<br /> <br />will also provide contract oversight. The department will also develop a group for review of the RFP’s <br />and then will put them through the Board of County commissioners for approval. Ms. Knutson reviewed <br />a tentative timeline that would include the release of the one-time RFP in March and a tentative start <br />date for July 1. <br /> <br />HopeSource Teanaway Project discussion/decision <br />Chelsey Loeffers discussed the Teanaway Project proposal and provided a brief overview of the new <br />submitted proposal. HopeSource is hoping to have all financing closed by April 1,2026, including the <br />$750,000.00 from Kittitas County and should not change overall funding availability. This is currently <br />under legal review for approval before new contract is drafted. <br />The board discussed new proposed changes and how to proceed forward. <br />Ms. Loeffers informed the board that they have met with Pacifica Law Group. They specialize in <br />affordable housing and are willing to help us work through this project and future affordable housing <br />contracts. The group discussed the benefits of contracting with the group and the knowledge Kittitas <br />County will acquire during this process. The board was in favor of contracting and agreeing to splitting <br />the funds of $20,000.00 in a 2-year contract with Pacifica. It was also discussed that the first $10,000.00 <br />would be out of admin funds from local affordable housing specific tax and fee revenue and the next <br />$10,000.00 would be out of general fund. <br />The board directed Ms. Loeffers to wait and see what Pacifica recommends when they receive the <br />documents for review and to send a letter to HopeSource to notify them that we are working with <br />Pacifica and not promise the April 1st deadline as they presented. We will notify them when we know <br />how to proceed forward with new proposal. <br /> <br />Shared Website Pages Update <br />Erin Moore reviewed with the board that with new website pages update she is working with IT.
