Kittitas County commissioners accept return of Chamber funds, authorize corrective quitclaim deed
Summary
The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2026-120 to accept the return of funds from the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce related to a 2015 business incubator purchase and authorized the chair to sign a Corrective Quit Claim Deed to remove a reversionary use restriction; funds will return to Fund 108.
Kittitas County commissioners voted to accept the return of funds previously awarded to the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce and authorized county leadership to execute a corrective quitclaim deed to remove a 2015 reversionary use restriction.
Joshua Fredrickson of Kittitas County Public Works briefed the board on the proposal, explaining that the original 2015 quitclaim deed included a use restriction tied to the earlier funding award and that returning the original funding amount would allow the county to record a Corrective Quit Claim Deed to remove that restriction. Fredrickson said the returned funds would be placed into Fund 108, the county's distressed sales and use tax fund. Amy McGuffin of the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce attended the meeting for questions.
Commissioner Laura Osiadacz moved to approve Resolution 2026-120 authorizing acceptance of the funding return from the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce and authorizing the chair to sign the Corrective Quit Claim Deed; Vice-Chairman Brett Wachsmith seconded the motion. The minutes record the motion passed; the minutes do not include a roll-call tally or dollar amount returned.
The action returns the previously awarded funds to county control and clears the recorded reversionary use restriction from the property record once the corrective deed is executed. The county will complete the deed-signing at the appropriate closing stage per the resolution language.
