Kittitas County adopts 2026 annual road program, will send report to County Road Administration Board
Summary
The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt Resolution 2025‑211 approving the county’s 2026 annual road program, which staff said emphasizes maintenance while preserving a realistic six‑year capital plan and seeking grant funding. The program will be filed with the County Road Administration Board.
The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution 2025‑211 during a public work study session, approving the county’s 2026 annual road program, county staff said.
Josh Frederickson, Public Works, told the board the program includes three components: the first year of capital road projects (including several grant‑related items), an annual maintenance plan covering chip sealing, road ditching and clearing, and a list of planned equipment purchases and major repairs. "The road program includes 3 components," Frederickson said, and the department plans maintenance spending while pursuing grant funding.
Frederickson said the adopted report will be submitted to the County Road Administration Board to meet reporting requirements. A commissioner moved to approve Resolution 2025‑211; a second was recorded and the chair announced the motion passed by voice vote.
The board did not enumerate further changes at the meeting. Frederickson said the program is intended to present a realistic six‑year plan that prioritizes maintaining existing pavement and infrastructure while pursuing outside grant dollars for capital items.
Staff did not provide a line‑item breakdown or total dollar figure for the adopted program during the session; those details were not specified in the meeting record and, per staff, will accompany the formal program filing to the County Road Administration Board.
