BOCC Meeting

The Lewis County Board of Commissioners held a business meeting on September 8, 2026, where they addressed several procurement and budget-related matters. The board approved Resolution 26-383, awarding the Tucker Road paving project contract to Granite Lakeside for $699,349.50, based on the lowest responsible bid. They also ratified Resolution 26-384, which modified burn restrictions to allow recreational campfires and solid fuel barbecues under certain conditions. Additionally, the commissioners discussed Resolution 26-385 concerning a funding request for a critical infrastructure project related to a sinkhole on North Fork, noting discrepancies in the requested amount and the need for more detailed documentation and adherence to established application processes. The meeting included an update on a significant fire at the Centria transfer station, which caused equipment damage and operational disruptions, with plans for repairs and temporary measures underway. No votes were taken on the infrastructure funding request during this meeting, but further discussion and documentation were planned.
