Summary

Kittitas County Assessor Mike Hougardy told commissioners he will request a resolution at the next regular meeting to update application fees for Current Use Classification of Farm and Agricultural Lands and Designated Forest Lands and reviewed the basis for the proposed change.

Mike Hougardy, identified in the minutes as the county assessor, told the Board of County Commissioners that he will present at the upcoming regular BoCC session and request consideration of a resolution to update application fees for the Current Use Classification of Farm and Agricultural Lands and Designated Forest Lands.

Hougardy reviewed the basis for the proposed fee update and asked whether the board had questions prior to the formal meeting, saying he wanted to surface the rationale in advance. Commissioner Laura Osiadacz asked that fee updates be brought forward more frequently so increases would be less significant when they occur.

The minutes record this item as a preview for the regular agenda; no formal vote or fee amounts were recorded in the Office Administration meeting minutes. The assessor’s submission is scheduled to appear at the Board’s regular session on Tuesday. The board did not adopt any fee changes during the office meeting.
