Ten members of the public spoke about the closure of Runway 7/25. <br />Chairman Jewell thanked the public for their comments and stated <br />that currently in place is a temporary closure of Runway 7/25 and <br />staff is recommending getting a second opinion and referred to <br />staff for confirmation. Mark Cook commented that prior to <br />obtaining a second opinion there is a procurement issue to solve <br />and a process piece for timeliness. Mark Cook added that the main <br />issue is funding and second opinion on the condition of the runway <br />is going to be a standard answer, that the pavement is deteriorated <br />from any consulting firm. Mark Cook added that when he wrote the <br />briefing that was presented it was prior to meeting with Century <br />West Engineering. Mark Cook continued that it's going to cost <br />another five to ten thousand dollars on a second opinion to say <br />that the pavement is bad, however, it may be able to give staff a <br />more involved dissertation of how to get it back in service but we <br />have not sought that from Century West Engineering either. Further <br />discussion was held. Staff was directed to secure a second opinion <br />on the pavement condition through the procurement process and <br />schedule an emergency meeting with the Airport Advisory Committee, <br />if necessary, to make a recommendation to the Board of County <br />Commissioners and in the meantime work with the scenarios currently <br />presented from Century West Engineering and the financing and <br />partnership options with the runway remaining closed until a <br />solution is found. <br />2017-08-14 MINUTES <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br />Laura Osiadacz, Chairman <br />
