The three Jefferson County commissioners will consider switching to a biennial county budget when they meet at 9 a.m. Monday.
The meeting will be in commissioners’ chambers at the Jefferson County Courthouse, 1820 Jefferson St., Port Townsend.
A public hearing on biennial budgeting is set for 11 a.m.
Biennial budgeting instead of annual budgeting would reduce demands on elected officials and county departments by eliminating one full budget formulation cycle and replacing it with a mid-biennium budget review, staff members said.
Commissioners also will consider approving a new phone system for county offices.
A VoIP phone system would replace the present Legacy PBX system. Commissioners are asked to approve a contract with Strategic Technology Services, LLC.
Implementation would cost a little more than $36,000 and monthly service charges would add up to $53,256 annually, which staff members say is a savings of $58,000 per year.
Commissioners also will hear a report on the state Department of Natural Resources fourth quarter county income, conduct a hearing on declaring some county property surplus, and conduct an executive session to discuss strategy or position for collective bargaining.
At 1:30 p.m., commissioners will be briefed on the Jefferson County Parks and Recreation Advisory Board capital plan and on 4-H and the after school program.
Items on the consent agenda include:
• An amendment of a water quality monitoring agreement, adding $7,852 for a total of $47,852.
• An additional amount of $2,616 for a total of $122,942 for consulting services for the Salmon Creek Bridge, West Uncus Road project.
