Summary

The Gilliam County Court appointed Arlington City Councilor Kayla Rayburn to the Cities of Gilliam County seat on the Mid‑Columbia Economic Development District board for a term through Aug. 31, 2027; the motion carried by voice vote.

Jessica Mehta briefed the court on outreach to local cities after Gilliam County’s inclusion in the Mid‑Columbia Economic Development District (MCEDD) and recommended appointing an Arlington city councilor to the cities’ seat. Mehta said the usual term is two years and that the initial appointment will align Gilliam County with the board’s odd‑year rotation.

Commissioner moved to appoint Kayla Rayburn, Arlington city councilor, to the seat through 08/31/2027; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote. Mehta noted appointees are expected to represent all cities in the county and to check in with municipalities ahead of quarterly MCEDD meetings.
