WASHINGTON—The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission will hold its next regular meeting virtually on Jan. 28 from 9 a.m. to about 4:15 p.m.
At the meeting, the Commission will hear public comment, discuss and take action on the U.S. Navy’s proposal to use 28 state parks for wargames and special operations training.
The Commission will also recognize and document their conclusion that the agency director performed satisfactorily in 2020 and that a meaningful evaluation process was used to reach it.
The Commission will hear updates on the status of 2019-21 biennium revenues and spending and projected budgets for the 2021-23 season. The status of the remote 2021 Legislative Session will also be a topic of discussion. Following that, the Commission will approve priorities for 2021.
In other business, the Commission will elect officers for 2021, transfer the gavel to the 2021 Commission chair, recognize 2020 Commission Chair Steve Milner and determine committee assignments for commissioners.
