Clallam County commissioners approve juvenile-court amendment, domestic-violence grant and remand McDonald Creek RFP to planning staff
Summary
At their March 24 meeting commissioners unanimously approved Amendment #1 to the Family Juvenile Court Improvement Plan (reallocating $4,000), accepted a $27,364 victim-witness domestic-violence grant, and remanded a geotechnical qualifications submission for McDonald Creek to the Department of Community Development for review.
The Clallam County Board of Commissioners voted on several administrative items March 24, approving a small amendment and a grant and routing a geotechnical proposal for further review.
Agreement amendment (Item 2a): Staff described amendment #1 to a Superior Court agreement with the Administrative Office of the Courts for the Family Juvenile Court Improvement Plan. The amendment reallocates $4,000 for the 07/01/2025–06/30/2026 agreement period: $3,250 is designated for trauma-responsive supports and $750 for a family-reunification day. The board moved, seconded and approved the amendment by voice vote.
Victim-witness grant (Item 2b): The board approved a $27,364 grant from the Office of Crime Victim Advocacy to cover part of the salary and benefits for a victim-witness coordinator. The board approved the grant unanimously after staff outlined its purpose: to better serve victims, survivors and witnesses of domestic violence.
McDonald Creek geotechnical submission (Item 3a): Commissioners reviewed a qualifications submission from Geosyntec Consultants for a McDonald Creek irrigation and fish-passage improvement project. The board voted to remand the proposal to the Department of Community Development for staff review and recommendation.
Consent agenda: Earlier the board approved an 11-item consent agenda that included vouchers, minutes, several appointments to advisory boards, an ARPA resolution to pay eligible public-safety personnel costs in 2026 and the annual road-fund certification for fish-passage expenditures.
Votes and procedure: Where recorded, the board approved each item by voice vote with commissioners responding "aye." The transcript records motions and affirmations but does not consistently attribute movers and seconders by name in the motion text; where a specific mover was not recorded, the action is reported as approved by motion and voice vote.
What happens next: The McDonald Creek qualifications will return to staff with a request for recommendation; the juvenile-court amendment and victim-witness grant will be implemented by the relevant county departments in line with the agreement and grant terms.
