BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA STAFF REPORT
AGENDA DATE: February 6, 2018
ACTION REQUESTED: Request to Set a Public Hearing to Consider Amending
Rental Rates at the Kittitas Valley Event Center and to
consider setting an Internal Rental Policy.
BACKGROUND: Throughout 2017 Event Center staff worked with
Commissioners to create an internal rental policy that reflected
free and reduced use of the facility by County and County-
related events. This policy and associated resolution defines that
in a clear and understandable way such that County staff can
know what events are free and what are not, and so that Event
Center scheduling and contracting can occur without confusion.
The policy and resolution were drafted by a County Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney.
The 2018 Proposed Rental Rates reflect a significant amount of
effort, a study in cost comparisons of other similar facilities, and
several meetings with the Commissioners to set appropriate
rental rates that, in general, reflect a 5% increase. Some items
were removed due to not being used or not making sense, and
other new amenities and packages were added.
INTERACTION: A Public Hearing must be held to consider the Proposed Rental
Rates and the Internal Rental Policy.
RECOMMENDATION: Set a Public Hearing to consider Amending Rental Rates at the
Kittitas Valley Event Center and to consider setting an Internal
Rental Policy to be held on Tuesday February 20th, 2018 at 2:00
p.m. in the Commissioners Auditorium, 205 West 5th,
Ellensburg.
