AGENDA STAFF REPORT
AGENDA DATE: January 19, 2016
ACTION REQUESTED: Resolution to Authorize the Execution of an Amendment to an Interlocal
Agreement Between Kittitas County and Kittitas County Conservation
District for the Development of a Voluntary Stewardship Program
BACKGROUND: In 2011 the Kittitas County Board of Commissioner’s approved an ordinance electing
to participate in the Voluntary Stewardship Program. This ordinance elected to have
Kittitas County proceed with implementation of the requirements of the Voluntary
Stewardship Program once the Washington State Legislature provides adequate
funding for such activity. The Washington State Legislature appropriated Voluntary
Stewardship funds in the 2015-2017 budget for implementation of the Voluntary
Stewardship Program.
Kittitas County previously entered into an Interlocal Agreement with the Kittitas
County Conservation District for the development of a Voluntary Stewardship
Program and designated the District as the lead entity of the Watershed Group. The
amendment to the Interlocal Agreement identifies the District as the lead entity and
gives the District the authority to appoint Watershed Group participants consistent
with Resolution 2016-01.
With the designation of the Conservation District as the watershed group lead Kittitas
County staff and elected officials will continue to be involved in the development of
the Voluntary Stewardship Program in an advisory and assistance role.
