FEBRUARY 3, 2022 <br />Board members present: Chairman Laura Osiadacz, Vice-Chairman Cory <br />Wright, and Commissioner Brett Wachsmith. <br /> <br />Others: Taylor Crouch, Administrative Assistant; Patti Johnson, <br />Solid Waste Director/Interim Maintenance Director/Project Manager; <br />Lisa Lazar, DLR Associate; and Erica Loynd, DLR Principal. SPECIAL MEETING DLR UPDATE COMMISSIONERS <br />At 1:32 p.m. Chairman Osiadacz opened a Special Meeting to obtain an <br />update from DLR. <br /> <br />Erica Loynd, DLR Principal, said she was the Project Manager on the <br />proposed new Courthouse. She has also been working on preparing the <br />public involvement plan. Lisa Lazar, DLR Associate, reviewed the 2 <br />final sites, at the Airport and remaining Downtown. There was <br />discussion on the pros and cons of each location. The Board was more <br />in favor of the Airport location after the discussion. It would be <br />cheaper to construct, there is more space available, funds would <br />become available from selling downtown locations, and it would help <br />drive business out to the Airport. There needs to be an <br />investigation into an FAA claim that the jail is not allowed on FAA <br />land because it constitutes as “overnight stays”. <br /> <br />The Board stated they wished to have this ready for the ballot in <br />February of 2023. DLR is meeting with departments within the coming <br />week to get a full scope of the needs for the space. DLR will focus <br />on the Airport site moving forward for schematics and design. The <br />design concept needs to be finalized by mid-March to stay on track. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 2:30 p.m. <br /> KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br /> <br /> Taylor Crouch Laura Osiadacz, Chairman
