Kittitas County commissioners set Facebook posts including employee recognition and three proclamations; minutes record 'not a sanctuary jurisdiction' post
Summary
At the June 16, 2025 Office Administration meeting the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners determined Facebook posts for the week including recognition of Sue Higginbotham, proclamations declaring Colton Magruder Day (June 20) and Jalina Blackmore Day (June 23), and a posted proclamation stating the county is not a sanctuary jurisdiction; the minutes record the decision but no formal ordinance or policy change.
The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners on June 16, 2025, determined the county’s Facebook posts for the week, instructing staff to publish an employee recognition and three proclamations. The action was recorded in the Office Administration meeting minutes; the minutes do not record a separate formal vote or ordinance enacting policy.
The items the Board determined for social-media posting were: an acknowledgment of Sue Higginbotham receiving an employee-of-the-year recognition from the Secretary of State; a proclamation declaring Colton Magruder Day in Kittitas County on June 20, 2025; a proclamation declaring Jalina Blackmore Day in Kittitas County on June 23, 2025; and a proclamation described in the minutes as "Declaring Kittitas County to Not be a Sanctuary Jurisdiction Supporting Evasion of Federal Immigration Enforcement Actions." The minutes record that the Board "determined" these posts for the week of June 16, 2025.
The minutes do not record a formal policy change, ordinance, or vote adopting a county-wide legal position on immigration enforcement; they reflect a communications decision to post these proclamations and recognitions on the county’s Facebook page. The record includes Chairman Laura Osiadacz, Vice-Chairman Cory Wright and Commissioner Brett Wachsmith in attendance and notes no public comment during the meeting.
The minutes do not specify whether the proclamations will be accompanied by additional county action or administrative directives; they record only the planned social-media content.
