Frequently Asked Questions Page 117
14BFrequently Asked Questions
Question 1: How does the County determine priorities for the projects listed in the CFP?
Answer: This CFP provides general guidance on prioritizing public facility projects. Each
project proposal is reviewed by the CFP Task Force using the following criteria:
1. Improvements to obsolete or worn out existing public facilities that
achieve or maintain adopted levels of service.
2. New or expanded public facilities that achieve or maintain adopted levels
of service.
3. Improvements to existing public facilities or new public facilities that
eliminate hazards.
4. New or expanded public facilities that achieve or maintain adopted levels
of service as forecasted during the next six-years.
5. Improvements to existing public facilities or new public facilities that
reduce the operating cost of providing a public service or facility.
6. New facilities that provide excess capacity that will be needed beyond
the next six-years.
7. All other facilities the County is obligated to complete that do not meet
the criteria above.
8. Availability of funding.
The Board of County Commissioners make the final determination of the priority
order of the projects listed in the CFP.
Question 2: Are projects automatically given funding in priority order?
Answer: No, if grant funds are applied for and received, chances are good that the grant
funded project will become a priority. Grant funds awarded become new and
additional revenue to the County, above and beyond the County’s current
resources. The County continually looks for ways to reduce the reliance on
General Fund dollars for capital projects to stretch current resources.
Question 3: Will a project that is partially funded be listed in the CFP?
Answer: It depends. If the project is still in-progress, but no additional money is needed
beyond what has already been appropriated, it will not show up in the CFP in
future years. If the project does need additional funds appropriated beyond the
current level of funding, it will continue to show up in the CFP.
Question 4: Are all projects in the CFP completed within the next 6 years?
Answer: No, for several reasons. First, the CFP is annually reviewed and amended to
verify that fiscal resources are available. Second, the need for capital facilities is
generated by population growth, existing facility deficiencies, major facility
maintenance and repair needs, internal operations, and Comprehensive Plan goals
and policies. There is a need to continually assess which projects are affected
and should be considered a priority. As a result, project estimates and timelines
may change.
Frequently Asked Questions Page 118
Question 5: What does level of service (LOS) mean?
Answer: The LOS is a quantifiable measure of the amount of public facilities that is
provided, such as acres of park land per capita, vehicle capacity of intersections,
or water pressure per square inch available for water system.
Question 6: What is concurrency?
Answer: All public facilities that are needed to serve new development or a growing
service area population, must be in place at the time of initial need. If the
facilities are not in place, a financial commitment must have been made to
provide the facilities within six-years of the time of the initial need and must
have the capacity to serve the new development or a growing service area
population without decreasing service levels below locally established minimum
standards.
Question 7: How do I get involved in the CFP process?
Answer: Information on the CFP process will be posted on the County’s website at the
following address: https://www.co.kittitas.wa.us/cds/land-use/default.aspx. To
receive email updates on when new information is posted, you can subscribe to
Kittitas County’s email notification subscription service for “Comprehensive
Plan Announcements.” All persons can provide written or verbal comments to
the Planning Commission and to the Commissioners, before or during the
scheduled public hearings.

2024 Equipment Rental & Revolving Preliminary Budget
The Director of Public Works manages the Kittitas County Equipment Rental and Revolving (E. R. & R.) Fund. The E. R. & R.
The purpose of the fund is to account for the financing of goods and services provided primarily to the road fund.
The following Services are Provided by the ER&R Fund:
Administration-The Administration division provides financial management and administration for the divisions within the E. R.
& R. Fund. Services include asset management, developing rental rates and inventory management. Revenues are provided.
Pits and Quarries -The Pits & Quarries division manages the pits and stockpiles of rock owned by Kittitas County. The rock
stockpiled in these pits is purchased by the County Road Fund for use on county road maintenance and construction projects
and winter road sanding operations. In addition to county owned pits, we also solicit bids from private vendors for maintenance
rock used by the County Road Fund. Revenues are provided through sales of county owned rock primarily to the County Road.
Mechanic Shop - The Mechanical Shop division is responsible for maintaining the fleet of vehicles utilized by the County Road
Fund. This division also maintains the County mechanical shop facilities. The division includes two mechanics and one shop
foreman. Kittitas County also sublets light duty vehicle preventive maintenance such as lube and oil changes to local vendors.
Central Stores - The Central Stores maintains a supply of culvert pipe and guardrail used by the County Road Fund in the
event of unscheduled repairs. For scheduled construction projects culvert pipe and guardrail are purchased direct by the road
fund as these materials do not require storage. Revenues are provided through the sales of materials to the County Road
Rental Services - The Equipment Rental Services accounts for the maintenance and operation of the vehicles and equipment
used primarily by the County Road Fund. Revenues are provided through adopted equipment rental rates. Rates are
established to cover the operating costs of the equipment (fuel, insurance, repairs) and a replacement factor to cover inflation.
Sign Fabrication Shop - This functionality is being moved to Road Maintenance.
Primary Goal for 2024 - The primary goal for ER&R for 2024 is to complete acquisition of land supporting relocation of the
Lower County Shop. Public Works proposes acquiring approximately five acres of land from Solid Waste along SR 907
allowing colocation with the new Lower County Solid Waste Transfer Station.

Introduction:
Annually Kittitas County Department of Public Works develops a listing of county road
and bridge improvements for Board of County Commission consideration. The listing is
accompanied by a public outreach effort. Public comments are evaluated, and staff adjusts
the original proposal that is then finalized and presented to the Board of County
Commissioners during the annual County budget process. Given the complexity of
municipal engineering, environmental permitting, right of way acquisition and
construction; Public Works schedules projects an additional five years beyond the first
budget year. The planning schedule includes programmed funding amounts and sources
along with project forecast expenses. The schedule identifies the various projects beginning
in the first budget year (2024) extending to the last program year (2029).
2024-2029 Plan:
This plan is organized into three components for ease of understanding the various projects
contained in the six-year plan:
1 - Map identifying the general location of various projects around the County
2 -The six-year project listing and associated funding plan
3 - Project specific sheets listing specific project information including: County
Road Project Number (if assigned at the time of publication), priority number, title,
project description, project status, photos and funding sources

Introduction
Every year, the Kittitas County Flood Control Zone District (“District”) develops a list of
capital improvement projects for Board of County Commission consideration. The
proposal is presented to the Board of County Commissioners during the annual County

environmental permitting, and construction, the Flood Control Zone District schedules
projects an additional five years behind the first budget year. The planning schedule
includes programmed funding amounts and sources along with project forecast expenses.
The schedule identifies the various projects beginning in the first budget year (2024)
extending to the last year in program (2029).
This plan is organized into three major components for the ease of understanding the
