COMMISSIONERS' MINUTES KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON COMMISSIONER’S AUDITORIUM SPECIAL MEETING MONDAY 3:00 P.M. DECEMBER 30, 2019
Board members present: Chairman Cory Wright; Vice-Chairman Brett
Wachsmith and Commissioner Laura Osiadacz.
Others: Julie Kjorsvik, Clerk of the Board; Kady Porterfield, Event
Center Director; and Bob Crowe, Ellensburg Rodeo Board Member.
SPECIAL MEETING BEST OF THE BEST RODEO PARKING EVENT CENTER
Kady Porterfield, Event Center Director explained how there was a need
for additional contestant parking for Labor Day weekend due to an
additional rodeo event that’s scheduled to be taking place. A suggestion
was to have additional contestant parking out at the Airport property
and have the County lease it to the Rodeo Board for the weekend. Bob
Crowe, Ellensburg Rodeo Board Member, said the Rodeo Board may be
interested in the property which is located just past the DNR on Bowers
Road. He indicated they had been looking at other property including the
Pfenning Road area. The Board said they weren’t against the idea as they
felt it would be an investment in Ellensburg as the Rodeo continues to
grow, but there were a lot of logistic hurdles that needed to be
resolved prior to them approving it. Mr. Crowe said the Best of the Best
Rodeo event is currently a standalone one and is not currently
associated with the PRCA Rodeo.
The Board said there would need to be a lot of outreach done to let
people know what they were trying to accomplish prior to the event and
suggested key people to contact. They recommended finding out what the
requirements would be from the Public Health Department. Ms. Porterfield
said she would keep the Board updated on the progress.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:17 p.m.
