O CHS°- MB E of <br />COMMERCE <br />March 14, 2017 <br />Kittitas County Conference of Governments <br />c/o Board of Kittitas County Commissioners <br />205 W. Sth, Suite 108 <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />Re. Change to COG Funding for Ellensburg Incubator Building <br />Dear Conference of Governments: <br />In October 2016, The Conference of Governments awarded $63,000 to the City of Ellensburg for roof <br />replacement at the City's Ellensburg Business Incubator, 1000 Prospect Street. The Chamber <br />administers the building for the City. As work is about to commence, the final bid for the project has <br />come in about $10,000 dollars less than the initial bid that was approved by COG. <br />City Manager John Akers and I see this as an opportunity to replace the building's antiquated and leaky <br />swamp coolers, which frankly should have been included in the initial request to COG. The coolers are <br />integrated into the roof structure and replacement with new coolers at later time will require opening <br />the new roof in at least 5 locations. It will also cost considerably more. We therefore request that any <br />surplus funds on the project be approved for replacement of swamp coolers concurrent with the roofing <br />installation. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jim Ar ong <br />C.E.O. <br />jim@kittitascountychamber.com <br />609 N MAIN STREET I ELLENSBURG, WA 98926 1 OFFICE: 509-925-2002 1 TOLL FREE: 888-925-2204 1 FAX: 509-962-6148 <br />info@kittitascountychamber.com I www.kittitascountychamber.com <br />
