Communications Director. Chairman Wachsmith was directed to notify
Patti Stacey, Solid Waste Director/Project Manager/Interim

their Conference Room useable to all and not just their office, as
the County as a whole is always looking for meeting spaces. Ms.
Cziske stated that she would work on messaging and notice to County
Departments/Office.
DISCUSSION NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING COMMISSIONERS
Mandy Buchholz, Administrative Supervisor asked the Board to confirm
that they expect legal notices to be done in the Daily Record for
issues impacting the Lower County even though the Official County
Newspaper this year is the Northern Kittitas County Tribune. She
stated that in the past if it’s a matter that impacts the Upper
County, the County has always published in the Upper County Paper
when the Daily Record was our paper of record. So she thought that
same practice would continue but it is not. The Board directed Staff
to send out a reminder to follow past practices for publishing legal
notices so that regardless of who the Official County Newspaper is,
when it’s something that impacts the other part of the County those
residents have the opportunity to be noticed.
