Meeting with the Board of County Commissioners held on June 18,
2009. Each Commissioner reviewed discussions held with their
respective departments and exchanged details of those meetings. On

would review the various committees they participate in and provide

Prosecutor Greg Zempel provided an update on correspondence received
from Island County regarding State ex rel. Banks v. Susan Drummond,
et al;, Island County Superior Court and RCW 36.32.200 Employment of
Special Attorneys. Mr. Zempel said the Island County Prosecutors
office is looking for a factual statement from other counties within
the State outlining information such as how often have they have
utilized the statute. He asked if he should draft one for
consideration to be signed by his office and the Kittitas County
Board of Commissioners. Commissioner Jewell explained that although
he appreciated the relationship with the Prosecutors office he did
not believe the County should get involved, as it seems to be more
of a political issue. Chairman Berndt agreed and therefore there was
no action taken by the Board.
