For the 2019 <br />plan update, the planning team made a presentation at a stakeholder meeting on July 16, 2018 to kick off <br />the update process and solicit planning partners. Key meeting objectives were as follows: <br />• Provide an overview of the purpose and process of hazard mitigation planning <br />• Review the 2012 Kittitas County Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />• Introduce the Planning Team <br />• Outline the County work plan <br />• Outline planning partner expectations <br />• Seek commitment to the planning partnership, via letters of intent <br />• Seek volunteers for the steering committee <br />• Solicit for external stakeholder participation <br />Each jurisdiction wishing to join the planning partnership was asked to provide a “letter of intent” to <br />participate in the planning process. That letter designated a primary and secondary point of contact for the <br />jurisdiction and confirmed the jurisdiction’s commitment to the process and understanding of expectations. <br />Linkage procedures have been established (see Volume 2 of this plan) for any jurisdiction wishing to link <br />to the Kittitas County plan in the future. The municipal planning partners covered under this plan are shown <br />in Table 2-1. The special purpose district planning partners are shown in Table 2-2. <br />Table 2-1.
