Grays Harbor County Commissioner's Meeting 09/08/26

At the September 8, 2026 Grays Harbor County Commissioners meeting, the board approved two forestry pile-covering contracts with Carlos Reforestation LLC: COVR2601 for $20,680 and COVR2602 for $5,480. It also approved deobligating $6,412.45 in CHG funds for the CAP housing system of services and a fourth amendment to the agreement with Coastal Community Action Program, increasing funds by the same amount for youth transitional housing units. Commissioners approved an easement with Grays Harbor PUD for electrical facilities serving the wastewater treatment plant; staff said clerical corrections would be made before final submission. The board also approved a variance from minimum road standards for Kesler Lane, case 26-0533, as recommended by staff, for improvements associated with a proposed single-family home.

The scheduled general-fund budget hearing was continued to September 22 so staff could provide updated salary and benefit-cost information. A supplemental hearing for the ERNR building gutter project was canceled after staff determined the work would remain within the existing budget. The food policy hearing was also continued to September 22. The board approved its revised 2026 strategic objectives and key results and adopted a diaper-need awareness proclamation. No other procurement awards were identified in the transcript.
