# Monday Business Meeting - 10/12/2026

The Cowlitz County Commissioners’ Monday business meeting on October 12, 2026, included a finance review and discussion of the scheduled October budget amendment. The review covered general fund revenues and expenses, purchasing-card rebates, and several funds, including $3.3 million in cash in the Real County Public Facilities grant fund; reimbursements for projects awarded to jurisdictions were still pending. The amendment was described as covering medical and payroll adjustments, recognition of grant revenue, ARPA budget rebalancing to support full expenditure of available funds, Expo fair and rodeo revenue and expenses, an ERNR pickup truck, and solid-waste and claims adjustments. The transcript does not show a vote approving the amendment or any contract award.

The board also discussed the Public Facilities District’s possible February ballot measure related to a sports arena multipurpose-room project, but no decision was made. After an executive session for collective bargaining, with no decisions rendered, Human Resources requested authorization to fill a solid-waste supervisor position (replacing a compliance manager role) and an engineer III position; no vote on those requests is captured. No vendor selections or procurement approvals were identified.
