RECORD OF THE PROCEEDINGS

Open Session resumed at 9:40 AM.
Discussion – Tonasket EMS District – Commissioners
Commissioner Peterson explained that she
attended the recent Tonasket EMS District Advisory Board Meeting. The Advisory
Board recommends having a professional services agreement with the Tonasket
Hospital to do the medical billings and Steve Mattson, Accountant, to do all the
accounts payable and receivable, payroll and financial statements. Any
delinquent accounts would be turned over to Armada for collection. The Board
agreed with the Advisory Board’s recommendation.
Discussion – Nonvoter Bonding – Commissioners
Commissioner Lampe explained that, after some
thought, he feels that the county should only bond for the Public Works projects
and not bond for the $800,000 for the HVAC or the $200,000 for other county
facility projects. This would eliminate obligating the .08 funds to repay the
bond. Commissioner Hover will contact Del Shove to explain the commissioners’
position regarding the bond.
Motion – Consent Agenda – Commissioners

agenda items 1-7 with the exception of item #3 pending legal review and changes
