2020-10-16 MINUTES 1 <br />COMMISSIONERS' MINUTES KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON WEBEX SPECIAL MEETING <br /> FRIDAY 2:30 P.M. OCTOBER 16, 2020 <br />Board members present: Chairman, Brett Wachsmith; Vice-Chairman <br />Laura Osiadacz & Commissioner Cory Wright. <br /> <br />Others: Julie Kjorsvik, Clerk of the Board; Judy Pless, Budget & <br />Finance Manager; and Nick Henderson, Coroner. SPECIAL MEETING TRUCK PURCHASE CORONER <br />At 2:30 p.m. Chairman Wachsmith opened a Special Meeting to <br />consider a request from the Coroner to purchase a new vehicle <br />and an Agreement with Data Axle. <br /> <br />Nick Henderson, Coroner, requested to purchase a new vehicle <br />(Toyota) and canopy for his office and said he may need a <br />possible budget amendment for 2020. He had obtained three quotes <br />from different vehicle dealerships for Toyota pickup truck. If <br />approved, his office would surplus the Ford Escape which is <br />currently experiencing issues relating to a seal in the <br />transmission, as well as the other truck which had previously <br />belonged to Search and Rescue. He would also like to obtain a <br />canopy in addition to the new truck to store their supplies. Mr. <br />Henderson said their office has secured a $99,000.00 grant which <br />goes from October 2020 to September 2021, and there may be some <br />leftover funds to assist in paying for a portion of the new <br />vehicle. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wright said while he appreciated the Coroner’s <br />office obtaining the grant, he would rather wait to make a <br />decision until there is a better understanding of how much will <br />be left over in the grant and until after the 2021 budget has <br />been adopted to re-evaluate his request. Commissioner Osiadacz <br />agreed and said she would rather give it more time until the end <br />of the year to see how the 2021 budget comes in and to see if <br />there is a way it could be budget neutral. <br /> AGREEMENT DATA AXLE, INC. COMMISSIONERS <br />Chairman Wachsmith moved to approve and authorize Chair’s <br />signature on a Licensed Data Schedule to the Master Product
