06/08/2026 MINUTES 2 <br />conditioned upon recommendations from Public Works, Sheriff, Fire <br />Marshal and Public Health. Vice-Chairman Wachsmith seconded. Motion <br />carried 2-0. <br /> <br />SPECIAL EVENT COLUMBIA RIVER HALF IRONMAN COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />Mandy Buchholz, Office Administrator, provided an update regarding a <br />Special Event Application submitted by Mr. Brisbois. The application <br />and associated fee were received on May 28, 2026, shortly before the <br />proposed event date. Following receipt of the application, County <br />departments conducted their review and identified several questions, <br />concerns, and required revisions that needed to be addressed before <br />approval could be considered. <br /> <br />Comments and requested changes from the Prosecutor's Office were <br />provided to the applicant on June 1, 2026, and comments from <br />Environmental Health were provided on June 2, 2026. As of the review <br />date, responses addressing those comments had not been received. <br />Public Works and the Sheriff's Office also worked with the applicant <br />to obtain additional information and resolve outstanding concerns; <br />however, those matters remained unresolved. Additionally, not all <br />reviewing departments had completed their review and provided <br />recommendations. <br /> <br />Staff feels there is no other option but to recommend denial due to <br />the limited time available before the proposed event date, the <br />inability to complete the required interdepartmental review process, <br />and unresolved departmental concerns. <br /> <br />The Board concurred and denied the Special Event Application for <br />2026. Staff stated they would send a formal letter to the applicant <br />& encourage the applicant to submit any future applications with <br />sufficient lead time to allow for a complete review and coordination <br />process. <br /> <br />UPDATE WHITE BOARD COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />The Board reviewed their current whiteboard topics and provided <br />status updates. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION COUNTY FACEBOOK COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />The Board determined that for the week of June 8, 2026, they would <br />post the following on their Facebook page: STEER I-90 Meeting; Solid <br />Waste announcement for Compact Fluorescent Light Recycling program <br />is back up and running; Public Works Chip Seal Schedule. <br /> <br />UPDATE BOCC/ DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORTS COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />Each Commissioner was assigned three different Department Heads to
