Commissioners approve amendment to Community Action of Skagit County contract; one commissioner recuses
Summary
The Board approved an amendment decreasing compensation under a Community Action of Skagit County personal services agreement; one commissioner recused because of board membership, and the amendment reduces the contract amount by $3,000 from $164,400, with the contract remaining in effect through the date stated in county materials.
Skagit County commissioners approved a miscellaneous agenda amendment on Monday that reduces compensation to Community Action of Skagit County under a personal services agreement by $3,000 from $164,400. One commissioner recused from the vote because they serve on the board of Community Action.
County staff described the amendment as tied to the existing agreement for management and programming at the Concrete Community Center. The contract remains in place through the date listed in the county materials (stated in the meeting as “until December 30 first of 2025”). Staff did not provide additional detail on how the decreased compensation will change service levels.
Why it matters: Community Action of Skagit County operates programming at a county facility that serves local residents. The financial amendment is a change to the contract’s compensation; the record shows a recusal by a commissioner who identified a board affiliation with Community Action, and the county proceeded with the vote while that commissioner stepped aside.
Action taken: A motion to approve the miscellaneous item and contract amendment passed with a vote recorded as two in favor, zero opposed, and one recusal (2‑0 with 1 recusal). The mover and seconder were not identified by full name in the record.
Meeting context: The commissioners handled the consent agenda earlier in the meeting and then considered the miscellaneous item regarding the Community Action agreement before adjourning for lunch. The record shows the commissioners adopted the amendment during the same public session in which they later recessed and resumed for a parks public hearing.
Ending: The amendment passed and the contract remains in effect for the period stated in county materials; staff did not specify further reporting or follow-up tasks in the televised discussion.
