Kittitas County commissioners approve consent agenda covering contracts, grants and procurement notices
Summary
At their Feb. 3 meeting the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners approved a consent agenda that included contract renewals, change orders, a hotel–motel tax distribution and notices to bid for roadway materials; votes were taken by voice and the board recorded the motion as passed.
Kittitas County commissioners on Feb. 3 approved a consent agenda that bundled a series of routine contracts, grant distributions and procurement actions.
The board, convened at 10 a.m., approved a service agreement with WWB Manufacturing for rodeo-arena timing services for $76,534.62, a package of change orders for the Cascade Cinegold project addressing electrical and civil revisions and additional yard hydrants, and a request to advertise bids for transfer-station driveway improvements. Katie Porterfield, events center director, told the board the WWB Manufacturing agreement matches the amount the board approved in the earlier bid award: “the total amount that you approved is $76,534.62.”
The consent agenda also included finance and grant items. Zachary Haven of the auditor’s office presented a resolution adopting a 12.25% indirect cost rate for central services, down from last year’s 13%. Lisa Bugnate, clerk for the consolidated lodging tax committee, presented the recommended distribution of the 2026 lodging-tax grants, saying applications totaled $989,573.66 and the committee narrowed awards to $480,887.39, with the county’s share recorded as $341,015.40.
Departmental administrative items were included as well. A public-health accountant requested a departmental internal indirect rate of 20%—an increase from 10% the prior year—attributed to the addition of a deputy director and lower COVID-era funding. Public Works requested authority to issue the annual call for bids for roadway materials including crack sealant, rock, liquid asphalt and asphalt materials. Josh Frederickson of Public Works summarized the solicitation plan for the 2026 year.
A single motion to approve the consent agenda was made and the chair called for a voice vote; the meeting record shows the motion passed with board members answering “aye.” The motion covered the listed contracts, resolutions and procurement notices; individual roll-call tallies and seconds were not recorded in the transcript.
