KITTITAS COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA STAFF REPORT AGENDA DATE: May 7, 2019 ACTION REQUESTED: Request to Approve a Special Event Application – 2019 Easton Memorial Day Celebration (May 25, 2019). BACKGROUND: The Commissioners office received a Special Event application to hold the annual Easton Memorial Day Parade on Saturday May 25, 2019. INTERACTION: The applicant is requesting a waiver to the following: Kittitas County Code Chapter 5.20.100 – Penal Bond – Bond of Indemnity - The applicant will provide proof of insurance & endorsements and believes that it should be adequate coverage, since their parade has proven to have no effect on the roads in the past. The applicant will NOT need a waiver to Kittitas County Code Chapter 5.20.160 – Closing Hours since their event is scheduled to begin at 8:00 a.m. and according to the County Code, events shall not be open to the public before the hour of 7:00 a.m. The permit fee has been paid and Staff has routed the application and received a recommendation of approval from the following departments & attached memos with specifics: Sheriff, Public Health, Public Works, Solid Waste, Auditor and Fire Marshal. The County Prosecutor was unable to provide feedback at the time of drafting the Staff Report since we hadn’t received the Certificate of Liability Insurance & Endorsements to review. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Event Application to hold the 2019 Easton Memorial Day Celebration on Saturday May 25, 2019. Public Works Department: 1. Local advertisement of event and detours in the local paper (NKC Tribune and Daily record) two week in advance to inform the traveling public of the upcoming event. 2. Certified traffic control personnel at intersection and any other area of concern to insure the safe movement of pedestrian and the motoring public. 3. Clearly marked detour routes and advanced warning signs of detours and traffic control personnel.
