Tuesday Public Meeting - 10.06.2026

Cowlitz County Commissioners public meeting (listed as October 6, 2026; metadata timestamp is October 7) included approval of the September 28–29 minutes and the consent agenda. Consent items included additional providers funded through a state block grant, a personal services agreement with Educational Service District 112 for truancy support using pass-through Becca funds, a resolution certifying the 2027 budget for Improvement District No. 15, and correspondence concerning a grant application and a temporary construction easement for the Burma Road-to-Park bypass project. The commissioners approved vouchers totaling $5,144,128.12. They also discussed a grant-support letter related to emergency-evacuation planning.

The commissioners considered the Shadow Mountain water project, Phase One. Staff reported 11 bids received, with the selected bid described as below the $93,000 engineer’s estimate. The work will install a previously approved pump station, about 1,900 feet of water main, service connections, and two fire hydrants, using ARPA funds; a water tank is planned as a later phase. A motion to approve Phase One was made, but the transcript does not capture the vote or final disposition. A six-year road plan and property-tax discussion were announced for a later meeting segment, not shown in the transcript.
