Island County Commissioners – Work Session

The Island County Commissioners meet in Work Session routinely on the first three Wednesdays of each month (unless otherwise scheduled). Work sessions are public meetings which provide an opportunity in an informal workshop format for the Board to review in detail ongoing issues with individual departments and elected officials. This time also is used for the Commissioners to meet with other agencies, committees and groups to discuss specific topics of mutual interest. Items are typically first reviewed at Work Session before being scheduled on the agenda for the Commissioners’ regular business meetings held on Tuesdays. The agenda for the work session is at this link.

Topics of interest include:

• Commissioner’s Office: a report by the county’s lobbyists regarding the 2022 legislative session
• Facilities: discussion of the draft purchase and sale agreements for buildings in Coupeville and Oak Harbor
• Health Department / Department of Natural Resources: discussion of an amendment to the budget for the contract with Foundational Public Health Services, which provides public health services to the county
• Human Resources: discussion of a memorandum of understanding with the Island County Deputy Sheriff’s Guild covering Corrections
• Budget Manager: a presentation on the 2021 Financial Results, First Quarter of 2022 Financial Results, and an update on the use of American Rescue Plan Act funding.
