AGENDA STAFF REPORT
AGENDA DATE: April 18, 2017
ACTION REQUESTED: Approve a Resolution authorizing an Interlocal Agreement
between Kittitas County and the City of Ellensburg regarding the
use of Memorial Park.
BACKGROUND: Currently there is an agreement between Kittitas County
and the City of Ellensburg dating back to 1974 which
outlines the use of Memorial Park by the County for the
Kittitas County Fair. It also conveys use of the fairgrounds
facilities to the City of Ellensburg for free. Both the County
and the City desire a new agreement as the current
agreement is outdated and not workable under today's
circumstances. The County desires to retain the right to
utilize Memorial Park for the Kittitas County Fair. In
return, the City shall have the right to utilize the
fairgrounds facilities for the following purposes: 1. Annual
Daddy/Daughter Dinner Dance put on by the City of
Ellensburg Park Department - 1st Saturday in March each
year. 2. Community Thanksgiving Dinner put on by the
City of Ellensburg Parks Department - annually the day
prior to Thanksgiving Holiday. 3. The Community
Christmas Basket Program - annually during the month of
December. 4. Use of the stage for the Annual Memorial
Day Ceremony at Memorial Park - Annually on Memorial
Day. 5. Training space for law enforcement purposes -
annually 3 days during the month of February with 30 days
notice, subject to availability. There are also obligations for
clean up and restoration upon as well as appropriate risk
management provisions for each party. This new agreement
is to supersede all other existing agreements between the
parties for the use of these facilities.
INTERACTION: The Prosecutors Office reviewed the Agreement drafted by the
