AGENDA STAFF REPORT
AGENDA DATE: June 15, 2021
ACTION REQUESTED: Requesting Approval of a Resolution to Authorize the Execution of an Interlocal
Agreement between Kittitas County and Kittitas County Conservation District
for Continuing Implementation of the Voluntary Stewardship Program
BACKGROUND: In 2011, the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners approved an ordinance electing
to participate in the Voluntary Stewardship Program. This ordinance elected to have
Kittitas County proceed with implementation of the requirements of the Voluntary
Stewardship Program once the Washington State Legislature provides adequate
funding for such activity. The Washington State Legislature has appropriated
Voluntary Stewardship funds for the 2021-2023 budget for continued implementation
of the Voluntary Stewardship Program.
Kittitas County previously entered into an Interlocal Agreement with the Kittitas
County Conservation District for the development of a Voluntary Stewardship
Program. On August 21, 2017, the Interlocal Agreement was updated to include the
2018-2019 budget. On March 5, 2019 the Interlocal Agreement was amended to
update the budget for the 2018-2019 fiscal years to reflect the actual costs for fiscal
year 2018 and the budget for fiscal year 2019. On July 2, 2019, the Interlocal
Agreement was updated for the fiscal years 2019-2021.
The Conservation District continues to be involved in the development and
implementation of the Voluntary Stewardship Program. The proposed Interlocal
Agreement would allow for continued implementation of the Voluntary Stewardship
Program from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023.
The proposed Interlocal Agreement has received legal review from the Kittitas
County Prosecutor’s Office.
