Kittitas County, WA - 04/03/2015 - The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners have proclaimed April 2015 as National County Government Month.
The national theme is "Counties Moving America Forward: The Keys are Transportation and Infrastructure". Kittitas County will be one of thousands of counties across America who will be promoting local programs and services that are offered to the public. According to a Proclamation signed by the Board of County Commissioners, “counties take pride in their responsibility to protect and enhance the health, welfare and safety of its residents in efficient and cost-effective ways and encourage all county officials, employees, schools and residents to participate in county government celebration activities”. From April 6th through April 10th county departments will have informational displays set up throughout the Kittitas County Courthouse lobby. The public is welcome and encouraged to stop by and view the materials during regular business hours. This year the Board of County Commissioners office received over 650 entries for their annual coloring contest for children in grades K-5. This year’s theme for the coloring contest is “Outdoor Adventures in Kittitas County”. All of the entries will be displayed throughout the courthouse for 3 weeks beginning April 6th. Chairman Berndt said the Commissioners office receives many compliments about the artwork from both the public and employees, “there’s just something about children’s artwork and their creativity that can put a big smile on anyone’s face”.
