Janicki appointed to state road administration board

SKAGIT COUNTY – Skagit County Commissioner Lisa Janicki is one of three recent appointees to the County Road Administration Board (CRAB).

On May 6 the Washington State Association of Counties (WSAC) Board of Directors appointed Janicki to the board, along with King County Councilmember Kathy Lambert and Pierce County Engineer Brian Stacy.

CRAB was created by the Legislature in 1965 to provide statutory oversight of Washington's 39 county road departments. The agency is funded from a portion of the counties' fuel tax that is withheld for state supervision, and from a small portion of the two grant programs that it administers.

The mission of CRAB is to “preserve and enhance the transportation infrastructure of Washington counties by providing standards of good practice, fair administration of funding programs, visionary leadership, and integrated, progressive, and professional technical services.”

The agency is governed by a nine-member board which meets quarterly and is comprised of six county commissioners/council-members and three county engineers.

“This appointment is a good alignment of my skill set with the needs of local government,” said Janicki. “I am excited to bring my private sector experience, working on large projects and with engineers, into this role with the County Road Administration Board.”
