Kittitas County approves signature on letter supporting Thorp Rural Outdoor Recreation Campus grant application
Summary
The Board authorized staff to sign and submit a letter of support for a Planning and Recreation Assistance (PRA) grant to the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office for the Thorp Rural Outdoor Recreation Campus and scheduled follow-up at the July 13 Office Administration meeting; the motion carried 3-0.
Amy McGuffin, chief executive officer of the local chamber, asked the Board to approve a letter of support for a Planning and Recreation Assistance (PRA) grant application to the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office for the proposed Thorp Rural Outdoor Recreation Campus. She told commissioners the letter states the County’s support for the project, notes alignment with the County’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) planning, and affirms willingness to provide technical assistance and to serve as lead applicant for future RCO implementation funding.
Vice-Chairman Brett Wachsmith moved to approve and authorize the Board’s signature on the letter and directed staff to place the item on the BoCC Office Administration Meeting agenda for Monday, July 13, 2026 at 9:00 a.m.; Commissioner Laura Osiadacz seconded and the motion carried 3-0. The minutes do not specify funding amounts, match requirements, or the precise role the County would play beyond being the lead applicant for future implementation funding if requested.
