RE: Acting County Engineer Appointment
Dear Mr. Woods:
Kittitas County continues the search for a full time County Engineer. After several
months of unsuccessful recruiting efforts, we recently reduced-our required
supervisory experience hoping to attract alarger field ofcandidates. itecent travel
restrictions will likely limit candidate travel to our.County for interviews.
Re-cognizing the likelihood that we will not have a full time County Engineer on staff
before April 13tr, 2020 andthat our appointed county Engineer vi'. vti'rk R. cook
w1!. gxpi1e on this date, we are appointing Mr. Cook Acting County Engineer for an
additional six-month period ending September 6,2020.
The Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners appreciates the County Road
Administration Board's patience as we continue our search for a permanent County
Engineer.
