KITTITAS COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA STAFF REPORT AGENDA DATE: July 21, 2026 ACTION REQUESTED: Request to Approve a Resolution Authorizing Chair Signature on an Agreement Between the County and City Cle Elum for the Revision of Corporate Boundary for the City and Approve a Resolution as Part of the Agreement Accepting the City of Cle Elum Change to Corporate Limits BACKGROUND: The City of Cle Elum has, through previous action, annexed areas on either side of SR 903 (W. Second Street) between Ranger Station Road and the eastern boundary of the County transfer station property. Annexations of property either side of SR903 did not include the State Route. The City has interest in revising their corporate limits by annexing a segment of SR903 to allow for urban design standards to apply to the roadway. RCW 35A.21.210 authorizes code cities and counties to revise any part of a corporate boundary of a city which “coincides with the centerline, edge, or any portion of a public street, road or highway right of way by substituting therefore a right of way line of the same public street, road or highway so as fully to include or fully to exclude that segment of the public street, road or highway from the corporate limits of the City.” For the revision to the corporate boundary through this process, the steps include: a. City adoption of a Resolution b. Mayor executes the Agreement on behalf of the City c. County adopts a Resolution approving the Agreement and accepts the corporate boundary revision d. Mayor executes an ordinance approved by the City e. Corporate boundary revision becomes effective in accordance with the Agreement and City Ordinance. The City considered and approved their resolution authorizing the agreement and ordinance at their July 14, 2026 Regular City Council meeting. INTERACTION: Public Works
