County briefs commissioners on $20,000 Department of Commerce feasibility review for possible Public Facilities District
Summary
Kittitas County staff outlined a proposed $20,000 agreement with the Washington State Department of Commerce to fund an independent financial feasibility review required before forming a countywide Public Facilities District; the contract would be funded from distressed county sales and use tax and will be returned for ratification due to an agenda clerical error.
Joshua Fredrickson, a Public Works staff member, briefed the Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners on a proposed agreement with the Washington State Department of Commerce to pay for an independent financial feasibility review related to formation of a countywide Public Facilities District.
Fredrickson said the contract amount proposed by the Department of Commerce is $20,000 and that the contract would be funded with distressed county sales and use tax funds. He said the Department of Commerce would retain a third‑party consultant to perform the review and that the Conference of Governments had previously supported use of the funds for this purpose. Fredrickson described the review as a preliminary step to provide information for future Board consideration.
Because the item was not properly listed for action on the agenda, Fredrickson said the agreement would be brought back at a future meeting for ratification and signatures. The briefing did not include a board vote or approval of the contract funding.
