Cowlitz County commissioners reviewed the auditor’s office and elections budgets, discussed recording fee trends and digitization plans, considered sheriff and public-safety contracts, and debated insurance options and broader county budget options ahead of 2027. Finance staff warned of a multi‑million dollar gap in the 2026 budget and proposed earlier department budget guidance and possible voter measures to address public-safety funding.
