Commissioner's Meetings, Tuesday 9/29/2026

Grant County Board of County Commissioners meeting, September 29, 2026: The board discussed several infrastructure and spending matters but made no contract award or vendor-selection decision. Commissioners sought an in-person progress check on the McKay healthcare project to verify that county funds were being spent appropriately; staff said project-status information is submitted with payout requests and reported that construction was progressing. Staff also reported updated City of Moses Lake cost-share figures for half-road improvements and work on an interlocal agreement, with coordination delayed by a building-location error. No dollar amounts were stated. A fairgrounds fence agenda item was removed for revision and resubmission after discussion of using another fund; the board did not approve it as presented.

At a public hearing, the board voted to rescind Resolution 06-139-C, reopen Bumont Drive, and remove the gate; a public commenter also urged public works to finish chip-sealing the road, but no related funding or contract action was identified. The meeting also covered hiring-freeze backfills and position changes, including a veteran services navigator position expected to be largely state-reimbursed, but these were personnel matters rather than procurement approvals.
