BACKGROUND: The Kittitas Conservation District is finalizing designs for

the work within this calendar year, we are proposing to

investigation. This work will instead occur closer to
construction. With the increase in costs and the reduced
scope, and additional $5,000 is required to complete the
project. The proposed amendment would increase the
amount payable from $82,865 to $87,865. There is
sufficient funding in the Flood Control Fund to cover this
costincrease.
