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