AUGUST 5, 2024 <br /> <br />Board members present: Chairman Brett Wachsmith; Vice-Chairman Laura <br />Osiadacz; Commissioner Cory Wright. <br /> <br />Others: Julie Kjorsvik, Clerk of the Board; Eileen Murphy, Public <br />Defense Director; Kady Porterfield, Event Center Director; Patti <br />Stacey, Facilities Director; Chelsey Loeffers, Public Health <br />Director; Bryan Elliott, Auditor; and Amy Cziske, Treasurer. <br /> <br />SPECIAL MEETING COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />At 2:30 p.m. Chairman Wachsmith opened a Special Meeting to receive <br />a report from the County Executive Management Development Committee. <br /> <br />Bryan Elliott, Auditor, explained how the committee had been working <br />together on their report for the last 6-8 months. They do not have a <br />recommendation of creating a County Executive position, but rather <br />if the Board chose to go that route, their findings would assist in <br />making it a better transition for the County. <br /> <br />The report provided information on sections including the Scope & <br />Process, Internal Organization, Budget & Finance, External <br />Organization, Resources, Culture, Decision & Implementation, <br />Alternative Solutions, and a proposed Implementation Timeline. <br /> <br />The Board said they’d like to schedule a meeting at the beginning of <br />September, prior to the monthly Management Team meeting, so they <br />could report back to them their decision of moving forward or Not <br />with a County Administrator model. Commissioner Wright said he <br />doesn’t want to move forward with the position unless the full Board <br />is in support of it, for instance he does not want to move forward <br />with a vote of 2-1. Vice-Chairman Osiadacz said she’d like to know <br />ahead of time how people felt, either way, and encouraged people to <br />share their thoughts on a possible County Administrator position. <br /> <br />Meeting concluded at 3:30 p.m. <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />CLERK OF THE BOARD KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Julie Kjorsvik Brett Wachsmith, Chairman <br />
