Directors' Update: June 21, 2023

Business Meeting: June 27, 2023

Summary:

On July 1, 2023, the County will receive a Periodic Update Grant (PUG) from Commerce.  The PUG is a state appropriation provided to all jurisdictions planning under GMA.  More information about the PUG is available on the Commerce webpage; https://www.commerce.wa.gov/serving-communities/growth-management/growth-management-grants/. Lewis County is a GMA fully-planning county with a population under 100,000 and therefore, the PUG is $350,000. The PUG is split into two years, with $175,000 available each year. The PUG must be used to complete all requirements of the periodic update for the Lewis County Comprehensive Plan. This resolution authorizes the Director of the Department of Community Development to release a Request for Proposals to procure these services via full, fair, and open competition and evaluate responses.  It also authorizes the Clerk of the Lewis County BOCC to proceed with all appropriate and necessary notifications, posting and publication as required and as advisable.
