Bose Secretary Federal Energy Regulator Commission <br />Re: FERC No. P-2114-Priest Rapids Hydroelectric Project as <br />presented. Chairman Wachsmith seconded. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION NACO – CONFERENCE COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />Commissioner Osiadacz asked the Board if they had any interest in <br />attending the NACO Conference. She stated that since its virtual <br />this year the time commitment in travel as well as expense would be <br />much less, and she thought it would be a good opportunity to see if <br />it’s something the County would like to continue with in the future. <br />The Board agreed that since there are package options (based on <br />attendance) they should see if other Elected Officials would like to <br />get in on the deal. They agreed it would be a good time for them to <br />get a feel for what’s offered at NACO. Staff was directed to put a <br />follow up conversation on the next Monday for further direction. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION PUBLIC RELATIONS ADMIN POSITION COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />The Board discussed what direction they want to go with their Public <br />Relations Administrator (PRA), with Lisa Young, HR Director and <br />Jeanne Killgore, HR Rep. They determined that they would like to <br />move the job description to something along the lines of a Director <br />of Communications, noting it would be a new department. Judy Pless <br />said it was set up already to be a stand-alone Department. There was <br />some discussion on modifications to the job description and Ms. <br />Young indicated that she would bring it back on her Study Session <br />next Tuesday for further discussion and options for the Board to <br />consider. <br /> <br />UPDATE BOCC/ DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORTS COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />Each Commissioner was assigned three different Department Heads to <br />meet with on a weekly basis.
