County to place DLCD gap‑analysis intergovernmental agreement on consent agenda after staff briefing
Summary
County staff said a DLCD grant-funded gap-analysis and consultant engagement (3j Consulting) will move forward; commissioners agreed to place the intergovernmental agreement on next week’s consent agenda so contracting can be formalized.
County staff briefed the Board of Commissioners on an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) tied to a Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) grant to fund a gap‑analysis and planning technical assistance across multiple cities in Columbia County.
Staff said DLCD awarded the grant and that 3j Consulting has been working with the county and participating cities to scope code and planning needs; the IGA to formalize those engagements has been received and staff requested authorization to sign once a contract number is assigned. A staff member said the IGA aligns with the county’s gap analysis and will position the county for additional funding in future grant rounds and for planning technical assistance to update local codes.
Commissioners raised standard process questions about contract routing and recordkeeping; one commissioner recommended placing the IGA on the consent agenda with a contract number added so the work can proceed without delay. Staff committed to add the IGA to next week’s consent agenda and to return with the formal contract number for signature. No formal vote was recorded at the work session; the IGA will be handled as a routine consent‑agenda item.
