Kittitas County commissioners hold two short executive sessions on potential litigation; no action recorded
Summary
Kittitas County held a Feb. 9, 2026 special meeting composed of two brief executive sessions called under RCW 42.30.110(i) to discuss potential litigation; the minutes list county staff and legal counsel as participants and record that no formal action was taken. The meeting adjourned at 11:18 a.m.
Kittitas County Board of Commissioners convened a special meeting Feb. 9, 2026, and entered two short executive sessions to discuss potential litigation under RCW 42.30.110(i). The minutes record that no formal action was taken.
The minutes state that at 11:02 a.m. the board entered an executive session for 10 minutes "to discuss with Legal Counsel matters relating to Agency enforcement actions, or ... litigation or potential litigation," and named Treasurer Amy Cziske, Deputy Prosecutor Molly McDowell, Accounting Assistant Mindy Delozier and Chief Deputy Darren Higashiyama as participants. The record says no action was anticipated following that session.
The minutes show the board reconvened out of that executive session and then at 11:12 a.m. recessed again into a second executive session for five minutes under the same statutory authority and with the same staff and counsel listed. The minutes again state no action was anticipated and that the board reconvened out of executive session before adjourning at 11:18 a.m.
The document contains inconsistent name references in its attendance lines: an early line refers to "Chairman Osiadacz," while later entries identify "Chairman Wright" and include the name Cory Wright; the minutes do not resolve that discrepancy. Because the text is the official minutes, this article reports the names and times as they appear in the record without resolving the inconsistency.
No votes, motions, public testimony, or substantive policy actions appear in the minutes. The entry cites RCW 42.30.110(i) as the statutory basis for the sessions; the minutes do not provide further detail about the specific litigation, parties, or anticipated steps.
The commissioners' minutes indicate the special meeting lasted roughly from 11:00 a.m. to 11:18 a.m., and that the sessions were limited in duration and scope; there is no notation of follow-up assignments or scheduled public hearings in the text.
