Clallam County's Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is taking steps to address ongoing delays in legal reviews of proposed amendments to county bylaws and codes. During the meeting on September 2, 2025, board members expressed frustration over the backlog of recommendations awaiting legal approval, which has hindered progress on several initiatives.

The board discussed the need to reinvigorate a bylaws committee to explore various proposals, including the introduction of student representatives and adjustments to term lengths. These changes aim to enhance the board's efficiency and responsiveness to community needs. Board member Steven expressed interest in joining this subcommittee, indicating a collaborative approach to tackling these issues.

Additionally, the board acknowledged the challenges posed by staffing shortages in the county's legal department, which have contributed to delays in processing recommendations. The chief deputy civil prosecutor's involvement in multiple projects, alongside health issues affecting another attorney, has resulted in a backlog that affects various departments, including Parks and Recreation.

As the board continues to navigate these challenges, they remain committed to advancing their agenda and ensuring that community voices are heard in the decision-making process. The next steps will involve drafting the necessary amendments and pushing for timely reviews to facilitate progress on the board's initiatives.
