AGENDA STAFF REPORT
AGENDA DATE: March 16, 2021
ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with The Watershed
Company for Phase II of Critical Areas Ordinance Update.
BACKGROUND: On October 15, 2019, Kittitas County executed a Professional Service Agreement
(PSA) with The Watershed Company for Phase II of the periodic update to the
county’s Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO). Staff is requesting an amendment to this
PSA in order to complete the CAO update. This amendment would only re-allocate
sub-phase budgets, but would not increase the overall contract value of the PSA.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person stakeholder meetings were not
conducted, but staff will be seeking online and electronic input regarding the
proposed CAO update. Money from this task was moved to the Critical Aquifer
Recharge Areas (CARA) Mapping task. Additionally, money that was not
previously spent in this and other tasks has be re-allocated to Project Coordination
and Public Comment Responses in order to complete the update.
The overall contract value would remain at $57,000, and no budget amendment is
necessary.
INTERACTION: Board of Commissioners, Prosecutor’s Office, Auditor’s Office, and Community
Development Services
RECOMMENDATION: Approve proposed Amendment to the Phase II Professional Services Agreement with
The Watershed Company and authorize the Chair to sign the amendment.
HANDLING: None
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Amendment to Phase II Professional Services Agreement with The
