01/08/2008: "CC Meets For 1st Time In '08', & In New Bld"

(County Council -Myhr absent- meets in one of the small meeting rooms in new bld)

Almost on schedule, the County Council held their first Regular Staff Meeting Council Work Session Monday morning in the new County Administrative Building. .

Staff has moved out of the court house into the new building (formerly know as the Carlson Building ) and as soon as the new Council Room furniture is installed -and the telecommunications installed- the council will start holding their meetings in the new building; in the meantime they will continue to hold the Regular Meetings in the court house.

County Administrator Pete Rose told the council he is looking forward to the many various county groups and advisory committees being able to use one of the new meeting rooms.

In addition to County use, the County and the Town of Friday Harbor have have signed a "letter of intent" to continue with negotiations that may lead to a leasing agreement allowing the Town some limited use of the new Council meeting room. It is hoped that the new large meeting room will be ready in the next week or two.
