WHEREAS, Lewis County Fire District 6 has a need for traffic control flagging services during a controlled house burn at 2517 Jackson Highway, Chehalis, on April 30, 2022, but lacks the manpower and equipment to complete the work and has asked to enter into an interlocal agreement for Lewis County to perform the work; and

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the BOCC has determined proceeding with the interlocal agreement between Lewis County and Lewis County Fire District 6 is in the best public interest and is hereby approved, and the BOCC is authorized to sign the same.
