12/04/2023 MINUTES 2 run in the ½ marathon. UPDATE BOCC/ DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORTS COMMISSIONERS Each Commissioner was assigned three different Department Heads to meet with on a weekly basis for the year. The assignments for 2023 were determined at the Board of County Commissioners Office Admin meeting earlier on and they will continue to provide updates at future meetings. Each Commissioner reviewed discussions held with their respective departments and exchanged details of those meetings. UPDATES BOCC/WHITE BOARDS COMMISSIONERS The Board reviewed their updates/edits to each of their white boards. OTHER BUSINESS/GENERAL UPDATES – STAFF UPDATES & DISCUSSION There were general updates on meetings & conversations that the Board participated in, individually over the past week. Staff asked the Board for direction and discussion on next steps with the vacant Administrative Assistant position. The Board discussed and determined that with the current workload there was no way to maintain the Committee and Board work and that they needed to look at reassigning those Committee’s and Boards to larger departments. They determined that they would leave the position vacant for the time being and work on shuffling the workload around amongst other departments that were larger and could absorb that work. They discussed that the HAHC would be a good fit for Public Health; PLAC could be in Public Works and LTAC could be in the Auditor’s Office potentially. They discussed that Brian Carlson, Budget and Finance Director has requested a higher caliber of employee every time the position is filled so it may work well in his office. Staff was directed to set up a meeting with those departments to discuss. Meeting concluded at 9:46 a.m. KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON Mandy Buchholz Cory Wright, Chairman
