CRITICAL AREAS ORDINANCE (CAO) REVIEW AND DRAFT UPDATE
SCOPE OF WORK
Kittitas County
Phase 1
1. Project Kick-off. At the start of this project, The Watershed Company (Watershed) will meet with County staff by
phone to review/refine objectives, agree on initial tasks and timeline and coordinate on known resources to be
delivered to the project team.
2. Record Review. Watershed staff will review:
a. The County's current critical areas code and the single latest draft of the proposed update, which will be
the November 2018 submittal as reviewed and discussed at the County Planning Commission meeting
held on November 27, 2018;
b. Relevant County process documentation as identified/narrowed by County planning staff; and
c. Review of relevant citizen, agency, and commissioner comment documentation as identified/narrowed
by County planning staff.
Based on Watershed staff review, issues pertaining to sections within the draft CAO in need of further
evaluation and likely leading to CAO revisions based on public, agency, tribal, and commissioner input to date,
will be identified and listed.
3. Recommendations Memo. With internal review and quality control oversight, a memo addressed to Kittitas
County planning staff will be prepared identifying which issues are recommended to be addressed in upcoming
preliminary CAO draft amendments. Brief explanations will be included as to why each item on the list was
selected and included. The memo will be sent to County planning staff via email and discussed during a
conference call.
Based on conclusions reached via conference call and email, an updated, final memo will be prepared to reflect
concurrence between County planning and Watershed staff regarding which CAO elements are to be focused on
in upcoming updates and, by default, which are to be left largely as -is and will not be significantly revised
beyond some language structure and formatting.
4. Draft Amendments. TWC staff, with internal review and quality control oversight, will prepare preliminary,
recommended amendments to the November 2018 CAO draft. These amendments will be intended to meet the
requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA) in consideration of preferences and input from County
citizens, planning staff, and Commissioners.
Draft, recommended amendments will be sent to County planning staff via email and discussed during two
conference call meetings. A topic of discussion will likely be how to reach the best compromise between the
requests and preferences of County citizens (as derived from public and commissioner input), the requirements
of the GMA, and comments or other input from the tribes and state agencies.
Watershed will update draft CAO amendments based on conclusions reached in discussion with County planning
staff.
5. Stakeholder Participation. Watershed will participate in public meetings and public involvement activities as
arranged by County planning staff. Attendance at and preparation for two public meetings attended by 10 or
Page 3 of 21
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
fewer stakeholders is envisioned. Watershed will attend conference calls or conduct other correspondence with
staff to summarize public input and reach agreement on how the draft CAO should be modified in response.
These additional CAO updates will occur in Phase II.
6, Phase II Scoping. Based on progress in Phase 1, conduct scoping and budgeting for Phase 2 whereby submission
to the Planning Commission for acceptance is envisioned. Phase II would likely include additional updates to the
draft CAO amendments based on input from the public involvement process, as agreed in discussion with
County planning staff and, ultimately, submission to the Planning Commission for acceptance. Additional public
meetings or hearings may also be included.
