Klickitat County Has Until September 27 To Appeal Tract D Decision

Klickitat County Commissioners have until September 27 to decide whether to appeal a federal judge’s ruling that the long disputed Tract D in the Glenwood area is within the boundaries of the Yakama Reservation.  Commissioner David Sauter says they will discuss that topic during their upcoming meetings over the next two weeks.  Commissioners held a special meeting in Glenwood to answer residents’ questions in light of the ruling, which was focused on law enforcement jurisdiction.  Sauter says emergency services personnel will still be sent out regardless of who calls 9-1-1, and other county services should remain status quo.  He also says County roads will still be maintained and plowed by Klickitat County, and they will be still be collecting taxes as they always have.  Sauter notes this is not an unprecedented situation in Washington, and the Commission is reaching out to their counterparts in those locations for guidance.
