Kittitas County staff to set public hearings on proposed Title 10 traffic code fixes
Summary
Public Works staff told the Kittitas County commissioners they found inconsistencies in Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) relating to speed limits and roadway widths and asked to set public hearings; the board directed staff to schedule the hearings at a future agenda session.
Cameron Curtis, a Public Works staff member, told the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners on July 14 that staff had identified inconsistencies within Kittitas County Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic), including conflicting speed limits and roadway-width standards.
Curtis said correcting those inconsistencies would require changes to the county code and that two of the items would require public hearings. "To correct these inconsistencies two of the items will require public hearings and staff is seeking direction on moving forward to set said hearings," Curtis said.
Chairman Laura Osiadacz and Vice-Chairman Cory Wright were present for the briefing, and the board directed staff to move forward with setting the necessary public hearings at a future agenda session. The transcript records no formal motion or roll-call vote; the record describes the action as staff direction to schedule hearings.
Why it matters: Title 10 governs vehicles and traffic in the county; amendments could change posted limits and roadway standards that affect drivers, property owners and project designs. The county did not provide a timeline or specific ordinance language at the session.
Next steps: Staff will prepare the public-hearing notices and bring the items back on a future agenda for formal consideration and any subsequent vote. The transcript does not specify dates, ordinance numbers, or the exact sections of Title 10 to be amended.
