SPRINGWOOD RANCH <br />Josh Fredrickson briefed the Board of County Commissioners on the <br />management of the 795 acres of Springwood Ranch that is now owned by <br />the county. Commissioner Cory Wright stated that Public Works is best <br />suited to oversee this property and recommended an agronomy <br />assessment in partnership with Washington State University. The <br />consensus from the Board was to keep the grazing leases and <br />caretakers. Current operations costs anticipate a deficit, which is <br />to be supported through the General Fund. Grant funding has been <br />requested, to help offset costs. <br />BRIDGE PROCUREMENT FOR WHISKEY CREEK SIPHON PROJECT <br />Commissioner Cory Wright recused himself from this discussion. <br />Arden Thomas briefed the Board of County Commissioners on the need to <br />purchase a bridge for Woods' property and Ellensburg Water Company. <br />Funds have been budgeted through the Flood Control Zone District.
