Kittitas County Parks and Recreation District 1 <br />n* P.O. Box 1064 - Roslyn, WA - 98941 <br />info@kprd1.org <br />www.ukcparksandrec.org <br />of this site to withstand the rigors of the elements and traffic has resulted in <br />deep ruts, pot holes, and an eroded border. This decay has lead to numerous <br />instances of vehicle damage as evidenced by the annual revelation of broken <br />parts (snowmobile tracks, fairings, body panels, etc) after the snow melts. <br />Discussions with Kittitas County Snowmobile Groomers Council, Upper County <br />Recreation Association, and members of the Washington State Snowmobile <br />Association (one of the original financial backers of the Sno-Park) have sparked <br />our desire to commit to significant upgrades to the Sno-Park that will ensure its <br />long-term survivability and usefulness for all to enjoy. The plan includes <br />surveying, engineering, excavation, fill, and gravel, plus a robust gate and <br />proper signage to ensure the park lasts well into the future without decaying <br />and/or causing damage to vehicles and snowmobiles. Estimates for the cost of <br />these upgrades range from $120,000 - $220,000, depending on the results of <br />the engineering / surveying (to determine the depth and extent of excavation <br />prior to proper fill). KPRD1 presently lacks funds necessary to have this <br />preparatory work done, however we plan to contact Washington State Parks to <br />see if they have engineering expertise and/or personnel that could assist. <br />In order to preserve and fortify our one asset - The Evergreen Sno-Park - Kittitas <br />County Parks and Recreation District 1 formally requests funding for these <br />improvements via the ARPA program. We believe the investment in this <br />tourism -based infrastructure will be beneficial to the community at large plus <br />those who chose Kittitas County as their winter adventure destination. <br />Thank you for <br />your time and consideration, <br />Kent Verbeck <br />Chairman, KPRD1 <br />Kent Verbeck Ira Astrachan Keegan Fengler Ali Astrachan Lucy Temple <br />
