County staff to review Rodeo Arena change order; $5,000 emergency fund amendment proposed

Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners · January 15, 2026

Summary

Patti Stacey circulated a Rodeo Arena change order (COP# 12-15) and will meet the contractor Jan. 16 to separate necessary items from those that can wait; no action was taken. County Administrator Zack DeHaven proposed allocating $5,000 in the Emergency Management fund for expenses prior to an official declaration and will return with a budget amendment.

At the Jan. 15 finance study session, staff discussed several other-business items including a change order for the Rodeo Arena and a small emergency fund allocation.

Patti Stacey said she received Change Order Package (COP) #12-15 for the Rodeo Arena that day and is scheduled to meet the contractor on Jan. 16; Commissioners Osiadacz and Wright asked Stacey to review which items are necessary now and which can be deferred. No action was taken during the study session on the change order.

Separately, County Administrator Zack DeHaven proposed allocating $5,000 in the Emergency Management fund to cover costs from emergency situations that occur prior to an official declaration. DeHaven said he will return to the next finance study session with a budget amendment for the $5,000 allocation.

Why it matters: the Rodeo Arena is a county capital project where change orders can affect schedule and budgets; a small emergency allocation would permit immediate, limited spending to respond to incidents that arise before a formal emergency declaration is processed.

Next steps: Patti Stacey will meet with the contractor and provide staff recommendations; DeHaven will return with a proposed $5,000 budget amendment at the next finance study session.
