The Board of Yakima County Commissioners adopted a multi-item consent agenda during the July 22, 2025 regular meeting and separately approved an accounts payable warrant for McKinney Glass.
Julie Lawrence, the clerk of the board, read the items on the consent agenda into the record. After the reading, a commissioner moved to approve the consent agenda as read and another commissioner seconded; all commissioners present voted "aye" and the board adopted the consent agenda. The board then took a separate motion approving an accounts payable warrant for McKinney Glass, issue date 07/15/2025; that motion also passed unanimously among commissioners present.
Items read into the record on the consent agenda covered multiple departments; the text read aloud included (verbatim descriptions as read): Auditor payroll warrant certification (issue date 06/16/2025 through 06/30/2025); accounts payable warrant approval (issue date 06/15/2025); minutes from multiple work sessions and regular agenda meetings in June and July 2025; Resolution 175,2025 appointing Juliana Flores to the Town of Harrah Council; County Roads resolutions including Resolution 162,2025 (intention to vacate and abandon an unopened right of way and to set a public hearing date) and Resolution 163,2025 (authorizing advertisement for bids for purchase of winter maintenance sand); multiple public-services and facilities resolutions and agreements (including an agreement with Whitworth PLLC for appraisal services, authorizing a Facilities Services director to sign a change order for a fire alarm project, and authorizing the Water Resources Manager to sign a grant agreement with the Department of Ecology for the Cowichy Confluence Habitat Restoration Project); Human Services modification to the HOME-ARP grant agreement for additional funding; Noxious Weed Board resolution to collect liens pursuant to RCW 17.140.170; and other budget and personnel-related resolutions and labor agreements as read into the record.
The clerk stated that agenda items were available on the Yakima County website and that agenda items had been reviewed in prior work sessions. Commissioner McKinney was excused for the meeting; Commissioners Lindy and Curtis voted in favor of both motions on the record. No roll-call dissent or abstentions were recorded during the meeting minutes read on July 22.
Ending: The consent agenda and the McKinney Glass warrant were approved by voice vote. Several consent items include further steps (for example, public hearings to be set or advertisements for bids), which will proceed according to the descriptions read into the record; no additional deliberation of consent items occurred during the July 22 meeting.
