RESOLUTION No. 2019 -J 1"'0
WHEREAS, the Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners has the authority to
make such contracts as may be necessary to their corporate or administrative powers, and to do
all necessary acts in relation to the property of the County pursuant to RCW 36.01.010; and
WHEREAS, the Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners can delegate to its
agents or officers certain corporate or administrative powers, such as contracting authority,
pursuant to RCW 36.01.030; and
WHEREAS, the Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners has previously
delegated to other County departments and offices the specific authority to negotiate, enter into,
and approve contracts for expenditures, purchases, or other contractual obligations for property,
goods, or services; and
WHEREAS, the Kittitas County Public Health Administrator, in carrying out the duties
of the Public Health Department, is frequently called upon to sign contracts, administrative
agreements, or sub-agreements with relatively low risk and dollar value; and
WHEREAS, it is an inefficient and expensive use of staff time and resources for the
Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners to review and approve all Public Health related
contracts, regardless of amount;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the Kittitas County Board of
County Commissioners authorizes the Kittitas County Public Health Administrator to negotiate,
enter into, and approve contracts for expenditures, purchases, or other contractual obligations for
property, goods, or services with a monetary value of less than $25,000.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the provisions of Resolution 2009-22, which
requires all contracts to be reviewed and approved as to form by the Prosecutor's Office before
the contract is signed, and which also directs the Auditor's Office to deny payment for any
contract not reviewed and approved by the Prosecutor's Office, shall remain in full effect.
