02/22/2019 MINUTES 1 COMMISSIONERS' MINUTES KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON 901 EAST 7TH AVE – ARMORY A SPECIAL MEETING FRIDAY 9:00 A.M. FEBRUARY 22, 2019 Board members present: Chairman Cory Wright; Vice-Chairman Brett Wachsmith & Commissioner Laura Osiadacz. Others: Julie Kjorsvik, Clerk of the Board; Stephanie Hartung, Deputy Prosecutor; Neil Caulkins, Deputy Prosecutor; Dan Carlson, CDS Director; Patti Johnson, Solid Waste/Project Manager (via conference call). SPECIAL MEETING DIBBLE ENGINEERS COMMISSIONERS At 9:00 a.m. Chairman Wright opened a Special Meeting to review an Engineers Report from Dibble Engineers, Inc. relating to safety concerns of the 2nd floor loading in the County Clerk’s records room and cracks in the Commissioner’s office and Auditorium’s ceiling. Patti Johnson, Solid Waste Director/Project Manager reviewed the Engineer’s Report and said with the current configuration in the Clerk’s records room, the file cabinets seem to be overweight and recommended spacing them out 4 feet apart, as well as bracing them too. After discussing the Engineers Report the Board asked Stephanie Hartung, Deputy Prosecutor and Ms. Johnson to meet with the Clerk, Val Barschaw at their earliest convenience to review the report and see what changes she can make to remedy the situation in her file room in order to meet the Engineer’s recommendation. The Board said once the Engineer determines the Clerk’s proposal is sufficient, they’d like to get something in writing that outlines the solution so they don’t have to revisit the safety concerns in file room again. Ms. Hartung said if the Engineer or anyone else needed to go up to the Clerk’s office to see the file room she requested them to contact her so she could also be there at the same time. The anticipated timeline for the Commissioner’s office to move back into the Courthouse was two weeks.
