Skagit County approves consent agenda including school intervention interlocal and SR 20 roundabout right-of-way agreement
Summary
Skagit County commissioners approved Consent Agenda items 1–13 May 18, including an interlocal agreement to help Burlington-Edison School District hire a full-time intervention specialist for substance-use-prevention and a WSDOT right-of-way/maintenance agreement for a planned roundabout at State Route 20 and Campbell Lake Road.
The Skagit County Board of Commissioners approved its consent agenda May 18, adopting items 1 through 13, which included an interlocal cooperative agreement with the Burlington-Edison School District to support hiring one full-time intervention specialist to provide substance-use-disorder prevention services and a maintenance/right-of-way agreement with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) related to a planned roundabout at State Route 20 and Campbell Lake Road.
A commissioner who spoke in advance of the vote described the school interlocal (item 9) as a way to “meet young people where they are” and to prevent drug use by funding prevention services inside the district. The chair noted safety concerns at the SR 20/Campbell Lake Road intersection and said the Samish Indian Tribe secured federal funds to help advance the roundabout project; the maintenance agreement gives WSDOT the ability to build and maintain a parcel that intrudes on county right-of-way.
A commissioner moved to approve the consent agenda and another seconded; the board recorded the motion as passed. The transcript records the motion, multiple “aye” responses and the chair’s announcement that the motion passed. The consent vote included routine ratifications, vouchers and warrants for Monday, May 18, 2026. The transcript does not provide line-item dollar amounts for the interlocal or the WSDOT agreement.
