UPDATE STATIC DISPLAY SEAHAWK PROWLER COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner O’Brien gave an update on a meeting the Board
previously held on 3/13/2017 to consider a request for a static
display of a “Seahawk” EA-6B Prowler from Marine Tactical Electronic
Warfare Squadron Four (VMAQ-4). He stated that he discussed the
project with Public Works Director Mark Cook and Director Cook
indicated that the County expense would be approximately $10,000.00.
He stated that the AT&T Vets would cover all other costs. He stated
that insurance wouldn’t be needed since the plane will be
decommissioned and the County liability insurance would cover any
other potential incidents but stressed he didn’t see that to be
something likely to happen. He stated that there are Aviation Vets
out of Wenatchee that a contract could be done with to apply a clear
coat before it was brought to Kittitas County for display. He stated
that he would like to see about LTAC funds for the project to fund
the County’s portion.
5/01/2017 MINUTES 2
Chairman Jewell stated that the project would have to be awarded by
the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee and noted that the timing was
fairly good since the small grants project application process will
be available soon. He felt this project would fit the requirements.
Commissioner Osiadacz and Chairman Jewell both stressed that they
would need to see a contract and financial guarantee protecting the
County. Chairman Jewell indicated that signage would need to be done
as well. He suggested Commissioner O’Brien work on those items and
then bring it to the next Public Works Study Session to discuss
since Public Works needs to be involved with the discussion.
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.
