Monday, April 22, 2024 AM
• During public comments, Sheilah and Jeff Delfeld tell the commissioners about their problems getting a mailbox on their property on Rodeo Trail Rd. If it’s simply a matter of locating the mailbox, there’s no permitting necessary, but if they want a new address on Rodeo Trail Rd. instead of Hwy 97, they need to get it from the Colville Tribe.
• Pete Palmer, Planning Director, has made a new red-line document for the Planning Commission to consider at their meeting this evening. It incorporates all the comments received about the draft zoning code, and Palmer hopes that the Planning Commission will recommend that it be sent to the County Commissioners and be put out for a new 30-day comment period.
• The commissioners hear a presentation about a proposed conservation easement for a 2,312 acre cattle ranch near Carter Mountain.
• The commissioners hold a 30 minute executive session under RCW 42.30.110(1)(g)—to consider the performance of a public employee, inviting Vicky Poole, HR Analyst/Civil Service Examiner.
• Meeting adjourns for the day at 11:45.

• Public Comment: Ms. Jackson comments on the Planning Commission meeting, found it interesting and long. Surprised they only meet 1X monthly for all there is to do. Ruth Hall comments that it is good to have a full Board of Equalization (BOE) now – all three districts.
• Commissioner Hover notes the ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) fund is $80,000 over-allocated, then confers with Clerk of the Board Lanie Johns throughout the meeting to get the figures straight.
• Solid Waste: Twisp Transfer Station summer hours will begin earlier this year; composting business interested in wood chips from the County.
• · Public Works: County is still in process of determining which departments will be moving where with the new building. Letter of Re-Commitment for Forest Collaborative participants.
• HR/Risk Manager: Grant funded Outreach Specialist position for the Sheriff’s Office to be finalized; then begin the hiring process.
