The program is doing good work with families in upper county. Ms. Navarre also <br /> thanked Kasey Knutson for the 2023 KCPHD Annual Report and appreciated the blurbs about <br /> staff who have completed 15+years with the department. Ms. Navarre also noted concerns <br /> with back to school and education on cross walks. With speed limits set at 35 and cross walks <br /> by schools this increases risk of kids getting hit. She just wanted to bring attention to this and <br /> maybe start education about school and cross walks. <br /> Laura Osiadacz mentioned that with the recent human and bear interaction that education <br /> about recreating and living where wildlife would be beneficial. Maybe education about cleaning <br /> up garbage and things that attract bears. <br /> Concluded at 11:07 a.m. <br /> Brett Wachsmith, Commissioner, Chair <br /> Chelsey Loeffers, Director <br /> Kittitas County Public Health <br /> Candi Blackford, Clerk of the Board of Health <br /> 7 <br />
