Board approves consent agenda, WSU waste‑reduction agreement and tax settlement
Summary
The Clallam County commissioners approved the consent agenda (vouchers, appointments, call for a hearing), unanimously approved an agreement with Washington State University for organics-waste reduction, and approved a settlement with Port Angeles Hardwood resolving multiple tax‑year assessments.
At its May 19 meeting the Clallam County Board of Commissioners approved routine consent items and took three recorded actions of note.
The consent agenda — which included approval of vouchers for May 4–15, special payroll items, appointment and reappointments to advisory boards, and a call for a June 2 hearing on an employment-contract amendment for the county administrator — was moved, seconded and passed unanimously.
Separately, the board approved a grant‑funded contract with Washington State University to continue an organics-waste‑reduction program and to assist updating the county’s solid and hazardous waste management plan section related to organics. Staff said prior biennia work with WSU yielded roughly 100–105 tons of organics reduction; the new agreement continues that work for the 2026–2027 biennium.
The board also approved a settlement agreement with Port Angeles Hardwood to resolve multiple years of tax‑assessment litigation. Staff said the settlement avoids protracted appeals and was reached after planning and assessor review; the board voted to approve it unanimously.
No roll-call vote tallies with individual votes were recorded in the public transcript; the meeting record shows unanimous voice approval for these items.
