KITTITAS COUNTY <br />EC STUDY SESSION MINUTES <br />BOCC CONFERENCE ROOM, 205 WEST 5TH ROOM 108 - ELLENSBURG <br />Regular Meeting <br />WEDNESDAY 1 10:00 AM I January 13, 2021 <br />Board members present: Chairman Brett Wachsmith (via Webex), Vice -Chairman Laura <br />Osiadacz (via Webex) <br />Others: Event Center Director Kady Porterfield (via Webex), Event Center Program Manager <br />Lacie Dawson (via Webex), Human Resources Director Lisa Young (via Webex), and Deputy <br />Prosecuting Attorney Chris Horner (via Webex) <br />Call to Order 10:01 a.m. <br />Fairgrounds Insurance Claim Updates: <br />Per Chris Horner, the damage was done by juveniles and EPD does have suspects. There was <br />approximately $100,000 in damage done. The county has a $500 deductible, the remainder <br />should be covered by insurance. Funds may be recouped from parents of juveniles, case is <br />ongoing. <br />Kady has conferred with Stephanie Hartung, she can move forward with the small works roster <br />to get the bidding done. There will need to be a special meeting for signatures. <br />General Event and Rental Updates: <br />Kady has met with both Dr. Larson and Stephanie Hartung regarding Bloom classification. If <br />doors on all sides are open, it can be considered "outdoor", if the doors are closed it will be <br />classified as "indoor". With the outdoor designation, we can have up to 50 participants for an <br />outdoor sporting event. Bloom is currently booked every day with multiple bookings, so that <br />will be helpful moving forward. <br />The fairgrounds will be used for the upcoming vaccine immunization clinic. It is expected to last <br />approximately three months. This will be a significant source of revenue, as it will be <br />reimbursed at 100% from FEMA funds from what the County Emergency Management Team <br />explained. We have not heard back on the court dates yet, but it will not start until February 17th <br />at the earliest. <br />Kady is working on a trade agreement for KCSO for space use. <br />Self -Promoted Event Updates: <br />Kady is confident that the fair will be able to take place this year, possibly with some small <br />modifications. <br />Kady is working with the promoter for the 4th of July concert to see what our options are and if <br />moving forward will be financially viable. We did receive $18,500 from lodging tax toward the <br />event. That is extremely helpful. <br />2021-01-13 MINUTES <br />
