WHEREAS, the Lewis County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved Ordinance 1202 on October 15, 2008; and

WHEREAS, Ordinance 1202 purported to provide "pre-employment drug / alcohol testing and a definition of safety-sensitive jobs and designated jobs based on definition for purposes of drug / alcohol random testing"; and

WHEREAS, the BOCC will hold a hearing to consider Ordinance 1355, which would repeal and rescind Ordinance 1202.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the BOCC will hold a public hearing in the Commissioners’ Hearing Room in the Historic Courthouse at 351 NW North Street in Chehalis at or after 10 a.m. May 7, 2024, to consider and take public testimony about proposed Ordinance 1355, which would repeal and rescind Ordinance 1202; and
