BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Carolyn Gallaway, Clerk of the Board
DATE: October 7,2024
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION and POTENTIAL ACTION re: Gardiner Community Center
Executive Board
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
In November 1979, the Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution No. 106-79
establishing guidelines for operating the Gardiner Community Center and making appointments
to the board.
The resolution has been repealed and replaced throughout the years via Resolution No. 64-07
which addressed absenteeism, Resolution No. 4-12 which gave authority to the executive board
to appoint a member during the absence of another member, and finally Resolution No. 20-17
which established staggered calendar-year Board terms and clarified the duties of officers.
Pursuant to these resolutions,the Gardiner Community Center notified the Commissioners'
Office of recommended membership changes in February and September, 2024.
ANALYSIS:
There is currently no staff monitoring the Gardiner Community Center Board meetings, and
there is no Commissioner sitting on the Board. The Gardiner Community Center operates
similarly to the Port Townsend Senior Association; we do not provide County staff to monitor or
oversee their meetings, nor appoint their governing board members.
Staff is requesting that the Commissioners review the need to continue appointing members to
serve on the Gardiner Community Center Board. If the Board decides to rescind the resolutions
pertaining to appointments to the Gardiner Community Center Board,the current 2023-2025
operating agreement remains in effect.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact, but if the Commissioners decide to continue making appointments to the
Gardiner Community Center Board, staff will need to provide OPMA guidance, agenda
preparation, and coordinate posting of their meeting agendas and minutes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and take-action to rescind the following Resolutions: No. 106-79,No. 64-07,No. 4-12,
and No. 20-17 so that the Gardiner Community Center may make their own decisions pertaining
to their board structure and members. The Gardiner Community Center Board concurs with this
recommendation.
