Glenn briefed the BOCC on the background of the group. There have been various names throughout
the years. In 2013 there was approval to include Wahkiakum County. The State has approved this
inclusion and will need to go through the Federal Government. Glenn went through a new interlocal
with BOCC.
Mr. Fashing noted one of the reasons if for additional clarification on who is getting the funding and will
be responsible for administrating the grants.
Glenn noted in the proposed agreement the BOCC’s will appoint the governing board. He went over the
other proposed language. He recommended that the BOCC continues the interlocal as proposed with
the 90 day termination language.
Mr. Fashing discussed the language on appointing the governing board. He noted that some of the
language in the original interlocal was taken out of the agreement was taken out of the Federal
language. Glenn noted that lead agency has a big job ensuring the board is set up. Mr. Fashing is
concerned about not meeting the December 31, 2015 deadline to have the interlocal signed.
The Board will meet on December 21st to discuss the proposed interlocal. Mr. Fashing will contact the
other entities with the new proposed language.
Mental Health Board
Jonathan noted that the person, who this board was set up for, graduated from the program.
Island County
WAPA thinks the judge will side with the County Commissioners. This will end up in the Court of
Appeals. A lot of PA Offices have sent in letters stating how they handle outside council. Lewis County
has not done this and will not be doing so.
The PA’s Office is going to buy a mapping piece of equipment. This will be made available to entities
with the proper training.
The Board went into3:04 pm executive session under RCW 42.30.110(i)(1) for 10 minutes to discuss
pending litigation.
The Board came out of executive session at 3:14 pm with no decisions being made.
Glenn discussed J Vanderstoeps work regarding flooding in Lewis County. He discussed the makeup of
the Industrial Commission and that they have been retaining J for his services. He does not feel this will
work to pay him. There was discussion on how he can be paid. David suggested we do an interlocal with
the local PUD and they will pay Mr. Vanderstoep.
Meeting adjourned at 3:30 pm.
