Mark Cook continued that this is the second of two projects <br />with the Federal Highway Administration for hydraulics in the <br />Teanaway. Mark Cook added that this project has stalled due to issues <br />regarding reconnecting to the river which was the county's preferred <br />plan. Mark Cook commented that there has been opposition from the <br />residents in the area and Washington State Department of Fish and <br />Wildlife (WDFW) requested an additional study on the project. Mark <br />Cook stated that staff spent ten (10) months analyzing and collecting <br />data and staff included the technical memo with this briefing for BOCC <br />review. Mark Cook added that additional modeling was done with <br />culverts in the area open and plugged to show any adverse impacts and <br />after meeting with WDFW it is clear that the path forward is to do a <br />bridge replacement only. Discussion was held. Commissioner Laura <br />Osiadacz commented that she would hate to see all the time and effort <br />on this project go to waste. Mark Cook added that the county had a <br />committed path on this project but it is not going to work so it's <br />time move ahead. <br />Meeting adjourned at 1:48 pm <br />2019-10-28 MINUTES <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br />Cory Wright, Chairman <br />
