2022-09-21 MINUTES 1 <br />COMMISSIONERS' MINUTES <br />KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br />AUDITORIUM <br />SPECIAL MEETING <br /> <br />WEDNESDAY 9:00 A.M. SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 <br /> <br />Board members present: Chairman Laura Osiadacz; Vice-Chairman Cory <br />Wright; and Commissioner Brett Wachsmith. <br /> <br />Others: Julie Kjorsvik, Clerk of the Board; Chelsey Loeffers, <br />Public Health Director; Mike Hougardy, Assessor; Elishia Harvill, <br />Chief Administrator; Katrina Mankus, Juvenile Court Administrator; <br />and Phil Backlund, Consultant. <br /> <br />SPECIAL MEETING MANAGEMENT TEAM COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />At 9:00 a.m. Chairman Osiadacz opened a Special Meeting to meet with <br />the Management Team’s Executive Committee. <br /> <br />The Management Team had voted to recommend scheduling a monthly <br />meeting between the Board of County Commissioners and the Executive <br />Committee, the week following their monthly meetings. They felt it <br />was an opportunity to increase communication and partnership between <br />the two groups; the ability to provide a recap of the Management <br />Team meeting; and to get any input from the Commissioners to take <br />back to their next meeting. Following the Management Team Retreat in <br />July, the Management Team also recommended eliminating the monthly <br />Department Head meeting with the Board of Commissioners Chairman, <br />which the Board did not have an issue with cancelling. <br /> <br />Mike Hougardy, Assessor, said the Management Team would like to have <br />the ability to make recommendations to committees, but needed more <br />time to differentiate those groups who are under the Management Team <br />versus the Board of County Commissioners. <br /> <br />The Management Team recommended creating a Centralized Public Record <br />position in the Prosecutor’s office. The Board said they would like <br />the Management Team to have it tied into their strategic plan. The <br />Management Team will be working on their strategic plan during their <br />half-day retreat scheduled for October 7th. <br /> <br />There was discussion on possible changes to the Management Team if a <br />County Administrator position were to be created in the future. <br /> <br />The meeting was concluded at 9:47 a.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
