The day will begin with an update on the 2025 legislative session, presented by lobbyist Bruce Bereano. This session aims to inform the commissioners about new legislative developments impacting county governance. Following this, financial matters will take center stage with a request for approval of fiscal year 2025 budget adjustments to the Washington County Public Schools’ general fund. The revisions, endorsed by the Board of Education’s Finance Committee, reflect reallocations across various categories, balancing updated revenue projections with adjustments in spending.
Further into the session, commissioners will consider amendments to the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO) and the Building Excise Tax Ordinance (BETO). These changes are intended to resolve inconsistencies between the two regulations, particularly regarding school mitigation fees. The proposal seeks to separate the ordinances to clarify the fee structure for developers and ensure more efficient funding of public infrastructure improvements.

Beyond fiscal policy, the agenda includes a review of several procurement and grant approvals. These encompass purchasing personal protective equipment for emergency services, agreements for new software, and contracts for landfill leachate hauling and electronics recycling.
