Board schedules several appointments and contract amendments for May 12 meeting

The Clallam County Board of Commissioners used its April 27 work session to set a range of administrative items for formal action at the May 12 regular meeting, including advisory committee appointments, contract amendments, and current-use open-space applications.

Staff (speaker 2) summarized that the revenue advisory committee resolution will nominate Daniel Peacock and Lynn Castner and that a DDAC subcommittee unanimously recommended three candidates — Rae Hesselbach, Patrice Johnston and Denise Lapio — to the full DDAC and for BOCC consideration. "Ms. Hesselbach has 17 years of teaching special education students with complex medical communication and behavioral needs," staff read into the record when introducing candidates.

Staff also described a small amendment to a transition-program contract with Complete Valley School District to add two students through the end of August; staff said funding exists within the contract and state/millage funds can cover additional slots. A separate PESR amendment was described to cover community inclusion services for individuals in nursing and retirement facilities; the total grant was described as $51,690 with $16,800 received and a remaining balance of $34,890 for the amendment.

Planning staff (speaker 12) recommended approval of two current-use (open-space) applications under county code 27.08 and RCW 84.34: an approximately 17-acre farm/AG application for Richard Kelly (tax-shift estimated at about $2,000) and a 30-acre parcel for Ward and Rita Willets (29 acres entering open-space under a conservation easement, tax-shift estimated at about $3,554). Planning confirmed the planning commission held public hearings; the board agreed to place the resolution on the May 12 agenda for formal action.

Next steps: all items will appear on the May 12 regular meeting agenda for formal consideration and any required votes.
