The Board asked about measurable goals. <br />Further discussion followed. <br />Board Direction: Keep the Board updated with progress reports. <br />LOWER COUNTY <br />SHOP: <br />Holmes submitted a draft concept design to the Board for a new <br />Lower County Shop, and explained his ideas. Discussion <br />followed on why we would want to plan to move County <br />employees out to the Airport, spreading them further apart, <br />rather than bringing them together. Holmes stated that he is <br />presenting this to the Board in this fashion, and it is up to the <br />Board to make some decisions about the concepts for a new <br />shop facility, and give direction about what direction they want to <br />go. Discussion followed on the draft concept as presented and <br />where and whom the details came from, such as how many <br />offices are in the proposed facility. Jurgens explained how this <br />came about. Holmes added that there are several other agencies <br />interested in joining PW out at the Airport. Further discussion <br />followed. <br />Board Direction: <br />Board will review the draft concept design. <br />INTERPRETIVE CENTER: <br />D'Hondt reported working with CDS on permitting for this project, <br />including SEPA and a shoreline permit.

An additional $15K <br />will be needed for foundation design and water system design. <br />Flood permitting will cost $7K, and other additional costs are <br />adding up. Discussion followed on costs. Jurgens spoke about <br />411 N. Ruby, Suite #1 <br />TEL (509) 962-7523 <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />FAX (509) 962-7663 <br />
