KITTITAS COUNTY CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENTS PUBLIC FACILITIES FUND 2026 Joshua Fredrickson presented recommendations from the Conference of Governments (COG) regarding Public Facilities Fund (Fund 108). City of Roslyn - Clear Well Project Joshua Fredrickson presented a recommendation for funding related to the City of Roslyn clear well replacement and repair project. Roslyn's water system uses two clear wells for chlorine contact time and pressure equalization. Joshua Fredrickson reported that one clear well requires full replacement and the second requires substantial repair. The structures were described as being in poor condition, with cracking, leakage, and visible deterioration. Joshua Fredrickson noted that Roslyn's water system also serves Water District No. 2 / Ronald. The total project cost was reported at just over $1.5 million. COG recommended funding of up to $1.5 million. Board of County Commissioners discussed the condition of the facilities, the significance of the infrastructure need, available funding, and the importance of ensuring long-term utility reliability. Joshua Fredrickson explained that the amount would be capped and that final costs would depend on bid results and any additional funding sources obtained.
