This work, to be conducted over the next several months with a broad group of <br />stakeholders across the county, is outlined in the attached documents along with the <br />aforementioned stakeholder list. COG has previously expressed support for this proposal. <br />and we believe it represents a critical step towards fully equipping our local economic <br />development efforts to reach the next level. <br />In light of this timely initiative, we respectfully request the Board of County <br />Commissioners formally recognize IDM's work and resultant product as a future path for <br />economic development. We believe that by doing so, future decisions by the BOCC and <br />other public entities for contracted management and associated funding of vital economic <br />development services will be supported by an informed process undertaken by nationally <br />recognized expertise and diverse county representation. We believe that by collectively <br />engaging in this process, we can create a more resilient and prosperous future for Kittitas <br />County. <br />Thank you for your consideration of this request as we believe it's vital to maintain our <br />momentum and to the ultimate success of our Economic Development Strategy Plan. <br />Sincerely, <br />i <br />Ma or Matthew Lu dh, irman, City of Cle E.lum <br />Mayor <br />, City of Kittitas <br />Commissioner Cory Wright, Kittitas County <br />4acy Gooloe, City of Ellensburg <br />Page 2 of <br />Bryan Elliott, Kittitas County <br />Rich Elliott, City oEllensburg <br />
