Thurston County Board of Health holds executive session to prepare for septic-code appeal
Summary
The Thurston County Board of Health met in a special executive session for about 30 minutes to prepare for an appeal hearing related to Thurston County septic code Article 1, Section 9, and gave staff direction, a staff member said. No public vote was recorded and the meeting was adjourned.
A Thurston County staff member said the Thurston County Board of Health met in a special executive session on Oct. 25, 2025, and that the session lasted about 30 minutes to prepare for an appeal hearing concerning Thurston County septic code Article 1, Section 9.
“The board of health, did give, direction to staff,” the staff member said, and the meeting was then adjourned.
The staff member said the session invoked RCW 42.30.140 and lasted about 30 minutes. The transcript indicates a quorum of the board of health was present though not a full quorum; no public roll-call vote or ordinance adoption was recorded in the meeting transcript. The meeting facilitator also noted the time as 3:35 p.m.
Because the discussion took place in executive session under the cited RCW, the transcript contains only limited public detail about the substance of the board’s deliberations. The public record in the transcript shows only that the board met in executive session to prepare for an appeal hearing tied to the county’s septic-code provision and that staff received direction from the board.
The meeting concluded without further public action recorded in the transcript. The transcript does not specify the date of the appeal hearing, the exact content of the direction given to staff, or the identities of individual board members who participated.
