Recommendations for the Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) regarding E2SHB 1152
Implementation for Kittitas County
Director Lamb presented a report with staff recommendations regarding E2SHB 1152 outlining the
options for local compliance and recommended to the BOCC that the BOH be expanded.
The BOCC directed staff to post for one additional BOH member.
Update on Provisional Contract Status, Developmental Disabilities
Kasey Knutson updated that after a contractually required on-site evaluation, the agency Entrust was
placed into provisional contract status. Kasey is working closely with our Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
(DPA) Stephanie Hartung to complete the provisional contract status. While in provisional status,
Entrust is not able to accept new clients for employment and day services. They are required to
complete the information for the on-site evaluation, notify current clients of the provisional status, and
in December there will be an additional required on-site evaluation. Kasey will update the BOCC at a
future meeting.
Other Business
Chelsey Loeffers advised the BOCC that there may be some staff potentially affected by the State
vaccine mandate due to the way we are funded for some of our grants/projects (SNAP-ED). DPA Hartung
is currently reviewing the contracts and will report her findings.
Meeting adjourned at 10:25 am
