WALLA WALLA—During a Board of County Commissioners meeting in 2020, members of the public requested that the Board of County Commissioners hold a public hearing to consider comments on the Christopher Columbus statue, which is currently located on the lawn in front of the Walla Walla County Courthouse. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of County Commissioners decided to hold a public meeting at a date to be announced. The Board of County Commissioners planned to receive public comment once in-person meetings could resume regarding the statue of Christopher Columbus.
The board, in an open session on August 9, discussed having a public evening meeting on August 23, 2021, but after further discussion and seeing a rise in COVID-19 cases in Walla Walla County, the board decided to receive public comment via email, or mail regarding the statue of Christopher Columbus.
The Board of County Commissioners will receive public comment via email at columbus@co.walla-walla.wa.us
And by mail at Walla Walla County Commissioners, PO BOX 1506, Walla Walla, WA 99362.
The deadline to submit public comment is September 13, 2021. The Board encourages members of the public to submit their comments by email, or mail and these comments will be reviewed by the Board for further consideration.
