operation and Maintenance Advisory Committee; and the Enhanced Sheriff Patrol/County Service District for Lighting No. 1 budget committee. The recruitment motion also carried unanimously, 4 to 0.
