Summary
Community Development Services Director Chad Bala told commissioners that HR joined discussions about a severance package, that the discussions "went well for the most part," and that employees have until Aug. 31, 2026, to accept the offer.
Chad Bala, Community Development Services director, told the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners during their Office Administration meeting on July 6, 2026, that staff-level discussions about a proposed severance package included Human Resources and generally "went well for the most part."
Bala said employees who were offered the package have until Aug. 31, 2026, to accept the offer. The director described HR as present for conversations with staff; the board did not take a formal vote on changes during the meeting.
The update was presented as part of routine department reporting; the board did not provide further directives in the record and no motion or vote on the severance package appears in the minutes. Commissioners will continue to receive department updates in subsequent Office Administration sessions.
