Kittitas County approves amendment allowing county signature on fisheries agreement tied to Ecology grant
Summary
The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2025‑138 to authorize the county’s signature on a first amendment to a memorandum of agreement with Mid‑Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group that clarifies roles for projects funded by a Department of Ecology grant.
Kittitas County commissioners on July 28 approved Resolution 2025‑138 authorizing the county to sign a First Amendment to the Memorandum of Agreement between the Mid‑Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group and the Kittitas County Flood Control District. Arden Thomas of Kittitas County Public Works briefed the board on the amendment and a related grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology.
Thomas told the commissioners that past projects with the Mid‑Columbia group have been successful and that the amendment is intended to provide clearer role definitions for both parties in administration of Ecology grant-funded projects. Commissioner Brett Wachsmith moved to approve the resolution and Chairman Laura Osiadacz seconded; the record shows the motion carried and the resolution was approved.
The resolution authorizes county staff to sign the First Amendment to the existing memorandum of agreement; the transcript does not specify dollar amounts or detailed project lists for the grant. Arden Thomas presented the amendment and grant as the basis for the request. The board did not record a roll-call vote tally in the transcript beyond noting the motion, second and approval.
The county clerk’s minutes record the formal approval as Resolution 2025‑138. The amendment and grant were presented as measures to clarify responsibilities between the county’s Flood Control District and the Mid‑Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group as they carry out Ecology‑funded projects.
