UPDATE BOCC/ DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORTS COMMISSIONERS
Each Commissioner was assigned three different Department Heads to
meet with on a weekly basis. This was determined at a Special
Meeting with the Board of County Commissioners held on June 18,
2009. Each Commissioner reviewed discussions held with their
respective departments and exchanged details of those meetings. On
January 3, 2011 the Board determined it would be beneficial to
alternate Commissioners that will oversee the different Department
Head’s on an annual basis. They determined at the end of 2013 they
would review the various committees they participate in and provide
beneficial updates to the Board as needed during this time as well.
REQUEST HOMELESS & AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Jewell noted that this was a continued discussion from
August 2, 2016. He explained that Commissioner Osiadacz had some

follow-up to do prior to a final decision being made. He stated that
the BoCC has reviewed the survey and didn’t have any concerns.
Commissioner Osiadacz stated that after discussing the BoCC’s
concerns with the Homelessness & Affordable Housing Committee (HAHC)
she had the following proposal. She explained that they would like
to mail out the survey both in English and Spanish as well as have
drop boxes placed at the Upper County Courthouse; Kittitas County
Courthouse; Ellensburg City Hall; Kittitas City Hall; Cle Elum City
Hall; South Cle Elum City Hall & Roslyn City Hall. She stated that
it would cost approximately $7,400.00. Commissioner Jewell expressed
concerns regarding the mailing going out without a self-addressed
envelope. He felt it would be a waste of money because citizens are
being asked to participate in something and then not providing an
envelope to mail it back would be discouraging. He felt ideally the
envelopes would go out with postage as well. Commissioner Osiadacz
explained that she would not go against what the HAHC was
supporting. She explained that this discussion has been going on
long enough and feels it’s time to make a decision. She stressed the
importance of the Survey getting out to the residents.
Commissioner Jewell moved to approve the HAHC survey estimate
prepared by the Copy Shop, noting an adjustment and adding to the
estimate that they send out self-addressed envelopes. Commissioner
Osiadacz seconded. Motion carried 2-0.
APPLICATION DEPT. OF ECOLOGY COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Osiadacz moved to approve Vice-Chairman Paul Jewell’s
signature on four Water Resource Applications for Change/Transfer of
