Washington School District
A resolution to terminate revenue allocation area (resolution #2018-2) was brought before the board. This would terminate the revenue area but would leave the district and the current funds at the disposal of the board. Doug Hancey moved to approve resolution #2018-2 and Joseph West seconded the motion. It passed unanimously.
Mike Jensen and his associates presented their plan for the medical center. They suggested creating a place where several different aspects of health and wellness combine together in the same facility of one or more buildings. The biggest concern with the developer and the board is making sure there is enough parking for the building(s). The community care center wishes to have the facility up and running in 18 months.
