Call to Order 10:00am Chairman Osiadacz called the meeting to order <br />2. Citizen Comments (1 min. time limit) - none <br />3. Discussion and Decision on Temporary Project Specialist Position: <br />Per Kady, there have been issues with finding a contractor that is willing to take on the <br />liability of repairing the cabins in Frontier Village. Matt Martin (Frontier Village Director) has <br />been working to get the cabins repaired, there are several that need roof work and log <br />replacements. <br />Kady has been working with Jeanne to come up with a solution. It was decided that the <br />best and most cost-effective course of action would be to hire a temporary project specialist for <br />30 days to complete the repairs. Overall, this would be the most cost-effective route and would <br />eliminate the liability issues with an independent contractor. This could possibly become an <br />annual position, as needed to complete specialty carpentry work that the maintenance staff isn't <br />able to complete. Additional background of financial information can be found in the staff report. <br />Commissioner Wachsmith commented that it's a great idea. Chair Osiadacz asked if it <br />would be difficult to fill the position? Per Porterfield they have already found someone willing to <br />take on the role. Eddings stated it was very hard work to replace two logs just a few years ago. <br />Commissioners are in support of the plan to add a temporary project specialist for the <br />carpentry work that is needed and gave Kady direction to proceed with posting the position. <br />4. Approve Chair's Signature on a Memorandum of Understanding between Kittitas County and <br />the Washington Historic Preservation Officer Regarding the Grandstands Reconstruction <br />ALCS had a lot of information prepared for a MOU with DAHP from 2016, which was <br />still applicable.
