11:00 a.m. —12:00 p.m. C Young, Development Services Update
• Mr. Young went through his staff report.
• The Gorge Amphitheater/Live Nation Concerts were discussed. Noise, cell phone service and
traffic are an issue.
• Sheriff's Office and Prosecuting Attorney's Office staff attended to discuss the Fire Marshal
position. There is a meeting scheduled 12/7 with the Fire Districts to discuss terminating the
program. The fire investigation program was never codified. And there is a potential liability for
providing this service. Development Services staff were providing these services, only certified
to do this is the Fire Marshal, Nathan Poplawski. As of 1/1/23 this program will be terminated.
Fire Districts have an obligation as well (RCW 43.44.050). Historically, Fire Districts would call
the Fire Marshal's Office to investigate. Fire Districts must determine cause first. Currently,
Title 15 of the Grant County Code is reserved for updating who is responsible for fire
investigations within the County. Rebekah Kaylor checked in with the Washington State Patrol
Fire Investigations Supervisor, who stated funding for this program has been pulled. And they
are short staffed as well. Chris Young is working on this and would appreciate everyone's
patience. The stakeholders would have appreciated more of a heads up.
