FEBRUARY 25, 2020 <br />Board members present: Chairman Brett Wachsmith; Vice-Chairman <br />Laura Osiadacz, and Commissioner Cory Wright. <br /> Others: Julie Kjorsvik, Clerk of the Board and Phil Backlund. <br /> SPECIAL MEETING DEPARTMENT HEAD RETREAT COMMISSIONERS <br />At 1:00 p.m. Chairman Wachsmith opened a Special Meeting to begin <br />planning for a Department Head retreat on March 31, 2020 at the <br />Wildhorse Wind Farm. He said Phil Backlund was willing to assist the <br />County with being a facilitator at a Board retreat with their <br />Department Heads. <br /> <br />Phil Backlund said he’s a retired Professor from Central Washington <br />University in the Communications Department and has been involved in <br />the community for many years. He provided a background of the <br />various types of retreats the Board could have with their Department <br />Heads including educational/problem solving/visioning. <br /> <br />The Board provided a brief history of the Management Team. The Board <br />said they’d like to have their Department Heads roles and <br />expectations clarified at the retreat, so everyone is on the same <br />page moving forward. Another area of focus is ways to better <br />communicate with everyone, and to outline their vision and goals. <br /> <br />Mr. Backlund suggested that the Board meet in a Special Meeting to <br />review their goals and expectations prior to the retreat so they are <br />clearly outlined. He offered to meet with individual Department <br />Heads and report back to the Board on the feedback he received to <br />assist them in preparing for the retreat. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 2:00 p.m. <br /> KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CLERK OF THE BOARD KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON Julie Kjorsvik Brett Wachsmith, Chairman <br />
