BOCC Roslyn Water Project—Concerns The current COG recommendation provides very little leverage for the project. The proposal requests$1,500,000 in COG funds with only $125,000 in other funding, meaning the overwhelming share of funding would come from distressed sales tax dollars. The funding request is primarily to repair an existing water system that suffers from years of deferred maintenance. While maintenance is necessary, the proposal does not address the core structural concern: the water district's supply is subject to curtailment. 1 Before significant public funds are committed to infrastructure repairs, a firm and reliable water source should be secured first. Investing heavily in storage or distribution improvements is questionable if the system may not have water available during curtailment periods. The proposal also lacks several basic pieces of information: • No discussion of how many customers are served by the water district. • No project implementation plan or timeline. • No explanation of what specific invoices Public Works would pay or when work would occur Under the current arrangement, County Public Works serves only as contract administrator and invoice processor, yet no clear scope of work has been presented. Given the regional nature of water planning, City of Ellensburg Water Services should be consulted through the COG process to review the proposal and provide guidance on best practices and potential long-term solutions. As presented, the project resembles putting Flex Seal on a leaking tank.Yet if curtailment occurs this summer, the tank may have no water in it to store. Until the fundamental issue of secure water supply is addressed, committing $1.5 million in public funds appears premature. Regards PatKelleher 2 are managed in kund IV?3 by rubtic Works. DISCUSSION: At their February 18, 2026 regularly scheduled COG meeting, COG received requests for funding of two projects. Funding request is for the use of the Distressed County Sales and Use Tax. The City of Roslyn presented to COG their proposal for repair and replacement of the City's clear wells. The City of Roslyn has two clear wells which are part of their water Page I of 2 Public Works"Work Session Staff Report',2026 infrastructure which serves both the City of Roslyn and Water District 2 (Ronald). The clear wells provide disinfection contact time and equalizing storage for their water system. Repairs are required to one clear well and the second clear well needs to be replaced. The City of Roslyn was awarded $125,000.00 from the Public 'Works Board to assist with the project. COG supported the City of Roslyn request of up to $1,500,000.00 of Distressed County Sales and Use Tax for repairs and replacement of their clear wells. Also at the February 18, 2026 regular meeting of COG also received an update of the CWU Technology Transfer Center Feasibility (Old Heat) project. COG initially supported the project through matching funds to the Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board(CERB)grant. COG continued to express their support of the project by recommending an additional $20,000.00 of Distressed County Sales and Use 'Tax for expanding work on the project, This work includes a construction cost estimate for developing architecture plans for the Old Heat building into a warm shell and developing the capital stacking framework which will help develop private-public partnerships for future build out of the building. 3 C, KITTITAS COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT AGENDA DATE: March 9, 2026 ACTION REQUESTED: Request to approve a Resolution authorizing Board Chair signature on deeds for additional Right of Way on Bullfrog Road BACKGROUND: In 2002 the Cle Elum City Council approved a Master Plan and a Development Agreement to govern the future development of land located in the western part of Cle Elum, for a project known as Bullfrog Flats. A portion of the project abuts Bullfrog Road, a County Road. This Bullfrog Flats development is a mixed-use development including residential units. On March 25, 2025 the Cle Elum City Council approved the master plat, boundary line adjustment and three preliminary plat phases submitted by Bullfrog Flats, LLC. To mitigate traffic impacts resulting from the development on Bullfrog Road, a roundabout is to be constructed at one of the entrances to the development. Public Works has been working with the developer and their engineer on the roundabout plans. Additional right-of-way has been identified as needed for the construction of the project. Currently Bullfrog Road has 60-feet of right-of-way, which is insufficient for the proposed roundabout. Bullfrog Flats, LLC owns property on the south side of Bullfrog Road and Suncadia Community Council owns property on the north side of the road. The developer has worked to obtain additional right-of-way to accommodate the roundabout and desires to provide this to the County. The additional right-of-way area will be sufficient to construct and maintain the roundabout. INTERACTION: Public Works, Prosecuting Attorney Office, Bullfrog Flats LLC RECOMMENDATION: Approve a resolution authorizing Board Chair signature on dees.

REQUEST TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING BOARD CHAIR SIGNATURE ON DEEDS FOR ADDITINOAL RIGHT OF WAY ON BULLFROG ROAD Joshua Fredrickson requested the Board of County Commissioners approve a resolution authorizing the Board Chair to sign deeds for acquisition of additional right-of-way on Bullfrog Road. Joshua Fredrickson explained that the request is associated with the Bullfrog Flats development in the City of Cle Elum. Although the development is processed through the City of Cle Elum, Kittitas County has jurisdiction over Bullfrog Road. A traffic study identified impacts from the development, including the need for a roundabout at one of the proposed intersections. The roundabout would be constructed at the developer' s expense, subject to County review and approval. Joshua Fredrickson stated that the existing right-of-way is approximately 60 feet, which is insufficient for the proposed roundabout. The developer worked with t 2026-03-09 MINUTES RITTITAS COUNTY CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENTS PUBLIC FACILITIES FUND 2026 Joshua Fredrickson presented recommendations from the Conference of Governments (COG) regarding Public Facilities Fund (Fund 108) . City of Roslyn - Clear Well Project Joshua Fredrickson presented a recommendation for funding related to the City of Roslyn clear well replacement and repair project. Roslyn' s water system uses two clear wells for chlorine contact time and pressure equalization. Joshua Fredrickson reported that one clear well requires full replacement and the second requires substantial repair. The structures were described as being in poor condition, with cracking, leakage, and visible deterioration. Joshua Fredrickson noted that Roslyn' s water system also serves Water District No. 2 / Ronald. The total project cost was reported at just over $1.5 million. COG recommended funding of up to $1.5 million. Board of County Commissioners discussed the condition of the facilities, the significance of the infrastructure need, available funding, and the importance of ensuring long-term utility reliability. Joshua Fredrickson explained that the amount would be capped and that final costs would depend on bid results and any additional funding sources obtained. CWU Technology Transfer Center / Old Heat Building Joshua Fredrickson also presented to the Board of County Commissioners a COG recommendation for $20, 000 for the CWU Technology Transfer Center / Old Heat Building project. Joshua Fredrickson explained that previous feasibility work had been supported through CERB funding, and that the next phase would include updated architectural planning, warm shell planning, and development of a capital stacking plan to support future public-private investment. Joshua Fredrickson described the project as an economic development effort intended to connect University research and faculty expertise with industry and innovation opportunities. NO OTHER BUSINESS 2026-03-09 MINUTES KITTITAS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS PUBLIC WORKS—BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT STUDY SESSION DATE: March 9,2026 TOPIC: Portion of Innsbruck Drive Road Vacation Request ACTION REQUESTED: Direct Staff to prepare enabling documents and to schedule a Public Hearing LEAD STAFF: Joshua Fredrickson RECOMMENDATION: Prepare enabling documents and schedule the required public hearing regarding the proposed right-of-way vacation. BRIEFING SUMMARY: • Innsbruck Drive was established as part of the Hyak Estates Plat • Hyak Estates Plat dedicated to the use of the public all roads, streets and alleys within the plat ■ Kittitas County Resolution 96-40 created a Road Improvement District(RID) for an area which included the Hyak Estates Plat + Once road improvements were complete, the roads within the RID became part of the County Road System • Lot owner desires vacation of a portion of the right-of-way ■ Public Works (PW) does not support the requested road right-of-way vacation • Kittitas County Code Chapter 12.10 and RCW 36.87 identifies road vacation of County Roads BACKGROUND: The Hyak Estates Plat was approved in 1967 which included 136 lots and multiple roadways, including Innsbruck Drive (Exhibit 1). The original plat dedicated the roads, streets and alleys within the plat for the use of the public. At the time of plat approval, the County did not adopt the roadways as on-system roadways. In 1996 a Road Improvement District(RID) was approved which included the Hyak Estates Plat. Through resolution 96-40 the RID was established and upon completion of the improvements the roadways within the RID became part of the County Road System. Through the RID process, Innsbruck Drive became County Right-of-Way. Innsbruck Drive is a dead-end roadway which does not have a standard turnaround constructed. Page 1 of 4 Public Works Study Session Staff Report 2026 ' s DISCUSSION: An application to vacate a portion of the Innsbruck Drive right-of-way was received by Public Works (Exhibit 2). The location of the proposed vacation is the area fronting Lot 71 of the Hyak Estates Plat. Kittitas County Code 12.10 indicates that a Public Hearing would be used to consider the road vacation request. At the Public Hearing a Director's Report will be presented. The Director's Report is to include the following: 1. Whether the County Road should be vacated and abandoned 2. Whether the same is in use or has been in use 3. The condition of the road 4. Whether it will be advisable to preserve it for the County Road system in the future 5. Whether the public will benefit by its vacation and abandonment 6. A determination by appraisal of the fair market value of the area sought to be vacated 7. The classification of the road area according to the type and number of expenditures made and the nature of the County's interest therein 8. Whether the proposed area to be vacated contains utilities 9. All other matters which will be of interest to the Board The area sought for vacation is currently right-of-way and does not have a road constructed. This is located at the end of the road and the right-of-way currently dedicated is a 45-ft radius from the center of the roadway. Vacation of the right-of-way would preclude any future improvements to the turnaround. FISCAL IMPACTS: The applicant has paid PW's road vacation application fee of$3,888.00 ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit 1: Hyak Estates Plat with the proposed right-of-way vacation location highlighted Exhibit 2: Innsbruck Drive Road Vacation Application Page 2 of 4 Public Works Study Session Staff Report 2026 t EXHIBIT 1: Hyak Estates Plat with the proposed right-of-way vacation location highlighted Page 3 of 4 Public Works Study Session Staff Report 2026 r HYAK ESTATES SECTION 15, TWR 22 N, R II E, W.M.

This portion of the roadway has never been constructed, paved, or improved in any manner; b. The right-of-way has remained unused for vehicular or public travel for decades; c. The topography of the site consists of a steep hillside, making future road construction impractical and cost-prohibitive; d. Adequate roadway access and vehicle turnaround areas exist on the improved roadway immediately north of the subject area. 7. The continued retention of the right-of-way imposes a maintenance and liability burden on the County without providing a corresponding public benefit.

These funds are for the purpose of supporting economic growth and financing Public Facilities including but not limited to, bridges, roads, domestic and industrial water facilities, sanitary sewer facilities. Kittitas County's Public Facilities Fund (108) provides the mechanism for investing distressed county sales and use tax in Kittitas County. These funds are utilized to support economic development activities and construction of public facilities. Kittitas County Conference of Governments (COG) recommends award of Funds which are managed in Fund 108 by Public Works. DISCUSSION: At their February 18, 2026 regularly scheduled COG meeting, COG received requests for funding of two projects. Funding request is for the use of the Distressed County Sales and Use Tax. The City of Roslyn presented to COG their proposal for repair and replacement of the City's clear wells. The City of Roslyn has two clear wells which are part of their water Page 1 of 2 Public Works"Work Session Staff Report",2026 infrastructure which serves both the City of Roslyn and Water District 2 (Ronald). The clear wells provide disinfection contact time and equalizing storage for their water system. Repairs are required to one clear well and the second clear well needs to be replaced. The City of Roslyn was awarded $125,000.00 from the Public Works Board to assist with the project. COG supported the City of Roslyn request of up to $1,500,000.00 of Distressed County Sales and Use Tax for repairs and replacement of their clear wells. Also at the February 18, 2026 regular meeting of COG also received an update of the CWU Technology Transfer Center Feasibility (Old Heat) project. COG initially supported the project through matching funds to the Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) grant. COG continued to express their support of the project by recommending an additional $20,000.00 of Distressed County Sales and Use Tax for expanding work on the project. This work includes a construction cost estimate for developing architecture plans for the Old Heat building into a warm shell and developing the capital stacking framework which will help develop private-public partnerships for future build out of the building.
