02/09/2026 MINUTES 2 SPECIAL EVENT YAKIMA RIVER CANYON MARATHON COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Osiadacz moved to Approve a Special Event Application to hold the annual Yakima River Canyon Marathon and Half Marathon, on Saturday March 28, 2026, and to grant a waiver to Kittitas County Code Chapter 5.20.160 – Closing Hours, and Penal Bond, conditioned upon recommendations from Public Works, Sheriff’s Office, Public Health and the Fire Marshal. Chairman Wright seconded. Motion carried 2-0. APPOINTMENT VETERANS ADVISORY BOARD – BARRY COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Osiadacz moved to approve the appointment of Ed Barry to the Kittitas County Veterans Advisory Board for a 2-year term, effective immediately and to expire 12/31/2027. Chairman Wright seconded. Motion carried 2-0. PROPOSAL HARRIS OFFICE – COMMISSIONERS RELOCATION COMMISSIONERS Mandy Buchholz, Office Administrator, presented a proposal from Harris Office Interiors in the amount of $16,697.00, not including taxes. She stated that, upon the Chair’s signature approving the proposal, the order could be placed and the office move scheduled. Commissioner Osiadacz and Chairman Wright discussed that the District #3 Commissioner had requested no updated furniture, as he uses personal furniture. However, the Board expressed a desire to maintain a unified and professional appearance in the offices moving forward. Concerns were also discussed regarding the availability of selected furniture items in the future, particularly when the office may be vacant and a new Commissioner takes office. Staff was directed to request that Harris amend the proposal to include furniture for the District #3 office. The intent is for the furniture to be temporarily “borrowed” by Misdemeanant Probation until a future election results in a new Commissioner. At that time, the Board of County Commissioners will reassign the furniture back to the District #3 office, and Misdemeanant Probation will be responsible for obtaining replacement office furniture. This arrangement reflects that Misdemeanant Probation will be relocating to the current BoCC office space. Commissioner Osiadacz moved to approve and authorize the Chair’s signature on an amended furniture proposal from Harris Office Interiors in the amount of $20,020.00, not including taxes, to include furniture for the District #3 office. Chairman Wright seconded the motion. Motion carried 2–0. UPDATE WHITE BOARD COMMISSIONERS
