A member of the public spoke about the issue and thanked <br />the county for working on this. The Board directed Staff to <br />pursue purchasing the property from the Kittitas County <br />Treasurer, prepare enabling documentation and move towards <br />declaring the road network as primitive roads. <br />ROAD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS FORMED VIA RESOLUTION <br />Mark Cook gave background on the process Staff has been working <br />through regarding Road Improvement Districts, specifically Weihl <br />Road. He spoke as to two options that the Board can consider <br />for formulation through RCW 35.43 and 36.88. After this path is <br />decided then the remaining work to be done would be to draft a <br />Task Order with the current on-call Consultant to complete the <br />design, affirm project costs then formulate the district. After <br />discussion the Board directed staff to move forward with <br />formulation through RCW 35.43. A member of the public made a <br />comment regarding the topic. <br />2018-02-12 MINUTES <br />
