Dear Luke,
May 2, 2017
The CRABoard, at its April 27, 2017 meeting, acknowledged the county's withdrawal of
the RAP funded Westside Road Project, RAP # 1915-02. The previous granted waiver of
payback of $54,995 was therefore rescinded by the board since it was conditioned on the
county pursuing this project.
The retained amount of $54,995 must be reimbursed to the County Road Administration
Board no later than June 26, 2017, per WAC 136-167-030 (1),
If you have any questions please feel free to call Randy Hart at 360-350-6081.
