Public Works (Ryan Berge) stated the following: "I have <br />reviewed all of the information regarding the Ellensburg Triathlon <br />and Carey Lake Runs which is scheduled for July 23rd 2016 from <br />6:00am-1:00 p.m. I do not foresee any problems that could arise <br />on our part. However it may be a good idea to place some high <br />visible signs along Umptanum and Manastash road to warn the <br />traveling public of the contestants that will be sharing the road <br />with that day. I only say this because of the high traffic flow and <br />excessive speeds on these roads". He recommended approving the <br />events based on the following criteria: Local Advertisement in the <br />Daily Record/radio/physical posting two weeks in <br />advance to inform the traveling public of the upcoming event in <br />order to give them the choice to plan a different route during this <br />time period. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Approve the Special Event Application to hold 2016 Ellensburg <br />Olympic and Sprint Triathlon, including the Carey Lakes 10K and <br />5K Runs, (July 23, 2016) and grant their request for a waiver to <br />Kittitas County Code Chapters 5.20.100 Penal Bond -Bond of <br />Indemnity and Kittitas County Code Chapter 5.20.160 Closing <br />Hours, noting the Applicant follows through with the Public <br />Health and Public Works requirements. <br />HANDLING: BOCC staff to send letter to applicant of the Board's decision & <br />notice to County Departments. <br />ATTACHMENTS: Special Event Applications <br />Certificate of Liability Insurance <br />Memos from County Departments with recommendations <br />LEAD STAFF: Mandy Buchholz, Deputy Clerk of the Board
