DISCUSSION SHAFT STREET COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Osiadacz requested the Board consider supporting a
request for the use of Shaft Street to continue to Progress Path
from Cle Elum/Roslyn School to the City of Roslyn. She stated that
the purpose of Progress Path was an effort to keep the kids off of
State Route 903. She stated that the work is being done by the
project coordinators and she spoke with Public Works regarding the
need for striping. She stated that Public Works indicated they had
no issues. The Board encouraged Commissioner Osiadacz to have Public
Works add Shaft Street to the Striping Contract and expressed their
support for the project.
DISCUSSION FAIR BOARD COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Osiadacz stated that she had invited Clay Myers,
Undersheriff/Fair Board Member to the discussion. She stated that
after she presented the Boards decision on Vaping that they
determined on May 30, 2017, she was frustrated as it seems she was
not getting all the information. She stated the Fair Board has
frustrations as well and they stem from the way the Policy was
presented for discussion with the Fair Board with regard to Vaping.
Clay Myers, Undersheriff/Fair Board Member stated that the way the
Health Department presented it to them was that the policy was for
the Fair Board to develop. He stated if that’s not the case that’s
fine. But what the Fair Board and himself find frustrating is when a
lot of time and effort is put into something and then the Board
makes a decision that is completely opposite from the Fair Board.
He stated that they can spend their time in better ways then on
Policy that isn’t adopted or considered.
Commissioner Jewell expressed his frustrations regarding this topic
in general he stated he can’t believe they are still having this
discussion. He stated it’s time for the Board to make a decision and
they did. He apologized for the way the policy was presented and the
miscommunication, however he indicated that the Board of County
Commissioners has always tried to keep the Fair Board involved and
aware of decisions/changes being made. He said he felt that by
saying no smoking/no vaping it is clear and hopefully easier to
enforce.
