Commissioners approve consent agenda including contract renewals, sheriff agreements and surplus notices
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, which included a professional services contract with Bill Clark ($6,000/month plus $100 monthly expense reimbursement through 12/31/2026), renewal of a psychological-services agreement for required evaluations, an MOU to support the sheriff's canine program, and notices to set hearings on surplus equipment.
The Board of Commissioners approved the consent agenda, which bundled several routine administrative items including contract renewals, interlocal agreements and surplus designations.
A staff presenter described a professional services agreement with Bill Clark to provide government-affairs representation to the county at $6,000 per month with a $100 monthly expense reimbursement, effective Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2026; the presenter said the prosecutor's office had approved the agreement. Separately, Public Health/basic-needs staff presented contract renewals that went through the county RFP process and were recommended for renewal.
Chris Woods of the sheriff's office presented a renewal of the county's agreement with a psychological-services provider that conducts legally required background evaluations and described an MOU under which a charitable foundation can provide supplies for the sheriff's canine program.
Public Works identified six pieces of equipment as surplus and asked the board to set a public hearing under RCW 36.34 0.08 for Feb. 3, 2026 at 2 p.m. for consideration of surplus equipment. The items and hearings were included in the consent materials approved by the board.
Commissioners moved to approve the consent agenda by voice vote; the Chair called the motion passed. The transcript does not record individual roll-call tallies for each consent item; individual items will proceed to the board's published next steps as required by county procedure.
