KITTITAS COUNTY <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES—BOARD OF COUNTY <br /> COMMISSIONERS <br /> 2024 STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT <br /> STUDY SESSION DATE: April 22,2024 <br /> TOPIC: Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund Participation <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: Direct Staff <br /> LEAD STAFF: Chad Bala, Director and Mark R. Cook, CDS/PW Director. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Direct staff prepare enabling legislation enrolling Community Development Services <br /> (CDS) into Public Works (PW) equipment rental and replacement program. <br /> BRIEFING SUMMARY: <br /> • CDS Building Division inspection pick-ups are currently enrolled in PW's ER&R <br /> program. <br /> • Formal enrollment by the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) is now <br /> required. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> Recently, PW replaced the CDS building inspection fleet with new pick-ups. The pick- <br /> ups were purchased by the general fund compensating CDS for several years of not <br /> paying for code enforcement. The PW Director enrolled the vehicles into the county's <br /> equipment rental and replacement(ER&R)program. Subsequently, the Auditor is <br /> requiring the vehicles be removed from the fund as CDS is not enrolled formally in PW's <br /> ER&R. <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> Enrollment of CDS' building inspection fleet guarantees frequent maintenance and <br /> ultimately orderly replacement. CDS will pay a monthly rental rate that provides for <br /> maintenance and replacement. As the vehicles were originally purchased with general <br /> fund money, the BoCC must now formally(by resolution) enroll the vehicles into PW's <br /> ER&R fund. This will satisfy the audit trail for the Auditor's Department. <br /> FISCAL IMPACTS: <br /> Ongoing rental fees will be programmed into CDS' 2025 annual budget and all <br /> subsequent budgets. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> None. <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br /> Community Development Services"Work Session Staff Report",2024 <br />
