At its Aug. 5 agenda-setting work session, the Thurston County Board of County Commissioners reviewed consent item 11: a sheriff's office request to issue a request for proposals for inmate anger-management, domestic-violence and female-offender services at the Thurston County Correctional Facility.

Ty Menster, chair of the Thurston County Board of County Commissioners, and other commissioners noted the undersheriff provided a July 30 written response supplying statistics and answers to questions raised during last week's agenda review. Commissioner Emily Klaus said, "The email actually covered my questions, so I'm good to go." No commissioner asked for further detail during the work session.

The item remains on the consent calendar for the board's 2 p.m. business meeting; the work session record shows no formal action was taken there. The record does not specify the proposed contract length, budget, or preferred vendors; those details were not provided in the work-session discussion.

Because the item is on the consent agenda, any final contract award or formal vote will be recorded in the afternoon meeting minutes and agenda materials.
