KITTITAS COUNTY, Wash. — The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners voted July 15 to declare a portion of the sheriff’s office inventory surplus, approving Resolution No. 2025-132 after a brief public hearing.
Jill Beedle, lead law enforcement clerk, told the board the sheriff’s office has "11 vehicles, 55 firearms and other miscellaneous equipment" recommended to be surplus to the county’s needs, and placed that inventory on the record for the board’s consideration.
The hearing was opened by Chairman Laura Osiadacz. The record notes one attendee requested to testify during the public hearing; the transcript does not record that person’s name. After the hearing was closed, Osiadacz moved to approve declaring the listed equipment surplus. The motion carried 2-0. Vice-Chairman Cory Wright, who participated via Webex, is recorded as voting in favor; Commissioner Brett Wachsmith was excused.
Resolution 2025-132 was listed in the meeting record as the formal action approving the surplus declaration. The transcript does not specify the intended disposition of the items (for example, sale, transfer, or disposal) or the timeline for any disposal. The meeting record shows the special meeting concluded at 2:02 p.m.
The action affects county property control and the sheriff’s office inventory; further administrative steps — such as identifying sale procedures, accepting bids, or transferring assets — were not detailed in the transcript.
