Should Thurston County add two more county commissioners?
Public hearing set on July 19
From The JOLT News:
“During its meeting Wednesday [June 29], the BOCC [Thurston Board of County Commissioners] set a public hearing on Tuesday, July 19 at the Thurston County Courthouse Complex Building 1, Room 280, to get comments from the residents so that the commissioners can approve a ballot measure that would appear in the November 8 general election.”
“County Manager Ramiro Chavez said if the resolution gets a majority of voter approval, elections for the two new members will be in 2023.
“’The county shall be divided into five commissioner districts so that each district shall comprise, as nearly as possible, one of one-fifth of the population of the county,’ said Chavez.”
