DISCUSSION: <br />Drought -year water leases can help alleviate drought -related hardships by transferring <br />water to meet critical water needs. Kittitas County acquired a portfolio of water rights to <br />meet rural domestic water needs. Since a significant portion of these water rights have <br />been secured for future domestic needs, not current or historic needs, Kittitas County is <br />interested in malting these water rights available in response to drought needs. <br />FISCAL IMPACTS: <br />A drought leasing program is expected to generate revenue that would be applied to a 403 <br />Water Account. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Public Hearing Notice. <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />
