The area would be seeded with dryland grasses that <br />do not need irrigation and maintained to eliminate any noxious <br />weeds and to keep the vegetation trimmed. RV's will not be <br />parking on the State parks land, but the ends may overhang the <br />property line a few feet. The main goal is to make sure the <br />aesthetics for the park are nice. <br />Washington State Parks has agreed to the proposal and sent the <br />Franchise Agreement for signature to finalize the arrangement. A <br />Resolution is being drafted and will be presented for BOCC <br />approval at the October 7, 2025 BOCC Agenda Session. <br />INTERACTION: Kittitas Valley Event Center <br />Kittitas County Facilities Director <br />Kittitas County Prosecutor's Office <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />ACTION REQUESTED: None <br />ATTACHMENT(S): None <br />LEAD STAFF: Kady Porterfield, Kittitas Valley Event Center Director <br />
