Washington County solid waste board OKs 2026 meeting schedule with holiday adjustments
Summary
Washington County Solid Waste Management approved its 2026 meeting calendar after adjusting dates that fell on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Presidents' Day. The board accepted the director's recommendation and recorded a voice/hand vote to adopt the schedule.
Speaker 2 opened the formal motion to adopt the board's 2026 meeting schedule 'based on the director's recommendation,' prompting discussion about holiday conflicts and alternate dates.
Speaker 3 pointed out that the standard third-Monday schedule would conflict with Martin Luther King Jr. Day in January and recommended moving that meeting to Jan. 16. On Presidents' Day, the board discussed alternatives including Feb. 13, Feb. 20 or Feb. 3, with several members indicating a preference for Feb. 13. Speaker 2 made the motion to approve the schedule; the motion was seconded and approved by voice/hand vote.
The change means at least one regular meeting will be shifted from the typical third Monday to avoid federal holidays. No additional formal votes or roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript; the approval was noted by assent ('All in favor' with hands raised). The board did not specify whether the amended schedule requires public notice beyond the standard posting process.
The board proceeded from the schedule vote to consider encumbrances, transfers and operational updates later in the meeting.
