At-a-glance: Thurston County board approves administrative corrections, letters of support and a natural-resources letter
Summary
At Tuesday’s study session the board approved a renumbering correction for resolution 16,476, rescinded the original property-tax certification resolution 16,567 (replacing it with the corrected 12/19/2025 version), approved letters of support for HB 1592 and SB 5404 (public defense) and approved a letter to the Board of Natural Resources regarding capital forest-sales compromise language.
Thurston County commissioners used the study-session review to clear several administrative and advocacy items ahead of the business meeting.
The board approved a scrivener renumbering for a previously adopted resolution, assigning it number 16,476 to correct an earlier misnumbering. The board also approved a motion to rescind the original version of resolution 16,567 (the property-tax certification originally approved 12/10/2025) and to confirm the corrected resolution approved 12/19/2025; the clerk recorded the rescind motion result as "4 0 2 with 1 extension" and declared the motion carried.
The board authorized letters of support and electronic signature use for two bills related to public-defense funding — House Bill 1592 and Senate Bill 5404 — directing the clerk to transmit the letters to legislative contacts.
Commissioners also approved a letter to the state Board of Natural Resources that seeks compromise language to preserve larger patches of legacy forest and address community concerns about planned sales near McLean Nature Trail; the chair will add electronic signatures as authorized.
These actions were procedural in nature but advance intergovernmental and legislative advocacy and correct the county's resolution records.
