Kittitas County staff proposes $1 million REET II contribution for Ellensburg Fieldhouse
Summary
County staff proposed committing $1,000,000 from Real Estate Excise Tax II (REET II) toward the Ellensburg Fieldhouse; commissioners expressed support and staff will return a resolution to the May 5 agenda for formal action.
Zack Dehaven, a county staff member, presented a proposal at the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners finance study session on April 16 to contribute $1,000,000 from Real Estate Excise Tax II (REET II) to the Ellensburg Fieldhouse plan. Commissioners Brett Wachsmith and Laura Osiadasz indicated support for the proposal during the meeting.
Pat Kelleher submitted emailed public comments concerning the Fieldhouse contribution that were entered into the record. No final vote or formal action was taken at the study session; Dehaven told the board he will return with a resolution to formalize the commitment on the May 5 agenda.
The proposal would use REET II revenues, a local real estate excise tax fund earmarked for capital projects. County staff did not present a formal motion or record a vote at this session. The board’s expression of support signals a plan to place the staff-prepared resolution on the next appropriate agenda for formal consideration.
