Agenda Staff Report
Agenda Date:
August 6, 2019
Action Requested:
To set a public hearing to declare surplus property to be removed from the County Assets
Background:
RCW 36.32.210 Inventory of county capitalized assets states: Each board of county
commissioners of the several counties of the state of Washington shall file with the auditor of the
county a full and complete inventory of all capitalized assets kept in accordance with standards
established by the state auditor. The Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners has
assigned this function to the County Auditor. The County Auditor as required by GASB and the
State Auditor are to report in the County’s financial statement all capitalized assets. The County
Auditor maintains and updates the records for Land, Infrastructure, Intangible Assets, Buildings
and Improvements, Other Improvements, and Equipment for both Governmental Activities and
Business Activities. Maintaining the assets includes adding purchases and removing items for
surplus, performing audits and depreciation of assets.
Kittitas County Ordinance 2009-04 establishes the comprehensive procedures for the
management of County Real and Personal Property and the county policy Asset Inventory,
guides the policy and procedure for managing the county assets.
Annually, all departments are to perform an inventory of their assets, and as a result of
this audit, we need to remove items that are no longer needed to the County; surplus, broken or
lost.
We request the Board of County Commissioners to set a public hearing to complete the
removal process and allow the items to be disposed.
Recommendation:
Recommend the Board of County Commissioners set a public hearing at 2:00 pm on
August 20th, 2019, to declare property surplus to consider disposition of county assets.
