Franklin County, Washington Board of Commissioners meeting — October 14, 2026. The board heard a presentation from benefits broker Marsh Agency on the 2027 employee benefits plan for non-bargaining employees. The presentation covered Premier Blue Cross renewal terms, claims experience, HRA funding, and options to adjust deductibles and prescription coverage; the revised blended renewal was reported at 13.33%, with additional plan-design options discussed. The broker recommended an option that would keep increases more balanced across plans, but commissioners deferred a decision until after executive session. No benefits-plan award or final renewal decision was recorded.

The commissioners unanimously approved Resolution 26-335, a 2026 budget transfer for the HAPO Center operational fund to provide additional budget capacity; staff clarified it was not a cash transfer, and no amount was stated. Staff also reported work toward authorizing final execution of a Community Development Block Grant public-services contract and preparing a subrecipient contract with Community Action Connections. Road and infrastructure updates included the annual road program and federally authorized work on Glade Road North intersection illumination, Countyway guardrails, and the Vineyard Drive East bridge replacement. No specific project award amounts or bid approvals were reported.
