September 15, 2026 - Thurston County Board of County Commissioners Work Session

The Thurston County Board of County Commissioners held a work session on September 15, 2026, where they reviewed the agenda for the upcoming meeting and discussed several procurement-related items. Key procurement topics included a grant contract for Thurston County clean buildings, an RFP for state government affairs, an on-call engineering and professional consulting services contract with public works, and the award of progressive design-build service contracts for Thurston County. Additionally, they set public hearings for ordinances related to county facilities conduct and solicitation, and for adopting the 2026 Thurston County Road Standards. The board also discussed interagency and interlocal agreements, including one with the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department and another with the city of Tumwater for indigent defense legal services. The commissioners planned to review treatment sales tax applications and other appointments at a future meeting, aiming for full board participation before final decisions. No votes or motions were explicitly recorded in the transcript, but several action items were scheduled for upcoming meetings.
