2026-04-28 BOCC Meeting

The Lewis County Board of Commissioners held a business meeting on April 20, 2026, with all three commissioners present. The meeting included employee recognition awards highlighting dedicated public servants across various county departments. Key procurement-related discussions involved the approval of several resolutions, including the sale of solid waste trailers via Ritchie Brothers auction, and the award of a $520,245.30 contract to Midway Underground for the Carr Road slide repair project funded by FEMA. Additionally, the board approved amendments to contracts with local service providers: a mental health services contract with Cascade Mental Health including a cost-of-living adjustment and weekend on-call services, and consolidated homeless grant funding agreements with Hope Alliance ($160,000 increase for a total of $405,122) and Coastal Community Action Program ($929,000 increase for a total of $1,798,323.60) to support domestic violence and homelessness services. One motion related to an unspecified item died for lack of a second, with a commissioner requesting further information before proceeding. The meeting concluded with no public comments and no further new business.
