Klickitat County Commissioners are starting their 2018 budget work. Commissioner David Sauter says the County is in “decent” fiscal shape thanks in part to landfill revenues, and department heads are being asked to submit status quo budgets with no major additions or cuts. Sauter says they are starting to examine the possibility of combining the many courthouse annex locations they have in Goldendale into one facility, noting most of them are aging buildings with rising maintenance costs. He adds the County recently an estimate of $450,000 to replace the roof on Courthouse Annex 1. Sauter did say the main courthouse would not be impacted by any new construction.
