The Thurston County Bar Association presents … The November Member Luncheon & CLE!
Local Government Condemnation Authority and Fish Habitat Projects presented by Joe Panesko, Senior Counsel at the Washington State Office of the Attorney General Mr. Panesko will discuss a 2008 Court of Appeals decision, Cowlitz County v. Martin, which denied a county ’ s authority to condemn land for a project to replace a fish - blocking culvert under a county road, and then he will discuss a new September 2024 Supreme Court decision in City of Sammamish v. Titcomb Jr., which severely narrowed the scope of the Cowlitz County decision, in favor of local government authority to condemn property even where fish habitat improvement may be one component of the project. The State and 12 Tribes co - signed an amici brief in the City of Sammamish case.
