Kittitas County to reallocate Event Center funds for north lot improvements; sponsor caps total cost
Summary
Event Center Director Kady Porterfield told commissioners a new contractor proposed a different approach to rock-picking and dust abatement in the north lot. The quoted work would cost $10,623.09 plus taxes and requires reallocation of funds; a sponsorship deal limits combined dust abatement and rock-picking to under $30,000.
Event Center Director Kady Porterfield told the Board on July 28 that a planned rock-picking and dust-abatement project for the Event Center’s north lot needs a revised approach after the original contractor withdrew. A replacement contractor assessed the area and recommended a different method and equipment that Porterfield said would be more effective but falls outside currently approved project scopes.
Porterfield said the quoted cost for the proposed work is $10,623.09 plus applicable taxes and that the Event Center has available funds in the "Improvements Repair and Maintenance" line that would need to be reallocated to "Professional Services" to proceed. She also reported securing a sponsorship deal that will keep the combined dust-abatement and rock-picking costs for the total project at or below $30,000. Commissioner Brett Wachsmith expressed appreciation for securing the sponsor, and both commissioners indicated support for the budget reallocation.
Porterfield clarified that the quote does not include the Shady Acres area because that section is in decent condition.
