SPECIAL MEETING FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS COMMISSIONERS <br />At 10:00 a.m. Chairman Wachsmith opened a Special Meeting to have a <br />discussion on Kittitas County’s Infrastructure Priorities and the <br />Federal Appropriation process. <br /> <br />Kristi More, The Ferguson Group discussed some of the Federal budget <br />steps with the new Administration and changes that would allow some <br />local projects to apply for funding. There are multiple processes in <br />play this year. <br /> <br />There was discussion on the projects in the County that would fit in <br />the new budget proposal. Before the Board had grouped projects for <br />the Airport and KVEC together, they discussed top priorities now <br />that projects had to be stand alone. The Runway and the Grandstand <br />projects stood out. <br /> <br />Ms. More advised that the I-90, new Courthouse, and the Sheriff’s <br />Station would not be good projects for this process currently. She <br />advised that shovel-ready projects would be given a higher priority <br />rating. This included the Transfer Station, the Runway, Grandstands <br />and Bloom Pavilion. A final letter will be drafted and presented for <br />Board approval on the April 12, Office Admin. Meeting. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 10:35 a.m. <br /> KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br /> <br /> Taylor Crouch Brett Wachsmith, Chairman <br />
