KVEC Director Kady <br />Porterfield spoke with Jason Bell, who was the electrician <br />for the 2025 Kittitas County Fair, and provided him with a <br />claim form to complete. The Prosecutor’s Office sent a <br />letter to Mr. and Mrs. Bell sending him an additional claim <br />form to which he returned to the Prosecutor’s Office with a <br />damage estimate. The Prosecutor’s Office and Ms. <br />Porterfield agreed that this claim should be presented to the <br />Board for approval of payment. <br /> <br />INTERACTION: The Prosecutor’s Office works with the Washington <br />Counties Risk Pool to provide payment to the claimants, <br />and will send out a Release of All Claims to the Bells once <br />this Resolution is executed.
