Voters in the Wahluke School District will decide the fate of a capital levy, and voters in Grant County Fire District 10 will have a chance to vote on a proposed change in the number of district commissioners, in a special election Feb. 9. ... Fire District 10 voters will decide whether to expand the board from three to five commissioners. The proposal comes after Grant County Fire District 10 merged with Grant County Fire District 11 in April 2020.
Each district had three commissioners, all of whom are serving now, and the board must have an odd number of commissioners.
All seats on a fire district commission are at-large, meaning any qualified person living in the district is eligible. Dedra Osborn, elections administrator in the Grant County Auditor’s Office, said it will be up to the commissioners to determine how the commission is readjusted from six to five members, if the proposal is approved.
