SPECIAL MEETING FIRE CODE SERVICES FIRE MARSHAL
At 10:00 a.m. Chairman O’Brien opened a Special Meeting to consider
an Interlocal Agreement between Kittitas County and the Kittitas
County Fire Protection District #2 for Fire Code Services.
Chairman O’Brien said there had been a 1 page Agreement approved by
the Fire Commissioners, however Deputy Prosecutor Stephanie Hartung
suggested adding more language and then prepared a draft Interlocal
Agreement and Resolution. The Agreement would allow for Fire
District #2 to assist with Fire Code services until a Fire Marshal
has been hired. Fire District #2 would assist the Deputy Fire
Marshal with investigations, code interpretation, and variances. It
was noted that Josh would still be responsible for budgeting. The
coverage would also be used for when Josh takes vacation and sick
leave. Although the overtime rate is $75.00, both parties agreed
they would like to keep that to a minimum as much as possible.
Rich Elliott said he would need to take the proposed Interlocal
Agreement drafted by the Prosecutor’s office to the Fire
Commissioners for their consideration at their next meeting on July
14, 2016.
Staff was directed to submit the Resolution and Interlocal Agreement
on the July 19, 2016 Commissioners Agenda for their consideration.
Rich Elliott said he would bring back a signed document once the
Fire Commissioners have approved it.
Meeting adjourned at 10:15 a.m.
