County discusses personal services agreement to lease transitional units for homeless veterans; motion made
Summary
Commissioners discussed a personal services agreement with Community Action of Skagit County to lease four transitional housing units in Mount Vernon for homeless veterans under the VASH program and moved to approve the items; transcript does not record a completed roll-call vote.
Skagit County commissioners discussed a personal services agreement with Community Action of Skagit County to lease four transitional housing units in Mount Vernon for homeless veterans served through the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program.
A commissioner noted the arrangement is being run under the county's miscellaneous agenda items because Commissioner Wiesen has a long-standing role with Community Action and federal rules can require recusal when federal funds are involved. A speaker described both the VASH program and the county's typical practice of placing miscellaneous items that could trigger recusals into that part of the agenda.
A commissioner moved to approve ‘‘both of these very, very important for our community and additional items’’ and the motion was seconded. The available transcript ends shortly after the second, with no recorded roll-call tally or explicit statement that the motion passed in the excerpt provided.
No contract numbers, lease amounts or effective dates were read aloud in the portions of the meeting transcript provided.
