COMMISSIONERS' MINUTES KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON WEBEX SPECIAL MEETING
FRIDAY 2:30 P.M. OCTOBER 16, 2020
Board members present: Chairman, Brett Wachsmith; Vice-Chairman
Laura Osiadacz & Commissioner Cory Wright.
Others: Julie Kjorsvik, Clerk of the Board; Judy Pless, Budget &
Finance Manager; and Nick Henderson, Coroner. SPECIAL MEETING TRUCK PURCHASE CORONER
At 2:30 p.m. Chairman Wachsmith opened a Special Meeting to
consider a request from the Coroner to purchase a new vehicle
and an Agreement with Data Axle.
Nick Henderson, Coroner, requested to purchase a new vehicle
(Toyota) and canopy for his office and said he may need a
possible budget amendment for 2020. He had obtained three quotes
from different vehicle dealerships for Toyota pickup truck. If
approved, his office would surplus the Ford Escape which is
currently experiencing issues relating to a seal in the
transmission, as well as the other truck which had previously
belonged to Search and Rescue. He would also like to obtain a
canopy in addition to the new truck to store their supplies. Mr.
Henderson said their office has secured a $99,000.00 grant which
goes from October 2020 to September 2021, and there may be some
leftover funds to assist in paying for a portion of the new
vehicle.
Commissioner Wright said while he appreciated the Coroner’s
office obtaining the grant, he would rather wait to make a
decision until there is a better understanding of how much will
be left over in the grant and until after the 2021 budget has
been adopted to re-evaluate his request. Commissioner Osiadacz
agreed and said she would rather give it more time until the end
of the year to see how the 2021 budget comes in and to see if
there is a way it could be budget neutral.
