ACTION REQUESTED: Request to Approve a Resolution to Ratify the Chair's

BACKGROUND: Public Works is required to provide the County Road
Administration Board (CRAB) with an annual
certification covering administration, policies and
operations related to County Roads. Public Works is also
required to provide the CRAB with an annual
certification certifying Road Fund Expenditures for Fish
Passage Barrier Removal. Certifications submitted to
CRAB require the Board of County Commissioners
Chair signature.
INTERACTION:
In addition, annually the County Sheriff, County Auditor
and the Board Chair are required to certify traffic law
enforcement diversions from the Road Fund. The

documents. CRAB utilizes their Annual Reporting
System (CARS) for report submittal and signatures on
the Digital Submittal Certification. Paper copies of the
certification and signature sheet are no longer being
used.
At the March 30, 2026, Special Study Session, Public
Works staff requested the Chair of the Board of County
Commissioners execute the Digital Submittal
