SPECIAL MEETING PROPOSAL COMMISSIONERS
At 8:02 a.m. Chairman O’Brien opened a Special Meeting to discuss a
proposal for processing the Schnebly Water Rights.
Bill Clarke, Special Deputy Prosecutor for Kittitas County reviewed
the First Amendment to Water Right Purchase and Sale Agreement
between Kittitas County and Craig & Nancy Schnebly. He stated that
the Schnebly’s are on board to pay half of the $17,900.00 (contract
change #4 with Aspect Consulting). He stated that the County will
see the full bill initially and then will recoup the 50% from the
Schneblys.
Vice-Chairman Jewell expressed his frustrations for how long the
process has taken. He questioned what DOE has been doing since the
Purchase and Sale Agreement was signed, and questioned Section 2.3
in the Amendment. He wondered if new language was being added to the
Agreements now.
Dan Haller, Aspect Consulting reviewed Contract Change #4 Scope of
Work, and the deliverables included in the change.
Staff was directed to place both the Aspect Consulting Contract
Change No.: 4 and the First Amendment to Water Right purchase and
Sale Agreement between Kittitas County and Craig and Nancy Schnebly
on the BoCC Office Admin Meeting for action.
Meeting adjourned at 8:25 a.m.
