County accepts $1,000 microgrant for traffic printers; board to enter executive session on litigation

Spokane County Board of Commissioners · August 25, 2026

Summary

The board accepted a $1,000 microgrant to purchase two in‑vehicle printers for traffic units and scheduled a 40‑minute executive session to discuss pending and potential litigation under RCW 42.30.110(1)(i); no action will be taken after the session.

A staff member announced that the county had been awarded a $1,000 microgrant to buy two printers for traffic vehicles to print exchange and accident forms and asked the board's blessing to accept the funds. Commissioners signaled informal approval and staff said the amount will cover two printers and tax; consumables (ink and paper) would be additional.

Later in the briefing the presiding official announced three planned executive‑session items totaling 40 minutes to discuss pending and potential litigation under state law (RCW 42.30.110(1)(i)). The chair said "we're gonna go into executive session for 40 minutes for the items just discussed ... and no action will be taken at the end of the 40 minutes," and that the board would adjourn for the morning and reconvene for the 2:00 p.m. session.

The microgrant acceptance was an administrative matter and the executive sessions were scheduled per the statutory provision cited; the briefing did not include the substantive litigation discussions, which were to be closed to the public.
