Resolution

WHEREAS, Chapter 36.34 RCW authorizes counties to establish comprehensive procedures for the management of county property consistent with the public interest. Upon adoption of such procedures, a county is exempt from the requirements of Chapter 36.34 RCW, although it retains all powers granted by that chapter; and

WHEREAS, Lewis County adopted such comprehensive procedures in Lewis County Code 03.30 1996 (Ordinance 1154) and amended the code in 2005 (Ordinance 1154A) and those procedures have become outdated due to technology and organizational changes; and

WHEREAS, Lewis County has prepared a draft of changes to Lewis County Code 03.30 to make the required adjustments to procedures and responsible officials and said draft has been reviewed by all interested officials and the Prosecuting Attorney's office.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that a hearing before the Lewis County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) is hereby scheduled for December 7, 2021, to take public testimony and/or written comment on the adoption of Ordinance 1331, replacing Chapter 03.30; and

NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the BOCC is hereby instructed to proceed with all appropriate and necessary notifications, posting and publication for the changes as required by law.

DONE IN OPEN SESSION this 23rd day of November, 2021.
