Commissioners approve short-term apple maggot spraying contract not to exceed $50,000
Summary
At the July 14 Kittitas County Office Administration meeting commissioners approved a professional services agreement with vendor 'Bugs and Flies' for apple maggot spraying services through Oct. 31, 2025, for an amount not to exceed $50,000; the motion carried 2-0.
The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners approved a professional services agreement with a vendor identified as "Bugs and Flies" to provide apple maggot spraying services, the minutes show.
According to the meeting record, the board approved the contract for the period shown in the minutes (the minutes list the contract term from July 14, 2025 through October 31, 2025) at an amount not to exceed $50,000. The motion was recorded as moved by the vice-chair and seconded by Chair Laura Osiadacz; the minutes state the motion "carried 2-0." The minutes do not consistently identify the vice-chair by the same surname earlier in the record; that inconsistency is noted in the meeting minutes and requires verification in the official roll call.
Why it matters: The contract funds seasonal pest control work to protect apple crops, and the authorized amount and vendor selection determine county spending and operational coverage for the growing season.
The minutes do not include a recorded breakdown of how the $50,000 maximum is allocated across sites or treatments, nor do they list contract terms beyond the service description and the not-to-exceed amount. The board signed the agreement as part of routine administration during the meeting.
