Dept. of Public Works Page 3 LIMITED FBO SERVICESAT BOWERS FIELD: Mark stated that when the Board of County Commissioners made the decision to assign Midstate Aviation's lease to Central Washington University this put into process a date of termination for current FBO services at Bowers Field. This date of termination is November 8, 2017 for services. This will potentially create a condition where we don't have a service package at Bowers Field. This means staff will have to prepare a request for proposals for the service package. Regardless, we are approaching a situation where NOTAMs will not be issued and staff can receive training by the end of the month to issue these in the absence of the FBO. Discussion was held. Ron Mitchell was present and commented on the topic. Board Direction: No direction. OTHER BUSINESS: BAR 14 ROAD BRIDGE: Luke stated that staff was able to walk the creek and other splits and structures with the hydraulic consultant and other environmental staff to receive opinions on ideas what the county can do to help mitigate some of the flooding impacts on the surrounding neighbors. Staff has also had conversations with Department of Fish and Wildlife to get their input on what they are seeing in the area and system as a whole. Luke added that in summary there are global problems from the split, upstream all the way down to the KRD structure that is unmanageable from the county level at this time financially. There are some short term mitigation repairs that can be implemented that we are still exploring. Staff is trying to expedite further conversations with stakeholders to vet some of the findings we are coming up with in hope to schedule a special session with the Board of County Commissioners to move forward. Discussion was held. Board Direction: No direction. 411 N. Ruby, Ste. #1 TEL (509) 962-7523 Ellensburg, WA 98926 FAX (509) 962-7663
