ARPA Grant Award Contract with
Kittitas County Historical Society
Meeting
BOCC Regular Meeting
June 20, 2023
Summary:
• This agenda item presents the formal document to memorialize the $350K award to KCHS for Museum
building exterior renovation
• The language is similar to the recent “Happy Feet” award, particularly in assignment of a lienholder position
so as to protect the county’s contribution and ensure that it goes to its intended use.
Background:
• The project includes funding from KCHS, State, City of Ellensburg, and County, as follows:
• KCHS has received its state award for FY2024, and project can now commence during summer 2023.
• County offers this award on an “advance” rather than a “reimbursement” basis, so as to assist with project
cash-flow (other funding sources are reimbursement basis).
Analysis:
• This funding qualifies under the Federal “revenue replacement” guidelines
• Project represents phase 1, which is a stand-alone phase for exterior work. See “attachment A.1” in the
attached contract.
Conclusion / Next Steps:
• Approve; route for signatures
