For almost <br />two years the Kittitas County Conference of Governments (KCCOG) has reviewed <br />issues related to past population distribution and anticipation of future population <br />allocations. Through its review of the County-wide Planning Policies and discussion <br />of population distribution, it was determined by this body that new projections of <br />population and eventual employment should be made. <br /> <br /> With efforts by the County staff and through contracting the professional services of <br />private consultants with expertise in population and employment analysis, a model <br />was developed to present to representatives of governing jurisdictions with the <br />County to discuss and come to agreement upon population and employment <br />projections that will exist in the County by 2037. Through multiple meetings and <br />discussions over the past two years, KCCOG has agreed upon a projection for <br />population and employment to the year 2037. At a March 15, 2017 meeting, the <br />KCCOG made a unanimous decision to recommend that the Board of County <br />Commissioners adopt these numbers and distribution as the projections that will <br />guide the development of the 2037 Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan. These <br />numbers are provided in the Resolution placed before you for consideration. <br /> <br />INTERACTION: CDS, Board of County Commissioners <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: Resolution to adopt population and employment projections to 2037 <br /> <br />STAFF <br />RECOMMENDATION: CDS Planning Official recommends to the Board of County Commissioners to <br />approve the proposed Resolution <br /> <br />HANLDING: Presentation to the Board by Kittitas County Community Development Services. <br /> <br />RESPONSIBLE STAFF: Robert “Doc” Hansen, Planning Official <br />
