Per WAC 136-12-020 the Grant County Board of County Commissioners are notifying you of
the county engineer vacancy that occurred on January 27, 2022. We have reviewed the
requirements within Chapter 136-12 WAC and are taking the steps that are required.
As it is not possible to immediately employ a new county engineer, we will be appointing an
acting county engineer per WAC 136-12-030. A resolution appointing Samuel Castro, a full-time
county employee, as the acting county engineer will be submitted for consideration today. As
Mr. Castro is not a licensed professional civil engineer, the Commissioners are working on
finding a licensed professional civil engineer for the interim period until a full-time licensed
professional county engineer is hired. We will notify you once we have designated an interim
licensed professional county engineer.
We have begun taking steps to find afull-time county engineer and will notify you as required
under WAC 136-12.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF GRANT COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

In accordance with RCW 36.80.010:

acting County Engineer to perform all functions of the officer of County Engineer not requiring a
professional civil engineer's license until such time as Grant County can secure a Licensed Professional
Engineer.
