COMMISSIONERS' MINUTES KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON CONFERENCE ROOM/WEBEX SPECIAL MEETING
THURSDAY 1:30 P.M. FEBRUARY 3, 2022
Board members present: Chairman Laura Osiadacz, Vice-Chairman Cory
Wright, and Commissioner Brett Wachsmith.
Others: Taylor Crouch, Administrative Assistant; Patti Johnson,
Solid Waste Director/Interim Maintenance Director/Project Manager;
Lisa Lazar, DLR Associate; and Erica Loynd, DLR Principal. SPECIAL MEETING DLR UPDATE COMMISSIONERS
At 1:32 p.m. Chairman Osiadacz opened a Special Meeting to obtain an
update from DLR.
Erica Loynd, DLR Principal, said she was the Project Manager on the
proposed new Courthouse. She has also been working on preparing the
public involvement plan. Lisa Lazar, DLR Associate, reviewed the 2
final sites, at the Airport and remaining Downtown. There was
discussion on the pros and cons of each location. The Board was more
in favor of the Airport location after the discussion. It would be
cheaper to construct, there is more space available, funds would
become available from selling downtown locations, and it would help
drive business out to the Airport. There needs to be an
investigation into an FAA claim that the jail is not allowed on FAA
land because it constitutes as “overnight stays”.
The Board stated they wished to have this ready for the ballot in
February of 2023. DLR is meeting with departments within the coming
week to get a full scope of the needs for the space. DLR will focus
on the Airport site moving forward for schematics and design. The
design concept needs to be finalized by mid-March to stay on track.
Meeting adjourned at 2:30 p.m.
