The City was very receptive and supportive of the Event <br />Center Director bringing them a proposal for funding support when <br />the need arises. <br />Construction documents from ALSC Architects have been received. <br />Support was gained from the City of Ellensburg to take lead agency <br />status on the project and handle our own permitting. So, a pre - <br />application meeting with CDS is scheduled directly after this <br />meeting. <br />INTERACTION: Kittitas Valley Event Center <br />Kittitas County Project Manager <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Support to move forward with breaking ground this year. <br />ATTACHMENT(S): None <br />LEAD STAFF: Patti Stacey, Project Manager <br />Kady Porterfield, Kittitas Valley Event Center Director <br />
