AGENDA STAFF REPORT
AGENDA DATE: May 19, 2020
ACTION REQUESTED: Approve Resolution to Execute an Interlocal for CARES
Funding Allocation and Execute Interlocal.
BACKGROUND: In order to apply for the variance to enter phase 2 of the
reopen Washington Plan, Kittitas County was required to
submit a plan detailing our capabilities regarding testing,
quarantine and isolation, case investigation and contract
tracing, data management, tracking, and other related
tasks, which all require funding. Public health reached out
to the local municipalities seeking funding contributions to
share in the required expenses that impact the entire county.
The other municipalities understood the need and request
and gave assurances to provide 25% of their CARES
allocation from the state as provided in the attached
interlocal. Although originally, the agreement was tied to
the variance, significant public health expenses will exist
regardless of whether the variance is granted or denied.
The municipalities agree to provide the funding to share in
the costs necessary to respond to the Covid-19 emergency.
INTERACTION: The Prosecutor’s office was directed to draft the attached
resolution and interlocal.
RECOMMENDATION: Approved the attached resolution and execute the attached
interlocal.
ATTACHMENTS: Resolution Authorizing Execution of an Interlocal Between
the Municipalities in Kittitas County for CARES
