Commissioner Jackson made a motion to approve Resolution 20-186 to appoint Ross Petersen to the
Public Facilities District Board of Directors.
Commissioner Fund seconded.
Motion passed 3-0.
JP Anderson said there have been no new cases since the previous day. He said Public Health and Social
Services hopes to develop by June 9 a packet compiling information for the Phase 3 application.
Steve Wohld said a coalition is working on plans for opening offices and departments to the public. He
said the public still will be encouraged to seek services through alternative means, such as online.
Jonathan Meyer said the governor’s office has mandated that all employees must wear masks beginning
June 8.
Commissioner Jackson noted that he has a medical deferral and will not be wearing a mask.
Commissioner Stamper said Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she received a
document from the state Department of Health regarding possible flexibility regarding the wearing of
masks. Jonathan Meyer read a document the Island County’s HR department drafted regarding the use
of masks.
Erik said the Auditor’s Office would prefer to have a single point of entry for the public.
Jonathan reminded the group that there likely will be occupancy limits.
The commissioners said they’d like all entrances to the historic courthouse open once the county moves
to Phase 3.
