It <br />was noted though, that the Board did not want to miss out on COVID- <br />19 funding opportunities. <br /> <br />The BOCC decided that under capital budget, the top priorities would <br />be local community projects, specifically Bower’s Field Airport and <br />the Bloom Pavilion in the Kittitas County Event Center. <br /> <br />The BOCC decided that under transportation budget, the top <br />priorities would be smaller in ask due to the budget being smaller <br />than anticipated and because of potential federal funding for <br />transportation. The Board decided to prioritize something like a <br />“pit toilet” off of exit 78 on Interstate 90. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 4:13 p.m. KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DEPUTY CLERK OF THE BOARD I KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br /> Taylor Crouch Brett Wachsmith, Chairman <br />
