Boys and Girls Club requests $40,000 from Kittitas County to cover Community Hub permit costs
Summary
Ann Leichleiter, program director for the Boys and Girls Club, asked the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners for $40,000 to cover permit costs for a proposed Community Hub; commissioners expressed support and committed to include the project in the 2026 budget while the funding source remains to be identified.
Ann Leichleiter, program director for the Boys and Girls Club, asked the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners on July 24 for $40,000 to cover permit costs tied to a proposed "Community Hub." Commissioners present — Chair Laura Osiadacz and Commissioners Cory Wright and Brett Wachsmith — expressed support for the project.
The request clarified that previous county funding had not been allocated to this specific project. The board made a nonbinding commitment to include funding for the Community Hub in the county's 2026 budget, but the source of the funds was not identified during the meeting.
Commissioners asked staff to identify potential funding sources and program-specific details before finalizing any allocation. No formal motion or vote was taken at the session; the commitment recorded in the minutes was directional (to propose funding in the 2026 budget) rather than an approved appropriation.
If county staff or commissioners provide a funding source or a formal budget amendment later, that would represent the next procedural step. For now, the board's action was to support the project conceptually and direct staff to follow up on funding options.
