Jessie Stensland reports:
The state Auditor’s Office issued two findings against Island County this month for errors in the way that it kept track of COVID relief fund grants in 2020.
The problems didn’t result in any loss of funding and the county’s processes were fixed, the report states.

Commissioner Jill Johnson pointed out that many businesses were shuttered and the community was desperate for help in the midst of the pandemic.
“There was a lot of pressure on staff to push out these funds as fast as we could,” she said.
