Thurston County to postpone two department items to Aug. 19 pending Commerce response
Summary
The board indicated at the Aug. 5 work session it will propose postponing department items 61 and 62 to Aug. 19 while awaiting a response from Washington State Department of Commerce; county and public health staff said Commerce confirmed the county would receive a response this week.
At the Aug. 5 agenda-setting work session, the Thurston County Board of County Commissioners discussed department items 61 and 62 and indicated they will be postponed to the Aug. 19 meeting while the county waits for additional information from the Washington State Department of Commerce.
Ty Menster, chair of the Thurston County Board of County Commissioners, said he and County Manager Leonard Hernandez attended a meeting with Commerce staff last week and "we I think we all felt like we were at least heard," referring to questions raised during that meeting. The work session record shows county staff expect a substantive response this week; the transcript states, "Public health staff did receive confirmation from Commerce staff that we would receive something this week." The transcript does not include the Commerce response itself or specifics about items 61 and 62.
The board indicated it would propose a motion at the 2 p.m. business meeting to postpone those items to Aug. 19. The work session did not record a formal vote on the postponement.
