Kittitas County commissioners ratify letters backing intersection improvements and Boys & Girls Club funding; routine admin approvals

The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners on March 9, 2026 ratified two letters and completed routine administrative business during a short Office Administration meeting.

Vice‑Chairman Brett Wachsmith moved and Commissioner Laura Osiadacz seconded approval and ratification of a letter to Mayor Elliott supporting the University Way and Water Street intersection improvements; the motion carried 3-0. The board also moved to ratify a letter to Senator Maria Cantwell supporting the Boys and Girls Club of Columbia Basin's request for Congressionally directed spending to construct a youth development and community resilience facility in Cle Elum; that motion also passed 3-0.

The board approved and signed County employee Personnel Action Forms and vouchers, reviewed the weekly correspondence log and whiteboard topics, set department-head meeting assignments for 2026, and decided on county Facebook posts for the week (an America 250 events link and information about a local chickenpox outbreak). The record shows no public comments during the meeting.

At 9:18 a.m. the board recessed into an executive session under RCW 42.30.110(g) to evaluate the qualifications of an applicant for public employment or to review the performance of a public employee; the board reconvened at 9:23 a.m. and the minutes state no action was taken.
