At 10:00 a.m. Chairman Wachsmith opened a Special Meeting to

the Bowling Alley.
AGREEMENT BELFOR USA GROUP, INC EVENT CENTER
Vice-Chairman Osiadacz moved to approve a Professional Services
Agreement between Kittitas County and Belfor USA Group, in the
amount of $121,489.00 for restoration projects at the Kittitas
Valley Event Center beginning February 1, 2021. Commissioner Wright

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BOWLING ALLEY SOLID WASTE
Patti Johnson, Solid Waste Director/Interim Maintenance
Director/Project Manager, reviewed a draft Request for Proposals to
be accepted from private, nonprofit, or public organizations
interested in leasing, leasing-to-own, or purchasing for the
development or redevelopment of the Bowling Alley properties located
on the Kittitas Valley Event Center grounds.
Vice-Chairman Osiadacz noted how the Bowling Alley had been
purchased before the current Board members were in place and that it
is a part of the Fairgrounds Master Plan. She felt whatever it is
used for, it should complement the Event Center. Commissioner
Wright said he was worried that if the County were to sell the
facility, the County would not have as much say on what it’s being
used for. He said the community has expressed their desire to
retain at least a few lanes of the bowling alley for use.
The Board said they would like to create a committee to review and
score the proposals and it be made up of least 6 people including
Patti Johnson; a representative from the City of Ellensburg; Kady
Porterfield, Event Center Director; and a private citizen from each

the Agenda.
