KITTITAS VALLEY EVENT CENTER <br />Home of the Kittitas County Fair and Ellensburg Rodeo <br />901 E. 7th Ave, Suite 1, Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />EventCenter@co.kittitas.wa.us <br />Office (509) 962-7639 <br />Fax (509) 962-7010 <br /> <br />AGENDA STAFF REPORT <br /> <br />AGENDA DATE: March 19, 2019 <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Hold a Public Hearing to Consider and Approve Amending Rental <br />Rates at the Kittitas Valley Event Center. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: The 2019 Proposed Rental Rates reflect changes based on community <br />and customer concerns with the “All-Inclusive” rate of the Rodeo Arena <br />set in 2018. Many customers do not use the additional facilities bundled <br />in the “All-Inclusive” rate and solely want to use the Rodeo Arena. The <br />“All-Inclusive” bundle caused the rate for use of the Rodeo Arena to <br />increase by over 28.5%. The 2018 rates have prevented new customers <br />from using the Arena because of the cost and long-time customers are <br />having to look elsewhere to hold their events as they can no longer afford <br />it. <br /> <br />INTERACTION: Event Center Staff <br /> Board of County Commissioners <br /> Various existing and potential customers <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Commissioners hold a Public Hearing to consider <br />Amending Rental Rates at the Kittitas Valley Event Center and to <br />consider approval of a Resolution to adopt an update to the Kittitas <br />Valley Event Center rental and use fee schedule. <br /> <br /> <br />HANDLING: 1 Original – Clerk of the Board <br /> 1 Copy – Event Center Director <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: Resolution <br /> <br /> <br />LEAD STAFF: Kady Porterfield, Director Kittitas Valley Event Center <br />
