BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
WORKSHOP AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Kate Dean, Commissioner,District 1
DATE: June 24, 2024
SUBJECT: State and Federal Legislative Priorities
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Jefferson County has engaged Strategies 360, a lobbying firm, for many years to help secure funding for
road projects, the Port Hadlock sewer and, more recently, Congressionally Directed Spending requests.
There has been a lot of turnover at S360, resulting in new and returning lobbyists representing Jefferson
County. This workshop is to acquaint all of the Commissioners with the S360 lobbyists and discuss how to
most effectively create and execute a legislative agenda.
ANALYSIS:
Commissioner Dean has been the primary point of contact for both the Olympia and DC S360
lobbyists. With her leaving at the end of 2024, the Board OtCounty Commissioners needs to appoint
a new contact and determine how to best use the services of our lobbyists.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the County.
RECOMMENDATION:
Participate in a workshop and discussion about how to work most effectively with lobbyists and plan ahead
for upcoming legislative priorities.
