In 2010 funds were directed to the Innovation Partnership Zone (IPZ) to help start up the Central Washington Resource Energy Collaborative. Funding was to accumulate over the course of five years. The Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce requested the purchase of the building at 214 North Pennsylvania Ave. to serve economic development purposes. In 2015 COG met and recommended transfer of awarded 0.09 funds from the IPZ to the Professional Services Incubator Project in Cle Elum. The business incubator project moved forward, and the building located at 214 North Pennsylvania Avenue in Cle Elum was purchased using the Distressed County Sales and Use Tax. A Quit Claim Deed was signed March 15, 2015, by both the Chamber and the County. The Quit Claim Deed (Exhibit 1) signed by the County includes a condition that the building is to be used for economic development or business enhancement otherwise the building would revert to Kittitas County. DISCUSSION: Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce has requested removing the use condition included on the Quit Claim Deed. Working with the Chamber and the County Prosecuting Attorney Office, a path forward is for the Chamber to reimburse the County for the funds used in the incubator purchase. The purchase price and fees total to $185,504.80 and were allocated from the Distressed Sales and Use Tax(Fund 108). FISCAL IMPACT: Purchase price of building would be returned to Fund 108 (Public Facilities) and made available for future projects.
