KITTITAS COUNTY <br />SHERIFF’S OFFICE <br /> <br />AGENDA STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br />AGENDA DATE: May 15, 2018 <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Request to Amend Resolution 2018-007 to Change L&J <br />Grantee from Kittitas County Search and Rescue to Kittitas County Sheriff’s Office. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: The original L&J grant was awarded to Kittitas County Search and <br />Rescue (KCSR) in the amount of $5,000. KCSR is a 501c(3) nonprofit entity not <br />associated with the County government. The purpose of the grant award was to purchase <br />a generator to be installed into the Sheriff Office’s mobile command van (MC61), which <br />is owned by the County but which was originally donated to the Sheriff’s Office by <br />KCSR. The cost of the generator and installation were likewise to be donated to KCSO <br />by KCSR. However, KCSR no longer has the funds available to cover the remaining <br />amount due to be paid for the cost of the generator and the labor to install it into MC61. <br />The Sheriff has directed that his Office pay the $7,623.77 bill to Yakima Generator in <br />full. The difference of $2,623.77 (the bill total of $7,623.77 less the $5,000 grant award) <br />will be covered by the County’s Search and Rescue budget, which is feasible. There is <br />$13,970 total in that budget section, including $3,000 in the Vehicle Maintenance line. <br /> <br />The purpose of this amendment is to move the grant award of $5,000 from KCSR to <br />KCSO so that KCSO can pay the entire bill to the winning lowest responsive responsible <br />bidder for the cost of the generator and installation labor. This is a reasonable thing to do <br />given that KCSO already owns the vehicle into which the generator is being installed, <br />and the result of the amendment also upholds the original intent of KCSR’s desire that <br />KCSO own the generator on board MC61. <br /> <br />INTERACTION: The Kittitas County Prosecutor’s Office has reviewed and approved <br />this amendment. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: Request to Amend Resolution 2018-007 to Change L&J <br />Grantee from Kittitas County Search and Rescue to Kittitas County Sheriff’s Office. <br /> <br />HANDLING: Please return one signed copy to the Sheriff’s Office. <br /> <br />LEAD STAFF: Heather Seibert, Chief Financial Manager
