Commissioners authorize chair to sign WSDOT contracting authority agreement
Summary
The board authorized the chair to sign an updated WSDOT contracting authority (CA) agreement that clarifies the county org chart and who may sign certain state‑funded projects and contracts.
The board approved an updated WSDOT contracting authority agreement on Oct. 29, authorizing the chair to sign the CA for Okanogan County Public Works. Staff said the document primarily updated the org chart and a table identifying who has signature authority for federal‑ or state‑funded projects; staff noted WSDOT asks for a new form when the county's approved signers change.
Commissioners moved and seconded authorization and voted unanimously to allow the chair to execute the agreement so the county can continue to administer federal projects through WSDOT without delay.
Why it matters: The CA agreement sets contracting authority for projects administered by the county involving state or federal funds and helps avoid delays in project delivery.
What happens next: Staff will sign and return the CA to WSDOT and update county records as required.
