Kittitas County commissioners approve Solid Waste Director job description, tie role to pay range 29
Summary
The board approved a Solid Waste Director job description Feb. 17 and accepted an HR recommendation to assign the role to pay range 29; the county will post the opening internally first and commissioners will participate on the interview panel.
Kittitas County commissioners approved a job description for the county's Solid Waste Director during an Office Administration meeting on Feb. 17, 2026. The board voted unanimously to accept the description and move forward with recruitment procedures.
Facilities Director Patti Stacey said HR Director Killgore recommended tying the job description to pay range 29 and that the county would initially post the position internally. "We would like to post it internally to start with and see what comes of that," Stacey said, and the board agreed to take part in the interview panel.
Vice-Chairman Brett Wachsmith moved to approve the description; Commissioner Laura Osiadacz seconded and the motion carried 3-0. The minutes record the board's procedural decision but do not specify a timeline for the external posting or an official vacancy date.
The approval formalizes classification and pay-range guidance for the position and signals the board's intent to be directly involved in candidate interviews. The board also noted related public communication about Solid Waste Office relocation would be shared on the county's Facebook page the week of Feb. 17, 2026.
